    Background to the Poem and Poet that stage managed Hitler into being“Dietrich Eckart wrote a poem that referred to a "Great One" or "Nameless One," expressing his belief in a coming "German Messiah" who would redeem the nation. ““Dietrich Eckart, a significant figure in the early Nazi movement, wrote a poem that expressed his anticipation of a "German Messiah." This poem, composed months before he met Adolf Hitler, referred to a "Great One" or "Nameless One," indicating Eckart's belief in a savior who would redeem Germany from its post-World War I struggles.”“Eckart's belief in a coming savior led him to view Hitler as the embodiment of this prophesied figure. He recognized Hitler's potential as a leader and demagogue, which significantly influenced Hitler's rise within the German Workers' Party and later the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP).Eckart's mentorship and support were crucial in shaping Hitler's political identity and oratory skills, ultimately contributing to the establishment of the Nazi regime.”“Dietrich Eckart's poem about the "Great One" reflects themes of nationalism, antisemitism, and the idea of a messianic leader for the German people, aligning with his broader political and ideological views. His adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" also incorporated these themes, portraying the protagonist as a superior Germanic hero battling against implicitly Jewish "trolls."”It takes a group of people desperate for position and proximity to power to create hell … Hitlers Inner Circle (posted from DUCKDUCK)Key Figures in Hitler's Inner CircleAdolf Hitler's inner circle consisted of influential leaders who played significant roles in the Nazi regime.

Albert Speer Position: Chief Architect and Reich Minister for Armaments. Roles: Responsible for increasing Germany's armaments production, developed a close personal relationship with Hitler. 5.

Shame for sharing and being open as this requires such trust for us.

    Words I read:Unconditional love is a type of love that is given freely without any conditions or expectations in return. It is often associated with parental love, where the affection remains constant regardless of the recipient's actions or behavior.Martin Luther King Jr. emphasized that unconditional love is a powerful force for change and healing, stating that it is essential for overcoming hate and injustice. He believed that love, rather than violence, is the ultimate answer to humanity's problems.M. Scott Peck defines love as "the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth." He emphasizes that love is not merely a feeling but an active investment in the well-being of others.Bell hooks discusses unconditional love, particularly drawing from Martin Luther King Jr.'s work, emphasizing that love is a transformative force that requires courage and commitment, especially in the face of domination and hatred. She argues that love is not just a feeling but an active choice and practice that involves nurturing spiritual growth and upholding values like justice, honesty, and respectBooks:A Gift of Love: Sermons from Strength to Love and Other PreachingsMartin Luther King Jrhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13532185-a-gift-of-love?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=HP0tEsRZyf&rank=4All About Love: New Visionsbell hookshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17607.All_About_Love?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=O4YfHy07GU&rank=1The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual GrowthM.
