An Austrian occultist wrote that the Aryan race was deliberately bred by higher beings.
This is the original source of a quote usually misattributed to Theosophy.
In German he wrote that the Aryan race arose not by natural selection alone but 'through the conscious breeding of higher and different beings' — 'Theozoa, Elektrozoa, angels'. The English wording first appeared in a 1974 science-fiction studies article.
It is the plainest statement of spiritual breeding at the root of Nazi occultism.
[
Report #196] **In plain terms:** the primary text for the claim that the Aryan race was deliberately bred by non-human beings — the explicit spiritual-breeding doctrine at the root of Ariosophy.
German, p. 158 (archive.org OCR of the Fraktur, uncorrected): 'Nicht von ſelbſt iſt die Raſſe des ariſchen Volle und Ganz⸗ menſchen, nicht allein durch natürliche Ausleſe, entſtanden, ſon⸗ dern wie die eſoteriſchen hl. Schriften andeuten, durch die bewußte Zucht hoher und andersgearteter Lebweſen, durch die Theozoa, Elektrozoa, Engel u. dergl., die einſt auch hier auf der Erde lebten, herausgebildet wurden.' First English rendering ('the conscious breeding process by higher and different kinds of being'): Manfred Nagl, 'SF, Occult Sciences, and Nazi Myths', Science-Fiction Studies 1:3 (1974), p. 191, note 32. CORRECTION: this is Lanz, not Blavatsky or 'Theosophy', and it is not in Theozoologie (1905). A second Lanz line in circulation — 'the Aryan hero is on this planet the most complete incarnation of God and of the Spirit' — traces to Spielvogel & Redles, Simon Wiesenthal Center Annual 3 (1986), note 57, citing Daim, Der Mann, der Hitler die Ideen gab (1958), p. 180; German original not yet retrieved. Joins lanz_von_liebenfels, ariosophy, thule_society, ahnenerbe; the 'made, not born by higher beings' shape also sits beside engineered_greys_lineage. Studied as object, never restated; name no holder.
