Anthony North writes about the Count St Germain
The existence of a real Count Saint Germain is, perhaps, not the issue of importance. Indeed, whether he was a real mystic or a con man is similarly of little value to what he became.Saint Germain became, in effect, a cultural continuance upon death. Built up by mythologies and remembered snippets of his life, he achieved the most influential and fundamental existence possible.
He became a mythological being who reflected back his mythology into the mind of the mystic. His perceived hopes and desires became as one with the journeying mind as it attempts to puncture that which is hidden.
Saint Germain was maybe NOT immortal in life. But in his death, he became so.
A couple of weeks ago I was trying to work out the usefulness of the concept of egregors in Notes from underground: Of egregores and angels. This was suggested by Matt Stone in describing deities that appeared in works of fiction (specifically H.P. Lovecraft’s Yog Sothoth), acquiring a cult and actually being worshipped. The Count St Germain seems to be a slightly different example of this.
