Comte Saint-Germain is a diplomat, traveler, alchemist and occultist. The origin has not been unequivocally established, according to a common version, he came from the Transylvanian princely family of Rakoczi. The exact date of birth is unknown. He spoke almost all European languages. Possessed extensive knowledge in the field of history and chemistry, was a violinist, composer, artist. His circle of friends included noble people from different countries.
Most often he called himself Count Saint-Germain (fr. Le Comte de Saint-Germain), although he sometimes presented himself under other names. Many fictions and legends were associated with the name of the Count of Saint-Germain, largely due to which he remained one of the most mysterious figures in the history of France in the 18th century.
From 1737 to 1742, Saint-Germain was in Persia at the court of Nadir Shah. F. W. von Barthold and Lamberg also stated that he was engaged in scientific research here.
In 1745, according to a letter from the English writer Horace Walpole (1717-1797), Saint Germain was arrested in England on suspicion of spying for the Jacobites and then released. The newspapers of those times reported a misunderstanding. His innocence was proven, and after his release he was invited to dinner with Lord Harrington, Secretary of the Treasury and Treasurer of Parliament.
From 1745 to 1746 Saint-Germain lived in Vienna, where he held a high position. His best friend was Emperor Franz I's prime minister, Prince Ferdinand Lobkowitz. He also introduced him to the French marshal Belle-Isle, sent by King Louis XV on a mission to the Vienna court. Bell-Isle and invited Saint-Germain to visit Paris. 
Between 1750 and 1758, he again visited Vienna more than once, where he dealt with the affairs of not only the king of France, but also Charles of Lorraine.
In 1755, together with General Clive (Baron de Plassy), a military leader, he visited India, apparently for a political purpose. Probably, in India he studied the wisdom of the East.
In 1757, the Minister of War, Marshal and Count of Belle-Isle was introduced to the high-society Parisian society. In Paris, Saint-Germain's close friends included the Princess of Anhalt-Zerbst (mother of the Russian Empress Catherine II), as well as the Baron de Gleichen and the Marquis d'Urfi. King Louis XV greeted him warmly, since the king knew the story long before Saint Germain and his family.
In 1761, after visiting England, Saint-Germain was in Prussia, where he facilitated the conclusion of a truce between Austria and Prussia.
In 1762 he visited Russia, where he probably contributed to the coup d'etat, as a result of which Catherine II ascended the throne.
From 1763 to 1769 Saint-Germain made a year-long visit to Germany. Dieudonné Thiebo reports that Princess Amelia has expressed a desire to meet the Count.
In 1773, together with Count Maximilian of Lamberg, Chancellor of Emperor Joseph II, he visited Tunis.
In 1774 he returned to Paris to warn Queen Marie Antoinette of impending danger.
In 1776, Saint-Germain visited Leipzig, where Count Marcolini offered him a high government post in Dresden. Saint-Germain did not accept the offer.
In 1779 he settled in Eckenferde, in the Duchy of Schleswig, with the famous patron of alchemists, Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel. He was engaged in research of persistent dyes and the preparation of medicines from herbs.
It is believed that right there, in the Duchy of Schleswig on February 27, 1784, Saint-Germain died.
However, in 1785, according to the Masonic archives, he attended a Masonic
assembly in Paris.
In 1788, Queen Marie Antoinette received a letter from Saint Germain with yet another warning of impending danger.
In 1789, the Queen again received a warning letter from Saint Germain. In addition, he met with the Countess d "Ademar.
In 1790, in Vienna, he met with Baron Linden and his friend Rodolphe.
Landgrave Karl of Hesse reported information that Saint Germain himself told him about himself: “He (Saint Germain) told me that, without a doubt, he was the fruit of the marriage union of Prince Rakoczi from Transylvania with his first wife named Tekeli. As a child, he was given into the care of the house of the last Duke de Medici (Giovano Gasto - Grand Duke of Tuscany - the last representative of the famous Florentine family), who adored the baby and laid him at night in his bedchamber. When the grown-up Saint-Germain found out that his two brothers, the sons of the Princess of Hesse-Wanfried (Rheinfels), turned out to be subjects of Emperor Charles VI and received by title, henceforth called St. Charles and St. Elizabeth, he decided to call himself Sanctus Germano i.e. Holy Brother. Of course, I do not have sufficient information to prove his high origin, but I am very aware of the powerful patronage of the Duke de Medici, rendered to Saint-Germain, from another source.
The famous writer Cesare Cantu, librarian of the main Milan book depository, who had access to the Milan archives, reported in his work "History of Italy" that Saint Germain was the son of Prince Rakoczy of Transylvania and that he was patronized by the last Grand Duke of Tuscany (de Medici), who gave Saint Germain an excellent education.
The old German book "Genealogical Directory" contains information about the death of Prince Rakoczy, about his family, ancestors and descendants. It states that Prince Franz - the grandfather of Saint-Germain - fought all his life for the independence of his principality. After his death, the widow and children were captured by the Austrian emperor. The widow married a second time, and their son, Rakoczi, was taken under guardianship by the emperor himself. It happened in 1688. Some time later, the Emperor of Austria returned some hereditary possessions to Prince Rákóczi. In 1694 he married Charlotte Amalia, daughter of Landgrave Karl Hesse-Wanfried.
Three children were born from this marriage, Josef, Georg and Charlotte. Prince Rakoczy led a conspiracy against the Austrian Empire, but was defeated. His property was confiscated, and his sons were forced to abandon the surname Rakoczy and take the names of St. Charles and St. Elisabeth.
Georg Hezekl fully confirms these facts in his book
The same information is given by Isabelle Cooper-Oakley. She also discovered the will of Prince Rakoczy, which already mentions his three sons, St. Charles, St. Elisabeth and Charles of Hesse (Saint-Germain), who is under the patronage of the last Medici. The execution of the will was entrusted to the Duke of Bourbon (grandson of Louis XIV), the Duke of Maine and the Duke of Charleroi-Toulouse (illegitimate sons of Louis XIV). It was to their care that Prince Rakoczy provided his third son, who was entitled to an impressive share of the inheritance.
In the book "Curiositaten der Literarich- hstorishcen Vor und Mitwelt" it is reported that in Schwabach, Count Tsarogi (that was the name of Saint Germain) was invited to visit the Margrave of Brundenburg-Anspach. At this time, Tsarogi received a letter from Count Alexei Orlov, close associate of Catherine II. Orlov said that he was in Nuremberg and asked for a meeting. Count Tsarogi, together with the margrave, went to the meeting. According to the author, Tsarogi was dressed for the first time in the uniform of a Russian general. Orlov greeted Count Tsaroga with the words "Caro padre" and "Caro amiko" ("dear father" and "dear friend"). As the author reports, much has been said about scientific discoveries and the recent Archipelago Company. Upon returning to the Margrave's castle, Count Tsarogi presented the Margrave with a document sealed with an imperial seal, which certified that he was a Russian general. He admitted that he was forced to use the name of Tsarogi, and that his real name should be considered Rakoczi, and that he is the only representative of this family and a direct descendant of the exiled prince who ruled Transylvania during the time of Emperor Leopold.
“He (Saint-Germain) seemed to me the most original of all the people whom I had the good fortune to know before. I find it difficult to speak with certainty about its origin. However, I fully admit that he may be the offspring of a very famous influential family, for one reason or another hiding his origin. Possessing a huge fortune, he is content with very little and lives very simply and unpretentiously. He knows, apparently, all the sciences. And at the same time, one feels in him a just and decent person, possessing all spiritual qualities worthy of praise. 
Saint Germain, as stated in the Chroniques de l "Oeil de Boeuf", said to the Countess de Genlis: "Seven years old, I hid in the forests, and a reward was placed on my head. On the day of my birth, my mother, whom I was never destined to see more, she tied a talisman with her portrait on my arm.” Saint-Germain, according to the author, showed this portrait to her interlocutor.
All this information points to the noble birth of Saint Germain and his significant source of income.
At the end of the 18th century, a difficult political situation developed in Europe. Austria and France entered into a military alliance in 1756, directed chiefly against England and Prussia. Russia supported them. During the Seven Years' War, the Prussian throne could collapse more than once. Poland was torn apart by internal unrest. England got bogged down in a war with America and France, continuing to pursue an aggressive policy in India as well.
There is evidence, including from the kings of Prussia and England, as well as ministers and generals, that at this time Saint Germain played an important political role in uniting the warring parties, carrying out secret orders for King Louis XV.
Baron de Gleichen reports that the French Marshal Belle-Isle tried to conclude a separate treaty with Prussia and thereby break the alliance between France and Austria, which rested on the authority of another French minister, Choiseul. Louis XV, like Madame Pompadour, in secret from Choiseul, supported Belle-Isle's intentions. Marshal prepared all the necessary recommendations. The king personally handed them over to Saint Germain, along with a special cipher. 
For various reasons, and especially because the rise of Prussia posed a threat to both France and the independence of the small German states, Saint Germain sought to destroy the alliance between Prussia and England, which sent money and people to Frederick II. Despite the marshal, Saint-Germain managed to convince Louis XV of the need to seek peace with England through the mediation of Holland. So, on a secret commission from the king, Saint-Germain went to Holland.
It is also known that with King Louis XV, Saint-Germain spent several hours behind closed doors. What happened after these conversations is reported by the Countess d "Ademar:
“A few hours after meeting with Louis, the count jumped into the mail coach and rushed to the border. Indeed, since 1749, Louis XV entrusted Saint-Germain with secret diplomatic missions, which he carried out with great success.
Kauderbach, the minister of the Saxon court in The Hague, also reported that he had a conversation with Saint-Germain about the causes of the difficulties that befell France. According to Kauderbach, Saint-Germain was an attorney for Marshal Bell-Isle, for which he had letters of credence. Saint Germain intended to carry out the plans of the Marshal and Madame Pompadour to conclude a treaty with England through the mediation of Holland, and that for this purpose Saint Germain had established relations with Count Bentinck, President of the Council of Plenipotentiaries of the Province of Holland. While in Holland Saint-Germain, on March 11, 1760, he wrote a letter to Madame Pompadour in which he said: “You should also know my devotion to you, madam. Therefore, give orders, and I am at your service. You can establish peace in Europe without the tedious and complicated manipulations of Congress...”
In his letter to Prince Golitsyn dated March 20, 1760, Kauderbach wrote: “There is now an extraordinary person here. This is the famous Count of Saint-Germain, known throughout Europe for his learning and great wealth. In this country, he performs a very important mission, and talks a lot about the need to save France by any means ... ".
Frederick II himself, King of Prussia, said the following about Saint Germain: “Another political phenomenon appeared in London, which no one could understand. This man was well known as the Comte de Saint-Germain. He was in the service of the French king and was in such great favor with Louis XV that he thought about giving him the Chambord Palace as a gift.
Voltaire put Saint-Germain on the same level as the ministers of France, Austria and England. This is confirmed by Voltaire's letter to Friedrich of Prussia. “Messrs Choiseul, Kaunitz and Pitt did not tell me their secret. They say that only Monsieur Saint-Germain knows him ... "
Important evidence of Saint Germain's political activities is the diplomatic correspondence between General York, the English representative in The Hague, and Lord Holderness in London, which, according to Cooper-Oakley, is in the archives of the British Museum. General York, in his letter of March 14, 1760, wrote that he had spoken with Saint-Germain about the possible conclusion of a truce between France and England. Louis XV, Madame de Pompadour and Marshal Belle-Isle authorized him to do this. In response, Lord Holderness, on behalf of King George II of Great Britain, said that "Saint-Germain may indeed be authorized to conduct such negotiations ... We are also interested in this, because everything that contributes to the speedy progress towards the desired goal is important to us ... " .
It is known that Saint-Germain demonstrated the art of chemistry to King Louis XV in his laboratory. After visiting the laboratory of Saint-Germain, the king was so fascinated by his abilities that he instructed Saint-Germain to establish a dye factory in Tournai, and then provided him with a room - the Chambord castle with 440 rooms, and 100 thousand livres for setting up a laboratory and doing chemical experiments there. Madame Osset, in her memoirs, described the case when Saint Germain, at the request of the king, removed the defect from the diamond, which delighted him. To the questions of the king, “the count did not really answer anything. However, he confirmed that he can enlarge pearls and give them a special shine.
The king kept this diamond as a keepsake. She also claimed that "his Majesty, apparently, is completely blinded by the talents of Saint-Germain and at times speaks of him as if he were a person of the highest origin." “Some could not get from the king not only an audience, but also just a look that gives hope for the favor of fortune. Other important people were furious that Saint Germain was having a long conversation with the monarch, while they, completely unsure that they would soon be received, propped up the walls of the Oval Room. However, both of them nourished and consoled their pride, slandering about the origin of a foreigner. The courtiers tried to take revenge on both the count and Louis XV, claiming that the king was spending time with an adventurer, whom they turned either into a certain Portuguese marquis named Betmar, or into the son of a certain Rostondo, a tax collector in Aix or in San Germeno in Savoy, sometimes into a Frankfort Jew named Samuel Zamer, then into the son of a Jewish doctor Wolf from Strasbourg.
The most resourceful in this respect was Minister Choiseul. At first, he favored the count, and he often visited his house. But soon Choiseul became wary of the trusting relationship between the count and the king, thanks to which they sometimes spent long hours alone. The minister started a secret war against the count. He spread rumors that Saint-Germain was a spy and claimed to have all the evidence for this.
The police began to follow Saint-Germain. For two years, his mail was intercepted. It was established that the count never received money from anywhere and, nevertheless, lived quite richly.
