(Hitler being their incarnate deity), and to harness latent spiritual forces believed to reside in the Aryan psyche. (Sklar, p.100) [This was not
an abrupt change, since these SS candidates had grown up in 1920s Germany, where the occult, psychic phenomena and paganism were quite
trendy. Presumably their parents, school teachers, civic leaders and other role models had already contributed to the next generation's
conditioning by their own immersion in Eastern mysticism and spiritism. The implications for today's youth, who are being raised on an even
more potent and invasive brew of the same, are unmistakable.] Secrecy, a total dedication that erased all other loyalties, unquestioning
obedience, isolation from 'common society', a sense of self-sacrifice, a place in an exalted and ancient line of "guardians" [as the blackcloaked,
Force-wielding Jedi Knights were described in "Star Wars"], and a strict observance of hierarchal status were the methods of
fostering unity - all of them borrowed from occult societies.
But under it all, the abject fear was instilled in SS men of being found unworthy of their exalted status, especially through the sin of
independent thinking. The group-think to which they had been subjected since early childhood sank to new depths to minimize the chances
of such a mishap. A required achievement for SS candidates was Kadavergehorsam, or "dead-body [unfeeling, robotic] obedience". In
merciless drills, they were trained to disregard their own emotions and consciences by performing acts of brutality on self and others usually
associated with satanic cult rituals. (See descriptions in Sklar, p.96-100) (Such practices in satanism are meant to produce an altered state of
consciousness and, as they believe, to channel the natural horror response into psychic energy which empowers spells.) In the resulting
numbness, they could carry out the most horrific orders without thinking, and walk among sickening sights without flinching. Himmler
firmly believed in the holiness of this ultimate devotion, in which the SS suffered and sacrificed more than their victims. For him, the unsung
"glory" of the SS was "to have stuck it out... and to have remained decent fellows." As for Himmler himself: "I try to reach a compromise in
my own life; I try to help people and do good, relieve the oppressed and remove injustices wherever I can. Do you think my heart is in all the
things which have to be done simply from reasons of state?" The extreme sacrifices of the SS, he said, were required in part by German racial
Karma; an individual "oughtn't to think of himself". (Sklar, p.90-91) [Undoubtedly, many NAers will view themselves in precisely the same
light when they are required to take part in necessary future purges. The view is already prevalent in NA that individual human rights must
give way to humanity's rights, and this includes inflicting pain as well as enduring it.] It was also German Karma, Himmler said, that they be
"saved" by "a figure of the greatest brilliance" - meaning not Hitler, but the spirit "incarnate" in him and possessing him. (Sklar, p.157)
An inner circle of SS officers took on the roles of Teutonic knights, complete with coat-of-arms, and met regularly at Himmler's Wevelsburg
fortress for deep meditation, week-long visualization sessions (Sklar, p.88) andcontacts with disembodied spirit masters. The very insignia
of the SS was loaded with occult meaning; the twin lightning bolts were an ancient Nordic power rune. [Savitri Devi also focused on the
imagery of twin cosmic light sources in her adoration of Hitler.] The Ahnenerbe branch of the SS invested huge sums in trips to Tibet to
search for an ancient Aryan clan, (Angeberts, p.95) and exhaustive efforts were made toharness supernatural powers for the Nazi war effort:
everything from pendulum divination and ESP to yoga and Zen Buddhism was investigated. (Sklar, p.101-103) Himmler was certain that his
British adversaries were doing the same kind of research, and possibly with more success. (In reality, the British were aware of the high
regard Himmler and others had for astrology, and commissioned astrologer Ludwig von Wohl to predict what kind of advice they were
getting from Nazi stargazers.) Hitler'sstrict vegetarianism was a matter of principle because of reincarnation of souls into animal bodies.
