Introducing the Long Livers

By Signet IL Y’ Viavia: DANIEL

[Daniel Howard Schmidt]

First a fresh perspective, if you so desire to find a future here. Much is to be known and many lies or false statements are made in the name of history. We may wish to vomit a whole host of excuses. The voice has already too much to say and that too often mostly nonsense. Truth will come spilling out and that proceeds faster than it can be written, but Zanoni is a vast subject that should not be taken as a fantasy, a legend or even an allegory.  It was meant to tell a vast story hidden from the eyes of fathers, mothers, ladies and gentlemen. It speaks to the soul in a story worthy of all that are unwritten. The story of the liberated living.

We pretend to tell the story lightly. That so as not to blush in public markets, lest the idiot find us or seek us out. Its true depth is unbelievable. It carries the root of love back to the roles hidden behind the babel of academia to the age of the Melchizedeks into the Age of Righteous Kings, saints and sages and the pure role, the true role of Man—yes MAN-Purusha, Adam Man, or humanity, in the government of his life and faculties.

The true Rosicrucian unknown, in league with the founding of governments and institutions to support the coming of the Golden Age of Man, in its "New Atlantis or by its Great Instauration" was clear on this and foresaw its future. During the period when written the world of politics was in chaos. Has that chaos found any freedom? Dare we speak so loud honestly?

This Rosicrucian work rose out of a culture that supported a message that was not political or philosophical theater, but one truly written by a divine hand. As the babe, it was to suck the life out of Mystery, and shame even Shakespeare by its ending.

The work Zanoni, A Rosicrucian Tale was born following the Reign of Terror and the violence of Napoleon, in the age that spawned the derelictions of Karl Marx who graduated in the same year as its publication, who had been university bred and influenced by Friedrich Engels and Hegel and many others who rose out of materialistic rhetoric of the false idealism of the French Revolution, and it saw the rise of academic philosophy driven for political ends in the role initiated in the Communists Manifesto that first published on 21 February 1848.

Side by side with the decline in morals and ethics came the rise of atheism in the governance of culture—where governments became gods and their teachers their all-consuming angels. These gave rise to the culture of deterrents and ignoramuses.

So far gone was the once golden age that supported the role of the Melchizedeks, Philosopher-Kings and sages. Long gone, before the flood, before the Kali Yuga, in the age that once supplied the bloodline for royal philosophers and kings in the lineage of the modern messiahs and avatars of Man (Rama, Krishna, Thutmose IV, Amenhotep III, Amenhotep IV, Christ, Buddha, Akhenaten, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Boaz and Solomon and for us Sir Francis Bacon or Mejnour, the Comte St. Germain) only to name a few for the incredulous.

These are called out from the ages in the writings of Michael Sendivogius (a.k.a. Anthony Bacon, John Winthrop, the face of Shake-Speare, Michael the Great Servant (Cervantes), Zanoni and Kuthumi) and his prophecy. I have hinted about these in other works so far.

These days saw the rise of those who later influenced Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and the like, who gave us the world of fascism and Nazism and the vast culture of academic insanity that has dominated the rhetoric of our modern university systems. The world of spirit has been, in the age of Kali, flipped and the sign of the elements hangs its head upside down, and what is true is false and false is true, as the spirit is overshadowed by the elements.

Look for yourself. Do I lie? These were the seeds planted during the Reign of Terror in France, whose plants fomented the fruits of governmental demonism, despotism and liberalism in political cultures of human slavery and propaganda in decaying societies that have reviled the philosophy of love on the world stage for more than two centuries and truth in philosophy, love, honor, peace, devotion, meditation, chivalry have all been, by institutions pretending intelligence, shafted by the Universities. Darkness hangs its head.  God in Man forced to weigh anchor and give him up, for the bestial atheism and foul mouthed rhetoric and the unsound arts of liberalism as its religious hope is castigated by their false faced and scientific independents taken out of God.

Bulwer-Lytton’s work Zanoni points to this in the writing (and this may be from those original hands of the Mahatmas):

"All that was good, pure, unselfish—whether among Royalists or Republicans—swept to the shambles, and the deathsmen left alone in the pomp and purple of their victims!

"Nobler paupers than Jean Nicot would despair; and Poverty would rise in its ghastly multitudes to cut the throat of Wealth, and then gash itself limb by limb, if Patience, the Angel of the Poor, sat not by its side, pointing with solemn finger to the life to come!"

In the works of Tolkien these divine agents of men and women called the Long-Livers, or the Liberated-Living are referred to as well in his writing of the Lord of the Rings, though it is given in mythological form. It was to play on the story of these Philosopher-Kings and the little-known history of these Mahatmas and the founding of their culture out the lives of those committed to Sir Francis Bacon and his network, still living in their deathless state of mortal perfection.

Though that is the story yet to tell. It is the true story of the "Long-Livers" as pointed out in early Masonic history at the founding of the Grand Lodge of England, within the pages of a book on the subject, that today so many have forgotten.

Long-Livers is a curious history of such persons of both sexes who have liv'd several ages, and grown young again; and professes to contain the rare secret of Rejuvenancy."

It is dedicated—and with this dedication or preface we are alone concerned— to the Grand Master, Masters, Wardens, and Brethren of the Most Antient and Most Honourable Fraternity of the Freemasons of Great Britain and Ireland. . .

