Race differences

QUESTION: Masters, please tell us about the five races of humans: Aryans, Nordics, Orientals, African and North Americans. What have they accomplished individually and collectively by their spiritual advancement to undo the divisions created by all the religions collectively and individually? ~Neelu, UK

ANSWER: According to your scientific experts there is only one race on your planet: homo sapiens sapiens. Humans have this need either to feel a part of a group or to be distinguished from a group. All souls in human bodies have the same essence and the same purpose to learn about their essence and to gather wisdom for future ventures.

You may differentiate among groups of people based upon genetic divergences that create various facial features and skin tones. Further distinctions arise through cultural influences of philosophy, religious ideas, and societal requirements.

You are asking us to do the impossible: divide the population by non-existent differences that are actually propensities and not mandatory classifications reflecting separations or distinctions from Asia to Africa to Europe or America. It is also impossible to say that all people with the same genetic markers (causing facial and skin variations) ascribe to a similar philosophy or religion, or think or act in the same way.

There is no single or easily divisible group consciousness within these seemingly recognizable distinctions. A vocal minority popping up in one of these groups and drawing attention to their platform might seem like “aliens” compared with the rest of the same group, because all those who share the same distinguishable characteristics will never agree on one manner of doing things.

We ask you to think about this: did Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, or Adolph Hitler do what they did because they were part of a recognized “race”? Or were they souls who chose to be born in a particular part of the world and at a time that allowed them to meet the challenges they sought?
