Saint Germain's Embodiments  

Ascended Master Saint Germain
by Charles Sindelair


" . . . for learning gives men a true sense of their frailty, the casualty of fortune,
and the dignity of the soul and its office; whence they cannot think
any greatness of fortune a worthy end of their living, and therefore
live so as to give a clear and acceptable account to God and their superiors;
whilst the corrupter sort of politicians, who are not by learning established in a love
of duty nor ever look abroad into universality, refer all things to themselves
and thrust their persons into the centre of the world, as if all lines should meet in them
and their fortunes, without regarding in storms what becomes of the ship of the state,
if they can save themselves in the cockboat of their own fortune."
—Lord Bacon, 'Advancement of Learning'

"Let him (a man) look into the errors of Phocion, and he will beware
how he be obstinate or inflexible."—Lord Bacon, 'Advancement of Learning'

"A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
As much, or more, we should ourselves complain."
—William Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors

Saint German as PROPHET SAMUEL

When the disobedient King Saul rejected the word of the Lord and the Lord rejected him from being king, "for rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry," the Lord sent Samuel to the house of Jesse in Bethlehem to anoint the shepherd boy David, youngest of Jesse's sons, to be king of Israel.

"Behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt."—Matthew 2:13, 14


Saint German as SAINT ALBAN

Alban was a prosperous Roman, native of Verulam, which was for many years one of the most populous cities in Britain. Reverend Alban Butler tells us in his Lives of the Father, Martyrs and Other Principals he traveled to Rome in his youth "to improve himself in learning and in all the polite arts . . . Being returned home he settled at Verulam, and lived there with some dignity." But Alban gave all this up when he became a Christian and was sentenced to die.

The power of conversion delayed Alban's execution. After a river had parted in response to his prayer, "the executioner was converted at the sight of this miracle . . . and throwing away his naked sword, he fell at the feet of the saint, begging to die with him, or rather in his place. The sudden conversion of the headsman occasioned a delay in the execution. In the mean time the holy confessor, with the crowd, went up the hill." There Alban fell on his knees. "At his prayer a fountain sprang up, with the water whereof he refreshed his thirst. A new executioner being found, he struck off the head of the martyr."


Saint Germain as JOSEPH

Father of Jesus and husbamd of Mary, protector of baby Jesus who brought him up and trained in the ways of the avatar of the Piscean Age.


Saint German as MERLIN

Dweller in the wild places, Merlin by legend asked his sister to build him a remote building "to which you will give me seventy doors and as many windows, through which I may see fire-breathing Phoebus with Venus, and watch by night the stars wheeling in the firmament; and they will teach me about the future of the nation." Sounds like a description of Stonehenge? For centuries people believed that the ancient astrological observatory was built by Merlin himself. Scientists say it antedates the wizard by millennia. But who knows how old Merlin is anyway!


Saint Germain as ROGER BACON (c. 1214-1294)

English philosopher and experimental scientist. Bacon belonged to a wealthy family, was educated at Oxford, and later became a Franciscan monk. While living at the monastery in Paris, Roger Bacon began his research of "secret" books and the construction of experimental laboratories. From 1247 to 1257, he devoted himself entirely to an exhaustive investigation of alchemy, optics, and mathematics, as well as a thorough study of languages and astronomy.

He once remarked that the zeal with which he pursued his scientific research was talked about everywhere. Due to his vigorous activity and obvious impatience with those who refused to understand his work, Bacon was brought under severe discipline by his Franciscan superiors. He appealed to Pope Clement IV, however, who requested Bacon to inform him of his projects.

In a remarkably short time, Roger Bacon produced Opus Majus, Opus Minus, and Opus Tertiuma vast encyclopedia of all the known sciences, including his unique nderstanding of alchemy and methods of experimental study. Bacon's doctrine embraced the Trinity as the threefold nature of divine revelation: the Word, the works of nature, and the inner illumination of the soul achieved through seven stages of "internal experience." At the same time, he defined three invaluable assists to the interpretation of the message: the mastery of languages, the knowledge of mathematics, moral and spiritual disciplines.

Wisdom is fulfilled, however, only through "experimental science," which Bacon describes as application of theory to practical life-useful discoveries and inventions as well as "good works" necessary for the perfection of the soul. He insisted upon the knowledge of linguistics for adequate comprehension of Scripture, wrote a comprehensive Greek grammar, and was relentless in his attack of corrupt translations of the Bible.

