The 12 Labors of Hercules
XI
Our Mutual Concerns
“I, Saint Germain, shall never predict with absolute certainty
that this war and holocaust shall occur.”

 

Keepers of the Flame, I AM here!  [38-second standing ovation] And I have not come from far, for I have remained with you. And I am in the glorious spiral of the violet all-consuming flame and my beloved with me does stand above.

And at this moment high in the upper atmosphere Portia does maintain a great sphere of Cosmic Justice, that by this figure-eight flow through my heart, through the heart of the Messenger, through your own hearts, there do go forth now ribbons of violet flame light to cover the earth with those streamers that you have invoked, that Arcturus and Victoria have invoked and that some violet flame angels of Omri-Tas wish you had invoked more of. [14-second applause]

Now, beloved ones, won’t you be seated as I address you.

I would speak to you appropriately of our world concerns, which become our mutual concerns; for the world is very small, beloved. In time, it is for you fifteen minutes small. <1> It is too small, beloved. Would that you were on Jupiter in this hour. Planet Earth has become too small for the fallen ones to cohabitate upon it with the Lightbearers.

Let it be known, then, beloved ones, that this film <2> which you have seen does surely pinpoint what I have told you, what the Messenger has told you and what I have also shown the Messenger at inner levels. Therefore come, then, to the realization that when El Morya gave his twenty-four-month sign <3> he knew that even if [the United States] should begin to deploy such deterrents to incoming warheads, it should take an immediate decision and a full-scale attack [on the effort] to bring that into manifestation in twenty-four months. Yet, beloved, when this nation did mobilize for World War II, it did show how [fast] it could mobilize. And had the will of the Chief of the Darjeeling Council been received and heeded [when] the voice went forth [when he spoke on October 2, 1987 (had his voice been heard and received by the nation)], something could have been done.

Now you must understand what is this equation of the nondefense of America. Soviet chiefs know full well, beloved, that sooner or later there will be a deterrent force in space; therefore they know that they have a window of opportunity. And at such time as they are ready and the United States is not, they will realize that to hesitate is to lose that opportunity. They are supreme strategists, beloved, and they understand this.

This film is calculated to awaken America, the Congress and the president. But the awakening from that sleep will be too late. Understand, therefore, that if you were in the position that the Soviets are in this day–with [social] upheaval and [the] crumbling [of Communism from within] and [the people’s] demands for freedom, and an economy that simply will not work and that cannot be rehabilitated in time–[and you were facing] a nation [with] the wealth of this one, having no defense...understand, therefore, how their minds work.

We do not underestimate our God!  We do not underestimate Elohim!  Therefore, we always carry a torch of hope. We, however, would not leave our initiates, our chelas of long-standing, vulnerable [to such threats to the peace as exist in the Soviet arsenal]. Therefore, having read the handwriting on the wall, we did announce to you years ago the necessity of this move [to Montana]. We did announce it to Mark Prophet. We did dictate through him. And if you will search those scriptures of the dictations that have come forth, you will see that there was a projection into the future that such a calamity could come about if the people of America did not wake up. <4>

Therefore we have sent the warnings through this activity since the seventies, since the sixties. And the very reason of its founding in 1958 by El Morya was for the purpose and to [the] end that the warning [of the possibility of “the Great War” prophesied by Mother Mary at Fátima] might be sounded to a large body of Lightbearers worldwide whom we might care for and protect by giving that adequate warning.

Has it not come to pass that the Messenger has bought time for you by laying down his life and taking his ascension in 1973?  Has it not come to pass by the dedication and the sacrifice of many [of you] (doing things which perhaps you would rather not be doing, when you would rather be doing other things) [that the staying action of the right hand of the Lord has come upon the nation and the nations]?

Blessed hearts, this activity has received many a dispensation through the dictations, through the decrees of the students and through their own labor [of love]. Indeed, we have bought time!  We have bought time for the Teachings to go forth for many Lightbearers to be awakened. In fact, there has been a staying of such a nuclear holocaust for many years.

Blessed ones, therefore know this, that we have bought that time for the saving of the Lightbearers, for the awakening, for the warning, for [the] bringing to the attention of all the people of the world those conditions in China, in the Soviet Union, in Communist countries. And again and again and in so many ways we have shown that handwriting on the wall.

