Though Shangrila (like the movie) is a popular culture name. It is usually associated with Shamballa which is a legendary dimensional kingdom that can only be reached by mostly enlightened people. It is said to exist dimensionally in relation to the Himalayas and the Gobi Desert. Other people have said that Mt. Shasta in California is a Library of sorts for Shamballa. There is some association for some people between Shamballa and Lemuria which predated Atlantis. Also, California is named after a legendary Lemurian Queen, Califa, hence California.
After I received the Kalachakra Initiation which connects ones soul to Shamballa through Tibetan Buddhist Initiation along with 500,000 other people in Bodhgaya in December 1985, I began to experience many unusual things in regard to Shamballa.
I wrote about one charactor that I call His Oneness, of Lemuria, which may also be the King of Shamballa. I have had many visions and experiences regarding Shamballa and Lemuria which I believe now that an other dimensional world was created for some reason before Atlantis that might still exist today. It is my present belief that both Atlantis and Lemuria were colonizers of other planets, possibly as many as 500 and that technology was mostly lost by inundations of water in California(California and parts of Oregon are remnants of Lemuria. It is my belief that Atlantis was lost by a tsunami and that the Ark of the Covenant was a technological relic of Atlantis.Those who have studied the technology of the ark of the Covenant have since realized it is both a communication device and a weapon(directed lightning generator) Since Moses was educated as an Egyptian Prince, he likely knew of some Atlantean inventions like the Ark. Egypt during the time of Moses was likely a remnant culture of Atlantis and still had some of the technology from Atlantis at that time.
So, though there may still be space faring colonies from Lemuria and Atlantis on other worlds still, the Ice ages, tsunamis and earthquakes, droughts, floods and the like tend to wipe out technological cultures periodically on earth. It is possible that Shamballa was created because of this problem of maintaining a technological culture over 25,000 years on earth.

Enlightenment 2
When I was young I looked around during my teens and looked carefully at my peers. Since I already remembered most of my past lives I knew that being a soldier if you have to kill anyone creates a difficult afterlife generally but not specifically and I have had many memories of being reborn to the culture of the people I had been fighting and killing in that lifetime. This I found painful so I knew not to repeat this very difficult experience.
Next, I knew from past experience that spending ones whole lifetime becoming wealthy was likewise a fools errand because one cannot take that kind of wealth with them when they pass on.
Next, I knew from past experience that working myself to death like many people on earth do every day is not useful for a soul at least if one knows better.
So, my goal in this lifetime because of remembering the consequences of previous lifetimes was to first become enlightened and second, while I was becoming enlightened to work smarter, not harder, which is also a part of enlightened self interest and can lead to enlightenment if ones motivations towards compassion towards all sentient life in the universe is clear.
So, my goal in this lifetime was to become enlightened while doing it in as compassionate way possible. When the opportunity arose in my 40s I asked God to make me a custodian of wealth and he did. I asked to become a custodian of wealth because I had spent many years becoming enlightened in various ways and knew I was ready to become a custodian of God's wealth. God taught me during this process that wealth, first of all is quite different than I expected. Wealth is not just money. God's wealth always manifests as spiritual wealth through those pure of heart combined with wisdom and often with physical wealth. So, I found myself a custodian of much more than I had imagined on multiple levels.
If you are inspired by this then you should pray to God for enlightenment to the point where you would become a good custodian of wealth. However, if you are poor or even middle class remember you will have to learn many new things in order to be of use in this way to God.

Can't change the world singing a Song
Neil Young was on the David Letterman show last night. He said he had written a song called "You can't Change the world singing a song". He was a 1960s antiwar rocker in the group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young way back when the draft brought our country to the edge of revolution. The social revolution of those times really tore the soul of America up. It has never really recovered from those times. He said, "This government was smart enough not to re-institute the draft because if they did they would have been voted out of office. Instead they just kept sending the same guys in again, again and again." (the previous was paraphrased)"
The old Chinese Curse of "May you live in Interesting times" comes to mind. Interesting times meant people dying and many changes. This curse was created as a norm before the idea of progress really took hold in China. So "interesting times" mostly meant a whole lot of people dying in a war or famine.
I think you can educate people by singing the right song. You can join like minded people emotionally by singing the right song but most real change comes from bad things like famine, plague, war, pestilence, bad storms and earthquakes. So, change tends to be a bad thing more than a good thing in human history. It has taken a long time for humans to think of change as a good thing. With Global warming, oil prices, terrorist wars etc. I think it is quite understandable why people are wondering if there actually could be good change to their lives in these difficult times.
Falling in love might be a good thing. Raising a family might be a good thing. Staying alive might be a good thing but it is getting very hard to see beyond this for the average person on earth now. Maybe the era of believing in big dreams is dead for humanity. Is believing in something just being naive? Keep hope alive!

