“As described in the Commentary, the very earliest of that Race were: The ‘Sons of Passive Yoga.’ They issued from the Second Manushyas [Human Race], and became oviparous. The emanations that came out of their bodies during the seasons of procreation were ovulary; the small spheroidal nuclei developing into a large soft, egg-like vehicle, gradually when, after a period of gestation, it broke and the young human animal issued from it unaided, as the fowls do in our Race. […]At all events, this conception is more philosophical than that of Eve with a suddenly created placenta giving birth to Cain, because of the ‘apple,’ when even the marsupial, the earliest of mammals, is not placental yet. Moreover, the progressive order of the methods of reproduction, as unveiled by Science, is a brilliant confirmation of Esoteric Ethnology. It is only necessary to tabulate the data in order to prove our assertion. I. Fission. As seen in the division of the homogeneous speck of Protoplasm, known as Moneron or Amoeba, into two. As seen in the division of the nucleated cell, in which the cell nucleus splits into two subnuclei, which either develop within the original cellwall or burst it, and multiply outside as independent entities. II. Budding. A small portion of the parent structure swells out at the surface and finally parts company, growing to the size of the original organism; e.g., many vegetables, the sea-anemone, etc. III. Spores. A single cell thrown off by the parent organism, which develops into a multicellular organism reproducing the features of the latter, e.g., Bacteria arid mosses. IV. Intermediate Hermaphroditism. Male and female organs inhering in the same individual; e.g., the majority of plants; worms, and snails, etc.; allied to budding. V. True Sexual Union. We now come to an important point with regard to the double evolution of the human race. The Sons of Wisdom, or the Spiritual Dhyanis, had become ‘intellectual’ through their contact with Matter, because they had already reached, during previous cycles of incarnation, that degree of intellect which enabled them to become independent and self-conscious entities, on this plane of Matter. They were reborn only by reason of Karmic effects. They entered those who were ‘ready’ and became the Arhats, or Sages, alluded to above. This needs explanation. It does not mean that Monads entered Forms in which other Monads already were. They were ‘Essences,’ ‘Intelligences,’ and Conscious Spirits; Entities seeking to become still more conscious by uniting with more developed Matter. Their essence was too pure to be distinct from the Universal Essence, but their ‘Egos,’ or Manas (since they are called Mânasaputra, born of Mahat, or Brahmâ) had to pass through Earthly human experiences to become all-wise, and be able to start on the returning ascending cycle. The Monads are not discrete principles, limited or conditioned, but rays from that one universal absolute Principle.”