From a letter from the English General York to Lord Holderness dated April 4, 1760: "The Duke of Choiseul seems to be making desperate attempts to discredit this man (Saint-Germain) and prevent his interference in matters of national importance."
From a letter from the Ambassador of France in Holland d "Affrey to the Duke of Choiseul dated April 5, 1760: "If we fail to discredit him (Saint-Germain) in any way, then he will be very dangerous for us, especially in the current situation."
Choiseul d'Affrey's answer (May 10, 1760): “I have already managed to get acquainted in some newspapers with your submission against the so-called Count of Saint-Germain. I think it should be placed in some French newspaper so that this publication completes our an operation to discredit an adventurer..."
Choiseul also spread rumors about the count's low birth. But, despite this, as Madame du Osse stated, “the king undoubtedly considered him a man of noble
kind."
Then Choiseul decided to make Saint Germain the object of ridicule. He attributed to him such statements that only a madman could utter. A certain Gov, nicknamed my Lord Gower, was bribed, who was usually used to spy on the English and could imitate any person. “A certain Parisian rake, known as 'My Lord Gower', was an inimitable mime, and roamed the salons of Paris, posing as Saint Germain, naturally heavily caricatured. However, by many people this comical figure was perceived as a real Saint-Germain. Gov, posing as Saint Germain, spoke on his behalf: “Jesus and I were very close. This is the best man in the world, but he was too romantic and reckless. I warned him more than once that he would end badly...” This charlatan also spread a version of help, which he allegedly tried to provide to Jesus Christ, acting through the wife of Pontius Pilate, whose house he allegedly often visited.
With extraordinary detail, Gower described the villa of the Roman governor and even listed the dishes served at one of the parties.
Unfortunately, there were people who liked to believe in miracles, and nothing seemed impossible to them. Stories about the fabulous longevity of Saint Germain, allegedly a contemporary of Jesus Christ, instilled in them a timid hope that their most secret desire - to live indefinitely - would come true.
From the memoirs of Baron Gleichen: “Minor characters were also invented, for example, the old servant of the count. Cardinal de Roan, once heard a story about a dinner at Pontius Pilate, referring to the valet of Saint-Germain, or rather, to the one who pretended to be him, asked if this was true. To which he replied: "Oh no, monsignor, it was before me. After all, I have been serving Mr. Count for only 400 years ..."
Collin de Plancy also writes about this in his Infernal Dictionary.
So did Casanova, an adventurer with a dubious reputation, “probably felt Saint Germain’s contempt for himself and wanted to take revenge on him.” In his memoirs, he wrote: “This extraordinary man (Saint-Germain), a born deceiver, without any hesitation, as if about something taken for granted, said that he was 300 years old, that he possessed a panacea for all diseases, that nature had there are no secrets from him that he knows how to melt diamonds and make one big one out of ten or twelve small ones, of the same weight and, moreover, of the purest water.
However, also in his memoirs, Casanova described the incident when he had to meet Saint-Germain for the last time. This happened in Tournai, in the house of the count himself. The count asked Casanova for a coin, he gave him 12 sous. Throwing a small black seed on it, Saint-Germain put the coin on the coals and heated it with a blowpipe. Two minutes later, the coin also became red-hot. After a minute it cooled down, and Saint-Germain gave it to Casanova. “I began to examine the coin. Now she was golden. I never doubted for a moment that I was holding my coin<...>Saint-Germain simply could not quietly change one coin for another.” Then he adds: “That coin really looked like gold, and two months later in Berlin I sold it to Field Marshal Keith, who showed great interest in an unusual gold coin of 12 sous.”
After all his statements, Casanova adds: “Oddly enough, as if against my will, the count unconsciously amazes me, he managed to amaze me ...”
Saint-Germain himself said the following about his age: “... Parisians believe that I am five hundred years old - I am in no hurry to dissuade them of this, because they really like to think so. However, I'm really much older than I think."
Baron Gleichen wrote about the fortune that Saint-Germain had after visiting the count: “There was an opal of unimaginable size, and a transparent sapphire the size of an egg. I dare to say that I am well versed in jewelry and can assure that even the most experienced eye will not doubt the purity of the Earl's stones, although they have not been processed.
There were also rumors that Saint Germain possessed an elixir of youth, as if he could extend the life of anyone for many years. In particular, Gene stated this: "... he (Saint-Germain) has an elixir of longevity and he is many years old." But even Casanova, who always accused Saint Germain of boasting, confirmed that Saint Germain himself always denied this. From the Memoirs of Casanova: “The count provided the ladies with ointments and cosmetics that made them more beautiful. Saint Germain did not instill in them hope for rejuvenation, modestly admitting his impotence here, but promised that they would be well preserved thanks to his infusion. The main secret of the "eternal youth" of Saint-Germain was hygiene and proper regimen.
In 1760, while in Holland on a secret mission from Louis XV, Saint-Germain was again compromised by the Duke of Choiseul, who, having learned that Saint-Germain was trying to establish relations with England through the mediation of Holland, presented the count as a traitor. The king, in order not to embarrass himself, signed a decree on the arrest of Saint-Germain without trial or investigation. But Holland did not extradite Saint-Germain to France, and he went on a trip to Europe.
After France, Saint-Germain went on a trip to Europe. He visited England, Prussia, Russia, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Germany. “And wherever the count turned out to be, he managed to penetrate into the highest circles. Just like with Louis XV, he secretly talked with the rulers, gave them valuable advice, and warned them against trouble. The most senior, the most inaccessible, the most powerful persons treated Saint Germain with great respect. Even in the newspapers of that time, publications appeared in which recognition of Saint-Germain's talents was expressed. From a newspaper article of those times: "... the Italians consider him equal to their virtuosos and one of the best experts in all types of ancient and modern art ... the Germans consider him equal to their most outstanding chemist."
Philosophical sonnet attributed to Saint Germain
Curious explorer of all nature,
I have known the principle and limits of the great All,
I beheld the primordial power of the radiance of gold,
I comprehended matter and learned the secret of its fundamental principle,
I understood how the soul settles
In the mother's womb and takes possession of the body,
And as from a seed thrown into damp soil,
Grass and vines grow, that is, bread and wine.
At first there was nothing but the will of God
Something was born out of nothing.
I was tormented by doubts and was looking for what the World stands on.
Nothing seemed to keep him in balance.
And it does not serve as a fulcrum.
Finally praises and reproaches led me to the Almighty,
And He called my soul.
I died, I worshipped
And I didn't know anything else.
Leaving France in 1760, Saint Germain went to England. And here France demanded to extradite Saint-Germain to her, but was also refused.
From England in 1761 he went to Prussia, where he contributed to the conclusion of a truce with Austria.
In 1762 he visited Russia. On March 3, according to Cooper-Oakley, he was visiting Princess Maria Golitsyna in Arkhangelsk. In St. Petersburg he lived with Count Rotary, a famous Italian artist who spent the last years of his life at the court of Elizabeth Petrovna. Saint Germain probably took part in the preparation of the palace coup, as a result of which Prussian influence was replaced by French. Catherine II ascended the throne. It is known that at that time Saint-Germain wore the uniform of a Russian general, and in certain circles he presented himself as Count Saltykov. In 1772, Grigory Orlov, close associate of Catherine II, spoke to the Margrave of Brandenburg-Anspach about Saint-Germain: "Here is a man who played a big role in our revolution."
In 1770 he was in Livorno when the Russian fleet was stationed there. Saint-Germain was in the uniform of a Russian officer, and Alexei Orlov introduced him as Count Saltykov.
It is known that from 1763 to 1769 Saint Germain had a year-long visit to Germany. Dieudonné Thiebo reports that Princess Amelia has expressed a desire to meet the Count.
Between 1770 and 1773 Saint Germain stayed six times in Holland, namely in the cities of Ubergen, Amsterdam and The Hague. In The Hague, the count lived in the ancient castle of Zorgfleet, which stood on the very spot where the Peace Palace is now built. In 1773 he visited Mantua.
Then Saint-Germain lived for some time in Venice, Siena, Milan, Genoa, where he negotiated the sale of his recipes for making paints and was engaged in the construction of factories. Visited Nuremberg.
After his disappearance from France, Saint-Germain went on a tour of Germany and Italy. In 1779 he settled in Eckenferde, in the Duchy of Schleswig, with the famous patron of alchemists, Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel. According to J. Lenotre, the count was now engaged in research on permanent dyes and herbal medicines. According to Le Nôtre, Saint-Germain finally confessed to being 88 years old. Right there, in the Duchy of Schleswig, on February 27, 1784, as follows from the entry made in the Eckenjerde church book, Saint Germain died. Charles of Hesse in his Memoirs of My Time confirms this date, although Charles himself was in Kassel at that time.
Evidence remains that Saint-Germain was seen after his alleged "death". If the Count wanted to hide from the eyes of the public, then perhaps faking his own death would be the best way to do this.
In 1788, as reported by the Countess d "Ademar, the Count de Chalom, who completed his mission in Venice, on the eve of his departure for Portugal, met Saint Germain in St. Mark's Square and talked with him there.
In the same year, 1788, Queen Marie Antoinette received another warning letter from Saint-Germain.
In 1789, Saint-Germain wrote to the Queen again and met with the Countess d'Adhémar
A note written by the hand of the Countess d "Adémar, dated May 12, 1821 and pinned to the original manuscript of her memoirs, contains the following words about Saint Germain: "I have repeatedly seen Mr. de Saint-Germain, but our meetings have always been amazing unexpected He appeared at the execution of the queen, then on the eve of 18 Brumaire, then the day after the death of the Duke d "Angien, in January 1815, on the eve of the assassination of the Duke of Berry. God willing, we will see the count for the sixth time! I look forward to his visit." They say that the last visit took place on the day of the death of Madame d "Adhémar, May 12, 1821.
In 1774, Count Saint-Germain returns to Paris again to inform Marie Antoinette of the dangers that threaten her. The Countess d "Ademar, the lady of the court, was present at this conversation and in her memoirs reported all its details. According to her testimony, the count warned of an impending conspiracy, that the conspirators decided to use a member of the royal family of the Duke of Chartres, that with his help they could seize power ", and then send him to the scaffold. "It is the villains who will seize power in their bloody hands, destroy the Catholic Church, the nobility, the courts," said Saint Germain to the queen. The queen conveyed the conversation to Louis XVI, but he did not listen to the advice of Saint Germain do not speak of this to the king's adviser, de Maurepé, who, considering Saint-Germain his enemy, immediately ordered the count to be seized, but he disappeared.
In 1788, Marie Antoinette received a letter from an unknown person. The queen gave the letter to the Countess d "Ademar, she immediately recognized Saint Germain's handwriting. The letter said:
“The time is about to come when, with unreasonable France
There will be trouble that she could have avoided
And the country will resemble the hell described by Dante.
Queen! These days are not far off, and leave vain doubts.
The vile, nasty, huge hydra will sweep away the throne, the altar and Themis.
Not common sense, but complete madness will rule the country.
The kingdom of evil will come.
........................
Endless rivers of blood will flood the cities.
And I hear only sobs, and I see only exiles.
Civil war is raging everywhere...
........................
I see how the sword falls on the heads of the highest persons!
What monsters will be hailed as heroes!
........................
Not one usurper will rule the country.
The hearts of the people will have to soften and be ashamed of what they have done,
And then, finally, the abyss will drag on
And, born on a gloomy grave,
A young lily will grow
Even happier and more beautiful than before!”
In 1789, at a time when terrible events were planned in the country, Queen Marie Antoinette again received a letter from the count. The Queen, in order to clarify the situation for Madame Polignac, who witnessed this event, said: “Since my arrival in France, at every important event affecting my interests, the mysterious patron informed me of what I should be afraid of. I already told you a little about him. And now I have no doubt that he will tell me what to do.” The letter said: “Madame!... And so you waited for those days about which I wrote to you. There can no longer be any talk of maneuvering ... For the sake of strengthening your positions, you must remove the most beloved people from you.
Then the rebels will have no extra reason to attack you. However, your friends are in danger. All Polignacs and people close to them are sentenced to death, and orders are given to the murderers. The same bandits have already dealt with the guards of the Bastille and the Parisian prevost. Count d'Artois is also in danger of death. The rebels also crave his blood, so the count must be careful. I hasten to tell you at least this. I will write more later.
The Countess d'Adémar herself also received a letter. Saint-Germain invited her to a meeting. They met at the appointed place, in the Recole church. Saint-Germain told the countess what would happen to the queen and France: “The queen is doomed to death ... the monarchy the republic will replace it, in turn, it will be replaced by the empire. It will be ... a torn state. From the hands of cunning tyrants, it will pass to other unworthy power-hungry. The country will be divided, dismembered, torn to pieces. And I am not exaggerating ... ". Then, according to d "Ademar, Saint Germain told her that they would meet five more times, and that he was going to go to Sweden to try to prevent a conspiracy against Gustav III.
In 1793, a disastrous denouement of events came. “The earth is burning under our feet,” said Marie Antoinette to Countess d “Adémar, “and I begin to believe that your Comte de Saint-Germain foresaw everything correctly. We were wrong when we did not want to listen to his words, but Mr. Morepa so deftly and arbitrarily imposed his opinion on us ... ".
Thus, Saint-Germain made several attempts to prevent the impending revolution, but remained unheeded.
In 1785, Saint-Germain was one of the elected representatives of the French Freemasons present in Paris at the Great Congress. Also, the French side was represented by Lavater, Saint-Martin, Mesmer, Touse-Duchanteau, Cagliostro and others. The same persons appear in a more extensive list presented by N. Deschamps. Deschamps speaks of Saint Germain as a Templar. It is also reported that Cagliostro received a knighthood of the Templars from Saint Germain.
