Today when prominent supporters of the New Age Movement strive towards the occult superman and gurus of sects claim a god-like position for themselves, they are actually following in the tradition of the Russian spiritualist, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891). With her Theosophical Society, she wanted to redeem the world from evil, but her mixture of Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism also contains the racist teachings of the Aryan superhuman. The film follows H.P. Blavatsky's occult path from the Theosophical headquarters in Madras, India, to Europe where Rudolf Steiner tried to extend "her" path when at the same time the Nazis were preparing a murderous apocalypse for the world with their "Redeemer Hitler". Even after the Second World War, the chain of messianic figures who want to favor mankind with their dubious teachings and often go askance of the law, did not break off. Today, on the threshold of the new millennium, the attraction of dangerous redeemers and sect leaders appears to be even greater. Language: German,
