Lifetimes of the Ascended Masters – The Prophet Samuel
The ascended masters are souls who have learned all of their lessons on earth and no longer need to take incarnation among men. A study of their earlier lifetimes can help us to understand the qualities that they developed in order to make their ascension. The ascended master St. Germain was once embodied as the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament.
Samuel’s mother Hannah was grieved because she had been married for years and still had no children. When Hannah went to the temple to make sacrifices and pray, she begged God to allow her to have children. A priest named Eli assured her that God had heard her prayers. A year later Hannah gave birth to Samuel. When he was a young child, Hannah brought Samuel to the priest Eli to serve with him in the temple in gratitude for God’s blessing. Hannah later had three more sons and two daughters.
When Samuel had become an adult, God called him to be a prophet for Israel. Samuel traveled throughout Israel, urging the various tribes to work together and to cease worshipping idols. The tribes were often under attack from other nations and needed to work together for their own mutual protection.
Samuel eventually married and became a wealthy man with a flourishing household. Samuel was urged to appoint a single national leader for Israel. Samuel crowned Saul king of Israel. Unfortunately, Saul was not obedient to Samuel’s wishes once he became king. As a result, Samuel secretly anointed David. The resulting conflict between Saul and David continued for the remainder of Samuel’s life. Samuel’s appointment of David as king began the biblical monarchy of the House of David.
As an ascended master, St. Germain is a prophet who warns of impeding danger. The ascended master St. Germain is also the master of the seventh ray. This means that he has mastered the spiritual quality of forgiveness and the power of alchemy. He teaches divine alchemy and the working of miracles.