The Catholic source Cantu Cesare, Gli Eretici d "Italia. Turin 1876 speaks of a Masonic conference in Wilhelmsbad in 1785, which was attended by Saint Germain.
This is also confirmed by the Masonic source Freimaurer Bruderschaft in Frankreich, Latomia, vol.II.
According to Cadé, Saint Germain was an itinerant Templar who traveled from lodge to lodge in order to establish and strengthen spiritual ties between them.
Saint-Germain, according to Greffer, helped Mesmer develop the theory of mesmerism (animal magnetism).
Isabelle Coupet-Oakley in her research confirms Saint Germain's close ties with many Rosicrucian societies in Austria and Hungary, as well as with the Parisian "Martinists".
In the Masonic documents of the Lodge of the Grand Orient of France, Saint-Germain, as well as Rousseau, is listed as a member of the Lodge of Public Concord of Saint John of Ecos from August 18, 1775 to January 19, 1789.
In Paris, Manly Hall claimed, Saint-Germain had a strong relationship with the Marquis Lafayette through their participation in the activities of the Freemasonic Lodge of the Nine Sisters. Honorary Master, who was elected Benjamin Franklin, who later directed the initiation of Voltaire.
Also, Manly Hall claimed that the Comte Saint-Germain was well acquainted with the principles of Eastern esotericism and practiced Eastern meditation and concentration. According to him, Saint Germain periodically retired to the heart of the Himalayas, from where he suddenly returned to the light. “Sometimes he (Saint-Germain) admitted that he was following the orders of higher powers. But he kept silent about the fact that he was sent by the mystery school to the world to fulfill a specific mission. Comte Saint Germain and Sir Francis Bacon were the two greatest emissaries of the last two thousand years, sent into the world by a secret brotherhood."

The teachings of these societies included such concepts as the evolution of the spiritual nature of man, reincarnation, the hidden forces of nature, the purity of life, the nobility of the ideal, the Divine Omnipresent Power, etc.
Isabelle Cooper-Oakley in The Comte de Saint-Germain. The Secret of Kings" lists the most important names under the mask of which this mysterious person was hiding in the period 1710 - 1822. “During this time Saint Germain appears as Marquis de Montferrat, Count Bellamare or Aymar in Venice, Chevalier Schoening in Pisa, Chevalier Weldon in Milan and Leipzig, Count Saltykov (Soltikoff) in Genoa and Livorno, Count Tzarogy (Tzarogy) in Schwabach and Troisdorf, Prince Rakoczi (Ragoczy) in Dresden and Count Saint-Germain in Paris, The Hague, London and St. Petersburg.
To this list, Manly P. Hall in his work “The Most Holy Trinosophy of Count Saint-Germain” supplements the following names: Count Gabalais (Gabalais), who appeared to Abbot Vilar and delivered several speeches about underground spirits, Signor Gualdi (Gualdi) from the book of Harkgive Jennings "The Rosicrucians, their Rituals and Mysteries", the last Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of Malta, Count Hompesh.
It is worth noting that the fact of changing names was in the habit of high-ranking persons of that time, who did not want to attract excessive curiosity to themselves. So, for example, the Duke de Medici, traveled in 1698 - 1700 under the name of the Count of Siena, and Kür-Prince Friedrich Christian of Saxony traveled around Italy under the name of Count Losi.
Saint-Germain is credited with the manuscript "Holy Trinosophia", the grimoire "Holy magic given to Moses by God" (probably a translation of a Jewish work of the 15th century) and a treatise on alchemy, which contains many consonances with Eastern culture.
Among the research works that tell about the life and work of the Count of Saint-Germain, one of the first and most detailed can be considered the work of the well-known figure of the Theosophical Society, Isabelle Cooper-Oakley (1854 - 1914), entitled “The Count of Saint-Germain. The Secret of Kings. Initially, excerpts from this work were published in the London Theosophical Journal for 1897-1898, and then the book appeared in full edition in 1912.
Isabelle Cooper-Oakley uses various historical documents in her book. Among them, for example, is the diary of Madame de Adémar, a close friend of Queen Marie Antoinette. The Countess d'Adémar kept daily records, as was customary in her period. The diary data are subjective. However, scientists use the diaries of the Countess d'Adémar and refer to them. The work of Isabelle Cooper-Oakley is supplied with a solid appendix in the form of a selection of archival documents (business and diplomatic correspondence for 1747 - 1780) associated with the name of the mysterious earl. The researcher was admitted to many archives of the Foreign Ministries of European countries, such as: England, France, Denmark, Holland, Austria, Germany.
The latest of the books published abroad about Saint Germain is the book by Patrick Riviere published in Paris in 1995, Secrets and Mysteries of the Occult: Saint Germain and Cagliostro.
There is also the work of Manly Hall, who studied the life, political activity, and literary works of the Comte de Saint-Germain. The author publishes in it the manuscript "Holy Trinosophia". , which in his opinion is the only surviving manuscript of Saint Germain.
The research work of the French historian Paul Chacornac, entitled "The Comte de Saint-Germain", is stated in the preface as "the most comprehensive study on this subject that has been written in French." The first edition was published in 1947, then the book was reprinted twice. In 1948, for his monograph, Paul Shakornak was awarded the Prize. Mary Star of the French Society of Writers.
P. Shakornak collected all the references to Saint-Germain known to him in French in books (scientific literature and fiction), periodicals, and oral presentations. 
P. Shakornak restored in detail the biographies of several contemporaries of Saint-Germain, who bore the same name, who were often confused with the count. First of all, this is Count Robert Claude-Louis de Saint-Germain, French minister, secretary of state for military affairs, field marshal in the service of the Danish king, commander of the Order of the Elephant, lieutenant general (1707 - 1778), who became famous for his military talents and in 1875 appointed by Louis XVI Minister of War, after the death of Marechal de Muy. P. Shakornak believes that many of the well-known episodes in which participation is attributed to Count Saint-Germain actually tell about the minister.
It should be noted the point of view of H. P. Blavatsky and H. I. Roerich, according to which the epithet “adventurer” applied to Saint-Germain is an insinuation, and he really was a student of Indian and Egyptian hierophants and a connoisseur of the secret wisdom of the East.
“... What is offered as evidence that Saint-Germain was an 'adventurer', that he sought to 'play the role of a sorcerer' or that he swindled money from the profane. There is not a single confirmation here that he was someone else than he seemed, namely: the owner of huge funds that helped him honestly maintain his position in society. He claimed to know how to melt small diamonds into large ones, and how to transform metals, and backed up his claims with untold riches and a collection of diamonds of rare size and beauty. Are "adventurers" like that? Do charlatans enjoy for many years the trust and admiration of the most intelligent statesmen and nobility of Europe?<...>Has anything been found among the papers of the secret archives of at least one of these courts that speaks in favor of this version? Not a single word, not a single proof of this vile slander has ever been found. It's just a vicious lie. The way Western writers treated this great man, this student of Indian and Egyptian hierophants and expert in the secret wisdom of the East, is a disgrace to all mankind. In the same way, this stupid world treated everyone who, like Saint Germain, after long years of seclusion devoted to the study of the sciences and the comprehension of esoteric wisdom, again visited him, hoping to make him better, wiser and happier ...

“One can recall how the Swedish king Charles XII received a strong warning not to start a fatal campaign against Russia, which put an end to the development of his state. Since the publication of the diary of the Countess d "Ademar, a court lady who was with the ill-fated Marie Antoinette, the fact of the queen's repeated warning through letters and a personal meeting, through the same countess, about the impending danger to the country, the entire royal house and many of their friends, has become widely known. And, invariably, all these warnings came from the same source, from the Comte Saint-Germain, a member of the Himalayan Community.But all his saving warnings and advice were taken as insults and deceit.He was persecuted, and he was threatened more than once by the Bastille.The tragic consequences of these denials well known to everyone."

“A very wonderful person was briefly acquainted with her. You have heard of the Comte Saint-Germain, of whom so many wonderful stories are told. You know that he pretended to be an eternal Jew, the inventor of the life elixir and the philosopher's stone, and so on. They laughed at him like a charlatan, and Casanova in her Notes says that he was a spy, however, Saint-Germain, despite his secrecy, had a very respectable appearance, and was a very amiable person in society. Grandmother still loves him without memory, and gets angry if they talk about him with disrespect. Grandmother knew that Saint Germain could have a lot of money. She decided to run to him. (...) Saint-Germain considered. “I can serve you with this amount,” he said, “but I know that you will not be calm until you pay me off, and I would not want to introduce you to new troubles. There is another remedy: you can recoup." - "But, dear count," answered the grandmother, "I tell you that we have no money at all." - "Money is not needed here," objected Saint-Germain: "if you please listen to me." Then he revealed to her a secret, for which any of us would give dearly ... "

Saint Germain
SAINT GERMAIN, Count. Modern writers speak of him as a mysterious person. Frederick II, King of Prussia, liked to say that he was a man no one could ever figure out. His "biographies" are many, and one is more fantastic than the other. Some considered him an incarnate god, others - a wise Alsatian Jew. But one thing is certain, the Comte de Saint Germain - whatever his real name - was entitled to this name and title, since he bought the estate of San Germano in the Italian Tyrol, and paid the pope for this title. He was extraordinarily handsome, and his great erudition and linguistic abilities are undeniable, for he spoke English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Swedish, Danish and many other Slavic and Oriental languages with as much ease as any native of these countries. He was very wealthy, never taking a sou from another - in fact he never even took a glass of water or a piece of bread from anyone - but he made the most extravagant gifts of superb jewels to all his friends and even to the royal families of Europe. He had excellent musical ability; He played all the instruments, but his favorite was the violin. "Saint Germain competed with Paganini himself," said an eighty-year-old Belgian of him in 1835, after listening to the "Maestro of Genoa." "This is the resurrected Saint Germain, playing the violin in the body of an Italian skeleton," exclaimed one Lithuanian baron who happened to hear both. He never claimed to possess spiritual powers, yet he proved himself entitled to such a claim. He spent in a dead trance, without awakening, from thirty-seven to forty-nine hours, and after that he knew everything he needed to know, and proved it by prophecies about the future, never wrong. It was he who prophesied to kings Louis XV and XVI, and to the unfortunate Marie Antoinette. At the beginning of this century (XIX), many witnesses of his wonderful memory were still alive; he could read the article in the morning, and although he skimmed over it only with a cursory glance, he could repeat its content without missing a single word, many days later; could write with both hands at the same time, with the right a poem, with the left a diplomatic document of the greatest importance. He read sealed letters without touching them while they were still in the hands of those who brought them to him. He was the greatest adept in transmuting metals, making gold and the finest diamonds, an art which he said he learned from some Brahmins in India, who taught him the artificial crystallization ("animation") of pure carbon. As our Brother Kennett MacKenzie writes: "In 1780, while visiting the French ambassador at The Hague, he smashed to smithereens with a hammer a magnificent diamond of his own manufacture, a duplicate of which, also of his own manufacture, he had just sold to a jeweler for 5,500 louis." He was a friend and confidant of Count Orlov in 1772 in Vienna, whom he helped and saved in 1762 in St. Petersburg, when he was involved in the famous political conspiracies of that time; he was also on close terms with the Prussian Frederick the Great. It goes without saying that he had numerous enemies, so it is not surprising that all the gossip spread about him is now attributed to him: for example, that he was over five hundred years old, or that he claimed to be personally acquainted "with the Savior and his twelve apostles, and reproved Peter for his bad temper" - the latter somewhat contradicts the former in time, if he really declared that he was only five hundred years old. If he said that he was "born in Chaldea, and admitted that he possessed the secrets of the Egyptian magicians and sages," then he could well be telling the truth without making any supernatural claims. There are Initiates, and not even the highest ones, who are able to remember more than one of their former lives. But we have good reasons for believing that Saint Germain could never claim to have "personal acquaintance" with the Savior. Be that as it may, Comte Saint Germain was by far the greatest Oriental Adept that Europe has seen in the last centuries. But Europe did not recognize him. Some, perhaps, will recognize it at the next "Terreur" which, when it breaks out, will shake the whole of Europe, and not just one country.

Comte Saint-Germain is one of the most enigmatic figures in history, particularly in the history of the eighteenth century. He has many names and lived lives, even more secrets that we will probably never be able to comprehend and discover.
Contemporaries describe him as of a dense physique, with an expressive and captivating look. The Count's life was shrouded in mystery. He then disappeared, then appeared in different places under new names.
His age was impossible to determine, and everyone agreed on this. Perhaps this is what formed the basis of the legend that Saint Germain owns the secret of longevity. Some elderly aristocrats recalled that Count Saint-Germain also visited the salons of their grandmothers. Should they be trusted? Who knows. But the fact remained - the age of the count, as well as the dates of his birth and death, were and remain shrouded in a veil of secrecy.
Count Saint-Germain was known in many places, took an active part in the political events of that time, and played a diplomatic game. Therefore, he was called an intriguer and adventurer. But he had knowledge about everything in the world.
For example, he was a polyglot - he spoke different languages \u200b\u200bwith absolutely no accent. So, Count Saint-Germain spoke English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and other languages. As for history, he knew it so well that one might think that he himself had once taken part in the events he was talking about.
But these Count's talents
were not limited. He played several musical instruments without notes, wrote music, striking with his skill the famous musicians of that time. In addition, Saint-Germain painted beautifully in oils. He developed special paints that glowed in the dark, but seemed to shimmer in different colors in the light. The composition of the paints, unfortunately, remained under the cloak of secrecy.
