O Mestre Ascenso Saint Germain

Saint Germain é o chohan do sétimo raio. Juntamente com a sua chama gêmea, a Mestra Ascensa Pórcia, Deusa da Justiça, é o hierarca da era de Aquário. Ele também é o grande patrocinador da chama da liberdade, enquanto Pórcia patrocina a chama da justiça.

Saint Germain é conhecido como um diplomata que expressa as qualidades divinas da dignidade, da graça, da cortesia, do equilíbrio, e de verdadeiro estadista, por intermédio de todos que invocarem o sétimo raio. Ele é um membro da Casa de Rakoczy, fundada pelo Grande Diretor Divino, em cuja mansão na Transilvânia, a chama violeta da liberdade está atualmente entronizada.

The name Saint Germain comes from the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning simply “Holy Brother.”

His mission

Cada ciclo de dois mil anos relaciona-se a um raio específico. Jesus, chohan do sexto raio, ocupou o cargo de hierarca da era durante os últimos dois mil anos. Em 1º de maio de 1954, Saint Germain e Pórcia foram coroados diretores do ciclo do sétimo raio que se aproxima. Liberdade e justiça são o yin e o yang do sétimo raio de Aquário e, juntamente com a misericórdia, são a fundação para os demais atributos de Deus, que devem manifestar-se na sétima dispensação.

Saint Germain e Pórcia transmitem ao povo de Deus a dispensação para a sétima era e para o sétimo raio – o raio violeta da liberdade, da justiça, da misericórdia, da alquimia e do ritual sagrado – uma nova onda de vida, uma nova civilização, uma nova energia.

Como chohan, ou senhor, do sétimo raio, Saint Germain inicia as almas na ciência e no ritual da transmutação com a chama violeta. Ele é o sétimo anjo profetizado no Livro do Apocalipse (10:7), que vem patrocinar a conclusão do mistério de Deus, “como anunciou aos profetas, seus servos”.

Saint Germain diz:

Sou um ser ascenso, mas nem sempre foi assim. Não uma ou duas vezes, mas em muitas encarnaçõe, caminhei pela Terra como fazeis agora, confinado à estrutura mortal e às limitações da existência dimensional. Estive na Lemúria e na Atlântida. Vi civilizações erguerem-se e caírem. Vi consciências oscilarem quando a humanidade passava dos ciclos das eras de ouro para os das sociedades primitivas. Vi a humanidade fazer escolhas erradas e, com isso, desperdiçar a energia de centenas de milhares de anos de avanços científicos e até mesmo de graus de consciência cósmica que transcendem o que membros das religiões mais evoluídas já alcançaram.

Sim, considerei as opções e fiz escolhas. Com as escolhas corretas, homens e mulheres estabelecem a sua posição na hierarquia. Quando escolhi ser livre na magnificente vontade de Deus, libertei-me do ciclo mortal das encarnações e de justificativas de uma existência separada do Um. Conquistei a minha liberdade com aquela chama, a nota-chave do ciclo de Aquário registrada pelos antigos alquimistas, o elixir púrpura que os santos carregam.

Sois mortais. Eu sou imortal. A única diferença que há entre nós é que escolhi ser livre, e vós ainda precisais fazer essa escolha. Temos o mesmo potencial, os mesmos recursos, a mesma conexão com o Um. Eu optei por forjar uma identidade divina, porque, há muito tempo, uma voz tênue dentro de mim pronunciou o fiat de Alfa e do Deus vivente: ‘Filhos do Um, forjai a vossa identidade divina!’ Ouvi o chamado, na calada da noite, e respondi: ‘Forjarei!’ E quando disse, ‘Forjarei!’, todo o cosmo ecoou ‘Forjarei!’ A vontade de ser convoca a vastidão do potencial do ser.

EU SOU Saint Germain e venho para reivindicar as vossas almas e as chamas do vosso coração para a vitória da era de Aquário. Eu estabeleci o padrão para a iniciação da vossa alma. Estou na senda da liberdade. Trilhai esta senda e ali me encontrareis. Serei o vosso instrutor, se me aceitardes”.

Encarnações

Regente de uma era de ouro na Atlântida

► Artígo principal: [[Special:MyLanguage/Era de ouro no deserto do Saara|{{{2}}}]]

Mais de cinquenta mil anos atrás, Saint Germain foi o governante de uma civilização de ouro em um país fértil situado onde hoje se encontra o deserto do Saara. O governante era um mestre da antiga sabedoria e do conhecimento das esferas da Matéria, e as pessoas olhavam-no como modelo para a própria Divindade emergente. O seu império atingiu um ápice de beleza, de simetria e de perfeição, sem precedentes na oitava física.

