The Hidden History of the White Race - The Swastika

The white race has been deliberately “cut off” from its ancestral religion of Hinduism, which was practiced across prehistoric Europe for thousands of years before the rise of Christianity. As a result, whites in the world have “lost their Path” and forgotten “who they are” spiritually, discarding introspection in their wild pursuit of money and material possessions. We’ll examine the modern day censorship of Europe’s indigenous Hindu faith, and the suppression of its key symbol, the Swastika. We’ll see how, as a result, whites have lost their past, their future, and the greatness of their ancient spiritual Way.

Hinduism—with its exceptionally high spiritual concepts of the Eternal Soul, Reincarnation, Karma, Yoga, the Third Eye, and Nirvana (concepts that many whites are mysteriously embracing today)—is the lost religious tradition of Europe, long before Christianity and the Hebrew Bible arose 2,000 years ago and took its place. This is not a racist conjecture or unsupported opinion; it’s a fact grounded in academia.

Swastikas Found On Ruins Across Ancient Europe

All ancient European cultures—i.e., the Etruscans, Greeks, Romans, Gauls, Celts, etc. —practiced the same high spiritual religion of Hinduism. We can still see this religion’s central symbol, the swastika, all over European ruins, visible in this 1898 Yale University study:

Most people today associate Hinduism with India. This is correct. But Hinduism was not born in India. It was brought into India, according to scholars. Before settling in Europe, scholars believe the nomadic “Aryans” (or white race) invaded ancient India from the north, bringing Hinduism with them and introducing Hinduism into the subcontinent, where it has existed ever since.

(NOTE: We’re taught in school that the term “Aryan” signifies Hitler’s supposed belief in a blond-haired, blue-eyed “master race.” But this is a lie, plain and simple. Historically, “Aryan” has always meant “white people,” i.e., Europeans. For hundreds of years before World War II, university scholars across the world used “Aryan” to denote “whites.” Do a simple search in Google books and you’ll see.)

Hinduism is still practiced across India today. 

But Europe suffered a different fate. The introduction of Christianity two thousand years ago cut the Caucasian race off from its indigenous Hindu religious roots, plunging Europe into the Dark Ages from which Europeans and white people in general have tried—but in many ways failed—to emerge.

This secret origin of Hinduism and the white race is unlocked in a simple, fascinating chronicle known in academic circles as the ancient “Aryan Invasion of India” model of history. Again, this is no fringe theory; it is accepted by a vast majority of the world’s scholars, archaeologists, professors and academics.

The Aryan Invasion of India

Scholars now for centuries have believed that prehistoric India—the land of the swastika, which is the key symbol of Hinduism—was once home to two races: the invading Aryans (non-indigenous) and the indigenous Dravidians.

The Aryan invasion theory posits that the Dravidians were the native people of India long ago, and at a certain point were invaded from the north by a sophisticated Caucasian race of nomadic warriors, the Aryans. 

The victory of the Aryans was quick and complete, and they chose to stay, abandoning their nomadic lifestyle and settling amongst the natives. The Aryans taught the Dravidians their advanced Aryan culture and religion, the key symbol of which is the swastika, eventually leading to the dominance of their culture and language over the northern part of the subcontinent. 

The Aryans instituted the caste system and established themselves as the dominant caste in order to prevent race-mixing (which they believed would be socially problematic to their hegemony). These Aryans, according to historians, are the ones who composed the sophisticated Vedic writings; these writings form the heart of the religion of Hinduism.

From India, the Aryans eventually migrated westward into Europe, creating the high cultures that evolved into Germany, Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and so on. Every Caucasian in America who can trace family roots to Europe is a descendant of these historical Aryans.

Again, this is not an opinion, it is pure scholarship. In Barbarian Tides, a 1982 publication from the highly respected Time-Life Books library, we are told:

“These people, the Aryans, would bestow their social institutions on the Indian subcontinent and spawn a unique spiritual culture, Hinduism.”

“The caste concept sprang from the Aryans’ extreme race consciousness: the very word they used for “caste” meant “color.”

This has an interesting consequence that many Westerners would not hit upon at first: Long before Christianity, most Caucasians in Europe were practicing the religion we now call Hinduism. If the Aryans brought Hinduism to India, and the Europeans are descended from Aryans, as the chronology necessitates, then consequently all European ancestors, at some point in time, practiced a form of Hinduism.

Of course, most Westerners today realize the swastika is sacred among Hindus who live in India; it is visible on Indian temples, altars, religious scriptures, used in Hindu weddings, festivals, and ceremonies, and painted on houses, clothing and jewelry.

However, most Westerners are unaware that the swastika was once ancient Europe’s most important and prolific religious symbol.

Shortly after the real-life groundbreaking discovery of the mythical Troy in the 1870s by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890), he found a multitude of artifacts bearing the swastika in the city’s ruins. Having consulted with two leading Sanskrit scholars, Emile Burnouf and Max Müller, Schliemann became convinced it was a central Aryan religious symbol. Burnouf, a French Orientalist,  felt that the swastika was proof not only of the westward migration of Aryan tribes from India, but of the symbol’s connection to the sophisticated ancient Aryan religion—Hinduism.

In his 1896 book, The Swastika: The Earliest Known Symbol and its Migrations, Thomas Wilson, former curator of the Department of Prehistoric Anthropology in the U.S. National Museum, wrote of the swastika:

“Some authorities are of the opinion that it was an Aryan symbol and used by the Aryan peoples before their dispersion through Asia and Europe. This is a fair subject for inquiry and might serve as an explanation how…as a sacred symbol…the Swastika might have been carried to the different peoples and countries in which we now find it by the splitting up of the Aryan peoples and their migrations and establishment in the various parts of Europe.”