" Men, Brethren, —

I address myself to you after this Manner, because it is the true Language of the Brotherhood, and which the primitive Christian Brethren, as well as those who were from the Beginning, made use of, as we learn from the holy Scriptures, and an uninterrupted Tradition.

I present you with the following Sheets, as belonging more properly to you than any [one] else. By what I here say, those of you who are not far illuminated, who stand in the out ward Place, and are not worthy to look behind the Veil, may find no disagreeable or unprofitable Entertainment: and those who are so happy as to have greater Light, will discover under those Shadows somewhat truly great and noble, and worthy the serious At tension of a Genius the most elevated and sublime: The Spiritual Celestial Cube, the only true, solid and immoveable Basis and Foundation of all Knowledge, Peace, and Happiness.

Remember that you are the Salt of the Earth, the Light of the World, and the Fire of the Universe. Ye are living Stones, built up [in] a spiritual House, who believe and rely 011 the chief Lapis Angular is ___. You are called from Darkness to Light . . .

And now, my Brethren, you of the higher Class, permit me a few Words, since you are but few; these few Words I shall speak to you in Riddles, because to you it is given to know those Mysteries which are hidden from the Unworthy.

Have you not seen then, my dearest Brethren, that stupendous Bath, filled with most limpid Water. . . Its Form is a Quadrate sublimely placed on six others, blazing all with celestial Jewels, each angularly supported with four Lions. Here repose our mighty King and Queen (I speak foolishly, I am not worthy to be of you), the King shining in his glorious Apparel of transparent incorruptible Gold, beset with living Sapphires; he is fair and ruddy, and feeds amongst the Lillies; his Eyes Two Carbuncles; his large flowing Hair, blacker than the deepest black; . . . his Royal Consort, vested in Tissue of immortal Silver, watered with Emeralds, Pearl, and Coral. O mystical Union! O admirable Commerce!

Cast now your Eyes to the Basis of this celestial Structure, and you will discover just before it a large Bason of Porphyrian Marble, receiving from the Mouth of a large Lion's Head . . . - . a greenish Fountain of liquid Jasper. Ponder this well, and consider.

Haunt no more the Woods and Forests; (I speak as a Fool) hunt no more the fleet Hart; let the flying Eagle fly unobserved; busy yourselves no longer with the dancing Idiot [The Fool]. Swollen Toads, and his own Tail-devouring Dragon; leave these as Elements to your Tyrones."

" The Object of your Wishes and Desires (some of you perhaps have obtained it, I speak as a Fool (is that admirable thing which hath a Substance neither too fiery, nor altogether earthy, nor simply watery. In short, that One only Thing besides which there is no other, the blessed and most sacred Subject of the Square, of wise Men that is I had almost blabbed it out, and been sacrilegiously perjured.

I shall therefore speak of it with a Circumlocution yet more dark and obscure, that none but the Sons of Science, and those who are illuminated with the sublimest Mysteries and profoundest Secrets of Masonry may understand, It is then, what brings you, my dearest Brethren, to that pellucid, diaphanous Palace of the true disinterested Lovers of Wisdom, that transparent Pyramid of purple Salt, more sparkling and radiant than the finest Orient Ruby, in the center of which reposes inaccessible Light epitomized, that incorruptible celestial Fire, blazing like burning Crystal, and brighter than the Sun in his full Meridian Glories, which is that immortal, eternal, never-dying PYROPUS, the King of Gems, whence proceeds everything that is great, and wise, and happy."

Many are called. Few chosen.  Amen.

Eugenius Philalethes, Jun., F.R.S. [This indicates a member of the Royal Society. How if by this name? This was Thomas Vagan (Francis Bacon).]

This is a work said to be translated from the French, which is a falsehood. By Robert Samber, a prolific writer using the same pseudonym of Thomas Vagan [Sir Francis Bacon] and dedicated to the Montague family and particularly the Duke [as you know from history also because of the Montegue associations with the life of Sir Francis Bacon and the lives in Romeo and Juliet.]

Also, noted:

" A true Believer will not reveal to anyone his Good Works, but to such only to whom it may belong . . .This elevates us to the highest Degrees of true Glory, and makes us equal with Kings.

It is the most precious and most valuable Jewel in the World: a Jewel of Great Price, redder and more sparkling than the finest Rubies, more transparent than the purest Chrystal of the Rock [Philosopher’s Stone], brighter than the Sun, Shining in Darkness, and is the Light of the World, and the Salt and Fire of the Universe . . ." And also,

Divine Providence has given me this happy opportunity publicly to acknowledge the great obligations I lye under to your Grace, for these signal favors which you, my Lord, in that manner of conferring benefits so peculiar to yourself, so much resembling Heaven, and with such a liberal hand, without any pompous ostentation or sound of trumpet, had the goodness, in private, to bestow on me; and concludes by styling the Duke the best of Masters, the best of Friends, and the best of Benefactors. Eugenius Philalethes [Robert Samber]

This present volume of Zanoni a Rosicrucian Tale which we edit, making corrections, illustrations and some additions, is created and edited specifically so as to provide an easily read volume of the original 1888 Routledge and Sons edition of the work Zanoni a Rosicrucian Tale using also the limited edition of the leather bound Knebworth Edition created by the same publisher. [I try to eliminate the boring attributes of academic scholarship so as to maintain an atmosphere for legends of the imagination.]