And yet we could not pry the Western leadership to that point of absolute God-awareness as to what the equation was. Whether we would bring the facts through K-17 or your own Lanello or myself, I can tell you, beloved, our legions and our agents of Light have worked very hard and overtime, have knocked on every single door available to us on the planet. We have attempted to contact every individual who could be instrumental in exposing this military buildup and its intent. <5>

Beloved ones, we have truly gone everywhere. In answer to your calls, cosmic reinforcements have come and other legions of angels have knocked upon the hearts of the rank and file of the people. Blessed ones, even those who have heard the Messenger have remained in disbelief!  It is a planetary stupor [that is the karmic condition of the mass consciousness] with which we are faced!

Therefore Alpha has come and [he has] told you to pray for the Lightbearers, <6> and this you have done. We told you numbers of years ago to prepare the food, and this you began already in 1973 with Lanello Reserves. This has been an ongoing project since the hour of the ascension of beloved Mark. Would to God it had been an ongoing project of the United States government, the Congress and the military [establishment]; and America would be on the brink of a golden age, I tell you!

Blessed hearts, if one could weep, one could say one has already wept all of one’s tears. And therefore we come this night tearless. And we also come fearless. We come in that moment of supreme realism that you may now understand through the seeing and the hearing of what has been taught on this film. You can now equate yourself and your families with such a scenario if you have never been able to do so before. This film has forced you to look at the consequences [of a policy of nondefense] and to recognize that whoever does occupy the office of president of the United States [must be prepared for the eventuality that he] will be faced with that very decision.

Beloved hearts, according to the timetable of the Soviet Union there is not time left [for the United States] to put in place the necessary deterrent to incoming nuclear warheads. Understand this, beloved, and learn to live with it. If you are prepared, you will indeed survive and survive mightily.

Therefore let the contingency plans be made by every Keeper of the Flame who is worth his salt and his water and his food reserves; for this comes down to a question of self-worth!  Are you worth this life insurance policy?  Have you been paying out life insurance and car insurance and catastrophic insurance [premiums] all of these years for which you will get nothing?  Can you not pay out an insurance [premium] for something that you will have in hand?

Blessed hearts, I urge you to reconsider. I urge you to understand that we have founded this activity for you and for the victory of the Light within you, that you collectively might be the torch that does ignite the age of Aquarius because you have determined to survive. Let it be done, beloved ones!

And let us not plan beyond that New Year’s Eve 1989. Let us have our tasks completed that we might rest in the confidence of God and dedicate those months early in 1990 to decree sessions and classes that do not end, that this court might be occupied with those who continue to call forth the Light; for truly it is an hour of mitigation.

If the forces of Darkness are not to be entirely turned back, then you must begin to deal with the equation as to how much [of their malintent] can be transmuted [by your invocations to the violet flame], how much can [the threat] be lessened. You have had experience, then, and a good sense of co-measurement when dealing with personal and planetary astrology. You have seen a certain mitigation and you have seen certain percentages of those prophecies in the stars consumed [by the sacred fire] through your efforts.

Therefore you can hope to see a certain mitigation whereby there could be, if such a scenario happens, beloved, less loss of life, less darkness, less pollution, less burden on the planet, upon elemental life [and upon the bodies of mankind], and so forth.

There is certainly a worst-case scenario and there certainly is the minimum that could happen. Let us understand, beloved, that for this [war] not to occur it would take the complete undoing of the military strategy of the Soviet Union this day. It would take the healing of their economy. It would take the resignation of the entire Politburo and leadership to the idea that the people of the Communist world are determined to be free!

Beloved ones, if [the Soviets] do not go to war, they will have on their hands a wholesale war and revolution [of the people], as you can see [in the] events passing every day [in Eastern Europe]. And there is only one reason why they do not stop their satellite nations from moving toward greater freedom. It is because, beloved, they have another agenda. <7>  And the activities of their satellites and their activities in glasnost simply play into their hands to keep the people in a stupor, to keep them asleep so that [the Soviets] will have the [advantage in a] greater surprise [attack].

Blessed ones, let there be, therefore, the attention to the altar, the allegiance to the altar; and be willing to set aside those things that you think you have to have or do or experience. It is time to keep the vigil as vestal virgins, as sons of Flame and sons of Liberty.

