You sort of pulled the rug out from under our feet. This judicious
statement by Guénon was supposed to be the conclusion of our
presentation of 'Unknown Sources'. Was it what Dr Hakl had in mind
when he acknowledged, at the beginning of the third part of his
essay : "Of course, none of the opinions or facts mentioned here
entitle us to state absolutely that there wasn't some sort of occult
guidance behind Hitler and of National Socialism, even if only on a
higher (or deeper) plane. To discuss this we would have to address a
pure spiritual plane, which escapes historical research". He
adds : "We would arrive at the difficult possibility of a secret
which is so obscure that it is not even known by its bearer."
Naturally, the possibility of a secret that is known by its bearer is
less difficult. Whether or not this secret is known by its bearer,
the fact remains that Dr Hakl draws the consequence of his
premises : "But if we accept that secret and occult forces may have
contributed, even if only tangentially, to National Socialism, we
cannot limit the significance of such 'guidance' to National
Socialism, we must apply the same argument to the whole of world
history." In this reference to "world history" in this context, as
anyone has noticed, there is something of an implicit acknowledgement
of what Evola and de Poncins called The 'Occult war'.