Also, this unique person developed production technologies, in particular, technologies for working with leather and fabrics. So, flax, which was bleached using his technology, resembled silk, and the skin after dressing became like fabric. The count was also a brilliant inventor, but many of his inventions still do not fit in our minds. So, Count Saint-Germain invented a spinning wheel, when working on which two threads were formed at once. But this required an unusual effort from the worker - he had to share consciousness, simultaneously observing two processes. Therefore, it was decided to abandon this spinning wheel, since people could not yet work on it. But all this indicates that the count sought to direct progress towards the development of human abilities.
Esoteric side of the issue
But this is not all that Count Saint-Germain did. Books about him mainly describe the mystical-religious side of his personality, which was no less mysterious than other areas of life. The count created secret societies, and also served as their inspirer. But at the heart of all societies, one way or another, there were common principles, such as reincarnation, the evolution of the spiritual life of man.
What else made famous the one who was called "Comte Saint-Germain"? Predictions and more predictions! One of the most famous prophecies was the warning to Marie Antoinette about the coming catastrophe. Alas, she did not heed the advice, and the prediction came true.
The mystery of the personality of this outstanding person remains unsolved to this day.
“He was probably one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived. The patron of mankind - he needed money only in order to be able to help those in need. A passionate lover of animals, his heart was filled with the only concern for the happiness of others.
Landgrave Karl of Hesse.
"Memories of My Time".
Sometimes he said that he was born in Chaldea and he knows the secrets of the ancient Egyptian magicians and sages. More than once, the appearance of the count in high society led some elderly aristocrats into confusion, who suddenly remembered that they had known him for a long time, back in childhood or youth, and the count had not changed at all since then!
So, once appearing at the court of Louis XV, Saint-Germain attracted a lot of attention to his person. The fact is that the elderly Countess von Gergy, to her greatest surprise, recognized the Count, and everything would be fine if not for a single "but" - their last meeting took place 50 years ago, in 1710, when the Countess was with her husband in Venice, and the count has not changed at all since then! Not believing her eyes, the elderly lady approached him with some apprehension and curiosity. Turning to Saint-Germain, the countess asked if his father had been to Venice in 1710. Saint Germain's answer shocked the old woman to the core. The count calmly told her that his father had died long before that time, but he himself really lived in Venice at the end of the last and the beginning of this century, where he had the honor to look after her. He remembered how the Countess had praised the barcarolles he had composed, which they had then sung together. The old lady still couldn't believe it, because the man was about forty-five years old! And now she sees him in front of her after so much time, and he has not changed at all, although he should have been more than a hundred years old now, how is this possible? Smiling enigmatically, Saint-Germain replied that he was really very old, after which he finally dispelled Madame von Gergy's doubts about their long-standing acquaintance, telling a number of intimate details known only to the two of them. After this conversation, the count hastened to leave the reception.
And here is what his friend, Landgrave of Hesse-Philip-Barfeld, said about Saint Germain and his supernatural age: know only a contemporary of a bygone era. In Kassel, for example, it has become fashionable to respectfully listen to his statements and not be surprised at anything. The Count is known for his unobtrusiveness and sincerity; he is a man of good society, with whom everyone is glad to be acquainted ... He, in any case, is in very close relations with many people, extremely influential in the affairs of many states, and has an enormous favorable influence on the rest. My cousin, Landgrave Karl of Hesse, is very fond of him; both of them are sincere and zealous Freemasons and jointly master, comprehending the Truth, all kinds of secret knowledge ... Apparently, he communicates with spirits and other supernatural beings who appear at his first call.
An equally interesting incident happened one day at a reception at the count's house, when his guest, Cardinal de Roan, having heard a story about Saint Germain's dinner with Pontius Pilate, decided to ask the count's valet if this was true. What was his surprise when the servant replied: “Oh no, monsignor, this happened before me. After all, I have served the Count for only 400 years ... "
Many legends circulated about the count's mystical abilities. It was rumored that he possessed the elixir of immortality and the "philosopher's stone" capable of turning iron into gold.
Let's take a closer look at this unusual person. Count Saint-Germain looked about 45-50 years old, had an average height and a moderate build, a swarthy, energetic and spiritual face with regular features, black hair and a majestic posture. He gave the impression of an educated and intellectually developed person, well-mannered, familiar with refined manners - a real aristocrat. The count dressed simply, but with great taste. Luxury was manifested only in a large number of diamonds of the purest water, which were part of the decoration of the count's decoration. Diamonds flaunted on each of his fingers, they were also decorated with a snuffbox, watch and shoe buckles. Once the count appeared at court in shoes, the buckles of which were completely covered with diamonds. A specialist in precious stones, Mr. von Gonto, estimated them at 200 thousand francs.
Saint-Germain seems to have had fabulous wealth, the source of which is unknown, which in turn caused a lot of gossip and rumors spread by his enemies. At the same time, he was a generous and magnanimous person and often disinterestedly helped people in need of his help, and also tried to enrich our world through his inventions and projects, on which he conducted mostly at his own expense. The count had an excellent collection of amazing diamonds and diamonds, which he often carried with him, willingly showing them to those who wished at various receptions and often gave someone he liked a precious stone. However, one should not think that Saint-Germain was a frivolous spender, on the contrary, this person was always with money, never asked for a loan, in turn helped those in need and invested in undertakings and inventions useful to mankind.
Apparently, Saint-Germain was brilliantly educated. It seemed that, having lived only one life, measured out to a mere mortal, it was impossible to comprehend those many sciences, crafts and arts, which, nevertheless, he perfectly studied. Traveling a lot and often around the world, Saint-Germain had an excellent knowledge of foreign languages. He was so fluent in English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, as well as Italian and Greek, that even the natives of these countries could not catch the slightest foreign accent in his pronunciation, and experts in classical languages were quite surprised at how easily the count could move from one language to another. But the graph's linguistic knowledge was by no means exhausted on this. Saint-Germain spoke excellent Sanskrit, Arabic and Chinese, Hungarian and Turkish, Russian, and this at a time when the teaching of most oriental languages at the universities of Montaigne and Louis the Great was put out of hand. According to some experts in the field of Oriental languages, Saint-Germain could have gained such deep knowledge only if he had spent a very long time in Asia. So who was this mysterious man anyway?
Origin mystery.
“... a man without a homeland, without a clan and tribe, without age, like the “immortal” Count Saint-Germain, about whom it is not known whether he is a Spaniard, a Portuguese Jew, a Frenchman or a Hungarian, if not a Russian.”
A. F. Stroev.

This mysterious man always appeared suddenly, as if from nowhere, it seemed that he had no past, and at the same time, people who knew him could not help but note that this man seemed to have access to some age-old wisdom and knowledge, even time was subject to him . To direct questions about his origin and age, the count usually silently and mysteriously smiled. However, there are various hypotheses about its origin, place of birth and possible parents. Some of them look more convincing, others less, but we will focus on the most famous and reliable version of the origin of Saint Germain, which is based on his personal confession made in a conversation with Landgrave Karl of Hesse-Kassel: “He told me that, no doubt, was the fruit of the marriage of Prince Rakoczy of Transylvania with his first wife named Tekeli. As a child, he was given into the care of the last Duke de Medici (Giovano Gasto - Grand Duke of Tuscany - the last representative of the famous Florentine family), who adored the baby and laid him at night in his bedchamber. When the grown-up Saint Germain found out that his two brothers, the sons of the Princess of Hesse-Wanfried (Rheinfels), turned out to be subjects of Emperor Charles VI and received by title, now called St. Charles and St. Elizabeth, he decided to call himself Sanctus Germano , that is, the Holy Brother (from the name of the Italian town of San Germano, where he grew up, apparently, the name Saint Germain comes from - ed.). I, of course, do not have sufficient information to prove his high origin, but I am very aware of the powerful patronage of the Duke de Medici, rendered to Saint-Germain, from another source.
Another person adheres to the same version - a well-known and authoritative researcher and writer, Cesare Cantu, the librarian of the main Milan book depository, who had access to the Milan archives. Here is what he reports in his work “History of Italy”: “The Marquis of San Germano is, apparently, the son of Prince Ragotsi (Rakoshi) of Transylvania; he visited Italy several times. Much has been said about his travels in Italy and Spain. The last Grand Duke of Tuscany (Duke de Medici) provided him with generous patronage, he also gave him an excellent education.
Apparently, Saint-Germain continued his education at the famous Siena University, famous for its outstanding teachers. Many sources point to this. Madame de Genlis also mentions in her memoirs that she heard about Saint-Germain when she was in Siena.
However, there is some inaccuracy in the memoirs of the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, and it lies in the fact that Ferenc II Rakoczi was never married to Countess Tekeli. Most likely, the Landgrave simply got confused in complex foreign names and misunderstood the Count of Saint-Germain.
In fact, the Countess Tekeli, mentioned in the Landgrave's memoirs, was most likely the mother of Ferenc II and the grandmother of Saint-Germain. In order to better understand the genealogy of Saint Germain, let's turn to an old German book - "The Genealogical Guide", which was published in 1734 in Leipzig. Thanks to the preserved historical information, we can trace the dramatic development of events that took place in the Rakoczy family. The grandfather of our illustrious mystic, the ruler of Transylvania, Ferenc I Rakoczi, fought for the independence of his principality from the aggressive and growing power of the Austrian Empire. After his death, the widow Ilona Zrini and their children, including Franz Leopold (Ferenc II Rakoczi), were captured by the Austrian Emperor. Subsequently, Franz Leopold was escorted to the Vienna court. Here is what is said about the future fate of the family and the events that took place in March 1688: “The widowed princess (who later remarried, this time to a count with the sonorous name of Tekeli) was forced to entrust her children, along with their share of the inheritance, to the arms of the emperor , who announced that from now on he takes on the "fatherly" functions of a patron, protector and responsible for their upbringing and education.
After the prince came of age, the Emperor of Austria returned his hereditary possessions, albeit in a rather reduced form. In 1694, Prince Rákóczi married Charlotte Amalia, daughter of Landgrave Karl of Hesse-Wanfried of the Reinfels line. The wedding celebrations took place in Cologne am Rhein. Three children were born from this marriage. Around the same time, Prince Rakoczi, who sought to gain independence from the Austrian Empire, stands at the head of a noble conspiracy, but is defeated. All the property of the prince was confiscated, and his sons had to abandon their father's surname and take pseudonyms.
According to the German historian Georg Hezekl, Count Saint-Germain is the youngest son of Franz Leopold Rakoczy and Princess Charlotte Amalia of Hesse-Wanfried. After the failure of the uprising organized by Prince Rákóczi, his sons were captured by the Austrians, then taken under the care of the Emperor of Austria, who forced them to give up the Rákóczi name and were raised in the Catholic faith. In 1734, when the eldest son, who took the name of San Carlo, fled from Vienna to Rodosto, his father died in Turkey, who never managed to achieve the independence of Transylvania from the Austrian Empire. He was buried in Smyrna, and later the eldest son received from Turkey the pension due to his father and was named after Prince Siebenbürgen (Transylvanian). Following in the footsteps of his father, he continued the liberation struggle against the Austrian invaders, but was defeated by Prince Ferdinand Lobkowitz and died, abandoned and forgotten by everyone in Turkey. His younger brother, later known as Saint Germain, did not take part in this liberation struggle and, being quite loyal to the Austrian government, managed to remain on good terms with the authorities.
If we adhere to this version of the origin of the count, then we can explain some of the qualities inherent in Saint-Germain - his refined manners, education, as well as the fact that he was accepted in high society as his own and he was well-connected to the powerful of this world, the kings, which repeatedly caused envy and hostility towards their person of close courtiers. In the end, this version explains his fabulous wealth, which, also due to human envy and self-interest, became the subject of numerous gossip by the count's enemies. And the fact that he was so reluctant to talk about his past is not an echo of the past political battles of his father and brother, which were eventually destroyed? ..
The Amazing Life and Adventures of the Count of Saint-Germain.
In 1737, the count visited Persia, where he was at the court of Nadir Shah until 1742. Saint Germain claimed that it was here, in the East, that he began to comprehend the secrets of Nature. Probably, his alchemical knowledge in the technique of improving diamonds, as well as other stones, was obtained there. However, the count's extensive knowledge of alchemy, chemistry and other sciences suggests a longer period of study than the time he spent in Persia from 1737 to 1742. True, unless he had visited the East before? Such reflections are also encouraged in their books by some writers and researchers of the life of Saint-Germain, for example, Lamberg and F. W. von Barthold.
In 1743, the Count of Saint-Germain went to England, where, after spending several years, he was arrested in 1745 on suspicion of spying for the Jacobites. We can learn the details of this incident from various reports that have come down to our days. Thus, in a letter from Horatio Walpole to the British envoy in Florence, Sir Horatio Mann, dated December 9, 1745, Wallpole reports the following: “The next day a very strange man was arrested, who called himself Comte Saint-Germain. For two years now he has been in England, but it is not known who he is and where he came from, but according to his own assurance, the name he uses is not real. He sings and plays the violin wonderfully, is eccentric and not very sensible.”
