ATLANTEANS AND ARYANS IN THE SECRET DOCTRINE
When the "secret of the Aryans" is invoked, many readers likely anticipate the well-worn esoteric revelation that the Aryans are the direct, linear descendants of the Atlanteans — and, furthermore, that these Atlanteans constituted a master race of tall, blond, blue-eyed exemplars, precisely as the National Socialist ideologues asserted.
However, the foundational core of this popularized "revelation" is categorically WRONG.
As established previously, ethno-nationalist theoreticians and creators of modern political dogmas systematically distorted and cherry-picked esoteric literature to fuel their secular agendas.
Driven by geopolitical greed and a materialist desire for terrestrial dominance, they entirely failed to comprehend—or deliberately ignored—the comprehensive scope of the metaphysical texts from which they extracted those isolated concepts.
Indeed, navigating Helena Petrovna Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine (originally published in 1888 in two monumental volumes, later formatted into six volumes in Portuguese editions) alongside contemporary Theosophical works like Alfred Percy Sinnett’s Esoteric Buddhism (1883), is an exceedingly challenging intellectual endeavor.
It is a study that demands rigorous patience and successive re-readings to grasp its two primary structural pillars: Cosmogenesis and Anthropogenesis.
The underlying architecture of these themes is so intricate that the commentaries required extensive elaboration to detail the archaic symbology embedded within the universal sciences, mythologies, and world religions, spanning from primordial antediluvian epochs to Classical Antiquity.
The Evolutionary Continuum of the Root-RacesWithin the authentic framework of The Secret Doctrine, the Aryans are indeed understood to have emerged from Atlantean remnants.
This is because, in strict Theosophical nomenclature, the term "Aryan" designates the Fifth Root-Race — which encompasses the entirety of contemporary humanity in its current evolutionary stage.
They are descendants because no human Root-Race disappears abruptly or in its entirety.Cosmic evolution operates without rigid, arbitrary boundaries—much like the seamless transitions between the colors of a rainbow.
Instead, history unfolds through vast transitional periods where epochs overlap. Consequently, Theosophical anthropology posits that heavily decline-phase descendants of the late Lemurian lineages still coexist alongside modern populations.
The Cyclops (Le Cyclope), 1914. Oil on canvas by the French Symbolist painter Odilon Redon (1840–1916). Currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum (Otterlo, Netherlands).
Within a Theosophical framework, this artwork evokes the transitional phase of the Third Root-Race (the Lemurians) during their densification into material form, characterized by the active presence of the "Third Eye" — an organ of unconditioned spiritual and intuitive perception before it receded into the modern pineal gland.
As the human vessel evolved from an ethereal, semi-astral form into a dense physical organism, the Third Eye gradually receded, ceasing to function as an external physiological organ and transforming into an internalized, latent neurological center.
The Atlanteans — the Fourth Root-Race — gradually transitioned into the heterogeneous lineages of the Fifth Root-Race.
Far from being a "pure phenotype," the early Atlanteans had previously intermixed with the resilient, late-stage populations of the Third Root-Race (the Lemurians).
It was the Lemurians who possessed a colossal, giant-like stature, tracing an evolutionary path from their primordial, non-physical, and androgynous origins down to the dense, physical, and gender-segregated humanity that defined their closing eras.
If modern alternative history views the Atlanteans as giants, then the Lemurians were true human colossi.
Within Western mythology, the figures that most accurately mirror the Lemurian phenotype are the Homeric Cyclopes, just as the warring Titans and Olympian gods of Greek lore serve as allegorical echoes of the late Atlanteans.
In the volume on Anthropogenesis, Blavatsky explicitly defines this evolutionary lineage, referring to the Atlanteans as the: "...immediate predecessors of our Fifth humanity (the Aryan)..."
(Blavatsky, Anthropogenesis, Volume II, p. 427)
THE PHENOTYPIC DIVERSITY OF THE ARYANS
The academic and political insistence that the "Aryan" identity belongs exclusively to an Indo-European phenotype —characterized as tall, fair-skinned, blond, and blue-eyed — was entirely a 20th-century geopolitical fantasy.
The academic and political insistence that the "Aryan" identity belongs exclusively to a tall, fair-skinned, blond, and blue-eyed Indo-European phenotype was always a 20th-century geopolitical fantasy.