I based the Series Zanoni, The Initiation of Glyndon, on a set from J.B. Lippincott and Company printed in 1882. Publishers had variations that they made to the publications, in order to hold copyrights.

There are clearly marks and monuments left behind from the lives of the Mahatmas in the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries. They were the same who first set up governments and society in America, founding Virginia and then New England with the migrations that formed Boston, New London, Cambridge and the institution known as Harvard University today as well. This is hidden history which holds in the background the role of the Invisible College, the Royal Society and the crowning glory of those active in the backgrounds of the fraternity and families at their founding.

The original works of Zanoni that survive are all copies of the original publications of the Nineteenth Century, and they are a very difficult read for the average person today, because of the language and grammar of the period.

Although it has never been out of print since 1841 when it was first published. I have broken the sacrilege of traditions to put out this volume only to ensure its clarity for those who would be better served by it. The same is true for the works in the series of books that deviate from it called Zanoni, The Initiation of Glyndon, which serve the role for what I call novella initiations for the Akshaya Patra Series of philosophical works. There is a great deal of room for original works.

In the Nineteenth Century, they printed to minimize the use of paper and maximize the number of words per page, and so the lines often ran on and on voraciously in the original.

This edition is edited for a little more clarity for the modern reader, while still maintaining the true sense of the original work. Editor notes from the Routledge and Sons edition are included in the text as well as personal additions that I have made.

It should be noted that in this 1888 edition the Prince in Naples is referred to as Prince di — and so likely the Prince of Naples and Sicily. In the edition I used for transcribing Zanoni Apertura a Napoli he was referred to as Prince Giovanni, perhaps a publisher’s decision. In Zanoni Apertura a Napoli I changed this name to Infante Gabriel:

Prince Giovanni [or simply Prince di —], in the original book, was a ruthless character who demonstrated lust and gravitas: wielding power without principles. I have changed the name to the one more likely to have played the role in history [if at all].

The named person was likely the all-powerful Spanish Infante Gabriel, who ruled Napoli at the time.

Infante Gabriel was born at the Palace of Portici outside Naples. He was named Prince Gabriel Antonio Francisco Javier Juan Nepomuceno José Serafín Pascual Salvador of Naples and Sicily. He was the fourth son of King Charles VII and V and Maria Amalia of Saxony.

Infante Gabriel’s death immediately followed that of his wife and child. He was deeply involved with music. His father had constructed the Theater of San Carlo, and so his power there was near absolute.

Little is known of Infante Gabriel’s escapades or abuses of power, but his crazy older brother’s sexual assaults at the palace were legendary. But the older brother did not live during this period.

The Infante Gabriel passed on 23 November 1788—they say of smallpox. His wife and child had passed away earlier in the same month, just a couple weeks before him.

His wife, Mariana Victoria of Portugal, died on 2 November 1788 . . . the child Infante Carlos José Antonio of Spain died on 9 November 1788, just seven days later.

It was his father, Charles III, who built the Palace of Portici (Reggia di Portici), the Teatro di San Carlo, and the Palace of Capodimonte (Reggia di Capodimonte); and he also renovated the Royal Palace of Naples.

Zanoni a Rosicrucian Tale is given here in the complete original for the most part although I have gone through and edited and clarified by adding historical or personal notes inserted only to help clarify meaning, particularly in the translations of the French, Italian or Latin as well. I have included these in square brackets and reduced the size to a small type for easy identification and to minimize confusion from the original work.

I have also italicized the dialogue to separate the dialog from the narrative and broken up the very, very long paragraphs to help draw out the meanings desperately struggling to be realized for their beauty and subtlety. As said, the ending is epic Shakespearean.

Much of Bulwer-Lytton’s inner work was a matter of scrying, as well as based upon his personal connection with the subjects written into their story. He did have a writing room for scrying. In this room there was a table where a crystal ball was kept for the purpose. These practices, originating with Dr. John Dee’s investigations, continued to be practiced in Freemasonry for many years and were instituted in the early works of Freemasonry. 

Many early members of Freemasonry in 1717 had scrying rooms, sometimes called Globe Rooms. There was a sincere effort on the path of enlightenment for study and meditation. It had evolved out of the work based in the Royal Society and the Royal College of Physicians and others at the 100-year anniversary of the founding of the Invisible College in 1617.

They even had a room similar to what is called the Globe Room seen at Gorhambury House, though in truth how used may be difficult to ascertain. Many of these evolved into places like those kept by Nostradamus or the séance rooms of the later mediumistic groups.

At Gorhambury these globes were Masonic and representative of the Cosmos and Earth forming the two Pillars or Yachin and Boaz, the outer pillars of the Tree of Life. The Central Pillar today is missing though it once existed but disappeared after the English Civil War. This is understandable since so did Verulam House.

Many of these items were buried as the formal organization at Gorhambury was dismantled at the time, on the return of Thomas Vagan (Sir Francis Bacon) to England. The central pillar however would have been either a crystal ball or magical mirror that was used similar to the methods to those used by Dr. John Dee. These items may be seen at the British Museum or at the collections of Dr. Dee’s at the Royal College of Physicians.

