What if true alchemy was never about metals, but about yourself? What if the most precious gold was hidden in your own consciousness? In this essential work, Saint Germain—guardian of the mysteries of transformation—reveals the sacred science of inner alchemy: the art of transmuting thoughts, emotions, and actions into light. Here you will not find medieval laboratories or dusty formulas, but a map for the modern seeker who longs to awaken the divine fire within and live in harmony with universal law. This illustrated and annotated edition will guide you to discover: •How energy shapes every aspect of your daily life. •The hidden purpose behind each "experiment" of the soul. •Clear methods to purify your mind and elevate your consciousness. •The contact with your Higher Self, the "I AM Presence." Alchemy: The Art of Self-Transformation is more than a book—it is an invitation to experience the science of Spirit. Each page is a step on the golden ladder of freedom, leading you from limitation to infinity. The Philosopher's Stone is not found outside of you: it beats within your heart, waiting to be awakened.

Bearing the title of God of Freedom for this system of worlds, Saint Germain has remained for centuries the champion of both individual and global liberty.
In Atlantis, he was consecrated in the Order of Lord Zadkiel as high priest in the Temple of Purification. Amidst marble pavilions of radiant whiteness, surrounded by ancient pines whose branches blended with the winds of the Holy Spirit, his invocations sustained a pillar of fire—an authentic fountain of the melodious violet flame that magnetized young and old alike, who came from near and far to be freed from every kind of affliction enslaving body, soul, and mind. Here gathered the spirits of nature and angelic devas to praise the one whose love was always the source of regenerative hope and joyous freedom, leaving imprinted upon the realm of nature the geometric forms of truth and freedom, of mercy and justice.
Before Atlantis sank, while Noah was still building his ark and admonishing mankind of the great Flood to come, Saint Germain—accompanied by a few faithful priests—transported the flame of freedom from the Temple of Purification to a safe place in the foothills of the Carpathians in Transylvania. There they continued the sacred rite of expanding the fires of freedom, even as divine decree required the balancing of humanity’s karma. In his successive embodiments, under the direction of his master and teacher, the Great Divine Director, Saint Germain and his followers rediscovered the flame and continued to guard the sanctuary. Later, the Great Divine Director, assisted by his disciple, established a retreat at the site of the flame and founded the House of Rakoczi.
This same flame, brilliant in its transmutative splendor like the color of cattleya orchids, has been focused in the etheric retreat of Archangel Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst, above the Island of Cuba, since the earliest days of Atlantis. In the fifteenth century, destiny once again smiled upon the son of freedom: an arc from the flame of the retreat leapt into the heart of the young shepherd who was then embodied in the small village of Genoa, as the relatively unknown sailor Christopher Columbus (1451–1506). Destiny had sent its message, and in spite of every obstacle, the captain of the Santa María was drawn to the shores of the New World.
As Christopher (meaning “Christ-bearer”) Columbus, Saint Germain blazed the pathway of freedom that millions were destined to follow. And small wonder! For in that very retreat he had practiced the sacred science of alchemy for over a century, both in many incarnations and between them, sponsored by the Archangel and Archangelic of the Seventh Ray. To Christopher Columbus the New World was his native harbor; and fittingly, on the Island of San Salvador, angels of the sacred fire awaited to welcome the three caravels on that triumphant twelfth of October, 1492.
As the prophet Samuel (meaning “his name is God”), Saint Germain heard the voice of God and answered: “Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.”1 And it is written that “Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.”2 The day would come when Samuel—anointer of kings, oracle of the people, confidant of Saul and of David—would find affection in the hearts of a people consecrated to a mighty union, under the title of “Uncle Sam.”
After helping to lay the spiritual foundations of Israel, Saint Germain invoked the flame of Christ for the Christian dispensation when he was embodied as Joseph, protector of Jesus and Mary—always at hand when needed—to offer his strength in defense of the Mother and the Child.
In the third century, this holy brother gave his life for Amphibalus, another devout Christian, becoming the first martyr of England, later canonized as Saint Alban. As Merlin “the Wise,” he aided King Arthur (El Morya) in forming the Holy Order of the Knights of the Round Table and in undertaking the quest for the Holy Grail,3 the cup from which our Lord drank at the Last Supper.