Bacon's genius lies in his extra­ordinary ability to correlate science and religion. His unique insight led him to see the magnifying properties of convex lenses, the inherent power in gunpowder, and the possibility of aircraft. Many of Roger Bacon's works were written in a secret cipher.

Sometime between 1277 and 1279, Bacon was imprisoned by fellow Franciscans because of "novelties" in his teachings. His condemnation was largely due to his lively critique of theologians and scholars of the day as well as his credulity in matters of alchemy and astrology. His pioneering in the realm of experimental science has won him the title Doctor Mirabilis (Teacher of Wonders).

"It is the nature of extreme self-lovers, as they will set a house on fire and it were but to roast their eggs."Lord Francis Bacon: Essays, 'Of wisdom for a Man's Self'

 


Saint German as CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, Cristóbal Colón (c. 1451-1506)

Columbus' "outer person and bodily disposition" were thus described by Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas, 1474-1566: "He was tall more than average; his face long and of a noble bearing; his nose aquiline; his eyes blue; his complexion white, and somewhat fiery red; his beard and hair fair in his youth, though they soon turned white through hardships borne; he was quick-witted and gay in his speech and, as the aforesaid Portuguese history says, eloquent and high-sounding in his business; he was moderately grave; affable towards strangers; sweet and good-humoured with those of his house . . . of a discreet conversation and thus able to draw love from all who saw him. Finally, his person and venerable mien revealed a person of great state and authority and worthy of all reverence."

He was the discoverer of America aptly named after Saint Christopher, who by legend is pictured
carrying the infant Jesus across the waters. His surname means "re­populator." Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa and as a young man studied astronomy, geometry, and cosmography at the University of Pavia. At age fourteen, he was already a skilled seaman.

While employed as a mapmaker in Porto Santo in 1479, Columbus was privileged to examine charts of the Portuguese explorers who endeavored to find a sea route to the Orient by sailing southward along the unexplored African seacoast. Some of these documents were at that time a state secret. In addition, he pored over the Book of Marco Polo, the Imago Mundi of Pierre d'Ailly, the logs and records carefully kept by his deceased father-in-law who had served as naval captain under Henry the Navigator. Columbus was often seen engaged in hearty conversation with old seamen and sailors returning from African voyages.

Step by step, he conceived the idea that the world is a sphere. His daring proposal for a westerly voyage to the East Indies as finally developed and presented before the courts of Portugal and Spain was supported by theories of geographers, reports of mariners, and actual evidence of unknown civilizations that from time to time washed ashore. Unlike most of the fortune-hunters of the age, seamen and kings alike, Columbus was deeply religious and sought passage by sea to the Orient not only for her wealth but also for the firm establishment of Christianity among the Asiatics.

Columbus first presented his carefully charted plans to John II of Portugal who turned the matter over to a body of distinguished scholars. Although they concluded that his proposal was "unrealistic," the king favored the theory and secretly dispatched a caravel of his own. The sailors soon returned, however, disheartened and afraid. When Columbus discovered the treachery he departed for Spain, arriving in 1484 during a fierce war between Christians and Moors.

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were preoccupied with their military struggle and therefore unable to give due consideration to Columbus' proposals. Year after year he waited, meanwhile taking the issue before Henry VII of England and Charles VIII of France, but to no avail. It was not until January 2, 1492, that the war ended and Columbus received an audience with the queen. The plan was flatly rejected, however, after Columbus impetuously demanded the rank of "Admiral of the Ocean," vice royalty of all lands he found, and ten percent of the precious metals he might discover.

On his way out of the country, Columbus went to Luis de Santangel, the king's treasurer, and announced his discovery of the northeasterly trade winds which would safely and surely carry him across the uncharted seas. Santangel then went to Isabella and convinced her of the vast importance of the mission. The queen immediately dispatched a messenger who found Columbus already on the road for France.

Isabella met with him and hasty preparations for the voyage began. With eighty-eight skilled, but
skeptical sailors and three nearly inadequate ships, Columbus and his crew set sail for the New World the morning of August 3, 1492, after receiving Holy Communion. Long weeks at sea failed to produce sight of the land the admiral had expected (Columbus had correctly defined the shape of the earth but grossly underestimated its size). It was an age of superstition, and common fears included everything from sea monsters to falling off the "edge" of the world.

