00:00France, 1760. The wonder man of Europe runs for his life. No records exist of his birth,
00:17death, or true identity. He was considered a genius in art, music, politics, and alchemy.
00:30Although he looked 40, many believed he was at least 150 years old. He called himself
00:36the Count of Saint-Germain. Others called him the man who would not die.
01:00There are people in contemporary America who believe that Saint-Germain is very much with
01:14us. Although he was most prominent 200 years ago, they believe he has never died and never
01:29will. This series presents information based in part
01:42on theory and conjecture. The producer's purpose is to suggest some possible explanation, but
01:48not necessarily the only ones, to the mysteries we will examine.
02:02The court at Versailles in 1757 rides the last great crest of regal splendor before the French
02:09Revolution. Embroiled in a bitter war with England, King Louis XV still plays host to the leading
02:16thinkers and doers of Europe. The Count of Saint-Germain is welcomed as a man of wealth and obvious breeding.
02:23A brilliant violinist, he conducts entire symphonies without referring to written music.
02:29He is also a talented painter, and his descriptions of ancient history cause listeners to believe
02:35that he experienced the events himself.
02:44In recreations based on actual memoirs, Saint-Germain fascinates the elite of France, including Voltaire,
02:52Madame Pompadour, and especially King Louis.
02:55I liked and admired the man. In his way, he was brilliant. A scientist and a historian. He amused and
03:06astounded me. Why, once he removed a large floor from this very beautiful diamond and tripled its worth.
03:13I set him up in a laboratory at the Triana. He used to teach me chemistry. He even said I had a natural
03:21aptitude for it. During years spent in India, Saint-Germain supposedly learned how to remove flaws from
03:29diamonds and change base metals to gold. It was written that he performed both feats often enough
03:36to dissuade doubters. Skilled as a chemist, it was also rumored that he possessed a magic elixir of life.
03:43Saint-Germain neither confirmed nor denied anything said about him. How old was he? 100? 200? 2000 years?
03:55He either smiled or responded with cheerful evasiveness. He spoke at least a dozen languages so fluently
04:02that in any country he visited, he was accepted as a native. But where was he actually from?
04:07Portugal? Egypt? Atlantis? The fog-shrouded Carpathian mountains of Transylvania have hidden many
04:19legendary figures. One might have been Saint-Germain as a small boy. When Prince Franz Rakoji lost control
04:27of Hungary, his two older sons were placed under house arrest in Vienna.
04:32His third son, possibly Saint-Germain, traveled secretly from Transylvania to Florence and the
04:41protection of the house of Medici. If this story, one of so many, is true, it would explain Saint-Germain's
04:49extraordinary education and appreciation of fine art. According to memoirs, the count was slim,
04:58well proportioned and of medium height. His features were pleasant and his eyes possessed a great
05:04fascination. Those who looked into them were profoundly influenced. His sense of humor and
05:11courtly manner made him especially attractive to women. Among them, King Louis' mistress, Madame Pompadour.
05:18He was a truly delightful person. And he knew all of the European languages. And he was very entertaining.
05:28The king you know is easily bored, but never by Saint-Germain. And yet there was a mystery to him.
05:35Nobody knew where he came from or his true identity. And there was a strangeness.
05:41Some of my very elderly friends at court said they had known him for 50 years. And yet he never seemed to age.
05:52If he had a magic elixir of life, I wish he had given some to me.
06:01Casanova, the Italian opportunist, resented his rival's success.
06:05Saint-Germain is a charlatan and an impostor. He thinks he's a prodigy in everything. Oh, he's very clever.
06:14And with his tricks, he has the capability to amuse. He can make the women admire him.
06:21But then, I know something of the ladies myself. One very mysterious thing.
06:28In all of the banquets we have attended together, I have never seen him eat one morsel of food.
06:39While his peers gorged at banquets, Saint-Germain dined alone on light portions of cereal, vegetables, and the white meat of chicken.
06:48Was this his secret for long life? Small, balanced meals?
06:52Voltaire, France's aging intellectual, expressed great admiration for Saint-Germain.
07:00He is a very learned man and a freemason. His knowledge of history is so extraordinary, it makes one believe
07:10he lived through the events himself. One could believe it would take more than one lifetime
07:17to absorb so much knowledge. Thus, the man must be immortal.
07:24He was so knowledgeable in politics and history that I used to send him on secret missions to make
07:30peace with England, but that was my mistake. I went over the head of my foreign minister who
07:37naturally was furious. Of course, I had to pretend that I knew nothing of the affair.
07:42Choiselle was going to arrest him, but he escaped and disappeared.
