Eugenics and the all knowing

From the Hindus let us take their methods of Self-Realization through scientific psycho-physical meditation...  Let us take the pantheistic conception of God ...  Let us take [the] law of Karm or cause and effect which makes man responsible for his advancement or downfall, and explains why there are born failures, morons and other defectives, produced not by God but by the wrong actions of individuals in past lives. 

Paramahansa Yogananda

This is interesting. 

Of course Mr. Burbank and Yogananda could not have forseen how Hitler and the Nazi's would use this information. Lots of people were fooled by this. It is not like they were all knowing Saints or Avatars or anything like..oh..wait... they WERE all knowing Saints and Avatars...

YIKES!

Peace and Best Wishes,

From Science and Civilization:
Will the growing intelligence of man (Science) forever tolerate the wholesale production of the ever-increasing proportion of idiots, morons, Mongoloids, insane, criminal, weak, destitute, nervous, diseased half-men and women ...who infest the earth to their own sorrow and disgrace and perhaps the ultimate destruction of our present state of civilization?

This article is interesting in light of Yogananda's praises of Adolph Hitler a few years later.
"uplifting guidance of Hitler"

Yogananda. "Christmas message". East-West Magazine, 1933


Luther Burbank belonged to a group of American Eugenicists who actually wrote the research and opinions that lead to Hitlers rational of creating a Master Aryan race.

Mr. Burbank does not say what the Final Solution to Idiots, mongoloids and morons is...but the Nazi's got the memo.

Eugenics and the Nazis -- the California connection

November 09, 2003|By Edwin Blac

Hitler and his henchmen victimized an entire continent and exterminated millions in his quest for a so-called Master Race... The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little-known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing.

Eugenics was the pseudoscience aimed at "improving" the human race...In its extreme, racist form, this meant wiping away all human beings deemed "unfit," ...California was considered an epicenter of the American eugenics movement.