Ascended Master Saint Germain himself has described how he quelled violent mutiny aboard his ships during that first voyage. Finally at ten o'clock the night of October 11, 1492, Christopher Columbus first sighted land, pointing out a dim light ahead. The next morning he landed, richly clad and accompanied by his captains bearing banners of the Green Cross. When they all had "given thanks to God, kneeling upon the shore, and kissed the ground with tears of joy, for the great mercy received," Columbus named the island San Salvador and took solemn possession of it.

At the same time, the crew who had shown themselves doubtful and mutinous sought his pardon, weeping and prostrating themselves at his feet. When the natives (called "Indians" because Columbus believed he had reached the East Indies) told him tales of the plentiful gold to be found in neighboring lands, Columbus set sail in search of the treasure and for a fortnight wandered among the lovely islands. It was then that he discovered Cuba, magnetized by the violet-flame focus of Lord Zadkiel's retreat.

While further exploring the area on Christmas night, 1492, the Santa Maria drifted into a reef. When the natives of nearby San Domingo came out to rescue the men, Columbus observed their rich ornaments and believed that his search for a land of gold was ended. There he founded his first colony, La Navidad, and built a fort from the remains of the sunken ship, placing its crew of forty-four in charge.

On January 4, 1493, Columbus and the remaining men departed for home. Along the way, they encountered a violent storm which quickly subsided after the crew implored the assistance of Mother Mary and drew lots to see who would make a pilgrimage to her shrines. On March 4, the Nina dropped anchor off Palos. Columbus proceeded to Barcelona in a sort of triumphal procession and was received by the king and queen in full court where he related his fantastic story.

A second expedition was immediately prepared to secure and extend discoveries already made. The new party set sail on September 28. Upon his return to La Navidad, Columbus found that one third of the 300,000 inhabitants of the island had been killed in struggles between Indians and
Spaniards. Columbus restored partial peace with the Indians who had been unjustly treated, rebuilt the fort, and proceeded to explore the islands from Cuba to Jamaica.

During this time, however, he became exhausted by the physical and mental strain of his expeditions. In these trying times, he wrote in his journal that he was thirty-three days practically without sleep. Columbus lay ill for five months, during which time he entered into deep communion with God. Thereafter, he was met by a royal commission who acted in harsh judgment of his administration.

Columbus, dressed as a Franciscan, was sent home in 1496 but was cordially received by his sovereigns. In 1502 he appealed for a third voyage and was quickly granted support. Returning to La Navidad, he again found that affairs had not prospered well in his absence, and so displeasing were the reports now brought before Ferdinand and Isabella by returning colonists that the king and queen appointed a royal representative to take Columbus' charge. He stood accused of severity, injustice, even of venality and was finally shipped back to Spain, bound in chains as a criminal.

In the meantime, however, Queen Isabella had received a heartbroken and indignant letter written
by Columbus to an associate, explaining the events in La Navidad in his own terms. Upon counsel with his majesties, the admiral's property and office was restored. During his fourth voyage, Columbus' ships ran aground in a small inlet on the island of Jamaica. Columbus and crew were received with great kindness by the natives, who provided them with food for more than a year while they awaited assistance. After that time, the admiral suffered much from disease and from the lawlessness of his crew, who incited mutiny and alienated the natives, provoking them to withhold customary supplies.

Columbus restored their trust by "miraculously" predicting the eclipse of the moon thereby proving
his favor with heavenly powers. Upon his safe return to Spain, Columbus was again well received, although his health was rapidly failing. He passed on in May 1506, uttering the words: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit."

SAINT GERMAIN as Francis Bacon

Britain's greatest intellect, Francis Bacon fathered inductive reasoning and the modern scientific method, conducted experiments of his own, shepherded a group of the Elizabethan era's greatest writers, oversaw the translation of the King James Version of the Bible, supported the colonization of the New World and Newfoundland and even, some say, authored the Shakespearian plays.

Bacon’s literal cipher has likewise revealed the inner teachings of the Brotherhood, the secrets of mysticism written in the “sacred language” of the hidden cipher understood only by advanced initiates, including those in the early Masonic Order. While in France, Bacon studied secret diplomacy and worked with an underground literary society called the Pleiades whose goal was the refinement of the French language. After three years, he returned to Britain with the intent of founding similar societies for the perfection of the English language and with the hope of diplomatically winning his rightful place as heir to the throne.

