THE RAINBOW SWASTIKA - Scattered Seed Ministries

The Nazi sacred symbols and concepts - the swastika or "gamma cross", the eagle, the
red/black/white color scheme, and ancient Nordic runes (one of which became the insignia of
the SS ) - were all adopted from occult traditions going back centuries, shared by Brahmins,
Scottish Masons, Rosicrucians, Manichaeans and others. (Angeberts give detailed histories,
p.194-200) The Nazi motto, "One Reich, One Folk, One Fuehrer", reflected the standard 3fold
power circles of the occult. (See a good example in Bailey's _Discipleship in the New
Age_ II, p.165, where the Great Invocation is to be explained on three distinct levels.) The
Reich was the psychic adepts of the Nazi Party, which would build the bridge between the
Folk (the masses which unite into a cosmic Entity greater than its parts) and the Fuehrer (the
initiates in the elite leadership which unite with Hitler, the divine incarnation). The outer
fringe, the Folk, are taught what they can handle: blind obedience, group service, a new
history and identity. The Party elite such as the SS are taught something different: psychic
knowledge, tapping into the "Vril Force", self-denial, brotherhood mission, medieval lore,
fearlessness of death. The innermost circle was privy to the hard-core Gnostic teaching on the
Grail, immortality and godhood. Many neo-Nazi groups continue to pursue these topics with
devotion. But under it all was the invisible presence of "Unknown Superiors" (Angeberts,
p.178, quoting Rudolf Olden, _Hitler the Pawn_, written 1936. Rauschning used the same
term - p.233) who taught Hitler himself and who were assumed by his associates to endow
him with his uncanny hypnotic power.
Concerning Hitler's relationship with these Unknowns, there is not much known besides his
reference to a guiding voice of "Providence". However, we do have a vivid account related by
an unnamed associate of Hitler to Rauschning (both were not sure what to make of it), in
which Hitler wakes up in the middle of the night in total panic at some unseen visitation:
"Hitler was standing there in his bedroom, stumbling about, looking around him with a
distraught look. He was muttering: 'It's him! It's him! He's here!' His lips had turned blue. He
was dripping with sweat. Suddenly he uttered some numbers which made no sense, then some
words, then bits of sentences. It was frightening. He used terms which were strung together in
the strangest way and which were absolutely weird. Then, he again became silent, although
his lips continued to move. He was given a massage and something to drink. Then all of a
sudden, he screamed: 'There! Over there! In the corner! Who is it?' He was jumping up and
down, and he was howling." (Rauschning, p.285-286) [Whatever the reader may conclude
about the Unknown Superiors, whether a figment of a sick mind or real entities, please
remember that both Nazi cosmology and NA religion view(ed) them as real and independent
beings - and also as extensions of one's own untapped divinity. No provision is made in either
system for the possibility of ascended beings who first seduce their channels and then torment
them. Yet stories similar to the above are not uncommon in NA circles. From those who
leave the New Age after such an experience, the verdict is uniform: the Guides are clever
deceivers with evil motives. For those who stay, the solution is to blame oneself for the "bad
trip" and blindly dive in deeper; this was apparently Hitler's choice.]
Hitler's personal devotion to occult principles was proven ultimately by his self-inflicted
death. His choice of April 30 for his suicide may well have been meant as a sacrifice; it was
the eve of Beltane (known in Germany as Walpurgisnacht), identified on popular Wiccan
websites as a Druid feast in honor of the deity Bel. In witchcraft, this "power-point" day is
regarded as a "great sabbat" equal in potency to Halloween. According to Wiccans, Bel is
derived from the Canaanite Baal; but Helena Blavatsky goes farther in _The Secret Doctrine_
(vol.2), reconstructing an astrological trinity of Bel/Baal (sun-god, father), Christos (Mercury,
son) and Lucifer (Venus, holy spirit). [more on the Lucifer connection in "Gods of the New
Age"] As for Hitler's suicide itself, this was not a cowardly act from an occultist viewpoint,
but rather an honorable practice known among the Druids, as well as among the Cathari