—Thomas Wilson

By the 20th century, swastika images were being discovered on artifacts all across Europe, designed into mosaics, friezes, sculptures, and paintings, used by the Etruscans, Romans, Scandinavians, Sabines, Phrygians and Greeks.

Outside of Europe, the swastika was found in some Mesopotamian city-states, on Hittite and ancient Iranian relics, and used by the indigenous Bön faith of Tibet. The swastika is also important in Buddhism and Jainism—modern offshoots of the prehistoric religion of Hinduism—adorning temples, and forming a repeating pattern in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese art.

Revival Of The Swastika In Europe – “God Is Dead”

Soon after Schliemann’s discovery, the swastika became en vogue among whites in Europe, many of whom began to denounce Christianity en masse and to see the swastika as an authentic emblem of their European ancestry. The movement spread to whites across the world:

The Edmonton Swastikas, Canada 1916

Boys swastika basketball team, San Francisco, 1908.

 

English author and Freemason Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
used the swastika on the dust jackets of his books.

Coca Cola made a swastika-shaped watch fob.

At the time, the writings of the influential 19th century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) were also helping to bring the swastika into circulation. Nietzsche is famous for his impassioned denouncement of biblical monotheism. “God is dead” was his famous proclamation in Thus Spake Zarathustra (1883).

What did Nietzsche mean by this provocative sentence “God is Dead”?

Nietzsche charged that the Christian religion ascendant in the West since Roman times has been a magnificent hoax perpetrated by “the Jews” (as he put it), designed to put them into a position of power, influence, and authority. The Jewish aim, he believed, was to elevate the Hebrew God into the world’s God by establishing the New Testament religion onto the foundations of their Old Testament tradition:

“…Christianity can be understood only in terms of the soil out of which it grew—it is not a counter-movement to the Jewish instinct, it is its very consequence… even today the Christian can feel anti-Jewish without realizing that he himself is the ultimate Jewish consequence…”

—Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche’s teachings fit right in with the anti-Semitic and racially charged atmosphere of 19th and early 20th century “white Europe,” which was fast becoming uncomfortable with what it now considered its unauthentic Jewish (Semitic) ancestry. Nevertheless, Nietzsche’s work is no anti-Semitic rant; his work offers important insight into how the biblical Old Testament (and it’s “God,” Yahweh) has been unnaturally grafted onto European history, cutting whites off from their ancestral and indigenous Hindu religion.

As early as the Renaissance, many Europeans were already unwilling to continue in the biblical tradition, which they now perceived as alien to their ancestry. By the 19th century, European scholars and laymen had begun to rediscover their own religious heritage. This anti-Judeo/Christian movement gained tremendous ground among scholars, academics, and intellectuals, like Aldous Huxley, who always distrusted monotheism. In his article ‘One And Many’ Huxley says that:

“monotheism, as we know it in the West, was invented by the Jews”

—Aldous Huxley, One And Many

Followers of the Abrahamic or Semitic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam did not use the swastika. The Semitic people had a very different religious, cultural, and linguistic history from the Indo-Europeans (called Indo-European because the Aryans settled in India before migrating into Europe); the Semitic religions present in Europe, via Christianity, are much younger than the religion suggested by the swastika.

Sanskrit, Europe’s Mother Tongue

The whole “Aryan invasion” model arose after the English philologist Sir William Jones (1746-1794) recognized similarities between the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit and the more modern European languages, including Latin and Greek, the Germanic, Celtic and Slavic languages.

Scholars found that Sanskrit was in fact the “mother-tongue” from which these and indeed all of Europe’s languages had evolved. European languages are now called “Indo-European” in honor of their “Indo” or “Indian” (Sanskrit) origin. Other researchers soon built on Jones’ work, showing that the Avestan and Armenian languages were also based on Sanskrit.

The term “Aryan” derives from the ancient Indian (Vedic Sanskrit) and Persian (Avestan) term arya for “noble.” The Aryan tribes in India called their land Aaryaa varta or Aryan expanse. The Aryans in Iran similarly named their land Airyanem Vaejah, or Iranian Expanse, today known as Iran, which is a variant of “Aryan.”

Westerners unaware of Iran’s Aryan ancestry often lump it in with surrounding Arab states based on their shared religion of Islam. Iran, however, is distinct in many ways, having retained much of its national, racial and cultural identity for thousands of years. Describing the Iranians, the famous 5th Century B.C Greek Historian Herodotus wrote:

“In ancient times… they were renowned as Aryans among themselves and their neighbors.”

—Herodotus

The 6th Century BC King of Persia, Darius the Great, in an inscription in Naqsh-e-Rostam says:

“I am Darius the great King… A Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, having Aryan lineage …”

—Darius The Great

About two-thirds of Iran’s current population is described as “Caucasian,” descended from ancient Aryan tribes who pushed through Iran and continued westward into Europe from northern India. The remaining one-third is considered Turks and Arabs.

The Shah had the title Arya-Mehr, which means “Light of the Aryans.” An ancient Iranian tradition comparable to India’s caste system and still in practice today is the rule against interracial marriage. Aryan Iranians are prohibited by their families—and in some cases by communal law—from marrying non-Aryans.

Famous German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 – 1832) believed Jones’ linguistic discovery was proof of the westward migration of the ancient Aryans. Norwegian Sanskritist Christian Lassen (1800-1876) agreed, pointing out that ancient Aryans, like modern high caste people of India, had a lighter complexion. German lexicographer Jacob Grimm (1785- 1863), who compiled ancient Aryan myths now called “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” (i.e., Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Rapunzel), asserted that these stories were used for millennia as vehicles for transporting incredibly advanced spiritual teachings across time.