Saint Germain is my Ancestor
To make this more accurate, Francis Bacon of England is my ancestor. What is also funny to me is that in the 1970s and 1980s I met people who actually believed I was Saint Germain. I told them I wasn't but they wouldn't believe me. They thought because I knew so much about him and that since many believe he was over 6 feet tall like me and very intuitively gifted like I am(hereditary) that I must be him. I suppose this was because they met me while hiking on Mt. Shasta much like Mr. Ballard met Saint Germain there during the late 1920s.
No, I'm not Saint Germain but he is a relative of mine. I have the same gray halo of white hair in the front around my Temples but mostly natural dark hair on the rest of my head. Even my father in law asked if I dye my hair but I don't. It's just hereditary. My Aunt had the same hair pattern of gray just in front around the temples and mostly natural dark hair on the rest of her head just like me as well(hereditary).
However, I myself experience myself as one of Saint Germain's bodies on earth. He and Jesus have been my teacher's since I was born. I can remember having chicken pox at age 5 and my mother and grandmother praying in the next room as children sometimes died of it back in 1953 when I was 5. Jesus came into the room and the whole room turned golden and I was healed over the next hour or so from Jesus and my mother's and grandmother's prayers. This was such and amazing experience that sometimes I almost wanted to be sick just so Jesus would come back and visit me and heal me because it was just so amazing!
I found starting then I could always talk to Jesus and then later in life I learned to talk to Saint Germain as well. Later still my father told me that his father said we were all related to Francis Bacon of England during the time of Queen Elizabeth the First. He said we were all descendants of him. So since Jesus and his angels were always around me and since Saint Germain was an ascended relative I have always talked to them often, Jesus and Arcangel Michael since they appeared to me as a little child and Saint Germain after I learned to talk to him and then he appeared to me to.
In 1973, Saint Germain appeared to me and it was so very powerful that I fainted on Easter Night 1973 in Rancho Bernardo, California. When I woke up I realized that Saint Germain had reprogrammed and re-engrammed my brain and mind. I have been much more aware of amazing things, past, present and future since then. I have always known things before they happen but after that experience I often not only know things before they happen but I often know why they happen all over the world as well. This is still very amazing to me. However, like all gifts they work at God's will, Automatically. They turn on automatically when I need to know something anywhere or anywhen on earth. I often pray or write about these things and then I let them go.
So when I reread what I write places like here I almost can't remember writing them. I know God uses me to do his work so I feel my life is Graced in this way.

Obama or McCain
It is obvious to anyone who has seen more than 3 presidential elections in action that Obama is a better peacetime president like President Kennedy and President Clinton both were. However, if there is to be war then likely McCain would be a better president. However, in past elections the voters tend to vote in non-veterans as President. The reason for this is simple. People who have been to war tend to have to a greater or lesser degree a slight problem with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. For example, McCain has two things in this direction against him. The irritability that comes from the aging process and having been tortured as a Navy Pilot in North Viet Nam. These two factors tend to make him unsuitable for being president. I think if either age or the torture were not a factor he would make a good President. However, both are not a good idea in a President.
Next we have Obama, who is inspiring but inexperienced in world affairs. I think McCain without his age or his torture would make the better statesman and President on the world stage. However, Obama might do better inpiring the whole world if it was more peaceful. However, if Russia is going to start another Cold War as it appears they are while China wages a de facto economic War on the world while the middle east and other oil nations wage an oil based economic war on the world it is anybody's guess who actually would make the better president in the present world climate.

Russia through Georgia to Iran
For those of you too young to remember the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, I would like to share this thought. The Soviet Union, the core of which now is Russia attacked Afghanistan and likely would have taken next, Iran, during the 1980s.
Since the basis of Russia's Governmental wealth is now nationalized oil, I believe oil is their goal now as well. They have watched the United States move into Iraq because they believe the U.S. wanted oil. Russia sees nothing wrong with taking Georgia, and possibly Azerbaijan on the way to taking Iran. They are emulating the United States in this. However, they must also reckon with Europe and the United States in order to do this. I don't think China will stand idly by in all this either as they have many oil interests in Iran as well. So now Georgia and any country between Russia and Iran are now in jeopardy of being overrun in a new Russian offensive. It has been said by Georgia that if Russia is allowed to do this then all of Europe is also in jeopardy potentially as well.
added Tuesday August 12th 2008. It is my present belief that it is all about opportunities and what is cost effective for Russia. If Russia can get away with taking Georgia and the other countries between itself and Iran, it will do so. If it is easier to sell Iran nuclear technology like they are doing now they will do that. If the opportunity arises in the next 10 years to move all the way to Iran and to take Iran and its oil they will do that. It is all about what is cost effective both economically, militarily and in all ways? Since the basis of what is now working for the Russian Government is nationalized oil, looking for new oil to nationalize is a given and anyone who doesn't think so is just very naive.

Eightoeightoeight
I have been watching the beginning of the Olympic ceremonies. I felt a lot like I did when I visited India in 1985 and 86. I was completely culturally overwhelmed. I am very aware that the people designing the opening ceremonies do not culturally think like me at all. I might as well be watching something from another planet colonized by people from Earth. It is definitely not bad. It is just completely so different there is no useful cultural context. The joining point is technology and a wish for peace worldwide. Other than that there are no real meeting points culturally because nothing really means the same there as here. One would have to get a college degree in China almost to have any idea at all what they were trying to say with the opening ceremonies.
And this is coming from someone who actually has taken time to study Buddhism, and Oriental thought. However, unless you are immersed in a China for 10 years or more one might not get what they are really saying. Does the world feel intimidated by these ceremonies? I would have to say, "Yes". What does it all mean? It means the world is changing into a completely new paradigm.
While the U.S. and Europe were fighting the war on Terror, China was tripling its gross domestic product per capita since 2001. We are entering the Age of China. Whether it is good or bad or both only history and the survivors can say.

