When Hitler came to power in 1930s Germany, there was an occultist movement longing for a prototype human figure to change the world. Hitler grabbed onto this longing. He embraced the mythology of German thinking including figures such as Parsifal. Parsifal was a knight searching for the Holy Grail in a famous German play (by Wagner). In the play (and in mythology), a special spear is used called the “Spear of Destiny” (aka Holy Lance). I’m not sure if this is what the Holy Grail turns out to be (in the play) or if it is merely used in attempt to find the Grail. Famously, Jesus’ side was said to have been pierced by this spear/sword. It was rumored to give unbeatable power to the one who believed in and possessed it. Hitler had the real-life spear moved to Germany embracing its rumored powers just one year before WW2 began. He killed himself the day the allies took possession of the spear. In actuality, it wasn’t the allies who took possession but the US. Soon after taking possession, we dropped the atomic bomb solidifying the US as THE superpower of the world. (It’s now in a museum in Vienna). Pause here to remember that the NAM doesn’t wish to destroy and forget the past, but to improve upon it. Hitler embraced Parsifal and the “mysterious powers” of the “Spear of Destiny”, but Hitler was the new and improved version of Parsifal. Hitler was the hero who would rescue Germany with the Holy Grail. Hitler felt a sense of destiny and believed he needed the Spear of Destiny to rule the world. What I’m trying to get at with this Hitler issue is that esoteric, mystery religions influence governments and their leaders. Parsifal was like Germany’s “Messiah.” Hitler wanted to be the manifestation of this “great figure.” The occult (which is a religion) influenced the Nazis (which is a government). See the connection? They wanted to govern the whole world while implementing ideas about “high evolution” such as eugenics. That is, they believed there was such a thing as the best race “Aryans.” The NAM teaches about the need for higher physical and spiritual evolution. There will be more on this issue of evolution later.
Another issue to consider with Hitler and the Nazis was their connection to the Thule Society. If you take a look at their pre-nazi symbol, you may notice something quite interesting. This fellowship was involved in typical occultic, esoteric mystery religions. This included theosophy. How so? Check this quote out, but remember that Madame Blavatsky was the founder of theosophy.
“[Madame] Blavatsky taught that her Hidden Masters and Secret Chiefs had their earthly residence in the Himalayan region.
As soon as the Nazi movement had sufficient funds, it began to organize a number of expeditions to Tibet and these succeeded one another practically without interruption until 1943. One of the most tangible expressions of Nazi interest in Tibet was the party’s adoption of its deepest and most mystical of symbols - the swastika.
The swastika is one of mankind's oldest symbols, and apart from the cross and the circle, probably the most widely distributed. It is shown on pottery fragments from Greece dating back to the eighth century b.c. It was used in ancient Egypt, India and China. The Navaho Indians of North America have a traditional swastika pattern. Arab-Islamic sorcerers used it. In more recent times, it was incorporated in the flags of certain Baltic States.
The idea for the use of the swastika by the Nazis came from a dentist named Dr. Friedrich Krohn who was a member of the secret Germanen order. Krohn produced the design for the actual form in which the Nazis came to use the symbol, that is reversed, spinning in an anti-clockwise direction. As a solar symbol, the swastika is properly thought of as spinning, and the Buddhists have always believed the symbol attracted luck.
The Sanskrit word svastika means good fortune and well being. According to Cabbalistic lore and occult theory, chaotic force can be evoked by reversing the symbol. And so the symbol appeared as the flag of Nazi Germany and the insignia of the Nazi party, an indication for those who had eyes to see, as to the occult nature of the Third Reich.”

The swastika is connected to ancient religions.