07:51Envious of Saint-Germain's influence on the king, Choiselle, Louis' foreign minister,
07:56ordered him arrested and shot as an English spy.
08:06Choiselle circulated vicious rumors throughout Europe, claiming that Saint-Germain was a Portuguese of
08:18questionable parentage who married for money in Mexico and absconded to Turkey with his wife's jewels.
08:25Saint-Germain escaped to the English Channel and crossed safely to London.
08:30However, Choiselle's ugly stories followed him wherever he wandered, even to Russia.
08:36In Saint Petersburg, Saint-Germain joined a conspiracy to overthrow Tsar Peter in 1762.
08:45His battlefield strategies brought victory to the forces of Catherine the Great.
08:50Once enthroned, the new queen rewarded him with the title, General Well Done.
08:55The legend of the brilliant Count preceded him to the distinguished courts and drawing rooms of Europe.
09:09Wherever he traveled, Saint-Germain was welcomed as a scholar, a scientist, and raconteur.
09:15Most of his activities were shrouded in mystery, but it is known that he formed secret societies dealing with the occult,
09:28and warned the crowned heads of many nations that the collapse of the French monarchy would eventually doom them as well.
09:35His one known manuscript, The Most Holy Trinosophia, written in a combination of modern languages and ancient hieroglyphics, is considered a classic of occult literature.
09:48The final years of Saint-Germain's known life was spent in Heskastel, Germany.
09:58He divided his time between experiments in alchemy and meetings of his secret societies.
10:04Few people knew Saint-Germain as well as Prince Charles, his last known confidant and benefactor.
10:10In 1784, word spread across Europe that Saint-Germain lay mortally ill in the castle of Prince Charles.
10:30I was privileged to be a very good friend of Saint-Germain.
10:34In fact, he spent his last years here in this very castle.
10:37Some time before he died, he confided in me his true identity.
10:43He was the third son of Prince Franz Leopold Racuzzi of Transylvania.
10:49When the Austro-Hungarian Empire absorbed his enormous estates,
10:55he spirited his third son away to Italy,
10:59where he was looked after and brought up by the Medici family and attended the University of Siena.
11:06This, of course, was one of the reasons for his very charming demean,
11:12his aristocratic bearing, his wealth and his great knowledge.
11:18Unfortunately, he died here in this castle.
11:22Did Prince Charles attend the funeral?
11:24There are no records of Saint-Germain's burial.
11:39Ten years later, he was sighted in Paris at the height of the French Revolution.
11:43The sightings continued well into the 19th century, and for some, continued today.
11:50Elizabeth Clare Prophet, leader of the Church Universal and Triumphant in Pasadena, California,
11:56believes that Saint-Germain speaks to the world through her.
11:59Who was Saint-Germain is really a very important question for America and for freedom-loving peoples in every nation today.
12:08Saint-Germain has embodied again and again over many centuries, as we all have.
12:13Our souls continue to evolve and to experience on Earth until we perfect our own individual calling.
12:19Back in the days of Atlantis, Saint-Germain figures as a priest after the order of Melchizedek.
12:27He was tending the flame of freedom in an ancient temple.
12:30Word came to him from his teacher that the continent would sink.
12:36And he was told to travel from the continent by ship to go to Europe in what is now the area of Transylvania,
12:45in the Transylvanian foothills, to plant the flame of freedom.
12:50Transylvania was in Hungary and is now in Romania.
12:53Saint-Germain did this, and the placing of that flame of freedom there was the beginning of the House of Rokkazy, the Royal House of Hungary.
13:01According to Mrs. Proffitt, this is just the beginning of a series of fantastic lives.
13:15Elizabeth Clare Proffitt believes that Saint-Germain has appeared on Earth at key moments in history.
13:21After the ascension of Jesus Christ, Joseph of Arimathea traveled by ship to the British Isles
13:29with the cup used at the Last Supper.
13:34That cup became the spiritual force field for the Knights of the Round Table, the coming of Arthur.
13:42In that episode, Saint-Germain incarnated as Merlin, the magician.
13:47Again the alchemist, again the great prophet and seer, the spiritual power behind the throne.
13:53He gives the vision to Camelot.
13:55And so that focus in England begins the opportunity for Saint-Germain to bring the teachings of Christ to the New World.
14:03And so he incarnates as none other than Christopher Columbus.
14:09The master Saint-Germain arrived at the New World at San Salvador, very near the ancient retreat of Atlantis,
14:15which had sunk when Atlantis went down 12,000 years earlier.
14:21Saint-Germain then ascended and he went forth as the immortal, very closely connected with the courts of Europe.
14:30A book has been written about him based on the diaries of Madame d'Ademar.