It would have represented Malkuth, Yesod, Tiphareth and Kether or the four worlds of Kabala. As Thomas Vaughan (Thomas Vagan i.e. Francis Bacon) points out, Malkuth, the Kingdom, is the perfected state and does not represent the composting body of the earth.

They referred to the practice in Freemasonry as the "Universal Mercury" or method for traveling and seeing anywhere in the world. It was practiced in the 18th Century. Bulwer-Lytton even had Florence Estienne Méric Casaubon’s original book on The True and Faithful Relationship of What Transpired Between John Dee and Some Spirits at the house. These works of Dee were preserved by those members of the Garter as well. But in the latter half of the 19th Century it fell out of practice except for those groups like The Golden Dawn and the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia.

But one would even doubt the skill set in these practices. Many buy instruments but there are very few musicians who play them. In is even more scarce within this community to find one accomplished.

Many pretend although there is a revival of sorts in many of the new thought movements. Even Universities today pretend to research their methodologies in the laboratories of the uninitiated. It is as those who attempt to levitate a plank before attempting a feather. Silly.

Honestly, God is not in search of another psychic or one endowed with miraculous skills. God is in search of the true devotee.  This would be someone likened to Mejnour or Zanoni or the likes of another St. John, exhibiting a strong sense of moral duty and devotion in the evolution of the perfection in moral character. Moral character is everything. Our lives follow the path of initiation, on the path of Truth, into what would be our moral destiny, to field our lives full of treasures for the measure of the soul, to take into our deaths or final sacrifice.

The rest simply has to do with transformation of human faculties.  The true measure of man is that measure of the senses in the spirit of righteous transformation on the path of one’s true nature in the spirit of achieving one’s moral destination. Heaven is not a clubhouse, neither is it a research lab.

We draw from the world our faculties and so societies ultimately fail. Man’s true measure is beyond the scope of instruments and yardsticks showing physical characteristics. This Baconian group understood the difficulties and these were annunciated by the Mahatmas in the letters at the founding of the outer order of the Theosophical Society.

Believe me, I am in this long list of outsiders with you, having only been walked through this maze by those greater than myself. But the inner R&C group of Freemasonry and Theosophy known as the "Secret Chiefs," Asiatic Brethren, or "Mahatmas" was uniquely different. These were Francis Bacon, Anthony Bacon and Dr. John Dee, who became famously known in the roles played in Theosophy as Comte St. Germain, Kuthumi and Morya.

Make no mistake, these are very serious players. They were once Puritans in fact of the true sense of Cathar and Gnostic Philosophers [Pure Ones] in the true sense as described in the Theosophical and Alchemical writings of Thomas Vaughan (Thomas Vagan) under the name of Eugenius and Eirenaeus Philalethes. Not those false-faced Pure Ones of Robespierre and Cromwell.

It was Thomas Vaughan who is known in history to have coined the word "Theosophy." This group has nothing to do with Jacob Boehme, though they show similar characteristics.

The lies of history are insane. There are treasures in this still hidden and buried (literally underground) at Gorhambury.  The room at the White Hart in St. Albans has been uncovered as well. That’s where the intelligencers met and stayed when passing through Gorhambury during the 16th and 17th Century and meetings were held for the writing of the Shake-Speare plays. The remains of the old home of Sir Francis Bacon at Gorhambury are not the living spaces, but the old meeting hall and chapel built by Nicholas Bacon. 

The entry to the current Gorhambury House has the black and white tiles from the old Masonic tiles that were part of the original chapel of old Gorhambury. Fitting entry into old histories.

The prophecy written into Zanoni is shared by the original Rosicrucians, Theosophists, Sendivogius and others, regarding the founding of the Golden Age. This year is the year 2017.  This is the centennial anniversary year of the R&C meetings (1517, 1617, 1717, 1817, 1917 and now the target year 2017) for what should be the Golden Age; or the beginning of the founding of the new age of Kings consisting of the Coming Race mentioned by Bulwer-Lytton. The Age of Rule by the Liberated while yet Living, or the Jivanmukti, which refers to those achieving "liberation while alive." Mejnour talks about it in Zanoni.

These are the embodiments of those referred to in Tolkien’s poem regarded as the Wandering Kings. i.e., "All that is gold does not glitter . . .", a speech, which refers to the Philosopher’s Stone and those who have taken on the life, duties and responsibilities of the deathless in God. i.e., "All those who wander are not lost, the old that is strong does not wither (Jivanmukti), deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken (the Phoenix), a light from the shadows shall spring, renewed shall be blade that was broken (the Arthurian line), and crownless again shall be King i.e. Francis Bacon, King and Philosopher or Melchizedek, the crownless king depicted in the ceiling at White Hall, by the same artist who painted the wall at the White Hart i.e., Raphael, who was one of their intelligencers.

There is a curious writing however in 1650.  It is the printing of the English edition of Michael Sendivogius, Novum Lumen Chymicum (New Chemical Light).

In Book 3 of Zanoni, both chapters XVII and XVIII Sendivogius is misrepresented as Sandivogius. Why? The name was misspelled and the reference incorrect. It is odd since Bulwer-Lytton possessed the book in the home in the occult collection at Knebworth House. There is a reason for this and it makes it even more curious:

It is spelled that way in the 1650 edition.  Curious now in the fact that the name itself is an anagram.

