A number  of instances  of this  kind  have  occurred,  so I 
prompt  you,  Dear  Ones  tonight,  don't  accept  those  things, 
unless  some  very  Definite  Powerful  Proof  has been  given; 
because  the sinister  force,  or that  which  We call the sinister 
force,  which  is discordant  human  creation,  tries  to hold  its 
reign  over  mankind. In twenty-four  hours,  the Service  which  has  been  ren-
dered  your  city  here,  is delightful  beyond  words. Thou-
sands  and  thousands  of discarnate  entities  have  been  taken DISCOURSE  VIII  147 
from  your  city in twenty-four  hours! You  have  no idea  how 
mankind  is affected,  by the Individuals  who  cannot  leave 
the Earth,  who  long  for association  with  human  Beings. Remember  always,  the Mercy  of the Great  Law  which  has 
made  possible  This  Service  for the Earth! Do you  realize, 
only  a few  years  ago,  This  Service  could  not have  been  ren-
dered;  because  enough  of the Free  Will  of the Individual 
could  not be set aside,  until  the Great  Cosmic  Law  made  It 
possible. Do you  understand? I feel  you  do not just  understand 
what  We mean,  when  We speak  of the Great  Cosmic  Light. It is an Activity  of the Law  of Life  for the Earth,  directed 
by a Group  of Masters,  which  the  Messengers  refer  to as 
the Great  Central  Sun. That  Cosmic  Light  is projected  into 
the Earth,  by These  Great  and  Mighty  Beings  Themselves; 
a Consciously  Projected  Activity,  Dear  Ones! It is not an 
involuntary  activity,  when  We  refer  to the Great  Cosmic 
Light;  but It is projected  by This  Group  of Cosmic  Beings 
who  govern  This  System  of Planets. In the seven  physical 
planets,  to your  System,  it acts  as a "V"  shape,  and  your 
Earth  is at the lowest  point. You  came  down  this  side  (the 
left side)  and  you go up this side,  (the  right  side)  You  came 
down  here  consciously,  by turning  your  attention  away 
from  your  own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence." You  kept  lower-
ing and  lowering  the rate  of vibratory  action  by your  atten-
tion on things,  instead  of the Presence;  until  you  find  your-
self in your  present  state  of density. Now,  you  will  begin  ascending  into  These  Planets  above 148 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
the Earth. Venus  is your  next  one  above  the Earth  on the 
upward  trend. Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  that  is why  Venus 
and the Great  Kumaras  have  been  and  were  Those  who 
of Their  Own  Volition,  offered  Their  Service  to the Earth. They  offered  It to mankind  to whom  They  could  give  As-
sistance;  because  mankind  must  in its next  step,  go to the 
Great  Ones  on Venus,  if the people  do not make  their  As-
cension  here  now. I do not mean  in the next  embodiment, 
but one  day  the Advance  of the Light  within  Individuals 
impels  them  into  certain  localities. Those  who  are  now  in the  Understanding  of their 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  making  the Call  for Assistance, 
and decree  for their  Ascension  in this  embodiment,  can 
have  Help. Should  they  for any  reason  not accomplish  it, 
they  will  carry  This  Exact  Knowledge  with  them;  when 
they  have  thrown  off the body. They  will  go into  the Octave 
of Light  and  continue  their  Instruction  of the "Mighty  I 
AM Presence." When  they  come  back  into  embodiment 
again,  they  will  bring  with  them  in childhood,  This  Full 
Understanding  of the  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  the 
Application  of Its Laws. They  will  then  make  the Ascen-
sion quickly  in the next  embodiment. That  is the Far-reaching  Power  and  Understanding  of 
your  Presence! It is why  the Messengers  have  said  to you 
and why  We  say to you:  "It cannot  fail in any  manner." As the Messenger  has  said  to you  so often,  if you  will  do 
but One  thing  in an emergency;  still  yourself  and  say: 
"I AM,"  "I AM,"  "I AM,"  you  would  release  the Power DISCOURSE  VIII  149 
of your  Presence  into  action! Then  and  there,  when  you 
utter  Those  Words  firmly  like  that,  It is Divinity  announc-
ing Its Power  and  Action  at your  point  in the  Universe, 
where  It is expressed. There  are no words  in the vocabulary 
of any  language  which  touch  one  thousandth  part  the 
Power  of Those  Two  Words—"I  AM." That  is why  We  ask  all, please,  in all reference  to your 
God-head  or to Divinity,  use  the  Words  "I AM"—or 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"! Do not  go on using  your  old 
terminology  or the things  which  you  have  known. They  do 
not carry  the  Same  Power  as the Words  "I AM"—your 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence." Think  of what  It means,  in the 
vibratory  action,  to say:  "My  'Mighty  I AM  Presence.'" Its 
Power  is released  into  and  thru  your  body,  every  time  you 
say that;  and  if you  say It with  Great  Firmness  and  Deter-
mination,  then  the Intensification  of your  Presence  and  Its 
Energy  which  beats  your  Heart,  is released  into  and  thru 
your  body  into  action. There  is another  point,  I want  to refer  to tonight. Beloved 
Ones,  why  do not all have  the Clearness  of the vibratory  ac-
tion in the  brain,  which  gives  them  the  Clear  Direction 
from  the Higher  Metnal  Body  ? Because  of various  things 
which  have  caused  the density  of the brain  structure;  until 
it does  not vibrate  rapidly  enough,  to let the Direction  of 
the Presence  come  thru. Shall  I make  another  Very  Drastic  Statement  to you? There  is not One  Student  of the "I AM,"  who  has been  in 
This  Understanding  one  year  and  is really  in earnest,  who 173 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
has not stepped  up a receptivity  of the Vibratory  Action  of 
his or her brain,  more  than  fifty  percent  in one  year! That 
ought  to be encouraging. It is True! It is Absolutely  True! The various  habits  of mankind  which  have  made  the 
brain  structure  dense,  must  be discontinued. They  are alco-
holic  beverages,  narcotics  and  smoke. Smoke  is worse  than 
other  kinds  of use of tobacco  in that  respect;  for the smoke 
penetrates  the fine  cells  of the brain;  and  if beloved  man-
kind  knew  what  inhaling  smoke  did,  the people  certainly 
never  would  do it the second  time. These  qualities  Individ-
uals have  drawn  into  themselves  from  the  appearance 
world;  by the activity  of the sinister  force,  who  wanted  to 
make  the brain  so dense,  that  mankind  could  not receive 
the Divine  Direction  from  the Presence. Another  activity  is the waste  of the sex energy,  which 
draws  from  the brain,  the Illuminating  Power  which  would 
cause  it to vibrate  more  rapidly. Then,  the density  comes 
also from  meat  in the system. Too  much  starch  also  makes 
it dense. Those  are the five  particular  activities,  which  have 
created  greater  density  in the brain  structure  of mankind; 
to prevent  it vibrating  rapidly  enough,  to receive  clearly 
and definitely  from  the  Higher  Mental  Body,  whatever 
would  set the people  Free,  like  that,  (wave  of hand) 
These  are actual  Laws  which  you  are compelled  to live 
in and  under. If Individuals  wish  to correct  these  conditions 
themselves,  if they  have  made  these  mistakes;  then  We are 
ready  to give  Every  Assistance  Possible. We never  judge  or 
condemn  mankind;  but  remember,  Beloved  Ones,  you DISCOURSE  VIII  151 
must  be strong  in your  stand  with  your  Presence;  because  of 
your  own  human  creations;  because  of the  mass  atmo-
spheric  pressure  of all mankind  in which  you  are constantly 
moving. It is why  one  has to be strong  in the Acceptance  of and 
holding  fast to the "I AM  Presence";  and  it is why  the Prog-
ress and  Expansion  of the Light  of the Messengers  has been 
so Tremendous;  BECAUSE  THEY  WERE  FIRM  AND 
DETERMINED. After  Beloved  Saint  Germain  explained 
to them  what  was  required,  they  were  dynamite  in standing 
guard  over  their  own  worlds. They  made  such  Dynamic 
Application,  as you could  scarcely  imagine;  but that  is what 
is required. At first,  you  must  necessarily  make  firm  De-
termined,  Dynamic  Application. Then,  you  will  soon  break 
thru,  dissolve  and  consume  the  accumulation  of discord 
about  you,  which  has prevented  your  Freedom. Beloved  Ones,  when  such  a Wonderful  Condition  exists, 
as is here  in this  room,  We  just  long  to take  you  in Our 
Arms  and  hold  you  there  for a few  moments;  until  every 
vestige  of everything  which  has  ever  been  accumulated,  is 
dissolved  and  you  stand  Free! How  We  long  to do it; but 
mankind  must  thru  its own  Application  set Individuals 
Free! Wherever  the effort  is in earnest,  We  will  give  As-
sistance  to the limit. Never  doubt  that,  Beloved  Ones. You 
are never  alone  when  you  have  entered  This  Stream  of 
Light;  never  in the world,  because  some  of Us are always 
watching  over,  to see where  Assistance  is needed,  for We 
know  far better  than  you,  when  It is needed. 152 THE  "I AW  DISCOURSES 
Tonight  in this  most  delightful  hour,  may  you  feel  the 
Full Release  of all that  is yours! I say to you:  do not longer 
accept  any  limitation! The  Power  of your  "Mighty  I AM 
Presence"  take  command  of you  and  your  world! Silence 
the human  within  each  one! Cause  it to be obedient  to the 
Great  Law  of Life! Cause  it to cease  forever,  requalifying 
this Pure,  Perfect  Energy  which  flows  forth  from  the Pres-
ence  and  into  your  body,  with  any  discordant  feeling. Take 
command  of each  body,  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  tonight! Hold  the human  so calm  and  serene,  Joyful  and  filled  with 
the Great  Loving  Harmony  and  Blessing;  that  Its Energy 
flows  forth  just  like  a Mighty  River,  performing  Its Purify-
ing Service! Then,  let It go out into  your  world,  harmoniz-
ing everything  and  bringing  the  Release  of everything 
which  is required. I charge  your  Higher  Mental  Body,  every  one,  tonight, 
from  this  moment—to  stand  guard  over  these  bodies,  with 
such  Invincible  Power  that  no longer  is the human  discord-
ant. No  longer,  does  it accept  the  appearance  world  of 
discord  and  limitations;  but  in the Great  Calm  Serenity, 
thru  calling  to the Presence;  receive  Its Out-pouring  Limit-
lessly  in Its action  to produce  Health,  Harmony,  Joy,  Cour-
age and  Strength  in the body. It goes  out into  the world  of 
each  one,  producing  Its Harmonizing  Activity;  Its Success-
ful Achievement  and  filling  each  one  with  the Conscious 
Power  of his or her own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence." Keep  It 
flowing  forth  with  Its Mighty  Directing  Intelligence,  which 
makes  no mistakes. DISCOURSE  VIII  153 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"! tonight,  assert  Your  Dominion 
in every  one! Glorify  Yourself  in Your  Expression  thru 
mankind  without  limit! To those  who  are in this  room  to-
night,  for which  a Special  Service  can be rendered,  see It is 
rendered  this  hour! In the Fulness  of Our  Love  and  Blessings,  the Host  of 
Ascended  Masters,  the Legion  of Light  and  the Great  Cos-
mic Beings,  release  into  the world  of these  Blessed  Ones— 
the Courage  and  Strength,  Self-control  and  Dominion. There  they  can  give  co-operation  to the Law  of Life,  the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"—which  will  enable  It to release 
quickly,  Its Mighty  Power  of the Violet  Consuming  Flame; 
to dissolve  and  consume  every  vestige  of human  creation 
about  them. By Its Mighty  Directing  Intelligence,  pour 
forth  Its Mighty  Intelligent  Direction  and  show  them  the 
Way  of Life  which  the Presence  is! Our Love  enfolds  you  always  unto  your  Freedom  and 
Ascension. Try  to accept  even  your  Ascension  as Real  now! for the Final  Goal  of all pilgrimage  upon  Earth,  is your 