Reality is Semi Solid Thought
Many physicists have said that physical reality appears to behave more like thoughts in a mind that anything else. It is also my experience the last 60 years in my life that life tends to be like this more than anything else as well.
I would like to start then with a series of questions answered through my life experience.
First, is telepathy real? I can't speak of everyone else's experience. However, I have been telepathic since birth to a greater or lesser degree ongoing.
Second, Can people see the future? Yes. Some can. In fact all can they just don't always know how to calibrate their dreams and other experiences to understand that they actually can see the future. I have learned to access these abilities that all have to a greater or lesser degree to actually make use of this far seeing and future and past seeing to my benefit and for all others as much as possible.
Third, can people levitate, Bilocate, and manifest in multiple places at once? Some can do all three right now, but not many. Some people can levitate. A friend of mine was meditating and wound up bumping his head on the ceiling to his bedroom in 1969. I was outside and came running into the house in Palos Verdes, California. His girlfriend who found him with his head bouncing on the ceiling was completely hysterical and inconsolable for several hours. My friend was very strange after this experience as well. I knew something very weird was going on even outside and became very frightened when this occurred because it generated a completely unordinary or unusual reality all around us.
So, it is safe to say that my experience of all physical reality is that it appears to be only semi solid thoughts too. However, most people can't deal with this and when they experience this sort of freak out. Even I pretend that reality is solid most of the time simply because it is too uncomfortable to stay in a state that always experiences the semi solid nature of physical reality.
However, there is one state of consciousness that works in semi solid state all the time. It is the state of enlightenment. In this state one is already everywhere and everywhen in consciousness and aligned with all compassionate and wise beings in all times states and dimensions already, so there is no vertigo living in a state of consciousness where one completely realizes that solids are only semi solid and very temporary at that. In the enlightened state, since one is already everywhere and everywhen and at peace and in union with all life in the universe, one is then in a God state in which solid, temporary and eternity are all the same and at peace with each other.

Perclorates on Mars
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/space_mars_dc;
_ylt=Ar3FnRoTN0z5xgYhFO3ZvtYDW7oF
According to the above Yahoo article there are perclorates in the soil of Mars. If these didn't come from rockets associated with the robot(s) landing there then it gives one pause for thought. Did the perclorates come from our ancestors who had to leave Mars because of too much space travel (rocket propelled) polluting the soil with perclorates there and making it uninhabitable on the surface? Could we be making the same mistakes in regard to perclorates here on earth now?
It is very possible that the Asteroid Belt that the Soviet Probe found to be a planet blown up by a thermonuclear war could have been a war between Mars and the Asteroid belt planet. If so, are we descendants from Mars or the Asteroid belt planet that the Soviets discovered blown up from a surface thermonuclear war?
I have always thought it very strange that Western media never picked up on this research by the Soviet Union during the 1970s. The only reason I could figure out it wasn't picked up was Fundamentalist Christian thought and the panic it could have created in the Christian and Muslim world.
The fear this research created in the intelligentsia of the Soviet Union is one of the many divergent reasons the old Soviet Union collapsed. The scientifically educated people of the old Soviet Union didn't want earth to become an asteroid belt too!

If You Live 10,000 Years
A Master once said to me, "If you live 100 years, you will live 500. And if you live 500 years you will live 1000. And if you live 1000 years you will live 5000 and if you live 5000 years you will live 10,000." At the time I said something like, "I'll have to see that to believe it." But at the same time a part of me said, "Could this actually be possible?" The Master smiled.
And now I'm 60 years old, not 20 something when the master said it to me and I say to you, "If you live 100 years, you will live 500. And if you live 500 years, you will live to 1000. And if you live 1000 years you will live 5000 and if you live 5000 years you will live to 10,000."
There are only 3 real barriers to living 10,000 years. The first barrier is entirely psychological. For example, a person cannot lift their hand in the air unless they first believe they can or at least believe it is possible.
If you believe it is possible that you could live 100 years, then it is also possible given the right sequences of events that you could live 10,000 really good years. You have to believe in the possibility first for there to be any possibility at all.
Second, one must take care of their health, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
And third, the possibility of medical intervention to save and preserve your life on into the future but only in a way that you want to live with long term.
So, if enough of your self designed parameters come into place you might choose to live on indefinitely!
It is commonly said to young people in the United States and probably Europe, "If you live to be 30 then it is a statistical probability that you will live until 90."
It is my belief that the 10,000 year saying is becoming relevant in the same way because of psychological, educational and medical advances in the civilized world.

For International Travelers
http://news.yahoo.com/s/
pcworld/20080801/tc_pcworld/149303
I found the above article at yahoo's "most popular" site after I wrote the following article. It's title is: US BORDER AGENCY SAYS IT CAN SEIZE LAPTOPS
A friend of our sent an email to us regarding the changes to international Air travel from the U.S. What we found out surprised us. It seems that any electronic device can be confiscated for up to 6 months or more even if they don't suspect you of anything at random. What this means in real terms is: don't take a laptop with your passwords and bank accounts on board a plane as they could be compromised by corrupt government officials or their friends or families. Don't put anything on your cellphones, blackberries, laptops, whatever electronic thing you take on board because it could be taken from you and your pictures, bank accounts, personal writings or anything could wind up in the hands of people who don't care at all about you and would think nothing of harming you or your family. It seems Big Brother is everywhere these days. I think too much freedom has been compromised for less than nothing. It's sad. Our forefathers and foremothers are turning over in their graves at the loss of real freedom and privacy.

