The eighteenth century did not trust any of what, except for magic because of troubles beliefs is a religion shower, deprived of the true faith. The miracles of Jesus Christ was denied, while the count de Saint-Germain resurrection was attributed. This exceptional man was mysterious Theosophist who owned the secrets of the Great Work, production of diamonds and precious stones.


Count Saint-Germain

Finally, he was a secular person, courteous and polite. Madame de Ganly, which saw him in those long years almost daily, said that even his image of the precious stones in the paintings has a natural fire and brilliance, the secret of which he could not unravel chemists and artists. One can only guess whether he managed to capture light on the canvas, whether used for this pearls or any metal surface.

Count de Saint-Germain professed Catholic religion and performing its rites with great devotion. However, there are reports of suspicious evocations and strange Ghost; he also said that he had the secret vechnost. Whether it was mysticism or madness? Its origin is unknown; we spoke to him the impression that he lived for many centuries. All that concerned occult science, he said very little, and when it came to about initiation, he pretended that nothing about-does not know it. He chose his disciples, demanding from them passive compliance, and then talked about the rule, to which they are designed, domination melhisideka and Solomon, domination of initiation at the same time is a priesthood. "Be the light of the world", - he said. - "If your the only light is the light of the planet, you will be nothing in the eyes of God. I'll leave it for the grandeur, the earth is only a shadow of it. You will control the movement of the stars and those who rule the kingdoms will rule your life".

These promises, the true meaning of which was for the secret followers completely understood, communicated anonymous-ness of the author "History of secret societies in Germany" and suggest a school of initiation, with which count de Saint-Germain was connected. The following details concerning it still remained unknown.

Count de Saint-Germain was born in Leitmeritz in Bohemia at the end of the seventeenth century. He was either relatives, or the adopted son of Rosicrucian, who called himself Comes Cabalicus Companion Kabbalist, ridiculed under the name of count de Gabalis unhappy Abbe de Villa rum. Saint-Germain never talked about his father, but believed that he led a life of forest fugitive and a wanderer, accompanied by his mother. It lasted seven years. Symbolically, this meant dedication to the degree of Master. His mother was the science of adherents, and the forests of the world, devoid of true civilization and light. Principles of Saint-Germain were the principles of the Rose and the cross and in his country he created a company, which went when anarchic doctrine began to win the brotherhood, which was filled with new partners of Gnosis. He was rejected by the brethren, even was concluded, according to some, in the tower of the castle Ruel. On the other hand, Madame de Ganli says that he died in the Duchy Goldstein, becoming a victim of its own knowledge and the horror of his own life. In any case, it is known that he suddenly left Paris, no one knows where he went, and his companions more than't thought of him. The Association, established under the name of Saint-One of which was transformed in Saint-Joachim continued to act before the Revolution, during which it fell apart, or was transformed, like many others. Tells the story contained in the pamphlet against Illuminism, she extracted from message from Vienna and, although it stands to play, there is nothing that would correspond to the reality.

"According to your view, I received greetings from M.N.Z. which has already been informed of my arrival. Harmonic he highly approved. He spoke primarily about the tests, but I didn't understand anything. Last night I accompanied him in a rural estate, land which is beautiful. Temples, caves, waterfalls, labyrinths of the cave is admirable, but only the high wall around it all, I didn't like, though it has a wonderful prospect... I brought harmonica, on-demand M.N.Z. to play on it for a few minutes in the specified location and conditional on receipt of a signal. Visit the garden was over, he led me into the room, in front of the house and there trivial under the pretext almost immediately left. It was very late, he did not come, I was possessed weakness and the desire to sleep, when suddenly approached the house a few' carriages. I opened the window, but saw nothing and was given in bewilderment in a mysterious whisper guests. I was gripped by a dream, and an hour later, I was awakened by a servant who was sent after me. He went quickly in front of me, I avtomaticheski followed him. Suddenly I heard the sound of horns, which proceeded from the depths of the cave. At this point I lost my guide and proceed in the direction from whence came the noise, I saw a ladder leading to the dungeon, which was heard funeral song and I saw the body in an open coffin.