Como o povo dessa civilização começou a interessar-se mais pelos prazeres dos sentidos do que pelo plano maior do Grande Eu Divino, um conselho cósmico instruiu o governante a deixar o império, pois dali em diante, o carma seria o guru do povo. O rei promoveu um grande banquete para os conselheiros e os servidores públicos. Os seus 576 convidados receberam um copo de cristal cheio de um elixir, que era uma “essência eletrônica pura”.

O elixir era um presente de Saint Germain, que protegeria as almas, de modo que, quando chegasse de novo a sua oportunidade na era de Aquário para trazer de volta essa civilização de ouro, elas conseguissem lembrar-se da sua Presença do EU SOU e tornarem-se um sinal para todos de que Deus pode viver e viverá com o Seu povo, quando as pessoas fizerem da sua mente e do seu coração uma habitação adequada para o Seu Espírito.

Durante o banquete, um mestre cósmico, identificado apenas pela palavra Vitória em sua testa, dirigiu-se à assembleia e falou sobre a crise que o próprio povo atraíra para si pela sua falta de fé. Repreendeu-os por terem negligenciado a Grande Fonte Divina, e profetizou que o império cairia nas mãos de um príncipe estrangeiro, interessado em se casar com a filha do rei. Sete dias depois, o rei e a sua família retiraram-se para a cidade dourada, que era a contrapartida etérica daquela civilização. O príncipe chegou no dia seguinte e assumiu o poder sem nenhuma resistência.

Sumo-sacerdote na Atlântida

Há treze mil anos, como sumo-sacerdote do Templo da Chama Violeta, no continente da Atlântida, Saint Germain, pelas suas invocações e pelo seu corpo causal, sustentou um pilar de fogo, uma fonte verdadeira da cantante chama violeta, que magnetizava as pessoas que vinham de perto e de longe para serem libertadas de todas as condições que lhes aprisionavam o corpo, a mente e a alma. Elas conseguiam-no por mérito próprio, oferecendo invocações e praticando rituais do sétimo raio ao fogo sagrado.

Os oficiantes do Templo da Chama Violeta eram treinados no sacerdócio universal da Ordem de Melquisedeque, no retiro do Senhor Zadkiel, o Templo da Purificação, situado onde atualmente está a ilha de Cuba. Esse sacerdócio combina a religião perfeita com a ciência perfeita. Foi ali que Saint Germain e Jesus foram ungidos pelo próprio Zadkiel: “Tu és um sacerdote eterno, segundo a ordem de Melquisedeque”.

Antes do afundamento da Atlântida, enquanto Noé ainda construía a arca e advertia as pessoas sobre o Dilúvio que estava par vir, o Grande Diretor Divino convocou Saint Germain e alguns sacerdotes fiéis para levar a chama da liberdade do Templo da Purificação para um lugar seguro, no sopé dos Cárpatos, na Transilvânia. Ali, realizaram o ritual sagrado para que os fogos da liberdade se expandissem, mesmo enquanto o carma da humanidade era cobrado por decreto divino.

Em encarnações seguintes, Saint Germain e os seus seguidores, sob a orientação do Grande Diretor Divino, redescobriram a chama e continuaram a proteger o santuário. Mais tarde, o Grande Diretor Divino, auxiliado pelo seu discípulo, estabeleceu um retiro no local onde a chama se encontrava e fundou a Casa de Rakoczy, a casa real da Hungria.

O profeta Samuel

No século onze a.C., Saint Germain encarnou como o profeta Samuel, proeminente líder religioso que, em época de grande apostasia, atuou como o último juiz de Israel e o primeiro dos seus profetas. Naqueles dias, os juízes não arbitravam apenas disputas, eram líderes carismáticos que, acreditava-se, tinham contato direto com Deus e podiam reunir as tribos de Israel contra os opressores.

Samuel was the messenger of God’s liberation of the seed of Abraham from bondage to the corrupt priests, the sons of Eli, and from the Philistines, who had slaughtered the Israelites in battle. He is traditionally named alongside Moses as a great intercessor. When the nation faced continuing threats from the Philistines, he courageously led the people in a spiritual revival, exhorting them to “return unto the LORD with all your hearts” and to “put away the strange gods.” The people repented and beseeched Samuel not to cease calling upon the LORD to save them. As he was praying and offering sacrifices, a violent thunderstorm was unleashed, allowing the Israelites to overtake their enemies. The Philistines never rose again in the days of Samuel.

