Hitler's Terror Weapons, Brooks, Geoffrey [cat reading book .txt] 📗

“with more disdain than the citizens of New York [once] regarded the negroes”. They believed in the survival of the fittest, the triumph of the strong over the weak, and the dominance of the Aryan race. The Vril-ya dismissed democracy, free institutions and elected government as “one of the crude and ignorant experiments which belong to the infancy of political science”. Their ultimate objective was “to attain to the purity of our species and supplant all the inferior races now existing”.

The Vril-ya were named after the all-permeating fluid in nature which they denominate Vril. They had discovered the latent powers stored in Vril to which can be ascribed their mastery over the elements: Vril could “be raised and disciplined into the mightiest agency over all forms of matter, animate and inanimate.” Although no language had a word exactly synonymous with Vril, it seemed to be electricity comprehending in its manifold branches other forces of nature, “the unity in natural energic agencies conjectured by many philosophers.” The narrator described a hollow rod of adjustable length with several keys or springs in the handle to modify the force. The exercise of Vril power could only be acquired through heredity. A 4-year-old Vril female infant could accomplish effects which would be impossible for an ordinary human technician after a lifetime of trying.

The Coming Race was supposed to be simply an occult novel, although it reads like a treatise and, bearing in mind its author’s affinities, was considered by many to be fiction containing a number of occult truths. For Hitler and the National Socialist Movement it crystallized into the blueprint for the world’s future.

What could Vril be? The aviation historian and author Trevor James Constable wrote:

“The daily etheric breathings of the Earth produce a barometric pressure wave twice daily, which formal science has never been able to explain. There is enough energy in these barometric waves to run the world’s machines – if we can but find the transducer. The torque drive of the Earth itself is an inexhaustible, life-positive energy source of staggering magnitude. Before long, someone will uncover that all important step (discovered by Wilhelm Reich but not disclosed by him) by which etheric force can be transduced … the price for this new technical epoch is a forced overhaul of our whole mode of existence. We will see the beginning of a reunion between science and religion as the cosmic energies – pervaded with life and themselves the milieu of living beings – come into technical utility. Man will find the central parts of his own physical existence inseparably bound up with etheric energies, and he will be opened to a wider understanding of himself and the cosmos that produced him. The ultimate consequence will be a new humanity.”166

And how was this to be achieved? First there had to be produced by mutation the men and women who would form the new humanity capable of understanding and controlling Vril power. Bulwer-Lytton had stated that the power could only be acquired through heredity, indicating that the secret was transmitted through the blood. At once we begin to suspect a mystical answer involving siddhis or super-normal powers. The only access to the sum total of the knowledge in the Universe is through mystical enlightenment which, so it is claimed, involves changes in the blood. The progeny of enlightened mystics would themselves be enlightened mystics from conception.167

According to Rudolf Hess, the Master Magician of the Third Reich was Karl Haushofer.168 Prior to the Great War, Haushofer was attached to the Staff Corps of the German Diplomatic Mission in Tokyo. He was a clairvoyant of mystical inclination and during his tour of duty in Japan, the language of which he spoke fluently, was initiated into a Buddhist sect known as The Green Dragon. He left the Army following the defeat of 1918 in the rank of general and graduated in political geography at Munich University shortly afterwards. The periodical Geo-Political Review which he founded was dedicated to propagating the idea of Aryan supremacy, a belief he had embraced while travelling in Central Asia in 1905. Karl Haushofer believed that the Earth was a living being and a cosmic organism: the world was a system of undulating waves, matter was nothing more than vibration and energy. This is Hermetic doctrine. If an initiate of an esoteric monastic order professes Hermeticism, it is a safe bet that his order is Hermetic. A disciple of Karl Haushofer was the Egyptian-born Rudolf Hess, a fanatical vegetarian and abstemient, who served as his assistant at Munich University and was the intermediary between Haushofer and Hitler. The first meeting with the latter occurred in 1924 at Landsberg Prison. Subsequently Haushofer visited Hitler every day and spent hours expounding his theories. It was the doctrine of Haushofer which eventually formed the basis for Mein Kampf, compiled by Hess at Hitler’s dictation and published in 1925. That same year Haushofer founded an occult organization known as The Luminous Lodge of the Vril Society. Hitler was allegedly much impressed by Bulwer-Lytton’s book, a copy of which he received in 1924 from Haushofer, who believed it contained occult truths dressed as fiction.

The German rocket scientist Willy Ley who left Germany in 1933 stated that the purpose of the Vril Society was to create the Aryan super-race.169 For this purpose a large contingent of Tibetan lamas with connections to the esoteric disciplines was invited to take up domicile in Berlin. They wore a green cap and gloves and one assumes there was a connection with Haushofer’s Order of the Green Dragon in Japan. As it also had initiatory centres in Turkey for its clandestine connection with Islam through Sufi, Druze and Dervish doctrines it was also transreligious. The Tibetan lamas were not particularly secretive. The senior lama gave an interview to the Berliner Zeitung predicting correctly on three occasions the number of deputies that the NSDAP would send to the Reichstag. The French spy Teddy Legrande wrote extensively about these Tibetan lamas in Berlin in