These renowned thinkers had a powerful influence in Europe, where they exerted a tremendous impact on the German philologist and Orientalist Max Muller (1823–1900), one of the 19th century’s most celebrated scholars.

Muller wrote:

“The Aryan nations…stand before us in history as the principal nations of northwestern Asia and Europe. …They have perfected society and morals; and we learn from their literature and works of art the elements of science, the laws of art, and the principles of philosophy. …these Aryan nations have become the rulers of history, and it seems to be their mission to link all parts of the world together by the chains of civilization…”

—Max Muller

By the 1800s the British were already using this model for the political purpose of justifying their occupation and colonial rule of India, which began in the early 1600s and ended in 1947.

Several writers and historians had traced the origins of the Aryans to the Caucasus Mountains region; these mountains bridge Europe and Asia, and from this idea the term “Caucasian,” invented by German anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), came into widespread use.

The Great “Flood” That Sank Atlantis

Some scholars traced the Aryan homeland just east of the Caucasus to Tibet, the so-called “roof of the world,” where many scholars believed the floodwaters that destroyed Atlantis (yes, Atlantis) sent Atlantean refugees into high-altitude Tibet, where they remained safe for generations. The Aryans slowly arose here, according to this idea, to become the direct descendants and blood inheritors of the Atlanteans. Interestingly, the world-famous German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804), describing Tibet, said:

“…this is the highest country. No doubt it was inhabited before any other and could even have been the site of all creation and all science. The culture of the Indians, as is known, almost certainly came from Tibet, just as all our arts like agriculture, numbers, the game of chess, etc., seem to have come from India.”

—Immanuel Kant

Scholars, thinkers, and philosophers once accepted this chronicle as fact. In Cosmic Memory, for example, Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), the famous Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, architect, playwright, educator, and social thinker, wrote:

“The greatest part of the Atlantean population declined, and from a small portion are descended the so-called Aryans who comprise present-day civilized humanity.”

— Rudolf Steiner, Cosmic Memory

Steiner’s pre-Nazi era sentiment reflects the widespread European belief of his day. This may surprise some Americans familiar with Steiner’s reputation as an innovative educator. Today there are over one hundred “Steiner schools” throughout North America plus dozens in other countries, serving hundreds of thousands of students.

The Greek philosopher Plato first named Atlantis in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, in the fourth century B.C. He spoke of it as a sophisticated antediluvian empire that flourished for eons on a now submerged continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, from which its name is taken. Plato maintained that the Atlanteans possessed a highly spiritual wisdom religion, which enabled them to “see” their own divine and eternal “soul” inside the physical body. According to him, seeing the “soul within” allowed the Atlanteans to harness its higher powers.

Plato asserted that a memory of these powers is preserved in the fantastic abilities attributed to the “gods” of Greek and Roman mythology; instead of being actual gods, they were mortals endowed with amplified perceptions due to their connection with their eternal soul (think here of Christ and Buddha). In time, however, the Atlantean kingdom grew weak due to their materializing tendencies, weak enough that they began to lose touch with the inner divinity that granted them such power. Plato wrote:

“For many generations…they obeyed the laws and loved the divine to which they were akin. …they reckoned that qualities of character were far more important than their present prosperity. So they bore the burden of their wealth and possessions lightly, and did not let their high standard of living intoxicate them or make them lose their self-control…But when the divine element in them became weakened…and their human traits became predominant, they ceased to be able to carry their prosperity with moderation.”

—Plato

Plato goes on to explain that the end of Atlantis came some several thousand years ago, when a series of natural disasters sank their continent into the sea. A handful of survivors escaped the devastation, spreading to different parts of the world and taking their pyramid-building religion with them. Until fairly recently, most scholars believed that ancient civilizations, separated by both time and space, built pyramids and pyramidal monuments in honor of their mother culture, Atlantis:

Even today this theory is still widely held and debated. Pyramids can be found in India, China, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Ireland and many other places. Such diverse structures with similar purposes seem to indicate a connection; if there was no communication between the cultures during their development, there must then be a common source.

Skeptics point to the disparity in “pyramid-ages” around the world (scholars believe Old World pyramids were built thousands of years before New World pyramids). However, New World scholars are continuously pushing back the date of pre-Columbian pyramids and it seems only a matter of time before the dates run parallel; even if they were not, the similarity of construction, intention, and purpose of the Old and New World pyramid structures makes the idea of such an exact coincidence unlikely at best.

Most pre-World War II scholars agreed that the world’s pyramids were connected to Atlantis. They saw the Flood myths common to various cultures as proof of Atlantis’ end, parallel legends of a worldwide catastrophe after which man and civilization were forced to begin anew; they saw the legends as stemming from a dim cultural memory of that Atlantean Flood. From this catastrophe a general digression occurred—not just a cultural confusion of tongues; a digression in the physical Atlantean “race” itself. The Atlantean capacity to “hold the vision” of the “soul within” had become lost. Only the “idea” of the eternal soul remained—and it is still with us even today.

There also occurred a slow but inevitable demise of the entire Atlantean race itself, according to these thinkers. Over the course of thousands of years, the race died out, and the “Aryan” or “white” race arose in its place.

In Conclusion

The swastika’s connection to the Aryan race (or, to use a newer term, “Caucasian” race) is clear, but modern events, contradictions, and misconceptions have perverted the swastika’s original meaning, especially its semantic association. Scholars, anthropologists, linguists, and scientists have understood that the swastika is evidence of the unified and highly spiritual Aryan peoples of European prehistory.

