The Heroic Age in China
2750 BC ±
The Yellow Emperor
Huang Ti, the Yellow Emperor
Meanwhile, in the land of the Far East rose the Yellow Emperor and the Classical Age of China. The Yellow Emperor was the most famous among a group of legendary heroes including Fu Xi, Nu Wa, Shen Nung, Yao, Shun and Yu, who helped transform and unify a fractured Chinese society and bring about a civilization far in advance of the rest of the world.
The Yellow Emperor, Huang Ti, is considered the greatest statesman in Chinese history, the first to create governmental institutions. Magnetic compasses, a codified method of writing and coined money were also instituted during his reign. He is also known as the God of Architecture (later Chinese tended to assign a level of divinity to their sages), the patron of alchemy and some legends have named him as the originator of the principles of Taoism. The Taoist teachings and thousands of years of early Chinese history were transmitted orally. In fact the earliest Taoist work, the Tao Te Chi was written by Lao Tzu only much later in 500 BC.
The Yellow Emperor Huang Ti also made a lasting mark in history with the creation of the Nei Ching, or The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, composed in collaboration with his physician Qibo and interviews with many healers. However, this compilation may have been an oral tradition as modern historiographers generally consider it to have been compiled from ancient sources by a scholar living between the Zhou and Han dynasties, more than 2,000 years later. His interest in natural health and preventing and treating diseases, according to historical sources, meant he lived to the age of 100, and attained immortality after his physical death. In legend, his wife Léi Zi taught the Chinese how to raise silkworms and weave their silk into cloth and his historian Cāng Jié created the first Chinese characters. Shen Nung was the sage who catagorized what all the different healing herbs and roots are. His work is part of the foundation of Classical Chinese medicine.
Huang Ti's conception was supposed to have been signaled by a thunderclap on a clear day by the Heavens. Legend says that Huang Ti became the leader of his tribe which bore the totem of a bear. His tribe went to war with a neighboring Miao tribe bearing the totem of a bull, headed by Yandi. Huang Ti, through his superior military and leadership skills won the war and subdued the Miao. The two tribes united and became one giving birth to the earliest Chinese civilization that we know.
In one of his later embodiments, Huang Ti is said to have taught Confucius. In his last embodiment, it was his fervent desire to show his students the light that burns within. This he was able to accomplish as the sacred spiritual flame of the heart, known in the ancient mystery teachings as the threefold flame, became visible to his students The threefold flame is anchored in the secret chamber of the heart and is the divine pulsation of the unfed flame. Its threefold nature is the light of the Supreme Being's love, wisdom and power vouchsafed to the individual spirit sparks; the sons and daughters of God. In all his embodiments the Yellow Emperor held the yellow flame of illumination for China. He ascended around 500 BC and is now called Lord Lanto. He serves as the hierarch of the etheric Royal Teton Retreat of the Brotherhood located in the Grand Teton Mountains.
Below is a message from him given in the 1950's to a student.
Lord Lanto From The Bridge to Freedom Journal 1953
The coming of the Laggards and the Transfer of the Flame of God from Lemuria to the Tetons
It is my privilege and my honor to bring to you, beloved guests of God, the love and the welcome from the Brotherhood of the Rocky Mountains, whom I serve and whom I represent, to the consciousness of those of you who can accept our presence, our friendship and the mutual benefit of the association between the free and those temporarily bound by form and karma. There is so much I would say to you, for we prepare well for the opportunity afforded us to enter into communication with our friends of the ages, in order that, in the time allotted us by the Cosmic Law, we may give the greatest benefit and blessing, as well as impetus, to your own individual terrestrial evolution.
It seems but yesterday that you, dear friends, were among the heart spirits who enjoyed the freedom and beauty of the natural spiritual evolution which had its height on the continent of Lemuria, where I was privileged to worship at the Flame of God, in love and freedom. You, too, were fully conscious and cognizant of the power of the electronic light which formed your own lifestreams, and from that light, you formed with ease the manifest expression of every desire and every requirement that your bodies and individual service required, and that of your soul's evolution as well.
Within the temples in that sweet and gentle cycle, precipitation was the order of the day, and there was no lifestream who labored "by the sweat of the brow." This gave to us such freedom in the development of our own God plan, because all of the energies that are now spent in the sustenance of the physical body, were then expended toward the weaving of the tapestry of the individual life, pre-ordained to serve on this sweet earth to fulfill its part in the great divine plan, which could not be filled by any other individual.
It was at this time that the Cosmic Law, in mercy, offered the earth to become host to the planetary orphans who had not sufficiently evolved their own light to earn a habitat upon their own natural planet of evolution. Those of us who were the guardian spirits in the temples, and those of you who were the guardian spirits of the young earth children, were told in advance of the coming of the souls who formed the laggards of the other planets of the system, in order that the strength and vitality of our own spiritual energy might be intensified, to withstand the pressure which the consciousness of those lifestreams would bring.
We then entered a period of one hundred years of deep meditation, contemplation, invocation and separate and collective application, each of us fully cognizant of our responsibility to build a bulwark strong enough to withstand this influx and protect the race which we had come to serve.
The mass of the earth children were unconscious of the coming in wave of human emotion and lived on in their Eden of harmony and peace, as in wisdom, our own lords and guardians wished us to refrain from disturbing their peace unnecessarily, and in those long years while the earth children enjoyed the freedom of that exquisite, semi-tropical paradise, only a few were aware of the impending incoming surge.
