Swastika: how the symbol of fascism appeared. Key travel destinations
The history of the Swastika
According to the testimony of some historians, this symbol arose several thousand years ago, when there was no trace of Germany. The meaning of this symbol was to designate the rotation of the galaxy, if you look at some space images, you can see spiral galaxies that are somewhat reminiscent of this sign.Slavic tribes used the Swastika symbol to decorate their homes and places of worship, wore embroidery on clothes in the form of this ancient symbol, used it as amulets against evil forces, applied this sign to exquisite weapons.
For our ancestors, this symbol personified the heavenly body, represented all the brightest and kindest that is in our world.
Actually, this symbol was used not only by the Slavs, but also by many other people for whom it meant faith, goodness and peace.
How did it happen that this beautiful symbol of goodness and light suddenly became the personification of murder and hatred?
Thousands of years have passed since the Swastika sign was of great importance, gradually it began to be forgotten, and in the Middle Ages it was completely forgotten, only occasionally this symbol was embroidered on clothes. And only by a strange whim at the beginning of the twentieth century this sign saw the light again. At that time in Germany it was very restless and in order to gain faith in oneself and instill it in other people, various methods were used, including occult knowledge. The Swastika sign first appeared on the helmets of German militants, and just a year later it was recognized as the official symbol of the fascist party . Much later, Hitler himself liked to appear under the banners with this sign.
Types of swastikas
Let's first dot the i's. The fact is that the Swastika can be depicted in two forms, with the tips bent counterclockwise, and clockwise.Both of these symbols contain a completely different opposite meaning, thus balancing each other. The Swastika, the tips of the rays of which are directed counterclockwise, that is, to the left, mean good and light, denoting the rising sun.
The same symbol, but with the tips turned to the right, carries a completely opposite meaning and means - misfortune, evil, all kinds of misfortunes.
If you look at what kind of Swastika Nazi Germany had, you can make sure that its tips are bent to the right, which means that this symbol has nothing to do with light and good.
From all of the above, we can conclude that not everything is as simple as it seemed to us. Therefore, do not confuse these two completely opposite in meaning of the Swastika. This sign can serve in our time as an excellent protective amulet, if only to portray it correctly. If people will be. scared to point a finger at this amulet, you can explain the meaning of the "Swastika" symbol and make a small excursion into the history of our ancestors, for whom this symbol was a sign of light and good.
Mein Kampf - Hitler's autobiography, where he said that the swastika, as a symbol of the National Socialist movement, was his idea. As a child, Adolf most likely saw this symbol on the wall of a Catholic monastery near the town of Lambach. A cross with curved ends is a sign that has been in wide demand since antiquity. He was depicted on coins, household items and coats of arms from the 8th millennium BC. Then the swastika was a symbol of life, sun, prosperity. Another place where Hitler could see her is the emblems of Austrian anti-Semitic organizations.
Calling the symbol Hakenkreuz (Hakenkreuz translates from German as a hook cross), the dictator called himself the first to create this symbol, although in Germany it was used even before Hitler. So, in 1920, the leader of the Nazis, so to speak, developed the party logo - a red flag, inside which is a white circle, and in its center is a black swastika with hooks. So, red is Marxism, this came after the 120 thousandth demonstration of the left under the red banner. The Fuehrer also noticed how strongly the scarlet color affects the human psyche. In general, Hitler kept repeating about all kinds of influence of symbols on a person, about their meaning. This was to help him introduce his ideology to the masses. When the Fuehrer used the color red, he turned the notion of socialism upside down. That is, so brightly he attracted the attention of workers who were already familiar with the red banner. By adding a black swastika to the already familiar scarlet flag, he, as it were, lured citizens to his side with the help of bait.
Hitler's color is red - movement, white - sky and nationalism, and the swastika is the work and struggle of the Aryans. In general, it is impossible to recognize the full authorship of Hitler in the creation of symbols. By and large, he even stole the name of the party from the Viennese nationalists, simply rearranged some letters. The use of symbolism is the idea of the dentist Friedrich Krohn, he handed the note to the party leadership back in 1919. But in his “ingenious” autobiography, Hitler does not say a word about the dentist.