What this means in real terms is: don't take a laptop with your passwords and bank accounts on board a plane as they could be compromised by corrupt government officials or their friends or families. Don't put anything on your cellphones, blackberries, laptops, whatever electronic thing you take on board because it could be taken from you and your pictures, bank accounts, personal writings or anything could wind up in the hands of people who don't care at all about you and would think nothing of harming you or your family. It seems Big Brother is everywhere these days. I think too much freedom has been compromised for less than nothing. It's sad. Our forefathers and foremothers are turning over in their graves at the loss of real freedom and privacy.
Saint Germain
quote by Saint Germain paraphrased," WHETHER BEINGS LOVE ME OR FEAR ME IS IRRELEVANT. IF BEINGS GIVE ME THEIR ATTENTION I WILL TAKE THEM TO ENLIGHTENMENT AND BLISS."
INTRODUCTION
My wife just reminded me that most of the world knows nothing about Saint Germain so I decided to give a brief explanation. The Enlightened and now Ascended Master Saint Germain is thought to have ascended like Jesus in the year 1684 AD somewhere in Europe and very likely in England where he was born as Francis Bacon, the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth I of England and who later served as the Lord Excheqeur of London. He was also known as the Compte De Saint Germain in France and England and as Prince Ragocy of Transylvania. Some people believe that before he became ascended that the legends of Vlad the Impaler of Transylvania who was the historic Count Dracula, and the miracle worker, Prince Ragocy of Transylvania became intertwined into the same legend to become the perverted as the present pulp science fiction story of Count Dracula that we see in movies since Bela Lugosi in the 1930's in the United States.
However, although Prince Ragocy of Transylvania, Francis Bacon of London, and the Compte De Saint Germain of France were likely all the same person no one has proof that I know of. In addition to this the Compte De Saint Germain frequented all the courts of Europe and especially that of Louis the 16th and Queen Marie Antonette of France. He spoke, it is said as if he were there at ancient battles thousands of years before and spoke intimately of knowing people from divergent cultures and spoke almost all languages fluently like a native born to the language and without any accent even dead languages and played like a virtuoso on the violyn. I have one of the books of music found by Manly P. Hall and published by his still existent Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles? It was/is? at 3910 Los Feliz Boulevard Los Angeles, California in the early 1980's when I purchased it. This music is called "The Music of the Compte De Saint Germain". There is also a painting of the Comte. De Saint Germain by the artist Thomas in the Louvre in France. I would like to quote from "Notes on the music of ST. Germain" from inside the published music folio from the Philosophical research society there is no page number other than the fact that I purchased the 266th of 1000 copies on the previous page. begin quote
"The mysterious Comte de St.-Germain is frequently mentioned by memoir writers of the eighteenth century, usually with the highest expression of wonder and admiration. He travelled in elite circles being the confidant of kings, emperors, princes, statesmen, titled ladies, scientists, scholars, and artists. He was always recognized as an aristocrat and nobleman, lived in the best of style, and enjoyed unlimited credit in the banks of Europe. The actual circumstances of St. -Germain's origins are uncertain, and the details of his personal life are shrouded in the deepest obscurity. Perhaps the most comprehensive statement describing the Comte de St. -Germain is contained in a letter dated April 15, 1758, written by Voltaire to the Emporer Frederick of Prussia. "He is a man who never dies and knows everything."
continued quote: "This mysterious gentleman spoke many languages-- including Oriental dialects without an accent, was a brilliant chemist, and artist of rare talents, a diplomat of distinction, and a competent musician. E.M. Oetinger in his work "Graf ST-Germain, Leipzig, 1846 writes "Just as great and worthy of admiration was the musical genius of the Comte. He played almost all instruments, but above all the violin with such consummate mastery that one believed oneself to be listening to a second Maestro Tartini---his first instruction in music he claimed to have enjoyed about 700 years ago from a Benedictine monk, an abbot of Avellana, by the famous master Guido Arezzo, and as concerns church music, claimed to have been educated five centuries later under Palestrina."
quote continued:"According to Madame Blavatsky he was compared to Paganini by those who had heard both. It was also reported of St. -Germain that he sometimes played behind a screen producing the effect of half a dozen instruments sounding at once." end quote
This introduction to the Comte de Saint Germain's music was compiled by Manly P. Hall and I shared only about 1/4 of it. The music introduction says, "The Favorite Songs from the Opera Called the L'Incostanza Delusa to which is added Six Sonatas for Two Violins with a Bass For the Harpsicord on Violincello."
Happily, I just found my copy of the Comte De Saint Germain published by I. Cooper Oakley in 1912 in Milano by "ARS REGIA" CAsa Editrice Del Dott. G. Sulli-Rao. She also published "Traces of a Hidden Tradition in Masonry and Mediaeval Mysticism" which sold for 5 pounds sterling in England and "Mystical Traditions" also for 5 pounds and in french "Traditions Mystiques" traduction francaise for 4 pounds
It appears Cooper Oakley visited famous public as well as private libraries and collections of descendants of those who knew the Comte De Saint Germain to do factual research for her book.
As a part of the introduction from Annie Besant who was then President of the Theosophical Society begins the quote as follow begin quote from Forward---- The Great Occultist and Brother of the White Lodge, fragments of whose life are herein given was the greatest force behind the intellectual reforming movement which received its death blow in the outbreak of the French Revolution. Phoenix-like, it has re-arisen, and it re-appeared in the 19th century as the Theosophical Society, of which this great Brother is one of the recognized Leaders. Still living in the same body the perennial youth of which astonished the observers of the 18th century, He has fulfilled the prophecy made to Madame D'Adhemar that He would show Himself again a century after His farewell to her, and in the growing spritual movement whcih is seen around us on every side, He will be one of the acknowledged Chiefs. Profoundly interesting, therefore, must be every detail that can be gathered of His eighteenth century life, and much is bathered here. London 1911. Annie Besant President of the Theosophical Society.
Chapter 1 of the same book begins on page 11 at the bottom of the page is a quote from Madame Blavatsky "The Comte De St. Germain was certainly the greatest Oriental Adept Europe has seen during the last centuries. quoted from the Thosophical Glossary, H.P. Blavatsky.
Printed in foldout form is a copy of a letter from the Comte De St. Germain written November 22nd 1735 that is in the British Museum. Since it is in French longhand I find it difficult to read even though I am conversant in French, my friends tell me without an accent.
Beginning on page 12 begin quote "Among the strange mysterious beings, with which the eighteenth century was so richly dowered, no one has commanded more universal coment and attention thatn the mystic who was known by the name of the Comte De Saint Germain. A hero of romance; a charlatan; a swindler and an adventurer; rich and varied were the names that showered freely upon him. Hated by the many, loved and reverenced by the few, time has not yet lifted the veil which screened his true mission from vulgar speculators of the period. Then as now, the occultist was dubbed charlatan by the ignorant; only some men and women here and there realised the power of which he stood possessed. The friend and councilor of kings and princes, an enemy to ministers who were skilled in deception, he brought his great knowledge to help the west, to stave off in some small measure the storm clouds that were gathering so thickly around some nations. Alas! his words of warning fell on deafened ears, and his advice went all unheaded.
Looking back from this distance of time it will be of interest to many students of mysticism to trace the life, so far as it may yet be told, of this great Occultist. Sketches are to be found here and there from various writers, mostly antagonistic, but no coherent detailed account of his life has yet appeared. This is very largely owing to the fact that the most interesting and important work, done by M. De St. Germain, lies buried in the secret archives of many princely and noble families. With this fact we have become acquainted duing the careful investigations which we have been making on the subject. Where the archives are situated we have also learned, but we have not yet in all cases received permission to make the necessary researches.end quote
Later on page 20 we find Cooper-Oakley believing from research that the Comte de Saint Germain is actually Franz-Leopol, Prince Ragoczy, of Transylvania. She later quotes on the bottom of page 20 and 21 from Prince Karl of Hesse Memoires de Mon Temps P. 133 Copenhagen, 1861. Writing of Monsiour de St. Germain: "Some curiosity may be felt as to his history;I will trace it with the utmost truthfulness, according to his own words, adding any necessary explanations. He told me that he was 88 years old when he came here, and that he was the son of the Prince Ragoczy of Transylvania by his first wife, a Tekeli. He was placed when quite young, under the care of the last Duc de Medici (Gian Gastone), who made him sleep while still a child in his own room. When M. de St. Germain learned that his two brothers, sons of the Princess of Hesse-Wahnfried(Rheifels) had become subject to the Emperor Charles VI., and had received the titles and names of St. Karl and St. Elizabeth, he said to himself:'Very well, I will call myself Santus Germano, the Holy Brother.' I cannot in truth guarantee his birth, but that he was tremendously protected by the Duc de Medici I have learnt from another source." end quote. Some other information is available at www.alchemylab.com/count_saint_germain.htm --- I have no affiliation with this site but it looked interesting.