The prophet spent the rest of his life administering justice throughout the land. When he grew old, he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel; but they were corrupt and the people demanded that Samuel give them “a king to judge us like all the nations.” Deeply grieved, he prayed to the LORD and received the direction that he must carry out the mandate of the people. The LORD told him, “They have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.”

Samuel warned the Israelites of the dangers that would befall them through their rulers, but they still clamored for a king. Thus he anointed Saul as their leader and charged him and the people to always obey the voice of the LORD. But when Saul proved to be an unfaithful servant, Samuel pronounced the LORD’s judgment upon him for his disobedience and secretly anointed David as king. When the prophet died, he was buried at Ramah; all of Israel mourned his passing.

The Dream of Saint Joseph, Philippe de Champaigne

Saint Joseph

Saint Germain was also embodied as Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus and husband of Mary. There are few references to him in the New Testament. The Bible traces his lineage back to David. It also recounts how when the angel of the Lord warned him in a dream that Herod planned to kill Jesus, Joseph heeded the warning and took his family to Egypt, returning after Herod’s death. Joseph is said to have been a carpenter and is thought to have passed on before Jesus began his public ministry. In Catholic tradition, Saint Joseph is revered as Patron of the Universal Church, and his feast is celebrated on March 19.

Saint Alban

In the late third century, Saint Germain was embodied as Saint Alban, the first martyr of Britain. Alban lived in England during the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Diocletian. He was a pagan who had served in the Roman army and settled in the town of Verulamium, later renamed St. Albans. Alban hid a fugitive Christian priest named Amphibalus, who converted him. When soldiers came to search for him, Alban allowed the priest to escape and disguised himself in the cleric’s garb.

Once his deed was discovered, Alban was scourged and sentenced to death. Legend says that so great a multitude gathered to witness his execution that they could not pass over a narrow bridge that had to be crossed. Alban prayed and the river parted to give passage to the crowd, whereupon his appointed executioner was converted and begged to die in his place. The request was denied and he was beheaded along with Alban.

Teacher of Proclus

Saint Germain worked from inner planes as the Master Teacher behind the Neoplatonists. He inspired the Greek philosopher Proclus (c. A.D. 410–485), the highly honored head of Plato’s Academy at Athens. Under the Master’s tutelage, Proclus based his philosophy upon the principle that there is only one true reality—the “One,” which is God, or the Godhead, the final goal of all life’s efforts. Proclus’s writings extended to almost every department of learning, from philosophy and astronomy to mathematics and grammar. He acknowledged that his enlightenment and philosophy came from above and he believed himself to be one through whom divine revelation reached mankind.

Merlin

In the fifth century, Saint Germain was embodied as Merlin—alchemist, prophet and counsellor at the court of King Arthur. In a land splintered by warring chieftains and riven by Saxon invaders, Merlin led Arthur through twelve battles (which were actually twelve initiations) to unite the kingdom of Britain. He worked side by side with the king to establish the sacred fellowship of the Round Table. Under the guidance of Merlin and Arthur, Camelot was a mystery school where the knights and ladies pursued the inner unfoldment of the mysteries of the Holy Grail and a path of personal Christhood.

In some traditions, Merlin is described as a godly sage who studied the stars and whose prophecies were recorded by seventy secretaries. The Prophecies of Merlin, which deals with events extending from Arthur’s time into the distant future, was popular in the Middle Ages.

Statue of Roger Bacon in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History

Roger Bacon

Saint Germain was Roger Bacon (1220–1292), philosopher, Franciscan monk, educational reformer and experimental scientist. In an era in which either theology or logic or both dictated the parameters of science, he promoted the experimental method, declared his belief that the world was round, and castigated the scholars and scientists of his day for their narrow-mindedness. “True knowledge stems not from the authority of others, nor from a blind allegiance to antiquated dogmas,” he said. Bacon eventually left his position as a lecturer at the University of Paris and entered the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor.

In his day Bacon was renowned for his exhaustive investigations into alchemy, optics, mathematics and languages. He is viewed as the forerunner of modern science and a prophet of modern technology. He predicted the hot-air balloon, a flying machine, spectacles, the telescope, the microscope, the elevator, and mechanically propelled ships and carriages, and wrote of them as if he had actually seen them.

His scientific and philosophical world view, his bold attacks on the theologians of his day, and his study of alchemy and astrology led to charges of “heresies and novelties,” for which he was imprisoned for fourteen years by his fellow Franciscans. But to those who followed after him, Bacon was “doctor mirabilis” (“wonderful teacher”), an epithet by which he has been known down the centuries.

