[编辑] Occult and New Age views about St. Germain

Many groups in en:occultism honor St. Germain as an en:Ascended Master. As such, he is believed to have many magical powers such as the ability to teleport, levitate, walk through walls, influence people telepathically, etc. Some esoteric groups credit him with inspiring the en:Founding Fathers to draft the en:United States Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as providing the design of the en:Great Seal of the United States.

In the en:New Age beliefs regarding him, Saint Germain is always associated with the color violet, the jewel en:amethyst, and the en:Maltese cross rendered in violet (usually the iron cross style cross patee version); he is also regarded as the "Cosmic Master of the Seventh (violet) Ray"--according to en:Theosophy, the en:Seven Rays are seven metaphysical principles that govern both individual souls and the unfolding of each 2,158 year long en:Astrological Age. Since according to Theosophy the next en:Astrological Age, the en:Age of Aquarius, will be governed by the Seventh (violet) Ray (the Ray of Ceremonial Order), Saint Germain is sometimes called "The Cosmic Master of the Age of Aquarius".

[编辑] According to Max Heindel

In Rosicrucian en:Max Heindel's writings, the Count of St Germain (18th century) is described as one of the later incarnations of en:Christian Rosenkreuz, an enigmatic individual born in the en:14th century and the Head of the Rosicrucian Order. According to this author, Rosenkreuz had been en:Lazarus in a previous life, a biblical character in the en:New Testament (this would contradict the idea that he was Joseph, since they both lived at the same time) and en:Hiram Abiff, the Widow's Son of Freemasonry, in an earlier existence.^[1]

[编辑] According to C.W. Leadbeater

In the 1925 book The Masters and the Path by C.W. Leadbeater, an adherent of Theosophy, St. Germain is called both the "Comte de St. Germain" and the "Master Rakoczi". His previous incarnations are enumerated (the same ones as noted below in the Ascended Master Teachings). On page 240 of The Masters and the Path it is stated that when performing magical rituals in his castle in Transylvania, St. Germain wears "a suit of golden chain-mail which once belonged to a Roman Emperor; over it is thrown a magnificent cloak of crimson, with on its clasp a seven-pointed star in diamond and amethyst, and sometimes he wears a glorious robe of violet."

[编辑] According to Alice Bailey

In en:Alice A. Bailey's books, St. Germain is referred to as the "Master Rakoczi" or the "Master R." Alice A. Bailey's book The Externalisation of the Hierarchy (1934) gives the most information about his reputed role as a spiritual Master. His title is said to be the "Lord of Civilization". He is said to telepathically influence people who are seen by him as being instrumental in bringing about the new civilization of the Age of Aquarius. Alice A. Bailey said that "sometime after AD 2025" Master Jesus, Master Rakoczi, en:Kuthumi, and the others in the en:Spiritual Hierarchy (except en:Gautama Buddha) would "externalise" [British spelling of externalize], i.e., descend from the spiritual worlds, and live physically on Earth in en:ashrams surrounded by their disciples.

[编辑] According to Samael Aun Weor

In the 1953 book The Seven Words by Samael Aun Weor, Saint Germain is considered as being the ruler of the world's politics, since he belongs to the Jupiter's Ray, the Ray of Politics. Samael Aun Weor considers Saint Germain as an Immortal, a Son of Resurrection, someone who, using the Art of en:Alchemy, has overcome death. In this same book, the author claims that Saint Germain is Master Rakoczy, and the same en:Roger Bacon, en:Francis Bacon, and that he is still alive, living in Tibet with the same physical body from the medievals.

In the 1969 book Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, Samael Aun Weor tells that Saint Germain was the musical rival of en:Paganini. He also states that Saint Germain is able to speak any language, and is also able to make diamonds through the Art of Alchemy. Indeed, the author claims that Saint Germain knew and worked with the secret of Alchemy, the en:sexual transmutation enabled by white sexual magic. According to the same book, en:Cagliostro would have been the best disciple of Saint Germain.

