Carmel Niland - Our Spiritual DNA: Twelve Ascended Masters and the Evidence for Our Divine Ancestry

OUR SPIRITUAL DNA

This book is fabulous, a real fount of knowledge. Through the medium of channeling, it reaches into the depths of history and reveals the links that powerful souls have with each other and their many incarnations on Earth and in other realms. It provides a direct link from the Ascended Masters to early humans and all the way back to God. Its aim is to show you how you may be linked to each other, to them, and, ultimately, to God.

Our Spiritual DNA is a veritable Whos Who of the esoteric world, listing the major characters who have defined the caliber of our spiritual lives in the Western world over the past 6,000 years. At the core of the book is a depiction of the Council of White Light and as you leap the divide between history and myth in order to find the face of the Divine, to know the unknowable, you will encounter the great wonder of St. Germain, our contemporary Christos. Little of any substance has been written about this extraordinary Master for some time, and yet now is the time as we center our lives in the nature of the Aquarian Age. This book is particularly welcome and will inform the esoteric student of the Masters lineage and how his odyssey is always present to define the true nature of love. In awe you will find St. Germain with the eleven other Ascended Masters, evoking dreams within you that are way beyond your current imagination!

INTRODUCTION

Mystery. Magic. Quests. Buried treasure. Do you remember the childhood delight in solving puzzles, asking questions, searching for answers, and gazing with wonder at the night sky?

Todays scientists are beginning to unravel many of the mysteries and codes behind the physical world, making it easier for us to understand. We know, for example, that all humans possess DNA, the genetic code that makes us each an individual. Our spiritual world, on the other hand, remains mostly incomprehensible.

This book asks these questions: Is it possible for our spiritual life to have the certitudes of chemistry and physics? If we have physical DNA, can we also have spiritual DNA? Does God have a genealogy with direct descendants on Earth?

I didnt set out to answer these questions, but they were the constant white noise in my life. As I tried to discover who I was, I became increasingly fascinated with who everyone else was. Before long, I found myself on a quest to discover the true identity of an 18th-century diplomat and magician called Comte de St. Germain, a man who was long hidden in the shadows of the occult tradition and with whom I had become completely captivated. What began as a fascination with this alchemist became a search for buried treasure and an accidental discovery of the genealogy of God.

In other words, I believe I found the line to God.

As I began to learn about St. Germain, I became increasingly interested in what I saw as curious links and connections among significant historical figures. Great circles of illuminated beings began to captivate me, especially when contrasted with the darker circles of light who opposed them Churchill and Roosevelt, who opposed Stalin and Hitler; Sir Thomas More, who opposed King Henry VIII.

I found myself asking, why do we have golden ages of enlightenment like those during the reign of Queen Elizabeth surrounded by Shakespeare, Marlow, Spenser, Raleigh, Drake, and Bacon? Or Lorenzo De Medici, whose contemporaries were Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli, and Botticelli? What created the unfettered imagination of the Romantic era with Wordsworth, Keats, Byron, and Shelley? What mysterious forces were at hand in bringing together the visionary Washington, Adams, Franklin, Paine, Hamilton, and Jefferson to found the United States of America? Or the spiritual awakening in Asia, with the lives of Buddha, Lao Tzu, and Confucius, all of whom were born within 50 years of one another?

Could it be an accident that people of such genius bloomed simultaneously in magnificent bursts of creative energy? Or was it by design, part of a larger plan, a plan with elegance and complexitya Divine Plan? What was it, and why did evil have to fit into it? Why are people born so different, some with towering intellects and creative gifts while others are born into lives where death extinguishes them almost before they begin?

There was nothing new in any of my questions or my search. The command of the Delphic oracle Know Thyself is a universal theme. It is said that characters who act out the human quest for self-knowledge, such as Hamlet or Faust, have sooner or later dealings with angels, demons, and spirits. I was not going to be an exception.

Mysticism intrigued me. As a Catholic, that most supernatural and mystic of faiths, I was well versed in miracles, mysteries, and prophetic teachings as well as the prophets, who were able to have a direct experience of God, and others who were said to communicate with angels like Isaiah or saints like Theresa of Avila. Through their experiences, they provided me with fresh insights into the human dilemma. Why not ask them or other historical characters directly for firsthand accounts of what happened to them? Surely after their deaths, they would have all the answers.

The question was, how?

I first heard of channeling when I read Shirley MacLaines 1986 book Dancing in the Light. It seemed to be a new name for the process by which prophets and saints were given insights and revelations during meditations or through their dreams. It appeared to be a way to stretch through time to gain answers and unlock historys secrets. So I set out to find someone in Sydney, Australia, who could not only channel but channel beings who could answer my questions.

And I found them. In this book, all names of channelers have been changed to protect their privacy.

My First Meeting with St. Germain

On a Sunday night, in a late Sydney summer, when the currawongs whistled to one another well after dark and the cicadas drummed hard, I sat waiting for Peter Abraham,* who I hoped would channel St. Germain. According to history books, Le Comte de St. Germain was a count in revolutionary France who lived from 1691 to 1712. Here was someone with an intriguing resume: adventurer, explorer, philosopher, scientist, alchemist, and magician. He was said to be extraordinarily intelligent, articulate, and widely published. He appeared to live many lives in one lifetime, and I was soon to discover that he had lived many lifetimes on Earth, too. St. Germain should be a man who had answers to my questions if Peter Abraham could channel him.

Of course, I was well prepared should he show up. I brought everything I thought I needed, including a list of questions, a tape recorder, a notebook, pens, and spare batteries.

The birds and the barking dogs settled. Peter, together with friends, led an invocation, followed by a guided meditation and prayers to open a sacred space to allow beings of great power to come through and enter his body.

First, a group of angels cleared the room, then a host of beings entered with both familiar and strange names: Master Kuthumi with Lady Portia, El Morya and Pallas Athene, Master Hilarion with Lady Nada, Djwhal Khul and Lady Leto, and Serapis Bey and Lakshmi. They would speak through Peter or his friend Michaela Clinton and guide others in the room. Their presence and their movement around the room were vividly described by Peter and by others who could see their unseen presence. St. Germain, however, was not among them.
