During the war I published a magazine in favour of the Axis, called La Nueva Edad ("The New Era"), and then suddenly I met some SS and a little later my Chilean Master, who revealed to me the secret roots of Hitlerism and "who" Adolf Hitler really was: a magician who had the power to come voluntarily out of his body and communicate with other unbodily beings...
We know that Jung recognized National Socialism as a resurgence of the Wotan "Shadow" of the Germanic folk. Did Jung view the release of this archetype as a positive or a negative phenomenon?
I think that this Swiss professor knew better than anyone else in our time who Hitler really was. In the book of Professor McQuyre, Jung Speakinqs, published by Princeton University Press, three interviews of Prof. Jung on Hitler are reproduced. One is in the Observer of London, another in an American newspaper and the third in the Radio Berlin, at the end of 1938. In these interviews Jung stated that Hitler was possessed by the collective unconscious of the Aryan race. This means that Hitler was the spokesman of the whole Aryan world. In order not to repeat the same, I can tell you that I studied and explained this extraordinary situation in my book Adolf Hitler, the Last Avatara, published in Chile...C. G. Jung compared Adolf Hitler with Mohammed in an interview given before the war.
Editor's Notes: Jung's theories on the collective unconscious lent themselves readily to National Socialist and other volkisch philosophers. Indeed, Jung himself had written,
"No doubt, on an earlier and deeper level of psychic development, where it is still impossible to distinguish between an Aryan, Semitic, Hamitic, or Mongolian mentality, all human races have a common collective psyche. But with the beginning of racial differentiation, essential differences are developed in the collective psyche as well. For this reason, we cannot transplant the spirit of a foreign race in globo into our own mentality without sensible injury to the latter, a fact which does not however, deter sundry natures of feeble instinct from affecting Indian philosophy and the like."
