## CHAPTER I - ORIGINS OF THE PRE-OLYMPIC FAMILY

On February 25, 1910, the Ego Cedaior departed from Paris, France, an initiate in the Occult Sciences since the most tender age in this present life. Leaving completely his bonds of kinship, he established himself in Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, with his wife and a son, who at that date was nine years old.

Until the month of June 1914, he occupied himself only in obtaining a position, teaching as a music professor. His wife helped him with tender abnegation. They managed to achieve material tranquility.

On June 4, 1914, a second son was born in this home of modest condition, but of elevated intellectual, moral and artistic ideals. The parents had been warned that this child was the reincarnation of a girl who had died nine months before in a Buenos Aires family, at the age of 20 years.

Certain particularities, occurred both to the mother and to the father of the new family of the child, made the father Cedaior accept as possible such an event, but without being able to account for the why.

In the midst of such conjectures, on the 14th of the same month of June, a Master appeared to Cedaior, who revealed to him that the newborn child was an Ego in service of the F.B. (White Fraternity), which was being entrusted to them as a sacred deposit, of which they would be responsible before the F.B.

The Masters of Wisdom knew how many moral, intellectual and religious qualities were united between Allopair and Cedaior; therefore they had sent Arren-Chel to take a vehicle prepared by Them. The same Master added that Arren-Chel had lived in India some two hundred years before, becoming high priest of a temple of Allahabad and that, having to act in the Sixth Sub-Race and in the preparation of the work concerning the coming of the Instructor, had reincarnated... much before the due time, dwelling twenty years in the body of Miss D... to liquidate karmic residues, all who enter the new Sub-Race having to be pure.

After having recommended, once again, Arren-Chel to the loving care of the parents, the Master disappeared.

Many things the Master had said, among others, that Europe was going to find itself within a few days in terrible situation, from which the entire World would emerge transformed. Cedaior not having to take part in this tragedy, should not worry, but prepare for another mission of much greater importance.

On August 2, 1914, the news arrived in America that Germany declared war on France. A bitter and ironic smile marked the lips of Cedaior... The Master appeared, and said:

Cedaior not having to take part in this tragedy, should not worry, but prepare for another mission of much greater importance.

On August 2, 1914, the news arrived in America that Germany declared war on France. A bitter and ironic smile marked the lips of Cedaior... The Master appeared, and said:

"Yes, they will call you, but you will not go. Your duty is not there, but here. You are no longer anything for the old world. Remember only your mission and prepare yourself."

And he disappeared.

Until the month of October 1915, Cedaior endured terrible trials and doubts, between the desire to fulfill his duties as a patriot and those of husband and father. Each day approached the moment in which he would be called to arms. However, the savage and terrible war was reaping millions of men... The karmic liquidation was developing grandiose and inexorable, the Law operated... Even in the heavens the souls fought...

Cedaior, according to what the Master had assured him, although called, did not go to fight, being declared exempt from all service. Also with him the Law operated...

Then, informed of the power and wisdom of the Master, he threw himself at his feet, pronouncing the unbreakable Vow that bound him to the White Fraternity. After this he withdrew into long concentrations, learning the Law with his Master, preparing himself for the service of Evolution.

During this voluntary retreat from the world, remaining entire hours attentive to the voices of the Masters, Cedaior coordinated the Laws of Evolution of Egos and of the Universe, took knowledge of why rebirths occur and of the means to exhaust them through service and Sacrifice.

He saw the Karmic Laws operating, building and destroying Worlds, Races, Civilizations, Nations; the Egos being born time after time in successive worlds, races, nations, and transported thousands of leagues to operate from one continent to another.

He learned the Laws of Evolution of Continents, interplanetary influences, the Laws of Reincarnation and of Reproduction in the different Kingdoms of Nature.

He became aware of this truth: that knowing all this was like receiving an order to act in favor of It. He became aware that this awakening of his soul, of his Ego, was this, the second... birth and the first great initiation, which is not granted in our books, but in the great Book of Nature...

## Commentary

This chapter establishes the biographical and spiritual foundation for Cedaior's mission as messenger of the Laws of Vayu. The narrative follows a classical initiation pattern:

**The Call** - Cedaior receives his mission from a Master of the White Fraternity, learning that his role is not earthly warfare but spiritual preparation for the Sixth Sub-Race.

**The Test** - He faces the conflict between patriotic duty and spiritual calling, ultimately being exempted from military service through karmic law.

**The Initiation** - Through concentrated study with his Master, he learns the cosmic laws governing reincarnation, evolution, and the preparation for humanity's next stage.

Key esoteric elements include:

- **Arren-Chel**: The reincarnated Indian high priest, representing advanced souls preparing to incarnate in the new Sub-Race - **The White Fraternity (F.B.)**: The spiritual hierarchy guiding human evolution - **Karmic Liquidation**: The concept that World War I was a necessary clearing of humanity's accumulated negative karma - **The Second Birth**: Spiritual initiation that awakens direct knowledge of cosmic law

The dating (1910-1915) places this revelation during the critical period preceding World War I, which Theosophical and occult movements often viewed as a karmic cleansing preparing for a new age of spiritual development. The emphasis on South America as the location for this new spiritual work aligns with prophecies about the Western Hemisphere being the cradle of the coming sixth root race.