Following his study of law at Grey’s Inn, Bacon served as a barrister in Parliament and wrote “A Letter of Advice” to Queen Elizabeth in which he reveals remarkable political judgment. But Elizabeth denied Bacon even mere recognition, slighting him before her court and deliberately refusing him positions of authority. Therefore, Bacon resolved, “I will take all of learning to be my province.” To historians ignorant of the relationship of Bacon and the queen, her disparaging treatment of him was unexplainable and prompted much of the literary investigation. Upon the passing of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, however, King James I appointed Francis Bacon to succeeding high positions, eventually awarding him the Lord Chancellorship and the titles Baron Verulam and Viscount St. Albans.

His fame increased by the publication in 1620 of his most celebrated work Novum Organum, the “New Instrument,” in which Bacon presents a series of syllogisms representing his inductive method and establishing his famous classification of the “Idols” of the human mind which prohibit the understanding of divine truth. He defines the “Idols of the Tribe” as inherent limitations of the mortal mind, “Idols of the Cave” caused by human prejudice, “Idols of the Market Place” arising from man’s inexactness in the use of language, and “Idols of the Theatre” perpetuated in various fallacious systems of thought. Bacon’s numerous philosophical works, including Novum Organum and De Augmentis Scientiarum, form integral parts of a grand comprehensive scheme for the restoration of wisdom—the Instauratio Magna, the “Great Plan.”

Francis Bacon translated the King James version of the Bible. His Essays are what he called “dispersed meditations” on friendship, love, wealth, studies, honor, and other fundamental graces of life. These witty, pithy statements have become popular mottos and perhaps the most familiar of his writings. De Sapientia Veterum is a brilliant allegorical interpretation and scientific explanation of the inner truths found in Greek mythology. Bacon founded a secret literary society in England known as the Helmet Bearers. (Their patroness Pallas Athena was often pictured wearing a helmet and full armor in her defense of truth. The traditions of ancient Greece depict her standing atop her majestic temple, holding a golden spear which, when glinted upon by the dawning sun, appeared to tremble. She is therefore known as the “shaker of the spear” and thus the Shakespearean plays truly received their name.)

Francis Bacon sponsored the early society of the Rosy Cross, the Rosicrucian Order, and was instrumental in founding the Masonic Order. From his famous New Atlantis, the Masons derive their heritage of the House of Solomon and the Masonic tradition of America as the Promised Land where golden-age culture and science will rise again. Later in 1620, fierce jealousy of Bacon’s literary and political success by members of Parliament resulted in his accusation of graft, later proven unjust. Bacon resigned his positions and spent the remaining years of his recorded life completing other valuable works, including the History of Henry the VII and his famous Apophthegms.

In 1626, he feigned a “philosophic death” and attended his own funeral in disguise. Thereafter, he moved to the Rakoczy Mansion, located in the Carpathian foothills of Transylvania where Saint Germain, prior to the sinking of Atlantis, transported the flame of freedom from the Temple of Purification. There he took his final initiations under the Great Divine Director, his guru. Saint Germain won his ascension on May 1, 1684, after having made, as he once commented, “two million right decisions” during hundreds of thousands of years of service on behalf of earth and her evolutions.


SAINT GERMAIN as Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was Lord Chancellor of England, statesman, essayist, the "father of inductive science." His contemporaries believed that he was the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Keeper of the Great Seal of England during the reign of Elizabeth I. In the nineteenth century, however, the complete story of his life began to unfold when the first volumes of the famed "Bacon-Shake­speare controversy" appeared and Francis Bacon emerged as the brilliant author whose sonnets, poems, and plays still remain the most cherished of all English literature.

The idea that the "Shakespearean" plays were not the work of William Shakespeare has been the subject of scores of books, first based on the obvious disparity between the magnificent work and the somewhat obscure character of Shakespeare-a common actor with insufficient learning, the son of a small provincial tradesman at Stratford-on-Avon.

In contrast, the plays exhibit the genius of one with extensive education in language and literature, thorough knowledge of law, history, and politics, firsthand experience in the high courts of Europe, and unquestioning familiarity with the manners and speech of royalty-requirements so aptly met by Lord Bacon. Following another less speculative method of investigation, literary scholars late in the century discovered within the "Shakespearean" works a strange and secret tragedya drama within a drama-written in intricate cipher.

Step-by-step, amazed crypto­graphers deciphered the concealed history of Elizabethan England and with it the true identity of Francis Bacon as the rightful heir to the English throne, the fils naturel of Queen Elizabeth and Lord Leicester. Francis was given over at birth to Sir Nicholas and his Puritan wife Lady Anne, who was present at the royal birth and, it is believed, pleaded for the life of the infant. Elizabeth, the daughter born to Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, inherited her father's tyrannical nature.