Also, evidence of his stay in England and subsequent arrest can be found in the issue of the Weekly Journal or British Journalist for May 17, 1760, when the earl once again visited the British Isles. The article reports that, according to information received from the correspondent of the Brussels Newspaper, a man who recently arrived from Holland and introduced himself as Count Saint-Germain was born in Italy in 1712. Further, the correspondent notes the count's versatile knowledge in various sciences and arts, especially in chemistry, music, as well as foreign languages, in which he spoke fluently and without an accent. Saint-Germain's aristocratic origin was betrayed by his refined manners - he was a real gentleman and an eminently pleasant conversationalist. The article mentions interesting details of his arrest in 1746 (1745 according to other sources) during Saint-Germain's stay in England. As it became known during the investigation, someone who was jealous of Saint-Germain for the lady quietly dropped a fake letter into his pocket, allegedly from a pretender to the British throne, in which the count was mentioned as an accomplice in the impending coup, after which he reported on Saint-Germain to the authorities. At that time, the accusation of such a serious crime was almost certainly threatened with death, however, during interrogations, the complete innocence of the count was proved. He was released from custody and soon invited to dinner with Lord Harrington, William Stanhope, where he was apologized for the mistaken accusation.
From England, the count goes to Vienna, where he lives luxuriously from 1745 to 1746, rotates in high society, makes new acquaintances among influential and noble persons of that time. The Prime Minister of Emperor Franz I, Prince Ferdinand Lobkowitz, who became Saint-Germain's best friend, introduces him to the French Marshal Belle-Isle, sent on especially important business to the Vienna court by King Louis XV. Marshal was so fascinated by the brilliant and witty Saint-Germain that he was not slow to invite him to visit Paris.
From 1750 to 1758, the count travels around Europe and visits Vienna more than once, where he carried out orders not only for Louis XV, but also for Charles of Lorraine. However, in 1755, Saint-Germain, as it turns out from a letter to the Count of Lamberg, went to India for the second time in the company of the famous adventurer and commander, General Clive of India, Baron de Plassy: “To my knowledge in the art of melting precious stones,” writes Saint-Germain, - I owe much to my second voyage to India, which I undertook in 1755, accompanied by General Clive, who was under the command of Vice Admiral Watson. During my first journey, I could only suspect the existence of such a wonderful mystery. All experimental attempts made by me in Vienna, Paris and London did not bring a positive result. The painstaking work was interrupted just at the time I have already mentioned.
Returning from a trip, Saint-Germain in 1757 was presented by the Minister of War, Marshal and Count of Belle-Isle at the French court in Paris, where Louis XV meets the Count as his old acquaintance and shows him his great disposition. In particular, the king provides him with part of the rooms of the Chateau de Chambord, which had a laboratory equipped to conduct the most complex experiments. From all this, as well as from some sources, we can conclude that Louis XV and the Count of Saint-Germain were familiar before. There is an opinion that the Count Saint-Germain was a so-called "free agent", a spy who was instructed by European monarchs to carry out the most delicate cases for money, naturally secretly. The count could be an unofficial diplomatic courier or a secret negotiator - hence the frequent and sudden business trips to different countries, and often the count traveled incognito and under various assumed names. In addition, as you know, the count was arrested from time to time on suspicion of espionage, but he was always released with an apology. This version also partly explains the fact that he was familiar with and trusted by some monarchs, whose secret orders he probably carried out. From here could be a very solid income of the count, the unknown source of which was the reason for the gossip of his enemies and envious people.
More than once, the count's contemporaries noted his unique knowledge in the field of alchemical transformations of precious stones. So, for example, Madame Osse, mentions in her memoirs about one amazing case. In 1757, Louis XV, having heard about the count's amazing esoteric and alchemical abilities, turned to him with a somewhat unusual request. The fact is that the king had a medium-sized diamond with a flaw, which significantly reduced its value. According to the royal jeweler, a diamond with an existing defect was worth about 6,000 livres, while if there were no defect, it would cost at least 10,000. The king offered Saint-Germain to render him a service and correct the defect, and take 4,000 livres for himself as a reward. After carefully examining the diamond, the count set to work. He promised to fix the flaw and return it exactly one month later. At the appointed time, Saint-Germain appeared at the court and handed over to the king a diamond of the purest water. The precious stone was checked and weighed by the court jeweler Marquis de Gonto - the stone was the same, the weight did not change, but the defect that spoiled it disappeared! The jeweler paid 9,600 livres for it, but the king was so delighted with what he saw that he ordered the return of the diamond, which he intended to keep as a mystery, and added that Saint Germain must have millions, since he knows how to grow precious stones and turn diamonds. The count, however, did not react to these words in any way, noting only that he really knew some ways of obtaining precious stones and improving their properties, including growing pearls and ennobling their color.

Marquise de Pompadour. Among other great undertakings conceived by the count, Saint Germain promised the Danish king to design and build for him a seven-gun admiral's ship that could reach the shores of East India in a month or less and would not be affected by the wind. The design of the vessel assumed the absence of sails and masts, except for the sentinel one. A strong but simple hull that will not be afraid of the dangers and hardships of the sea. Also, this ship will not need sailors, at least it will be possible to get by with only a small number of them, since any person will be able to control the ship, thanks to a new wonderful navigation system. On this amazing ship, the count intended to put no less amazing guns. According to him, such a gun has no recoil, so it does not need a carriage and wheels, and has such amazing accuracy that it can split a rope with a shot. In addition, its incredible rate of fire is at least ten times faster than any other cannon. However, the gun barrel, even with such an intense rate of fire, does not warm up at all. Only one person can serve it. The design of the cannon allows him to quickly reload it. Among other advantages of the miracle cannon, Saint-Germain notes its compactness and long range, which is much superior to other weapons. Isn't it amazing how the ship described by Saint-Germain without sails is similar to the steel monsters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries - the first battleships, and the count's rapid-fire cannon, to steel rifled guns loaded from the breech. Alas, these inventions seemed so unusual and incredible to his contemporaries that the graph's project was not accepted and was not considered seriously. Here is what the Minister of Foreign Affairs von Bernstorf and the Danish Ambassador Count von Wedel-Fries write in a note accompanying the count's message to the king: “We, Gracious Sovereign, do not appreciate lovers of secrets and projects; as it seems to us, the honor of the King urgently requires that the public does not think that His Majesty is bringing people like him closer to himself ... "and:" his projects seemed to me so extensive, not to say paradoxical, that I wanted to get rid of him, but his insistent requests compelled me to give in…” In 1760, the Count of Saint-Germain went on behalf of Louis XV to The Hague on a secret political mission. According to Baron de Gleichen, the purpose of this mission was to conclude a separate treaty with Prussia and England, during the Seven Years' War, in order to break the alliance between France and Austria, which was supported by the French Foreign Minister, the Duke de Choiseul, who then had great political authority in the country. Therefore, in order to avoid dangerous political dissonance during the war, Marshal Belle-Ile developed a plan for secret negotiations on a separate peace. The marshal's plan, secretly from Chauzel, was supported by King Louis XV and his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour, providing for this the entire available arsenal of tricks that the monarch's own intelligence had - the "King's Secret", which, moreover, often conflicted with the Foreign Ministry. The Marshal recommended the Count of Saint- Germain as a confidant in the upcoming negotiations and asked him to give the count full authority to negotiate on behalf of France. The king, having familiarized himself with the recommendations of the marshal, approved the candidacy of the count for the role of a secret parliamentarian and, having honored him with his audience, personally handed him all the papers due, along with a special cipher. Details of Saint Germain's political activities during the Seven Years' War can be gleaned from the archives of the British Museum, in particular from the diplomatic correspondence between the representative in The Hague, General York, and Lord Holderness in London. The general, in his letter dated March 14, 1760, reports that he personally spoke with Saint-Germain, who came to him on behalf of Louis XV, Madame de Pompadour and Marshal Belle-Ile. By them, he was authorized to negotiate a truce between France and England. Soon a response was received from Lord Holderness, expressing the position of King George II of Great Britain. The letter said that His Majesty King George II was interested in conducting these negotiations, as they correspond to the interests of Great Britain, and Saint-Germain may well be authorized to conduct such negotiations. Holland was to act as an intermediary in peace negotiations between England and France, and, according to Kauderbach, Minister of the Saxon court in The Hague, Saint-Germain provided such mediation by establishing relations with the President of the Council of Plenipotentiaries of the Province of Holland, Count Bentinck. The Prussian king Frederick II the Great also became interested in Saint Germain's proposal for peace negotiations. While in Holland, Saint-Germain wrote a letter dated March 11, 1760, to Madame de Pompadour, in which he expressed his devotion to her and reported on the successes achieved, thanks to which an opportunity opened up for France to conclude a truce and perhaps even establish peace in Europe, bypassing the Congress. In addition, the count intended to obtain for France, a huge cash loan of 30 million florins. However, these plans were not destined to come true, the spies of Choiseul found out about the preparation of secret separate negotiations and reported this to the duke. Now that Choiseul knew of the mission of Saint-Germain, he made every effort to discredit and destroy the count, who in the current situation was very dangerous to him, and thereby prevent him from interfering in state affairs of particular importance. The Duke of Choiseul insisted on publicly discrediting Saint-Germain in the press, slandering him in publications posted in French newspapers, in which he exposed the count as an adventurer, spy and a person dangerous to the state. As a result, Louis XV was forced to give in to pressure from Choiseul and the Foreign Ministry, to cancel the powers of the count, declaring Saint-Germain an adventurer who was not trustworthy. As a result, separate negotiations were disrupted, and the count, having fallen out of favor with the king, was forced to leave the country in order to avoid imprisonment in the Bastille. Already in April 1760, on his way to England, he crossed East Frisia, and on June 3, 1760, an article appeared in the news of the London Chronicle about a mysterious stranger who had just set foot on British soil. The article was about none other than the Count of Saint-Germain. Despite French demands to extradite Saint-Germain, a refusal was received. A stay in the British Isles has always inspired the Earl, who was an all-round gifted man, not only a scientist and mystic, but also an excellent artist and skilled musician. The British Museum has preserved music books with musical works composed by the earl during the period from 1745 to 1760 during visits to this country.
Later, one Landsknecht, a German who served in those days in the Russian guard, will write in his memoirs what he heard while playing billiards from Grigory Orlov: “If it wasn’t for him, then nothing would have happened.” So he said of Saint-Germain, recalling the events of the coup of 1762. It is also known about the cordial meeting of Saint-Germain with another Orlov, Alexei, an associate of Catherine II and the brother of her favorite, Grigory Orlov. This meeting took place somewhat later, in 1774, in the city of Nuremberg, when Saint-Germain was visiting the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who witnessed this warm meeting. Orlov warmly embraced Saint-Germain, who for some reason was dressed in the uniform of a Russian general, and after dinner, they retired for a long time in the office to resolve some important issue. No less interesting is the fact that Grigory Orlov paid Saint-Germain large sums of money for predicting the future military victories of Empress Catherine II. The fact is that the count claimed that he was able to foresee the events of the future by entering a long and deep trance, which could last from 37 to 49 hours. Then he unmistakably answered any question of the past or predicted the future. Sometimes, plunging into a trance, the count told about his wanderings through unknown lands or about contacts with the other world, with the spirits of the dead. The count owed these abilities to the knowledge he gained from the sages and sorcerers of Tibet and India. He was also proud of his knowledge of the language of animals and the ability to tame snakes and bees, which he learned from yogis. It was rumored that the count brought from the East a mysterious magical artifact, the so-called "Mirror of Saint-Germain", which reflected the events of the future. We learn about this mirror thanks to the confession of Cagliostro, a student of Saint Germain, which he made when he fell into the clutches of the Inquisition. Cagliostro claimed to have seen this mysterious artifact in Holstein when he was initiated by the count into the highest mystical degrees of the Knights Templar. Then he also saw the vessel in which the count kept his elixir of immortality. Needless to say, in times of intrigue, wars and great political changes, when Europe was seething, immersed in the cauldron of history, the Count's abilities were in great demand. His main clients in the delicate issues of the future were people endowed with great power, who, firstly, had something to lose, and secondly, they wanted even more of this very power. Therefore, Saint Germain's predictions concerned mainly the events of the not so distant future and were connected with the fate of quite famous people, whose questions he tried to answer. Often, King Louis XV of France and the Marquise de Pompadour used his predictions and advice. There was a legend that with the help of his magic mirror, the Count made a terrible prediction to the King of France Louis XV, seeing in the reflection the terrible fate of his offspring - the decapitated grandson of the Dauphin. The king was then horrified and in a rage drove Saint Germain away. This gloomy prophecy came true on January 21, 1793, a few years after the start of the French Revolution. The Bourbon king of France, Louis XVI, grandson of Louis XV, ascended the scaffold and was beheaded with a guillotine knife. Soon Saint-Germain leaves Russia and in 1763 stops in Brussels, where for several months he stays with Count Karl of Koblenz, who, in a letter to the Prime Minister Prince Kaunitsky, dated April 8, 1763, reports a number of curious news about Saint-Germain.