Also, I just found two other websites connected to an organization I had affiliation from my birth until age 21(from 1948 until 1969). They are www.saintgermainfoundation.org and saintgermainpress.com --- The first is connected to Shasta Springs located in between Dunsmuir and the city of Mt. Shasta in northern California, USA and the second is where you can locate publications mostly channeled by Mr. Ballard between 1930 and 1939 and Mrs. Ballard until the early 1970's. end of my introduction to Saint Germain and beginning of my Personal experiences with Saint Germain
My own personal knowledge of the Ascended Master Saint Germain was attained while I was a baby and child growing up. However, now as a man of 56 I see Jesus and Saint Germain as my spiritual fathers of this lifetime. I prefer Saint Germain in some respects because being psychicly gifted I find that every church has its own astral Jesus attached to that church. None of these Jesus' are the actual Jesus of Nazereth but are created by the beliefs of the ministers and the people attached to that church. Many people need this kind of security. However, I experience this as many false Jesus'. However, I know that as Jesus said, "In my father's house are many mansions." Because of this I also respect all churches to be what they are and to help those who can be helped in that way. Also, I have met a High Tibetan Lama who once told me that he knew of someone who had become completetly enlightened meditating on a dogs tooth because he believed it was one of the teeth of the Buddha. Because I have heard of thousands of peoples lives affected in this way through faith both Christian and Buddhist and others I deeply respect that, "The Lord moves in mysterious ways."
The first instance I know of the Comte de Saint Germain in America is an episode where he was at the signing of the Declaration of Independance. Many of the signers spoke of how they were afraid of dying of losing everything including their families when the Comte stood up and spoke. He said something like, "Sign this document even if you lose everything including your lives. The whole human race in the future will succeed because you have signed this document whether you all live through this or not." This was all paraphased of course. John Hancock was the most moved and ran up and signed boldly followed by all the others. When they looked for the Comte to thank him he had disapeared. It is doubtful if any of the signers knew the man to be the Comte de St. Germain.
Later he tried first with Louis the 16th and then later Napolean to create the United States of Europe as well but both men failed him in this. Both men let women turn their heads in an unguarded moment and they and France were temporarily lost. Finally, today the Comte's dream is fulfilled in the present European Union. I wonder what name the Comte de Saint Germain is using now?
In some ways I was very pleased in reading" the Da Vinci Code" and also seeing the movie "National Treasure" as both trace some of the history of the Masons and the Rosicrusians and the Knights Templar all of which the soul of Saint Germain is supposed to have founded throughout several of his recent lifetimes. However, it is generally accepted that he is still wearing the body of Francis Bacon which he raised in 1684. Though the movie, National Treasure, is likely all fictional, still it is based upon a lot of the ideas of the Masons, Knights Templar and many Rosicrucians etc.
The most interesting public place in regard to all this that I know of in the US is the Rosicrucian museum in San Jose, California. It has real egyptian mummies and all sorts of arcane and interesting stuff for the public to see. Though I haven't been there in at least 15 years I just found the websites for the museum and the rosicrucian organization in San Jose, California the museum is egyptianmuseum.org and the rosicrucian organization is at rosicrucian.org --- I have not afiliation with either but I have visited the museum several times in san jose, the last being about 15 years ago.
The story of Saint Germain's Ascension as I have heard it from an "I AM" interpretation goes like this. Saint Germain's primary teacher along with Jesus is sometimes called The Great Divine Director or Lord Maha Chohan or the Lord of the Chohans. The Chohans are Saint Germain, Morya El or El Morya to some, Dwal Khul and four others. I believe that Jesus is one of the seven Chohans. The Chohans are seven in number and are masters on earth of seven different qualities. There are seven different Arcangels to match these seven Chohans. The Chohans are representing mankind and help guide and protect mankind whereas the Arcangels protect souls coming into bodies and being born, while in bodies and while leaving bodies and transiting to heaven realms etc. They have many other jobs as well. However, this is the job I know the most about now from many many personal experiences in this life and thousands of others.
One of the Comte de St. Germain's last initiations was to sit on a battlefield while everyone was being killed and dying around him and to remain centered and prevent any harm to himself while not interfering with the battle in any way. This was one of his final tests before he ascended like Jesus never to die again.
Anyway, the story goes that one day The Great Divine Director appeared to the Comte De Saint Germain (Francis Bacon) and told him he had become completely enlightened. Saint Germain was completely amazed. The Great Divine Director said something like: "Saint Germain you will never die again!" Saint Germain said something like, "May I stay on earth to help the children of earth create a heaven on earth?" The Great Divine Director said, "Yes!" Obviously I am paraphrazing as I have no text before me. These are simply the stories about Saint Germain told to me in the "I AM" teachings as I grew up.
So Saint Germain is still alive walking around in a body(whenever he wants to) to help the children of earth create a heaven on earth now and in the future. My theory is that when earth becomes a heaven it will become a star in the sky for by then we will all become pure energy forms.
How I met Saint Germain in this lifetime. I suppose one could say it began before I was born when my mother began attending "I am" Conclaves and Conferences in Los Angeles and Seattle when she was 16. Her father had been a Methodist minister who became interested in Unity and also Mr. Ballard who had had experiences with Saint Germain on Mt. Shasta cronicled in "Unveiled Mysteries" (Saint Germain Press) and further experiences in Wyoming at Mt. Teton Chronicled in "The Magic Presence" also published by Saint Germain Press. My father chartered a yacht to Tahiti 1939 with his brother and first wife and read "Unveiled Mysteries" and "The Magic Presence" during his long voyage by sail on the yacht to Tahiti and the Tuomoto Archipeligo nearby. He returned to mainland U.S.A via Hawaii as World War II began in Europe and was starting to move into the Pacific region as well. By 1946 my father had divorced his first wife and married my mother. I came along in 1948. By then my parents had been "I am" students of Saint Germain from 1936 for my mother and 1939 for my father.
Though I thought all people who were connected to organized religions of any kind were kind of nuts from about age 8 to 13, I encountered Childhood epilepsy from age 10 to 15. In order to survive this without any medications I developed a capacity for being extremely aware of what I was feeling and thinking at all times and through that developed awareness of what everyone else around me was feeling and thinking too. As time progressed I realized that I was very psychically gifted and was also told I was a descendant of Francis Bacon who eventually became Saint Germain(it is said around 1680 somewhere in Europe. From age 15 I dedicated myself as an aspiring adept of Saint Germain. Saint Germain has led me to study many paths just like he did. He was known as the foremost European Oriental Adept of his time. He has led me in this direction as well in unbelievable ways.
If you are interested in moving in this direction I can only share how my present relationship with Saint Germain and his Teacher Jesus began. When I was a child and forced to go to church often I would get bored. There were pictures of both Jesus and Saint Germain in my church with light coming out of their heads in all directions like a halo. I used to look at these pictures of Saint Germain and Jesus and pour my love to them like my mother taught me. I was about 6 to 8 years old at the time. As I did this amazing things started to happen for me. I was transported to worlds and awarenesses that I had never even considered before. I felt my awareness evolve exponentially as I did this. So I did it more and more. As time went on I found I could speak with them telepathically and they would answer my questions on a myriad of questions. As the years passed this experience became more powerful and more accurate and efficient until I realized I could trust my life to what was shared with me by Jesus and Saint Germain. I could stake my very life on what they shared with me so great the clarity became.
As an even younger child my mother and grandmother taught me to visualize what I wanted in my life and to not put my attention upon what I didn't want. However, I must say that once you fully develop the power of visualization like an artist it works 24 hours a day so one must be careful of this power because it never really shuts off. However, one can govern the intensity of ones feelings clothing a visualization. However, ultimately, there is no real limit to this power given by the grace of God so be very careful with it.
I was taught as a child that I was an Ascended Master Youth and that I was a God fusion, in other words God and I were one. This is a lot to lay on any child. However, because I trusted my mother I believed her and accepted this as sacrosanct. The good news about this is I eventually learned compassionate pragmatism and that is where I presently live. In other words "Be compassionate but also do whatever actually works."
So compassion toward myself and others, practicality and pragmatism governs the idealism I was taught as a child as it manifests now in my life.
Because of my gifts given by God's Grace experiences with Jesus, Saint Germain and Archangel Michael are everyday occurrances