This is very strange. The name is misspelled. This is in the text of the book as well which explains the anagram which itself is false or has a double meaning that I take up elsewhere, but not only that, the anagram represented is on the cover, false or not, and it has two of the letter e characters in the anagram on the cover as well . . . but they should spell out Michael Sendivogius; the anagram Divi Leschi Genus AMO . . . but to make the anagram from this requires two e characters.

Note it even says, "Anagram matically. With the two halves of the word split up. The page hides something. Where is the other e? It is hidden in the name Micheel." It is written Micheel instead of Michael. Why? The letters a and e are swapped in the first and last name. Note also that certain letters have a dot under them and certain letters do not. Note the strange mix of fonts. 

This has a different arrangement of letters, but on the cover, it is plainly an error in the author’s name. This is the volume that Bulwer-Lytton used to quote in Zanoni.

It has a double meaning but historically they use the odd word Lesche (Gr. λέσχη) which is an Ionic Greek word, signifying council or conversation, and a place for council or conversation, although there was also a Greek Poet by the name who wrote the Little Iliad. The true anagram has to do with the coming of the Messianic King which is the true prophecy.

Thomas Vaughan was in England at the time publishing alchemical Rosicrucian works. Like other identities of Sir Francis Bacon, i.e., Thomas Vagan, Thomas Dudley, Thomas Durfey, Thomas D’Urfey, even Tolkien’s character, Tom Bombadil, these are all alias’ of Francis Bacon, and so one wonders—"Who was this Thomas Williams?" who printed this.

And of course, why was the name of Sendivogius altered on the cover and why did Bulwer-Lytton not know or did he? This is the copy of the book that he possessed. It was likely published, like the translation of the Fama and others, by Francis Bacon, who in Zanoni is represented by the character known as Mejnour.

I know that Michael Sendivogius was really Anthony Bacon, although this is not the written history. Just like the history of George Starkey, which represented the astrologer John Dee as the Knight St. George.

History has it all wrong but this was clandestine. It was John Dee and Edward Kelly (Both Intelligencers working with Anthony Bacon and Walsingham for the protection of Francis Bacon) who introduced the alchemist Sendivogius into the palace of Rudolf II in 1590, under the false name, and Dee vouched for him. This I believe was first after Anthony returned to England. Later Anthony traveled there when he went underground, and known as John Winthrop, under the same false name of Sendivogius.

It was this voucher by John Dee however that gave him (Anthony Bacon as Michael Sendivogius) notoriety and access in the assumed identity, as he traveled as Christian Rosenkruz, the Hierophant or Ioannes (Zanoni). 

We know also that Sendivogius was said to have attended Cambridge, which would have been impossible for anyone from Poland at the time. You had to be a person who was a standing member of the Church of England. 

The histories are false. But this is very curious, because in 1650 Thomas Vaughan (Francis Bacon) had returned from America and was very active in England working on establishing the greater foundations for the Invisible College, along with Sir Robert Moray, in the intelligence network that was still functioning, even at Gorhambury, before they dismantled it.  These years were the roots set for the founding of the Royal Society.

Mejnour was the Comte St. Germain or Sir Francis Bacon known to them as one of the Mahatmas. Theosophy in truth was founded by Sir Francis Bacon, under the name of Thomas Vaughan in the 17th Century.

Thomas Vaughan was one of two roles played by one person.  He also played his twin Henry Vaughan. Francis Bacon in the 18th Century was known to those within his society as the Imperator or rival to the Roman Emperor. Francis Bacon at this time was called Thomas Vagan, who was one of the "Long-Livers," and the one who possessed the Philosopher’s Stone.

Arthur Edward Waite mentions him but only briefly (as he does with any true secret he wishes to conceal from the public, he conceals these within rhetoric).

Thomas Vagan was the one who was called the true Imperator of the Rosie Cross. They are not ascended anywhere, though they are Masters in their physical and superphysical sense. They are held back at the precipice to assist those others along the way.

The Great White Brotherhood was this network founded by Sir Francis Bacon (which has nothing to do with the White Race, but the illuminated living.) Their members were from every race and they knew all languages (which begs to question even the works of Tolkien and the life he lived that was hidden).

The rest is sheer theater, drama that is Shake-Spear, or those things that are presented Arthurian under the banner of the Knight St. George. 

They are the true liberated living. Freemasonry at the founding in 1717, in the outer, saw these lives of their founders as the Secret Chiefs or the Long Livers.

There have been a number of persons that have gone off with them over the centuries, including I believe Isaac Newton, Mozart and Bulwer-Lytton among them. It was Sai Baba who said that Isaac Newton was still living, and living in the Himalaya’s according to John Hislop. He gave this out in one of his talks. They are likened to St. John, who was given this long life as well, as stated in the Book of John.

It is stated that Bulwer-Lytton was not found to be a Freemason himself. This is false in the sense that he was not a functioning member of the outer society. His closest friend whom he mentored was Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon PC DL FRS FSA.

Henry Herbert was the son of Lord Carnarvon Henry John George Herbert, 3rd Earl of Carnarvon FRS, who was also an author, Tory politician and member of the Royal Society who died at the young age of 49 years. The son, Henry Herbert 4th Earl of Carnarvon, was also the ProGrandmaster of the United Grand Lodge of England for Freemasonry and a leading member of the Conservative Party. He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and a Fellow of the Royal Society and high steward of Oxford University.

