THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

Speaking on ‘.The Right and Wrong Swastika,’ Miss Inghs said this was one of the most sacred symbols history and modern religions have, for it symbolises the creation of the Universe. From the point in space there flashes a line, and the descending power of God cuts it at rh-ht • angles, forming the Greek Cross” then the power of the Holy Ghost causes evolution in ever-changing forms, such as we see around us. Thus this cross containing the divine fire ot God swirls ever round from left to rieht, and the trail of the flames sweeping from each arm gives us the hying swastika going in the opposite direction from the one adopted by the Nazis. Whereas the sacred symbol typifies creation and evolution, expansion. God fulfilling Himself, that of the Nazi Party -•-lifi-'s the exact reverse—i.e.. the endin" of the Universe or the ending of an”age; so that Hitler has unconsciously adopted the, sign of his own. undoing, though it is true his swastika denotes the end of the age of totalitarianism, which is his special forte. Any sacred sign placed the wrong way attracts forces that oppose evolution. In the centre of the atom the swastika is found swirling at such speed that it seems motionless; in the cell of the unborn plant it is seen when the plant is about to live; the seven sacred symbols are seen in the pre-natal life of the child—the point, the line, the circle, tho cross, the swastika, the lotus, and the web of the Universe.
