IVIV Lemuria according to Madame Blavatsky & Julius Evola

[Doug Millison]

_Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of  
Identity_ by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke discusses the Lemuria story as   
presented by Madame Blavatsky, and as adapted from Madame B by Julius  
Evola.  This is a book I highly recommend for Pynchon readers, along  
with Goodrick-Clarke's earlier book, The Occult Roots of Nazism which   
discusses the early development of Nazi ideology in the context of the  
occult revival at the end of the 19th century.  Black Sun brings it  
into the 20th century.

"According to Blavatsky, the modern white race constituted the fifth  
root-race upon a planet that was passing through the fourth cosmic  
round, so that an upward process of spiritual advance lay before  
mankind. She called this fifth root-race the Aryan race and claimed it  
had been preceded by the fourth root-race of Atlanteans, which had  
largely perished in a flood that submerged the mid-Atlantic continent.  
The three earlier races of the present planetary round were proto- 
human, consisting of the first Astral root-race, which arose in an  
invisible, imperishable and sacred land, and the second Hyperborean  
root-race which had dwelled on a vanished polar continent. The third  
Lemurian root-race had flourished on the continent of Lemuria that  
once lay in the Indian Ocean. It was probably due to this race's  
position at or near the nadir of the evolutionary cycle that Blavatsky  
charged the Lemurians with racial mixing entailing a kind of Fall and  
the breeding of monsters and inferior races." p. 80

"Using occult ideas from Helena Blavatsky's Theosophy, Evola  
speculated that a large Atlantean group became mixed with aboriginal  
Southern races of proto-Mongols and proto-Negroes who may have  
originated in the lost continent of Lemuria." p. 59