Henry Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon, was initiated into Freemasonry in the Westminster and Keystone Lodge and served as Pro Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England from 1874 to 1890 until his death in 1890.  Bulwer-Lytton would have been his connection with these original founders of Freemasonry. He became ProGrandmaster after Bulwer-Lytton’s death. It is not known but may be believed that he may have gone on with Bulwer-Lytton and the Mahatmas as well just after his 59th birthday (24 June 1831 – 29 June 1890), and this brings up a curiosity with regard to his father then as well who died at the young age of 49. It was the 5th Earl of Carnarvon who later funded Howard Carter in Egypt. They were from the famous Highclere Castle.

It should be noted as well that Carl Jung had also claimed to have been a descendant of the original 17th-century Rosicrucian families. It was Carl Jung, whom one of my early Rosicrucian mentors was associated, named Erwin Watermeyer. 

During the life of Bulwer-Lytton, Carl Jung’s Grandfathers and other members of the family were heavily involved in Freemasonry including Carl Jung, "Johann Sigismund von Jung who was a member of the Masonic Lodge Maximilianische vollkommene Einigkeit zur goldenen Sonne" [Maximilien United to the Golden Sun] in Munich. See: The Quest for the Phoenix: Spiritual Alchemy and Rosicrucianism in the Work of Count Michael Maier (1569-1622)

Carl Jung sought answers to many unresolved questions, that drove him to find resolution throughout his lifelong intellectual and therapeutic career with researches that stretched back into the history of Rosicrucianism and Dr. Carl Jung of Mainz who was associated with Count Michael Maier and the alchemy of the Paracelsians as well as the Royal College of Physicians and the Invisible College that first formed at Canonbury Tower in 1617 (according to Spencer Compton, the present Marquis of Northampton). Also, there were rumors of ancestral family romance associations in the Jung family with Goethe and Schiller who were also connected with the fraternity, that may or may not be true. Goethe and Schiller bear resemblances to these Mahatmas.

Carl Jung’s Grandfather Karl Gustav Jung, was a Freemason and the Grand Master of the Swiss lodge from 1850-1856.  He would have known Bulwer-Lytton. Bulwer-Lytton was deeply involved with the Mahatmas as well as the politics of the period. This is the same time period also, when HPB became intimate and active with the Mahatma Morya and she was involved with the German Masonic Lodges of Freemasonry. The Jung coat of arms was changed to that fitting the Rosicrucians to show the "per crucem ad rosam" symbolism in its imagery.

Frater Watermeyer, who passed in the mid 1970’s was an unbelievable genius who was also very magical and extremely psychic as an occult scientist and Kabalist. He had taught privately at AMORC for 30 years. His family had escaped Nazism by moving to South America and then came to the USA for graduate studies and then later worked for AMORC in the 1940’s.

When young Frater Watermeyer had worked with Jung in the collation of his work as a young man. He told us, his arguments with Jung were simply along the lines of "why don’t you just tell people the truth!" Which he couldn’t or wouldn’t because of academia.

To be clear these researches also go back to a family of mediums, mesmerists and others including Dr. Justinus Andreas Christian Kerner and his work with the Seeress of Prevorst or that pictured in 1826 of Friederike Hauffe (1801–1829), the daughter of a forester in Prevorst, a somnambulist and clairvoyante.  She formed the subject of Kerner's famous work Die Seherin von Prevorst, Eröffnungen über das innere Leben des Menschen und über das Hineinragen einer Geisterwelt in die unsere (The Seeress of Prevorst, revelations of the human inner life and about the penetrations of the spirit world into ours, 1829). I was first introduced to this by a friend Dr. John DeSalvo who wrote a book on this, and so I made an intense study of these relationships at the time. There is a deep history here of Masonic movement and migrations in new thought and enlightenment around the world. This includes George Rapp and those who left Germany in 1803 and settled in the United States, and formed the Harmony Society.

The inner Jungian group was completely separate from the group in the University. The Jungian group had lent the name of Jung to the university, but Carl Jung’s private work was not directly involved with the Jungian groups there that used the name and later formed within the University. There was an inner and an outer group, and the inner group had very little contact with them.

Frater Watermeyer quite clearly told us that none of the English translations were correct and he refused to use them.  He would only use the original German. Some of Watermeyer’s notes were later given to the German Grand Lodge of AMORC. Some were inherited by Cy Estes of San Jose.  Some were simply burned as instructed at death.

Michael Maier wrote the Themis Aurea on behalf of Francis and Anthony Bacon for the group [as in this image we see the Baconian lantern which guides the Candidate from a work of his in 1618 showing the initiation of Christian Rosie Cross] that included members of the Royal College of Physicians, amongst Francis Bacon’s group of Prince Favorites who met at Canonbury Tower, as well as among the Intelligencers involved in their work at the Meeting Hall at Gorhambury.

[The secret hidden in history is that Anthony Bacon was Dee’s Archangel Michael and had false identities as Michael Sendivogius, Michael Maier and Miguel de Cervantes. Intelligencers often met and stayed at the White Hart in the village of St. Michael at Gorhambury. Anthony’s life mask is seen on the frontpiece of the 1623 Edition of Shake-Speare, which was the culmination of their intelligence campaign. He was known also as John Winthrop and the ship’s captain. He was the Man who had command over La Mancha or the English Channel as a smuggler and privateer in the Intelligence network called the R&C or Rosie Cross, named for its Templar roots and the support of the prince, Francis Bacon, the last Tudor Rose.]