Having been rejected as a child, she constantly feared that her subjects privately sought a king in her stead and was always careful, therefore, to maintain absolute dominion over her court, her advisors, even her son. Although later historical documents hint at a secret marriage, such a remark heard by the queen herself often resulted in imprisonment or death. Thus the true account of her reign is revealed perhaps solely in the coded writings of Francis Bacon.

His childhood with Nicholas and good Lady Anne was spent happily and at age twelve he entered Cambridge, mysteriously funded by the queen herself. At age fifteen, however, Bacon unexpectedly left the university on a secret mission for the Crown. At this point it is believed that Francis discovered his true identity and was therefore hastily sent abroad by the queen for the purpose of setting him at a comfortable distance to her throne.

Nevertheless, he was entrusted with the vital mission of studying the cipher-codes of Europe and developing new formulas for the protection of confidential information in England. Lord Bacon later recorded his understanding of literary science in De Augmentis Scientiarum, the Advancement of Learning, from which early cryptographers derived the formula for his work.

Bacon's literal cipher has likewise revealed the inner teachings of the Brotherhood, the secrets of mysticism written in the "sacred language" of the hidden cipher understood only by advanced initiates, including those in the early Masonic Order. While in France, Bacon studied secret diplomacy and worked with an underground literary society called the Pleiades whose goal was the refinement of the French language.

After three years, he returned to Britain with the intent of founding similar societies for the perfection of the English language and with the hope of diplomatically winning his rightful place as heir to the throne.

Saint Germain, The Knight Commander
Keepers of the Flame Fraternity
by Norman Thomas Miller
 


SAINT GERMAIN as Prince Rakoczy, the Comte de Saint Germain, and the "Wonderman of Europe."

Upon his ascension from the Rakoczy Mansion in 1684, Ascended Master Saint Germain entered the Great Silence (nirvana) where his beloved twin flame Portia, the Goddess of Justice—whose name he had inscribed in The Merchant of Venice—had long been waiting his return. Not long thereafter, the beloved Sanctus Germanus was given the dispensation by the Lords of Karma to function in the world of form as an ascended being having the appearance of an unascended being.

During this period, historians who have studied the life of the Wonderman of Europe have speculated that he was Prince Rakoczy, of the royal house of Hungary, which for centuries fought to maintain independence and religious liberty in Transylvania against the fierce attack of the Turks and the relentless invasion of the Hapsburg's powerful Austrian army.

Ferencz Rákóczi I (1645-1676) was killed in the bitter stuggles of the Hungarian Patriot Movement and upon his death the widowed pincess, his children, and all their properties were seized by the Austrian emperor. In March, 1688, arrangements were made for his son Ferencz II (Francis Leopold Rakoczy) to be brought up in the Court of Vienna. When he came of age, the young prince regained his estate, although with considerable regulations and limitations.

After his marriage in 1694, Ferencz II began to incite anew the fight for freedom in the small but exceedingly powerful and wealthy province of Transylvania. With the military assistance of Louis XIV of France, he waged several successful campaigns against both the Austrians and the Turks. In 1697, however, France withdrew her support and Ferencz II was forced to leave his wife and sons and take refuge in Poland.

He then traveled to both France and Turkey in an attempt to regain support for his revolutionary cause, but to no avail. Transylvania was again captured by the Hapsburg government and two of the Rakoczy sons were forced to abandon their name and take the Austrian catholic names St. Karl and St. Elizabeth. In one account concerning the mysterious "third son," Prince Karl of Hesse writes: "[Saint Germain] told me that . . . he was the son of Prince Ragoczy of Transylvania by his first wife, Tékéli.

He was placed, when quite young, under the care of the last Duc de Medici (Gian Gastone) . . . When M. de St. Germain learned that his two brothers, sons of the Princess of Hesse-Wahnfried (Rheihfels), had become subject to the Emperor Charles VI and had received the titles and names St. Karl and St. Elizabeth, he said to himself: 'Very well, I will call myself Sanctus Germano, the Holy Brother [Latin Sanctus Germanus].'"

Saint Germain has neither confirmed nor denied whether, as the Wonderman of Europe, he chose to actually embody in the family of Ferencz II or whether he simply materialized a body and made
it appear that he had descended through the royal house of Hungary, using the name and identity as a convenient disguise. It is not important to know which alternative he chose but to know that,
as an ascended master, he could have chosen either one or both, since an ascended master may occupy any number of 'bodies', i.e. forcefields, simultaneously in order to accomplish his mission on earth.