We will also be glad to see you in our communities on VKontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki ...
However, in the understanding of Crohn himself, red was supposed to become the personification of love for the homeland, white - hatred for the First World War, and the black cross - grief over defeat in the war. Hitler stole the idea and turned it into a symbol of the struggle against the "lower" races. Jews, Slavs and all other "blond beasts" were to be destroyed, the Fuhrer believed.
Thus, the ancient symbol that personified goodness became overshadowed by its use in National Socialist symbolism. Later, in 1946, the mention of Nazi ideology and symbols was banned, as decided by the Nuremberg Tribunal. The swastika, of course, was also banned. Today, the attitude towards the swastika has slightly decreased its degree. For example, in April 2015, Roskomnadzor admitted that its use outside of any propaganda is not extremist activity. However, at the sight of a swastika, the first thing anyone remembers is fascism, history cannot be deleted, alas. It is very difficult to return the symbol to its former meaning after such a serious humiliation of its meaning. Even today, many racist organizations actively use the swastika in their illegal activities.
There is one strange hypothesis that mainly spreads on the Internet, it says that the swastika came to Hitler from Stalin. The authors refer to Russian bills of the period from 1917 to 1923, where a swastika was depicted. Also, the swastika was found on the sleeve patches of soldiers and officers of the Red Army, it was recognized in laurel wreaths, which also contained the letters "RSFSR". As for Stalin, he could have "presented" the swastika to Hitler in 1920, but this hypothesis is too vague.
In order to return the ancient symbol to its original meaning, it may take more than a dozen years.
It so happened that we arrived in the small, relatively secluded town of Rewalsar in the Himalayas already quite late, so late that it was hard for small, sleepy and lazy provincial hotels to bother with our settlement. The innkeepers shrugged their shoulders, shook their heads and waving their hands somewhere in the direction of the night, slamming the doors in front of our noses. But we were willingly, though not free of charge, accepted into a guest house on the territory of a Tibetan Buddhist monastery on the shore of the lake.
As is often the case for Tibetan places, a Hindu was engaged in our meeting and accommodation, since it is not appropriate for Tibetan monks to deal with money and worldly issues. In addition, the monastery had been immersed in darkness for several hours, and the monks should have slept so that early tomorrow morning they had to go to meditation with a cheerful and full of piety face. A Hindu who gave us the keys to a hotel room told us about this and other sorrows of the world, and in order to somehow console himself, he insistently recommended that we attend this event at seven in the morning.
The main topics below are: buses and trains, airline tickets and visas, health and hygiene, safety, itinerary, hotels, food, budget requirements. The relevance of this text is spring 2017.
Hotels
“Where will I live there?” - this question is for some reason very strong, just terribly annoying for those who have not traveled to India yet. There is no such problem. There are a dime a dozen hotels. The main thing is to choose. Further we are talking about inexpensive, budget hotels.
In my experience, there are three main ways to find a hotel.
Spiral
Usually you will arrive in the new city by bus or train. So there is almost always a great mass of hotels around them. Therefore, it is enough to move a little away from the place of arrival and start walking in a circle with an increasing radius to come across many hotels. Lettering "Hotel" in a large territory of India, it marks a place where you can eat, so the main landmarks are signs "Guest house" and Lounge.
In the zones of mass idleness (Goa, the resorts of Kerala, the Himalayas), the private sector is developed, well, like we have on the Black Sea coast. There you can ask the local population about housing and be guided by the signs " Rent"In Buddhist places one can live in monasteries, in Hindu ones in ashrams.
The further you go from the bus station or railway station, the lower the prices, but hotels are less and less common. So you inspect several hotels that are affordable in terms of price and quality and return to the chosen one.
If you are traveling in a group, then one or two people can be sent light to find a hotel, while the rest are waiting at the station with their belongings.
If the hotel is refused and they say that the hotel is only for Hindus, then insisting on check-in is practically useless.