The Chohans are seven in number and are masters on earth of seven different qualities. There are seven different Arcangels to match these seven Chohans. The Chohans are representing mankind and help guide and protect mankind whereas the Arcangels protect souls coming into bodies and being born, while in bodies and while leaving bodies and transiting to heaven realms etc. They have many other jobs as well. However, this is the job I know the most about now from many many personal experiences in this life and thousands of others.
One of the Comte de St. Germain's last initiations was to sit on a battlefield while everyone was being killed and dying around him and to remain centered and prevent any harm to himself while not interfering with the battle in any way. This was one of his final tests before he ascended like Jesus never to die again.
Anyway, the story goes that one day The Great Divine Director appeared to the Comte De Saint Germain (Francis Bacon) and told him he had become completely enlightened. Saint Germain was completely amazed. The Great Divine Director said something like: "Saint Germain you will never die again!" Saint Germain said something like, "May I stay on earth to help the children of earth create a heaven on earth?" The Great Divine Director said, "Yes!" Obviously I am paraphrazing as I have no text before me. These are simply the stories about Saint Germain told to me in the "I AM" teachings as I grew up.
So Saint Germain is still alive walking around in a body(whenever he wants to) to help the children of earth create a heaven on earth now and in the future. My theory is that when earth becomes a heaven it will become a star in the sky for by then we will all become pure energy forms.
How I met Saint Germain in this lifetime. I suppose one could say it began before I was born when my mother began attending "I am" Conclaves and Conferences in Los Angeles and Seattle when she was 16. Her father had been a Methodist minister who became interested in Unity and also Mr. Ballard who had had experiences with Saint Germain on Mt. Shasta cronicled in "Unveiled Mysteries" (Saint Germain Press) and further experiences in Wyoming at Mt. Teton Chronicled in "The Magic Presence" also published by Saint Germain Press. My father chartered a yacht to Tahiti 1939 with his brother and first wife and read "Unveiled Mysteries" and "The Magic Presence" during his long voyage by sail on the yacht to Tahiti and the Tuomoto Archipeligo nearby. He returned to mainland U.S.A via Hawaii as World War II began in Europe and was starting to move into the Pacific region as well. By 1946 my father had divorced his first wife and married my mother. I came along in 1948. By then my parents had been "I am" students of Saint Germain from 1936 for my mother and 1939 for my father.
Though I thought all people who were connected to organized religions of any kind were kind of nuts from about age 8 to 13, I encountered Childhood epilepsy from age 10 to 15. In order to survive this without any medications I developed a capacity for being extremely aware of what I was feeling and thinking at all times and through that developed awareness of what everyone else around me was feeling and thinking too. As time progressed I realized that I was very psychically gifted and was also told I was a descendant of Francis Bacon who eventually became Saint Germain(it is said around 1680 somewhere in Europe. From age 15 I dedicated myself as an aspiring adept of Saint Germain. Saint Germain has led me to study many paths just like he did. He was known as the foremost European Oriental Adept of his time. He has led me in this direction as well in unbelievable ways.
If you are interested in moving in this direction I can only share how my present relationship with Saint Germain and his Teacher Jesus began. When I was a child and forced to go to church often I would get bored. There were pictures of both Jesus and Saint Germain in my church with light coming out of their heads in all directions like a halo. I used to look at these pictures of Saint Germain and Jesus and pour my love to them like my mother taught me. I was about 6 to 8 years old at the time. As I did this amazing things started to happen for me. I was transported to worlds and awarenesses that I had never even considered before. I felt my awareness evolve exponentially as I did this. So I did it more and more. As time went on I found I could speak with them telepathically and they would answer my questions on a myriad of questions. As the years passed this experience became more powerful and more accurate and efficient until I realized I could trust my life to what was shared with me by Jesus and Saint Germain. I could stake my very life on what they shared with me so great the clarity became.
As an even younger child my mother and grandmother taught me to visualize what I wanted in my life and to not put my attention upon what I didn't want. However, I must say that once you fully develop the power of visualization like an artist it works 24 hours a day so one must be careful of this power because it never really shuts off. However, one can govern the intensity of ones feelings clothing a visualization. However, ultimately, there is no real limit to this power given by the grace of God so be very careful with it.
I was taught as a child that I was an Ascended Master Youth and that I was a God fusion, in other words God and I were one. This is a lot to lay on any child. However, because I trusted my mother I believed her and accepted this as sacrosanct. The good news about this is I eventually learned compassionate pragmatism and that is where I presently live. In other words "Be compassionate but also do whatever actually works."
So compassion toward myself and others, practicality and pragmatism governs the idealism I was taught as a child as it manifests now in my life.
Because of my gifts given by God's Grace experiences with Jesus, Saint Germain and Archangel Michael are everyday occurrances

