The mother of John the Baptist, and the wife of Zechariah the priest. She is a descendant of Aaron. Elizabeth had been barren for many years, but God performed a miracle and she conceived a child.
It was Elizabeth who brought the Holy Spirit back to The Children of God. I have seen John’s mother named, Elizabeth-Mary. I believe she began to bless the Brides of Israel – before her son was born – and after John began to Baptize at an early age. When barren women came out of the water, she lay her hand on their closed wombs – and they were opened. The Holy Spirit entered the wombs of women who took the Vow of the Nazarite.

The Ark upon the mountain
The Dove and Branch upon the sea
The hammers of iniquity
beat upon my forgotten tomb
I am awake upon the turbulant waters
My enemies cast lots
and blame me for their sins
while God’s friends
read me on the Day of Atonement
so all will be saved
so all will be united in peace
The sun went down on me
so long ago
The vine that grew over my head
has wilted in the desert of forgetfulness
But, there on a mountian
a purple haze
a rosy afterglow
in a King’s rosegarden atop a mount
that bid noble knights to climb hither
that beckon knights to sever a thread
and once again
be brave

A New Major Religion
Posted on November 18, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
A new religion is called for. Satan has sent his She-demons of Jezebel to destroy me. They failed! While the She-Devils of The Great Pussy-Grabber have been playing devious games with our Democratic Voting Machines, God has made it – right!
“Two of the key groups that helped elect Donald J. Trump in 2016 were white women and evangelicals. Now, in the midterm elections, white women are turning away from the president and his party, while evangelicals are sticking with him. We look at what happens when you’re both.
I alone, after 2,000 years of failed men of God, was shown by God that the naming of John the Baptist was about the brisk. John revealed that he was the second coming of Elijah! It was John’s mother Elizabeth-Mary, that sang Zachariah’s song. With this song, The Truth is reborn! John prepared the way for the return of God on the Jubilee. Jesus is not God. John’s mother was the embodiment of Hannah, the mother of the prophet, Samuel, the Nazarite. Nazarite Women played a major role in the Second Coming of Elijah. This is why Jesus says;
“Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”
This is written after John’s death – and Jesus’ death! The true words are…….
“In the new kingdom of heaven the least will be greater than he.”
John prepared THE WAY for the New Earth and Heaven! His church was called THE WAY……………..THE RADIO WAY.

Dreamer Jon ‘The Nazarite’
It is customary among Ashkenazic Jews to name a child after a recently deceased relative. This custom comes partly from a desire to honor the dead relative, and partly from superstition against naming a child after a living relative. It is almost unheard of for an Ashkenazic Jew to be named after his own father, though it does occasionally happen. Among Sephardic Jews, it is not unusual to name a child after a parent or living relative.
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/5636-elijah-s-chair
“That being said, sometimes Herbert W. Armstrong did think that he may have fulfilled the Elijah role, but he told the late Dibar Apartian (who told me) that he was NOT the Elijah. Furthermore, essentially on his deathbed, Herbert W. Armstrong admitted to his closest aid, Aaron Dean (who told me this multiple times) that there could be an Elijah to come after he died (see also The Elijah Heresies).
This combined with what Herbert W. Armstrong wrote in The Mystery of the Ages and the length of time since his death demonstrates that Herbert W. Armstrong could not biblically be the final prophesied Elijah.
Various ones think that John the Baptist was the prophesied final Elijah and no other was to come (see The Elijah Heresies).
While it is true that John the Baptist was a fulfillment of some of the Elijah prophecies (see Matthew 11:14) and he came “in the spirit and power of Elijah” (Luke 1:17), Jesus taught more on this subject:
“Along with doctrinal matters, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong’s status as an apostle has been called into question. It is a good and proper question. His title of apostle is a fact most have accepted as easily as the other categories of ministers such as prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher as given in Ephesians 4:11. He frequently referred to himself in both sermons and writings as Christ’s apostle. Was this a false claim of a man trying to exert his authority? Or is there a biblical basis to validate his claim?”
With this background we can now consider Mr. Armstrong. He was ordained from the very beginning as an apostle by the Church of God, Seventh Day, Oregon Conference. One might argue that this was only because they ordained every minister as an apostle. Yes, but who else in the twentieth century did what he did in preaching the true gospel of the Kingdom of God around the world?