Ask a taxi driver
For those who have a lot of luggage or just look lazy. Or you want to settle near a landmark, for example, the Taj Mahal, and not at the station. Also in large cities there are places of traditional gathering of tourists: in Delhi it is Main Bazaar, in Calcutta it is Sader Street, in Bombay it is also called something, but I forgot, that is, in any case, you have to go there.
In this case, find a rickshaw or taxi driver and set the task of where you want to live, in what conditions and for what money. In this case, you can sometimes be taken to the desired hotel for free, even shown several places to choose from. It is clear that the price immediately rises, bargaining is pointless, since the price already includes the taxi driver's commission. But sometimes, when you are lazy or in the middle of the night, it can be very convenient to use this method.
Book online
This is for those who like certainty and guarantees, more comfort and less adventure.
Well, if you book in advance, then book hotels of better quality and not too cheap (at least $ 30-40 per room), because otherwise there is no guarantee that in reality everything will be as beautiful as in the photographs. They also complained to me that sometimes they came to the booked hotel, and the rooms, despite the reservation, were already occupied. The owners of the hotel were not embarrassed, they said that a client had come with money, and the client with cash did not have enough willpower to refuse. The money was returned, of course, but it's still a shame.
Finding, checking in and staying in inexpensive Indian hotels can be an adventure in itself, a source of fun and sometimes not so fun memories. But then there will be something to tell at home.
Settlement technology
- Free yourself from the presence of "Hindu helpers" and barkers, their presence automatically increases the cost of settling.
- You go to a hotel that seems worthy of you and ask how much it costs and decide whether it is worth living there, at the same time you manage to appreciate the interior and helpfulness.
- Be sure to ask to show the room before check-in, show your discontent and indignation with your whole appearance, ask to show another room, most likely it will be better. This can be done several times, achieving all the best accommodation conditions.
Those who are interested in the energy of Osho and Buddha, meditation and India, we invite you all to travel to the places where the greatest mystic of the 20th century Osho was born, lived the first years of his life and found enlightenment! In one trip we will combine the exoticism of India, meditation, and absorb the energy of Osho places!
Also, the tour plan includes a visit to Varanasi, Bodhgaya and possibly Khajuraho (upon availability of tickets)
Key travel destinations
Kuchwada
A small village in central India, where Osho was born and lived for the first seven years, surrounded and caring by his loving grandparents. There is still a house in Kuchwad, which remained exactly the same as it was during Osho's lifetime. Also next to the house there is a pond, on the banks of which Osho liked to sit for hours and watch the endless movement of reeds in the wind, funny games and flights of herons over the surface of the water. You can visit Osho's home, spend time on the shore of the pond, stroll through the village, and soak up the serene spirit of rural India, which undoubtedly had an initial influence on the formation of Osho.
In Kuchwada there is a fairly large and comfortable ashram under the patronage of sannyasins from Japan, where we will live and meditate.
A short video "emotional experience" from visiting Kuchwada and Osho's house.
Gadarwara
At the age of 7, Osho moved with his grandmother to live with his parents in the small town of Gadarvara, where he spent his school years. By the way, the school class where Osho studied still exists, and there is even a desk at which Osho was sitting. You can enter this class, sit at the desk, where our beloved master spent so much time in childhood. Unfortunately, getting into this class is a matter of chance and luck, depending on which teacher conducts classes in the class. But in any case, you can walk along the streets of Gadarvara, visit the primary and secondary school, the house where Osho lived, the beloved river Osho ...
And most importantly, on the outskirts of the city there is a quiet, small and cozy ashram, where there is a place where, at the age of 14, Osho experienced a deep experience of death.
Video from Osho Ashram in Gadarwar
Jabalpur
A large city with over a million inhabitants. In Jabalpur, Osho studied at the university, then worked as a teacher and became a professor, but the main thing is that at the age of 21 he gained enlightenment, which happened to him in one of the parks of Jabalpur, and the tree under which it happened is still growing on old place.In Jabalpur we will live in a quiet and cozy ashram with a magnificent park.
From the ashram it is easy to get to the Marble Rocks - a miracle of nature, where Osho loved to spend his time during his stay in Jabalpur.
