The Seven Keys of Alchemy

(A Prelude for the Seeker)

Know Thyself: The first key of every alchemist is self-knowledge. Look within before you seek without.Guard the Mind: Thoughts and feelings are living decrees. Master them, and you master the substance of life.Invoke the Fire: The violet flame is the universal solvent. Call it forth daily to purify, transmute, and renew.Design and Precipitate: All creation begins with a clear pattern. Visualize the form, hold it with faith, and allow it to descend.Serve the Whole: Alchemy is never selfish. Your transformation expands freedom, peace, and abundance for all life.Walk with Silence and Faith: Protect the sacred work within you. Discretion and constancy are the wings of achievement.Ascend in Light: Every experiment points to one goal: union with the Divine Presence, the eternal victory of the soul.

The Master Alchemist

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:

“Unable to obtain the attention of the French Court and of other Kings of Europe, I began to devote myself to the perfecting of humanity in general, and I came to be convinced that there were many who, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, would indeed be satisfied with the idea of a perfect union that inspired them to assume the dominion of the New World and to create a union among the sovereign states. Thus the United States were born as the fruit of my heart, and the American Revolution was the means by which the manifestation of liberty in all its splendor was introduced from East to West.”11

The United States have indeed prospered with the help of this Master. Always working behind the scenes to prevent liberty from disappearing from the face of the Earth, it has been said that he ended an insurmountable disagreement and inspired the first American patriots to sign the Declaration of Independence. The first initiates of the White Lodge have recorded that it was the Master who cried out, “Sign that document!” in the Session Hall of the Continental Congress. According to esoteric tradition, he remained faithfully by General Washington’s side during the long winter at Valley Forge; and when the time came to guide a new nation, conceived in liberty, he assisted in drafting the Constitution.

In the early 1930s, he made contact with his “field general,” the re-embodied George Washington, whom he had trained as a messenger for the hierarchy and who, under the pseudonym Godfré Ray King, published the foundation of Saint Germain’s instructions for the New Era in Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence, and The “I AM” Discourses.12 During this period, the Goddess of Justice and other cosmic beings emerged from the Great Silence to assist Saint Germain in bringing the teachings of the Sacred Fire to humanity in order to prepare the way for the golden age. During that same period, the Master took charge of the training of the Messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, who were later called by the Chief of the Darjeeling Council, El Morya, to establish The Summit Lighthouse as a new open door for disseminating the instructions of the ascended masters to humanity.

It is mentioned in the book Unveiled Mysteries, that Saint Germain maintains a Focus of Light in the Golden Etheric City over the Sahara Desert, where he led a great civilization to its culmination seventy thousand years ago. He is also the Hierarch of the etheric retreat over the Rakoczi Mansion in Transylvania, and of the Cave of Symbols, his Focus of Light in America. His electronic pattern is the Maltese Cross; his fragrance, that of violets.

While serving in the world of form as the Compte de Saint Germain, the Master assumed the office of Chohan of the Seventh Ray, which had been held by Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, during the preceding two-thousand-year cycle. On May 1, 1954, he and his twin flame were crowned as directors of the two-thousand-year cycle we are now entering, known as the Seventh Dispensation, which is governed under the activities of the Seventh Ray. During this era, humanity will be offered the opportunity to attain mastery over itself and its environment through the correct knowledge of the laws of true freedom and justice, the science of alchemy, precipitation and transmutation, and the rituals of invoking the sacred fire, which can inaugurate an age of illumination and peace such as the world has never known.

Following his ultimate plan for the “perfecting of mankind”—endorsed by the Lords of Karma and by the spiritual hierarchy in charge of enlightening the Age—Saint Germain helped to found the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity under the sponsorship of The Summit Lighthouse, and accepted the office of Knight Commander of the Order. In a letter addressed to the Fraternity shortly after its formation, Saint Germain said:

“The demands of the hour are constancy, harmony, and loyalty! For centuries, mankind has savored the treasures of heaven, and for an equal span of time, has debated, delayed, and objected to the proper use of those same treasures. The heaven that could long ago have manifested upon Earth has been delayed solely on the part of man, and not by any fault of the Father, whose kingdom is still in the process of ‘coming’! Today the cosmic wheel has turned almost to the point where it is impossible to retreat; and it is imperative for all humanity that the necessary unity and other divine attributes appear in due time.

In this hour of great tests and decisions, I affirm that there is no greater danger than to obstruct or to halt the progress of the activities sponsored by the ascended masters. While there are men and women of faith and good will, who willingly unite with an almost fierce loyalty under the aegis of the Father and the right hand of our brotherhood, we shall continue, from our level, to render the much-needed assistance to carry out upon Earth the actions of the cosmic design which fan the fires of freedom and hold high the torch of Divine Liberty!

Recently, and through the beloved ascended master El Morya, your friend and ours, the Darjeeling Council announced the formation of a spiritual brotherhood to be composed of dedicated men and women, willing to place their shoulders, their minds, and their hearts upon the wheel of sponsorship in the coordination of multiple activities under our direction. This voluntary group of ‘the faithful’ is destined—if they accept—to become part of the select focus from which shall be drawn the permanent focus of the Diamond Heart of the beloved Morya (dedicated to the will of God) in the outer world of form. I am pleased, I am honored to recognize the first tangible gleams of the hearts of those blessed ones who have accepted, with dignity and joy, the genuine privilege of becoming Keepers of the Flame!”

Beloved ones, millions have acquired possessions, but very few have retained their possessions. This can be said of both Spirit and flesh. To love God is good, but—to love Him with reliable constancy is far better! The fact that from the hand to the mouth the soup is lost is due to sheer vacillation, for even the downward path is paved with so-called good intentions. To change this condition for the better and then to perfect it is our intention. For we have promised to continue offering wisdom and divine direction, so long as there is the necessary dedication on your part. The grace that is to save the Earth and man consists in this: in a conscious unity, faith, constancy, and determination, both on your part and on mine!

In his Pearl of Wisdom of September 17, 1967, Saint Germain made the following statement regarding the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity:

“In this day and age, we have not entrusted the teachings to a single individual, but we have offered finite portions of the Infinite, segments of Reality to the planet, as cosmic cipher that the heart, once purified in any man, may easily decipher. In the Pearls of Wisdom, in the Lessons of the Keepers of the Flame, and in other writings that contain the teachings of The Summit Lighthouse, we have sought to integrate the totality of all genuine movements of devotion that have ever existed upon the planet.”

It is our intention—if God wills, if man also wills, and if he serves God—to elucidate, through the Lessons of the Keepers of the Flame, such standards of ancient beauty as have never before been known or experienced on this planet. The day shall come when those souls who have had the privilege of receiving these communications will cherish them as the golden light, resplendent, from the hand of heaven, reaching the heart of the individual and saying: “Know God, know thyself, know the law of thy Being.”

We hope to open the ancient books as never before—even the books of the Ancient of Days—to reveal what has been kept secret since the beginning of the world.

The continuity of purpose is perhaps the most notable virtue of Saint Germain. For hundreds and thousands of years, he has never strayed from the central theme of his supreme calling as a son of God. Always faithful to his mission of liberating the Christ within all men, ever inspiring in them the regenerating hope of freedom, he has borne the torch of liberty in the name of humanity and stands ready to pass it on to those who shall come forth from among them13 to keep the Flame with him.

This is the meaning of the expression “to keep the Flame”