Three Songs of the Great Reversal
Posted on February 19, 2012by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is the song the father of John the Baptist allegedly sang. It is similar to Hannah’s song who took the vow of the Nazarite, as did her son, Samuel the Nazarite. John was a Nazarite for life. Even while in his mother’s womb, he was filled with the Holy Spirit. John did not prepare the WAY for Jesus, but the “WAYS” of the Lord.“And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:”
Mary’s song is titled a reversal. The Catholic church has juggled with these chidren and the truth – even while these babes were in their mother’s wombs! I have found a lineage of Nazarite women that includes Mary’s mother, Anna, that is the same as Hannah! Both women were Nazarites.
The Great Reversal of the Nazarites has arrived! Drink no wine as blood. Do not get near a dead body, or eat of dead flesh in a symbolic way. Repent!
Jon the Nazarite
nuke 1:46-55
New International Version (NIV)
Mary’s Song
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
Hannah praises Yahweh, reflects on the reversals he accomplishes, and looks forward to his king.
Verses 4-5 contains three reversals. Stanley D. Walters notes that one is a “reversal of macho male prowess”, one a “reversal of female longing” and one is “gender-neutral and universal”.[1]
There is a movement in this song from the particular to the general. It opens with Hannah’s own gratitude for a local reversal, and closes with God’s defeat of his enemies – a cosmic reversal.[2]
Through the theme of reversal, the Song of Hannah functions as an introduction to the whole book. Keil and Delitzsch argue that Hannah’s experience of reversal was a pledge of how God “would also lift up and glorify his whole nation, which was at that time so deeply bowed down and oppressed by its foes.”[3]
The reference to a king in verse 10 has provoked considerable discussion. A. F. Kirkpatrick argues that this does not imply a late date for the song, since “the idea of a king was not altogether novel to the Israelite mind” and “amid the prevalent anarchy and growing disintegration of the nation, amid internal corruption and external attack, the desire for a king was probably taking definite shape in the popular mind.”[4]
Walter Brueggemann suggests that the Song of Hannah paves the way for a major theme of the Book of Samuel, the “power and willingness of Yahweh to intrude, intervene and invert.”[5]
Hannah’s Song – 1 Samuel 2
And Hannah prayed, saying…
Triumphant my heart in Yahweh!
A high place my horn in Yahweh!
Wide is my mouth over my enemies,
for I delight in your deliverance.
None holy beside Yahweh!
For there is none except you,
and no Rock like our God!
Stop making much of your speech of pride, pride
goes out loose from your mouth,
for El of knowledge is Yahweh
and it is he who reckons every deed.
The bow of the valiant is shattered,
but the feeble are prepared to be strong.
Those who have feasted, in bread will be paid,
while those who have hungered – no longer!
She who was barren has now borne seven,
while the mother of many dwindles.
Yahweh brings about death and life,
casts to She’ol and lifts up.
Yahweh brings about poverty and wealth,
makes low and lifts high.
He raises from the dust the weak,
from the ash-heap lifts the poor
to seat them with nobles
and a throne of glory grant.
For Yahweh’s are the foundations of the earth,
and he orders upon them the world of men.
The footsteps of his devoted he watches,
but the wicked in darkness are silenced –
for not by power grows mighty a man.
Yahweh shatters his contenders –
against them from the heavens he thunders!
Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth
giving might to his king,
lifting high the horn of his anointed.
The Benedictus (also Song of Zechariah or Canticle of Zachary), given in Gospel of Luke 1:68-79, is one of the three canticles[1] in the opening chapters of this Gospel. The Benedictus was the song of thanksgiving uttered by Zechariah on the occasion of the birth of his son, John the Baptist.
The Carmelites of Rougemont
Posted on January 12, 2012by Royal Rosamond Press
The Order of Saint George de Rougemont held services and rituals with the Carmelites at Rougemont Chateau. Above we see the cote of arms for the Carmelites Rougemont with red mountain. There is a brown mountain with three stars in the Carmelites arms. Is this Rougemont – red mountain?Jon Presco
Carmelite tradition traces the origin of the order to a community of hermits on Mount Carmel that succeeded the schools of the prophets in ancient Israel, although there are no certain records of hermits on this mountain before the 1190s. By this date a group of men had gathered at the well of Elijah on Mount Carmel. These men, who had gone to Palestine from Europe either as pilgrims or as crusaders, chose Mount Carmel in part because it was the traditional home of Elijah. The foundation was believed to have been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The conventual buildings were destroyed several times, but a monastery of Discalced Carmelite friars was built close to the original site under the auspices of Fr. Julius of the Saviour and duly consecrated on 12 June 1836.