Blessed ones, there will come a day when your preparedness is complete and this will be a great day for America and for the world. For that means that your concentration is in service to the Light and to the altar, your concentration is on great spiritual growth and the nightly clearances. I can tell you there is no end to Hercules’ labors that we may assign to you. And there is no end to the volunteers of blue-lightning angels and all hosts of the legions of the Seventh Ray and the Ruby Ray who will come forward and assist in that effort. And the more that can be accomplished, beloved, the shorter the distance [between you and the] light [at the end] of the tunnel [that beckons].

So, beloved, you are there at the nexus of the figure eight. You are there at the nexus of the Ruby Ray!  You are there at the nexus of the presentation of the Dhyani Buddhas. You are in the heart of Gautama Buddha. You are in the heart of Shamballa. You are flanked by Maitreya and Manjushri, and you are surrounded and overshadowed by legions of Light.

Therefore, I say, let not your hearts be troubled. <8>  Ray-O-Light has been summoned by me, and K-17 and Zarathustra and their mighty legions of Light, that there might be an unburdening of yourselves of fear and of doubt. This is not an hour to fear, beloved. I tell you, you are surrounded as the Cosmic Virgin does enfold you in that swaddling garment of Light.

Blessed ones, you are indeed surrounded and protected and cared for, but you must do those [necessary] physical things yourselves!  You must do those physical things yourselves! And you must establish the priority. And when the priority is set, keep the vigil and keep the flame and go about your Father’s business and the business of keeping your household and fulfilling your dharma and doing the normal things that one must do if one is an initiate on the Path.

Let there be, then, the consideration and let it be said that, I, Saint Germain, shall never predict with absolute certainty that this war and holocaust shall occur. I deal only in the probabilities and I deal only with the uncertainties as to the protection of our Lightbearers in such a situation. If you can see the realism of the world geopolitical configuration in this hour, then you, too, must surely see that the chances that this will occur are as great as, or greater than, [they are that] you will have a fire in your house or you will have robbers or you will have an accident or you may have a death in the family. And all of these [probabilities] are the reasons why you have taken out insurance policies.

Therefore let it be said and let it be said with the full fierceness and finality of my being:  Any and all who have heard me and who are initiates of the Great White Brotherhood who do not make a simple seven-month preparation shall bear the karma of the neglect of the warning directly from the heart of the Master of the Aquarian age!

There are people in embodiment this day, beloved, who are hard of hearing because they did not heed the warnings on Lemuria and Atlantis and even in Pompeii. Thus, if you do not heed the warning [and the worst-case scenario should come to pass], you will be responsible for your failure to heed it and for yourselves or loved ones not being in physical embodiment to complete your [or their] karma. I only tell you this because it is the Law and you desire to know the Law and you desire to understand Cosmic Justice. And therefore you say, “How can Cosmic Justice be in place if, indeed, such a calamity should come to pass?”

Blessed ones, I will then ask you the question:  What, pray tell, is the Cosmic Justice for the millions upon millions upon millions of abortions worldwide? <9>  What is the karmic justice and the compensation to the United States when the highest court in the land and in the world does declare the legalization of abortion <10> and when Lightbearers have been denied entry into the portals of birth and therefore lost the opportunity to come into this activity and to save this nation?  Therefore, that blood is upon the hands of those who have done nothing about this situation!

Understand, beloved, that a nation is vulnerable!  A nation is vulnerable who has not defended life in the womb, life aborning and life that is God. And these vulnerabilities pile upon vulnerabilities as you see the violations of life and of the body temple and the perversions [of the life-force] and the denial of the Mother and the drowning out of the Ascended Masters and all [of the Teaching] that has gone forth. I think I need not continue to enumerate [the injustices of a people that leave them wide open whether to the enemy within or to the enemy without].

The Cosmic Justice is that life must become sensitive to life. And if individuals must go through hardship to understand that they have allowed this holocaust to take place upon this soil, then the Great Cosmic Law does decree it.

In the very midst of all of this, Americans have been given the opportunity again and again and again to turn from their outworn religions, to turn from their excuses for real and true devotion after the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

Blessed ones, we have cried [out to the nations] and we have been prophets [crying] in the wilderness. And so we retire to the wilderness with John the Baptist! <11>  We retire with Isaiah and Jeremiah and Elijah!  We retire to the Place Prepared and there we are determined to survive with our bands. And we are determined to come forth again and we are determined to cover the world with this Teaching because we shall be here.