Note that during the period of his seeming ubiquitousness in Europe, he played an energetic
and principal role in the American Revolution. The question may well be asked, where has the Master's presence not been felt in the universal movement for freedom which has taken place in the centuries leading up to the Aquarian dispensation? Throughout the courts of eighteenth century Europe, he was known as the Comte de Saint Germain. He appeared, disappeared, and reappeared in and out of royal circles with his outstanding quality of realism in an age that was closing in upon itself by the weight of its own hypocrisy.

Voltaire aptly described him in a letter to Frederick II of Prussia as "a man who never dies and who knows everything." The archives of France contain evidence that English, Dutch, and Prussian statesmen of his time regarded the Count as an authority in many fields. He was hated by some while loved and held in awe by others. As one of his friends said, "He was, perhaps, one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived . . . His heart was concerned only with the happiness of others."

The master alchemist spoke French, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian so fluently that he was accepted as a native wherever he went. According to a contemporary account, "the learned and the oriental scholars have proved the knowledge of the Count St. Germain. The former found him more apt in the languages of Homer and Virgil than themselves; with the latter he spoke Sanscrit, Chinese, Arabic in such a manner as to show them that he had made some lengthy stay in Asia."

The Comte de Saint Germain composed, improvised, accompanied on piano without music "not only every song but also the most difficult concerti, played on various instruments," and played the violin "like an orchestra." His compositions remain today in the British Museum and the library of the castle of Raudnitz in Bohemia. He painted in oils with colors of gemlike brilliance, a "secret" which he himself discovered.

It is said that from 1737 to 1742, Saint Germain was at the Court of the Shah of Persia, there exhibiting his extraordinary knowledge of precipitating and perfecting precious stones, particularly diamonds. According to the memoirs of Madame du Hausset, Saint Germain once removed a flaw from a large diamond which belonged to King Louis XV. In his alchemical laboratory at the Royal Chateau at Chambord, Saint Germain was attended by a group of learned and noble students.

The Count is described by Graf Cobenzl in a letter dated 1763: "Possessing great wealth, he lives in the greatest simplicity; he knows everything, and shows an uprightness, a goodness of soul, worthy of admiration. Among a number of his accomplishments, he made, under my own eyes, some experiments, of which the most important were the transmutation of iron into a metal as beautiful as gold."

The Comte de Saint-Germain thoroughly understood the use of herbs and plants and discovered medicines and elixirs to prolong life and maintain health. Many of his demonstra­tions of mastery are described in the diaries of Mme. d'Adhemar, who knew him for at least half a century. She records Saint Germain's visits to herself and to the courts of Louis XV and Louis XVI, noting in his glowing face the appearance of a man in his early forties throughout the period. She mentions a personal conversation with the Count in 1789 in which he appeared "with the same countenance as in 1760."

In the same conversation he predicted the Revolution of 1789, the fall of the House of Bourbon, and the course of modern French history. Introducing the science of modern diplomacy, he carried out many secret diplomatic missions for the king to the courts of Europe. Had Saint Germain's counsel been heeded by Louis XVI, it would have prevented the French Revolution. Later Saint Germain sought to establish a United States of Europe through Napoleon (1799-1815), who
failed his initiation and misused the master's power to his own demise.

For more information, see The Count of Saint Germain by Isabel Cooper-Oakley available from The Summit Lighthouse, paperback, $2.50 postpaid. Speaking of his efforts in the 18th century, Saint Germain said, "Having failed in securing the attention of the Court of France and others
of the crowned heads of Europe, I turned myself to the perfectionment of mankind at large, and I recognized that there were many who, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, would indeed be filled with the concept of a perfect union which would inspire them to take dominion over the New World and create a union among the sovereign states. Thus the United States was born as a child of my heart and the American Revolution was the means of bringing freedom in all of its glory into manifestation from the East unto the West."



SAINT GERMAIN, Ascended Master of the Aquarian Age, Sponsor of the United States of America.

In 1775, a committee appointed by the Continental Congress (including Franklin, Lynch, and Harrison) met with Gen. Washington and a "mysterious old professor" in Cambridge, Mass. to recommend a plan for the American flag. In this disguise, Saint Germain revealed his design for a flag with a variable field of starsa prophecy of the continual unfoldment of the vast destiny of the new nation.

