His name isBulwark wrote:There was a man who spoke 8 different languages and could converse in 3 more. Let's see, that would be 11. This man was ambidextrous and could write two letters, one with the right and one with the left and they could both be totally different. He was reputed to have helped the fabled Rosencreuz, Fratres Lucis, and with the "Knights and Brothers of Asia" who studied Rosicrucian and Hermetic science and made the "philosopher's stone" one of the objects of their research.
THE COUNT DE ST. GERMAIN
ONE of the most mysterious characters in modern history is the famous Count de St. Germain, described by his friend Prince Karl von Hesse as "one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived, the friend of humanity, whose heart was concerned only with the happiness of others." Intimate and counselor of Kings and Princes, nemesis of deceptive ministers, Rosicrucian, Mason, accredited Messenger of the Masters of Wisdom -- the Count de St. Germain worked in Europe for more than a century, faithfully performing the difficult task which had been entrusted to him.

Lived from 1710 to 1822 -- 112 years !? But get this:
"During the 112 years that he is said to have lived in Europe, he always presented the appearance of a man about forty-five years of age."
If we're going to spend a lot of time talking about him, somebody start a new thread under "General Discussion," OK?