The question is: Why is this history purposely being hidden? Why is it not taught in schools? Is it because of the direct connection to Atlantis? Is Atlantis being covered up by the Elite who don’t want the world to know of its past existence, for then perhaps the masses will ultimately uncover the ancient religion of the “soul”…and realize the truth of man’s inner divinity and innate spiritual powers?

Adolf Hitler’s ideas on all things Aryan were apparently no different than those of mainstream European scholars and laymen in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries; unfortunately, the atrocities he and the Nazis committed under the symbol of the swastika have left modern audiences with a very negative semantic association. As a result, there has been a “censorship” of this magnificent spiritual symbol that has plunged, and continues to plunge, late 20th century and early 21st century peoples (i.e., us) in the dark as to its magnificent origins and spiritual meaning.

So what does the Swastika symbol really mean? What did it symbolize in the minds of the ancients who used it? How can this symbol empower each one of us today?

The swastika, the ancient symbol of Hinduism, has been found abundantly on Neolithic European ruins during the past two centuries of archaeological excavations. This has convinced scholars, past and present, that prehistoric Europeans practiced an early form of Hinduism (with its high spiritual concepts of the Eternal Soul, Transmigration, Karma, Yoga, the Third Eye, and Nirvana). The rise of Christianity ended European Hinduism—plunging Europe into the dark ages. Was this a deliberate deathblow in a broader occult war to remove the spiritual support of the white race? Today whites shun spirituality, pursuing money and material gain; not knowing their ancestors understood the secrets of consciousness and life after death.

The Aryan Invasion Of India

Early in India’s prehistory, scholars believe, massive groups of Aryans from Central Asia, possibly Tibet—whom most scholars say were Caucasians or “whites”—invaded the Indian sub-continent. Trekking eastwards in successive waves these Aryan tribes reached the fertile Gangetic plain, where they established a new society that would become the foundation of Hinduism as we know it. The native Indians, called “Dravidians,” were pushed slowly southwards by the Aryan incursions.

The results of this cultural clash can be seen still today, with southern India appearing quite different to its northern counterpart, both in terms of language and traditions. As discussed, the Aryans spoke “Indo-European”, the language that scholars assert forms the basis of all the European languages; from this, many scholars also assert that these same Aryans were the first Europeans as well.

Records of the Aryan invasion are found in the Vedas, the oldest extant body of Hindu literature, written down between 2000 and 1000 BC. Veda in Sanskrit means “body of knowledge.” Scholars believe the Vedas derive from an oral tradition brought by the Aryans.

It is in the Vedas that we first learn of the archaic hierarchical caste system that divides Hindu culture into four distinct groups plus the Untouchables. From India, the Aryans migrated westward into Europe, creating the high cultures that evolved into Germany, Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and so on. Every Caucasian in America who can trace family roots to Europe is a descendant of these historical Aryans.

Thus, before Christianity, most Caucasians in Europe were practicing Hinduism. If the Aryans brought Hinduism to India, and the Europeans are descended from Aryans, as the chronology necessitates, then consequently all European ancestors, at some point in time, practiced a form of Hinduism, with its high spiritual concepts of the Eternal Soul, Transmigration, Karma, Yoga, the Third Eye, and Nirvana.

Hinduism – The Religion Of The Ancient Aryans

We see evidence of this in how the swastika, the central symbol of Hinduism, is visible on ancient European ruins and artifacts:

Ancient Iliou Melathron mosaic in Athens, Greece.

We read in Barbarian Tides, a 1982 publication from the highly respected Time-Life Books library, that “Aryans” (a term used by pre-Nazi era scholars to describe the “white” inhabitants of Europe) introduced “Hinduism” onto the Indian sub-continent before settling in Europe:

“These people, the Aryans, would bestow their social institutions on the Indian subcontinent and spawn a unique spiritual culture, Hinduism.”

—Time-Life Books library, 1982

Writing a century before this Time-Life book was published, William Henry Goodyear (1846 – 1923), a noted American archaeologist, art historian, and museum curator (and son of Charles Goodyear of Goodyear Tires) wrote in his book Grammar of the Lotus:

“…the Swastika was an “Aryan emblem”… The supposition that the Aryan Hindus carried the Swastika with them to India is…perfectly tenable, since it belongs to early prehistoric art of Europe…”

—William Henry Goodyear, Grammar of the Lotus, 1891

William Henry Goodyear was the first curator of
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Around this time, in 1876, we read in the book A School Manual of Modern Geography, written by John Richardson, Vicar of St. Mary’s Hospital in Essex, London:

“Aryan Hindus…in very early times…separating from the great family in the highlands of Central Asia, crossed the Himalayas, descended into the plains of the Indus and Ganges, overran a great part of the peninsula, and introduced the civilization and religion which are now dominant in India.”

—John Richardson, A School Manual of Modern Geography, 1876

John Richardson (1810 – 1888)

In his 1881 book, A Short Manual of the History of India, Sir Roper Lethbridge, a British academic and House of Commons member, wrote a chapter subtitled “The Conquest of India by the Aryan Hindus” wherein he explains:

“The accounts…of the early Aryan invaders…are mainly derived from an examination of the Hymns of the Vedas, the most ancient religious books of the Aryans…

…the invaders of India…belong to a race (called Aryan or Indo-European) which included the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Persians, and most of the modern nations of Europe, such as the English, Germans, French, and many others.

—Sir Roper Lethbridge, A Short Manual of the History of India, 1881

These quotes show the long-standing and currently held academic belief that “Aryans” brought Hinduism into India and then Europe. While Christianity replaced Hinduism in Europe, Hinduism remained active in India.