Varanasi
Varanasi is famous for its cremation fires that burn day and night. But there is also a surprisingly nice promenade, the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple, boat trips on the Ganges. Near Varanasi there is a small village of Sarnath, famous for the fact that Buddha read his first sermon there, and ordinary deer were the first listeners.
Bodhgaya
Place of Buddha's enlightenment. In the main temple of the city, which is surrounded by a beautiful and vast park, a tree still grows in the shade of which the Buddha found enlightenment.
In addition, in Bodhgaya there are many different Buddhist temples erected by followers of the Buddha from many countries: China, Japan, Tibet, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma ... Each temple has its own unique architecture, decoration, ceremonies.
Khajuraho
Khajuraho itself is not directly related to Osho, except that Osho often mentioned tantric temples Khajuraho, and his grandmother was directly related to Khajuraho.
Many legends and speculations have accumulated around this ancient symbol, so it may be interesting for someone to read about this ancient solar cult symbol.
In fact, I, who grew up in the USSR, had a prejudiced attitude towards the swastika as to a fascist sign. But is it really so? The swastika is one of the most archaic sacred symbols found among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbols were used to designate calendar signs in the days of the Scythian kingdom.
Many people nowadays Swastika associated with fascism and Hitler. This has been hammered into people's heads for the past 70 years. It's time to fix the situation.
In modern schools, and in lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia, modern children are voiced a rather delusional hypothesis that the Swastika is a German fascist cross, made up of four letters "G" denoting the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes he is replaced by Hess). Well, variations on this theme, Germany Hitler Goebbels Himmler. At the same time, few of the children think about the fact that in German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS), there is no Russian letter "G". I do not know what is passed off as the truth in Western schools, but I am more than sure that there, too, the swastika is primarily a fascist symbolism.Unfortunately, the true meaning of this runic symbol over the past 70 years has been erased by this stereotype. At the same time, from time immemorial, the swastika was an integral part of the Slavic ornament.
Moreover, not wanting to look into the depths of the centuries, you can find more intelligible examples. Not many people remember that on Soviet money in the period from 1917 to 1923 the Swastika was depicted as a legalized state symbolism; not immediately noticeable, but the fact itself. She is in the center.
As you can see, the Soviet power is already 18 years old.
Rest assured, it was no less popular before the stars.
And it was not only on Russian money. Here are the Lithuanian five litas.
They also forgot that on the sleeve patches of soldiers and officers of the Red Army in the same period there was also a Swastika in a laurel wreath, and inside the Swastika were the letters RSF.S.R. And how can I remember when almost 100 years have passed since then. That is, one should not remember, but know.
There is such a hypothesis that Comrade IV Stalin himself presented the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat as a party symbol to Adolf Hitler in 1920. But this can already be invented, I'm not sure.
Well, for balance, the American troops of the 30s. 45th Infantry Division.
And the famous Flight Division Lafayette.
And there were also Finnish, Polish and Latvian stripes with a swastika. If you are interested, you can independently find them all on the Internet.
A thoughtful and not stupid person will always distinguish the swastika painted on the veteran's grave from the swastika in ethnic ornament.
The antics of neo-fascists and just bastards who paint black crosses on the gravestones of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Riga cannot be attributed to ethnic rituals. And yet, for all my uncompromising attitude towards fascism and the results of the war and a rather prejudiced attitude towards the swastika, I decided to dig information on this topic. But since we have touched on the most famous interpretation of this symbol for today, we will also talk about fascism itself.
Term Fascism comes from the Latin "fashio" bundle, bunch. In Russian, the analogous word fascina is a bunch of branches, twigs. Faschina symbolizes something strong, reliable, created from the weak, fragile. Remember the parable of the fingers, which are weak by themselves, and being clenched into a fist represents strength. Or a historical example, when it is easy to break each arrow, but it is impossible to do this with a whole beam.
“The first fascists began to call themselves the Roman soldiers of Julius Caesar who conquered Egypt. an ax, lined with a bundle of rods and intertwined with ribbons, which was called fascina. The symbolism is that around a strong power (ax), through small restrictions (ribbon), peoples (rods) will grow stronger. " (c) But back to the swastika sign runic solar symbol.
