Mémoire sur la découverte du Magnétisme animal
1779, Frédéric-Antoine Mesmer
The name MESMER has been known worldwide since the 18th century, mainly due to the research he published on healing through magnetism.
I wanted to make available here a color scan of the original version in old French from 1779. It is a bit difficult to read, but personally, I love the charm of old books. For those who would prefer, a modernized French text version of this work is available here: Wikisource.org.
Unfortunately, Mesmer’s name is often associated with the charlatans of that era, and that is why I wanted to emphasize here that this immortal being is a great Master of the White Lodge who, in the 17th century, before bearing the name Mesmer, bore the name Count of Cagliostro. What follows are passages where Master Judas Iscariot as well as Master Samael Aun Weor speak about the great enigmatic being.
Excerpt from the book “The Flight of the Feathered Serpent”
A. Cosani — What is it that we ignore?
V.M. Judas Iscariot — A very simple fact that is really a physical truth but that you all believe to be just an ethical rule, impossible to put into practice. Surely, you have read it or heard it sometime: “Do not resist evil.”
All these precepts were given to the world by authentic wise men. Only a handful of beings in the history of humanity have been able to discover that they are in fact scientific truths. Certainly, ordinary science will deny this because it believes that ethics are something separate from what it calls matter, without noticing that it is precisely what conditions and enlivens matter and even creates its forms. A long time ago, there was a true wise man amongst men of science called Mesmer. Science, or that which they call science, persecuted him and all his work has been ignored. This is the destiny of those who discover the truth. Today mesmerism is like a form of charlatanism. And the curious thing is that it is precisely the charlatans of science who rattle on against Mesmer’s charlatanism. Those few who have studied Mesmer in order to carry out magnetic healing have come closer to the truth that he left hidden in his aphorisms. But only a few, very few, have noticed that which is yes can also be no. That yes is a relative truth to no, just as good is relative to bad. But you will have the opportunity to know this because at last you have asked me something worthwhile.
Excerpt from the book “Message of Aquarius”
by V.M. Samael Aun Weor
Another marvellous personage was the powerful and enigmatic Count Cagliostro. This man of undescribable age is a true Master who has the elixir of longevity.
No one can attain this elixir without having worked with the Arcanum A.Z.F.
Cagliostro swallowed soil within his sepulchre and escaped from his sepulchre fossa due to the fact that he had received the elixir of longevity.
Cagliostro practised sexual magic intensely.
Cagliostro was a disciple of Count Saint Germain. Cagliostro was an alchemist, he transmuted the lead into gold and made genuine diamonds. This Master was known in the distinct places of the world, under different names in different countries.
He was known with the following names: Tis-chio, Milissa, Belonte, D’anna, Fenix, Pellegrini, Balsamo, Mesmer, Harut and Cagliostro. This famous historical lineage was recorded by Alexander Dumas in his work entitled, “The Queens Necklace.” Ragon commits the crime of slandering the Great Copto.
Eliphas Levi also slanders the Count Cagliostro by accusing him of being a Black Magician. The Great Copto lived with the famous Schrader of Germany, and in England with the illustrious theosophist George Coston.
Cagliostro saved the life of the Cardinal Archbishop of Rohan with the science of the Philosophical Stone.
The Baroness of Oberkirch said the following of the Great Copto:
“He was not absolutely beautiful but I never saw such equalled features. His sight, more than profound, was supernatural.
The expression of his eyes was undescribable, with an equal quality of fire and ice, together influencing in an irresistible way, sometimes attracting, sometimes repelling.“
Cagliostro had many Alchemist disciples in Strasbourg. He was judged and persecuted by the Inquisition, sent into the bastille and later into the fortress of Leone. The Inquisition condemned him to death, but the enigmatic and powerful Count Cagliostro mys teriously disappeared from the prison.
Death could not do anything to Cagliostro. Cagliostro is still alive with the same physical body because when a Master has swallowed soil within his sepulchre, he is Lord of the living and of the dead.