So the question is: Why is this fascinating history of the white race and religion of Hinduism being censored today by virtually every segment of authority in Western society?

The Forbidden History Of The White Race

Aryan Hinduism is being kept hidden on purpose, it seems. It’s not taught in schools or universities. Not explained in movies, mainstream books, on TV, on the radio, in newspapers or magazines, or by the mass media. The fact that you are unaware of it is itself evidence of a cover-up.

study showing “The Swastikas Of Ancient Europe.”

Even more strange is how whites identify with the Jewish religion, instead of their ancestral religion of Hinduism. We are all taught the biblical stories of Moses and the Ten Commandments, the Exodus from Egypt, the arrival into the Promised Land, the kingship of David and Solomon, and so on. Jewish history has been unnaturally grafted onto the European psyche in a way that makes Europeans identify with Jewish ancestry as if it were their own; in other words, whites are raised Jewish. Why?

The reason is because there seems to be something hidden but powerful in Aryan history that the elite powers who rule the world find threatening. If we trace the Aryan roots back further into the depths of time we hit-upon exactly what this “forbidden zone” is. It’s a treasure-trove of spiritually uplifting and self-empowering wisdom, and it’s based on what we may call the “Aryan / Atlantis connection.”

The Aryan / Atlantis Connection

This Aryan / Atlantis connection was brought into the modern era by the famous Russian mystic Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), founder of “The Theosophical Society” in New York City in 1875. Her magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine, was published in 1888 and had tremendous worldwide impact. Her influence on Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, which is virtually overlooked by historians, completely altered the course of the 20th century.  Note the swastika on her organization’s logo:

Left: Helena Blavatsky. Right: Logo of the Theosophical
Society, New York City, 1875. Note the swastika.

Ignoring the Biblical “God-made-man-in-six-days” concept, Blavatsky asserted the antiquity, primacy, and universality of the so-called Doctrine of the Fall of Man and His Descent into Matter, which forms the root doctrine of much of eastern thought (Hinduism, Buddhism), Greek philosophy, and modern western esoteric and occult circles.

It teaches that beneath the flesh men and women are “gods” or “eternal souls” that have fallen into the “material world” from our higher “spiritual home” in the heavens back to which the soul must eventually return. During its descent, the soul has put on a thick vesture of clothing in the form of a physical body, so that it no longer recognizes its own inner, eternal, and divine nature.

“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”

—C.S. Lewis

“Man is a god in the body of an animal according to the pronouncement of ancient philosophy…”

—Dr. Alvin Boyd Kuhn

“A man is a god in ruins.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

According to Blavatsky, the soul’s Fall is a “leftover wisdom” from the highly-sophisticated antediluvian civilization of Atlantis.  As we saw in Part 1, the Greek philosopher Plato first named Atlantis in the fourth century B.C., referring to it as a now-submerged island kingdom that once flourished in the Atlantic Ocean.

Plato maintained that the Atlanteans possessed a highly spiritual wisdom-religion, which enabled them to “see” their own “soul” inside the physical body. Seeing the “soul within” allowed the Atlanteans to harness its higher power, until slowly their “human” part began to overtake their “divine” part:

“…the divine element in them became weakened…and their human traits became predominant, and they ceased to be able to carry their prosperity with moderation.”

—Plato, Timaeus and Critias

While scholars of Blavatsky’s day had traced the origins of the Aryans to the Caucasus Mountains region—from which the term “Caucasian”, invented by German anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), came into widespread use—Blavatsky traced the Aryan homeland east of the Caucasus to Tibet, the so-called “roof of the world,” where she spent years researching her books. 

The Floodwaters that overtook Atlantis, she claimed, sent Atlantean refugees into high-altitude Tibet, where they remained safe for generations. The Aryans slowly arose here to become the direct descendants and blood inheritors of the Atlanteans.

Interestingly, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804), describing Tibet a century before Blavatsky, tells us that:

“…this is the highest country. No doubt it was inhabited before any other and could even have been the site of all creation and all science.

The culture of the Indians, as is known, almost certainly came from Tibet, just as all our arts like agriculture, numbers, the game of chess, etc., seem to have come from India.”

—Immanuel Kant

Blavatsky saw the Flood myths—parallel legends of global catastrophe after which man and civilization were forced to begin anew—as stemming from a dim cultural memory of the sinking of Atlantis. From this catastrophe a general digression occurred. Not just a cultural confusion of tongues; a digression in the physical Atlantean “race” itself. 

The Atlantean capacity to “hold the vision” of the “soul within” became lost. Only the “idea” of the eternal soul remained—and it is still with us even today. Over the course of millennia, the Atlantean race died out; Blavatsky maintained that the “Aryan” or “white” race arose in its place.

This Aryan / Atlantis history was supported by 19th and early 20th century scholars and intellectuals. The famous Austrian philosopher, educator, and social thinker, Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), wrote:

“The greatest part of the Atlantean population declined, and from a small portion are descended the so-called Aryans who comprise present-day civilized humanity.”

—Rudolf Steiner, Cosmic Memory

Rudolph Steiner

American congressman Ignatius Loyola Donnelly (1831 – 1901) wrote a chapter titled “The Aryan Colonies From Atlantis” in his book Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, where he said:

“Did the Aryan…race come from Atlantis?”

