There are two “Creations” so‐called, in the Babylonian fragments, and as _Genesis_ has adhered to this, we find its first two chapters distinguished as the Elohite and the Jehovite Creations. Their proper order, however, is not preserved in these or in any other exoteric accounts. Now these “Creations,” according to the Occult Teachings, refer respectively to the formation of the primordial seven Men by the Progenitors, the Pitris, or Elohim, and to that of the human Groups after the Fall. All this will be examined in the light of Science and comparisons drawn from the scriptures of all the ancient nations, the _Bible_ included, as we proceed. Meanwhile, before we turn to the Anthropogenesis of the prehistoric Races, it may be useful to agree upon the names to be given to the Continents on which the four great Races, which preceded our Adamic Race, were born, lived, and died. Their archaic and Esoteric names were many, and varied with the language of the nation which mentioned them in its annals and scriptures. That which in the _Vendîdâd_, for instance, is referred to as Airyana Vaêjô(12) wherein was born the original Zoroaster,(13) is called in the Purânic literature Shveta Dvîpa, Mount Meru, the Abode of Vishnu, etc.; and in the Secret Doctrine is simply named the “Land of the Gods,” under their chiefs, the “Spirits of this Planet.” Therefore, in view of the possible, and even very probable confusion, that may arise, it is considered more convenient to adopt, for each of the four Continents constantly referred to, a name more familiar to the cultured reader. It is proposed, then, to call the first Continent, or rather the first _terra firma_ on which the First Race was evolved by the divine Progenitors: I. The Imperishable Sacred Land. The reason for the name is that it is stated that: this “Imperishable Sacred Land” never shared the fate of the other Continents, because it is the only one whose destiny it is to last from the beginning to the end of the Manvantara throughout each Round. It is the cradle of the first man and the dwelling of the last _divine_ mortal, chosen as a Shishta for the future seed of humanity. Of this mysterious and sacred land very little can be said, except, perhaps, according to a poetical expression in one of the Commentaries, that the “_Pole‐star has its watchful eye upon it, from the dawn to the close of the twilight of a Day of the Great Breath_.”(14) II.