The intelligence network at Gorhambury was run by Anthony Bacon’s mother Ann, who was simply called, the Widow, which she signed in Greek. She connected the Puritan and Calvinist groups in England. Anthony worked night and day. He, like his brother, were phantoms outside of the court of Queen Elizabeth. They were sworn to secrecies from the time of birth. Anthony was known but unrecognizable and traveled under many assumed identities. Francis did as well, outside of court. They were the masters of deception, plots and plays and had a cast of supporting characters willing to do anything for their rightful prince and King; their Prospero, their Oberon, whom they called the equivalent of Apollo Sun.

[These were those sworn members of Prince Favorites often referred to in the Shakespeare Plays. They were those challenged by Beatrice to swear to heaven, the king and friend.]

It is not surprising to fine Freud as well was a Baconian, and his works deeply rooted in the unresolved psychology of Sir Francis Bacon and his relationship with his biological mother Queen Elizabeth [see this written into The Anatomy of Melancholy, published and edited in secret by the Intelligencer Robert Burton].

H.P. Blavatsky of the Theosophical Society predicted the return to the rule of ancient Kings in the mid-21st Century. Her so called guru was the Mahatma Morya. This Mahatma was Dr. John Dee, whom she met in London in 1850-1852. She referred to the fact that these Mahatma’s, her Teachers, were among those who would suddenly appear on the public stage with the return of the Golden Age of Man in middle of the 21st Century. 

H.P. Blavatsky's family was aristocrat. Her mother was Helena Andreyevna von Hahn who was the daughter of Princess Yelena Pavlovna Dolgorukova.  Her father was Pyotr Alexeyevich von Hahn, a descendant of the German von Hahn aristocratic family and great-great grandfather was a French Huguenot nobleman who had fled to Russia in order to escape persecution, when he was serving in the court of Catherine the Great.

H.P. Blavatsky's mother Helena Andreyevna von Hahn wrote novels under the pseudonym of "Zenaida R-va and was referred to as the Russian Georges Sand." She also translated the works of Edward Bulwer-Lytton into Russian for publication.  Here is where there is discovered the first deep connection between the HPB and Bulwer-Lytton, and explains why HPB went to London in search of her teachers in Theosophy, and not somewhere in the East. 

These were simply blinds played for the public sympathy and the further ignorance of history. It was in Astrakhan, Russia that the family befriended the Kalmyk leader, Tumen and there that the Kalmyks who were practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism, introduced HP Blavatsky to those aspects of the Buddhist religion, and her maternal great-grandfather, Prince Pavel Vasilevich Dolgorukov had been initiated into Freemasonry in the late 1770s and had belonged to the Rite of Strict Observance. There were rumors that he had met both Alessandro Cagliostro and the Count of St. Germain.

It was the library of Prince Pavel Vasilevich Dolgorukov as a young teenager that influenced HPB greatly, and it was during her studies here that she first began to experience her inner contacts with the Mahatmas, who we know as Francis, Anthony and the person who later became her personal teacher Morya, or Dr. John Dee.

It was not by chance, but the fate of family relations that they were introduced to her.

It was also Alexander Vladimirovich Golitsyn, a Russian Freemason and descendant of "Prince Valiant" who encourage her work and introduced her to the Universal Mercury of astral traveling.  He was a member of the very powerful Golitsyn family, which is one of the largest and most princely of the noble houses of Russia.

The Golitsyn family originated in the Duchy of Lithuania through prince George, son of Patrikas and grandson of Narimantas. It was through these connections the HPB developed the skills for scrying and traveling out of the body and where she developed her contact with the Mahatmas using the methods practiced in the early Masonic rites as taught by Dr. John Dee.

This original Rosicrucian Fraternity was a Puritanical plan that goes back to the R&C founded by Sir Francis Bacon, Anthony Bacon and Dr. John Dee, having fraternal roots in the College Emmanuel in Cambridge, as written into the teaching of the Rosicrucians in the 16th and 17 centuries. They are also those referred to as the Asiatic Brethren, having lived for many years in the East as well. They traveled via the trade routes established by the East India Company going back to the times of Anthony and Francis, and the writing of the Shakespeare plays.

They were involved in the earliest translations of Telugu and Sanskrit writings into Latin texts in Tamil Nadu. It was there they were acquainted with the Siddhar Saints, their practices and their alchemy.

They, as the R&C, were referred to as the Brahmins of the North, as the noble class of philosophers and kings or Melchizedeks. You see this correlation as well in the writing of the prophecy of Sendivogius.  You can understand this also in the subtle messages written into the writings of Eugenius Philalethes or Thomas Vaughan.

These three founders are the Theosophical Mahatmas but they are also the so called Secret Chiefs of Freemasonry and the True Rosicrucians. There were many other institutions, in the outer, set up in parallel around the world, founded in other nations and cultures, and bearing established roots in other languages. 

These were the same persons preparing the way for the Golden Age of Mankind. They had the Philosophers Stone, and they were, as Sendivogius claimed, to have lived and breathed awakening to stand face to face in the presence of God every day. 

