Chilean Diplomat and Esotericist
Early Career and Ideological ShiftÓscar Patricio Valdés Serrano, also known as Miguel Serrano, was a Chilean diplomat, writer, and esotericist. In his early years, he briefly aligned with Marxist ideology, publishing articles in left-oriented journals. However, he soon became disillusioned with communism and joined the National Socialist Movement of Chile (Movimiento Nacional Socialista de Chile).
Esoteric Turn and Initiation
In the late 1940s, Serrano was invited into a Chilean esoteric order with connections to the elite Brahmins in the Himalayas. The order practiced ritual magic, Tantra, and Kundalini yoga. In February 1942, Serrano was initiated into the order and became privy to its beliefs, including the identification of Yahweh with the evil demiurge and the veneration of Adolf Hitler as a savior of the Aryan race.
Diplomatic Service and Explorations
From 1953 to 1970, Serrano served in the Chilean diplomatic corps, stationed in various countries including India, Yugoslavia, and Austria. In India, he delved into the country's spiritual heritage, searching for the hidden order of his Chilean master in the Himalayas. His book "The Serpent of Paradise" recounts this journey.
Connections and Intellectual Influences
Serrano had close connections with notable figures such as Hermann Hesse, Carl Gustav Jung, and Ezra Pound. Jung's psychoanalytical portrait of Hitler significantly influenced Serrano's assessment of the German leader. Serrano also exchanged ideas with Hesse about the impact of archetypes and mythology on politics.
Post-Diplomacy Life in Exile
During the 1970s, Serrano resided in Europe, where he associated with prominent neo-Nazis. He returned to Chile in 1973 but remained an outcast due to his political views. He settled in the Swiss village of Montagnola, where he engaged in research and writing.
Esoteric Hitlerism
Serrano described himself as an "esoteric Hitlerist," believing that Hitlerism could become a new religion capable of transforming modern materialistic man into an idealistic hero. He argued that it was more than a religion, rather a "path of transformation of the hero into God."
Publications and Legacy
Serrano authored over a dozen books, including a memoir on Jung and Hesse. His most famous work, "Adolf Hitler: The Last Avatar," expounded on his esoteric Hitlerism and the struggle between the demiurge and the Aryan race. Serrano also credited Hitler with magical experiments during World War II and believed in his survival after the fall of Berlin.
The Legacy of an Esoteric Nationalist
Óscar Patricio Valdés Serrano remains a controversial figure, remembered for his extreme right-wing views and unconventional esoteric beliefs. His writings continue to circulate among fringe groups, influencing their ideologies and shaping their worldview.
