The first root race was Polarian. It was ethereal, composed of etheric matter. The second root race was Hyperborean (Kimpurushan). Hyperboreans was colored golden yellow. Hyperborea was on Plaksha continent covering Northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Northern Asia and Kamchatka.
The third root race was Lemurians. The main mission of Lemurians, the 3rd human race , was the development of human heart (4th chakra). They were somewhat ethereal, focused neither on material progress nor technology, and existed in a higher dimensional level. Since they were not for this density, it is hard to tell when they lived, but likely over 500 thousand years ago.
The main mission of Atlanteans (the 4th human race on Earth) was the development of the material body (1st and 2nd chakra). They greatly advanced in exploration of sex and genetic engineering but their civilization fell after they ventured into wars and exploitation of masses (3rd chakra). The destruction of Atlantis also destroyed Lemurians. Lemurians who escaped from Earth before the Catastrophe, settled elsewhere in the Universe and are called Lumerians. (Lemurians - from their location on Earth called Mu. Lumerians from Lum - light.)
The mission of our Homo Sapiens civilization (the 5th human race on Earth) is the development of will power (the 3rd chakra, the chakra of warriors). You can see this in the nature of many humans. Luckily, not all humans are focused on the 3rd chakra activities and even those who are, not always are expressing their 3rd chakra activity via war.
Since the final fall of Atlantis around 23 thousand years ago the Earth was in a dark period called the Age of Pisces. Now the planet transitions into the Age of Aquarius. This transition is about 40 years long with the focal point at 2012. The Age of Pisces xxxgive datesxxx was characterized by the fall of vibrational levels accompanied by high polarity. Humanity was in a state of confusion, and under a great deal of mind control and manipulation by forces of darkness. Now the forces of darkness have receded and humans are beginning to re-awaken to their psychic and telepathic abilities.
Our religions also have divine missions: Judaism develops mind, Christianity - soul and Islam - will power. All of these traits contribute to collective soul.
Among nations the divine assignment for Americans is the development of self-respect.
At the time Lemuria and Atlantis, the planet was openly visited by extraterrestrials. The history of Earth was intertwined and influenced by the wars and other events on nearby stars. Many of large stars in the sky are nearby, and are part of our star cluster. Here is a list of bright stars which can be considered our star cluster: Arcturus, Alpha Centauri (A and B), Proxima Centauri, Altair, Antares, Betelgeuse, Canopus, Fomalhaut, Orion, Pleiades, Polaris, Procyon (A and B), Rigel, Sirius (A and B), Tau Ceti and Vega. I included in this list mostly the stars which are known in our culture and those are the ones visible in the Northern hemisphere. As we research aliens, we should check out southern hemisphere stars as well.