Ascension,  all of which  is as practical  as anything  in your 
outer  world. Try  to feel  all of This  Great  Reality  of Free-
dom. Live  in It! Be it! Then  see how  quickly,  It will  come 
into the Full  Power  of Expression  forever  sustained! I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XIII 
SEATTLE,  WASHINGTON. August  iqyj 
Beloved  Ones  of Seattle,  sometime  ago  you  will  remem-
ber, because  of the Out-pouring  of the Great  Cosmic  Light 
to mankind,  I was  able  to set aside  the action  of time  and 
space. In other  words,  dissolve  and  consume  for you  and 
all of the Students  of the "I AM"  thruout  America—one-
third  of their  own  human  creation. If you  understood  this, 
it would  give  every  one Infinite  Joy,  Courage  and  Strength! Now,  I have  an added  Joy to relate  to you  today. Since 
the twenty-first  of July,  when  the recent  Great  Release  of 
the Cosmic  Light  struck  the  Earth;  I have  been  able  to 
dissolve  and consume  another  one-third  of your  own  human 
creation  for you! That  means  two-thirds  of your  own  hu-
man  accumulation  of the centuries,  including  the present— 
has been  dissolved  and  consumed  for you! It is how  Great  Our  Love  is for you! It means  every  sin-
cere "I AM"  Student  in America  and  the World;  for many 
have  now  become  sincere  Students  in almost  every  country 
of the World. Will  you  try for just  a few  moments,  to feel 
with  Me just  what  THAT  means  to you? Beloved  Saint 
Germain  told  you,  your  own  human  creation  was  ten times 
more  pressure  upon  you,  than  the atmospheric  pressure  of 
Earth. Then  it means  also,  two-thirds  of the pressure  of 
your  own  human  creation  is released  from  you,  from  your 
i54 DISCOURSE  VIII  155 
physical  world. Why  do I call  your  attention  to this  ? Be-
cause  of the Power  of your  Attention,  which  gives  you  the 
Realization;  for I know  you  believe,  I tell you  the Truth. Notice  this  carefully,  for I am endeavoring  to give  you 
the Full  Feeling—that  two-thirds  of your  own  human  cre-
ation  have  been  dissolved  and  consumed  for you. It means 
two-thirds  of the pressure,  which  is wholly  an independent 
activity  from  the usual  effect  of your  own  creation,  has been 
released  from  acting  upon  you. It is a Tremendous  Thing, 
Beloved  Ones;  and  it makes  your  own  effort  in your  own 
Call to your  Presence,  two-thirds  easier  for you. That  has gone  into  Activity,  since  the twenty-first  of July, 
since  twelve  o'clock  on the beginning  of the twenty-first. I wish  you  might  feel  quite  definitely,  all of These  Great 
Cosmic  Activities  which  sweep  into  action  for the Earth, 
are a very  definite  thing. Ordinarily,  all of the Cosmic  Ac-
tivity  of the Earth  came  in, as a Gentle  Blending  into  the 
atmosphere  of Earth;  because  mankind  was  not yet suffi-
ciently  prepared;  but  as This  "I AM"  Activity  has  con-
tinued  to act thru  your  Decrees,  in Its Various  Pulsations  to 
Earth;  mankind  has been  prepared. Now  like  that  (a wave 
of the hand)  It comes  in a sweep,  instead  of the Gentle 
Activity  which  was  required  before. This  is why  We want 
your  Attention  to be on these  things;  because  thru  your 
Attention,  much  more  can  be done  for you,  than  if you 
were  not aware  of It. Let Me  assure  you,  Beloved  Ones,  your  Attention  is so 
Powerful! Remind  yourselves  every  morning,  when  you 156 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
awake:  "Now  what  my attention  is on I become! Where 
my attention  is, there  I am"! Then  you  won't  want  to let 
your  attention  be on destructive  or limiting  things;  because 
you know  you  become  what  you  contemplate. Every  moment  your  attention  is on gossip,  criticism  or 
condemnation,  you  are becoming  that  yourself! You  may  be 
ever so innocent  of any  feeling;  but if you  begin  to revolve 
or discuss  criticism,  condemnation,  judgment,  hatred,  an-
ger, jealousy  and  all those  things;  you  are charging  them 
into your  world,  which  you  will  have  to experience  to some 
degree! This  is why  the Power  of your  Attention  is the most 
Gigantic  Thing  in the use of mankind  today! Your  Power  of Qualification  and  your  physical  eyesight, 
your  vision,  have  a triple  activity,  which  if governed  con-
structively,  will  fill your  world  quickly  with  Perfection  of 
every  description! It is why  in This  Explanation  today,  I 
take the opportunity  again  to remind  you  of these  things. Don't  think  any  one  of you  escapes! That  is why  I want 
to use this  opportunity,  to say to the Groups  in Seattle,  you 
waste  your  time;  if you  allow  yourselves  to criticize,  con-
demn  or judge  anyone,  any person,  place  or condition! You 
are not  harming  any  other  person;  but  you  are harming 
yourselves,  by filling  your  worlds  with  the  quality  upon 
which  your  attention  rests. You  cannot  avoid  it! So don't 
be foolish,  Dear  Ones! You  should  be thinking  about  your-
selves. You  cannot  harm  anyone  else,  but  you  do harm 
yourselves  more  than  you  will  ever  know;  by a continuation 
of any  of those  activities—criticism  or gossip! DISCOURSE  VIII  157 
I know  this  Good  Messenger  will  pardon  Me for inter-
rupting  with  a few  Explanations;  but do you  realize  what 
sometimes  one  sentence  of gossip  will  do? It well  wreck 
human  lives! You  do KNOW  It in your  calm  moments! THEN,  DO  NOT  LET  ANY  EXCITEMENT  OR 
FIT OF  ANGER,  CAUSE  YOU  TO  SAY  UNKIND 
THINGS,  SOMETIMES  FALSEHOODS—COM-
PLETELY! BECAUSE  ANGER  KNOWS  NO  DIS-
CRIMINATION! IT  CARES  ABOUT  NOTHING 
EXCEPT  TO  DESTROY! IF THAT  QUALITY  IS 
ACTING  IN  YOU,  THEN  FOR  THAT  MOMENT, 
THERE  IS ONLY  DESTRUCTION  ACTING. These  are vital  things! You  who  touch  This  Stream  of 
Light  and  have  come  to know  the "I AM  Presence,"  must 
know  such  discordant  feeling  is not permissible;  for it is 
you who  are being  destroyed,  limited  and  interferred  with! You don't  harm  anyone  else! You  might  affect  them  tem-
porarily,  but  very  little;  especially  you  cannot  affect  the 
Students  of the "I AM,"  who  know  how  to protect  them-
selves! Dear  Hearts,  I could  cite  to you  in your  earthly  ac-
tivity,  thousands  and  thousands  of homes  and  families 
which  have  been  wrecked,  by a sudden  angry  vicious  sen-
tence  or remark. Oh,  as you  value  your  lives,  Beloved  Ones 
of the Light,  never  allow  yourselves  to say an unkind  word, 
about  another  one  of your  fellow  Beings! One  day,  you 
will have  to face  it. Now  in the Onrush  of the Great  Cosmic 
Light  into  the  outer  world,  which  is coming  more  and 
more  quickly,  you  won't  have  so much  time  to escape  it! 158 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
We have  been  compelled  to stand  by and  see happy  fam-
ilies,  happy  husbands  and  wives  separated  by vicious  gos-
sip, in which  there  was  not a Word  of Truth! It is a tragedy 
before  the face  of mankind! That  thing  is done  constantly! Over  the bridge  games,  in the social  gossip  of the world, 
tragedy  is created  each  day! Oh,  the pity,  the pity  of it! Sometimes  people  think  they  can say a word,  a sentence 
of falsehood;  and  they  know  it is false  when  they  say it. Yet that  impulse  comes  on and  acts;  and  then  destruction 
starts  and  it gathers. Homes,  happiness  and  sometimes 
whole  embodiments  are destroyed—by  a thoughtless,  cruel, 
unkind  word. We see! We  have  to see! all of such  unhappiness  acting 
within  mankind! Today  when  the opportunity  is so great 
and Complete  Understanding  is before  you,  in how  to gov-
ern these  things—why  they  produce  certain  effects  and  lim-
itations  upon  mankind—won't  you  join  Us;  every  one  of 
you,  in stopping  instantly  every  attempt  at gossip  ? Oh,  it 
is the most  frightful  thing  in the activity  of mankind! We 
know  of one  instance  now,  where  the greatest  injustice  is 
being  done;  and  those  who  have  started  it, will  weep  in 
sorrow  for the mistake. I prompt  you,  We want  you  to be Free;  but  you  cannot 
do it, Precious  Ones  of the Light,  as long  as you  allow  these 
qualities  to act in your  feeling  world,  and  give  expression 
to them. There  is no provocation  for these  things! It is only 
because  the old destructive  momentum  generated  by man-
kind,  is acting  in the atmosphere  of Earth;  and  people,  who DISCOURSE  VIII  159 
do not know  how  to protect  themselves,  take  it on. It is like 
one impulse  after  another,  forming  a momentum! The  mo-
ment  people  get too much  gin,  they  begin  to talk! If they 
get a little  excited,  they  begin  to talk! If they  become  a little 
angered,  they  begin  to talk! That  is the human  impulse  of 
the destructive  qualities  within  the human  Being. It is why  under  the old order,  the students  who  went  to 
the Retreat,  were  held  in Absolute  Silence  for from  three 
to five  years! They  never  were  allowed  to speak  a word! That  taught  one  obedience! You  today,  are being  taught 
by the experience  of the outer  world. The Light  is before  you! Use  it, Dear  Ones,  and  have  the 
Blessing  and  the  Freedom  which  It brings! Remember, 
you are the Chooser,  the Decreer  how  this  energy  is going 
to act in your  world! Don't  make  any  mistake  about  it. If you  insist  on allowing  discord  to act within  your  feeling 
world,  falsehood  and  gossip;  then  you  will  reap  those  qual-
ities and  it is a most  unhappy  reaping. So today,  in My  Calling  your  attention  to the Achieve-
ment  which  has been  attained;  whose  Blessing  We  are so 
happy  to have  given  to the Students  of the "I AM"  thruout 
the World;  and  in the prepared  atmosphere  today,  I have 
taken  the opportunity  to prompt  you  again;  not to do the 
things  which  bring  destruction  into  your  world. I thank  you  very  much! DISCOURSE  XIII 
September  18, 1937 
NEW  BEDFORD,  MASSACHUSETTS. Beloved  Students  of America! Great  is your  Privilege! Imperative  is the need  of your  Call  to God,  your  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence";  to release  Its Power  into  the activity  of 
the physical  world,  to give  the Assistance  to mankind  which 
is necessary  today. The world,  as you  commonly  use  the term,  is "on  the 
spot"—before  the Great  Cosmic  Light! It will  not tolerate 
longer  mankind's  tardiness,  let us call  it, in giving  forth 
the assistance  which  is required  today. If you  have  not known  it before,  you  shall  tonight! There 
is no destructive  force  in the Earth  or anywhere  else  which 
is not caused  by human  Beings! The  only  place  where  de-
structive  force  exists  is upon  your  Earth  and  in its atmo-
sphere;  which  is known  as the psychic  or astral  world. Make  no mistake  about  it; in the psychic  or astral  world, 
which  is but discordant  human  creation,  there  is no good 
thing;  and  there  are no gradations  of that  octave  of vibra-
tory action! Everything  of a destructive  nature  which  is generated 
by mankind,  is held  within  that  octave  from  the surface 
of the Earth  up to approximately  seven  thousand  feet. It is 
known  as the astral  or psychic  world;  in which  humanity 
160 DISCOURSE  VIII  161 
is compelled  to move  all the time  unless—observe  the Chart 
—unless  mankind  will  understand  the "I AM  Presence," 
the Individualized  Presence  of God;  and  call It into  action 
to form  about  the outerself  the Tube  of Light,  which  can 
be made  Invincible  to all surrounding  discord. As In-
dividuals  call  the Presence  to do this,  they  will  find  them-
selves  enveloped  in a Tube  of Invincible  Protection;  in 
which  they  can  move  among  mankind,  untouched  by dis-
cord. Students  everywhere  thruout  America,  who  have  been 
earnest  and  sincere  and  called  the Presence  into  action  to 
produce  the  Tube  of Light,  have  had  Its Results! Mrs. 
