>Oh, it's worth mentioning that another movement derived from theosophy, ariosophy, went on to form the basis of Nazi cosmology. This claim doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Ariosophy was known as ario-christianity by its formulators [0]. Theosophical elements were twisted by the Nazis as were elements of many religions: Christanity(as above), Buddhism and Hinduism (the swastika), etc. That you can find elements of each of those religious systems in twisted form in Nazi cosmology does not mean it was derived from them nor that Theosophists, Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists share any kind of common cause with the Nazis.