Once Casanova, while passing through Tournai, learned about Saint Germain's stay in this city. Despite the fact that the count did not receive anyone, Casanova wished to be introduced to him and wrote a letter to the count asking for a meeting. Saint Germain gave a positive answer, however, put one condition - Casanova must come to him incognito and leave his house before dinner. The count appeared before him in an oriental dress of strange cut, with a long beard; in his hand he had an ivory wand and looked like a real sorcerer. There were many mysterious alchemical devices around, various crucibles and vessels. Saint Germain told Casanova of his plans to set up a factory for the Count of Koblenz and then demonstrated one amazing alchemical experiment. The count asked Casanova for a coin, he gave him 12 sous. After that, Saint-Germain put the coin in a special vessel, heated it with a blowpipe and threw some small black seed on the coin. A few minutes later, the coin became very hot, and then some time later, after it had cooled, the count returned it to the guest. Casanova was amazed: “I began to examine the coin. Now it was gold. I never doubted for a moment that I was holding my coin in my hands (…) Saint-Germain simply could not quietly replace one coin with another.” (…) “ That coin really looked like gold, and two months later in Berlin I sold it to Field Marshal Keith, who showed great interest in the unusual gold coin of 12 sous. After this meeting, Casanova changed his opinion about the count for the better, although he was somewhat distrustful of what he saw. Casanova writes the following in his memoirs about Saint-Germain: “Oddly enough, as if against my will, the count unconsciously astonishes me, he managed to amaze me ...” Later, from Casanova’s memoirs, it will become known that Saint-Germain offered to help him to turn the Marquise d'Urfe into a man, who passionately desired this and which Casanova himself could not do, and also to cure him of syphilis, however, he rejected this proposal. In the period from 1763 to 1769, the Count of Saint-Germain would disappear, information about these six years of his life is extremely scarce. However, he apparently spent at least a year in Berlin between these dates. The memoirs of Mr. Dieudonné Thiebaud, which allow us to draw such a conclusion, have been preserved, here is what he writes: “A very remarkable person lived in Berlin for a whole year, calling himself Count Saint-Germain. Abbé Perneti immediately recognized him as an adept and came to us filled with many wonderful stories.” Once having learned about the Count's stay in the city, Princess Amelia wished to see him. During their acquaintance, the princess was very surprised by the attitude of the Count of Saint-Germain towards the elderly Baron Niehausen - they talked as if they were old friends, while the count often addressed the baron with the words “my son”, although he was much older than him. Soon the fact that the count was staying in Berlin became known to Madame de Troussel, who had heard a lot about this amazing and mysterious person and had long been burning with curiosity and really wanted to see him. She asked Abbot Perneti to arrange a meeting for them, and then one day, the count appeared in her house. In the ensuing conversation, they talked about the "philosopher's stone". The count noticed that many alchemists who seek to obtain it are greatly mistaken, placing their hopes in experiments to obtain the "philosopher's stone" on fire. However, as you know, fire is the element of destruction, while the truth should be sought in creation. Whether Count Saint-Germain managed to reveal the secret of the legendary "philosopher's stone" remains a mystery, but the transformations to which he subjected precious stones and metals amaze to this day. Perhaps the count really knew some kind of alchemical recipe that allowed him to carry out these transformations? It is even known that once in a letter to Pyotr Ivanovich Panin, he offered to reveal to him the secret of gold production. There were other rumors that the count possessed the elixir of immortality, the secret of eternal youth. Saint-Germain really had some kind of phenomenal ability - over the years he did not change and did not age. People who had known him all their lives turned into old men, and the count remained the same as when they first met, many years ago. Naturally, this fact could not be hidden. Yes, and the count himself from time to time added fuel to the fire of gossip with his stories. At the court of Madame de Pompadour, it was said that once Saint-Germain made a gift to his favorite - a miraculous elixir of youth. A quarter of a century had passed since then, and this lady still retained the charm of youth. An equally entertaining story happened at one of the receptions, when Count Saint-Germain had a chance to accompany Italian arias on the piano to a young countess, later known as Countess de Genlis. Then the count asked the girl if she wanted to keep her voice, charm and beauty and remain the same young after many years. Sighing, the countess objected that, alas, this is beyond human capabilities, but what the count was talking about would really be charming. Smiling enigmatically, Saint-Germain promised the countess to fulfill this desire by presenting a special elixir on the day of her coming of age. Being an excellent chemist and alchemist, the count did from time to time give gifts to the ladies in the form of infusions and cosmetics for rubbing, which made them more beautiful. He never instilled in them a false hope of eternal youth, recognizing his powerlessness here, but promised them that they would be able to maintain freshness and youth for a long time thanks to his drugs. Between 1770 and 1773, Count Saint-Germain traveled widely, visiting Holland six times, stopping in the cities of Amsterdam, Ubergen and The Hague. In The Hague, the count lived in the ancient castle of Zorgfleet. At the end of June 1770, Saint Germain, together with his assistant and follower, the chancellor of Emperor Joseph II, Count Maximilian of Lamberg, visited the island of Corsica, where they carried out some alchemical research for the needs of the Masonic lodge. In addition, all in the same 1770, the count managed to visit Livorno, when the Russian fleet was stationed there. Dressed in the uniform of a Russian officer, he was introduced by Count Alexei Orlov as Count Saltykov. Here he presented the expedition with a gift, a recipe for "Aqua Benedetta", "Russian Tea", a healing drink, which the count compiled thanks to his deep knowledge of medicine and herbalism. This drink perfectly helped Russian sailors endure all the hardships of the hot climate during the Archipelago Company. Soon, news from the capital of France reaches the count that his enemy, the Duke of Choiseul, fell into disgrace and Saint-Germain is going to Paris. In 1773, the count spends some time in Mantua. Then he moved to Troisdorf and lived there from 1774 to 1776. In 1776, Saint-Germain moved to Leipzig, where Count Marcolini, on behalf of the court, offered him a high government post in Dresden, but Saint-Germain rejected this offer. The following year, 1777, the count appears in Dresden and conducts diplomatic work there with the Prussian ambassador von Alfensleben. In the same year, Saint-Germain met with D. I. Fonvizin, when he was passing through Germany. In 1779, the count appears in Hamburg and in the same year goes to Eckenfurd, in the Duchy of Schleswig, where he stays for a long time with Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel, the famous patron of alchemists. There they work fruitfully together, conduct a number of important alchemical experiments, which, in their opinion, can be of benefit to all mankind. Their research is mainly focused on obtaining various, healing herbal infusions, as well as dyes that are stable and cheap to manufacture. According to one of the legends, it was there that Count Saint-Germain admitted that he was 88 years old. However, earlier, he just as easily stated that he was over 500 years old.Count Saint-Germain died, according to some researchers, on February 27, 1784 in the Duchy of Schleswig, as evidenced by the entry in Eckernförd's church book. However, many authors believe that he simply moved away from worldly affairs for a while and, perhaps, again went to comprehend the secrets of the Universe somewhere in the East, as he had done more than once before. If Saint-Germain were an ordinary person, this, perhaps, would have ended our story about him. However, the count was and remains a man of mystery. No one knows for sure when he was born, just as no one knows the exact date of his death. There are only guesses, and therefore the count's adventures did not end at all in 1784, life went on ... "Life after death" and the Masonic activity of Count Saint-Germain. The death of the count in 1784 was reported in the newspapers, however, there are numerous witnesses who allegedly saw and communicated with Saint-Germain after the date of his official death. Moreover, these were people who knew the count well during his lifetime and could not confuse him with anyone else. One curious piece of evidence of the Count's activities after 1784 is the surviving list of Masonic lodge members who met in Paris in 1785. Among the names of the participants in this meeting is the name of Saint-Germain.
This mystical current arose in central Europe and began to spread rapidly throughout the enlightened world, capturing the minds of many prominent and influential persons of that time. The 18th century was the century of Freemasonry, everything mystical attracted and attracted the aristocracy of that time. It was fashionable and prestigious, however, only a select few became brothers of secret orders. But among these chosen ones were kings and princes, ministers and generals, people in whose hands was concentrated enormous power and wealth. And above all of them, within the order, according to many theosophists, including such as Helena Roerich and Helena Blavatsky, he stood - the envoy of the Grand Lodge, Comte de Saint-Germain. The purpose of the order of the Christian Rosenkreuz, built on ancient esoteric truths, was the dissemination of sacred science and knowledge, the comprehension of the nature of things and being. This order was a brotherhood of sages, philosophers, mystics and alchemists. And only a few of the Supreme Instructors of the order had access to sacred knowledge and controlled the spiritual evolution of mankind, thereby fulfilling the charter of a single Grand Lodge. According to many theosophists and esotericists, such a Mentor was Saint Germain, who possessed a certain mystical artifact - the Encrypted Rosicrucian Manuscript.
Blavatsky calls the count "the secret ruler of Tibet", a sage and a prophet from Shambhala, one of the three Great Himalayan Mahatmas, standing at the origins of the International Theosophical Society. And the famous theosophist Charles Leadbeater, in his book "The Life Hidden in Freemasonry", goes even further in his reflections, believing that the person known to us under the name of Saint Germain has experienced more than one reincarnation. Be that as it may, the count seems to have indeed reached a very high position in the Masonic lodges of different countries. Perhaps this explains his great wealth and the fact that he was at home among persons of royal blood, many of whom were also Freemasons ... As for the other facts of the count's activities after his official death, they are based mainly on the memoirs of the Countess d'Adhémar, the lady-in-waiting of Queen Marie Antoinette and Madame de Genlis. D'Adhémar writes in her memoirs that she saw Saint-Germain in 1788, that is, four years after the official date of his death. Then the count allegedly appeared to Marie Antoinette to warn her of the imminent mortal danger that the revolution would bring. Marie Antoinette was executed by guillotine on October 16, 1793, according to the decision of the Revolutionary Committee of France. The later recordings of the Countess d'Adhémar seem incredible at all. She claimed that she had seen Saint Germain more than once, in various dramatic stories of France, and their last meeting took place in 1820. Similar stories are found in the diaries of Madame de Genlis, who allegedly also saw the count after his official death. It's hard to say how true all these claims are, maybe the older ladies just mistook him for someone very similar, who knows... However, time is inexorable - people who personally knew Saint-Germain left this world. But, despite this, here and there, from time to time, information appears that the count was seen. Saint Germain is currently an Ascended Master, Hierarch of the New Age. In his last incarnation as the Count of Saint-Germain in the 18th century, he had a great influence on the course of world history. Most of his biographers and researchers agree that Saint-Germain is most directly related to the family of the Transylvanian princes Rakoczi from Austria-Hungary. According to the descriptions of his contemporaries, he was a man of medium height, proportionate build, with regular features. His gaze captivated everyone who looked into his eyes. Here is how Countess d'Adhémar describes Saint-Germain and his appearance at the French court: “He appeared ... at the court of the French king long before me. It was in 1743. Rumors reported that a certain incalculably rich, judging by the jewelry that adorned it, a foreigner had arrived at Versailles. Where did he come from? Nobody knew about this. Self-control, dignity, intelligence struck from the first minute of communication with him. He had a flexible and elegant figure, his hands were gentle, his feet were feminine in a small way ... His smile revealed the most beautiful teeth, a pretty dimple flaunted on his chin, his hair was black, and his eyes were kind, his gaze was penetrating. O! What were those eyes! I have never met their equal. He looked to be about forty-five years old. Another contemporary described Saint Germain in the following words: “Saint Germain is of medium height and refined manner. The features of his swarthy face are correct. He has black hair and an energetic soulful face. His posture is majestic. The count dresses simply, but tastefully. The luxury is manifested only in the large number of diamonds included in his toilet. They are worn on each finger, decorate the snuffbox and watch. Once he appeared at the court in shoes, the buckles of which were completely covered with diamonds ... "(1). Comte Saint-Germain was considered the most mysterious man of the 18th century. This mystery was manifested in everything. His life full of secrets, indefinite age, which caused a lot of rumors, direct acquaintance and communication with almost all monarchs and many political figures in Europe and Asia, participation in a number of major political events of that time, diplomatic activity, many talents and abilities, scientific research and technical inventions , alchemical experiments, healing, clairvoyance, prophetic gift ... The dates of his birth and his death have been shrouded in mystery. . The count did not seem to age. Isabelle Cooper-Oakley's The Comte Saint-Germain. Secrets of the Kings”, written in 1911, provides evidence of people who saw the count. They cover the period from 1710 to 1822 (note that in 1710 this mysterious man already looked 45 years old). Here is the earliest mention: “The elderly Countess von Gergy, who fifty years earlier had been with her husband in Venice… approached the Count: Would you be so kind, - asked the countess, - to answer me one question? I would like to know if your father was in Venice in 1710? No, madam, - calmly answered the count, - my father died long before that time. However, I myself lived in Venice at the end of the last and the beginning of this century and had the honor of courting you, and you were so kind in praising the barcarolles of my composition, which we sang with you. I'm sorry, but this is not possible. Comte Saint-Germain, as far as I know, was at least forty-five years old in those days, and you are about the same age now. Madame," replied the Count with a smile, "I am very old. In that case, you are probably over a hundred years old now. It is quite possible" (1). The Countess d'Adhémar, already mentioned above, in her diary names the date of the last meeting with Saint-Germain - "on the eve of the assassination of the Duke of Berry (1820)". And he looked the same as when they first met. Saint Germain spoke many languages , and so freely that he was mistaken for a native of the country whose language he spoke. These languages included French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Sanskrit, Greek, Chinese, Arabic and others. He knew history so well that it seemed as if he was a participant in the events he was talking about. With the virtuosity of a master, the count played the violin and piano without notes. , and not only romances, but also the most difficult concerts. The count painted beautifully in oils . The paints developed by him radiated a special brilliance on his canvases. The costumes of the people he depicted seemed to glow like precious stones. Saint Germain was skilled in healing and the use of medicinal herbs . Some of his contemporaries believed that the medicines he invented, coupled with the habit of simple food, strengthened the count's health and prolonged his life. At the court of the Persian Shah, where Saint-Germain was from 1737 to 1742, he did scientific research , including "showed his skill in the precipitation and ennoblement of precious stones, in particular diamonds" (2). The count made many discoveries in various fields