We will return to the symbolism of the Third Reich closer to the end of the publication. For now, let's look at the swastika without shuddering or prejudice. Let's try to get rid of the contemptuous look at this ancient symbol of eternal rotation.
I decided to distance myself from the presentation of this topic by the New Russian preachers. It cannot be denied that the ancient Slavic traditions used the solar sign of the swastika, but their approach is very intrusive. In order not to slide in the opposite direction of delusions, let's take a look at the swastika a little wider.
Considering that not everyone can master long texts, I decided to show the collected examples to rehabilitate the sign itself. Let's just pay attention to all the variety of swastikas in the cultures of different nations. This should be enough to understand the essence.
Let's start with the universe. Find the Big Dipper, and to the left of it you will see the constellation in the form of the Swastika. I do not know if this is true, but now it is excluded from the atlases of the starry sky. So they say in the articles. I didn’t check it myself, it’s not that important.
Doesn't it look like a spiral galaxy.?
And here are the runic symbols of the ancestors. There are also many examples of them, and options for interpretation.
And India, where the swastika is very common.
Even among the jungle, you can find a swastika.
What do you think is in the picture? This is a fragment of the garment of an Orthodox priest of the highest ecclesiastical dignity.
Do you still believe that the swastika was invented by the fascists of Nazi Germany?
Do you recognize anyone in this picture? The Russian emperor hurries to his car.
But you are not looking at the king, but at the hood of the car. Found it? The appearance of the swastika at the court of the last Russian tsar is associated with the name of his wife, Alexandra Feodorovna. Perhaps, the influence on the empress of the doctor Pyotr Badmaev was manifested here. Buryat by origin, a lamaist, Badmaev preached Tibetan medicine and maintained ties with Tibet. There are known images of a gamma cross on the Empress's hand-drawn postcards.
"The left-sided swastika had a special meaning in the royal family and was used as a talisman and as a symbolic display of the king's personality. Before the execution, the former empress drew a swastika on the wall of the Ipatiev house and wrote something. The image and inscription were photographed and then destroyed. The owner of this photo was the leader of the white movement in exile, General Alexander Kutepov. In addition, Kutepov kept the icon found on the body of the former empress. Inside the icon there was a note in which the Green Dragon society was commemorated. Strange telegrams signed “Green” were received from Sweden by Grigory Rasputin. "Green", akin to the Thule society, is located in Tibet. Before Hitler came to power in Berlin, lived a Tibetan lama, nicknamed “the man in green gloves.” Hitler regularly visited him. The lama three times without errors reported to the newspapers how many Nazis would be in the elections to the Reichstag. The initiates called the lama “the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agharti.” In 1926, in Berlin and Munich, there are still small colonies of Tibetans and Hindus. When the Nazis gained access to the finances of the Reich, they began to send large expeditions to Tibet, this live communication was not interrupted until 1943. On the day when Soviet troops ended the battle for Berlin, among the corpses of the last defenders of Nazism, about a thousand bodies of death volunteers, people of Tibetan blood, were found. (C)
In July 1918, immediately after the execution of the royal family, the troops of the White Army occupied Yekaterinburg. First of all, the officers hurried to the Ipatiev House - the last refuge of the august persons. There, among other things, they saw signs familiar from icons - crosses with curved ends. It was a left-handed, so-called collective swastika - "amulet". As it turned out later, it was drawn by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.
It is for these signs that the ignorant London reviewers of the film about the Romanovs would later dub her "the fascist Brunhilde", ignorant of the ancient Christian Indian traditions - to leave the swastika where the attributes of a holiday are removed after its completion, so that evil does not penetrate here. The Empress consecrated the house with a "talisman", anticipating the end of the holiday of life ... (c)
And this photo shows Jackie Bouvier, the future Jackie Kennedy, in a festive costume related to culture American Indians.
The geography is expanding.