“The center of the Aryan migrations (according to popular opinion)…was Armenia. Here too is Mount Ararat, where it is said the ark rested—another identification with the Flood regions, as it represents the usual transfer of the Atlantis legend by an Atlantean people to a high mountain in their new home.”
“The Greeks, who are Aryans, traced their descent from the people who were destroyed by the Flood, as did other races clearly Aryan…herein we find another evidence of relationship between the Aryans and the people of Atlantis.. the Greeks, an Aryan race, in their mythological traditions, show the closest relationship to Atlantis…We have seen that Zeus, the king of Atlantis, whose tomb was shown at Crete, was transformed into the Greek god Zeus.”

“There is another reason for supposing that the Aryan nations came from Atlantis. We find all Europe… occupied by nations recognized as Aryan.”

—Ignatius Donnelly, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, 1882

Ignatius Loyola Donnelly

During the slow demise of the Atlanteans and rise of the Aryans, which occurred over a period of millennia, two physiological changes or mutations occurred, according to Blavatsky, one of which is very important.

The Aryan / Atlantean “Third Eye”

The Atlanteans were several feet taller than us today, but lost their stature as their spirituality faltered. The second and more significant mutation prevented the new Aryan race from lucidly “seeing” the “soul within.” This left their descendants—modern humans—unable to see or recognize our own inner divinity. Blavatsky believed the Atlanteans once possessed this mysterious ability due to the existence of an enigmatic, luminous organ inside the brain that she called the “Cyclopean Eye” or “Third Eye.”

A strange and beautiful appendage, it is associated with the forehead above and between the two eyes. As our two eyes see outward at material things, this single Eye sees inward at spiritual matters—like the soul. When the Atlanteans devolved into the Aryans, the Third Eye atrophied. Blavatsky wrote:

“…the “third eye” was once a physiological organ, and…later on, owing to the gradual disappearance of spirituality and increase of materiality (spiritual nature being extinguished by the physical), it became an atrophied organ.”

—Helena Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, 1888

Though atrophied, Blavatsky insisted that we modern humans, like our Atlantean ancestors, can still access this forgotten organ; some 19th and early 20th century scientists identified this organ as the obscure pineal gland, described as follows:

“A small…conical appendage of the brain of all craniate vertebrates that in a few reptiles has the essential structure of an eye…postulated to be a vestigial third eye, an endocrine organ, or the seat of the soul…”

—Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary

French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) called the pineal gland the “seat of the soul.” Single “Eye” and “Third Eye” portraits stretch back many thousands of years, appearing in ancient myths, sculptures, engravings, and paintings worldwide.

Readers familiar with Hinduism will recall the Third Eye as having a long history in India, where it is known as the “urna” or “trinetra,” marked by a dot in the middle of the forehead above and between the eyes. Though mystics and adepts often speak of its mysterious occult powers, on a simpler level it denotes spiritual insight, providing one with a vision of his or her inward soul—one’s true eternal being:

Is Aryan Hinduism forbidden from our view to keep us from learning of the Aryan / Atlantis link and from rediscovering our inherent Third Eye powers? Are the elite seeking to keep us from awakening our Third Eye, Nature’s way of allowing us to see our “soul within,” recognize our godhood, and realize our full potential?

The Third Eye is used extensively in the east, appearing in varied disciplines; it is used in meditation practices like Yoga and Ch’an Buddhism as well as martial arts like karate, qigong, and aikido. It forms the pinnacle of Hinduism’s Kundalini Yoga teaching, with its famous “chakra” system; the Third Eye or “ajna” chakra is the sixth of seven chakras and is awakened when we balance our solar “pingala” channel on our body’s right side with our lunar “ida” channel on our body’s left side:

Though Easterners are quite familiar with the Third Eye, its wisdom is totally foreign to the West. Has there been a conscious effort to conceal it?

The “Third Eye” Secret Of The Freemasons

Incredibly, the design of a sun on the right, moon on the left, and single Eye in the middle is featured on the regalia, drawings, and artifacts of the Freemasons, the oldest Secret Society in Western history. The single Eye—i.e., the Third Eye—is usually drawn centered between the sun (pingala) and moon (ida):

Masonic Tracing Board, 1820 

Is the Masonic Fraternity a storehouse of lost ancient Third Eye wisdom from Atlantis? Was the Masonic Fraternity created in response to the rise of Christianity as a way of protecting Aryan / Atlantean Third Eye wisdom?

The Masons have long been rumored to be guarding a blasphemous and heretical secret from Antiquity. Consider the sudden persecution of the Masons by the Catholic Church, beginning in the early 1700s.

“… after the example of our predecessors, we intend to turn our attention to the Masonic society, to its whole doctrine, to its intentions, acts, and feelings, in order to illustrate more and more this wicked force and stop the spread of this contagious disease …”

—Pope Leo XIII, Humanum Genus

This condemnation would seem to indicate that the Masons are heretics, possessors of some sort of religious doctrine that contradicts official Church canon. For many 19th and 20th century thinkers and academics, the Third Eye is precisely that doctrine:

“…the All-seeing eye…This is the eye of freemasonry, the third eye. While I am credibly formed that few Masons understand their own symbols, the fact remains that they use them…”

—Dr. George Washington Carey, The Wonders of the Human Body,1918

“The Order of Freemasonry acknowledges the ‘All Seeing Eye’ as the Eye of Great Wisdom.’ This ‘Great Wisdom’ is said to offer those who seek the sacred mysteries an understanding of illumination, inner vision, and intuitive knowledge. Contact with this great wisdom occurs through the ‘Third Eye’ (pineal gland) located inside the forehead.”

—Dr. Joye Jeffries Pugh, Eden, 2006

“The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the ‘all seeing eye’ pierces through, and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn’t indicate or promise, and which the other kind couldn’t detect.”

