#12 ST GERMAN AND MARY'S ROLE IN THE FOUNDING OF THE LAW
It was in 2005 when I began regular conversations with the Gatekeeper to explore the lives of St Germain and of Mary.
We agreed to discuss their lives chronologically and examine the purpose of each life, their significant achievements, their spiritual growth and any linkages between their former and future lives. For those lives for which we had little or no biographical details, he agreed to reveal it; where their lives were more recent, he would look into their dark corners and if they agreed, reveal their hidden secrets.
The Gatekeeper made it plain he would not retell their lives. “Find a good biography” he said “What I want to talk to you about isn’t in their biographies; it’s their thinking, their mysteries, their purpose, the terror of their childhood. St Germain has asked us to follow the dialectic of Professor Christopher Columbus Langdell, the author of the Harvard case study approach; you sit in the same seat, I sit in the same seat, you do the research, I answer questions and we discuss the results in a conversation.”
“Should I call you Professor?” I asked.
“I am a no-nonsense Tibetan Llama; call me Gatekeeper, because I am the main guide of Dr Litchfield and I protect the gateway to his spiritual universe,” he replied.
Whenever the Gatekeeper reviewed a life, he was supported by a brain’s trust of their friends and colleagues, their biographers and sometimes by a major historian, anyone from a Plutarch to Arnold Toynbee. At times he would encourage the person whose life is under scrutiny to offer some comment, but mostly it is too painful for them to be publicly scrutinised so they delegate their life story into the safe hands of their guides.
The lessons they learned within their lives allowed us to pursue certain questions: how their lives contributed to the Divine Plan for the development of the Earth; how their lives illuminated philosophical or moral questions and challenges and whether their lives worked with the Light to reach their own ascension or the Dark to reach their own annihilation.
The lives explored here were selected by Mary and St Germain as extreme, interesting, critical or just fun examples of their lines to God. They experienced important Chinese, Asian, African and South American lives but Mary and St Germain encouraging writers from those cultures to examine their lives.
This journey will take us back to 7000BC to Noah, the first life within our historical or legendary record we could attribute to St Germain. But the Gatekeeper insisted that the most significant early life of St Germain was Krishna, one of the luminous figures of the Hindu religion. He would describe why it was significant with a revelation of how the law of God was revealed to humankind over a twenty thousand year period. He would also stress Mary’s role as that of the god-bearer, the mother or the colleague of every significant spiritual leader born to humankind.
KRISHNA (2595BC – 2554BC)
Who was Krishna and why would the Gatekeeper insist that The Line to God begin with him? According to Hindu belief, Krishna was an avatar, one of the many lives of Vishnu, the god of love. But it was Krishna who was Vishnu’s greatest incarnation, who, as one of his most joyful expressions, became synonymous with having pleasure and light-hearted eroticism.
Krishna was born in prison on the vernal equinox, as the eighth son of a king’s sister, Devaki, in a town somewhere between Delhi and Agra in Northern India. The evil king, Kasma, had imprisoned his own sister and her husband because he had been told he would be killed by one of their sons. Therefore, he swiftly killed his first six nephews at birth. The seventh son, Balarama, escaped his wrath and when the eighth son was born, Vishnu himself appeared to help the father smuggle out his newborn baby, Krishna, and exchange him for the daughter of a cow-herder. Krishna was to be brought up by the cow-herders, Yashoda and Nanda, in a simple country life. King Kasma would eventually discover he had been tricked and that his nephew had survived.
Krishna grew into a mischievous child, a trickster, laughing at his foster parents, stealing sweets and helping, when he could, other gods. As a young man, he hid the clothes of the female cow-herders, when they bathed. After concealing himself in a tree he watched them splashing in the water before they searched, naked, for their clothes. At night, in the moonlight, Krishna would enchant them with his dancing and flute playing until each one thought he loved only her. He would multiply himself so he could dance with each of the girls together before slipping silently into the night. But there was one milkmaid, called Radha, with whom he fell passionately in love. Today you can watch the blue skinned Krishna dancing with his love Radha and bewitching her with the irresistible call to love of his flute in many of the festivals in India. When it was time for Krishna to carry out his mission of removing evil from India he would put his love aside. Firstly he had to kill his uncle, the evil king, before he could rid the country of other oppressive rulers.
The later exploits of Krishna are celebrated in the Mahabharata, an epic poem, which is seven times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined. It is a narrative of a great battle between two families; the Kavaravas and the Pandavas. Because Krishna was related to both sides, he gave his army to one side while he joined the opposing force fighting as the charioteer for his protégé Arjuna, an archer and a Pandu Prince. Before the start of the battle Arjuna is reluctant to fight against his relatives. Krishna leads him in a discussion of nobility, duty and the futility of war, philosophy and metaphysics. Their dialogue is recorded in the sacred book of Hinduism called the Bhagavad-Gita, which means ‘Song of the Blessed Lord’. Krishna, in a Christ like transfiguration, is able to show the troubled Arjuna the supreme form of God. Arjuna is terrified and has to be reassured by Krishna as he returns to his earthly shape. Krishna’s oration on who or what is God, what is a human being, what is the purpose of life and one’s duty persuades Arjuna that it is right to fight against his kinsmen. Krishna goes on to enjoy the battle and survive it only to experience death later.
Legend gives Krishna two different deaths. In one, he survives the slaughter of the battle to be shot in the heel by a hunter whom he forgives before he dies. In another legend he is crucified. After his death he descends into hell before ascending into heaven and, on the last day he will return to India as Vishnu, on a white horse, similar to the image of Christ returning on a white horse in Revelations. Throughout his life legend says Krishna healed the blind and deaf, championed the poor and raised men from the dead. One commentator has him dying on 18 February 3120BC.
His legend raises the question of his authenticity, whether this heroic and romantic figure ever lived, whether he actually wrote any of the Bhagavad-Gita and whether the parallels between his life and that of Jesus Christ are accidental or fictional.
According to the Gatekeeper, Krishna is a unique incarnation in which two ascended masters, St Germain and Hilarion, combine their energy to exist together in one life. Vishnu, who is an incarnation of Lord Sananda and who would later live as both the Buddha and Jeshua ben Joseph the Christ has also experienced a variety of lives. Krishna, however, was not one of them.
The Gatekeeper also identified Krishna’s life as one of the most significant lives of anyone, anywhere, at any time and that St Germain was the dominant energy, full of dash and dazzle, sparkling with the joy of life and playing his Pan-like flute.