Ballard  and  This  Good  Messenger  have  been  compelled  to 
call That  into  action  in order  to survive;  and  they  have  gone 
forth  expanding  the  Activity  of the Light,  untouched  by 
the discord  of the outer  world. So you  too,  Beloved  Ones,  if you  will  call the Presence  to 
formulate  This  Tube  of Light  about  you,  can do the same 
thing. It is a part  of yourself! Observe  the Chart! Again, 
That  Stream  of Light  and  Energy  is you! When  you  call 
the Presence  into  action,  to formulate  This  Tube  of Light 
about  you,  the Higher  Mental  Body  takes  the  Radiance 
from  your  Call  up to the Presence,  which  forms  the Tube 
of Light  and  establishes  It about  you  as definitely  as a wall 
of steel. Remember,  That  Light  which  comes  from  your  Presence 
is Self-Luminous,  Intelligent  Substance;  from  which  every-
thing  in human  form  came  forth  or ever  will  come. Your 162 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
experience  in human  forms,  is but  your  Life  clothed  in 
the more  condensed  discord  of human  feeling;  thru  which 
That  Mighty  Light  and  Energy  is trying  to expand  Per-
fection. Remember,  the  greater  density,  is caused  by the 
discord  which  has  generated  in your  feelings. Discord  is 
the only  thing  which  makes  density  of form. Once  you  free  yourselves  and  your  feeling  world,  which 
is as far as your  hands  extend  around  you—sometimes 
farther—from  every  discord  and  hold  your  world  Har-
monious;  you  wil1  find  the Powers  of the Presence  flowing 
thru;  and  Perfection  will  reign  in your  world! Then,  the 
Limitless  Presence  and  Supply  of everything  you  need  for 
your  use,  will  come  forth  with  the ease  of breathing. It is 
the Natural  Law  of your  Being! You,  thru  discord  have  closed  the door,  by giving  power 
to the  appearance  world;  which  has  not  one  ounce  of 
power,  so far as you  or your  world  are concerned,  except 
what  is given  it. How  do you  do it? By your  attention 
upon  the appearance  of limitations,  which  feeds  your  Life 
into it, to come  back  and  limit  you. Without  your  energy  it 
could  not  touch  your  world;  because  it has  to come  into 
your  world  by your  Stream  of Life  and  Energy,  which  goes 
out thru  the Power  of your  attention! Beloved  Ones,  remember,  you  have  three  faculties  within 
your  Being,  each  one of which  is All-powerful! Your  Atten-
tion;  your  Visualization,  which  is your  physical  eye-sight; 
and your  Power  of Qualification! That  which  is invisible 
to you,  is the thing  which  plays  the greatest  havoc  in your DISCOURSE  VIII  163 
world,  and  it is your  power  of qualification;  because  every-
thing  which  comes  into  your  world,  must  come  THRU 
YOU  into  your  world  of activity. If your  feeling  is discor-
dant,  then  it will  carry  whatever  that  discord  is, into  your 
world  and  produce  of its kind. These  are things  which  mankind  has not understood  and 
the people  have  gone  on, and  on and  on, feeding  discord 
thru  their  feeling. All the time  their  discord  was  being  car-
ried thru  this  Mighty  Current  of Energy  out  into  their 
worlds;  producing  discord,  chaos,  limitation  and  failure. I tell you,  Dear  Ones,  no person  on the face  of this  Earth, 
who  once  becomes  aware  of the "I AM  Presence,"  which 
beats  each  Heart;  who  will  give  It sincere,  earnest  atten-
tion and  call  Its Powers  into  action,  will  ever  find  himself 
or herself  in need  of anything. Individuals  will  have  Omni-
present  in their  worlds  for use,  everything  their  Hearts  de-
sire, and  there  is no exception  to It! The feeling  world  of mankind,  must  be kept  Harmoni-
ous, so it no longer  clothes  with  discord,  this  Energy  which 
flows  from  the Presence  and  goes  out into  the World. That 
Powerful  Energy  will  go out into  your  world  and  produce 
Harmony  and  Perfection  everywhere. Then,  every  one who 
touches  your  world,  will  have  the use of everything  which 
is required. The human  limitation  within  mankind,  has  made  the 
people  feel—because  they  have  forgotten  the "I AM  Pres-
ence"—that  all is here  within  the human  form;  and  its au-
thority  is the intellect. The  people  have  felt it is what  the 164 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Individual  sees  out here,  from  which  they  must  gather  their 
power  of achievement. Behold  the Chart! When  so-called 
death  ensues,  observe  the form  which  was  active  a moment 
before. It no longer  has Power,  Intelligence  nor  Action! Then,  what  happened  ? Where  was  That  Energy  ? Where 
was That  Activity  ? Where  was  That  Power,  by which  the 
human  form  acted  a few  moments  before? Within  the 
Stream  of Energy  which  comes  from  the Heart  of God, 
your  "I AM  Presence"! Remember,  Dear  Hearts,  That  Stream  of Light  and  En-
ergy  is not just a Principle;  but It holds  within  It the Intel-
ligence,  the Power,  the Action  which  every  human  Being 
is using  and  requires  in order  to have  action. Then  know-
ing that,  how  can  any  human  Being  in the outer  world, 
claim  Power  unto  its intellect  of itself  ? It has been  the mis-
take of all mankind! Thru  intellectual  attainment  in all 
outer  activities  of Life;  law,  medicine,  music,  where  the In-
dividual  thru  practice  and  application  of the outer,  has at-
tained  a certain  degree  of mastery,  it has claimed  the Power 
in those  particular  streams  of activity,  according  to their  un-
derstanding  at the time. While  their  attention  was  on the outer  things  and  the 
desire  was  acting,  It was  the Power,  Intelligence  and  Ac-
tivity  of the Presence,  which  gave  them  whatever  achieve-
ment  they  had. When  the people  understand  this and know 
everything  comes  from  the "I AM  Presence"  which  gives 
them  Life;  they  will  place  the Power  where  It belongs. They 
will be enabled  to draw  This  Power  forth  in a Tremen-DISCOURSE  VIII  165 
dously  Greater  Volume;  and  sweep  out of their  worlds, 
every  limiting  discordant  thing,  which  ever  had been  drawn 
there—even  though  the Individual  physically  were  respon-
sible  for it. When  one understands,  how  to call on the Law  of For-
giveness,  for all mistakes  which  have  ever  been  made,  it is 
One of the Greatest  Things  any Individual  can do! Then, 
you prove  to the Presence  you want  to be set Right;  you are 
not claiming  Powers  which  do not belong  to your  physical 
body;  because  all comes  from  your  Presence! When  you call 
to your  "I AM  Presence,"  acknowledging  It as the Only 
Power,  you will be able  to release  into  your  world  of activity 
—from  your  Life  Stream,  This  Great  Power  and  Energy 
which  is without  limit,  exactly  as We are able  to wield  It 
today! Think  of those  Precious  Children—Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and 
Pearl,  whom  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  to Me in 
India  at Chananda's  Home! There  in the Cave  of Blazing 
Light,  they  were  set Free  forever! Today,  think  of it, Be-
loved  Ones! Those  Children  made  that  long  journey  there 
physically. Today,  I have  come  to you. Does  It mean  any-
thing  to you? It might  sound  like  a childish  question;  but 
I say it for a Reason,  even  to the former  students. "Does  that 
mean  anything  to you"  ? Everything  in the world,  Precious 
Ones! Try to follow  Me,  just a few  moments,  in feeling  what 
the Power  and Release  of Our  Power  of Divine  Love  means 
in your  world! While  the Messenger  is repeating  My Words 166 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
to you,  I stand  here  connecting  Myself  with  your  Heart, 
every  one of you. Will  you notice  I do not ask your  permis-
sion. Then  I am enabled  to render  you  a Service  which  the 
outer  could  not possibly  comprehend  at the moment;  but 
THAT,  which  I do for you will continue  forever;  until  you, 
thru your  own  Call  to the Presence,  set yourselves  Free. Dear  Ones,  please  use the Terminology  which  We have 
given  you. The  Words,  "I AM,"  as written  in English  today, 
have  come  down  from  the Beginning  of mankind's  appear-
ance  upon  the Earth. In the Royal  Teton—on  your  map, 
known  as the Grand  Teton,  there  are the Records  of these 
civilizations—every  one  which  has ever  been  on Earth. In 
every  language  which  was  used  during  those  many  civiliza-
tions—the  Words,  "I AM"  as written  in English  today  are 
there;  showing  Those  Two  Words  are the Power  of God. Mankind  needs  to learn  to use Those  Words,  as We do. In any  crisis,  if the Individual  did not think  of anything 
else just for the moment,  and  would  say:  "I AM,"  "I AM," 
"I AM,"  It would  release  the Powers  of the Presence  into 
action! Ofttimes  it would  perform  a so-called  Miracle  for 
him or her, then  and there! That  is the Power  of those  Two 
Words;  and  there  are no two  words  in the vocabulary  of 
human  experience,  which  release  the Power  Those  Two 
Words  do. The  Words,  "God,"  "Divine  Mind,"  "Divinity" 
and all other  Terminology  used  to express  the Godhead,  do 
not contain  the Power  the Words  "I AM"  do. That  is the 
Reason  why  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Use 
of the "I AM"  forth  to mankind  at this time. It is the Power DISCOURSE  VIII  167 
which  sets the people  Free! Why? Because  It is their  own 
Life! Your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  your  Individualized  Pres-
ence  of God  which  beats  your  Heart,  is your  Life;  and  your 
Life contains  everything  which  is for your  Perfection. Be-
loved  Ones,  in That  Stream  of Light  and  Energy  from  your 
Presence,  is everything  required  for the Perfection  of you 
and your  world  and  It is without  limit! Only  as you have 
felt limitation  from  the appearance  world,  have  you limited 
yourselves! It is not the Presence  who  has limited  you. To-
day, you  are in a position  in This  Understanding  of your 
Presence,  to set yourselves  Free  in a comparatively  short 
time. We have  gone  thru  the  experiences  of mankind. My 
Experience  of course  was  a long  time  ago. Beloved  Saint 
Germain  and  Those  who  have  more  recently  made  the 