The Secret Doctrine, despite being selectively cited by the theorists of that insane totalitarian regime, states nothing of the sort.
On the contrary, an exhaustive analysis of the text reveals a highly complex, non-linear anthropological framework, as demonstrated in the specific archival records below:
THE COLORS OF THE ARYANS
On Contemporary Civilizational Stratification:
"Humanity is safely divided into God-inspired men and lower human creatures."
(Note: Here, the Doctrine makes what contemporary analysis views as an unfortunate and archaic assertion, given that within any framework of spiritual creation, all living expressions are inherently animated by the divine source.
Evaluated through comparative esotericism, this passage is best understood as referring to differing degrees of active spiritual evolution and ego-development among populations, rather than biological worth).
"The intellectual difference between the Aryan and other civilized nations and such savages as the South Sea Islanders, is inexplicable on any other grounds."
"No amount of culture, nor generations of training amid civilization, could raise such human specimens as the Bushmen, the Veddahs of Ceylon, and some African tribes, to the same intellectual level as the Aryans [Indo-Europeans], the Semites, and the Turanians so called..."
(Note: Crucially, Blavatsky here indicates that both Semites and Turanians are fundamentally part of the same broad 'Aryan' evolutionary epoch, fracturing any narrow Eurocentric definitions, despite the nineteenth-century Eurocentric phrasing).
(Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol. II: Anthropogenesis, 1888, p. 421 / Modern Translations, p. 439)
On the Phenotypic Variations of the Atlantean Remnants:
"The Yellow Race are the ancestors of those whom Ethnology now classes as the Turanians, the Mongols, the Chinese and other ancient nations; and the land where they sought refuge was Central Asia...
More or less two-thirds of a million years have passed since then. The yellow-faced giants of the post-Atlantean period had ample time to branch off and produce the most heterogeneous and diverse types..."
"The Aryans [Indo-Europeans] are descendants of the Yellow Adam... the [Aryan] Semites—and the Jews among them—are the progeny of the Red Adam."
(Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol. II: Anthropogenesis, 1888, p. 425 / Modern Translations, p. 443)
Modern readers must not be misled by the historical term "Atlanteans" into assuming it applied to a single, monolithic race or a single nation. To do so would be as historically inaccurate as treating the modern term "Asians" as a single phenotype.
The Atlanteans comprised vast populations of highly varied anthropological types. They represented diverse "humanities" and a nearly countless number of distinct sub-races and independent nations:
"There were brown, red, yellow, white, and black Atlanteans; giants and dwarfs..."
(Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol. II: Anthropogenesis, 1888, p. 433, footnote 229)
(Editorial Note: The National Socialist ideologues evidently failed to read these clarifying, illuminating footnotes. As history demonstrates, they were deeply superficial, selective, and lazy readers who warped esoteric philosophy to manufacture a weapon of state terror).
THE TRUE SECRET OF THE ARYANS
In light of these foundational texts, it becomes indisputable that Nazi Aryanism was constructed upon a profoundly superficial— and deliberately distorted — misreading of esoteric anthropology, weaponized to serve a genocidal ideology of white supremacy.
Therefore, the great historical secret of the Aryans is that they do not constitute a specific 'white' biological race.
The semantics of the word alter radically depending on the epoch and the culture employing it, having shifted over millennia to mean everything from "foreigner" and "invader" to "barbarian" and "noble."
The Aryans — esoterically defined as the Fifth Root-Race — actually comprise the entirety of global, present-day humanity.
This current epoch has held dominance over the planet for approximately one million years — a brief, almost insignificant span of time compared to the immense esoteric eras attributed to the preceding evolutionary stages: the First Root-Race (the Shadows), the Second (the Boneless), the Third (the Lemurians), and the Fourth (the fully corporeal Atlanteans), the latter of which is said to have reigned on Earth for over 18 million years.
THE COSMIC SECRET OF THE SWASTIKA
In its primordial essence, the swastika symbol belongs to no political faction, nor can it be restricted to a single skin tone. It is inherently neither Hindu, Tibetan, nor European.
Its documented presence across every inhabited quadrant of the globe — stretching back to the most remote archaeological horizons reachable by contemporary science — stands as definitive evidence that while it remains a mysterious cultural heritage, it is an heirloom belonging to the entirety of the human race.
