Comments on Rudolph Steiner, the Theosophists, and Hitler Q: I am a relative newcomer to The Ultimate Frontier and I am having that experience of, logically, the ideas work for me, but also I have read a book by Rudolph Steiner, The Gospel of St. John, and there is something in there I would like you to comment on. Maybe you could help me work this out. I see it as a conflict in the Philosophy. That is the idea of the Age of Lemuria as being an age where Egos were not that advanced. Some of the things that are mentioned in The Ultimate Frontier seem to conflict with un-evolved Egos in the Lemurian Period as Rudolph Steiner talks about. Could you shed any light on that? RK: Okay. Did he not also say that you could see through human bodies at that time when the earth was not completely formed? Q: Yes he did. Right. RK: That comes from the Shamballists, via Blavatsky, and indeed, Steiner was, for quite a long time, personally acquainted with Blavatsky. He also was an important figure in the development of the Theosophical Society in Europe, from which he later broke as he grew older. But, he was a believer in the so-called root races of man—that mankind had evolved through, I guess we are in the fifth root-race now. I have not paid that much attention to it for a long time, but I think we are supposed to be the fifth root-race of man. I know the first one was around the time of Lemuria. The next point of that, of course, is the thing that Hitler really latched onto one of Blavatsky’s teachings was that all of the persons who were going to move spontaneously to the next highest root race were those of the Aryan/Atlantean blood and that these persons were to become the Supermen of the world and all the rest of the races of the world would not be anywhere near as evolved and would eventually die out. Hitler was a person who was waiting for that special inbreathing of the earth of this new energy which would automatically lift those of pure Aryan/Atlantean heritage to the next level of human evolution. Thus sayeth Helena Blavatsky, given to her by her Tibetan teachers.