Christopher Columbus

► Main article: Christopher Columbus

Saint Germain was also embodied as Christopher Columbus (1451–1506), discoverer of America. Over two centuries before Columbus sailed, Roger Bacon himself had set the stage for Columbus’ voyage to the New World when he stated in his Opus Majus that “the sea between the end of Spain on the west and the beginning of India on the east is navigable in a very few days if the wind is favorable.” Although the statement was incorrect in that the land to the west of Spain was not India, it was instrumental in Columbus’ discovery. He quoted the passage in a 1498 letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and said that his 1492 voyage had been inspired in part by this visionary statement.

Columbus believed that God had made him to be “the messenger of the new heaven and the new earth of which He spake in the Apocalypse of St. John, after having spoken of it by the mouth of Isaiah.” “In the carrying out of this enterprise of the Indies,” he wrote to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1502, “neither reason nor mathematics nor maps were any use to me: fully accomplished were the words of Isaiah.” He was referring to the prophecy recorded in Isaiah 11:10–12 that the Lord would “recover the remnant of his people...and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”

He was certain that he had been divinely selected for his mission. He studied the biblical prophets, writing passages relating to his mission in a book of his own making entitled Las Proficias, or The Prophecies—in its complete form, The Book of Prophecies concerning the Discovery of the Indies and the Recovery of Jerusalem. Although the point is seldom stressed, it is a fact so rooted in history that even Encyclopaedia Britannica says unequivocally that “Columbus discovered America by prophecy rather than by astronomy.”

Francis Bacon

► Main article: Francis Bacon

As Francis Bacon (1561–1626), he was philosopher, statesman, essayist and literary master. Bacon, who has been called the greatest mind the West ever produced, is known as the father of inductive reasoning and the scientific method, which to a great degree are responsible for the age of technology in which we now live. He foreknew that only applied science could free the masses from human misery and the drudgery of sheer survival in order that they might seek a higher spirituality they once knew.

“The Great Instauration” (meaning the great restoration after decay, lapse or dilapidation) was his formula to change “the whole wide world.” He first conceived of the concept as a boy, and when he later crystallized it in his 1607 book by the same name, it launched the English Renaissance.

Over the years Bacon gathered around himself a group of writers who were responsible for almost all of the Elizabethan literature. Some of these were part of a “secret society” he called “The Knights of the Helmet,” which had as its goal the advancement of learning by expanding the English language and creating a new literature written not in Latin but in words that Englishmen could understand. Bacon also organized the translation of the King James Version of the Bible, determined that the common people should have the benefit of reading God’s Word for themselves.

Ciphers discovered in the 1890s in the original printings of the Shakespearean plays and in the works of Bacon and other Elizabethan authors reveal that Bacon wrote Shakespeare’s plays and that he was the son of Queen Elizabeth and Lord Leicester. His mother, however, fearful of an untimely loss of power, refused to acknowledge him as her heir.

Toward the end of his life Bacon was persecuted and went unrecognized for his manifold talents. He is said to have died in 1626, but some have claimed that he secretly lived in Europe for a time after that. Triumphing over circumstances that would have destroyed lesser men, his soul entered the ritual of the ascension from the Rakoczy Mansion, retreat of the Great Divine Director, on May 1, 1684.

Le Comte de Saint Germain

The Wonderman of Europe

► Main article: Wonderman of Europe

Desiring above all else to liberate God’s people, Saint Germain sought and was granted a dispensation from the Lords of Karma to return to earth in a physical body. He appeared as “le Comte de Saint Germain,” a “miraculous” gentleman who dazzled the courts of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe, where they called him “The Wonderman.”

He was an alchemist, scholar, linguist, poet, musician, artist, raconteur and diplomat admired throughout the courts of Europe for his adeptship. He was known for such feats as removing the flaws in diamonds and other precious stones and composing simultaneously a letter with one hand and poetry with the other. Voltaire described him as the “man who never dies and who knows everything.” The count is mentioned in the letters of Frederick the Great, Voltaire, Horace Walpole and Casanova, and in newspapers of the day.

Working behind the scenes, Saint Germain attempted to effect a smooth transition from monarchy to representative government and to prevent the bloodshed of the French Revolution. But his counsel was ignored. In a final attempt to unite Europe, he backed Napoleon, who misused the master’s power to his own demise.

But even prior to this, Saint Germain had turned his attention to the New World. He became the sponsoring master of the United States of America and of her first president, inspiring the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. He also inspired many of the labor-saving devices of the twentieth century to further his goal of liberating mankind from drudgery that they might devote themselves to the pursuit of God-realization.