This planetary omnipresence of the swastika, while historically co-opted to support the alternative theories of the Atlantean diaspora, also propelled orthodox historians of classical antiquity and early anthropologists toward a singular, shared pursuit: the desperate need for an academic explanation.
Approaching the phenomenon from the field of analytical psychology, the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) — who possessed a profound lifelong fascination with occult symbology and esotericism—viewed the universal emergence of the swastika as empirical evidence validating his foundational theory of the Collective Unconscious.
However, if the primary source material regarding the symbol is evaluated through The Secret Doctrine—as was the case with the evolutionary lines of the Root-Races—one is led to a conclusion that transcends traditional anthropology: the origin of the swastika is so vast and ancient that it does not even belong exclusively to the terrestrial realm. It is fundamentally cosmic.
A SUÁSTICA NA TERRA
THE EARTHLY SPELLING AND ETYMOLOGY
While its essence may be cosmic, the word itself is firmly terrestrial. In its earliest written records, the term is rendered in Sanskrit using the ancient Devanāgarī script, spelled as follows:
The sacred word 'Swastika' written in historical Devanagari script.
Devanagari is the script of the devas, or gods.
(BLAVATSKY, 1995).
Within Theosophical linguistics, Devanāgarī is traditionally translated as the "script of the devas," or the language of the gods.
Etymologically, the word operates as a solemn vow, a sacred salutation, or the vocalization of an auspicious wish. In everyday ancient usage, it functioned much like the modern Western toast: "To your health!" or "May well-being prevail."
Over millennia, this semantic root expanded into analogous expressions. It was frequently placed at the opening of sacred manuscripts and letters as an initiatory greeting. It stands as a universal emblem of harmony, good fortune, success, and prosperity, sharing a structural esoteric alignment with the liturgical Latin closure Amen—meaning "so be it."
THE PRIMORDIAL TECHNOLOGY OF THE ROOT-RACES
A cinematic depiction of early hominids utilizing a friction drill apparatus to generate primeval fire. This practical mechanical action mirrors the structural dynamics of the vertical Pramantha rotating against the horizontal base of the Araṇi, a primordial technological breakthrough that predated complex civilizational structures. (Stills archive: La Guerre du Feu/Quest for Fire, 1981, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud).
Yet, all these benign linguistic definitions are remarkably modern — even contemporary — when research pushes back into prehistoric epochs that lay far beyond the reach of conventional academic history.
When traced back to its genuine antediluvian roots, the symbol emerges as an Atlantean and Lemurian legacy, encoding what was arguably the greatest technological and evolutionary breakthrough that a conscious species could achieve on this or any other planet.
It represents the very first technical leap — the foundational mastery without which no complex civilization could ever manifest, let alone flourish. In its dense physical interpretation, the swastika is the ultimate cosmic ideogram of FIRE.
THE PRIMORDIAL TECHNOLOGY OF FIRE: THE ARANI AND PRAMANTHA
In its dense material and anthropological interpretation, the swastika is structurally identified with the Araṇi — a sacred instrument utilized since time immemorial within the Vedic tradition to kindle the sacrificial flame. In the Theosophical Glossary, this technology is detailed through its profound dual symbolism:
Various historical ethnographic models of traditional churning and friction spindles (Arani mechanisms) utilized across different regions of India, including Kashmir, Ladakh, Punjab, and Madras. Note especially the structural design from Punjab at the bottom far left, illustrating the cross-axis configuration. (Research Archive / Sofã da Sala Notícias).
"The Araṇi is a swastika—a wooden disk with a central orifice—in which the Brahmins generate sacred fire through rapid friction using the pramantha. The pramantha is the vertical wooden spindle serving as an emblem of the generative masculine principle...
The swastika cross represents the two synchronized pieces of wood that constitute the base of the Araṇi; their four ends are bent at right angles, and through rapid, continuous rotation, they cause Agni—the living Fire—to manifest."
(Blavatsky, Theosophical Glossary, 1892 / Modern Editions, pp. 47 & 666)
ANTHROPOGENESIS AND THE DUALITY OF THE CROSS
Within the esoteric framework of Anthropogenesis, the swastika operates fundamentally as a dynamic, rotating cross.
