Kritik am Buch „The Shadow Of The Dalai Lama ... - Neues von Shi De

in which he recounts his encounters with the German poet Hermann Hesse and the depth psychologist
C. G. Jung, displays a great deal of occultist speculation when one reads it attentively. Serrano titled
his book The Hermetic Circle: Conversations, Correspondence, and Memories of Hermann Hesse
and C. G. Jung.[5] This title alone should signal that the author had formed an esoteric brotherhood
with Jung and Hesse, a sort of triumvirate of magicians who had gained admittance to the archetypal
storehouses of the human subconscious and are unique in the twentieth century. Jung was sympathetic
towards the Chilean who had courted him. He wrote an effusive foreword to Serrano’s tale, The Visit
of the Queen of Saba: “This book is unusual. It is a dream amidst other dreams, one could say, and
completely different to the spontaneous creations of the unconscious with which I am
familiar” (Serrano, 1980, p. 7). Serrano was also a great admirer of the American poet, Ezra Pound,
who sympathized with the Italian fascists. Together with Pound’s widow (Olga Rudge) and Prince
Ivanici, Serrano had a commemorative stone erected in Italy.
His occult studies took him to all parts of the world. He saw himself as a modern Percival (Parsifal)
and Minnesinger, who went in search of the Grail under the protection of his diplomatic passport.
“The life of an ambassador is a farce and a folly”, he said in an interview in the journal Cedade, “My
post allows me to meet with people of value like the Dalai Lama, Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Hanna
Reitsch (Hitler’s famous female war pilot) and others” (Cedade, 1986). Switzerland, Westphalia, the
mountains of Salzburg, the Pyrenées, his travels in search of the Grail led him through all these
“geomantically” significant sites, but likewise to the Himalayas, Patagonia, and Antarctica.
The Chilean was rightly considered the occult eminence of modern, international fascism. Meanwhile,
his phantasmagoric writings have also developed a fanatic following in the German neo-nazi scene: It
is the Chilean author’s obsessive intention to convince his readers that Adolf Hitler was an avatar (a
divine incarnation) or a tulku, and ever will be, since he lives on in another body in another sphere,
that of the kingdom of Shambhala. According to Serrano, the Führer will reappear as the doomsday
ruler and fight a terrible battle, and that in the next few years. How did this bizarre fantasy arise?
Shortly after the Second World War a mysterious “master” from the beyond is supposed to have
appeared to the Chilean and said to him: “Hitler is a initiate, he can communicate with those dwelling
on the astral plane. I do not know who his spiritual leaders are, but I have decided to help him. Hitler
is a being with an iron, unshakable will which he inevitably put into effect. He never yielded. I was in
contact with him.” (Serrano, 1987, p. 21).
After this appearance of his spiritual guru, Serrano was absolutely convinced that he had been
entrusted with the mission of the century: the worldwide dissemination of Hitlerismo Esoterico (of
“esoteric Hitlerism”). Whilst still performing his international duties as a Chilean Ambassador he held
himself back, although he carried the idea in his heart from the nineteen fifties on. During this period
he published books of a poetic/esoteric content with several respectable western publishers which,
although they without exception include tantric topics (especially the “female sacrifice”), studiously
avoid mentioning the name of Adolf Hitler. Only in 1978 did the Chilean first dare to go public with
an open profession of belief in the German Nazi dictator, and published El Cordón Dorado —
Hitlerismo Esoterico [The Golden Ribbon — Esoteric Hitlerism]. In the mid-eighties the almost 650page,
large-format book, Adolf Hitler, el Ùltimo Avatâra [Adolf Hitler, the Last Avatar], followed.
Serrano summarizes the results of his extensive occult research into this topic with the concise
statement that, “esoteric Hitlerism is tantric” (Serrano, 1987, p. 330).
