to India, ... she ... took the name "Savitri Devi" ... . As Savitri Devi, she lived in India ..., where she developed a strong faith in ... Hinduism, which she compared to ancient Greece. ... From this basis -- her conviction of the essential interconnection between European and Indian paganism -- she developed a concurrent unshakeable belief in the rightness of ... inaugurating a restoration of Indo-European Aryan paganism over monotheist errors. ... She expanded her philosophy ... during a later ... stay in Europe, where she wrote The Lightning and the Sun (1958). In The Lightning and the Sun, she outlines ... the Hindu doctrine of yugas, or time-cycles, ... golden, silver, bronze and iron ages ... . She then asserts that ... there are

"Men in Time" (those who belong to ... the iron age or Kali Yuga),

"Men Above Time", whose inner lives belong to the golden age, and

"Men Against Time", meaning those who, as heroes, work against the destructive forces of the Kali Yuga to bring about a new golden age. ...

{Those who work to bring about a forthcoming Kr.ta Yuga would be those residing in the sandhya-ams`a betwixt the end of the Kali and the beginning of the Kr.ta. Because in the Puran.a-s, the 4 yuga-s are assigned to the 4 varn.a-s (from Brahmin to S`udra), therefore the sandhya-ams`a may be assigned to the non-varn.a Hamsa category of humanity (said to be devoted to a universal sharing by all peoples).} {The Epokhe Khruse (Golden Age) is that of Kronos, wherein there prevailed a system of universal sharing (i.e., of communism) : thus these "heroes" are communists and advocates of communism. Thus, Savitri Devi may likely have been a secret communist, intent on inaugurating universal communism via subversion.}

It is as startling and brash a reversal of convention as one could imagine.

{Actually, it is, in Bharata, quite conventional and traditional, especially in Kerala of the Malayalam, where the political party of communism, installed by Bali (who is, according to the Puran.a-s, awarded dominion of a Tala-netherworld [something like a Limbo, as described by Dante et al.] by Vamana [who is similar to god Bes in Kemetic mythology]) hath for thenceforward remained praedominant.}

Savitri Devi died in England in 1982, but her work remains available ... in ... a strong and continuing presence online.

The most important subsequent figure in this outre' religious tradition ..., though, is her successor, Miguel Serrano."

p. 124

"Miguel Serrano (1917-2009) ... is best known in the Anglophone world ... for his reminiscences concerning Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) and Herman[n] Hesse (1877-1962) (Serrano 1966). Serrano was a Chilean diplomat for decades {1953-1970} -- ambassador to Austria, to India and elsewhere. ... Works like

The Ultimate Flower (1983), an initiatory novel featuring a spiritual Master and his circle in the tradition of Novalis (1772-1801) ...; or

his reminiscences of his spiritual quest in Asia, entitled The Serpent of Paradise : The Story of an Indian Pilgrimage (1974); or

his later works in English, like El/Ella : Book of Magic Love (1972) and Nos : Book of the Resurrection (1984) --

these books were published by Routledge Kegan Paul in London and Harper & Row in New York ... . ...

Nos begins with a peculiar ... diagram of a human being, showing chakras, or energy centres in the body; at the top is north, at the bottom south. North is associated with the head, and with Thule, and the centre directly above the head is labelled

"black ... void". Above this is

{cf. Jaina cosmic black-voids?}

"Elella" , and

{>lil 'thing of nought' (Strong's 457)?}

"Elael", and

{a Gnostic deity-name}

"Nos", "ultimate resurrection". ...

{nus 'lift up a standard' (Strong's 5127) -- referring to revival of the black flag of anarchism}

Nos , and

{Spanish for 'us', likely referring to how "the US Organization, founded in the late 1960s ... represented "us" ..., symbolizing unity among black people" ("IA", p. 59; citing FFU, p. 38).}

El/Ella

{Spanish for 'he/she', perhaps referring to the separate governments for men and for women in some traditional West African tribes}

resemble is some respects the fiction of Herman[n] Hesse, or perhaps to a lesser extent that of Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) ... . ... There are admittedly hints of Serrano's full system in his literary works, as when he

p. 125

writes that the Master teaches ... "... of Atlantis" ... . ... A more complete sense of Serrano's counter-narrative became visible in his trilogy ... that commenced with the publication of his book El Cordo`n Dorado, or

The Golden Thread. This book has as its preliminary illustration a ... extended hand, ...

