Book excerpt: It is around the plateau of the Pamirs that the cradle of the true Race must be located: but the cradle of initiated humanity only; of those who have for the first time tasted of the fruit of knowledge, and these are in Tibet, Mongolia, Tartary, China and India, where also the souls of their pious and initiated brethren transmigrate, and re-become “sons of God.” Druses are the descendants of mystics of all nations who, in the face of cruel and unrelenting persecution by the orthodox Christian Church and Orthodox Islamism, have found refuge in the fastnesses of Syria and Mount Lebanon. They are the Sikhs of Asia Minor, related to the followers of Guru Nanak and that fraternity of Tibetan Lamaists, known as the Brotherhood of Khelang. They are repetitions of those of the Tibetan Taley-Lama, whose appellation “Path to the Ocean,” means, Path or “Way to the Ocean of Light” or Divine Wisdom. Both Lamas and Druses share the same mystical statistics. Lord Buddha ennobled even the least philosophical of the dissenting sects of his religion, the Lamaism of the nomadic Kalmucks.