Ascension—for  instance  the Children,  Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and 
Pearl,  have  been  able  to set themselves  Free! The Beloved  Master,  Jesus,  left the Example  to mankind, 
but who  believed  It ? Who  was  willing  to try to fulfill  It ? Yet, He said:  "All  These  Things  I have  done,  ye shall  do"! Beloved  Ones,  why  is Saint  Germain  the One  today,  Who 
was chosen  by the Great  Cosmic  Light,  to bring  forth  This 
Activity  ? Because  the Seventh  Ray,  under  which  He is act-
ing, compels  Him  to be the One  to bring  forth  the Freedom 
of mankind! America  being  the "Crystal  Cup"  which  is the 
Freedom  of the Earth,  compels  America  to be the Focal 
Point  of That  Freedom  for the World. It is not a matter 168 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
of any one's  choice. It is a Law,  a Great  Cosmic  Law,  which 
has made  Saint  Germain  the Active,  Individual  for Our 
Freedom. It is the Cosmic  Law  which  has made  America, 
the "Cup"  to release  the Light  of the future! Think  of it, in India,  where  so Great  a Light  has been 
among  a few;  yet the great  mass  of people  in India,  are 
bound  far worse  than  you are. Why  ? Because  the teaching 
which  has come  forth  in the past,  has taught  the people  of 
India  meditation;  in which  hundreds  and  thousands  of 
them  sit down  in a posture;  and  release  themselves  from 
the body  and  go out into  Samadhi. They  do go into  That 
Exquisite  Realm  or Octave  of Light;  but  what  good  is it 
doing? The need,  today,  is to bring  Our  Perfection  dowrn  into 
the human  octave—where  mankind  has  created  the dis-
cord;  and  to produce  Perfection  here! Unless  mankind  un-
derstands  the "I AM  Presence,"  there  is no hope  of ever 
bringing  That  Perfection  in Its Fulness  into  the physical 
octave,  where  It is required  to set mankind  Free. It is why,  today,  there  is no Knowledge  in the whole 
world,  which  can do for mankind  what  the Understanding 
of this  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  can do for you! I say to 
you as the Messengers  have  said  time,  and  time  again: 
"Whether  you ever  heard  of the Messengers  again  or not;  if 
you will  give  your  attention  to your  own  God  Presence, 
the 'Mighty  I AM,'  and  harmoniously  abide  within  It; by 
the very  Power  of your  attention  to It, you  would  not need 
anyone  in the world  to tell you  the Power  of Life;  or how DISCOURSE  VIII  169 
to bring  your  own  God  Presence  forth  into  action! It is the 
ONLY  WAY  mankind  is to be Free  in this World"! Today,  the Greatness,  the Power,  with  which  you  can 
set yourself  Free  in This  Acknowledgment,  is unparalleled 
in the history  of the Earth;  and  I say this,  as One  who 
knows;  One  who  has followed  civilization  after  civilization 
thru centuries  without  number! Beloved  people,  I plead  with  you,  do not accept  for one 
single  moment  more,  there  is such  a thing  as death  in this 
Universe. There  never  was  and never  will  be! What  seems 
to be so, is but the change  of form. When  the body  is cast 
aside,  the Energy  which  comes  thru  the top of your  head 
and anchors  within  your  Heart,  simply  disconnects  and 
withdraws  into  the Higher  Mental  Body  of the Individual, 
who  is reasonably  constructive. Between  your  human  form 
and your  God-Self,  your  "Mighty  I AM,"  is your  Higher 
Mental  Body—a  Form  just as Tangible  in Its Own  Octave, 
as your  flesh  body  is here. It is your  Discriminating  Selective 
Intelligence  which  acts  with  the Power  of the Presence! It 
knows  the Perfection  which  the Presence  is, and knows  the 
imperfection  which  you have  drawn  about  you,  but will  not 
accept  it into  Its own  World. When  you  call to your  Pres-
ence,  the Great  Law  and  Power  of the Universe,  is set into 
action  to fulfill  your  command,  your  Decree,  and  It cannot 
fail! It is impossible! If It seems  to, it is only  because  your 
human  doubts  and  fears  have  rushed  in, with  such  power 
they have  carried  their  qualities  into  your  feeling  and  out 
into your  world  to produce  more  of their  kind. 170 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
It is why  Wc say to you,  if you will  harmonize  your  feel-
ing and  maintain  Harmony;  then  call  your  "I AM  Pres-
ence"  into  action;  there  is not a thing  in the world,  It will 
not produce  for you—not  one thing! There  is no Power  to 
resist  your  Presence  in the World. All the human  Beings  in 
the World,  have  no Power  against  your  Presence! All the 
limitations  in your  world  have  no Power,  except  the Power 
which  you give  them  thru  your  attention! Will  you  believe 
that and set about  at once,  to set yourselves  Free  in the Ac-
knowledgment  of your  Presence  ? Because  you have  made  mistakes,  is no reason  you should 
longer  live  in them! It is quite  within  your  own  choice! You can be Free,  if you will! If you believe  what  I say, you 
can be Free  in no time! If you will  not believe  It, then  you 
will have  to go on in your  limitations! One  day,  Beloved 
Ones,  you will  realize  We do not talk  to hear  Ourselves. We 
are far beyond  exploitation;  but We Love  mankind  with  a 
Love  which  the human  cannot  yet understand;  because  We 
see the Light  within  mankind  expanding  to the Power  and 
Point,  where  the people  can be given  This  Unlimited  As-
sistance  which  We are offering,  and  they  shall  have  It! When  I have  come  into  these  Classes,  seeing  the need  of 
mankind  and  the Service  I could  render;  seeing,  feeling, 
and hearing  the Call  of those  Beloved  Students  thruout 
America,  It would  melt  a heart  of stone. Sometimes  in the 
secret  of their  own  chamber,  such  a Call  goes  out from  their 
Hearts,  It would  melt  a stone. Then  do you think  for one 
moment,  I would  not respond  to that  and  give  the Assist-DISCOURSE  VIII  171 
ance  those  Blessed  Beings  require;  to set them  Free,  as 
quickly  as possible,  from  all they  have  accumulated  thruout 
the centuries  ? Don't  make  any  mistake! I am no dis-embodied  spirit 
speaking! "I AM"  a Cosmic  Being,  Who  knows  no limita-
tion! I wield  Power  which  with  a Wave  of My Hand  could 
lift this  building  and  cause  it to float  in the air! That  is 
what  it means,  in My coming  to render  This  Assistance  to 
mankind! Let who  ever  wants  to, believe  it or not,  as they 
like! One  day,  not so far distant,  Beloved  Ones,  you  will 
begin  to see the Power  of the Infinite  Light;  manifested 
upon  Earth  once  again,  as It did eight  hundred  thousand 
years  ago! Human  Beings  in their  human  sense  of time,  have  so 
limited  themselves  in believing  all there  is in existence,  is 
within  the scope  of the human  vision. If it were,  it would 
be a travesty  upon  the Activity  of the Universe. You,  who 
might  be here  for the first  time,  be kind  enough  to take 
one of those  Charts,  either  in the book  or the single  Chart 
and hold  It before  yourself  every  night  before  you  retire! Speak  to the "I AM  Presence,"  represented  in the Chart, 
which  beats  your  Heart! Continue  with  kindliness  and 
earnest  desire,  to have  and know  the Truth;  and  tell Me in 
six months,  if you do not have  the Proof  within  yourself  of 
what  That  Presence  is to you ? This  is a Law  and  an Understanding  which  every  human 
Being  can prove  to himself  or herself,  if each  one  will. If 
people  do not want  to, it is quite  their  own  affair,  but We 172 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
are calling  to the people  of Earth,  who  want  to be Free; 
who  will set aside  all human  concepts  of what  they  suppose 
might  be, and  enter  into  This  Stream  of Light;  call  the 
Presence  into  action  and  have  the Proof  within  themselves 
—the  ONLY  THING  which  amounts  to anything  is God, 
the "Mighty  I AM  Presence"! It is their  Instantaneous  Free-
dom  from  the mistakes  of the human  creation  of Earth! It 
is within  the reach  of every  one in This  Understanding! Beloved  Ones,  I must  offer  a Word  to you,  tonight,  con-
cerning  that  Magnificent  Being,  the  Ascended  Master, 
Saint  Germain,  who  has brought  to you This  Magnificent 
Understanding. Remember,  Saint  Germain  said  to Me in 
the beginning,  He would  try This  out and  I said  to Him: 
"Do you  think,  you  can find  some  strong  enough  in the 
outer  world  of mankind,  to stand  against  what  will  be 
forced  and  focused  at them,  if they  undertake  to spread 
This  Light? He said:  "I think  I can." Then,  the Beloved  Nada  and  Lanto,  Who  is in charge 
of the Retreat  at the Royal  Teton,  were  the Only  Ones  who 
stood  with  Beloved  Saint  Germain,  in His Feeling  It could 
be done! Saint  Germain  knew,  because  He had looked  into 
the Life  Stream  of the Messengers,  who  were  once  His 
Children;  and  saw  that  with  their  obedience,  It could  be 
done. It has been  done,  thanks  to His Wondrous  Presence! Dear  People,  out of the humble  efforts  of the Messengers, 
more  than  three  hundred  thousand  people  in America  and 
the World,  today,  are having  their  Freedom,  in three  short 
years! This  is what  I want  you  to understand,  if you will: DISCOURSE  VIII  173 
"No matter  what  your  mistakes  have  been,  there  is not a 
thing  which  cannot  be remedied,  if you will call on the Law 
of Forgiveness! Call  your  "I AM  Presence"  into  action,  to 
dissolve  and consume  every  discordant  thing! Then  you can 
have  your  Freedom! You  do not longer  have  to live in the 
limitations  and  mistakes  you  have  made  in the past." Remember  to observe  the Chart! You  see there  repre-
sented,  the  Tube  of Light  and  the  Violet  Consuming 
Flame. No human  Being  on This  Earth,  can be Free  from 
his or her own  human  creations;  unless  each  one  will  call 
his or her own  God  Presence  to establish  the Tube  of Light 
about  that  one! Then  call  the Violet  Consuming  Flame 
within  It, to pass  from  the feet up thru  the physical  body; 
and that  one's  mental  and feeling  world—like  a great  blow-
torch,  which  gives  you  the feeling  and  sense  of ACCOM-
PLISHMENT! It will  dissolve  and  consume  every  discor-
dant  thing  which  have  ever  been  drawn  about  you. Every  Individual  can do This,  who  will! It is how  Mr. 
