THE EVOLUTION OF RELIGION 137 



who remodelled the Buddhist religion after a schism which, it 

 appears to me, must have been the outcome of what undoubt- 

 edly was the result of the Aryan belief of honour to the victor, 

 conqueror or ruler, and which belief gave rise to the earliest 

 form of reverence to hereditary superiority, which undoubtedly 

 was the basis of the formation of caste. The logical deduc- 

 tion (by inverse logic) is that this belief in caste and heredity 

 created an early form of aristocracy, as the outcome of such a 

 form of belief which is only the logical result that one would 

 expect to be produced out of the trials of the Glacial Period 

 acting upon a patriarchal community whose mind was but 

 dawning, and which in time degenerating into autocracy pro- 

 duced revolution both social and religious. This or some such 

 revolution of prehistoric society is the only possible way to 

 account for the outcome of the subsequent Buddhist religious 

 teachings which indicate (to the mind that is capable of read- 

 ing between the lines) what must have been at work from 

 twenty to three thousand years before the time of Christ. 



It would take twenty-five thousand years to bring about such 

 a revolution in human beliefs. Some such collection of 

 events was probably the cause of the Darian, Hyksos, Mosaic 

 and Aryan emigrations. For it appears to me that the teach- 

 ings of Buddhism after the date of one thousand years before 

 Christ all point to the fact that some such form of aristocratic 

 belief and government existed amongst the early Aryan races, 

 and was carried to such extremes of patrician haughtiness and 

 arrogance that about 2000 or 3000 B.C. it grew to stink in the 

 nostrils of the Buddhists and Brahmins amongst the masses of 

 the people and so gave rise to a series of rebellions and revolu- 

 tions in prehistoric times, and that these religious feuds were 

 the means of spreading the Aryan belief in one God and His 

 Trinity throughout ancient civilisation. It is probable 

 that this early Buddha was synonymous with Seth or his son 

 Enos, who, Genesis states, " called on the name of the Lord." 



It appears most probable that the Mosaic people were an 

 Aryan emigration who migrated from India into Babylon and 

 Assyria and Persia until, their religious beliefs becoming 

 unpopular, they were expelled from Persia into Palestine, as 

 their Hyksos kinsmen were previously driven from Egypt into 

 Jerusalem some thousand years earlier. It is curious fact 

 that the belief in one God and His Trinity did not become a