Blessed ones, whatever the case may be, our determination is your preparedness and we are here to help you. Therefore call to us and determine that nothing shall any longer stand in [the] way [of your] declaring your victory and [of your] declaring in the face of Death and Hell itself that you will not surrender one drop of blood or one inch to the hordes of Death who would like to take you from embodiment!

Blessed ones, I have said my piece upon this subject and I trust I have touched your hearts and your souls profoundly.

[15-second applause]

Having so set your sights upon this goal, beloved, I say, therefore continue to invoke the protection of Almighty God, the intercession of the four hierarchs of the elements and the Divine Mother. Continue to claim your religious freedom and your religious beliefs, including in those beliefs the right to have a fallout shelter, a bomb shelter, food reserves and all that is necessary to implement that survival.

Beloved ones, this is your religious commitment and your religious belief and you should so defend it as such!  And let none cross the solar ring and the ring-pass-not that you draw daily around your forcefield and your projects. It is important that you are realists but it is also important that you set your minds to the task and mentally admit no defeat, no interference, no setbacks; and nothing shall deter you!

I say, beloved, a decree is more than words. It is a mind-set. It is a set of the jaw!  It is a set of the eye!  It is the coming of age of the heart. It is those who understand that when Noah was in the earth he was ridiculed beyond belief. He was ridiculed up and down for decades, beloved ones.

Thus, don’t even give [a] second thought to the ridicule but give many thoughts to the manipulation of the mass mind by many disgruntled individuals who would use them to force their representatives to demand some kind of an investigation, some kind of an EIS, some kind of a reason to stop you in your courses. Let your decrees be [for the violet flame transmutation of all such intentions], beloved ones, and let the remainder of your service in this class be toward the protection of your efforts and the protection of your supply.

I, Saint Germain, am waiting to release into your hands and use that supply that every one of you needs. Beloved ones, you must work the works with me!  You must do the decrees with me!  And you must eliminate the gap twixt the spiritual and the physical manifestation. And let that precipitation take place because you are steadfastly holding onto the All-Seeing Eye of God, keeping your attention on your Presence, keeping your God-harmony and working at whatever you must work at in order to increase your supply.

Let all things work together for good to them who love God and [to] those who are called to his anointing and his appointing. <12>  For it is the hour to anoint you!  It is the hour to appoint you!  And it is the hour for you to recognize that we have nowhere else to go to see to it that the Light and the teaching of the Light survive!

May we go to the Dalai Lama and to Tibet?  No, beloved!  It is already overcome. <13>  Where shall we go?  To the heads of state?  Does one [among them] raise his head in this hour [to] really make a difference?  Some speak the right words, but where is the action?

They are stultified and they cannot get past their karma or the rising tide of the astral sea <14> or the Four Horsemen, who ride and ride and ride again and circle the earth and ride up and down on the opposite bank of the Yellowstone, though they may not cross the bridge. Blessed ones, it is something to see them riding up and down and yet not able to prevail and not able to go against the mighty walls of the Inner Retreat. May you keep the vigil and keep those walls free!

Blessed ones, I speak to those who are not quite positioned and not quite decided [as to what measures you will take as regards the prophecies]. And I say to you, inasmuch as it can be calculated that the United States [has a] window of vulnerability by the mere absence of defense [against incoming nuclear warheads], I suggest you consider an alternative life-style, an alternative positioning of yourself, [if you will,] for a period.

There are those in the world, beloved, who have decided to take off several years to sail around the world or to do something unique, and then they have returned to whatever their livelihood and calling has been. Thus I should consider such a move if I were you. I would consider drawing nigh to this altar and keeping the flame if at all possible, considering your means and circumstance and your family responsibilities.

Blessed ones, our voice has come to you with the piercing rays of the secret rays and has entered your heart. You must now commune with your God. I pray, then, that you will understand how important is your life, how important is your physical temple to God, how important [is your preparedness] to the American people themselves, the majority of whom are not prepared mentally, psychologically, emotionally, or in any way to face such consequences as could come to pass.

Therefore, the motto stands, I AM My Brother’s Keeper. And in this hour the keeping of the flame of the brother demands that you keep the flame for yourself, that when the brother is in need you are able to assist him.