[编辑] According to Ascended Master Teachings

According to The "I AM" Activity, en:The Bridge to Freedom, en:The Summit Lighthouse, and en:The Temple of The Presence, Saint Germain was embodied as:

• Ruler of a Golden Age civilization in the area of the Sahara Desert 70,000 years ago

• High priest on en:Atlantis 13,000 years ago, serving in the Order of Lord Zadkiel in the Temple of Purification, located where the island of Cuba is now located

• en:Samuel, eleventh century B.C. Religious leader in Israel who served as prophet, priest, and last of the Hebrew judges

• Saint Joseph, first century A.D., Nazareth. Husband of Mary and Guardian of Jesus

• Saint Alban, late third or early fourth century, town of Verulamium, renamed St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England. First British martyr - he had sheltered a fugitive priest, became a devout convert, and was put to death for disguising himself as the priest so he could die in his place

• en:Proclus, c. 410 - 485 A.D. Athens. The last major Greek Neoplatonic philosopher, headed the Platonic Academy and wrote extensively on philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, and grammar

• Merlin, c. fifth or sixth century, Britain. Magician and counselor at King Arthur's Camelot who inspired the establishment of the Order of the Knights of the Round Table

• en:Roger Bacon, c. 1220-1292 A.D., England. Philosopher, educational reformer, and experimental scientist; forerunner of modern science renowned for his exhaustive investigations into alchemy, optics, mathematics, and languages

• Organizer behind the scenes for the Secret Societies in Germany in the late fourteen and early fifteenth centuries. The creation of a fictional character named "en:Christian Rosenkreuz" was inspired by his efforts.

• en:Christopher Columbus, 1451-1506 A.D. Believed to have been born in Genoa, Italy and settled in Portugal. Discovered America in 1492 during first of four voyages to the New World sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain

• en:Francis Bacon, 1561-1626, England. Philosopher, statesman, essayist and literary master, author of the Shakespearean plays (according to I AM teachings), father of inductive science and herald of the scientific revolution. The claim is that Sir Francis Bacon made it appear that he died in 1626, arranging for another person's body to be placed his coffin, and that he even attended his own "funeral". He then supposedly traveled secretly to en:Transylvania (now part of Romania) to the Rakoczy Mansion, where he is said to have continued preparations for his physical Ascension under the direct training of the Master R (Great Divine Director). He had reportedly incarnated in that area a number of times in previous lifetimes and felt particularly at home there. Since Francis Bacon was sighted in the area at various times over the following decades, the local people concluded that he must be a member of the Rakoczy family (possibly related to Prince Ferenc Rakoczy II of Transylvania). Finally on en:May 1, en:1684 he is believed to have attained his physical Ascension. Not wanting to leave humanity in the physical octave without his direct visible assistance, he asked the Karmic Board for a special Dispensation to allow him to function in a physical tangible body among embodied mankind for a limited time period - even though he was already an Ascended Master. He was granted his request at the direct intercession of the Goddess of Liberty, and reappeared as:

• Le Comte de Saint Germain, the "Wonderman of Europe" in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He developed a reputation of being an outstanding alchemist, scholar, linguist, musician, artist and diplomat. He worked behind the scenes to try to establish a United States of Europe and to prevent the bloodshed of violent revolution. His powers included bilocation, appearing at court and then dissolving his form at will, removing flaws from diamonds and other precious stones, and precipitating an elixir that prevented aging. He was also ambidextrous and could compose simultaneously a letter with one hand and poetry with the other, or two identical pieces of writing with each hand. He visited en:Marie Antoinette and her intimate friend, Madame d'Adhémar, who later wrote the story of his abilities as an Adept, and that he had warned of the coming debacle and death of the king and queen. He also reportedly worked behind the scenes with en:George Washington and en:Benjamin Franklin to establish the United States of America.

• Ascended Master Saint Germain is now known as "The God of Freedom" for the Earth and, since en:May 1, 1954, the Hierarch for the current 2150 year cycle of the en:Age of Aquarius. The name "Saint Germain" is the name that Francis Bacon chose as his Ascended Master name upon his physical Ascension from the Rakoczy Mansion in Transylvania. It comes from the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning "Holy Brother".

• Conspiracy theorists who believe in NESARA, a purported secret law that the U.S. government denies the existence of, believe that St. Germain is still alive and is actively working with Jesus Christ and with benevolent en:space aliens to get the law enacted.