of science and technology. According to Count Karl Koblenz, Saint-Germain developed mass production technologies. For example, his linen bleaching technology made the fabric look like Italian silk, and dressed leathers resembled the best morocco. Saint Germain invented the dyeing of silks and woolen fabrics with unprecedented quality, the coloring of wood in the most unusual colors by the method of deep impregnation, moreover, with the most common, and, therefore, very moderate cost compositions. Many of the inventions proposed by him have long become the property of human civilization. However, some of them still do not fit in our imagination. For example, Count Max Lambergsky wrote in 1775 that he saw a spinning wheel developed by Saint-Germain, on which two threads are formed at once, but this mechanism requires a split attention and simultaneous observation of the worker over these processes. Count Lambergsky noted with regret that people so far, due to the state of their consciousness and abilities, cannot work on this machine. This example speaks eloquently of the fact that then, at the dawn of the technological revolution, Saint-Germain tried to direct progress along the path of developing the internal abilities of man himself. Louis XV appreciated the art of Saint Germain in the field of alchemy so highly that he provided the Count with a laboratory and a residence in the royal palace at Chambord. The count's alchemical sessions, according to contemporaries, were nothing but a miracle. The travel geography of Saint Germain covers Europe, Asia, Africa, in addition, he is keenly interested in America. “He traveled the whole world,” wrote Madame de Pompadour, “and the king listened favorably to stories about his travels in Asia and Africa, stories about the courts of Russia, Turkey, Austria” (1). One of the most difficult aspects of his biography is related to politics. Either he is at the Persian court of Nadir Shah, exerting a beneficial influence on the petty and suspicious ruler, then he serves France, then he helps England, then he assists Prussia, then he is in close contact with representatives of the Austrian court, then he helps in organizing a coup in Russia and etc. His actions are guided by a clear understanding of historical processes and subtle political vision and foresight. He is always in the thick of things, in the center of world history and is always busy balancing the lost balance. So, King Louis XV entrusts Saint-Germain with the mission of establishing peace between France and England in order to save the former from disaster. Saint-Germain also takes part in the Russian coup of 1762, although there is only circumstantial evidence of his involvement in these events. However, the nature of the revolution speaks for itself. A.N. Barsukov in "Stories from Russian History of the 18th Century" reports that "a radical coup d'état" was carried out "without internecine bloodshed" (1). All the events of that day and night (June 28, 1762) look like the actions of a skilled surgeon working quickly and accurately. Among the participants and organizers of the coup, the brothers Grigory and Alexei Orlov stand out, who were in contact with Saint-Germain and brought Catherine II to the Russian throne. From the memoirs of the Countess d'Adhémar, we learn how Saint-Germain tried to save France from an impending disaster, and the royal family from death. Saint Germain warned Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette about the impending revolution, but all these attempts were, unfortunately, in vain. “It is an instructive and painful lesson,” writes Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “even of the highest wisdom, the well-meaning man who knew how to solve the world’s problems on which the rise and fall of nations depended, was forced to submit to the free will of mortals. He could advise, but not order, and if his advice was neglected, he could only leave” (2). Saint Germain was the Great Initiate, and therefore the philosophical and mystical side of his life is even more mysterious and difficult to study and understand. He wrote the classic occult work "Holy Trinosophy", using a mixture of modern languages with ancient hieroglyphics, as well as a number of poems of deep philosophical content. Saint Germain was the founder of secret societies , the leading figure among the Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Knights Templar of that time. A careful study of the Masonic archives, says I. Cooper-Oakley, "shows that Saint Germain was one of the elected representatives of the French Freemasons who were present at the Great Congress of Paris in 1785" (1). His invisible influence is felt in many spiritual societies that have arisen everywhere, and he has made efforts to unite these independent societies into a single whole. It should be noted that these spiritual societies are secretly or openly based on the same fundamental principles that the true messengers of the Great White Brotherhood put into practice: such as, for example, the evolution of the spiritual nature of man, reincarnation, causality, purity of life, Divine Omnipresent force. In his letters to E.I. Roerich calls Count Saint-Germain a member of the Himalayan Community, Stronghold of Knowledge and Light. A E.P. Blavatsky, in The Theosophical Dictionary, notes that "Comte Saint-Germain was certainly the greatest Oriental Adept that ever appeared in Europe." At the end of the 18th century, the count promised the Countess d'Adhémar that he would return again in 100 years. And so, at the end of the 19th century, Saint-Germain reappeared to assist Masters M. (El Morya) and K.Kh. (Kut Hoomi) and E.P. Blavatsky at the founding of the Theosophical Society. In the thirties of the last century, already in the ascended state, Saint Germain made contact with Gaius and Edna Ballard. In 1958, he began working with Mark Prophet through the Summit Lighthouse to publish the Ascended Master teachings on practical spirituality. Through Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Saint Germain has given many prayers and meditations to help solve the problems of our time, among which the Violet Flame decree is widely known. At present, he continues to give Messages along with other Masters through the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood T.N. Mikushin. Today Saint Germain is Lord of the Seventh Ray and patron of the Age of Aquarius. . He holds a post in the Hierarchy of our planet - the post of the Hierarch of the Age of Aquarius. He is the Great Patron of the Flame of Freedom , while his Divine spouse - the Lady Portia - patronizes the Flame of Justice. Ascended Lady Master Portia - Goddess of Justice. HISTORY OF IMPLEMENTATIONS:High Priest of Atlantis13,000 years ago, Saint Germain, as the High Priest of the Temple of the Violet Flame on Atlantis, supported with the help of invocations and his own causal body a pillar of fire - a fountain of singing violet flame, which, like a magnet, attracted the inhabitants of the near and far neighborhoods, striving to be freed. from everything that fettered the body, mind and soul. To achieve liberation, it was necessary to make one's own efforts: to make calls to the sacred fire and perform the rituals of the Seventh Ray. The temple was built of magnificent marble, the variety of colors ranging from pure white with violet and purple veining to the darker hues of the seventh ray spectrum. In the very center of the temple was a large round hall, finished with icy purple marble, with a dark purple marble floor. The height of a three-story house, this hall was surrounded by a whole complex of adjacent premises intended for worship and other activities of priests and priestesses who served the Flame and conveyed to the people its voice - the voice of Light and prophecies. All those who performed divine services before the altar of this Temple were previously preparing to receive the priesthood of the Ecumenical Order of Melchizedek in the monastery of the Lord Zadkiel - the Temple of Purification, which is located above one of the islands of the West Indies. In the brightest and darkest periods of past ages, Saint Germain continued to skillfully use the seventh ray momentum of his causal body, defending the freedom of those keepers of the flame in whom the "ember" lit at the altar of violet fire in his temple on Atlantis. He exalted the freedom of mind and spirit, himself being an example of such freedom. Recognizing the four sacred freedoms as the inalienable right of everyone, he protects our freedom from state encroachments, from unjust judgment, from incompetent interference in such areas as scientific research, the art of healing, and spiritual quest. Advocating the principle of granting basic human rights to every responsible and prudent people, brought up on the principles of freedom and equal opportunity, he always teaches us to defend our inalienable and sacred right to live in accordance with our highest perception of God. Here is what the Lord said: no rights, no matter how simple, can be secured for a long period of time unless backed up by spiritual virtue and Divine Law instilling compassionate righteousness in the performers. Samuel - Prophet of the LordSaint Germain again returned to his people, who were reaping the fruits of their own karma, as Samuel - the prophet of the Lord and judge of the twelve tribes of Israel (about 1050 BC), as God's messenger, who announced the liberation of the descendants of Abraham from the yoke of dishonorable priests - the sons of Eli and the Philistine invaders. Samuel, whose heart was marked with the special sign of the blue rose of Sirius, in his prophecies delivered to the recalcitrant Israelites, raised the same questions that are present in the discussions of the twentieth century - both are inextricably linked to God's commandments regarding karma, free will and mercy: "If you turn to the Lord with all your heart, then remove the foreign gods and Astarte from among you, and set your heart on the Lord, and serve Him alone; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines." Later, when King Saul turned away from God, Samuel freed the people from his tyranny by anointing David as king. Faithful to the prophetic line that runs through all his lives, Saint Germain was embodied as Saint Joseph from the family of King David, the son of Jesse. Joseph was destined to become the chosen vessel of the Holy Spirit, the father of Jesus, in fulfillment of the Lord's word to Isaiah: "And a branch will come forth from the root of Jesse, and a branch will grow from its root..." We see that in each of the incarnations of Saint Germain, one way or another, alchemy was present - the transfer of Divine Power. So, Samuel, chosen as the instrument of the Lord, handed over His sacred fire to David, performing the rite of anointing over him, and with the same true scientific accuracy took this fire from King Saul when the Lord took the kingdom of Israel from him. This hallmark of the adept of the Seventh Ray, often hiding under a modest guise, was also present in his incarnation by St. Alban, the first martyr in the British Isles (3rd century AD), as the ability to convert souls and control the forces of nature by the power of the Holy Spirit. Alban, Roman soldierAlban, being a Roman soldier, gave shelter to a priest hiding from persecution, was converted by him to Christianity and sentenced to death for allowing this priest to escape by exchanging clothes with him. His execution gathered a crowd of onlookers, and the narrow bridge could not accommodate everyone who wanted to cross to the other side. Then, listening to the prayer of Alban, the waters of the river parted. Seeing this, the shocked executioner, having converted to the faith of Christ, begged to be allowed to die instead of Alban. However, he could not help the saint. He himself was executed on the same day, following the martyr. Vladyka - Teacher of the NeoplatonistsBut not always Saint-Germain was in the ranks of supporters of the Christian church. He fought tyranny wherever he could; false Christian doctrine was no exception. As the Master - Teacher of the Neoplatonists, Saint Germain was the inspiration for the Greek philosopher Proclus (c. 410-480). He revealed to his student that in a previous life he had been a Pythagorean philosopher, and also explained to him all the feigned adherence to Christianity of Emperor Constantine and the value of the path of individualism, which the Christians called "paganism." Proclus, who headed the Academy of Plato in Athens and enjoyed universal respect, chose as the main thesis of his philosophy the principle of the existence of the only true reality - the One, which is God, the Divine Beginning, the ultimate goal of all earthly aspirations. The philosopher argued: "Behind the body is the soul, behind the soul - the thinking nature, and behind all rational beings - the One." In his incarnations, Saint Germain demonstrated an extremely extensive knowledge of God's Mind. And it is not surprising that his student also had a great breadth of knowledge: the works of Proclus cover almost all areas of knowledge. Proclus was aware that enlightenment and philosophy were given to him from above, and he counted himself among those through whom the Divine revelation is transmitted to mankind. Here is what his student Marinus wrote about this: “He clearly felt divine inspiration, for from his wise lips words fell like thick snow, his eyes shone, and his whole appearance testified to divine enlightenment.” Thus, clad in white robes, Saint Germain, whose shoes and belt were adorned with precious stones, radiant with the reflections of the stars of the far-off worlds, was that mysterious Lord, smiling from behind the veil, who put the images of his mind into the soul of the last great Neoplatonist philosopher. MerlinOne of the incarnations of Saint-Germain was Merlin - an unforgettable personality and in some ways unique. He often visits the shores of foggy Albion to suddenly appear and offer you a glass of sparkling elixir. He is an "old man" who comprehended the secrets of youth and alchemy, who studied the stars at Stonehenge and, as the legend says, could move stones with the help of his magical abilities, who even now does not need to suddenly appear on the stage of Broadway or in the forests of Yellowstone, or right next to you on one of the highways. For Saint Germain is Merlin.On January 1, 1987, Merlin spoke with his last prophecy to the heroes, knights, ladies, madmen and villains of Camelot of the Aquarian age. Merlin, dear Merlin never left us: enchanted by his spirit, we feel as extraordinary and unique as his diamond and amethyst jewelry were. Merlin is an irreplaceable Presence, it is a noisy whirlpool in which science, legends and fatal love are intertwined for Western civilization. Time of action - the fifth century. Amidst the chaos of the slowly dying Roman Empire, a king has emerged determined to unite a country torn apart by warring clans and plundered by Saxon conquerors. His associate was an old man - half a druid, half a Christian saint, a seer, a magician, an adviser, a friend who inspired the king for twelve battles, the purpose of which was to unite the country and establish peace. At some point Merlin's spirit went through a catharsis. It happened, as the legend says, during a fierce battle. From the spectacle of the carnage, Merlin found insanity: he simultaneously saw the past, present and future (a feature characteristic of seers). Having retired to the forest, he lived there like a savage, and one day, sitting under a tree, he began to prophesy about the future of Wells. Here is how he talks about it: "I left my usual self. I became like a spirit, comprehended the depths of my people's past and could predict the future. I knew the secrets of nature, the flight of birds, the wanderings of stars, the gliding of fish." His prophecies, like magical abilities, served the sole purpose of uniting the tribes of the ancient Britons into a single kingdom. How great his influence was, recalls the old Celtic name for Britain - "Clas Myrddin", which means "Merlin's Lands". Acting as Arthur's adviser and assistant in the unification of the country, Merlin tried to turn Britain into a fortress impregnable to ignorance and superstition, where the achievements of Christ would flourish and where devotion to the One would grow in search of the Holy Grail. His labors in this field bore fruit in the nineteenth century, when the British Isles became the site of an unprecedented flourishing of private enterprise and industry in the last twelve thousand years. Camelot - the rose of England - grew and flourished, but at the same time, bad shoots began to appear at its roots. Black magic, intrigue, treachery - that's what ruined Camelot, and not at all the love of Lancelot and Guinevir, as Thomas Malory believes in his misogyny-filled narrative. Alas, because of the myth that he gave rise to, the true culprits remained in the shadows throughout all these long centuries. And they were Modred, the illegitimate son of Margot - the half-sister of the king, Morgan le Fay and a bunch of the same witches and black knights who managed to steal the crown, imprison the queen and destroy the bonds of Love for a while. Such Love, which the like of them (those who swore the path of the left hand) will never know and before which in reality, with all their desire, intrigues and sorcery, they are powerless. It was hard on the heart and soul of Merlin, a prophet who foresaw misfortune and desolation, the departure of joy and the sharp pain of endlessly continuing karmic retribution, when he approached the denouement of his own life, allowing the narrow-minded and