The Mistery of Belicena Villca sunlight , which sustained the life and was perceived with the senses of the body : and this devotion shows , once again , the metaphysical materialism that the dark Atlanteans upheld . According to them , as the Soul evolved and rose towards the God Creator " its light increased ", that is , it increased its ability to receive and give light , to finally become pure light : naturally that light was a thing created by God , that is , a finite thing , the limit of the perfection of the Soul , something that could not be surpassed without contradicting God ' s Plans , without falling in the most abominable heresy . The white Atlanteans , on the contrary , claimed that in the Origin , beyond the stars , there was an Uncreated Light that only could be seen by the Spirit : that infinite light was imperceptible to the Soul . However , although invisible , in front of her the Soul felt as if before the most impenetrable blackness , an infinite abyss , and was plunged in an uncontrollable terror : and that was because the Uncreated Light of the Spirit transmitted the Soul the intuition of eternal death in which , like all created things , it would end its existence at the end of a super " Great Year " of manifestation of the Creator God , a " Mahamanvantara ".
So that the " whiteness " of the Fraternity to which the brown Atlanteans belonged did not come from the color of the skin of its members but from the " Light " of their Souls : the White Fraternity was not racial but religious . Their ranks were nurtured only by Initiated Priests , who always occupied a " just place " according to their devotion and obedience to the Gods . The blood of the living had for them a relative value : if their purity kept the native ally people united , then it would have to be conserved , but if the protection of the Cult required mixing with another people , it could be degraded without problems . The Cult would be the axis of the existence of the native people and everything would be subordinate to it in importance ; everything , in the end , had to be sacrificed for the Cult : first of all the Pure Blood of the allied peoples to the white Atlanteans . It was part of the mission , an obligation of the Cultural Pact : the Pure Blood shed made the Gods happy and They claimed their offering . That is why the Initiated Priests had to to be Pure Blood Sacrificers , they had to exterminate the Wise Warriors or destroy their genetic heritage , they had to neutralize the Blood Pact .
So far I have described the main characteristics of the two Covenants . I could not avoid using obscure or unusual concepts but you will have to understand , dear Dr ., that I do not have the time to enter in more details . However , before continuing with the story of my people and my family , I will comment on the consequences that the alliances with Atlanteans brought the native peoples .
If the priestly castes formed by the dark Atlanteans excelled in something in History , apart from their fanaticism and cruelty , it was in the art of deceit . They made , literally , any sacrifice if it contributed to the preservation of the Cult : the fulfillment of the mission , that High Purpose that satisfied the Will of the Gods , justified all the means employed and they became masters of deception . And then it should not be surprising that many sometimes pretended to be Kings , or hide behind Kings and Nobles , if that favored their plans ; but this cannot confuse anyone : Kings , Nobles or Lords , if their acts were aimed at maintaining a Cult , if they professed devout submission to the Gods of Matter , if they shed the Pure Blood or sought degrade it , if they persecuted the Sages or affirmed the heresy of Wisdom , undoubtedly they were priests in disguise , although their functions appeared as opposite . The Principle for establishing the affiliation of a people allied to the Atlanteans consists of the opposition between the Cult and the Wisdom : the maintenance of a Cult to the Powers of Matter , to Gods who stand above man and approve of his miserable earthly existence , Gods Creators or Determiners of the Destiny of man , places automatically their cultists within the framework of the Cultural Pact , whether or not there are Priests in sight .
Oppositely , the Gods of the white Atlanteans required neither Cult nor Priests : they spoke directly in the Pure Blood of the Warriors , and these , precisely by listening to their Voices , became Wise . They had not come to conform man in his despicable condition of slave on Earth but to incite the