and Mrs.  Ballard,  the Messengers,  have  been  enabled  to 
carry  This  Activity  forward;  because  they  move  within 
That  Tube  of Light. Twice  a day,  they  use the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame  to keep  every  discordant  thing  dissolved, 
which  had  ever  been  accumulated  thru  their  activities  and 
embodiments. Whether  you  believe  it or not,  you  have  lived  hundreds 
and perhaps  thousands  of embodiments  similar  to this. If 
that startles  you,  I would  just  rest in it awhile. It is True! Suppose  you have  lived  thousands  of embodiments,  similar 174 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
to this. Necessarily  the mistakes  may  have  been  many  and 
great. Then  think  of the Mercy  of the Great  Law,  the Light 
of God,  the "Mighty  I AM  Presence"—which  has provided 
a Means,  by which  in a few weeks  or months,  you  can dis-
solve  and  consume  the cause  of every  discordant  thing, 
which  has ever  been  accumulated  about  you  thru  the cen-
turies! Dear  People,  no such  Thing  was  ever  known  in the 
history  of the World,  as This  Opportunity  which  stands 
before  you today! Now  understand  We are wholly  uncon-
cerned  who  believes  or who  does  not! We present  The  Law 
to mankind! All may  use It, if they  will! If they  won't,  they 
will continue  on in their  limitation  and  distress;  but the 
Opportunity  is here,  to call forth  This  Law  into  action  and 
be Free;  from  everything  that  distresses  you in any manner 
whatsoever! It does  not mean  you  can just  say:  "Now  here  'Mighty 
I AM  Presence'  You  can do this,"  then  you  run along  and 
do anything  you please! It means  you are compelled  to give 
obedience  to This  Great  Presence  and  the Light,  which  is; 
first,  Harmony  in your  feeling;  then  call  Its Powers  into 
action;  then  cease  the  old  human  habits,  which  have 
charged  your  world  with  discord  and  imperfection! That 
means—now  hold  tight  to your  chairs—Dear  Hearts:  all 
destructive  habits  must  cease  from  your  Life! It means  the 
sex activity  must  cease,  which  is not for pro-creation  of your 
kind! It means  tobacco  must  go in all its forms! It means 
all intoxicants  must  go in all their  forms! It means  all dope 
must  cease  from  the Earth  forever! It means  that  every DISCOURSE  VIII  175 
human  Being  who  listens  to agitation  of any kind,  whether 
it be communism  or whether  it be the unions,  is depriving 
that one  of Freedom! Let Me just for a moment,  call your  attention  to the need 
of the World  today. In every  civilization  which  has ever 
been,  the same  thing  has occurred  over,  and over  and  over 
again—always  ending  in the destruction  of the civilization; 
by this same  element  which  is called  communism  and  the 
strike  agitators  in the world. Their  destruction  drives  in 
and stirs  mankind  up to where  it has no Governing  Intel-
ligence;  and  the destruction  becomes  so great  in the world, 
that people  destroy  themselves;  and  those  who  do not de-
stroy  themselves  are destroyed  by each  other! Look  at the Orient  today! Look  in Spain! Dear  People, 
if you saw  all actually  taking  place  there  today,  you  would 
not care  to look  the second  time. Why  have  We come  from  our Great  Cosmic  Activities, 
to try to help  mankind  understand  the need  of today  ? Be-
cause  America  is the "Cup  of Light"  to the World;  and  to 
prevent  this  destruction  coming  into  your  America. Dear 
People,  unless  enough  of mankind  make  This  Call  to the 
Presence,  that  same  thing  will  sweep  your  America! As you 
may know,  if you care  to observe  today,  the destructive  ele-
ment  is unparalleled  in the Orient;  for no quarter  is given 
men,  women  or children  of any  kind. Everything  is de-
stroyed,  before  the onrush  of its destructive  power. That  is what  We are trying  to prevent  coming  into  your 
Blessed  America! Why  do We  give  This  Assistance  to 176 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
America  ? Because  America  must  be the "Cup  of Light,"  for 
the World,  if it is to exist! Because  in a previous  time  It was 
the "Cup  of Light"! It has come  again  into  a Cycle  where 
It must  be the "Cup  of Light"  now;  or the World  will  not 
survive! Dear  Ones,  the proof  is before  anyone  of mankind 
who  cares  to look! In the Call  of the Beloved  "I AM"  Students  of America 
today,  the Service  rendered  had  been  UNPARALLELED 
in the history  of the Earth;  which  proves  enough  of man-
kind  are calling. We are nearing  THAT  POINT—where 
the Power  of the Presence,  the Light  of God,  will  again 
rule upon  Earth;  and  bring  Its Mighty  Activity  into  Domin-
ion! This  is how  We know  what  is required;  and  what  will 
bring  the Dominion  of the Light  and  Its Perfection  on 
Earth. So today,  if you care  to give  assistance,  the Power  of your 
Presence,  will  answer  your  Call. These  Blessed  Ones  here, 
have  so marvelously  and  faithfully  been  issuing  These 
Mighty  Decrees;  for the Blessing  and  Freedom  of America 
and Europe,  as you  have  heard  them  tonight. Can  any  of 
mankind  render  so Great  a Service  to their  fellow  Beings 
across  the Earth;  as those  Mighty  Decrees  issued  for the 
Freedom  of Europe,  Asia  and  the Orient  from  the ravages 
of war! There  is only  One  Power,  One  Presence  in the Uni-
verse,  which  is the Solution  of these  things;  whether  it be 
for the Individual  or the nation. That  is the Power  of God, 
the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  called  into  action! NOTICE,  THIS  IS A WHOLLY  DIFFERENT  AC-DISCOURSE  VIII  177 
TIVITY,  FROM  ANYTHING  YOU  HAVE  KNOWN 
BEFORE;  BECAUSE  IN THE  RECOGNITION  OF 
YOUR  OWN  INDIVIDUAL  GOD  PRESENCE,  THE 
"MIGHTY  I AM,"  WHICH  YOU  CAN  CALL  INTO 
ACTION,  A POWER  IS RELEASED  A THOUSAND 
TIMES  GREATER,  THAN  ANYTHING  WHICH 
CAN  BE RELEASED  IN THINKING  OF  GOD  AS 
AN OMNIPRESENCE! That  is why  This  Activity  pro-
duces  such  Powerful  Results  in the Life  of the Individual. IT IS THE  ONLY  PERMANENT  SOLUTION  OF 
ANYTHING  THERE  IS; and  if enough  of humanity  will 
call, the Solution  of the many  problems  in the city,  the state, 
the Nation  will  be released;  and  their  conditions  will  be 
solved  by This  Light  of God! Remember,  as the blessed  brother  said  tonight,  as you 
go forth,  you  will  receive  Washington's  Vision. The  third 
episode  referred  to there,  is the thing  We are trying  to pre-
vent! Remember,  That  Great  Being,  the Goddess  of Lib-
erty,  Whom  one day you shall  know,  said  to him:  "If neces-
sary,  the Light  as of a Thousand  Suns  would  descend  into 
the Earth;  and  dissolve  all human  selfishness  and  discord 
from  the planet." That  is The  Law! That  will  be done! The Great  Arcturus  in His  Dictation,  used  almost  iden-
tically  the Same  Words! If it were  not for the Release  of 
Our Great  Light,  there  would  not be a hope  for humanity 
today! Is there  any  one  in this  room  who  actually  feels  this 
which  is occurring  in China  today,  could  not come  into 178 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
your  city? Do not make  that  mistake! You  do not know 
how  soon  it could  come;  and  in the use of destructive  pow-
ers today,  in fifteen  minutes,  the largest  city  in America 
could  be destroyed  ! You are facing  a mighty  crisis! Do not look  upon  it 
lightly,  I plead  with  you! When  I said  to you,  "We  do not 
talk to hear  Ourselves,"  I want  you to remember  It; but We 
are trying  to strengthen  and  encourage  you;  to give  forth 
such  a Powerful  Call  to your  "I AM  Presence";  and  Release 
such  a Power  of Its Activity,  that  This  Service  can be ren-
dered  to mankind  and  the Earth. This  Help  can be given, 
if enough  call. We are Free! We  are in no danger,  but you  are! Then, 
will you  join  Us in all the Powers  of your  Being,  to make 
That  Call  to your  own  God  Presence,  the "Mighty  I AM"— 
to release  such  Power  into  the Earth,  none  of these  things, 
dare  enter  your  world  of America  ? We always  take  advantage  of the opportunities,  such  as 
Constitution  Day! We  observed  among  mankind,  that 
which  gives  Us the Greatest  Rejoicing  possible. When  those 
great  parades  went  like  a river  thru  the streets  of the city 
(Boston);  and  We saw  the people  in lines  on either  side, 
when  That  Wondrous  Flag  came  forth,  raise  their  hats  to 
Their  Flag—then  We knew  the Heart  of America  was  not 
asleep! Then  We knew  in the Heart  of every  human  Being, 
is a Love  for That  Flag,  which  represents  Freedom  to the 
Earth! Remember,  Dear  Hearts,  the Statue  of Liberty  in New DISCOURSE  VIII  179 
York  harbor  represents,  a Great  Cosmic  Being—Who  will 
one day release  Her  Power  into  the Earth  and  assist  man-
kind. Today,  Our  Assistance  from  every  conceivable  angle, 
is coming  in to bless  mankind  and  the Earth. Will  each  of you  with  Us, go down  in the Records  of 
the Earth,  as one who  loved  his fellow  man  enough,  to call 
to his own  God  Presence  so powerfully,  It would  release 
those  Powers  which  protected  them  and set them  Free  ? We 
are making  the Call  for you;  but We had  no power  to do 
that,  until  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  your  attention 
to your  Authority,  your  Ability,  your  Power  of the "Mighty 
I AM  Presence." Then,  We began  to release  more  and more 
Power  of the Cosmic  Light  to assist  you! As It goes  on, one day,  you shall  know  the Truth  of every 
Word  that  the Messengers  have  spoken  to you,  in behalf 
of America  and Her  Freedom;  and  the Glory  of God  which 
shall  again  reign  upon  Earth! The  "Light  of God  never 
fails"  in anything! You  are That  Light  which  beats  your 