As a foundational emblem inherited by the early Atlanteans, its structural architecture encodes the profound metaphysical mystery known as the Fall of Spirit into Matter.
This symbol maps the progressive densification of early human vehicles and the definitive evolutionary transition of humanity's mode of reproduction: shifting from primordial asexual and non-physical states into physical, heterosexual generation.
This immense biophysical and metabolic transformation initiated during the evolutionary cycle of the Sixth Sub-Race of the Lemurian epoch — unfolding through successive stages of hermaphroditism and virgin androgyny — and achieved full physiological consolidation with the advent of the Fourth Root-Race (the Atlanteans).
In the universal language of sacred symbolism, the horizontal axis of the cross represents the passive, receptive, and feminine matrix of matter, while the vertical axis—which intersects and penetrates the horizontal plane — represents the active, dynamic, and masculine spark of spirit.
THE UNIVERSAL HAMMER OF COSMIC CREATION
Consequently, the swastika stands at the absolute vanguard of the sacred iconography shared by all ancient civilizations.
In The Secret Doctrine, its meanings are shown to be vast and multi-layered:
"The Swastika is the worker's hammer from the Chaldean Book of Numbers, the 'Hammer'... 'that strikes sparks from the flint' (Space)—sparks that transform into Worlds. It is Thor's hammer...
Mjölnir, the 'Hammer of the Storm'... Truly, its meanings are manifold. In the macrocosmic work, the 'Hammer of Creation' — with its four arms set at right angles — signifies the ceaseless motion and revolution of the invisible Cosmos of Forces.
In the work of the manifested Cosmos and of our Earth, it indicates the rotation of the world axes and their equatorial belts... The symbol is so ancient and sacred that few archaeological excavations fail to reveal traces of it."
(Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol. II: Anthropogenesis, 1888, pp. 99–101 / Modern Translations, pp. 112–115)
THE SWASTIKA IN THE SKY
Se na Antropogênese a Suástica é, sobretudo uma cruz, no Espaço Cósmico, desde o princípio de TUDO, a Suástica é uma hélice.
A hélice em movimento é um circulo como circular e/ou esferoidal e elíptica é a forma básica de todos os corpos celestes bem como o movimento das partículas em torno do núcleo dos átomos. A Doutrina Secreta chama a Suástica hélice de FOHAT.
Mas o Fohat tem outros nomes. O mais sugestivo deles é Torvelinho de Fogo e, também: Fohat é o corcel e o Pensamento, o cavaleiro (BLAVATSKY, 2006 - p 158).
Essa força, que o ocultismo teosófico define como uma entidade semelhante à eletricidade, por meio de seu veloz movimento circular, percorrendo toda a matéria indiferenciada, cria, por aglutinação, a matéria diferenciada.
Fohat é a origem dos Mundos e de todas as criaturas que habitam esses mundos.
A SUÁSTICA NA LUA

The graphic emerged as part of modern internet folklore and viral sci-fi alternative reality investigations. (Digital Archive / Sofã da Sala Notícias).
THE COSMIC HELIX:
FOHAT AND THE "WHIRLWIND OF FIRE"
If, within the structural paradigm of Anthropogenesis, the swastika manifests primarily as a cross, then within the expanse of Cosmic Space—from the primordial dawn of all creation—it operates as a dynamic helix.
A helix in continuous motion generates the geometric framework of a circle. This fundamental rotation governs the macrocosm and microcosm alike, characterizing the spheroidal and elliptical trajectories of all celestial bodies, as well as the orbital movements of subatomic particles around an atomic nucleus. In the esoteric cosmology of The Secret Doctrine, this helical, universal energy is personified as Fohat.
Throughout esoteric literature, Fohat operates under various multi-layered allegories, most evocatively as the "Fiery Whirlwind." Furthermore, it is written that:
"...Fohat is the steed, while Thought is the rider."
(Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol. I, p. 108 / Cosmogenesis, p. 158)
Within Theosophical occultism, this cosmic force is defined as a universal agent akin to primordial cosmic electricity. It traverses undifferentiated cosmic matter through rapid, circular, helical trajectories, generating differentiated physical matter through a profound process of energetic agglutination. Fohat, therefore, stands as the metaphysical origin of formative Worlds and of all conscious expressions that inhabit them.
