Count St. Germain - Deceased February 27, 1784

Count St. Germain - Enigmatic Historical Character - Videos - Wikipedia

The Count of St. Germain's real name is unknown. He has been variously described as an alchemist, courtier, adventurer, charlatan, inventor, pianist, violinist amateur composer, and more. He is best known as a recurring figure in the stories of several strands of occultism - particularly those connected to Theosophy and the White Eagle Lodge, where he is also referred to as the 'Master Rakoczi' one of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom. He is credited with near god-like powers and longevity. Some sources write that his name is not familial, but was invented by him as a French version of the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning "Holy Brother."

Many believe I know the secret of the Elixir of Life,
lay hidden in a place which depicts Earth's final destiny.


St. Germain - Ascended Master - Lord of Time

Somewhere in my metaphysical studies I was made away of a character named Count St. Germain whose biography seemed more fiction than fact ... and yet somehow it resonated with my journey here.

The way I learned about him is that Count St. Germain was once a human who had evolve to a higher state of consciousness. He returns to Earth as a Teacher and Ascended Master to help guide the journey of humanity to closure.

Searching further I found the handsome image of him below with the lavender eyes. And then ... there it was ... the hidden clue I knew would show itself .... Count St. Germain sometimes went by the name Master Rakoczi ... another character played by Z.

When I discovered he was a Time Lord - it made sense because Z and I are here about the journey of humanity in the alchemy of time.

Just Molly and me, and baby makes three,
be happy in my Blue Heaven.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.




February 24, 1304-1368

Ibn Battuta - Videos

Ibn Battuta was a Sunni Islamic scholar and jurisprudent from the Maliki Madhhab school of Fiqh, or Sunni Islamic law. He is best known as an extensive traveler or explorer, whose account documents his travels and side-excursions over a period of almost thirty years, covering some 73,000 miles. This journeying covered almost the entirety of the known Islamic world, extending also to present-day India, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia and China, a distance readily surpassing that of his prior, near-contemporary and traveler Marco Polo.


Swayed by an overmastering impulse within me,
and a long-cherished desire to visit glorious sanctuaries,

I resolved to quit all my friends and tear myself away
from my home, allowing fate to guide my journey.

I set out alone, finding no companion
to cheer the way with friendly intercourse,

and no party of travelers with whom to associate myself.


The joy of the journey isn't in the result, but in the quest itself.

Quotes from Taken

My mother always talked to me a lot about the sky. She liked to watch the clouds in the day, and the stars at night... especially the stars. We would play a game sometimes, a game called, what's beyond the sky. We would imagine darkness, or a blinding light, or something else that we didn't know how to name. But of course, that was just a game. There's nothing beyond the sky. The sky just is, and it goes on and on, and we'll play all of our games beneath it.