Chohan of the Seventh Ray

In the latter part of the eighteenth century, Saint Germain received from the lady master Kuan Yin her office as chohan of the seventh ray—the ray of mercy and forgiveness and of sacred ceremony. And in the twentieth century, Saint Germain stepped forth once again to sponsor an outer activity of the Great White Brotherhood.

In the early 1930s, he contacted his “general in the field,” the reembodied George Washington, whom he trained as a messenger and who, under the pen name of Godfré Ray King, released the foundation of Saint Germain’s instruction for the New Age in the books Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence and The “I AM” Discourses. In the late 1930s, the Goddess of Justice and other cosmic beings came forth from the Great Silence to assist Saint Germain in his work of bringing the teachings of the sacred fire to mankind and ushering in the golden age.

In 1961 Saint Germain contacted his embodied representative, the messenger Mark L. Prophet, and founded the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity in memory of the Ancient of Days and his first pupil, Lord Gautama—and the second, Lord Maitreya. His purpose was to quicken all who had originally come to earth with Sanat Kumara—to restore the memory of their ancient vow and reason for being on earth today: to serve as world teachers and ministering servants in their families, communities and nations at this critical hour of the turning of cycles.

Thus, Saint Germain recalled the original keepers of the flame to hearken to the voice of the Ancient of Days and to answer the call to reconsecrate their lives to the rekindling of the flame of life and the sacred fires of freedom in the souls of God’s people. Saint Germain is the Knight Commander of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity.

Hierarch of the Aquarian Age

On May 1, 1954, Saint Germain received from Sanat Kumara the scepter of power and from the Master Jesus the crown of authority to direct the consciousness of mankind for this two-thousand-year period. This does not mean that the influence of the ascended master Jesus has receded. Rather, as World Teacher from the ascended level, his instruction and his radiation of the Christ consciousness to all mankind will be even more powerful and all-pervading than before, for it is the nature of the Divine continually to transcend itself. We live in an expanding universe—a universe that expands from the center of each individualized son (sun) of God.

This dispensation means that we are now entering a two-thousand-year period when, by invoking into our beings and worlds the violet transmuting flame, the God-energy that the human race has misqualified for thousands of years may now be purified and all mankind cut free from fear, lack, sin, sickness and death, and all may now walk in the light as God-free beings.

At this dawn of the age of Aquarius, Saint Germain has gone before the Lords of Karma and received the opportunity to release the knowledge of the violet flame outside of the inner retreats of the Great White Brotherhood, outside of the mystery schools. Saint Germain tells us of the benefits of invoking the violet flame:

In some of you a hearty amount of karma has been balanced, in others hardness of heart has truly melted around the heart chakra. There has come a new love and a new softening, a new compassion, a new sensitivity to life, a new freedom and a new joy in pursuing that freedom. There has come about a holiness as you have contacted through my flame the priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek. There has come a melting and dissolving of certain momentums of ignorance and mental density and a turning toward a dietary path more conducive to your own God-mastery.

The violet flame has assisted in relationships within families. It has served to liberate some to balance old karmas and old hurts and to set individuals on their courses according to their vibration. It must be remembered that the violet flame does contain the flame of God-justice, and God-justice, of course, does contain the flame of the judgment; and thus the violet flame always comes as a two-edged sword to separate the Real from the unreal....

Blessed ones, it is impossible to enumerate exhaustively all of the benefits of the violet flame but there is indeed an alchemy that does take place within the personality. The violet flame goes after the schisms that cause psychological problems that go back to early childhood and previous incarnations and that have established such deep grooves within the consciousness that, in fact, they have been difficult to shake lifetime after lifetime.

Alchemy

► Main article: Alchemy

Saint Germain teaches the science of alchemy in his book Saint Germain On Alchemy. He uses the amethyst—the stone of the alchemist, the stone of the Aquarian age and the violet flame. The waltzes of Strauss carry the vibration of the violet flame and will help to put you in tune with him. He has also told us that the “Rakoczy March,” by Franz Liszt, carries the flame of his heart and the formula of the violet flame.

Retreats

► Main article: Royal Teton Retreat

► Main article: Cave of Symbols

Saint Germain maintains a focus in the golden etheric city over the Sahara Desert. He also teaches classes at the Royal Teton Retreat as well as his own physical/etheric retreat, the Cave of Symbols, in Table Mountain, Wyoming. In addition, he works out of the Great Divine Director’s focuses—the Cave of Light in India and the Rakoczy Mansion in Transylvania, where he presides as hierarch. More recently he has established a base in South America at the retreat of the God and Goddess Meru.

His electronic pattern is the Maltese cross; his fragrance, that of violets.