The charism, or spiritual focus, of the Carmelite Order is contemplative prayer. The Order is considered by the Church to be under the special protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary and thus has a strong Marian devotion.
A Marian devotion is a gift (total or partial) of oneself, or one’s activities to the Virgin Mary. It is a willingness and desire to dedicate oneself to, or venerate her; either in terms of prayers or in terms of a set of pious acts. Such prayers or acts may be accompanied by specific requests for Mary’s intercession to God.[1][2][3][4]
A wide range of Marian devotions exist, ranging from multi-day prayers such as Novenas among Catholics, the veneration of icons in the Eastern Christianity or activities which do not involve any prayers, such as the wearing of scapulars or even maintaining a Mary garden.[5][6]
A Mary Garden is a small sacred garden enclosing a statute or shrine of the Virgin Mary, who is known to many Christians as the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady, or the Mother of God.[1] In Christian tradition, Mary is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ. Mary gardens are most common to those Christian denominations which hold the Virgin Mary in special esteem, particularly Roman Catholics and Anglicans.
The practice originated among monasteries and convents in medieval Europe. The first such garden open to the public in the United States was founded in 1932 at St. Joseph’s Church, Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The statute of Mary, sometimes holding the Infant Christ, is central to the garden. Select flowers, shrubs, and trees associated with the legends around Mary are planted in the garden. Such plants may include laurel trees, strawberries, ladyslippers, lilies of the valley, peonies, violets, irises and roses, all of which are identified as symbolic and significant in the story of Mary as recounted in the Bible and other Christian stories. Gardens may have benches and a facility for lighting votive candles.
Elijah and the Brother-Sisterhood of Rougemont
Posted on June 18, 2015 by Royal Rosamond Press
So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.”
As for being the “Elijah to come,” Herbert Armstrong may have fulfilled some of Elijah’s roles (Malachi 3:1-3; 4:5-6), but as time goes on, it seems he did not completely fulfill the type. In fact, Jesus in Matthew 17:10-13 shows that John the Baptist fulfilled the type. If this type is dual, another “Elijah” will arise before Christ’s second coming to prepare the way for His return and the establishment of the Kingdom of God.
Thibault de Rougemont established the Carmelite Order at Vienna. Several archbishops of Besancon were de Rougemonts, and many were their direct kin. Here is the ritual of the Brotherhood that they say existed 900 years before Jesus was born. The Rougemonts were Knights Templar, owners of the Shroud of Turin, and founders of the Order of Saint George de Rougemont. The Carmelites founded a priory on Mount Carmel where Elijah conducted cosmic warfare with the prophets of Baal, not unlike the battle depicted during the End of Days that Armstrong predicted would come with the End Time Elijah. Am I he, a descendent of the Rougemont family?
My sisters saw a blue angel in their room when they were ten and six. Members of my family who were sisters of Franciscan Order, also had visions. One of them founded Briarcliff College. Godeschalk Rosemondt was the Master of Leuven university.
Jon ‘The Nazarite’
In the 15th century the civil administration of the town of Leuven, with the support of John IV, Duke of Brabant,[12] a prince of the House of Valois, made a formal request to the Holy See for a university.[13]
Pope Martin V issued a papal bull dated 9 December 1425 founding the University in Leuven as a Studium Generale. This university was institutionally independent of the local ecclesiastical hierarchy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_University_of_Leuven
“Before Mr. Armstrong came on the scene in the late 1920’s, Christ’s true WAY had been all but lost. The Sardis Church was holding on to only three fundamental truths of all the truth that the first century Church had. The Church was dying. It needed RESTORING.
Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong was used in the end time to fulfill many prophetic scriptures. How do we know this? We now can look back at the recent HISTORY of God’s Church and see that the PROOF is in the FRUITS! It’s all right there as documented history. And many or most of us have lived to witness these things. So there is irrefutable proof that Mr. Armstrong fulfilled the Elijah role, as well as several other offices or “types” as an end-time fulfillment.”
The Equestrian College of Knights and Ladies
Posted on June 17, 2015 by Royal Rosamond Press
In March of 2006 I suggested my daughter baptize my grandson at the Carmelite monastery in Oakville near Napa. I included the ancient ritual of the Carmelites and the Order of Saint George of Rougemont. Because I believe the Nazarite Holy Spirit of Saint John the Baptist ‘The Returned Elijah’ is directing me to restore the Vision of Herbert Armstrong who founded Ambassador College, I am taking steps to found The Equestrian College of Knights and Ladies. Because many young people seek a Higher Law of Chivalry that promotes Western History and Creative Cultural Activities, this institute will turn out a new generation of scholars who will be able to meet the growing ignorance in the world that is spreading a barbaric intolerance like the world has never seen.
