1D’après l’occultisme, chaque continent développe, comme dans le monde chaque planète, ses minéraux, ses végétaux et ses animaux, le tout couronné par une race humaine particulière. L’évolution d’un continent comprend donc quatre grandes périodes : 1° Assise et développement du règne minéral; 2° Développement du règne végétal ; 11° Développement du règne animal ; 4° Développement et perfectionnement d’une race humaine. Chacune de ces périodes se subdivise à son tour en une foule de périodes secondaires. Ainsi chaque race humaine comprend trois ou sept sous-races (suivant les écoles). Chacune d’elles a son évolution spéciale. Avec les éléments que nous possédons maintenant nous pouvons dresser le tableau de l’évolution des continents. Cette question a été particulièrement abordée par Fabre d'Olivet, qui donna dès 1825 certaines idées très curieuses à ce sujet ’. Les traditions de tous les peuples sur presque tous les points du globe sont unanimes pour affirmer que dans une époque très éloignée, une masse énorme de la Terre s’est 1.

1According to occultism, each continent develops, as within the world each planet does, its minerals, its plants, and its animals, the whole crowned by a particular human race. The evolution of a continent thus comprises four great periods: 1° The laying and development of the mineral kingdom; 2° The development of the vegetable kingdom; 11° The development of the animal kingdom; 4° The development and perfecting of a human race. Each of these periods is in turn subdivided into a host of secondary periods. Thus each human race comprises three or seven sub-races (according to the schools). Each of them has its own special evolution. With the elements we now possess, we can draw up the table of the evolution of the continents. This question was particularly taken up by Fabre d'Olivet, who gave, as early as 1825, certain most curious ideas on this subject. The traditions of nearly every people, in almost every part of the globe, are unanimous in affirming that, at a very distant epoch, an enormous mass of the Earth 1. Fabre d'Olivet, Histoire philosophique du genre humain 11 collapsed into the waters, while, on the other hand, new continents were being born.