Heart! Your  Heart  is the "Light  of God  that  never  fails"  in 
anything! I thank  you! DISCOURSE  XIV

BOSTON,  MASSACHUSETTS 
Beloved  Students  of Boston  and  all who  are here  from 
other  parts  of America,  I wish  you  to know  today,  for 
your  great  strength  and  encouragement;  that  Three  Great 
Achievements  have  been  accomplished  thus  far, during  this 
Class. One  concerning  your  City  of Boston  and  two  con-
cerning  your  Beloved  America,  Our  Beloved  America. They  are Achievements,  which  We  could  scarcely  have 
hoped  for, when  This  Class  began. The  Law  does  not per-
mit Me to give  you  a detailed  Explanation  of this  at the 
present,  but whenever  It does,  you  shall  have  It. It is best 
at the present  that  no further  outer  attention  be given  to It, 
except  to know  of the Great  Achievement. We have  been  trying  for almost  eight  months,  to bring 
about  certain  conditions,  which  to some  degree  had to come 
from  the release  of the feeling  within  the students,  which 
would  enable  Us to do this;  for remember,  in all We do for 
America  and yourselves,  We must  have  a certain  amount  of 
your  FEELING  or Out-pouring  of Adoration  and  Grati-
tude to accomplish  It. Try to be at Peace,  all of you,  concerning  the number  of 
Students  here. The  number  is not so important. While  it 
is always  appreciated  by Us, yet it is the volume  of the 
180 DISCOURSE  VIII  181 
Power  of Divine  Love,  Gratitude  and  Acceptance  RE-
LEASED,  which  enables  the Work  to be done. It is why 
We have  not said  this  to you  in just  so many  words,  but 
I shall  do it now:  "There  is a very  Great  Reason  for your 
100%  Groups  and  that  is the feeling  which  you  release 
there. I ask  the Individuals  who  are members  of those 
100%  Groups;  do you  not have  a different  feeling  within 
you, in entering  the 100%  Groups,  than  you  do in what  is 
termed  an ordinary  Group? Do you not feel a more  Sacred 
Power  and  Greater  Firmness  in your  feelings  than  other-
wise? If you have  not noticed  It, I ask you to watch  It; be-
cause  that  is the case,  as We have  observed." Whatever  will  call forth  from  you  thru  the feeling,  the 
Most  Divine,  the Most  Sacred  Feeling  of the Power  of 
Achievement,  gives  you  the Greatest  Power;  not  only  in 
your  Assistance  to America,  but to your  own  Individual 
world. It is why  every  earnest  sincere  student  should  watch. I do not mean  this  from  an outer  standpoint;  but analyze 
just what  feeling  is operating  in you,  occasionally;  so you 
may hold  it in obedience  to the greatest  extent,  for the Re-
quirements  of the Presence. You have  no idea,  Beloved  Ones,  how  old momentum, 
unknown  to you in the outer  at the present,  acts  subtly  in 
your  feeling  world. That  is why  the Guard  is always  needed, 
every  night  and  morning. At night  before  you  retire,  and 
in the morning  when  you  awaken,  call the Presence  to set 
That  Guard  into  action,  in and  over  your  feeling  world. As you do It, you will  find  Tremendous  Assistance  given. 182 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Our Rejoicing  is so great,  in being  able  to accomplish 
these  things,  for These  Three  Points  Accomplished  are 
eternally  sustained. I thank  you for your  willingness,  not to 
be curious  to know  all about  It. Do you know,  Dear  Hearts, 
and because  this is so remarkable,  I must  mention  it to you: 
when  I referred  to this,  there  was  no curiosity  went  forth 
from  any  one! That  I consider  an amazing  achievement 
within  you! You  rested  in what  I said. Thank  you  with  all 
My Heart. Once  you  understand  It you  will  rejoice. It is 
magnificent,  for it shows  a poise  gained  within  you of Self-
control,  Precious  Ones. Never  lose  It! I congratulate  you! Now,  it is not My Intent  to talk  to you  further  than  to 
acquaint  you  with  this;  because  of what  the Power  of your 
attention  does. Dear  Precious  People,  your  attention  is the 
Most  Powerful  Thing. Once  you can realize  the Fulness  of 
what  you can do by the Power  of your  attention,  there  will 
not be one thing  in the world  which  will  retard,  interfere 
with  or bind  you  any  longer. Your  attention  upon  the 
"I AM  Presence"  is the Release  of Infinite  Power  for every 
single  Requirement  of yours  or whatever  you  might  wish 
to do for others. In My Closing  Words,  I want  to assure  you  today,  there 
have  been  released  into  this room,  perhaps  the Most  Power-
ful Healing  Currents  in any  of the Classes. There  are so 
many  calling  forth  to This  Class  for Assistance  from  all 
over America,  that  We are releasing  this intentionally. Now 
will you be kind  enough  by the Power  of your  attention,  to 
direct  These  Currents  of Energy  to anyone  whom  you DISCOURSE  VIII  183 
know  to be worthy;  or to whom  you want  to give  assistance, 
so they  may  have  the Help  ? It is a Wonderful  Opportunity. Also  while  I have  this  opportunity,  I wish  to thank  the 
People  of Boston,  who  have  come  here  for the first  time, 
who  have  accepted;  and  who  have  already  received  such  a 
Great  Blessing. I assure  you,  each  one,  that  it is just  the 
beginning  of the Freedom  and  Blessing,  which  you  can 
have  and call forth  into  your  world. I might  offer  this  suggestion  to you  and  to all Students 
and Group  Leaders  thruout  America:  If you  will  stand  by 
firmly  in your  Call;  and  ask the "I AM  Presence,"  to reach 
out Its Hands  and  bring  the earnest  sincere  people,  who 
are seeking  This  Light,  into  the Classes,  into  your  Groups 
and keep  out all others;  you  will  find  you will  gain  a Mo-
mentum;  and  the Selective  Intelligence  of the Higher  Men-
tal Body  of each  one,  will  actually  reach  out Its Hands  and 
by the Power  of Attraction,  draw  to These  Classes  and the 
Groups,  the earnest  sincere  people  who  really  want  the 
Light;  those  who  do not feel antagonistic;  and  are willing 
to put aside  their  own  pre-conceived  ideas,  at least,  to find 
out whether  they  care  for This  Understanding. Recently,  We  have  observed  that  particular  activity 
among  the Groups  and  the students  everywhere. Where  It 
has been  adhered  to closely,  the attendance  has expanded 
much  more  rapidly,  than  if there  be a feeling  within  the 
Group  Leader  or Individuals,  they  have  to do something 
outwardly  to get the attention  of the people. There  are two  activities  and  perhaps  the Radio  is the 184 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
greatest  power  of getting  the attention  of the people,  than 
any other  thing. The  reason  for that  is this:  with  the Tran-
scriptions  and  Mrs.  Ballard's  Work  over  the Radio,  when 
the people  are listening  to the Radio,  they  are wholly  quiet 
and in their  own  atmosphere. There  is nothing  to distract 
the attention  from  the words  to which  they  are listening. Now,  Beloved  Ones,  I am not criticising  the students  of 
the Classes;  but  let Me just  remind  you,  when  someone 
walks  into  the room,  you  know  how  quick  the attention 
goes to that  Individual,  until  he or she sits down  and  is 
quiet. Notice,  how  easily  things  in the room  or a movement 
will take  your  attention. I ask you for your  own  blessing  to 
pay no attention  to who  comes  in or goes  out;  but  hold 
your  attention  upon  what  is being  given! If you  will  train 
yourselves  to do it, you will  sometimes  grasp  points  which 
you pass  over  in that  moment,  which  would  be of Infinite 
Blessing  to you. I ask you  to watch  it. Because  of old habit,  the moment 
there  is an unusual  movement  somewhere,  the attention 
wants  to go there;  and  unless  you  hold  it in a firm  grasp, 
it will  do it. The  safe  way  on the point  of concentration, 
as the Messenger  once  said  to you in the Class,  is when  you 
have  before  you a point  of Achievement,  you  want  to hold 
all your  forces  concentrated  and  focused  upon  it. You  can-
not afford  to let outer  activity  draw  your  attention  here  and 
there,  if you want  to have  Quick  Accomplishment. As you 
hold  your  attention  steady,  it holds  your  forces  in its one 
direction. Then,  hold  it steady  there,  until  the Power  surges DISCOURSE  VIII  185 
in, and  all of a sudden  like  that  (wave  of hand),  it bursts 
thru and  the Accomplishment  is complete. That  is the power  of your  outer  co-operation,  in calling 
the Great  Powers  of the Presence  forth,  to any  given  re-
quirement. As you  watch  and  train  yourselves  to do these 
things,  you  can have  so much  quicker  results  in anything, 
which  you  call forth  into  action. So will  you watch  it just within  yourselves—not  in others. Just take  yourselves  in command  and  see how  you can best 
and most  quickly  utilize  the Powers  of the Presence  which 
you are calling  forth;  and  hold  your  outer  in an Absolutely 
Immovable  Focus,  until  the accomplishment  is complete. As you  train  yourself  to do these  simple  things,  it becomes 
the Most  Marvelous  Thing  in your  Life. Now  that  does 
not require  any  great  effort  so to speak;  but just  a Great 
Calm  Determination  to do it. Try  it, Dear  Ones,  and  see 
how  Great  the Blessing  is which  will  be yours. I wish  to thank  every  one  present  and  at various  points 
all over  America;  for the assistance  in releasing  the Power 
from  the physical  octave,  which  has enabled  Us to accom-
plish  These  Wonderful  Things. Then,  may  I ask you  to 
do the same  thing  within  the  Individual? Now  These 
Achievements  have  been  accomplished,  do not let down! Watch  It! Do not allow  your  outer  self to let down  or feel: 
"Now  that  is accomplished,  we can ease  up." You  know 
what  the outer  self does—it  wants  to rest. It does  not need 
it! Say  to it: "Now  go right  on"!