I show you therefore the place where there has been a great conflagration, a great fire, beloved. And that fire has burned out and the coals remain and it is night and the coals are glowing. And one sees the embers of a civilization that once lit the night sky of the whole world with honor, with freedom, with Cosmic Christ illumination.

We see [these embers in the decline of the old orders just before] the time [when they will be superseded by] golden ages. We see it in the last days of Lemuria and Atlantis. And we see it again today, for this nation has indeed not risen to the glory to which she could have risen in the past fifty years had she taken the right steps and made the right decisions since World War I and World War II. Blessed ones, a series of very bad decisions by very bad leaders, who came into power because of the karma of the people, has led to the predicament [of] this day; not one individual but many [are the cause of the American dilemma].

And what is the reason, beloved?  It is because all are marching across the stage and the LORD God has determined that all should play their parts. <15>  People flock to the theaters. They look at the movies. Yet they have not understood the roles that the fallen ones have played, that the Lightbearers have played [nor have they understood] the mess that the press has made [in their role as molders of public opinion, in their] nonreporting [of the facts] or [in] simply reporting that which was not so.

And therefore the media has not been the public servant. They have not truly conveyed what the people ought to know, but [those] who control the media have conveyed their own agenda.

Thus, beloved, the people of God who understand the great recourse of the I AM THAT I AM, the faithful in every religion everywhere upon the planet who draw nigh to God even with such a skimpy doctrine to draw upon, these are already under the canopy of their I AM Presence and they have guardian angels. Yet those who know the full extent of the use of the science of the spoken Word–though no better as people yet better endowed, for they have accepted the Truth–they must stand now guardians of the race and of the coming again of souls of Light.

Remember, therefore, that your preparedness after the physical needs are met must be a spiritual and a psychological preparedness to deal with whatever the future may bring. May you be strengthened in your hearts, beloved, and may you understand that the legions of the Seventh Ray make this Royal Teton Ranch a stopover base as they make their rounds again and again throughout the planetary home.

I speak to you out of the love of my purple fiery heart. I speak to you as I am with you and [as I] place my Electronic Presence over you. I summon the gnomes, the fiery salamanders and the sylphs. I summon the undines. And I call to God for the weather you have requested, but I say, you must call it forth daily.

The physical voice and the physical body will tell all, and how you use them will determine the victory. You have many Ascended Masters and angels who are with you and assisting you. May you know that and keep a steady course and keep that emotional body steady. Keep that mind steady. And do not be provoked by fear or doubt or sudden events.

Beloved ones, remain calm and peaceful in your hearts and remember my words; for we look to the future and to the Victory. We claim it!  We expect it!  We invoke it from our God!  And we are here to help you.

May you maintain that stance of absolute conviction that your feet are firmly planted in this soil, that God has set you here for a destiny and not to lose all in this moment [of the nations’ indiscretion]. God has sent you for a cosmic purpose. You have known it from your birth!  I, Saint Germain, tell you that this is that cosmic purpose! It is the continuity of life that has the quality of the spiritual golden thread running through it, a spiritual quality whereby the highest souls may once again restore even the genetic code of the race to that highest potential whereby the Christed [ones] may incarnate.

We count on our chelas to pave the way for the coming of the seventh root race. <16>  Let it be done, beloved. For many lifewaves this planetary home is a crossroads. They cannot get beyond it until they get through it. They must come to the crossroads. They must deal with their karma here. They must make good here. They must challenge their betrayers and the sinister force here. They must overturn them. And they must fight the battle of Armageddon with the saints and the hosts of the LORD and they must have their Victory.

Pray, beloved hearts, that your call will see them through. For some, the only wings they have are their courage, the only armour they have is their love, the only prayer they know is the Our Father or the Hail Mary.

May you see yourselves always in Archangel Michael’s legions, caring for your brothers and sisters; for they are many.

I recede into the violet flame and I take my place above as Portia descends.

 


This dictation by Saint Germain was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the Sunday evening service, October 8, 1989, during The 12 Labors of Hercules held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. [N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Saint Germain’s direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.

1. Perhaps Saint Germain is saying that for a nation that is the target of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) or an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) the world is only 15 minutes small. An SLBM fired from a Soviet sub positioned off the United States East Coast or West Coast would reach its U.S. target in 3-15 minutes, depending upon the launch and target locations. An ICBM launched from the Soviet Union would reach the United States in about 30 minutes.