On one side stood a man in white clothing, covered with blood, it seemed to me that his right hand was opened lived. Everyone except his assistants were in long black robes with drawn swords in their hands. To my horror I saw that the entrance to the dungeon was barred human bones. This dark room lit only by a flame of burning alcohol.

Not knowing whether I can find a guide, I hurriedly went and found him looking me a few steps from here. His eyes were exhausted; rather rudely took me by the hand, he drew me into a secluded little. Many of the lamps emitted radiance, sound of falling water, mechanical singing nightingales and aromas emanating from everywhere, stirred my imagination. I found myself behind richly decorated green gazebo, it made the man whom I had seen in a coffin in the dungeon. At that moment I received the signal to play. People came to himself, as soon as I touched harmonics, and said, "Where am I, what's that sound?" Shouts of joy, followed by the sound of the trumpets and cymbals, were his answer. Every hand went up and withdrew into the depths of the garden, quickly disappearing from view. I'm still very excited, when I write these lines, and if not have a habit of doing your notes on the spot, then would consider it all a dream".

The unexplained part of this story is the presence of an uninitiated person, telling about the event. As the Association could such a risk by opening its secrets-this question remains unanswered; the very same mystery is explained easily. Followers of the old Rosicrucian, changing little by little strict hierarchical methods of their predecessors in the initiation, steel mystical sect and zealously practiced magic doctrine of the Templars, and as a result they began to regard itself as the sole keepers of the mysteries of the gospel of John. They considered the text of this gospel as an allegorical description of the sequence of rituals, indicating a complete initiation, and they believed that the story of Christ is to be implemented in the person of each of the adept. Moreover, they believed that the Savior, instead of being buried by Joseph of Arimathea, returned to life in the house of St. John. This was the secret that they proclaimed by the sounds of horns and harmonics. The candidate was asked to sacrifice his life and he was subjected to bloodletting that was thrown him out. Fainting represented death, and when the neophyte was himself again, this Sunday joyfully welcomed. Many believed that it was being valid Sunday and that they had gained immortality.

Sect Saint-One was the order of the Gnostics, immersed in the illusion Magic Charm; its origins were in the Rosicrucian teachings and the Templars, and her name was one of two words - Eakin and Boaz, written on two main pillars of the temple of Solomon. In Hebrew, the first letter of the word Yakin is Iodine, sacred letter of the Hebrew alphabet and the first letter of the name of Jehovah: it is a divine name was hidden from the profane the name Yakin or then Saint is One. Members of the order were Theosophists, loyal theurgical processes.

Everything said about the mysterious column de Saint-Germain, supports the idea that he was a skilled physician and experienced chemist. He said, knew how to fuse diamonds without traces of influences; could clear the stones to raise their price. The stupid anonymous author, whom we have already quoted, places the letter calling to believe him, but denies that he was making gold, as if not recognizing that the ability to create precious stones is not less important. Saint-Germain also invented, if to believe to the same author, increase of diamonds and processing of copper. The circumstances of this kind make us forget that Saint-Germain was familiar with Queen Cleopatra. He was polite and courteous, loved children and was surprised at all the games and jokes with them, was the dark and low, richly dressed with taste. According to rumors, he often talked with Louis XV, who shared his passion for precious stones. It is possible that this monarch, led by courtiers and indulging in pleasures, been rather curious and not serious interest in science, inviting Saint-Germain on private audience. The count was in Vogue at the time, and as it seemed attractive and young Methuselah, who knew how to combine gossip court with ecstasy Theosophical, has caused anger in some circles, but soon was pushed aside by other visionaries. This is the world.

As mentioned, Saint-Germain was none other than the mysterious Althotas, plotItel another mysterious adept with which we have yet to meet; he wore his name CharAt.

While the count of St. Germain was so successful in Paris, another mysterious adept wandered through the world, sobira apostles for the philosophy of Hermes. This alchemist called himself the Lascar, and said that he Greek Archimandrite collecting alms for the monastery. However, instead of demanding money, Laskar seemed sprayed upon their road of gold, and left its traces everywhere on their way. He suddenly appeared and every time"in a new guise: in one place he was an old man, another young man. He did not publicly gold, but were forced to perform it of his disciples, whom he had left some drugs. There are plenty of reliable evidence about these transmutations, conducted by the disciples of Laskar.