Generating Compassion
First of all, generating compassion is a decision one makes like the decision to go to college or to go out and drive in a car on a long journey. One assesses the needs of life and one responds to those needs.
Also, there is idiot compassion and there is wise right mindful compassion. Idiot compassion often will get someone killed or maimed. Right mindful compassion is figuring out the most efficient way to help someone or a group of beings so the most compassionate benefit to all beings occurs almost automatically.Wise Right mindful compassion usually keeps the one being compassionate alive, healthy and sane as well.
Then there is crazy wisdom compassion. Crazy wisdom compassion is being evolved enough to almost die while saving people, especially children, for example, saving a child or unaware person from being hit by a car or other serious calamity in the nick of time.
I am a practitioner of wise right mindful compassion and crazy wisdom compassion as well. However, I would say wise right mindful compassion is being ultimately practical and crazy wisdom as being ultimately efficient but still practical so that everyone survives.
The easiest place to start with all this is to first learn to generate compassion for your family and friends. Most of the time this is easy to do. Then one can generate compassion for their city or area and then their country and then the whole world. I decided about 30 years ago or more to generate compassion towards all beings in the universe in all time and space. If you live in a dualistic reality this might be hard for some of you who define all reality as good and bad. I tend to look at beings as infinite shades of gray. All beings are sort of like the weather. It rain, snow, wind, hail good or bad? It depends upon the circumstances mostly. The same is true of all beings. So why not have compassion for all the trillions of beings somewhat like us throughout the known universe? We all live here together. We may all meet each other one day so let's get ready now. Also, since it is my experience now that all time and space is connected here and now in my heart and mind I do experience the union of all like minded compassionate beings in the universe in all time and space. This is not theoretical. It is more real than my living in a body here on earth. This alliance with all compassionate beings in all time and space makes me stronger as a compassionate being than I ever thought possible as a human on earth.

