The Splintering Frame

:
Another curious Nazi Occult artefact featuring Hitler is the 40-page stapled pamphlet, I Saw Hitler Make Black Magic (The Prosperos & Inner Space Center 1973). It was written by Thane, a pseudonym of the American, Kenneth Walker (circa 1900-1989), mentalist, actor, world adventurer, and pupil of the mystic Gurdjieff. He co-founded and, as the "Dean", led a spiritual society named The Prosperos, chartered in Florida in 1956, named after the magician in Shakespeare's The Tempest, and based on Gurdjieff's "Fourth Way School" concept. First published as a newspaper article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer

in 1946, I Saw Hitler tells the story of Thane's bold activities in the anti-Nazi underground during 1937-1938. After his impressive demonstration of thought transmission in Nuremberg, Thane was invited to perform for Hitler, who was always on the look out for effective persuasive mental techniques. Thane and Hitler became friends, and lunched together at der Fuhrer's Eagle's Nest retreat in the Bavarian Alps. Thane relates how the property was a magical laboratory, with rooms set aside for astrology and other occult experiments, especially visualisation, all designed to assure the Third Reich's success. The latter technique involved detailed photomontages projected on the wall, showing what was desired to occur, such as the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, complete with Nazi flags and symbols and Hitler parading through the main streets of Prague. Another showed Hitler in a superior body posture stance, his dominant arm outstretched above British Prime Minister Chamberlain. Teams of highly-trained visualisationist and projectionist magicians sat for long periods concentrating on these image spells of sympathetic magic, regarding the dream as fact, to make it fact.

Thane was eventually imprisoned by the Nazis, had a powerful evolutionary epiphany in custody, and was released soon after.

I Saw Hitler is scarce and expensive secondhand, but it may be reprinted later by The Prosperos, that is still active: www.theprosperos.org

A very interesting snippet.


Here is a newspaper article from 1944 that references Kenneth Walker:

I am fairly certain that Hitler didn't take his own life but escaped like so many other top nazis. The book Grey Wolf provides, what is for me, fairly compelling evidence of Hitler's continued existence in the post WWII years in latin America.

On another point, I remain unsure if Thane's story is actually factual, and I suspect not - although I have read elsewhere that a French Martinist / Synarchist esoteric order, the Polaire Fraternity, used similar visualisation techniques during WWII, - what they called "Chains", meaning chains of three or more visulaizers on shifts, thus unbroken focus, to defeat the Nazi magicians. Who knows for sure?

Occult history and actual history more often than not don't collide. The reasons for this are several, not least amongst these is the facts that many occultists have been self serving and subject to creative story-telling. Also, many occult themes and writers eclipse the actual meaning through the use of fictional compositions that are designed to carry a particular message that can be read by the many but understood only by the few. This secrecy, if you will may not always be conducted for beneficial reasons, but it often is too. It is part of the human condition that a mystery is an attractive thing, psychologically speaking, and that faculty can be activated in us and set us off as a seeker on the path of self knowledge and realisation. And so long as one is not led up the garden path (which is unfortunately not uncommon), the sustaining energy of mystery can be a very good think, I think.

Readers may wish to read the following book by a serious and able historian, Alan Baker, entitled Invisible Eagle - The History of Nazi Occultism, that I have found to be very useful. It is freely available on (unfortunately) a British nazi educational website: http://www.nazi.org.uk., where those so inclined can also order such musical lovelies as "Music Favourites of the Third Reich". But the Baker book is well worth a read.