        A number  of instances  of this  kind  have  occurred,  so I 
prompt  you,  Dear  Ones  tonight,  don't  accept  those  things, 
unless  some  very  Definite  Powerful  Proof  has been  given; 
because  the sinister  force,  or that  which  We call the sinister 
force,  which  is discordant  human  creation,  tries  to hold  its 
reign  over  mankind. In twenty-four  hours,  the Service  which  has  been  ren-
dered  your  city  here,  is delightful  beyond  words. Thou-
sands  and  thousands  of discarnate  entities  have  been  taken DISCOURSE  VIII  147 
from  your  city in twenty-four  hours. You  have  no idea  how 
mankind  is affected,  by the Individuals  who  cannot  leave 
the Earth,  who  long  for association  with  human  Beings. Remember  always,  the Mercy  of the Great  Law  which  has 
made  possible  This  Service  for the Earth. Do you  realize, 
only  a few  years  ago,  This  Service  could  not have  been  ren-
dered;  because  enough  of the Free  Will  of the Individual 
could  not be set aside,  until  the Great  Cosmic  Law  made  It 
possible. Do you  understand. I feel  you  do not just  understand 
what  We mean,  when  We speak  of the Great  Cosmic  Light. It is an Activity  of the Law  of Life  for the Earth,  directed 
by a Group  of Masters,  which  the  Messengers  refer  to as 
the Great  Central  Sun. That  Cosmic  Light  is projected  into 
the Earth,  by These  Great  and  Mighty  Beings  Themselves; 
a Consciously  Projected  Activity,  Dear  Ones. It is not an 
involuntary  activity,  when  We  refer  to the Great  Cosmic 
Light;  but It is projected  by This  Group  of Cosmic  Beings 
who  govern  This  System  of Planets. In the seven  physical 
planets,  to your  System,  it acts  as a "V"  shape,  and  your 
Earth  is at the lowest  point. You  came  down  this  side  (the 
left side)  and  you go up this side,  (the  right  side)  You  came 
down  here  consciously,  by turning  your  attention  away 
from  your  own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence. " You  kept  lower-
ing and  lowering  the rate  of vibratory  action  by your  atten-
tion on things,  instead  of the Presence;  until  you  find  your-
self in your  present  state  of density. Now,  you  will  begin  ascending  into  These  Planets  above 148 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
the Earth. Venus  is your  next  one  above  the Earth  on the 
upward  trend. Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  that  is why  Venus 
and the Great  Kumaras  have  been  and  were  Those  who 
of Their  Own  Volition,  offered  Their  Service  to the Earth. They  offered  It to mankind  to whom  They  could  give  As-
sistance;  because  mankind  must  in its next  step,  go to the 
Great  Ones  on Venus,  if the people  do not make  their  As-
cension  here  now. I do not mean  in the next  embodiment, 
but one  day  the Advance  of the Light  within  Individuals 
impels  them  into  certain  localities. Those  who  are  now  in the  Understanding  of their 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  making  the Call  for Assistance, 
and decree  for their  Ascension  in this  embodiment,  can 
have  Help. Should  they  for any  reason  not accomplish  it, 
they  will  carry  This  Exact  Knowledge  with  them;  when 
they  have  thrown  off the body. They  will  go into  the Octave 
of Light  and  continue  their  Instruction  of the "Mighty  I 
AM Presence. " When  they  come  back  into  embodiment 
again,  they  will  bring  with  them  in childhood,  This  Full 
Understanding  of the  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  the 
Application  of Its Laws. They  will  then  make  the Ascen-
sion quickly  in the next  embodiment. That  is the Far-reaching  Power  and  Understanding  of 
your  Presence. It is why  the Messengers  have  said  to you 
and why  We  say to you:  "It cannot  fail in any  manner. " As the Messenger  has  said  to you  so often,  if you  will  do 
but One  thing  in an emergency;  still  yourself  and  say: 
"I AM,"  "I AM,"  "I AM,"  you  would  release  the Power DISCOURSE  VIII  149 
of your  Presence  into  action. Then  and  there,  when  you 
utter  Those  Words  firmly  like  that,  It is Divinity  announc-
ing Its Power  and  Action  at your  point  in the  Universe, 
where  It is expressed. There  are no words  in the vocabulary 
of any  language  which  touch  one  thousandth  part  the 
Power  of Those  Two  Words—"I  AM. " That  is why  We  ask  all, please,  in all reference  to your 
God-head  or to Divinity,  use  the  Words  "I AM"—or 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence". Do not  go on using  your  old 
terminology  or the things  which  you  have  known. They  do 
not carry  the  Same  Power  as the Words  "I AM"—your 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence. " Think  of what  It means,  in the 
vibratory  action,  to say:  "My  'Mighty  I AM  Presence. '" Its 
Power  is released  into  and  thru  your  body,  every  time  you 
say that;  and  if you  say It with  Great  Firmness  and  Deter-
mination,  then  the Intensification  of your  Presence  and  Its 
Energy  which  beats  your  Heart,  is released  into  and  thru 
your  body  into  action. There  is another  point,  I want  to refer  to tonight. Beloved 
Ones,  why  do not all have  the Clearness  of the vibratory  ac-
tion in the  brain,  which  gives  them  the  Clear  Direction 
from  the Higher  Metnal  Body. Because  of various  things 
which  have  caused  the density  of the brain  structure;  until 
it does  not vibrate  rapidly  enough,  to let the Direction  of 
the Presence  come  thru. Shall  I make  another  Very  Drastic  Statement  to you. There  is not One  Student  of the "I AM,"  who  has been  in 
This  Understanding  one  year  and  is really  in earnest,  who 173 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
has not stepped  up a receptivity  of the Vibratory  Action  of 
his or her brain,  more  than  fifty  percent  in one  year. That 
ought  to be encouraging. It is True. It is Absolutely  True. The various  habits  of mankind  which  have  made  the 
brain  structure  dense,  must  be discontinued. They  are alco-
holic  beverages,  narcotics  and  smoke. Smoke  is worse  than 
other  kinds  of use of tobacco  in that  respect;  for the smoke 
penetrates  the fine  cells  of the brain;  and  if beloved  man-
kind  knew  what  inhaling  smoke  did,  the people  certainly 
never  would  do it the second  time. These  qualities  Individ-
uals have  drawn  into  themselves  from  the  appearance 
world;  by the activity  of the sinister  force,  who  wanted  to 
make  the brain  so dense,  that  mankind  could  not receive 
the Divine  Direction  from  the Presence. Another  activity  is the waste  of the sex energy,  which 
draws  from  the brain,  the Illuminating  Power  which  would 
cause  it to vibrate  more  rapidly. Then,  the density  comes 
also from  meat  in the system. Too  much  starch  also  makes 
it dense. Those  are the five  particular  activities,  which  have 
created  greater  density  in the brain  structure  of mankind; 
to prevent  it vibrating  rapidly  enough,  to receive  clearly 
and definitely  from  the  Higher  Mental  Body,  whatever 
would  set the people  Free,  like  that,  (wave  of hand) 
These  are actual  Laws  which  you  are compelled  to live 
in and  under. If Individuals  wish  to correct  these  conditions 
themselves,  if they  have  made  these  mistakes;  then  We are 
ready  to give  Every  Assistance  Possible. We never  judge  or 
condemn  mankind;  but  remember,  Beloved  Ones,  you DISCOURSE  VIII  151 
must  be strong  in your  stand  with  your  Presence;  because  of 
your  own  human  creations;  because  of the  mass  atmo-
spheric  pressure  of all mankind  in which  you  are constantly 
moving. It is why  one  has to be strong  in the Acceptance  of and 
holding  fast to the "I AM  Presence";  and  it is why  the Prog-
ress and  Expansion  of the Light  of the Messengers  has been 
so Tremendous;  BECAUSE  THEY  WERE  FIRM  AND 
DETERMINED. After  Beloved  Saint  Germain  explained 
to them  what  was  required,  they  were  dynamite  in standing 
guard  over  their  own  worlds. They  made  such  Dynamic 
Application,  as you could  scarcely  imagine;  but that  is what 
is required. At first,  you  must  necessarily  make  firm  De-
termined,  Dynamic  Application. Then,  you  will  soon  break 
thru,  dissolve  and  consume  the  accumulation  of discord 
about  you,  which  has prevented  your  Freedom. Beloved  Ones,  when  such  a Wonderful  Condition  exists, 
as is here  in this  room,  We  just  long  to take  you  in Our 
Arms  and  hold  you  there  for a few  moments;  until  every 
vestige  of everything  which  has  ever  been  accumulated,  is 
dissolved  and  you  stand  Free. How  We  long  to do it; but 
mankind  must  thru  its own  Application  set Individuals 
Free. Wherever  the effort  is in earnest,  We  will  give  As-
sistance  to the limit. Never  doubt  that,  Beloved  Ones. You 
are never  alone  when  you  have  entered  This  Stream  of 
Light;  never  in the world,  because  some  of Us are always 
watching  over,  to see where  Assistance  is needed,  for We 
know  far better  than  you,  when  It is needed. 152 THE  "I AW  DISCOURSES 
Tonight  in this  most  delightful  hour,  may  you  feel  the 
Full Release  of all that  is yours. I say to you:  do not longer 
accept  any  limitation. The  Power  of your  "Mighty  I AM 
Presence"  take  command  of you  and  your  world. Silence 
the human  within  each  one. Cause  it to be obedient  to the 
Great  Law  of Life. Cause  it to cease  forever,  requalifying 
this Pure,  Perfect  Energy  which  flows  forth  from  the Pres-
ence  and  into  your  body,  with  any  discordant  feeling. Take 
command  of each  body,  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  tonight. Hold  the human  so calm  and  serene,  Joyful  and  filled  with 