How to combat radical groups who employ the internet, will be a focus, as well as creating webpages. The Crusades will be studied. A think tank can produce political advisors. Napa and the surrounding area are known for raising horses. Learning to ride will develop a connection with our revered past.
Here is the entrance to the Falcon Art College, and rectors parading past the Pope’s College for poor students. Also, is the oldest surviving Dutch painting of three generation of the Roover family who married into the Rosemondt family, and were Swan Brethren as well. That is Saint George leading them before Our Fair Lady.
Herbert Armstrong established the Ambassador College in order to preserve and promote Western Culture. In this respect he was a Protestant Pope. The Hulett Merrit mansion was the first home of this college. Amazingly, it looks like the home of the Carmelites that may be closed due to the severe damage it suffered during an earthquake. A means to solicit funds for repairs has not yet been established. What a tragedy.
My ancestor, Godschalk Rosemondt, was the Master of Louvain and the Falcon Art College, as well as member of the Swan Brethren.
A Rosamond family researcher has seen letters exchanged between Godschalk Rosemondt and the great Erasmus with the seal of a dancing wolf upon them. This is a Bosch seal related somehow to the Janskirk church where attended members of the Swan Brethren. The Renaissance artist, Hieronymus Bosch, executed commissions for the Brethren and their church. One such work is titled the Seven Deadly Sins which is the subject matter of Rosemondt’s book ‘Confessionals’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieronymus_Bosch
Rosemondt’s good friend, Pope Adrien, has been anointed the Vicar of Christ. Before that he led the Inquisition in Holland. He was the tutor of Charles Quint whose cote of arms in seen next to Rosemondt’s Rose Name, that looks very much like the rose emblem of the Swan Brethren that today, only Holland’s royal family is allowed to wear.
My sisters saw a blue angel in their room when they were ten and six. Members of my family who were sisters of Franciscan Order, also had visions. One of them founded Briarcliff College.

The Sisterhood of Rougemont
Dear Daughter;
Thibaut and Humbert de Rougement were Bishops of Besancon and the ancestors of Guillaume de Vienne who co-founded the Order of Saint- George ‘Brotherhood of Rougemont’ that was taken over by the wrong people during the Reformation. The Rougemonts fled to England and Canada, where as members of the Canadian Parliament, they admitted members into the Loyal Orange Order. Bennett Rosamond was a master of the LOL.
Was there a ‘Sisterhood of Rougemont’? Jacquotte de Rougemont is listed as a member of the Brotherhood and she is the sister of Thibaut who was the Archbishop of Besancon, and the Chief, or, President of the Brotherhood of Rougemont.
The Hulett C. Merritt mansion, also called the “Villa Merritt Ollivier”, is a historical structure in Pasadena, California. It was featured in the opening scenes of The Millionaire, a popular TV series of the 1950s. Merritt’s fortune was made largely in the railway and steel industries.[1]

The Noble Order of Saint George of Rougemont was a baronial order of chivalry established around 1440 in the Free County of Burgundy. From the 15th through the late 18th centuries it enjoyed the protection of the Dukes of Burgundy and later the French kings, but it was abolished in the wake of the French Revolution and became extinct after the death of the last knight in 1869.
The order has been revived at least twice in the 20th and 21st centuries, and a confraternity under the name now exists with members in France, Germany, Japan and other countries.

The three-story mansion was eventually yellow-tagged by inspectors. An adjacent chapel was not damaged and remains usable, along with other smaller outbuildings. Selected events may go on at the property, but they cancelled all retreats through the end of the year. “For much of what we did, we are not able to do it on site,” he said.
Werner said that before the quake, the Carmelites were already discussing the long-term viability of the main house. “The earthquake hastened the conversation,” he said. Today, he’s not sure how they will pay for the repairs to the property.
“We’re going to have to decide whether we can stay here or not,” he said. “We’ve been here since 1955.” To leave the property and find a replacement home for the monastery would be difficult, he said.
The nonprofit organization has received some donations to start repairs. The group was even able to hold a yearly benefit dinner scheduled for early September which was “quite successful,” he said.
However, the order hasn’t started a full-on fundraising campaign to fully restore the property, Werner said. “Two questions we haven’t answered – will we stay here, and if we do, what do we want to do with the property and the buildings?” Until the structural and other evaluations and assessments are completed, “I’m trying to take things one step at a time. There are a lot of things we don’t have answers to,” yet.
