So amazing that one of the worlds most ancient & benign symbols , The Swastika was used in such a horrible , twisted , and perverse way.
The swastika is the symbol for for auspiciousness and good fortune , and was used for countless centuries in India to denote " goodness".<G> Literally the word means "it is well". The cross or + represents materiality , the macrocosm, which can be grasped and reduced to understanding through direct reason.
It stands for "gentleness"....
The right-angled arms off~shooting the cross or swastika denote the indirect way in which "divinity " is apprehended , by intuition and not by the intellect.
Usually associated with the gentle God of Wisdom Ganesha son of Shiva , who is responsible for our awakening souls and progress upon the spiritual path . Ganesha is one of the most universally worshipped dieties on Earth today.
...as if Hitler could some how in his dim , smoldering mechanical, hellish vision of greatnesss , identify with this auspiciousness and try to weave it's good karma into his blind raging powerplay . And people actually listened to his words and cheered.
Very strange things men do to twist the truth , to shape their own evil ends...
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master----that's all."
(Lewis Carroll, 'Through The Looking-Glass')
very strange century indeed ....and people followed along like sheep . I heard once that money from a large Jewish Bank in England helped to finance Hitler's Luftwaffe.