—Mark Twain, Famous American Author and Freemason, 1899

“The Great Pyramid is a central occult symbol that is often depicted with the “all-seeing-eye” or “third eye” inside it. In this form it is the symbol of mystical Freemasonry.”

—John Bowlt, Wendy Salmond, and Marie Turbow, The Uncommon Vision of Sergei Konenkov, 1874-1971

“The All-Seeing Eye…also emblematic of the…third eye of the human being…has been found amid the ruins of every civilization….”

—Grace Morey, Mystic Americanism, 1924

Famous Freemason and former Harvard student Albert Pike (1809-1892) believed true Freemasonry represented something akin to the ancient doctrine of the Aryan race—a fact not widely recognized. Pike, a pillar of American Masonry, is best known for his 1871 book, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. But few realize he penned two other noteworthy books that examine ancient Aryan spirituality: Aryan Deities and Worship as Contained in the Rig-Veda, and Irano-Aryan Faith and Doctrine as Contained in the Zend Avesta.

“The world owes all its correct and profound conceptions of the Deity, and its knowledge of the existence of the human soul, to the great Aryan race.”

—Albert Pike, Irano-Aryan Faith and Doctrine as Contained in the Zend Avesta

Albert Pike (1809-1892).

Like Pike, a Freemason and medical doctor named J.D. Buck (1838 – 1916) was interested in the Aryan history of India, Iran, and in Eastern religions in general. He wrote in his Mystic Masonry:

“The real source from whence the Ancient Wisdom came was…Old India, the Mother of Civilizations and Religions, and of the esoteric or concealed wisdom.”

—Dr. J.D. Buck, Mystic Masonry

Dr. Buck also gave a physical description of the Third Eye and connected its “mastery” to Freemasonry’s third degree of “Master Mason”:

“It has been called “The Third Eye.” The Ancient Hindus called it the Eye of Siva…It is atrophied, and therefore dormant in the average individual…The Eye of Siva is, in fact, an All-Seeing-Eye; for it practically annuls Space and Time as concepts on the physical plane…

A real Master [Mason], then, has the Eye of Siva; the pineal gland, dormant in others, is active in him…”

—Dr. J.D. Buck, Mystic Masonry

If Buck is correct, and practicing an Eastern “occult” art was part of Masonic adherence, then Masonry’s forced secrecy in Europe becomes clear. Due to the power and brutality of the Inquisition, as well as its stated goal to destroy heretics, the Masons had no choice but to hide themselves in order to preserve their Third Eye traditions, knowledge, and rites.

Otherwise said, the Third Eye is the “great secret” of true Freemasonry, and the Freemasons were a persecuted sect precisely because their Order was established to safeguard the Third Eye religion of their ancient Aryan Hindu ancestors, who remembered it from Atlantis.

Hitler And The Third Eye

Interestingly, having accepted many of Blavatsky’s ideas, Germany’s occult leaders—who rose to power decades after Buck and Pike died of old age—also acknowledged the Third Eye, and even believed Blavatsky’s explanation of its ancient Atlantean origins. Descriptions of the Eye can be found in the writings of several Nazi leaders. Hitler made an indirect reference to it in Mein Kampf:

“…all the human culture, all the results of art, science, and technology that we see before us today, are almost exclusively the creative product of the Aryan. …he alone was the founder of all higher humanity… He is the Prometheus of mankind from whose bright forehead the divine spark of genius has sprung at all times…”

—Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1925

Hitler’s belief in the Third Eye was affirmed by Hermann Rauschning, the former National Socialist Senate President of Danzig. In Hitler Speaks (London, 1939), Rauschning wrote:

“To have “magic insight” was apparently Hitler’s idea of the goal of human progress…There was the eye of the Cyclops, or median eye, the organ of magic perception of the Infinite, now reduced to a rudimentary pineal gland. Speculations of this sort fascinated Hitler, and he would sometimes be entirely wrapped up in them.”

—Hermann Rauschning, Hitler Speaks

Adolf Hitler

Further evidence of his Third Eye belief is set forth in the book Hitler’s Secret Conversations, a transcription of confidential dialogues and discussions that took place at his headquarters from July 1941 to November 1944, which were recorded for posterity. Hitler said:

“In all the human traditions…one finds mention of a huge cosmic disaster…In my view the thing is explicable only by the hypothesis of a disaster that completely destroyed a humanity which already possessed a high degree of civilization. The fragments of our prehistory are perhaps merely reproductions of objects belonging to a more distant past, and it’s by means of these, doubtless, that the road to civilization was discovered anew…”

—Trevor-Roper, Hitler’s Secret Conversations

Hitler’s belief in the Third Eye proves just how influential Blavatsky’s writings really were in Germany before Hitler’s rise to power. Many of his ideas exactly parallel Blavatsky’s, including the swastika logo, the idea of the Aryan race’s primacy and antiquity, and a highly sophisticated and forgotten antediluvian civilization.

Nazi teams of anthropologists, archaeologists and occult scholars were dispatched to the far East, India, and Tibet to uncover evidence of Aryan history. Their researches formed the basis for the Indiana Jones movies, in which Nazi officers are depicted searching in forgotten lands for lost artifacts and treasures.

Though she had by now passed away, Blavatsky’s theories—she described the “Hindu Aryans” as “the most metaphysical and spiritual people on earth”—had become validated in the eyes of many 19th and 20th century Europeans. For them, it was the “Aryan” who introduced the highly spiritual Vedic religion, Hinduism, to India; and it was the Aryan who dutifully remembered his ancient, ancestral “Third Eye” practice, the natural human organ through which one is put into contact with one’s eternal soul.

