The Law of Attraction and Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was born on 20th April, 1889,in Braunau am Inn, Austria, near the German Border. He was the fourth child of six. His father, Alois Hitler, who was a customs official.

During the out break of World War I (1914-1918), Hitler joined the German army so he could prove to the world that Germany was stronger than other European Nations. He was quoted to have said “I was overcome with impetuous enthusiasm, and falling on my knees, wholeheartedly thanked Heaven that I had been granted the happiness to live at this time”, when he heard the news.

Hitler liked being in the army. For the first time he was part of a group that was fighting for a common goal. Hitler also liked the excitement of fighting in a war. Although fairly cautious in his actions, he did not mind risking his life and impressed his commanding officers for volunteering for dangerous missions. He won five medals including the prestigious Iron Cross.

His fellow soldiers described him as "odd" and "peculiar". One soldier from his regiment, Hans Mend, claimed that Hitler was an isolated figure who spent long periods of time sitting in the corner holding his head in silence. Then all of a sudden, Mend claimed, he would jump up and make a speech. These outbursts were usually attacks on Jews and Marxists who Hitler claimed were undermining the war effort.

When the war ended in November 1918 with Germany’s defeat, Hitler was depressed and for long periods of time he would not talk to any one. How ever with time, he joined the German nationalist party (Nazi Party) and rose up to the point of being the leader and eventually becoming the leader of all Germany. In 1933, he became a dictator over the whole of Germany. He believed that his ability to give speeches and to evoke the necessary emotions in his audience added to his successful rise to power. As a dictator, his long-term ambition of making Germany into a world power could finally be realised.

Hitler believed that Aryan superiority was being threatened particularly by the Jewish race who, he argued, were lazy and had contributed little to world civilization. (Hitler ignored the fact that some of his favourite composers and musicians were Jewish). He claimed that the "Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end satanically glaring at and spying on the unconscious girl whom he plans to seduce, adulterating her blood with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate."

The result of his actions led to the Second World War and the holocaust were millions of Jews perished in his infamous concentration camps. The war set him against a coalition that included the world's largest empire (the British Empire), the world's greatest industrial and financial power (the United States), and the world's largest army (the Soviet Union).

Events eventually turned round when the Allied forces started winning several victories against the Axis forces. It wasn’t long before they were marching towards Berlin. Hitler's stubbornness and defiance of military realities also allowed the Holocaust to continue. He also ordered the complete destruction of all German industrial infrastructure before it could fall into the hands of the Allies, saying that Germany's failure to win the war forfeited its right to survive. Execution of the plan was entrusted to arms minister Albert Speer, who disobeyed the order. On 30 April 1945, after intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were spotted within a block or two of the Reich Chancellory, Hitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker, shooting himself while simultaneously biting into a cyanide capsule.

Hitler rose from nothing to a great person on this earth; now merely mentioning his name, evokes emotions in people years after him. The question now is: did he practice the law of attraction? I wish some of the teachers of the secret were here to give me their answer.

We are told by the teachers of the secret that we could be, do and have what ever we wanted. Hitler did but did not completely have what he wanted. Very few people do if ever. If Hitler achieved all his heart’s desire, only God knows what would have become of some of us. The so-called secret teachers would not have the freedom and opportunity today to even make such claims.

I believe in predestination. I believe that God is sovereign and once you want to go out of His will for any of His children and His plans for the world, HE finds a way of stopping you. He exists and he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. If you would just read my post on the Ultimate law of attraction, maybe you’d see what I am trying to say.

Einstein was the man of the 20th century. He had his moments. Quantum Mechanics confused him a lot. He has lots of theories that can not be verified and probably never will. The Secret has him as one of the teachers of the secret. He didn’t become, do or have what he wanted. If he did, then maybe his views on quantum mechanics would have been totally accepted as the ones on relativity were.