{This golden thread would be the golden-color bussoi "which are formed between the valves of certain bivalve mollusks" ("HSBC"), including by the Conus textile (coneshell), which is able to defend itself against attacks by ("CShH") octopodes -- and octopodes are similar in shape to the so-called "Buddha's Hand" fruit.}

a "cosmic transmitter" of power, ... the means of ... beginning the millennial Golden Age. Serrano tells us that the Master ... "... is an initiate, able to communicate on the astral" ... . ...

Serrano knew Julius Evola (1898-1974), and one can see Evola's influence, and

{Evola most likely was who induced Serrano to fake sympathy for capitalism; and to feign conversion from international socialism to so-called "national socialism".}

with him that of traditionalism, in particular Rene' Gue'non (1886-1951) ... . For Serrano drew together virtually the full gamut of esoteric traditions, synthesizing them into a single narrative. ... Virtually every ... esoteric symbol or reference of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries is roped in somewhere ... -- it is virtually exhaustive. ... He asserts, for instance, early in The Golden Thread (1978), that ... he realized that the "telluric vibration" ... connected the Alps with the Himalayas of Tibet, and that furthermore ... the "Lhasa of the Dalai {b}Lama ... with Shambhala {Ferghana}/Kambala {Kabul}" (Serrano 1978:24) ... also linked with the Cathar mountain of Monsegur, and with Gralsberg, or the Grail Castle. ...

p. 126

The starting point ... is ... the primordial couple Adam and Eve ... said to continue to exist in an "interior land", "Agartha" or "Shambhala" (Serrano 1978:26-8) ... "rejuvenated" ... can be contacted astrally -- to do so is to link with the Hyperborean realm ..., which is in turn allied with ... Thule, ... the Black Sun, and ... the Green Ray (Serrano 1978:62). ... Nor does Serrano shirk at dedicating his work to the Morning Star, Venus, identified also with Lucifer. ...

p. 127

Serrano's earlier works, El/Ella and Nos, introduced his ideas concerning

the integration of male and female within oneself through what Serrano termed "magic love", which entrails the realization of an androgynous inner union ... . ...

{This is a regular theme of Platonism, of Qabbalah, of alchemy, &. &c.}

In any case, the metahistorical scope of the integration of Serrano's ... becomes clearest in the third volume of his series, Manu`, "Por El Hombre Que Vendra`" (Manu` : For {By} the Man To Come, 1991), the most explicitly cosmological of the ... Trilogy because of its focus on Greek and Hindu traditions concerning time-cycles. ... Manu`, Serrano writes, is a divinity-man and primordial legislator that initiates a "new cycle of manifestation" (Serrano 1991:194). ... Manu` means the restoration of the man of the god Wotan, the holder {thus identified with Arthur} of the sword Excalibur ... (ibid., 195). ... And at the centre of this set of temporal mysteries is

"the lost continent of Mu, a part of Lemuria, submerged in the Pacific Ocean" (ibid., 197).

{Whereas "Mu" is the name in Hawai>ian mythology of an autochthonous race of people formerly in occupation of the Sandwich Islands, Lemuria is a name applied by zoologists to the former linked pair (in the Indian Ocean, not in the Pacific) of Madagascar with India (both of which contain lemur-primates).}

Mu is linked to Serrano's native Chile ... .

{James Churchward assigned "Mu" to Burma (where there is a river of that name).}

p. 128

... Serrano's esoteric ... synthetic construction ...is assembled out of ... Hinduism and Norse religion ... . ...

In addition, we should note the illustrations in Serrano's trilogy. ... the second book introduces a few hand-drawn stylized images of, for instance, of "Wotan-Lucifer"; but the third book in the series, Manu`, includes a host of esoterically interpreted Runic hand-gestures that Serrano also terms mudras {mudra-s}. ...

p. 129

In it, we see ... apocalyptic Islam.

Indeed, Serrano dedicates El Condo`n Dorado to Rudolph Hess (1894-1897), whom he terms an Imam" {in the Yarsani tradition}.

{When nearly all the original founders of the National Socialist Party began to be imprisoned or put to death (on account of their sympathizing with the liberal outlook of the Sturm Abteilung) at orders of the Thyssen-Krupp family, Rudolph Hess managed to keep his own liberal sympathies secret, and fled to Great Britain at the earliest opportunity. That Miguel Serrano would dedicate a book to Rudolph Hess would likewise indicate secret working-class and labor-union sympathies on his part as well. He may have hoped to have eventual success in weaning away surviving Nazi-Party sympathizers from any residual loyalty to the Thyssen-Krupp family (who had, by treachery, assassinated the entire S.A. leadership).}