2. Prior to Saint Germain’s dictation the Messenger showed the video One Incoming, produced by High Frontier, the Washington, D.C.-based strategic defense advocacy organization headed by Gen. Daniel O. Graham, which reveals the inadequate state of America’s defense against nuclear weapons and what would happen if an American president were informed that a nuclear missile whose warheads were targeted at U.S. cities had been launched. The video makes plain the decisions that the president would face as a consequence of the U.S. policy of nondefense against nuclear weapons: 1) assume it is an accidental launch and allow U.S. cities to be destroyed, 2) assume it is part of an all-out attack and launch a U.S. retaliatory strike inviting further retaliation on U.S. cities. This video is a must for every Keeper of the Flame and for their family and friends! 

3. See vol. 32 no. 39, p. 552 n. 15.

4. These are some of the warnings of the possibilities of war given in dictations through the Messenger Mark L. Prophet.

Paul the Venetian, July 5, 1968: “But as the scriptures record so beautifully and delicately:  And they were eating and they were drinking and they were marrying, and they were giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man....Your Blessed Virgin Mother Mary prays with me, for the state of the world is most horrendous and fear is in many hearts and a quivering of destruction. And we do not wish to amplify it, but we must alert the students of the Light that the time is indeed...short. Your beloved Messenger who stands before you has little idea himself as to the solemnity with which I am speaking these words. This is as much a surprise to him that I am saying this as it is to some of you. But, strange as it may seem, I was chosen tonight and for this conference to sound out the note of warning.”

Mother Mary, July 3, 1972: “Tonight I have been selected by the hierarchical Masters of the Karmic Board to present to you a solemn warning that upon all mankind will destruction come. In some cases, even the good will suffer side by side with the evil, for it is not always possible to exercise cosmic discrimination....The elementals have communicated recently with one another and they are preparing to execute cataclysmic strands of destruction that have only begun in the world order. And this shall come to pass unless the teachings of God shall be fulfilled in the hearts of many men and women.”

God Meru, October 13, 1972: “There may be, indeed, a kindling of wars and rumor of wars, of earthquakes in divers places and a shaking of the consciousness of mankind as a vindication of the wrath, or that which has been called and is the wrath of God, as the chastisement of the Great Central Sun against mankind.”

Jesus, November 23, 1972: “And behold, Truth shall first live in the hearts of many; for Truth is needed and must be restored, else terrible activities shall come forth upon the earth that mankind little dream of. And they will kindle once again out of the ancient akashic records and from the astral levels those Pandora activities that are winged destruction to mankind:  pestilence and disease and warfare and darkness.”

7. See Actions Speak Louder than Words by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, a penetrating analysis of current events in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Includes revelations by KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn that raise serious questions about the legitimacy of recent reforms in Eastern Europe and vital information on the ongoing Soviet weapons buildup. 40-page pamphlet.

8. John 14:1, 27.

9. An estimated 40 million to 60 million abortions are performed worldwide each year. The total number of abortions worldwide since 1973, including the United States, ranges from 640 million to 960 million.

10. In the 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion nationwide based on an implied constitutional right of privacy and declared that the unborn child is not included in the definition of a “person” as protected under the Constitution. Since 1973 at least 22 million abortions have been performed in the United States. For information on the July 3, 1989 Supreme Court decision giving states new authority to limit abortions see vol. 32 no. 39, p. 551 n. 1.

11. Isa. 40:3; Matt. 3:1-3; Mark 1:3, 4; Luke 3:2-4; 7:24-28; John 1:23.

12. Rom. 8:28.

13. Tibet. See vol. 32 no. 42, p. 571 opening note; no. 41, p. 572 n. 18; no. 43, 580 nn. 4, 5; 581 nn. 11, 14.

14. 1988 PoW, vol. 31 no. 80, pp. 622-24, 625-26.

15. Francis Bacon’s allusion to reincarnation is found in Shakespeare’s As You Like It, act II, scene 7, lines 136-41:  Duke Senior. This wide and universal theater/Presents more woeful pageants than the scene/Wherein we play in. Jaques. All the world’s a stage,/And all the men and women merely players;/They have their exits and their entrances,/And one man in his time plays many parts.

16. The seventh root race is destined to incarnate on the continent of South America in the Aquarian age under their Manu the Great Divine Director and his divine complement. See glossary in Saint Germain On Alchemy, pp. 424-26.