In India, the Swastika is a symbol of esoteric Buddhism. According to legend, she was imprinted on the heart of the Buddha for which she received the name "Seal of the Heart".
Let's look at the history of the spread of the swastika.
"" Together with one branch of the Indo-European tribes that moved from the southern regions of the Russian Plain to the southeast and reached through Mesopotamia and Central Asia to the Indus Valley, the swastika entered the cultures of the eastern peoples.
It was spread on the painted dishes of ancient Susiana (Mesopotamian Elam on the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf - III millennium BC) - on bowls, where it was placed in the very center of the composition. This is perhaps a typical example when the swastika was used by the most ancient non-Indo-European people. The signs were symmetrically positioned relative to a rectangle crossed out by an oblique cross, denoting the earth.
Somewhat later, the Semitic peoples began to use the swastika: the ancient Egyptians and Chaldeans, whose state was located on the western coast of the Persian Gulf.
If desired, you can even find a combination in the ornament of the swastika and the six-pointed star of Magendovid.
With the same wave of Indo-Europeans in the middle of the second millennium BC. the swastika penetrated the culture of North India. There she successfully existed until our time, but acquired a mystical meaning.
In the most general interpretation, the swastika is considered by the Indians as a symbol of movement and eternal rotation of the world - the "cycle of samsara". This symbol was allegedly imprinted on the heart of the Buddha and therefore is sometimes called the "Seal of the Heart". It is placed on the chest of initiates in the secrets of Buddhism after their death. It is carved on every rock, temple, and everywhere where the founders of Buddhism left their landmarks.
Later, the swastika penetrates into Tibet, then into Central Asia and China. A century later, the swastika comes to Japan and Southeast Asia along with Buddhism, which made it its symbol. "
Together with Buddhism from India, the swastika penetrated into Tibet and Japan. In Japan, the swastika symbol is called Manji. The image of the manji can be seen on the flags, armor and family crests of the samurai.
Along with North America, the east of Eurasia is marked with a solar sign and a Japanese man wearing a manji-decorated helmet.

Here is the swastika-decorated facade of a building in Kathmandu.
And here is the Buddha himself.
At this point, it was already possible to put a point. For the general understanding that in itself there is nothing wrong with the swastika, these examples are already enough. But we'll see a few more. The East generally preserves its history more carefully and observes traditions. Pagoda tower with golden swastika, solar sign.
Another Buddha
Is this not an example of the fact that the solar Kolovrat is not just an ornament of an ornamental character, but a sacred symbol with a deep sacred meaning. That is why we can see it on the Buddhist mandala.
And on the sacred stupa
Modern Nepal
The swastika Kolovrat is depicted on the tusks of mammoths. Under the golden Kolovrat on a scarlet banner, the legendary prince Svyatoslav went to Constantinople, beat the Khazars. This radiant symbol was used by the pagan magi (priests) in rituals associated with the ancient Slavic Vedic Faith, and is still embroidered by Vyatka, Kostroma,
Vologda needlewomen.
In early Christianity, the swastika was known as the gammed cross, until the end of the Middle Ages it was one of the emblems of Christ, it could often be found on Orthodox icons. As an example, the swastika on the headdress of the Mother of God of the icon called "Sovereign". Remember the ornament on the Orthodox priest's festive dress above? From the same place.
According to legend, Genghis Khan wore a ring with a swastika on his right hand, into which was set a magnificent ruby - a sun stone. In the oldest synagogue in Israel, the Swastika is depicted on the floor, although it is believed that the Jews are almost the only tribe that does not consider the swastika a sacred symbol.
The Swastika became popular again in European culture in the 19th century. She began to be used everywhere in ornamentation, as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. There was even an interpretation that the Swastika symbol must be understood as an abbreviation of four words starting with the Latin letter "L": Light - Light, Sun; Love - Love; Life - Life; Luck - Fate, Luck, Happiness. This is its modern interpretation, without signs of a pagan cult.
And here is a very old "fossil" example of a swastika.
Currently, the swastika is depicted on the presidential standard of Finland.
And it can be found on the map of modern America ...
The debate about the origin of the swastika has not subsided for many years. Its fragments have been found on almost all continents in the cultures of Hinduism, Lamaism, Christianity. Today it is believed that this sign originates from the ancient religion of the Aryans - Indo-Europeans. His first images on Aryan altars and burials with Harappan seals and weapons, Samaria bowls date back to the 30th century BC. Excavated in the Urals, the same age as the pyramids of Egypt, has a street layout in the form of a round swastika mandala with an altar in the center.
What did the swastika mean? This is the Aryan symbol of the union of the heavenly forces of fire and wind with the altar - the place where these heavenly forces merge with the earthly ones. Therefore, the altars of the Aryans were decorated with a swastika and were revered as saints protected from evil. The name "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit term "suasti" - "prosperity under the Sun", and the swastika mandala - from the concept of "wheel", "disk", or "circle of eternity", divided into sectors. In China and Japan, the swastika hieroglyphs mean wishes for longevity under the Sun.
In the middle of the 20th century, the swastika became one of the main tools in the confrontation between civilizations. And this was reflected not only in the massive use of the symbol as a "marker" of certain forces, but also in the active esoteric-mystical technology of application. This aspect was dealt with by the special communities of the 3rd Reich, primarily the Ahnenerbe. The swastika was used as a universal tool for contact and remote mental coding of individuals and groups, volitional projection onto a geographic region, the formation of events (of a future given type), etc. Not all manipulations with the swastika gave the expected effect, however, the degree of effectiveness and the nature of its use are not generally known information. This side of World War II still keeps its secrets.
In general, there are a great many swastikas.
But how did the swastika become the personification of fascism?
The party symbols and the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) flag, created in 1921 based on sketches by Adolf Hitler, later became the state symbols of Germany (1933-1945). It is possible that Hitler, when choosing the swastika as an emblem, was guided by the theory of the German geopolitician Karl Haushofer, who believed that the swastika was a symbol of thunder, fire and fertility among the ancient Aryan magicians.
It was Haushofer who owns the expression: "Space as a factor of power", which Hitler borrowed from him. In the view of Hitler himself, the swastika symbolized "the struggle for the triumph of the Aryan race." By this time, the Swastika was already actively used by Austrian anti-Semitic organizations.
At the same time, the Nazi greeting "Ziga" was adopted. "Ziga" ("sieg" - victory) is a gesture of greeting the Sun: from the heart to the Sun by the road of the right hand, while the palm of the left hand lies with the inner side on the stomach, forming a zig-rune. After 1933, the swastika finally began to be perceived as a Nazi symbol, as a result of which it was excluded from the emblem of the scout movement. Kipling removed the swastika from the covers of his books."In the modern world, as before, a special toolkit - graphic symbols - is widely used to purposefully influence the feelings, thoughts and desires of people. The history of the use of symbols is as deep as the history of Homo sapiens. a universal key, a magic sign, having mastered which it becomes possible to control not only a person, but also entire nations How real is this idea?
The answer is related to the answer to another question: what does the world in which we live consist of? For thousands of years it was asked by outstanding thinkers, it remains relevant in the modern world. In the era of antiquity, the idea of hiding behind a variety of objects and phenomena of only a few fundamental principles was popular - the elements: fire, water, earth, air, and the quintessence of these elements - ether. According to ancient teachings, all known objects and phenomena are formed from these substances, and the system-forming process is the interaction of the world of ideas and the world of elements. The world of ideas, in this case, is like "grandiose software" for the Universe. Such an interpretation of the structure of the world allows the materialization of ideas into some monads by means of a special substance - the substance of pure information - capable of modifying any object in the material world. Maybe this is how the meaning of the mysterious "philosopher's stone" should be understood.
In this case, we define information as one of the primary principles, a kind of element. What are the elements of the world of ideas reflected in the form of substance? How will the human consciousness perceive them? Apparently in the form of symbols and signs. Probably, the inner mental space of a person can be represented in the form of living symbols combined into texts. Having at its core one nature - a single world of ideas in the Universe, people, regardless of race, era, language culture, environment, have the same primary symbolic structures in their mental structure.
