As with many questions surrounding Hitler it is all too easy to focus on all the external influences that one would expect from a man such as this. The truth is that everything about him, his rise to power and his ability to turn the world on its heels defies all logic and human reasoning. It is for this reason that I would suggest a change in perspective to examine the man more closely.

What were his beliefs and where did they come from? Where did this drive to wipe out a whole race of people originate?

We know that Hitler believed in a superior race but he wasn’t alone. A woman called Helena Blavatsky who is not usually associated with Hitler, also believed in a superior race. Interestingly, Hitler was born April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, and he died by suicide on April 30, 1945. Making him aprox 2 years of age when Helena Blavatsky died. She was born August 12, 1831 (July 31, Old Style), in Yekaterinoslav, Russian Empire (now Dnipro, Ukraine) and died on May 8, 1891, in London, England. Yet, their ideologies shared the same root system. Some would argue that one was not influenced by the other but it is accurate to state that they were both under the same ‘spiritual’ guidance that led the world to the edge of an unprecedented spiritual and literal abyss.

Helena Blavatsky was one of the most influential figures in the history of Western esotericism. Blavatsky’s teachings blended elements of Eastern religions (such as Hinduism and Buddhism) with Western occult traditions, creating what is known as Theosophy.

Hitler was a later addition to the list of individuals who also believed in the superior race theory. In fact, the issue of inferiority and superiority had been in development long before he came on the scene. In addition, the Jewish community and their faith had been the center of propaganda and persecution throughout history. A community of people who were easily distinguished from other nations and by their track record, were overcomers in every scenario thrown at them.

Here is a quote from the book The Hidden Tree, (Pages 268 and 269):

At the center were the teachings of Helena Blavatsky, who believed in an evolutionary ‘root race theory’, a form of salvation that transitions the ‘on earth race’ through seven stages of spiritual and physical evolution in a form of reincarnation. Blavatsky seems to combine the spiritual ascendence with a physical presence to describe the beginning and ultimate position of humans, concerning lost continents such as Atlantis.

1st root race — Astral/Etheric — (Did not have physical bodies)

2nd root race — Hyperboreans

3rd root race — Lemurians

4th root race — Atlanteans

5th root race — Aryans — Under development

6th root race — Yet to appear

7th root race — Final Stage — Yet to appear

At this juncture, it is also pointless dialoguing about the possible influence of such teachings on people such as Hitler, as it should be clear by now that one only has to connect themselves to a strand of this root system to potentially become infected by the whole. Hitler was no different from anyone else in this regard. Helena Blavatsky was simply one of many who ventured down a road of inner discovery to be enthused by a form of religion (occultism) that was and is the dark atmosphere of the world in which this ancient tree has gained an advantage over human souls.

I suggest to you that it was on the grounds of philosophy that the Jews became a target. A philosophy that was rooted in humanism (the worship of self) and that accepted the idea that races were not equal. Of course, external factors played their part too but at the root of the problem was an ideology. One that had been in preparation for some time and culminated in the largest, systematic eugenics programme of our time.

Quote:

Hitler’s preaching during these days concluded in a trend of religion that would embrace and eventually implement everything that the dark ministers of eugenics were responsible for propagating. People such as Francis Galton, Margaret Higgins Sanger, Julian Sorell Huxley, Charles Davenport, Clarence Gamble, Leonard Darwin, Marie Stopes, Helen Keller, George Bernard Shaw, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Bertrand Russell, HG Wells, Winston Churchill, William Beveridge, John Harvey Kellogg: a brief list which should include the multiple slavemasters, business tycoons, landowners, cotton manufacturers, inventors, doctors, lawyers, estate owners, philosophers, psychiatrists and an infinite number of others who boldly proclaimed racist, anti-Semitic bellicosity mixed with a heavy dose of elitist separatism.

The impact of Hitler’s preaching was clear. His prison sentence was reduced from a five-year sentence to approximately nine months due to his rising popularity. To put this into context, the Third Reich was the official Nazi designation for the regime in Germany from January 1933 to May 1945, 12 years. From 1925 to 1945, its membership handbook (Mein Kampf) sold over 12 million copies and was translated into over a dozen languages including a braille edition. The result of this religious agenda is estimated to have taken the lives of six million Jews. This made up 2/3rds of the Jewish population in Europe, which was approximately 9.5 million.

(The Hidden Tree, Page 151 and 152)

Definition for esotericism: From a biblical worldview, esotericism refers to the belief in hidden or secret spiritual knowledge accessible only to a select few, often through special initiation or inner illumination, rather than through the plain, accessible teachings of Scripture. This contrasts with the biblical emphasis on the gospel and God’s revelation being openly available to all people, regardless of special knowledge or status.