Ambassador College (1947—1997) was a four-year, liberal arts college run by the Worldwide Church of God. The college was established in 1947 in Pasadena, California by radio evangelist Herbert W. Armstrong, leader of what was then the Radio Church of God, later renamed the Worldwide Church of God. The college was approved by the State of California to grant degrees.
In 1960 a second campus was opened at Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, England, and in 1964 a third campus was opened in Big Sandy, Texas. At the time Ambassador closed for financial reasons in May 1997 it had operated for 50 years and had become regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The motto of the college was Recapturing True Values. Although most students of the college were associated with the church, it was not a strict requirement. Nonetheless, the students and faculty were primarily those with church affiliation.
Throughout most of its history, Ambassador operated under state approval or its international equivalent. Regional accreditation was not sought, primarily because it required that the college have a functioning board that was separate and distinct from the church’s administration.[1] Armstrong resisted this requirement, apparently concerned that such a separation would result in the truth of God, as he believed and taught it to be, being watered down at an Ambassador that would become increasingly secular. He held this opinion despite the fact that numerous accredited colleges and universities around the country were operated by the Catholic Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other Christian denominations, without those organizations being required to alter church teachings.
Aside from being the identified sponsor of The World Tomorrow radio broadcast for a time (although the costs for the broadcast were paid by the church), the college in Pasadena became locally well known for its Ambassador Auditorium worship and concert venue, which for 20 years was host to many renowned artists from classical music to jazz. The concert series closed in 1995. The auditorium was largely unused for a decade until a portion of the Ambassador campus was sold to interdenominational Maranatha High School and a smaller portion, including the auditorium, to HRock Church.
The Bricket Wood campus operated for 14 years at Hanstead House, a few miles north of London. The estate had belonged to Annie Henrietta Yule and her daughter Gladys, who used it for their Arabian horse breeding farm, the Hanstead Stud. The college operated in the house and grounds for fourteen years. Leading administrators on the campus
The campus is now the site of the International Alert Academy (Air Land Emergency Resource Team), and was used to accommodate refugees from Hurricane Katrina in the fall of 2005. The campus golf course, renamed Embassy Hills Golf Course, is now open to the public.

ORIGINS AND BASES Of the ORDER The noble Brotherhood of Saint-Georges
was created in 1390 by two gentlemen frank-comtois, tohonour the
relics of Mégalomartyr, brought back Holy Land. Philibertde Mollans,
rider of the duke of Burgundy, was ankle worker; itssecond, Jehan d’
Andelot, were the son of Jean, lord d’ Andelot-lès-Sallins, and of
Marie d’ Usier, injury of Vaudrey and Rougemont,where the precursors
resided and where was held the annual chapter.When, January 10, 1430,
Philippe the Good instituted the Order ofthe Golden Fleece, twenty-
four holders formed the first promotion:after the large Master, came
immediately by precedence Guillaume IIIfrom Vienna. It is with its
request that in 1485, the magpie Unionwas set up in equestrian Order,
all approved at once by the popeInnocent VIII. The 1st vault of the
knights in the church ofRougemont the house of Philibert de Mollans

in Besancon Alreadyenriched by prerogatives by Philippe Asseuré, then
by all the kingsof France of Louis XIV in Charles X, the Order
profited from specialspiritual favours conceded as well by the Roman
pontiffs as by thehiérarques Eastern ones.