Louis Figge in his work about the alchemists not insist on their reality and importance. For physics nothing is more important facts, and they allow to conclude that the philosopher's Stone is not the fruit of dreams, if tradition of occultism, ancient mythology and serious study of the great people of all times quite objectively establish his real existence. A modern chemist, who were not afraid to publish his secret, succeeded in obtaining gold from silver with destructive process, and use a silver plays in gold is not more than a tenth of its value. Agrippa, who has not received universal solvent, was, however, more fortunate than our chemist, because he got the gold, cost the equivalent of the silver used in the process, and thus he lost nothing in his writings, if the research of the secrets of nature, you can associate the concept of loss.

The study, which was sent to the knowledge of the absolute of philosophy, but into a transmutation of metals, put an end to the propaganda associated with the name of the Lascar; study hermetic books veloc the knowledge of Kabbalah. The initiates of the eighteenth century believed that the time had come for the Foundation of a new hierarchy, as thought alone, or to build a new social order on the basis of equality, as did others. Secret societies sent his followers around the world to excite the public mind.

After Saint-Germain and the Lascar came Mesmer, followed by Cagliostro. But they did not belong to the same school: Saint-Germain was Ambassador enlightened Theosophists, while the Lascar was a philosopher, related to the traditions of Hermes. Cagliostro was an agent of the Templars, and wanted, as it follows from his message to the Freemasons London, to build a Temple Eternal. Like the Templars, Cagliostro was associated with the practice of Black Magic and fatal science of invoking spirits. It recognizes the past and the present, foretelling future events, performed miraculous healing and trying to make gold. He introduced a new, named "Egyptian Freemasonry" ritual and tried to restore the mystical cult of ISIS. Dressed like Theban the Sphinx, he presided over night assemblies in the halls, decorated with hieroglyphs and illuminated by torches. His priestesses were young girls, which he called golubimi. He brought them to ecstasy with hydromancy to get to prophesy, because water is an excellent conductor and excellent medium for Astral Light, which is proven by the mirages of the sea and clouds.

Obviously, Cagliostro was a follower of Mesmer and as a medium had the key to mediumistically phenomena. He had an extraordinary success, everywhere you could see his bust labeled "Divine Cagliostro" Response, equivalent to the enthusiasm, of course, but one could see it turned into a schemer and a crook, a seducer of his wife, wretch that the Roman Inquisition have mercy, sentencing him to life imprisonment. He was arrested, was followed by a court and his accusers had published the protocols of the process that has seen fit. Meanwhile the revolution came and Cagliostro was forgotten.

This adept in no way can be bypassed in the history of Magic; it prints as large as the seal of Solomon, and spoke about his dedication to the highest mysteries of science. According to Kabbalistic interpretation of the names of CharAt and Alpacas, they Express the main characteristics of the Great Arcanum and the Great Work. This snake struck by the arrow, representing the letter Aleph, the symbol of the Union between active and passive, are spirit and life, will, and light. Strela this belongs to Apollo, and the snake - the mythical Python, green dragon hermetic philosophy,

The letter Aleph expresses equilibrium unity. The Pentagon has been played in various forms in the charms of ancient Magic; once the serpent was seen the peacock Gera, the peacock with a Royal head and multi-colored tail. This is the emblem of dispersion of light, this bird Magnum Opus, her shining Golden aureole. Later, instead of the peacock was portrayed white lamb, young solar lamb bearing the cross. As you can see from Rouen frescoes, peacock, sheep and snake had the same hieroglyphic value is a passive principle, and it is the scepter of Hera. The cross and the arrow indicate the active principle, will, magical effect, concentration of dissolved. The Union of these two principles is universal balance. The great Arcanum, Great work, balance Eakin and Boaz. Letters L.P.D. accompanying this figure refers to Freedom, Power, Duty, as well as the Light, the Proportion of Cohesion; or the Law, Principle, Law.

