The Occult and the Third Reich

THE VERY SERIOUS WAR MOST OF US DO NOT KNOW WE ARE IN

Reading of Eric Jon Phelps and his advocacy of Bulwer-Lytton underground earth as well as the Hans Horbiger type fire and ice theories so popular in Hitler's Nazi regime, brought back memories of my earliest 1981 research on the New Age Movement. One of the most important books I read was THE OCCULT AND THE THIRD REICH by Jean Michel Angebert. That was the combined name of two French scholars. Their book was both translated and introduced by University of Tennessee Department Chairman, Lewis A. M. Sumberg.[i] I first read that book in 1981 as I was studying the New Age Movement and its more startling and obvious aims -- the installation of a new 'messiah' -- one who was neither Jesus nor Jewish.

New Age books, such as Alice Bailey's, intimated the Jews might get their own future separate national messiah, but he would not be the world messiah 'as the Jews had forever forfeited that privilege.' Here is the relevant quote from page 706 of Alice Bailey's THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS:

"It may interest you to know that the Christ has not yet decided what type of physical vehicle He will employ should He take physical form and work definitely upon the physical plane. He waits to see what nation or group of nations do the most work, and the most convincing work, in preparation for His reappearance. He will not, however, take a Jewish body as He did before, for the Jews have forfeited that privilege. The Messiah for Whom they wait will be one of Christ's senior disciples, but it will not be, as originally intended, the Christ. Symbolically, the Jews represent (from the point of view of the Hierarchy) that from which all Masters of the Wisdom and Lords of Compassion emerge: materialism, cruelty and a spiritual conservatism, so that today they live in Old Testament times and are [Page 706] under the domination of the separative, selfish, lower concrete mind. "

I noted in my book "HIDDEN DANGERS" that the New Age Movement featured both anti-Semitism and intense anti-Catholicism, in addition to being against true Christianity in just about any form. Reading the Phelps passages that I quoted in my Saturday post reminded me of important chapters I had read in the Jean-Michel Angebert book vis a vis Hitler's cosmogony. Moreover, there were important differences between Fascism and Nazism -- Nazism was much deeper and darker. Hitler envisioned a death struggle with Fascism once he had finished his other more preliminary battles.

That is part of what so intensely bothers me about the type of disinformation Phelps is shoveling out to the Protestant Christian community. The book has obvious absurdities: The Vatican controlling the English monarchy; Episcopalian Jesuits; the Jesuits killed Kennedy; the Jesuits killed John Kennedy, Jr., while simultaneously claiming that Teddy Kennedy is a Jesuit plant in the United States Senate. The Catholics have their faults to be sure, as do we all, but to make such unfounded and ludicrous accusations is sure to bring unfair labeling upon all believers!

With this type of literature so far going unchallenged in Evangelical circles makes me recoil to think I was accused of putting out ‘conspiracy theories’ for presenting the actual statements and plans of New Agers. The Phelps' book really is a conspiracy theory, in the most ugly and obscene sense of the word, and so many good people are buying into it, seeing only what they wanted to see, their filters bypassing the obvious occult sources and direction. When going to the SpectrumPress site to order it, why aren't people seeing the obvious long and intense list of New Age books -- why do they believe that Spectrum Press would be the only one to listen? Well, I will tell you right now that New Agers don't put out that type of stuff to win the world to Jesus! They do it to hasten the incineration of the world for Lucifer!

The Angebert thesis was that the two eternal enemies of occultism or “the gnosis” was (1) the Catholic Church “eternal enemy of the Gnosis, which it pursues relentlessly in all its forms, and (2) the Jewish Faith.

Knowing that and the oft-stated New Age position, stated perhaps most eloquently in Peter Lemesurier, that the game plan of the New Agers was to pit the target groups off against each other, I view just about anything too hateful about anybody with deep suspicion. Because of this, I decided The occult and the Third Reich required re-reading in view of the observations I have made over the nearly last quarter of a century. I will be updating the Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, and I just may make that available on this blogspot and Herb Peter’s website as well as seeking its republication in updated form.

I will be writing much more of this in forthcoming blogs; however, for now, I feel we must all be reminded how terribly, terribly serious all of this is. I quote from the dust jacket of the Jean-Michel Angebert work:

“He who has seen in National Socialism only a political movement, has seen nothing.” -- Adolf Hitler

“Some thirty years after this statement was made, the authors of The Occult and the Third Reich pronounced: “The time has come, once and for all, to call to account those who refuse to see in Nazism anything but a political system . . . Nazism is only the most recent outcropping of a militant neo-Paganism locked in a death struggle with its arch enemy, traditional Christianity, a struggle which will go on to the end of time.”

Whether we are now in end times, or merely another phase of the ancient battle with “our ancient foe who seeks to do us woe,” we must not be ignorant of the devices designed to take us to the dark side of that battle. I will be writing much more about this in the days to come.

Enjoy the balance of your weekend.