The Knights of the Brotherhood of Rougemont and Knights of Saint
George, along with the Carmlite monks, elected the Bishops of
Besancon. Several of these Bishops bore the name Rougemont. As a
descendant of these Knights I extend my protection to these nuns who
have seen rockets fall about them and fall into the sea from atop a
hill in Haifa
“On Friday, the pope went to visit a convent of the
Carmelites not far from the small villa where he spending his
holidays and where he prayed for the Holy Land. Today, after exalting
the beauty of the mountains, saying they are a tribute to their
Creator, the pope said that “by happy coincidence, this Sunday falls
on 16 July, the day when the liturgy recalls the Blessed Virgin Mary
of Mount Carmel. ”
“The noble association of the knights of Saint-
Georges was founded in Rougemont about the year 1300 by the
sovereigns of the county of Burgundy to gather Burgundian gentlemen
of former knighthood. Their badge at that time was a medal
representing holy George with horse embanking a dragon, suspended
with a gold chain. This brotherhood was destroyed at the end of XIVe
century by the wars. She was restored by Philibert of MOLLANS(3),
knight comtois who would have brought back Holy Land of the relics of
Saint-Georges.He consequently thought of offering them to the
nobility of the county of Burgundy. He thus joins together about 1435
or 1440, a certain number of knights comtois to honour these relics
in a vault which he had with the castle of Rougemont. And it solved
to celebrate each year the festival of a saint, that the nobility
regarded as its owner, because it was knight and that one represented
it with horse armed with a lance. Philibert of MOLLANS was
undoubtedly the first governor of the order elected by the body of
the knights. Consequently, the largest lords of the country hastened
to be made receive in the brotherhood, and were assembled each year
in the vault of Rougemont on April 22, takes care of the George
Saint. Philippe the Good authorized the order to carry the suspended
medal to a red ribbon following the example that of the Golden
Fleece. In1648, the brotherhood settled in Besancon and not in Dole,
then capital county of Burgundy, indeed the brotherhood had already a
political role while being opposed to the Parliament of Pares. A room
in the tower of Montmartin was granted to him by a treaty with the
town of Besancon, as well as the exemption of the housing ofpeople of
war for the knights residing in Besancon. The knights ofSaint-Georges
were besides only noble city of Besancon has to profit from this
inappreciable privilege. However, it seems to have met several times
at Vesoul, city which has as Saint-Georges patronsaint. Then on April
25, 1661, the brotherhood is assembled in Salins and decides that
henceforth it will meet in Besancon, withthe convent of the Large
Carmelite friars, rested by a fellow-member: Jean of VIENNA.

PRESENTATION of the NOBLE BROTHERHOOD of the knights of Saint-
Georgein the county of Burgundy
The brotherhood of Saint-Georges was one of rare
voluntaryassociations gentlemen of a French province under Ancien
Régime. Thestudy of this brotherhood is made in three times. First of
all thestudy criticizes testimonys on the brotherhood, then the study
ofthe political role of the brotherhood through a lawsuit with
theParliament of Besancon, and the attitude of the knights of
GeorgeSaint at the time of the Revolution. Finally the statutes of
thebrotherhood and the list of the knights are analyzed under all
theiraspects. In conclusion, the instruction of the intendant,
thelawsuit and the analysis are compared to try to characterize
thedichotomy and the conflict between two types of nobility in
Franche-Comté and France at the XVIIIe century. The last part of this
workconsists of a dictionary prosopographic of all the knights of
Saint-Georges who lived between 1679 and 1789.
With – Small history of the brotherhoodThe noble association of the
knights of Saint-Georges was founded inRougemont about the year 1300
by the sovereigns of the county ofBurgundy to gather Burgundian
gentlemen of former knighthood. Theirbadge at that time was a medal
representing holy George with horseembanking a dragon, suspended with
a gold chain. This brotherhoodwas destroyed at the end of XIVe
century by the wars. She wasrestored by Philibert of MOLLANS(3),
knight comtois who would havebrought back Holy Land of the relics of
Saint-Georges. Heconsequently thought of offering them to the
nobility of the countyof Burgundy. He thus joins together about 1435
or 1440, a certainnumber of knights comtois to honour these relics in
a vault which hehad with the castle of Rougemont. And it solved to
celebrate eachyear the festival of a saint, that the nobility
regarded as itsowner, because it was knight and that one represented
it with horsearmed with a lance. Philibert of MOLLANS was undoubtedly
the firstgovernor of the order elected by the body of the knights.
Consequently, the largest lords of the country hastened to be
madereceive in the brotherhood, and were assembled each year in
thevault of Rougemont on April 22, takes care of the George
Saint.Philippe the Good authorized the order to carry the suspended
medalto a red ribbon following the example that of the Golden Fleece.
In1648, the brotherhood settled in Besancon and not in Dole,
thencapital county of Burgundy, indeed the brotherhood had already
apolitical role while being opposed to the Parliament of Pares. Aroom
in the tower of Montmartin was granted to him by a treaty withthe
town of Besancon, as well as the exemption of the housing ofpeople of
war for the knights residing in Besancon. The knights ofSaint-Georges
were besides only noble city of Besancon has to profitfrom this
inappreciable privilege. However, it seems to have metseveral times
at Vesoul, city which has as Saint-Georges patronsaint.
Then on April 25, 1661, the brotherhood is assembled inSalins and
decides that henceforth it will meet in Besancon, withthe convent of
the Large Carmelite friars, rested by a fellow-member: Jean of
VIENNA. After the conquest, Louis XIV decided totolerate the
brotherhood, in spite of his resistance to the invader.He made it
possible even to the knights to carry their medal ofSaint-Georges
suspended to a blue moire ribbon like that of theorder of the Holy
Spirit, this in order to adapt has lower cost partof the nobility
comtoise, which would provide him executives devotedfor its army.
Besides Louis XV & Louis XVI, continued the policy ofthe Sun king
with regard to the brotherhood, they addressed to thecompany
portraits the them same ones, in foot, where one couldread: “Given by
the king the knights of George Saint of his countyof Burgundy.”.
These portraits like that of the prince of COP,special guard of the
brotherhood decorated the superb room with theLarge Carmelite friars
of Besancon, unfortunately destroyed at thetime of the Revolution.
The plank of the woodworks of the room wasdecorated series of the
blasonnés ecus of the alive knights, withtheir confined inscriptions
of their four districts, which onedescended at the time of their
death to be carried in ceremony withthe church, then suspended with
their row in the nave where one sawa great number of it which had
decorated a long time the vault withRougemont. The church which was
papered blazons of the knights ofGeorge Saint was also paved of their
tombs, “as if they had wantedto join together in this place emblèmes
of human vanity to thetestimony of his nothing”. At the time of the
general assembly ofApril 25, 1768, new statutes were written, they

There is a new world religion sweeping Russia, the land of the Rus/Ros who were river Mermaids.
Jon Presco
In large part, Roza Mira is a spiritual cosmography, a description of the domains human souls occupy after death or between incarnations—domains resembling, to greater or lesser degrees, the heavens, hells, purgatories, and netherworlds of various religions and mythological systems. As such, it can be compared to works like the Bardo Thodol or Tibetan Book of the Dead, and the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri (as well as modern expressions of the same visionary tradition,
Roza Mira (full title in Russian: Роза Мира. Метафилософия истории, literally The Rose of the World. The Metaphilosophy of History) is the title of the main book by Russian mystic Daniil Andreev. It is also the name of the predicted new universal religion, to emerge and unite all people of the world before the advent of the Antichrist, described by Andreev in his book. This new interreligion, as he calls it, should unite the existing religions “like a flower unites its petals”, Andreev wrote. According to Roza Mira, there are no contradictions between different religions, because they tell about different aspects of spiritual reality, or about the same things in different words.
I have endeavored to provide a glimpse of the Rose of the World’s perspective on the scientific and Scientific modes of inquiry, on individuals’ rights and obligations, on human creativity and labor, and on the two basic types of spiritual paths: the Wide and the Narrow. In order to complete this overview of its perspective on culture, it would be sensible to dwell on the Rose of the World’s views on art, in the broader sense of the word. But that subject is so important and touches on so many different levels, and is so close to my heart personally, that I have decided to devote a series of chapters to it in one of the later parts of the book. Therefore, before moving on to the question of the Rose of the World’s perspective on other religions, I will jot down just a few words about art in the approaching era.
What features might distinguish the art to be created by people who have embraced the spirit of the Rose of the World in the near future, when the sun of the golden age will have only Just begun to illumine the clouds on the horizon?
It would be naive to try to predict or summarize the variety of artistic trends, genres, schools, and styles with which that sphere of culture will scintillate toward the end of this century. But a certain dominant style will, I think, emerge. Of course, it will not exhaust all the different artistic movements (under the conditions of maximum freedom that would be impossible as well as unnecessary for the same reason). This style is destined to become the mainstream in art and literature in the last third of this century. The perception of reality intrinsic to the Rose of the World— transparent perception, which distinguishes variomaterial or spiritual planes through the physical plane—will find expression in that style. Such a perception of reality will be a far cry from a studied optimism that is afraid to shatter its own peace of mind in heeding the dark and tragic sides of existence. Creators of that style will not seek to ignore the distressing and frightening underside of the world. They will consider it cowardly to desire to forget about the bloody path of history; about the reality of the dreadful infraphysical planes of Shadanakar; about their merciless laws, which bind untold hosts of unfortunates in chains of inhuman torments; and about the ghastly fall that is being readied for the human spirit by the forces of the Antigod and that will almost certainly take place when the golden age has run its course. But a higher level of awareness will not tarnish their love for the world, it will not lessen the joy they receive from nature, culture, creative work, public service, love, and friendship. In fact, quite the contrary! Could the awareness of hidden dangers threatening the one you love ever extinguish the flame of that love? There will be wondrous, life-affirming works of unprecedented purity and joyfulness. There will appear in all the artistic genres—both those that already exist and those that will arise later—works that will sparkle like splashes of water on sunlit ponds, works by artists of the future about a love that is much more capacious than ours, works about youth, about the joys of family life and public service, about the broadening of human consciousness and the expansion of the frontiers of our perception, about friendship between people and elementals, about the daily proximity of the friends of our heart who are as yet unseen, as well as much more that will concern the people of those times and that we are incapable of imagining.