THE SWASTIKA ON THE MOON:
MODERN MYTHOLOGY AND INTERNET LORE
Tracing the echoes of this cosmic symbol into contemporary pop-culture and digital-age conspiracy theories, an intriguing phenomenon emerged in April 2012. A highly controversial photograph surfaced, allegedly captured by an orbital craft designated as the Cassiopeia probe.
The targeted topography is located on the far side of the Moon—specifically within the Schrödinger crater, situated near the lunar south pole. While conventional space scientists evaluate such anomalies as classic cases of pixelation or optical illusions (pareidolia), alternative researchers and digital subcultures quickly divided into contrasting hypotheses. [1] For one faction of alternative investigators, the presence of the geometric shape was weaponized to fuel the deep-space mythology regarding covert wartime technology. Within this subculture, specialized commentators like Radovan Tomovici—a figure frequently cited in European fringe-theory forums—asserted a connection to classified historical aerospace projects:
"It has been part of alternative historical research for decades that, during World War II, specific factions ran advanced tactical programs supervised by figures such as Hans Kammler, aimed at mastering orbital dynamics. It appears that Kammler—who, along with his scientific team, vanished inexplicably shortly before the cessation of hostilities — clandestinely achieved an unprecedented breakthrough." [1]
Conversely, an independent faction of exopolitical researchers rejected any terrestrial or historical German origin, evaluating the lunar anomaly as an ancient, non-human marker.
Within this framework, ufological commentators like Martin Krauss argued that the structure operates as an ancient exopolitical beacon left by advanced cosmic lineages — such as hypothetical intelligences from the Alpha Centauri system — who allegedly seeded early biological baselines on Earth millions of years ago, leaving the lunar emblem as an indelible civilizational signpost for future humanity to decipher.
(Historical Framework Note: This specific lunar controversy and its associated testimonies entered global internet lore on April 18, 2012, originally manifesting as part of an elaborate, viral alternative reality campaign linked to the launch of the cult science-fiction feature film Iron Sky, which explored the satirical mythos of deep-space enclaves). [1, 2]
FOHAT AS THE OPERATIVE LOGOS
Computer-generated simulation illustrating the radial and axial views of a highly active, outgassing comet nucleus. This geometric rotational model was utilized by Carl Sagan to demonstrate how volatile material jets can form a cosmic swastika structure in the night sky, taking the dynamic behavior of Comet Encke as a primary baseline. (Visual Archive / Comet, 1985).
Within this cosmological framework, the swastika manifests as the dynamic, creative agent of the primordial Word — the very Vāc or Divine Voice that resonates through sacred traditions and is echoed in the biblical decree: "Let there be light."
Fohat operates essentially as the Word in continuous, structured action:
"[Fohat]... is that occult, electric, and vital power which, under the Will of the Creative Logos, unites and relates all forms... a force that gathers elemental atoms and causes them to agglutinate and combine with one another..."
(Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol. I: Cosmogenesis, 1888, p. 119 / Modern Editions, p. 159)
THE ASTRONOMICAL HYPOTHESIS AND THE COMETARY MARKER
Intriguingly, this esoteric visualization of the swastika as a dynamic celestial helix aligns in a striking way with modern planetary science.
The possibility that the universal, overnight adoption of the symbol across disconnected ancient cultures stemmed from empirical observations of the night sky was formally articulated by the prominent American astronomer and astrophysicist Carl Sagan (1934–1996).
Intrigued by the inescapable planetary distribution of the motif among widely diverse peoples across different eras and geographies, Sagan argued that the explanation could not be found in structural cultural borrowing alone, but rather in a shared, planet-wide visual experience.
This common experience stemmed from continuous sky-watching.
Sagan proposed that a highly active, rapidly rotating comet approached close enough to Earth for its outgassing jets of volatile materials to be violently bent by its own rotational force. To observers on Earth, this produced a brilliant, spinning helix of fire that dominated the heavens worldwide.
As a modern astronomical example of how such a geometric phenomenon manifests to a terrestrial observer under specific axial orientations, Sagan explicitly cited the behavioral dynamics and historical outgassing structures of Comet Encke.