Decoding The Swastika

Blavatsky’s ideas reached Hitler and the Nazis indirectly through a Viennese poet and occult icon of pre-Nazi Germany named Guido Von List (1848 – 1919),  according to Professor Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, a scholar of Western Esotericism at the University of Exeter.

Guido Von List (1848 – 1919).

Like Blavatsky, List was convinced that the ancient Aryans had created a highly sophisticated spiritual capital throughout Europe. He credited them with constructing Europe’s unusual megalithic and Cyclopean architecture, based on a mysterious “technique” they had inherited from their Atlantean ancestors, which involved tapping the strength of the “god within” by awakening the “Cyclopean” or Third Eye.

Following the opinion of the Italian philosopher and Freemason Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), who was burned alive by the Inquisition for refusing to recant his heretical Gnostic views, List believed that the Old Testament, upon which the ethical, moral, religious, and social values of the Western world are based, is a false teaching that has covered up the authentic and far richer Aryan Hinduism, a “spiritual” past now almost forgotten.

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) great mind put to death.

For List, the influence of the Old Testament in Europe overshadowed the original Hinduism brought by the Aryans. The rise of the all-powerful Catholic Church then gave European Hinduism its final deathblow. According to Goodricke-Clarke:

“…List was attracted to the ideas of Giordano Bruno…Bruno had proclaimed that Judaism and Christianity had corrupted the ancient and true religion…which had enjoyed considerable popularity amongst the Neo-Platonists of the Renaissance. Bruno also wanted a new dispensation based on the rediscovered ancient gnosis.”

—Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, The Occult Roots of Nazism, 1992

For List, as for Bruno, the Old Testament is not an accurate account of human history; instead, the Old Testament has been superimposed over human history. Because Europe and the West have wholeheartedly accepted the Bible, as if it were the heritage of all mankind (and not just the history of one small group, the Hebrews), Westerners have failed to recognize a far greater history, and a far richer spiritual wisdom—the key symbol of which is the swastika.

The word “Swastika” comes from the Sanskrit “su” (good) and “asti” (being), meaning “good being.” The emblem is formed by crossing two symmetrical but opposing “S” runes—the runes being a mysterious ancient alphabet once used in Northern Europe—putting their two congruent shapes in perfect equilibrium.

Swastika, ancient symbol of the balance of opposites.

List claimed that the ancient Aryans saw in the twin opposing “S” signs of the swastika the doctrine of “balanced duality” (i.e., Sun vs. Moon, Day vs. Night, Light vs. Dark, Hot vs. Cold, Dry vs. Wet, Male vs. Female, Positive vs. Negative, etc.). Blavatsky too believed the swastika’s twin “S” signs symbolize all the “paired opposites” in the material world, much like China’s yin & yang or Freemasonry’s sun and moon:

“The double sign is, as every student of Occultism knows, the symbol of the male and the female principles in Nature, of the positive and the negative…”

—Helena Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine

She explained that crossing the two S’s means unifying opposites or balancing them by giving them a common center—in other words, self-realization by finding one’s center (point in the middle) between the twin “S” opposites (duality).

This is precisely the sacred formula for awakening the Third Eye—the balancing of opposites (i.e., balance of the sun and the moon, of ida and pingala, Boaz and Jachin, etc.). English writer and journalist Perceval Landon (1868-1927), describing his turn of the 20th century travels in Tibet, explained:

“…the swastika…surmounted by a rudely drawn symbol of the sun and moon…marks every main doorway in the country.”

—Perceval Landon, Lhasa: An Account of the Country and People of Central Tibet, 1905

Age (1300 BC – 600 BC). From www.tibetarchaeology.com

After arriving in India with the Aryans, the swastika later moved into China and Japan with the spread of Buddhism (an offshoot of Hinduism) in the centuries leading up to Christ. This is why the Buddha—whose 6th Century BC appearance came long after the movement of the Aryans and the spread of Hinduism—is depicted with the swastika, meditating in the crossed-legged lotus position with an awakened Third Eye (the bindi dot) on his forehead. In other words, by using the swastika Buddha balanced his solar and lunar halves, awakening his Third Eye (“Buddha” means he who has awakened):

The Buddha with swastika on his heart and awakened Third
Eye dot on his forehead—communing with his “soul
within”—the pinnacle teaching of Aryan Hinduism

There is, of course, much more behind the symbolism of the swastika, but it’s basic meaning is to teach us how to find our center within or “god within” and awaken our Third Eye, an act which reveals the fullness of our inner being where all contradiction and conflict—all opposites—vanish, and where the veil of the material world is temporarily lifted, revealing the Self or “soul within” us and allowing us to tap its power to achieve spiritual liberation.

In Conclusion

The origin of the white race is more than just a “taboo” topic for academics today; it is completely forbidden and outlawed. The fact that you know so little about this subject, and so little about the ancient prehistoric Hindu religion of Europe, is evidence of this. A number of 18th, 19th and early 20th century scholars and archaeologists believed that the white or Aryan race is descended from the lost civilization of Atlantis. This belief once formed mainstream academic opinion.

The elite don’t want the masses to understand the historical academic belief in a possible Aryan / Atlantis link because the Third Eye doctrine we will find there removes the Old Testament “God” from the spiritual equation completely by empowering man with the strength of his own divinity.

As you will find when you read Written In Stone, the ideas in this essay are not racist, but intended to spark a curiosity in whites regarding the ancestral spiritual system that they have been cheated out of; indeed white ignorance of their spiritual origins is the great problem and crisis in the world today. All men and women have spiritually and physically the same origin, and mankind is essentially of one and the same essence.