(This was not only Hindu and Buddhist belief but Cathar as well - Angeberts, p.238) In fact, Nazis were seen to show great respect for
animal life even while slaughtering human beings (see note 6 by Angeberts' translator, p.281). [This peculiar devaluation of humans below
animals is a pillar of Hindu life as well, where the sacred cows and cobras of India fare far better than the luckless human born to a low
caste. In the West animal rights are threatening to eclipse human rights as well, reflected in the "Earth First" mentality.]
Yet another ancient belief adopted by the Nazis was the dualist cycle of the universe - a cosmos full of energies at polar opposites carrying
on a continual battle, colliding to bring temporary balance and transmuting to a higher state of being, evolving into a new polarization,
renewed battle, and on endlessly. Fire and Ice, Light and Darkness, Matter and Spirit, Good and Evil, the human races all followed this spiral
path. Each "new world order" could not proceed without the destruction of the "old order"; therefore destruction is as healthy as the following
restructure. This cosmology was shared by many cultures: the Zoroastrians of Persia (who greatly impressed Nietzsche), the Hindu writers of
the Veda, the Greek gnostics (particularly Pythagoras, who carried the concept from Egypt), the Manachaeans (gnostic Christians), the
Cathars, Nordic legends (Angeberts, p.68ff) and Germanic lore tranmitted mostly through Wagner (p.154). It is also a pillar of Theosophical
teaching and of Alice Bailey, who clearly approved of Hitler's role in destroying the old order and "establishing of a new world order", as
Hitler described it in Bailey's own words. (Angeberts, p.155)
A tactic especially interesting to Jews which was shared by both Nazism and NA is faulting the Jews for rejecting Jesus as their Messiah.
Like Hitler, no NA leaders accept Jesus's claims as recorded in the New Testament, yet they make much of the fact that the Jews did not
either. While Hitler drew on Martin Luther's vitrolic condemnation of the Jews for stubbornly rejecting Jesus, Alice Bailey simply adds this
rejection to her tally of the Jews' karmic debt: "Christ came to bring an end to the Jewish dispensation which should have climaxed and
passed away as a religion... In the rejection of Christ as the Messiah, the Jewish race has remained symbolically and practically in the
[astrological] sign of Aries, the Scapegoat [actually Aries is a ram, as noted elsewhere in her book, but the purpose for this "mistake" is selfevident]...
they will repeat their ancient sin of non-response to the evolutionary process. They rejected that which was new and spiritual in the
desert [by making the golden calf at Sinai]; they did it again in Palestine 2000 years ago; will they do it again, as opportunity is offered to
them?" (Alice Bailey, _The Reappearance of the Christ_, p.81)
[Here we have a masterful "catch-22", for if the Jews reject Maitreya as a false messiah, they will "remain the Scapegoat" and be removed
from the new humanity as they deserve. If they accept him, they will accept his assessment that past karma requires their annihilation - first
spiritual erasure and then physical death. The only question is whether they will go out in submission or in rebellion, but go they will...]
Knowing that Christians are susceptible to such reasoning, today's NAers have become adept at using "Christian" arguments against the
Jews. Christians coming from an environment that never mentioned Alice Bailey will recognize the eerie similarity of Bailey's quote above to
the widespread Christian doctrine known as "Replacement Theology", the belief that the Jewish dispensation ended with Christ and that the
failure of Jews to accept him cost them their place as G-d's chosen people. But the Christian linkage is maintained on the NA side for its PR
value only; it rallies support among Christians for their own goals, while they work for the end of both the Jews and the Christians, as did
Hitler. [A case can be made that the very existence of this as a "Christian" theology may be due to NA infiltration into Christian leadership.
Only someone who is indifferent to the survival of Christianity could support such a belief, because if Replacement happened to the Jews,
there is no guarantee that it won't happen next time to the Christians! Precisely the argument that NA uses.]
Besides all the above common ground, there is universal reverence in NA and Nazism for Tibetan Buddhism. Blavatsky and other
Theosophists considered the Tibetan Himalayas the home of the Hierarchy themselves. According to some opinions, Hitler sent SS officers
to the Himalayas not only to seek out the source of the Aryan race, but if possible to make contact with "Asgard" and consult directly with
