At that time thinking was more instinctive and was still connected with the life forces. The people of Atlantean times were still able to transform the power inherent in seeds into a driving force. Just as man today has a kind of reservoir of power stored up in the coal seams, which can produce steam to drive locomotives and move loads, so Atlantean man had great storehouses of plant seeds containing a force which could be used to drive vehicles, as described by Scott-Elliot[^4] in his booklet about Atlantis. This art has been lost to mankind. The spiritual power of the Atlanteans could control living nature and make use of the latent power in seeds. The spiritual powers of the fifth Root Race are only sufficient to control the forces of the inorganic world of minerals. Thus the Manas of the fifth Great Epoch is bound up with the mineral forces in the same way as the man of Atlantean times was bound up with the life forces. All Promethean powers are chained to the rock, to the solid earth. For that reason, the apostle Peter is the ‘rock’ upon which Christ founded His Church. It is the same as the rock of the Caucasus. Man belonging to the fifth epoch has to seek his destiny on the physical plane alone. He is bound up with inorganic mineral forces.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Die atlantische Wurzelrasse war noch imstande, aus der Samenkraft sich eine Bewegungskraft zu bilden. Wie heute der Mensch in den Kohlenlagern eine Art Reservoir hat an Kraft, die er in Dampf verwandelt zur Fortbewegung der Lokomotiven und Lasten, so hatte der Atlantier große Lager von Pflanzensamen, welche Kräfte enthielten, die er umwandeln konnte in Fortbewegungskraft, von der getrieben wurden jene Fahrzeuge, die in Scott-Elliots Broschüre über die Atlantis beschrieben werden. Diese Kunst ist verlorengegangen. Der Geist des atlantischen Menschen bezwang noch die lebendige Natur, die Samenkraft. Der Geist der fünften Rasse kann nur die leblose Natur, die im Stein, in den Mineralien liegenden Werdekräfte besiegen. So ist das Manas der fünften Wurzelrasse gefesselt an die mineralischen Kräfte, wie die atlantische Rasse gebunden war an die Lebenskräfte. Alle Prometheuskraft ist gefesselt an den Felsen, an die Erde. Daher ist auch Petrus der Fels, auf den Christus baute. Es ist dasselbe wie der Fels des Kaukasus.