When Saint Germain reincarnated as Roger Bacon (1214–1294), he wrote the Opus Majus and other renowned treatises on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. As Francis Bacon (1561–1626), he was fils naturel (natural son) of Queen Elizabeth and Lord Leicester, the legitimate heir to the throne of England. He translated the King James version of the Bible and wrote the Novum Organum and the Shakespearean dramatic works, which contain in cipher many of the sacred mysteries of the Brotherhood as well as the history of his life. After completing the work he had set out to accomplish in that embodiment, he departed with his characteristic good humor, attending his own funeral in 1626. (The body in the coffin was not that of Francis Bacon.)
On May 1, 1684, Saint Germain accepted his immortal freedom, which he had adhered to and won over a period of thousands of years, making, as he affirms without exaggeration, “two million right decisions.”4 Thus, Francis Bacon, hero of letters, who through his writings has lived in the hearts of millions, is indeed immortal. He ascended from the Mansion of Rakoczi in Transylvania, where he had been practicing spiritual alchemy since his departure from the world stage in 1626. The Ascended Master Saint Germain entered the Great Silence (Nirvana), where his twin flame, Portia, the Goddess of Justice5—whose name he had inscribed in The Merchant of Venice—had long awaited his return.
Not long afterward, the beloved Sanctus Germanus entered into the cosmic service of freedom, and was granted a dispensation by the Lords of Karma to function in the world of form as an Ascended Being, assuming at will the appearance of a physical body. Thus, in the courts of eighteenth-century Europe, he was known as the Comte de Saint Germain. He would appear, disappear, and reappear with his remarkable hallmark of realism, moving in and out of royal circles during an age whose days were being shortened under the weight of its own hypocrisy.6
Voltaire fittingly described him in a letter to Frederick II of Prussia as “a man who never dies, and who knows everything.”7 The French archives contain evidence that English, Dutch, and Prussian statesmen of his time regarded the Count as an authority in many fields. He was hated by some, while admired and revered by others. Yet the true mission of Saint Germain—the torchbearer of freedom for the age—has not been understood by historians.
Quite naturally, the Master Alchemist spoke French, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian, as well as classical Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Chinese, and Arabic. He composed, improvised, accompanied on the piano without reading music, and played the violin “like an orchestra.” His compositions are preserved in the British Museum and in the Library of the Castle of Raudnitz in Bohemia. He painted in oils with colors of a brilliance resembling that of gems—colors he himself invented. He maintained an alchemical laboratory, was an adept in the precipitation and perfection of gems, transmuted base metals into gold, and discovered herbs and elixirs to prolong life and preserve health. To his close friends, he manifested powers that bordered on the incomprehensible.
Many demonstrations of his mastery are recorded in the diaries of Mme. d’Adhemar, who knew him for more than half a century. She noted the visits Saint Germain paid to her and to the courts of Louis XV and Louis XVI, observing that his expression and radiant countenance were those of a man of forty years of age, unchanged throughout that entire period. She recounts a personal conversation with the Count in 1789, in which he appeared “with the same face as in 1760, while mine was covered with wrinkles and the marks of decrepitude.”8 During that conversation, he predicted the Revolution of 1789, the fall of the House of Bourbon, and the course of modern French history. Yet, more important than all these spectacular feats were the practices to which the Master applied his talents. As one of his friends remarked, “He was perhaps one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived…the only concern of his heart was the happiness of others.”9
He was an intimate friend of Louis XV, who granted him a suite of rooms in the royal Château de Chambord. Introducing the science of modern diplomacy, he carried out many secret diplomatic missions for the king to the courts of Europe. Had Louis XVI heeded the counsel of Saint Germain, the French Revolution might have been averted, and the many lives sacrificed at the guillotine might have been spared. Having failed in his attempt to prevent the French Revolution, he endeavored to establish the United States of Europe under Napoleon Bonaparte. But neither the crown nor the nobility, nor le petit Caporal (“the Little Corporal”), grasped the vision of the great Master. Reflecting later on this experience, Saint Germain said:
“Long ago, individuals of the court of France thought to deceive me. They considered me a charlatan, but I fear that I have outlived them and their usefulness; for many who once held positions of greatness in the outer world of form are now engaged in sweeping the streets of some of these great cities. Thus, the Law, in completing its cycle, has required of them the very demands they once imposed upon those they considered their inferiors.”10
In a later dictation, he said:
