Singlangton

• one of 24 counselors
• teacher of yellow race

45:4.86. Singlang­ton, the first of the yel­low men to teach and lead his peo­ple in the wor­ship of “One Truth” in­stead of many. Thou­sands of years ago the yel­low man knew of the one God.

• teacher of yellow race

64:6.15They trav­eled far from the in­flu­ences of the spir­i­tual head­quar­ters of the world and drifted into great dark­ness fol­low­ing the Cali­gas­tia apos­tasy; but there oc­curred one bril­liant age among this peo­ple when Singlang­ton, about one hun­dred thou­sand years ago, as­sumed the lead­er­ship of these tribes and pro­claimed the wor­ship of the “One Truth.”

• Chinese spiritual leader 100,000 years ago

79:6.103. Spir­i­tual. Dur­ing the age of And­ite mi­gra­tions the Chi­nese were among the more spir­i­tual peo­ples of earth. Long ad­her­ence to the wor­ship of the One Truth pro­claimed by Singlang­ton kept them ahead of most of the other races. The stim­u­lus of a pro­gres­sive and ad­vanced re­li­gion is of­ten a de­ci­sive fac­tor in cul­tural de­vel­op­ment; as In­dia lan­guished, so China forged ahead un­der the in­vig­o­rat­ing stim­u­lus of a re­li­gion in which truth was en­shrined as the su­preme De­ity.

• teachings persisted in Taoist Shang-ti concept

79:8.4The be­lief in, and wor­ship of, the “One Truth” as taught by Singlang­ton never en­tirely died out; but as time passed, the search for new and higher truth be­came over­shad­owed by a grow­ing ten­dency to ven­er­ate that which was al­ready es­tab­lished. Slowly the ge­nius of the yel­low race be­came di­verted from the pur­suit of the un­known to the preser­va­tion of the known. And this is the rea­son for the stag­na­tion of what had been the world’s most rapidly pro­gress­ing civ­i­liza­tion.

• teachings persisted in Taoist Shang-ti concept

94:5.31. The lin­ger­ing teach­ings of Singlang­ton, which per­sisted in the con­cept of Shang-ti, the God of Heaven. In the times of Singlang­ton the Chi­nese peo­ple be­came vir­tu­ally mono­the­is­tic; they con­cen­trated their wor­ship on the One Truth, later known as the Spirit of Heaven, the uni­verse ruler. And the yel­low race never fully lost this early con­cept of De­ity, al­though in sub­se­quent cen­turies many sub­or­di­nate gods and spir­its in­sid­i­ously crept into their re­li­gion.