The Freemasons have changed the order of the letters on L/.D/.P/. (Liberte de Penser), freedom of thought. Writing them on a symbolic bridge. For the uninitiated, these letters are interpreted as Freedom of Access (Liberte de Passer). The news about the persecution Cagliostro says that his interrogation revealed a different value, Latin Lilia destrue pedibus: Lily being trampled underfoot. In support of this version can be Masonic medal of the sixteenth or seventeenth century, depicting Bush lilies, slain by the sword, on which is written "Revenge will give their crops". Among the titles assigned Cagliostro was the title of the Great Copts and his doctrine was carrying Idei moral and physical degeneration. Great COPT gave the following rules moral rebirth: "You have to climb mount Sinai with Moses; you have to go Calvary; you got to get up on Tabor and with Ilya to stay at Carmel. You got to build their place of worship on top of the mountain. She must have three wing or premises, they must all be linked together, and in the centre to have three floors. On the ground floor should be refectory. Above it there should be a room with twelve boxes at the walls and one in the center; this is the place to sleep and dreams. The upper room must be square and in each wall to have four open. It will be the room of light. There, in solitude, you should pray for forty days and forty nights sleep in the bedroom twelve teachers. Then you must obtain the signatures of seven geniuses and a pentagram drawn on a Piece of virgin parchment. It is a sign, not known to anyone else, save received it. This secret symbol written on a white stone, mentioned in the prophecy of the youngest of the twelve masters. Your spirit light the Divine fire and your body will become clear as the child's body. Your insight is immense and will increase your power, you must log in absolute tranquility, which is the beginning of immortality: you will be able to say truthfully and without pride: "I am he who is".

This mystery means to achieve moral rebirth transcendental Kabbalah should be studied, understood and realized. Three rooms symbolize the Union of the physical life, religious inspiration, and the philosophical light; twelve masters is the great revealer, whose characters must be understood; the signature of the seven geniuses mean the vision of the Great Arcanum. In General - all allegorical and refers to the construction of not more than the construction of masons of the temple in Jerusalem.

Now see the secret of physical rebirth, which can be achieved, according to occult prescribed Great COPT, the privacy of forty days, which must be taken every fifty years, starting from may full moon, in the society only one person, full of faith. Forty days to fasting, drinking may dew gathered from wheat sprouts with a clean white cloth, and eating young tender grass. Food must start with a glass of dew and end with a piece of bread. On the seventeenth day it is necessary to make slight bleeding. After that you should prepare Balm Nitrogen and take it in the morning and evening, starting with a dose of six drops and increasing every day for two drops until the end of the thirty-second day. At dawn the next day you need to make slight bleeding and then go to bed until the end of the fortieth day.

At first revival after the bloodletting, take the first pellet generic drugs. For a three-hour fainting follow convulsions, sweating and diarrhea, which will require a change of bed linen. Here it is necessary to eat a piece of lean meat with rice, then take Valerian, vellenu, balm. On the following day to take a second pellet generic drugs in combination with sulfur gold. On the following day to take a warm bath. At the thirty-sixth day to drink a glass of Egyptian wine, and at the Thirty-seventh day to take the third and last granule. Follow a long sleep, during which will be updated hair, teeth, nails and skin. At the thirty-eighth day to take another warm bath with aromatic herbs from among those who had eaten. At the thirty-ninth day to take ten drops of the elixir Ahrata in two spoons of red wine. The procedure ends on the fortieth day, and the old man will be returned to the youth.

Through such procedures Cagliostro allegedly extended his life by several centuries. You can see that they were a kind of Baths Immortality used Gnostics of Menander. Unknown, believed Lee Caliostraw in them seriously. This is possible: before court, he has shown strength and presence of mind, said that he's a Catholic, and mindful of the Pope as Supreme head of the Church hierarchy. Regarding the occult Sciences he answered enigmatically, and when the charges are absurd, he told prosecutors that they have no grounds for his prosecution. They rebelled, invited him to list the seven deadly sins. He called lust, greed, envy, gluttony, and sloth; they reminded him that he missed pride and fear. It accused said, "I'm Sorry, I didn't mention them only out of fear of offending you with it".

He was sentenced to death, which was later commuted to life imprisonment. In the prison castle of Cagliostro wanted to confess and chose a priest who had the same as his, figure and complexion. The Confessor visited him and at the appointed time left. After several hours, the guards entered the cell and found strangled body of a man in clothes Cagliostro. The priest never seen. Lovers wonderful assure that the Great COPT today live in America, being the main and invisible Pontiff believers in Stolovaya.