14:36And this book contains the record of the wonder man of Europe as he appeared and disappeared throughout the courts of Europe over a period continuously over 200 years.
14:47He astonished those around him, he appeared youthful, he wore diamonds on every finger, he precipitated jewels,
14:56but his main mission was to warn the heads of state of the coming cataclysm that ensued in the French Revolution.
15:03All that he predicted came to pass, still having the desire to form a United States of Europe,
15:09he contacted Napoleon to form that unity. But the power transferred to Napoleon, Napoleon misused.
15:18He went power mad and instead he met his Waterloo.
15:22Dr. Peter Ryle, professor of European history at UCLA, holds a different viewpoint.
15:28I think Saint-Germain was a typical adventure of the 18th century.
15:32He was a man similar to Casanova, similar to Cagliostro, similar to a whole slew of men
15:41who populated the last half of the 18th century, plying the trade of mystical religion,
15:51pseudoscience in an attempt to milk as much money as they could from the rich, the wealthy and the gullible.
15:57Dr. Manuel Odeberg of the Theosophical Society.
16:02I feel personally that Saint-Germain was one of a number of highly trained people who
16:14seemed to come before mankind or in different countries from time to time to restate certain
16:23ethical principles. He had universal ideas about humanity per se rather than any one particular
16:31country. And secondly, that he himself in his own personal life was pitched to what I might call
16:43unselfishness. People like Saint-Germain and Cagliostro could come in and partly use the scientific
16:51ideas that were floating about and partly accept them because they were not totally
16:56phonies. I'm not trying to say that. What they really were were people who read a little of this
17:01and a little of that, took the latest scientific statements and also made a great deal of money
17:07out of it or at least as much money as they could. At that time then he turned his attention to the
17:13United States where he had already been working behind the scenes with George Washington, Thomas
17:19Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin in actually preparing the Constitution of the United States and inspiring
17:26that declaration as well as the revolution, the freedom of those independent colonies. Just at the
17:32moment of indecision at precisely five o'clock, July 4th, 1776, Saint-Germain appeared on the balcony.
17:42The doors remained locked but he appeared. He gave an impassioned speech to the delegates
17:48and he told them to sign that document and the energy that he released was so intense that
17:56immediately they coalesced and they all signed the document beginning with John Hancock.
18:07As to the length of Saint-Germain's life, once again the experts disagree.
18:11Saint-Germain's supposed longevity is again a traditional ploy used by people who claim to be
18:19magicians or alchemists to prove that they have discovered the magic elixir of life. The fact of
18:26not eating in public I think is a very very very intelligent ploy of showing that somehow you ingest
18:34different types of foods as normal human beings do. There was a rumor that he had died in 1784
18:421784. But there are memoirs by the Comtesse d'Ademar, the French lady in waiting to Marie Antoinette,
18:51indicating that he was seen after 1784 and in fact for some years afterwards. So what I really meant was
19:01that it wasn't a fact that he had died in 1784.
19:14During Saturday evening church services in Pasadena, Elizabeth Clare Prophet claims that
19:34Saint-Germain speaks to his followers through her.
19:36I am the keeper of the flame of freedom for every nation. Saint-Germain you have called me,
19:51and Uncle Sam, I am he and I am here. I am in the flame of the holy science and of that religion which
20:04is yours is yours to claim. Yes, I come a believer and a teacher of the law of reincarnation.
20:13The law of the coming again and again of the soul is your cosmic justice. It is that cause of freedom
20:21whereby you understand that the goal and the calling of America and every true free nation is to lead
20:30mankind into that way of higher consciousness. This is my mantra which I give to you.
20:37I am a being of violet fire. I am the purity God desires.
20:44Hail Saint-Germain!
20:48Hail Saint-Germain!
20:56Hail Saint-Germain!
21:04Evidence recently discovered in the library of the British Museum indicates that St. Germain
21:21might well have been the lost third son of Prince Rokosji, born in Transylvania in 1694.
21:27If he died in Germany in 1784, he lived 90 years.
21:31The average life expectancy in the 18th century was 35 years.
21:3750 was a ripe old age. 90 was forever.
21:42We can account for those 90 years with a reasonable amount of confidence.
21:46St. Germain's lives before and after that, however, are a matter of faith.
22:01St. Germain's lives before and after that, however, are a matter of faith.
22:11St. Germain's lives before and after that, however, is an absolute nightmare.
22:17St. Germain's lives before and after that, however, is a matter of faith.
22:27St. Germain's lives before and after that, however, is your life.
22:30St. Germain's lives before and after that, however, is the place where the World War is a nightmare.