insidious Vivienne to entangle herself with her own charms and put her to sleep. Alas, it is human to err, but to yearn in separation from his twin flame is the fate of many errant knights, kings, or a lone prophet who, perhaps, preferred to plunge into a pool of oblivion, if only to get rid of the bitter sense of shame for the dishonor with which he covered himself people. Roger BaconSome say that he is still asleep, but they clearly underestimate the restless spirit of this wise man, who again came to life, this time in thirteenth century England by Roger Bacon (c. 1214-1294). The returned Merlin - a scientist, philosopher, monk, alchemist and seer, carrying out his mission, contributed to the creation of the scientific foundations of the Age of Aquarius, the patroness of which one day his soul was to become. The redemption of this life was to be his voice, crying out in the intellectual and scientific wilderness of medieval Britain. In an era when theology or logic (or both) determined the scientific approach, he proposed to take the experimental method as the basis, openly declaring his belief that the earth is round, and harshly criticizing the limitations of contemporary scientists and researchers. Thus, he is rightfully considered the forerunner of modern science. He also predicted the emergence of modern technology. He foresaw the following inventions: a hot-air balloon, an aircraft, glasses, a telescope, a microscope, an elevator, ships and carriages with a mechanical engine. And although in order to determine the possibility of implementing these inventions, the seer hardly resorted to experiments, he wrote about them as if he had seen it with his own eyes! Bacon was also the first Westerner to correctly describe the method of making gunpowder, but keep his discovery secret for security reasons. No wonder people thought he was a magician! And like Saint Germain, who today asserts in his "Course of Alchemy" that "miracles" are the result of a precise application of the laws of the universe, Roger Bacon, by his prophecies, tried to show people that flying machines and "magic" machines are the natural fruits of the application of the laws of nature, which over time will be comprehended by people. Where, according to Bacon himself, did he draw his amazing insights? "The source of true knowledge is not foreign authorities, not blind faith in established dogmas," he argued. According to two of his biographers, Bacon believed that knowledge is "a deeply personal experience - a light that enters into a dialogue only with the innermost parts of the human soul through the objective channels of knowledge and thought." Bacon, a professor at Oxford and Paris Universities, decided to take a different path than the dogmatically thinking members of the academy. He searched for his own path in science and found it in his faith. When he became a member of the monastic order of the Minorite Franciscans, he said: "Studying the magnetic properties of ore, I want to conduct my experiments at the same shrine where my scientist colleague St. Francis experimented with the magnetic properties of love." However, the scientific and philosophical outlook of this monk, his bold attacks against contemporary theologians, his studies in alchemy, astrology and magic caused his own fellow Franciscans to accuse him of "heresy and harmful innovation" and imprisoned him in 1278. . His solitary confinement lasted a long fourteen years, and he was released only before his death. Despite the fact that his health was undermined, and he did not have long to live, he realized that his labors were not in vain and would have an impact on the future. The prophetic words with which he addressed his students testify to the great, revolutionary ideals of the indomitable spirit of this living flame of freedom - the immortal champion of our scientific, religious and political freedoms. Here is the prophecy: "I believe that humanity should accept as an axiom the principle of action for which I have laid down my life. This is the right to research. The creed of a free man is the ability to test by experience, this is the right to make a mistake, this is the courage to start an experiment from scratch "We, the explorers of the human spirit, must experiment and experiment and experiment again. Through centuries of trial and error, through the agony of searching ... let's experiment with laws and customs, with monetary systems and forms of government. Experiment until we chart the only true course, until we find our orbit, just as the planets found their orbits ... And then, finally, obeying the great impulse of a single creation, we will begin to move all together in the harmony of our spheres: a single community, a single system, a single plan. Christopher ColumbusFor the sake of establishing this freedom on Earth, the lifestream of Saint Germain returned again - this time by Christopher Columbus (1451-1506). But even two centuries before the three caravels of Columbus traveled, Roger Bacon laid the foundation for the discovery of the New World, writing in his work "Opus Majus" that "with a fair wind, the sea between the western tip of Spain and the shores of India can be overcome in just a few days." And although this statement was erroneous in that part of it, where it was stated that the country to the west of Spain was India, it served as the starting point for the discovery made by Columbus. Cardinal Pierre d'Aille quoted Bacon's statement (without reference to the source) in his treatise Imago Mundi. Columbus was familiar with this work and cited this passage in 1498 in a letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, noting that he had made his journey 1492 was largely impressed by this visionary statement. Columbus believed that it was to him that God destined to become "the messenger of the new heaven and the new earth, about which He spoke in the Apocalypse of St. John and about which even earlier he predicted through Isaiah." The vision took him back to the time of ancient Israel, and perhaps even further back in time. For, going in search of the New World, Columbus believed that he was an instrument of God, who, as he testified in 732 BC. e. Isaiah, will return "to himself the remnant of his people ... and gather the exiles of Israel, and gather the scattered Jews from the four corners of the earth." The 22nd century has passed, and during all this time nothing has happened that could be considered a clear fulfillment of this prophecy. But at the end of the fifteenth century, Christopher Columbus calmly prepared to begin its implementation, being in the firm conviction that he had been chosen by God to fulfill this mission. Studying Bible prophecy, he wrote out everything related to his mission. The result was a separate book, which he entitled "Las Proficias" ("Prophecies"), and its full title was as follows: "The Book of Prophecies Pointing to the Discovery of India and the Return of Jerusalem." This fact, although not often remembered, is nevertheless considered so certain among historians that even the Encyclopædia Britannica explicitly states that "Columbus discovered America by means of prophecy rather than astronomy." In 1502, he writes to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella: "It was not reason, mathematics, or maps that helped me to carry out this enterprise connected with India: the words of Isaiah completely came true." Columbus was referring to Isaiah 11, verses 10 to 12. So we see that, perhaps without even realizing it with his outer mind, Saint Germain recreated life after life the golden path leading to the Sun, a destiny that came full circle to glorify God's Presence and restore the lost golden age. Francis BaconIncarnated as Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the greatest mind of Western civilization, Saint Germain, through his various achievements, rapidly advanced the world to the state destined for the children of Aquarius. In this life he had the opportunity to complete the work begun during his incarnation by Roger Bacon. Scientists note the similarity of the thoughts of these two philosophers and even the similarity between the treatises of Roger "Opus Majus" and Francis "On the Dignity and Augmentation of the Sciences" and "New Organon". This will seem even more surprising if we note that the treatise "Opus Majus", which was not published during the life of Roger, was forgotten and did not appear in print until 113 years after the publication of Francis's treatise "New Organon" and 110 years after "On Dignity and Multiplication Sciences"! The unsurpassed wit of this immortal soul, this king-philosopher, priest and scientist, allowed him to never lose his sense of humor, steadily guided by the motto, which became a reaction to tyranny, torment and adversity: if they defeated you in this life, come back and defeat them in the next! Francis Bacon is known as the founder of the inductive and scientific methods of cognition, which made a decisive contribution to the process of creating modern technologies. Saint Germain foresaw that only applied science could save mankind from poverty, from hard work for a piece of bread and enable people to turn to the search for the higher spirituality that they once possessed. Thus, science and technology were the most important component of his plan for the liberation of the light-bearers, and through them - all of humanity. His next step was to be enlightenment on a universal scale, no more, no less! "Great renewal", rebirth after decline, apostasy, ruin - this is the formula that Bacon proposed to use as an instrument for changing the "whole world". This idea, which first occurred to him at the age of 12 or 13, and later, in 1607, took clear form in a book of the same name, truly launched the English Renaissance thanks to Francis's sensitive and active nature. Over the years, a group of intellectuals rallied around him, among whom was the entire color of the writers of the Elizabethan era: Ben Johnson, John Davis, George Herbert, John Selden, Edmund Spenser, Sir Walter Rayleigh, Gabriel Harvey, Robert Greene, Sir Philip Sidney, Christopher Marlowe, John Lily, George Peel and Lancelot Andrews. Some of them were members of a secret society created by Francis together with his brother Anthony while still studying at one of the judicial schools in London. This group of young men called themselves the "Knights of the Helmet" and set as their goal the improvement of education by spreading the English language and creating a new literature, written not in Latin, but in a language understandable to any Englishman. In addition, Francis initiated the translation into English of the Bible (King James Bible), as he was convinced that independent reading of the Word of God should be accessible to the common man. Moreover, in the 1890s, two ciphers were found - one using a verbal cipher, the other using a letter cipher, placed in the original edition of Shakespeare's folios. It follows from the reading that the plays, the authorship of which was attributed to an actor from the squalid village of Stratford-upon-Avon, were actually written by Francis Bacon. It was he who was the greatest literary genius of the Western world. He was also the inspirer of many political ideas that formed the basis of Western civilization. Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jeremy Bentham considered Bacon's heritage as a starting point for the development of their own concepts. His revolutionary principles became the mechanism that ensured the progressive development of our world. They, like no other, represent the quintessence of the "will be done" spirit. "People are not two-legged animals," Bacon argued, "but immortal Gods. The Creator endowed us with a soul corresponding to this whole world, but at the same time not content even with the whole world." Francis Bacon continued the work that he had begun when he was Christopher Columbus, contributing to the colonization of the New World, because he knew that it was there that his ideas could take deep roots and be most fully developed. He convinced James I to grant privileges to Newfoundland, and he himself served on the board of the Virginia Company, which provided financial support to Jamestown, the first English settlement in America. He was also the founder of Freemasonry, an organization that set as its goal the liberation and enlightenment of mankind, whose members made a significant contribution to the creation of a new state. However, he could have been even more useful to England and the whole world if he had been allowed to fulfill his destiny to the end. Ciphers similar to those found in the texts of Shakespeare's plays were also contained in the writings of Bacon himself, as well as in the works of many of his friends. With their help, Bacon set out the true story of his life, told the thoughts of his soul, everything that he would like to bequeath to future generations, but could not openly publish because of fear of the queen. In them, he revealed the secret of his life: he should have become Francis I, King of England, as he was the son of Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley, Lord of Leicester, born four months after their secret wedding. However, the Queen, wishing to maintain her status as a "Virgin Queen" and fearing that in the event of publicity of the fact of her marriage, she would have to share power with the ambitious Leicester and that the people might prefer the heir to herself and demand to cede the throne to him, ordered Francis, under pain of death, to keep secret of their true origin. Throughout his life, the queen kept him "in limbo": she did not appoint him to public office, she never publicly recognized her as her son, she did not allow plans that could benefit England to be carried out. Yes, she never allowed her son to lead Britain into a golden age, which could have been the result of his reign, but did not take place. What a bitter fate: the adamant, arrogant queen mother confronts her son - the prince of the golden age! Francis grew up as an adopted son in the Bacon family (Sir Nicholas and Lady Anne) and only at the age of fifteen learned from the lips of his real mother the truth about his origin and that he was deprived of any hope of inheriting the throne. In one night, his world turned into ruins. Like the young Hamlet, he pondered over and over again the question: "To be or not to be?" It was his question. In the end, he decided not to rebel against his mother, and later against her worthless heir James I. He did so, although he was aware of what a great service he could do to England, seeing this country as it "could become under prudent government." He felt in himself the strength to become such a monarch as the country did not yet know, to become the true father of the nation. He wrote that he felt "impulses of god-like patriarchal care for his people" - this was felt by the memory of the emperor of the golden age. Fortunately for the world, Francis decided to pursue the goal of universal enlightenment along the path of literature and science, acting as a councilor to the throne, a supporter of colonization and the founder of secret societies, thereby restoring the connection with the mystery schools of antiquity. His wounded soul was looking for a way out; it was the writing of ciphergrams addressed to future generations, in which he told his aspirations. By the end of his life (he died in 1626), Francis Bacon, despite persecution, the fact that his many talents remained unrecognized, came out victorious over circumstances that could overcome any ordinary person, and this is evidence of the formation of a true Ascended Master. Wonder Man of EuropeMay 1, 1684 - the day of the ascension of Saint Germain. And to this day, from the heights of his well-deserved power, which is above this world, he prevents all attempts to interfere with the execution here, below, of his plan for the "Great Renewal". Most of all, Saint Germain wanted to free God's people and therefore sought permission from the Lords of Karma to return to Earth in a physical body. Such grace was bestowed on him, and now he appears in the form of the Comte de Saint-Germain, the "amazing" aristocrat who shone at the courts of Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and became famous as a "miracle man." His goals were to prevent the French Revolution and ensure a smooth transition from monarchy to a republican form of government, to create a United States of Europe, to keep the lily of the three-petal flame of God identity in every heart. He could remove the vices of diamonds, disappear without a trace, as if dissolving in the air, write the same poem with both hands at the same time, he spoke many languages, he could speak fluently on any topic, in his presentation of history came to life, as if he were their eyewitness, - and although his extraordinary abilities won him favor at the courts of all Europe, Saint-Germain could not achieve the desired response. Members of the royal families were, of course, not averse to having fun, but it was not easy to convince them to give up power and set sail for the wind of democratic change. They and their envious ministers disregarded Saint Germain's advice, and the French Revolution broke out. In his last attempt to unite Europe, Saint Germain supported Napoleon, who, however, abused the power of the Lord and doomed himself to death. The opportunity to ward off the retribution of the age was thus lost, and Saint Germain was once again forced to leave people alone with their own karma. And this time, Vladyka, who openly acts as a divine mediator, performing miracles in front of everyone and giving prophecies that come true, was still ignored! Editor's Choice
