I've been fascinated by the legend of Count Saint Germain since I first read of him I'd like to begin a discussion of what is the opinion of the truth about this figure among the members of this forum. There are a number of different accounts of what the truth could be about this legend. I've done some pendulum dowsing on the topic and it seems the legend could be largely true. I've also read from various sources that Count Saint Germain may be the founder of the Illuminati, Freemasonry and the Rosicrucians. It seems incredible if all this is true I don't know what to believe.
Here are some links in case you've never heard the legend.

I have none- just a question: What is succedanea? I looked it up and it's either a newborn scalp-rash or a species of poison ivy, so I'm sure that's not what they meant. So what is it?
The only definition that I can find that would make any sense in that context is 'substitute' so the letter would be saying that he has never had relations with a woman, or a substitute for a woman, ie homosexual relations? would that make sense?
You'd think that after mentioning it so many times in the articles someone would include the definition of it.
Anyway, the skeptic in me thinks that St. Germain may have been a secret society and that instead of one individual, it was whoever who made it to the title. Looking at various accounts of more 'modern day' St. Germain, I noticed the modern one didn't look at all like the 'ancient one'. Plus, being from PR I had previously done some (unrelated) research on a town there called San German, which was named for Ferdinand's second wife (after Isabella- I was shocked to learn that there was never an official saint called St. Germain)- when I went to do some research on her (since I learned nothing of his second marriage in Spanish history class) there was almost nothing on her. Just that she existed and her name was somehow related to royalty. Which makes me think that St. Germain either was a noble family or a title given to mystery people in medieval europe. Of course, this is just my thoughts, not supported by anything concrete.
Hello!
I've met a lot of people who believe in St Germain the ascended master from the Great White Brotherhood. I've even read his books (channeled), and to some extent believe in this figure, trying to see things as much down to earth as possible :wink: http://www.tsl.org/Masters/SaintGermain.asp
Hey that's good I hadn't considered that Count Saint Germain could be a title that is passed down in some way. I'm a bit like Hannah B I like to believe the legend but keep down to earth. I wonder if it is truly possible that a potion could bring immortality? I've read 'Count Saint Germain: The New Age Prophet Who Lives Forever' by Arthur Crockett and Timothy Green Beckley but I didn't think much of it. do any of the channeled books give tips on how to attain immortality? I wonder if Count Saint Germain likes going on the internet and if he ever visits the Astral Pulse Forums...
I don't quite get this ascended master idea either is that like someone who has died after attaining a high level of spirituality and can return to this life as it pleases them?