The Mummy:Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I went to see the new Mummy movie tonight. I enjoyed it because of all the special effects and the now familiar Brendan Frazier in the lead part. If you like Yetis mystically called, ancient Chinese Emperors and their armies and Shangri-La in Tibet in the Himalayas, then this is the movie for you.
I had been talking with someone today about how the Tibetan Buddhist Kalachakra Initiation is related to Shamballa. While watching this movie I also wondered about the connection to the world of Shamballa and King of Shamballa. Then I wondered about Shangri-La in popular culture since the 1930s. Though the movie is obviously fictional there are legendary elements to the movie. And since legends tend to have some basis in fact it only makes the movie that much more entertaining.

Juvenile Offenders
All children need attention to survive. The only real question is: "Will they receive enough positive attention to thrive?" So what happens in real time is that if children don't get enough positive attention they will get any attention they can. And if it is not positive attention then it is negative attention.
Positive attention creates eagle scouts, honor students, star athletes, college students and college graduates. Positive attention creates people who care about themselves and others in useful positive ways. Negative attention creates abused children or unloved children or criminals or all three. Negative attention creates children in jail, children stealing, children doing drugs, children dying, children killing each other or their parents, children going crazy.
In the early 1990s I chose to work counseling male juvenile offenders ages 12 to 17. I had had a good life and one of the ways I chose to give back was to help young offenders retrain as positive young men moving into adulthood and moving away from the future candidates for real life "Pulp Fiction" the movie.
At the time I was counseling male juvenile offenders who had more than 7 felony convictions(non gun related) ages 12-17 years of age. It was a very difficult assignment. First of all, these young men were hostile in that when you met them they would do things like call you a m-f- and other colorful phrases vehemently. However, as an adult counselor I was not allowed to respond with swearing or violence in return. So, the first job was to try to move these boys individually toward positive attention and positive actions. Since they all had been so abused by life in general they did not trust me or anyone else. I guess the best way to define them would be paranoid in the extreme. However, if you had been shot at multiple times in your life, and beat up or stabbed you might be paranoid too.They didn't trust anyone. They tended to bond together like in a gang and the best I could hope for was to be viewed as a helpful uncle type of figure and hopefully they wouldn't kill me or injure me.
My job was to try to save the 25% of them that hadn't already embarked on a life of crime. Many of them didn't even see choosing a life of crime as a choice. It was just what everybody did in their neighborhood and in order to survive there, it is what one did to stay alive. For a middle class guy like myself, this was a lot to take in for me. It was hard to believe that for many crime was a way of life from cradle to the grave as normal for them as breathing. Trying to recondition the thinking of these youths was very difficult. I found I had to become extremely pragmatic in my thinking in regard to them all.
It became easy for me to spot someone who could be saved from a life of crime. They vacillated more in their decision making than hardened criminals. I found there was an order to the thinking of hardened criminals, even in their teens. Many of these boys couldn't ever be saved, and some would only be saved by a good woman, whether it was a girlfriend, a wife, a mother or a grandmother. And some others were past hope and others I could see wouldn't ever live to see 20 or 25 because of their thoughts and actions. I was around 40 years old at the time and so these young men saw me either as a do gooder like a minister or priest or they saw me as an uncle. I earned their respect because they didn't want to go to CYA(California Youth Authority) where they knew they would be very harshly treated and where all the murderers between 12-17 go as well as other serious gun related felonies tend to wind up. They were all terrified of having to go there and become someones girlfriend and get AIDS or TB or worse. So, one of the reasons they treated me with respect was terror and fear of a potential worse situation.
I did what I could for all the boys there. I tried to be as fair and as helpful as I could to them all. However, when I took 6 shanks(knife like objects) away from one boy during the course of one day and then he put a butcher knife up against my back and laughed and I had to disarm him I knew it was time for me to quit this job before I died there or had to kill someone to survive. We were not allowed any weapons to defend ourselves as counselors. So when things got out of hand(and they often did) it got pretty scary at times.
After I resigned my post, my replacement was threatened by the same boy with a broken off broom handle and called the police. He was fired for this. Within 6 months, 2 counselors were murdered by juvenile offenders in San Jose where I worked then, one was beaten to death and the other stabbed to death with a shank. I'm glad I trusted my instincts to get out when I did.
At the time I was going through a bad divorce. I probably wouldn't have taken this job if I hadn't been a little self destructive at the time looking back now. Maybe I had a slight death wish because of that awful divorce and child custody battle. However, I learned so much through this experience that books could never teach. I learned that people who are criminals want respect more than anything else and whether you think they deserve it or not if you don't give them respect they might kill you.
Also, the things most suburban people worry about from criminals are mostly all false. There is an honor among thieves and they don't usually steal from poor people, only the youngest and craziest do that. Adult criminals think of themselves more like Robin Hood. Steal from the rich and give to the poor.
So in the end the middle class and the rich in many ways try to protect themselves in ways that aren't really useful because they don't understand the criminal mind. Criminals are only trying to survive any way they can. They still have to live with themselves.
In the end all humans are the same. If anyone does something they can't live with then they don't live very long.