Saint Germain broke the deadlock at Independence Hall with his "Sign that document!" shouted from the balcony. It was 5:00 p.m., July 4, 1776. The delegates signed the Declaration of Independence, and when they looked up to thank him, the "mysterious stranger" had come and gone. Saint Germain stood by George Washington throughout the Revolution and during the long winter at Valley Forge. He inspired and directed the writing of the Constitution and anointed George Washington first president of the United States.

In the early 1930s, Saint Germain contacted his "general in the field," the reembodied George Washington, Guy W. Ballard, whom he trained as a messenger for hierarchy and through whom he released the dispensation of the violet-flame energy of the Holy Spirit. Soon after, El Morya
undertook the training of the Messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, who were anointed by Saint Germain and called by the Darjeeling Council to establish The Summit Lighthouse as the open door for the release of the teachings of the ascended masters and the establishment of the Community of the Holy Spirit in the Aquarian age.

Following the ascension of Mark Prophet in 1973, Elizabeth Clare Prophet remains the embodied messenger for Saint Germain and the ascended masters. Today Saint Germain uses Summit University, sponsored by Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha, to present his teachings on alchemy. With the World Teachers Jesus and Kuthumi, he is working with children preschool through twelfth grade at Montessori International.

Saint Germain sponsored the founding of the Boy and Girl Scouts through Lord Baden-Powell and Juliette Gordon Low. Within Church Universal and Triumphant, Saint Germain represents the Father, Mary, the Mother, and Jesus, the Christ, the Son. In lectures and seminars throughout America and abroad, Elizabeth Clare Prophet initiates chelas of Saint Germain on the path of soul liberation.

It is the prayer of devotees of the Great Alchemist that many chelas will come forth so that Saint Germain will once again receive the dispensation from the Lords of Karma to step through the veil as he did as the Wonderman of Europe. To this end, Keepers of the Flame dedicate their energies in the giving of dynamic decrees to the violet flame in the science of the spoken Word. For them, Saturday night is world service to Saint Germain for personal and planetary freedom for earth's evolutions.

Until Saint Germain and other members of the Great White Brotherhood step physically through the veil, they will continue to "step through" their embodied messengers, delivering their dictations,
transferring their energy from Spirit to Matter, and initiating souls on the path of the ascension.

Saint Germain won his ascension on May 1, 1684, after having made, as he once commented, "two million right decisions" during hundreds of thousands of years of service on behalf of earth and her evolutions.

 

After his ascension in 1684, Saint Germain was given the dispensation by the Lords of Karma to return to earth and manifest in a physical body. The Comte de Saint Germain appeared throughout the 18th-century courts as the “Wonderman of Europe.” His goal: to prevent the French Revolution and establish a United States of Europe. Though the royalty admired his miraculous accomplishments and were always willing to be entertained by him, they were not easily prodded to relinquish their power and move with the winds of republican change.

They and their jealous ministers ignored his counsel, and the French Revolution ensued. In a final attempt to unite Europe, Saint Germain backed Napoleon, who misused the Master’s power to his own demise. The opportunity to set aside the retribution due an age had thus passed and Saint Germain was forced to withdraw. Of his experiment on the continent, Saint Germain once said: “Having failed in securing the attention of the Court of France and others of the crowned heads of Europe, I turned myself to the perfectionment of mankind at large, and I recognized that there were many who, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, would indeed be filled with the concept of a perfect union which would inspire them to take dominion over the New World and create a Union among the sovereign states.

Thus the United States was born as a child of my heart and the American Revolution was the means of bringing freedom in all of its glory into manifestation from the East unto the West.”
Saint Germain stood by George Washington throughout the Revolution and during the long
winter at Valley Forge. He inspired and directed the writing of the Constitution and anointed ashington first president of the United States. In the latter 19th century, he assisted the Masters M. (El Morya), K.H. (Koot Hoomi), and Serapis Bey in the founding of the Theosophical Society. In this century, Saint Germain went before the Lords of Karma to plead the cause of freedom for and on behalf of earth’s evolutions.

He offered the momentum of the violet flame garnered within his heart chakra and causal body as a momentum of light energy to be given mankind that they might experiment with the alchemy of self-transformation through the sacred fire. Though the knowledge of the violet flame had never been given outside the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood, the Lords of Karma agreed to release it to a certain nucleus of devotees, and if the experiment proved successful they would illumine the masses as to its use. In the early 1930s, Saint Germain contacted his “general in the field,” the reembodied George Washington, Guy W. Ballard, whom he trained as his Messenger.