They are among those, as stated in Book of Hebrews, the one’s called the Just Men Made Perfect, and they are among those hidden, not from, but within society who are still, even now, living century after century; working incessantly to prepare the way for the Golden Age of Man. There is a trail left behind, in the form of monuments that are everything from simple to elaborate, not unlike the Two Brother’s Rocks that symbolize the Stone in their lives in the form of two large stones.

A prophetic passage of the order’s future purpose, which we will get to coming up, is from Zanoni by Bulwer Lytton and is a statement attributed to Mejnour. It was a flashback insertion.

Michael Sendivogius as well predicted it in the book Novum Lumen Chymicum (New Chemical Light), which is something of a supplement to the Novum Organon of Francis Bacon, or The New Organon or True Directions Concerning the Interpretations of Nature. Here it is written in Zanoni and it is stated plainly. 

"And can I forego this lofty and august hope, worthy alone of our high condition—the hope to form a mighty and numerous race with a force and power sufficient to permit them to acknowledge to mankind their majestic conquests and dominion, to become the true lords of this planet, invaders, perchance, of others, masters of the inimical and malignant tribes [of Israel or the generations of Man] by which at this moment we are surrounded:

"a race that may proceed, in their deathless destinies, from stage to stage of celestial glory, and rank at last amongst the nearest ministrants and agents gathered round the Throne of Thrones?

Those of whom I speak, I believe are still living. Many foolish books have been written by many silly authors going back even to those who struggled in the founding of Theosophy. These are very, very practical and intelligent ageless men educated in all languages and philosophy, science, law and the principles of governing.  They have lived within the folds of every society and studied every religious philosophy to its founding.

But, to continue, we have collected the usual historical introductions which follow this and you may or may not choose to accept what I say on this topic so feel free to move on. We have also added images from works printed in the nineteenth century and updated these drawings in repainted forms, along with some new images that I’ve created in the initiatic writings, called the Initiation of Glyndon Series, and also my published and unpublished works from the Akshaya Patra Series and the unpublished Baconian works that are being written.

To speak clearly on the subject is difficult. It is not commonly understood or the accepted knowledge.  After the death of Sai Baba I have decided to open up with this. This was his encouragement and much of this has come from his guidance as well.  You may think that I am the author of so much of this, but these are words that come of their own accord. I simply record for the most part, what is heard intuitively. There are issues in some cases; limited to account for a story.  But it is clear that this story originally came from historical references and intelligence works. The original ciphering would be understandable, considering the background of those involved, as well there is the fact that it would have been, in the original, more poetic, considering its authors, prior to modification into prose and story by Bulwer-Lytton.

Most secrets are not meant for common knowledge. There is always a private truth and a public lie behind recorded facts whenever and wherever power, politics, religion and academics thrive. The Baconian story has deep roots that predate modern British Intelligence work. It may equally be considered the true root of what has become in America the CIA founded on the principles of British Intelligence practices.

These persons who have their true founding there at Gorhambury provided the model for this tale. They were the true Rosicrucians.  They were the true Sons of the Widow (Anne Bacon). They were personally known to Bulwer-Lytton in the nineteenth century, and they were in fact very real people, who just happened to be still living, liberated from death and in the constant awareness of God and directors of the purposes for which to found the resources and developments for achieving the Golden Age of Man.

If they had not been active in the lives of those members founding the outer societies and organizations, there would have been no validity for ever having used the name Rosicrucian.  Francis Bacon was the Red Rose placed upon the cross and the true founding authority for instituting such a society. He, being the true Wandering King of Aragon. Even the Philosopher’s Stone, has no effect on him (as stated clearly in the writings of Eirenaeus Philalethes.) These are the future kings to appear in the Golden Age of Man.  This was the prophecy of Michael Sendivogius.

It was well known that Bulwer-Lytton was connected with the original (not the fabrications founded in history who have assumed the name falsely or been inspired by some form of inheritance.)

I will say clearly that the true R&C originated in England and it was Puritan and has its roots in Cambridge University, as equally it did at the offices first held at the Knights of St. John in Jerusalem, Canonbury Tower and Gorhambury. These true Rosicrucian founders were known as the "Long-Livers" in Freemasonry at its founding of the outer society of Freemasonry at the Grand Lodge in London in 1717, when Freemasonry became a moral society. Freemasonry originated in the group called the Order of the Helmet formed by Francis Bacon, whose members were among his prince favorites. That was founded in 1578 when Francis Bacon was eighteen. The circle known as Rosicrucian arose within that after the death of the Earl of Essex.  It was an Intelligence network supporting many social and philosophical purposes.  Its inner group was very secret and run by Anthony Bacon (A.J. or Anthony who became John.  Anthony was assumed dead having changed his social identity.)

Freemasonry was from its founding in England drawn together within an intelligence network founded by the illegitimate sons of Queen Elizabeth (Francis Bacon and Robert Devereux), Anthony Bacon, and Sir Francis Walsingham.  It had deep roots in families that were originally Templar, Cathar and Gnostic.  They were the pure ones or Puritans.  They swore an oath to their legitimate prince and later king, Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon and Robert Devereux were not illegitimate in fact, but rather by a royal decree. Robert Dudley (the Earl of Leicester), and Elizabeth Tudor did marry informally. But as for monarchy, these were made illegitimate in the