Finally, there came a day when all the head priests of the temples were called to a conference, and I went with the others. We were told of the imminent coming of these laggard souls. Shortly after their arrival, there began the long story of the contamination of the innocents, and the weight of the creation spewed forth from the thought and feeling bodies of these visiting souls ensnared even the guardian spirits, and only a few among us retained that consciousness which was our eternal birthright.
It was then that the Cosmic Law, in mercy, sent forth a fiat that our lovely Lemuria should rest awhile beneath the waves. Those among us who could be entrusted with the power required to sustain the flame which had burned upon our altars from the beginning of recorded time and long before that, were each instructed to take a part of the heart center of this flame from the temples, and move it to appointed places upon the landed surface of this earth, which would withstand the force of the cataclysm. So I came into this area [Grand Teton Range, Rocky Mountains, USA].
Within this great Teton Range is the initial pulsation for the evolution of the lifestreams upon this planet. When first the earth became a habitable home, the Law required that the great Manu descend into the physical appearance world, carrying with him the magnetic Rod of Power, which would be the cohesive force holding the souls destined to incarnate and evolve into mastery within the earth, on the earth, and in its aura.
When a planet becomes ready for habitation, this mystic pole is drawn by one of the guardians of the race, for, without it, the souls would have no lasting affinity for the theater of their evolution. As that directed ray was precipitated from the hearts of the Father and Mother of the system, it became the pathway over which the first rhythmic release of mankind's spirits walked into the world, and took form, together with the guardian spirits and the angelic host, and those other beings who, through the centuries, have sustained the soul light for the people. That is why the Brotherhood of the Rocky Mountains represent the outgoing force by which the light and consciousness of the kingdom are carried into the world, and why the members of the Brotherhood at Luxor in Egypt represent the raising or returning force by which the soul comes back into the heart of God - thus is formed the balance of the two activities of the two poles - radiation and cohesion.
Into the heart of the Rocky Mountains comes every lifestream who has chosen to carry the light into the world, if not in physical garments, through the inner bodies, and into the heart of Luxor passes every lifestream who has completed the cycle of his own evolution, and has won the right to rise, on the ascending flame, into the heart of God. No matter on what physical point on the earth's surface the ascension is attained, the soul must pass through these currents at Luxor.
Due to the tremendous acceleration of spiritual light, which is felt now through the hearts of men, the mighty temples at the Teton are being increased in size. The entire center of their whole group is being prepared to become host to the ever-increasing spiritually-awakened souls, who wish to dedicate and consecrate their energy to carrying the light and the gifts of God into the consciousness of the outer selves of the human race. It is a magnificent accomplishment, on the part of the brothers and sisters of the Brotherhood, in creating these exquisite temples and halls of mercy, and I am sure you have felt, within yourselves, the pulsation of that mighty activity.
Within the ethers over the Grand Teton stands the Silent Watcher of the Earth, through whose body is directed that ray, of which I have spoken, which holds the evolution of the earth within his sphere of influence and the orbit of his body. From his body, this Silent Watcher has issued forth seven great rays, like unto the Elohim, who have become the seven spirits of that mountain, each one dressed in one of the colors of the spectrum, holding the power which is the impetus to externalize God's will in form.
People have not thought deeply enough about the tremendous consciousness and power of the spirit of a mountain, which, through its own inner spirit, reverses the law of gravity and draws out of the very body of the earth the substance of rock and earth and tree, and holds it against the natural pull which would return it to the lower atmosphere of earth. These beings are living, breathing foci, into which mankind may blend his own energy and find it lifted up by the upsurging stream of magnetic power sustained by the mighty spirit of the mountain.
Just as your own spinal column renders the same service to your body and holds it erect so that the greater currents from the Sun may intensify your soul light, so do those great spirits of the mountain hold erect the spinal column of the earth and the seeker after light and truth finds the impetus of that upward surge of life force enfolding their own inner bodies, raising them towards union with their own Source. I ask you to bless the spirits of this mountain, consciously, for their strength and their fidelity, and for the magnificence of their service as conductors of those currents of force, hope and aspiration, which have enabled the spiritual selves of men to live through the centuries, when the effluvia of man's creation has been so great.
Beloved friends, will you accept my love? It is blessed as it comes out to you from my heart. Many of you were in China when the beloved Kwan Yin walked and talked with our people there, when China was a land where beauty was worshipped, and where a life span would be dedicated to the carving of a single ivory figure, or the painting of a single scene. China again shall stand revealed in all her beauty, and the degradation and the poverty and the famine and the human creation that has turned her green fields into parched clay, and her people into slaves of the appetites, lusts and passions of the outer self, shall be no more. Her people shall live again in the dignity and beauty of the race which has had no parallel on the earth, even to the present day.
Beloved friends, I trust that we shall meet again in the not too-far-distant future and that as these great audience chambers are completed prior to the January council, we shall have some happy times.
Now that the Lords of Karma have so many petitioners among the sons and daughters of men, it is no longer possible to give the proper homage, courtesy and hospitality to the ever-increasing brothers and sisters within a retreat that, up to this hour, was more than large enough to take care of the few who have lived but to serve their fellowmen.
My blessing now to each one of you. You all need precipitation - on Lemuria you knew and practiced it, and you may know it again on this earth. You may hold me responsible for whatever assistance I can give you in bringing to your remembrance the ease and the natural harmony that follows such precipitation, both for your own benefit and that of your fellowman.
As a civilization was moved forward with the help of gifted rulers in Ancient China, the Brotherhood sent another spark of spiritual fire to the Heroes of Ancient Persia.