Through Guy and Edna Ballard, he founded the I AM movement and released the dispensation of the violet flame. When mankind en masse failed to respond, the Lords of Karma told Saint Germain they would not give him “another allotment of energy for mankind to take and to dissipate and to waste.” In Saint Germain’s own words, “after seventy thousand years of sponsoring various endeavors for the enlightenment and the freedom of mankind . . . my wings were clipped. And I had but to stand and hope that some other hierarch would come forth to implore a dispensation of Light for humanity, for souls of Light.”

In 1958, El Morya, on Saint Germain’s behalf, founded The Summit Lighthouse for the release and publication of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and the establishment of the Community of the Holy Spirit in the Aquarian age. Saint Germain anointed Mark and Elizabeth Prophet as his Messengers and sponsored the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity. Mark L. Prophet ascended Feb. 26, 1973, and Elizabeth Clare Prophet remained as the embodied Messenger. On Sept. 3, 1973, Saint Germain announced:

"As a result of the swelling of the Lightbearers and the swelling of the ranks of students of Light united in this activity, as a result of the expansion of the Mother flame through the Ascended Master University [Summit University] and the Community of the Holy Spirit and these endeavors in which you are jointly engaged for the victory of the Light, I have been given again a dispensation from the Lords of Karma! Thus I may once again step forth and pledge to you the energies of my causal body for the freedom and the victory of the Light in this age!”

On Jan. 1, 1981, mindful of Saint Germain’s long-standing desire for a stronghold of Light in Europe, Archangel Jophiel and Christine announced a dispensation for the reversing of cataclysm and war there. July 29 to Aug. 1, 1981, the Messenger conducted a conference in Ellecom, Holland, once again anchoring physically in Europe the causal body and flame of the Master, who extended to devotees of freedom in Europe a final opportunity “to form a ring of light, a union indivisible, indispensable to our Cause.” (See also: dictations given in Flevohof, Holland, 1986 Pearls of Wisdom, nos. 1-4.)

On July 1, 1984, Arcturus and Victoria announced the beginning of a 72-week vigil to “create anew an original leaven, a momentum of freedom which will give to Saint Germain the balance for all of those endeavors for which he has secured grants from the Karmic Board in the last 400 years . . . That culmination of your service in the 72 weeks for planet earth can lay before the Lords of Karma, through the violet flame, through your invocations, the paying of the last farthing of all that has become the debt of Saint Germain,” who therefore will “once again be permitted to go before not only the Lords of Karma but the Great Central Sun for a brand-new dispensation of Light.”

In February-March 1985, the Messenger and her Stump Team carried Saint Germain’s message for the Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness to Australia, the Philippines and Hawaii. On Oct. 13, 1985, two days before the Messenger’s departure for her Stump to Europe, Canada, and New York, Saint Germain blessed the Team and said: “If you so multiply my Presence as I would and as I have taught you, so you shall earn for me the return of that jewel which I long ago laid upon the altar of God in behalf of Europe. Thus having that jewel returned, I may act once again with greater dominion in the physical octave because it is your will that I might intercede . . .”

Beloved Portia then announced: “The Lords of Karma and the Goddess of Liberty this day do give to Saint Germain from the Cosmic Council that which is unexpected unto him. That mantle he has sought to earn by this mission, we give in advance that he might have the wherewithal to do greater works through you. And so we respond to the dedication of the European Keepers of the Flame and those of the Isles. Blessed ones, Archangel Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst place this purple robe upon Saint Germain in the gratitude of all of cosmos for his service untiring and for your response to that service and for his movement through the earth.”

The Stump concluded in New York on Nov. 17, 1985, the final day of the 72-week vigil. The Messenger delivered a dictation by the Goddess of Liberty, who announced that the last vestiges of the untransmuted burdens of Saint Germain were “swiftly passing into the flame” but asked that we continue the vigil, intensifying it in the coming fortnight “to immerse the planet in violet flame.”

In a dictation given at 1:00 a.m. on Dec. 31, 1985, Arcturus and Victoria told us, regarding our mutual responsibility “taken on in the name of the God of Freedom,” that there was “yet time to give that action of the violet flame to complete all that the Lords of Karma require.” The Messenger invited all to join in a violet-flame vigil, which began immediately following the dictation and continued for 23 hours until the beginning of Gautama Buddha’s New Year’s Eve address at 12:05 a.m., January 1. Gautama’s joyous announcement of the complete balancing of Saint Germain’s debt is the capstone of a long series of initiations given to Saint Germain and his chelas during the last 400 years.