It seems to me that such a style—masculine in its fearlessness and feminine in its lovingness, a profound combination of joy and affection for people and the world, yet with a keen awareness of the world’s darker depths—could be called either transparent realism or metarealism. And need I mention that a work of art will not necessarily have to be an example of transparent realism for people who have embraced the Rose of the World’s spirit to be able to enjoy and delight in it? They will delight in everything that has the mark of talent and at least one of the following features: a sense of beauty, broad scope, profundity of thought, sharpness of insight, purity of heart, or a joyful spirit.
There will come a time when the moral and aesthetic level of society, and of artists themselves, will be such that the need for restrictions of any kind will disappear, and freedom of artistic, literary, philosophical, and scientific forms of expression will be absolute. But it will not be until several decades after the Rose of the World has assumed moral supervision over the states that the era of that ideal moral level arrives. It is not through wisdom but youthful naivete that one could arrive at the idea that society has already reached those heights of maturity when absolute freedom will not give rise to critical, irreparable abuses.
At first it will be necessary to assign to local branches of the Global Artistic Council, besides more pleasant duties, that single checkpoint through which an artistic work will have to pass before its public unveiling. That will be, if you will, the censor’s swan song. In the beginning, when national antagonisms and racial-prejudice will have not yet been eliminated, and powerhungry organizations will continue to play on those prejudices, a ban will have to be laid on any form of hate propaganda against any segment of the populace. Censorship will be maintained longer over books and texts that popularize scientific and philosophical ideas that give inadequate, superficial, or distorted treatment to objective facts and thus lead uninformed readers astray. Censorship will persist over works of fiction, requiring from them, it seems to me, a minimum of artistic merit in order to protect the literary market from a flood of tasteless, aesthetically ignorant trash. Finally, an unconditional ban on pornography will likely be in place longest of all. With the removal of each of these restrictions another measure will take its place: the Global Artistic Council or the Global Scientific Council will, after the release of a work of poor quality, print an authoritative review of it. That will suffice.
Clearly, it will not be easy to devise a system to determine who will sit on such councils, a system that will ensure that people with party or conceptual biases, intolerant supporters of particular movements or philosophical schools, or champions of the creative interests of some single group, nation, or generation not interfere in any sphere of culture. I would think, however, that in the psychological atmosphere of the Rose of the World a system like that could be devised.
If, for the moment, we avoid entering into fine distinctions between the concepts of culture and civilization, we may say that culture is nothing other than the sum total of humanity’s creative work. If creative work is the highest, most precious, and sanctified of human gifts, an expression of the human soul’s divine prerogative, then there is not, nor can there be, anything more precious or sanctified than culture. Further, the more spiritual a given cultural level, a given cultural sphere, or a given creative work might be, the more valuable it is as well.
The culture of a united humanity is only now emerging. Until now the only cultures to reach individual maturity have been those of individual suprapeoples, a suprapeople being a group of nations that are bound by a distinct, jointly created culture. But none of these cultures is confined to that aspect that exists and evolves within our three-dimensional space. Those who participated in the building of that culture here continue their creative work in the afterlife as well, though the work is, of course, altered in accordance with the conditions of that world or those worlds through which the soul of the human creator is passing at the time. An awareness is growing of million-strong communities of such souls, of heavenly lands and cities above each of the world’s suprapeoples, and of Arimoya, the emerging heavenly land of the culture of a united humanity. A perspective on culture based on such principles is new and startling. We would be right in even noting that with further crystallization and deepening it will grow to become a vast mythology, if in using the word “myth” we disaccustom ourselves from thinking of something that has no basis in reality. Here we are dealing with just the opposite: a colossal reality that is reflected hazily and superficially, but reflected all the same, in mythology.
The atmosphere established by the Rose of the World and its teachings will give rise to conditions necessary for that cultural mythology to be grasped by every mind. Even if only a limited number of minds are able to comprehend it in all its esoteric complexity, the spirit of the worldview, and not its letter, will gradually become accessible to almost everyone. And if we contemplate the prospect of instilling that worldview in the general populace, then devising a system of measures to safeguard all spheres of culture from interference by people who have no inner right to manage those spheres will cease to appear a hopeless task.