the Great  Loving  Harmony  and  Blessing;  that  Its Energy 
flows  forth  just  like  a Mighty  River,  performing  Its Purify-
ing Service. Then,  let It go out into  your  world,  harmoniz-
ing everything  and  bringing  the  Release  of everything 
which  is required. I charge  your  Higher  Mental  Body,  every  one,  tonight, 
from  this  moment—to  stand  guard  over  these  bodies,  with 
such  Invincible  Power  that  no longer  is the human  discord-
ant. No  longer,  does  it accept  the  appearance  world  of 
discord  and  limitations;  but  in the Great  Calm  Serenity, 
thru  calling  to the Presence;  receive  Its Out-pouring  Limit-
lessly  in Its action  to produce  Health,  Harmony,  Joy,  Cour-
age and  Strength  in the body. It goes  out into  the world  of 
each  one,  producing  Its Harmonizing  Activity;  Its Success-
ful Achievement  and  filling  each  one  with  the Conscious 
Power  of his or her own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence. " Keep  It 
flowing  forth  with  Its Mighty  Directing  Intelligence,  which 
makes  no mistakes. DISCOURSE  VIII  153 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence". tonight,  assert  Your  Dominion 
in every  one. Glorify  Yourself  in Your  Expression  thru 
mankind  without  limit. To those  who  are in this  room  to-
night,  for which  a Special  Service  can be rendered,  see It is 
rendered  this  hour. In the Fulness  of Our  Love  and  Blessings,  the Host  of 
Ascended  Masters,  the Legion  of Light  and  the Great  Cos-
mic Beings,  release  into  the world  of these  Blessed  Ones— 
the Courage  and  Strength,  Self-control  and  Dominion. There  they  can  give  co-operation  to the Law  of Life,  the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"—which  will  enable  It to release 
quickly,  Its Mighty  Power  of the Violet  Consuming  Flame; 
to dissolve  and  consume  every  vestige  of human  creation 
about  them. By Its Mighty  Directing  Intelligence,  pour 
forth  Its Mighty  Intelligent  Direction  and  show  them  the 
Way  of Life  which  the Presence  is. Our Love  enfolds  you  always  unto  your  Freedom  and 
Ascension. Try  to accept  even  your  Ascension  as Real  now. for the Final  Goal  of all pilgrimage  upon  Earth,  is your 
Ascension,  all of which  is as practical  as anything  in your 
outer  world. Try  to feel  all of This  Great  Reality  of Free-
dom. Live  in It. Be it. Then  see how  quickly,  It will  come 
into the Full  Power  of Expression  forever  sustained. I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XIII 
SEATTLE,  WASHINGTON. August  iqyj 
Beloved  Ones  of Seattle,  sometime  ago  you  will  remem-
ber, because  of the Out-pouring  of the Great  Cosmic  Light 
to mankind,  I was  able  to set aside  the action  of time  and 
space. In other  words,  dissolve  and  consume  for you  and 
all of the Students  of the "I AM"  thruout  America—one-
third  of their  own  human  creation. If you  understood  this, 
it would  give  every  one Infinite  Joy,  Courage  and  Strength. Now,  I have  an added  Joy to relate  to you  today. Since 
the twenty-first  of July,  when  the recent  Great  Release  of 
the Cosmic  Light  struck  the  Earth;  I have  been  able  to 
dissolve  and consume  another  one-third  of your  own  human 
creation  for you. That  means  two-thirds  of your  own  hu-
man  accumulation  of the centuries,  including  the present— 
has been  dissolved  and  consumed  for you. It is how  Great  Our  Love  is for you. It means  every  sin-
cere "I AM"  Student  in America  and  the World;  for many 
have  now  become  sincere  Students  in almost  every  country 
of the World. Will  you  try for just  a few  moments,  to feel 
with  Me just  what  THAT  means  to you. Beloved  Saint 
Germain  told  you,  your  own  human  creation  was  ten times 
more  pressure  upon  you,  than  the atmospheric  pressure  of 
Earth. Then  it means  also,  two-thirds  of the pressure  of 
your  own  human  creation  is released  from  you,  from  your 
i54 DISCOURSE  VIII  155 
physical  world. Why  do I call  your  attention  to this. Be-
cause  of the Power  of your  Attention,  which  gives  you  the 
Realization;  for I know  you  believe,  I tell you  the Truth. Notice  this  carefully,  for I am endeavoring  to give  you 
the Full  Feeling—that  two-thirds  of your  own  human  cre-
ation  have  been  dissolved  and  consumed  for you. It means 
two-thirds  of the pressure,  which  is wholly  an independent 
activity  from  the usual  effect  of your  own  creation,  has been 
released  from  acting  upon  you. It is a Tremendous  Thing, 
Beloved  Ones;  and  it makes  your  own  effort  in your  own 
Call to your  Presence,  two-thirds  easier  for you. That  has gone  into  Activity,  since  the twenty-first  of July, 
since  twelve  o'clock  on the beginning  of the twenty-first. I wish  you  might  feel  quite  definitely,  all of These  Great 
Cosmic  Activities  which  sweep  into  action  for the Earth, 
are a very  definite  thing. Ordinarily,  all of the Cosmic  Ac-
tivity  of the Earth  came  in, as a Gentle  Blending  into  the 
atmosphere  of Earth;  because  mankind  was  not yet suffi-
ciently  prepared;  but  as This  "I AM"  Activity  has  con-
tinued  to act thru  your  Decrees,  in Its Various  Pulsations  to 
Earth;  mankind  has been  prepared. Now  like  that  (a wave 
of the hand)  It comes  in a sweep,  instead  of the Gentle 
Activity  which  was  required  before. This  is why  We want 
your  Attention  to be on these  things;  because  thru  your 
Attention,  much  more  can  be done  for you,  than  if you 
were  not aware  of It. Let Me  assure  you,  Beloved  Ones,  your  Attention  is so 
Powerful. Remind  yourselves  every  morning,  when  you 156 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
awake:  "Now  what  my attention  is on I become. Where 
my attention  is, there  I am". Then  you  won't  want  to let 
your  attention  be on destructive  or limiting  things;  because 
you know  you  become  what  you  contemplate. Every  moment  your  attention  is on gossip,  criticism  or 
condemnation,  you  are becoming  that  yourself. You  may  be 
ever so innocent  of any  feeling;  but if you  begin  to revolve 
or discuss  criticism,  condemnation,  judgment,  hatred,  an-
ger, jealousy  and  all those  things;  you  are charging  them 
into your  world,  which  you  will  have  to experience  to some 
degree. This  is why  the Power  of your  Attention  is the most 
Gigantic  Thing  in the use of mankind  today. Your  Power  of Qualification  and  your  physical  eyesight, 
your  vision,  have  a triple  activity,  which  if governed  con-
structively,  will  fill your  world  quickly  with  Perfection  of 
every  description. It is why  in This  Explanation  today,  I 
take the opportunity  again  to remind  you  of these  things. Don't  think  any  one  of you  escapes. That  is why  I want 
to use this  opportunity,  to say to the Groups  in Seattle,  you 
waste  your  time;  if you  allow  yourselves  to criticize,  con-
demn  or judge  anyone,  any person,  place  or condition. You 
are not  harming  any  other  person;  but  you  are harming 
yourselves,  by filling  your  worlds  with  the  quality  upon 
which  your  attention  rests. You  cannot  avoid  it. So don't 
be foolish,  Dear  Ones. You  should  be thinking  about  your-
selves. You  cannot  harm  anyone  else,  but  you  do harm 
yourselves  more  than  you  will  ever  know;  by a continuation 
of any  of those  activities—criticism  or gossip. DISCOURSE  VIII  157 
I know  this  Good  Messenger  will  pardon  Me for inter-
rupting  with  a few  Explanations;  but do you  realize  what 
sometimes  one  sentence  of gossip  will  do. It well  wreck 
human  lives. You  do KNOW  It in your  calm  moments. THEN,  DO  NOT  LET  ANY  EXCITEMENT  OR 
FIT OF  ANGER,  CAUSE  YOU  TO  SAY  UNKIND 
THINGS,  SOMETIMES  FALSEHOODS—COM-
PLETELY. BECAUSE  ANGER  KNOWS  NO  DIS-
CRIMINATION. IT  CARES  ABOUT  NOTHING 
EXCEPT  TO  DESTROY. IF THAT  QUALITY  IS 
ACTING  IN  YOU,  THEN  FOR  THAT  MOMENT, 
THERE  IS ONLY  DESTRUCTION  ACTING. These  are vital  things. You  who  touch  This  Stream  of 
Light  and  have  come  to know  the "I AM  Presence,"  must 
know  such  discordant  feeling  is not permissible;  for it is 
you who  are being  destroyed,  limited  and  interferred  with. You don't  harm  anyone  else. You  might  affect  them  tem-
porarily,  but  very  little;  especially  you  cannot  affect  the 
Students  of the "I AM,"  who  know  how  to protect  them-
selves. Dear  Hearts,  I could  cite  to you  in your  earthly  ac-
tivity,  thousands  and  thousands  of homes  and  families 
which  have  been  wrecked,  by a sudden  angry  vicious  sen-
tence  or remark. Oh,  as you  value  your  lives,  Beloved  Ones 
of the Light,  never  allow  yourselves  to say an unkind  word, 
about  another  one  of your  fellow  Beings. One  day,  you 
will have  to face  it. Now  in the Onrush  of the Great  Cosmic 
Light  into  the  outer  world,  which  is coming  more  and 
more  quickly,  you  won't  have  so much  time  to escape  it. 158 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
We have  been  compelled  to stand  by and  see happy  fam-
ilies,  happy  husbands  and  wives  separated  by vicious  gos-
sip, in which  there  was  not a Word  of Truth. It is a tragedy 
before  the face  of mankind. That  thing  is done  constantly. Over  the bridge  games,  in the social  gossip  of the world, 
tragedy  is created  each  day. Oh,  the pity,  the pity  of it. Sometimes  people  think  they  can say a word,  a sentence 
of falsehood;  and  they  know  it is false  when  they  say it. Yet that  impulse  comes  on and  acts;  and  then  destruction 
starts  and  it gathers. Homes,  happiness  and  sometimes 
whole  embodiments  are destroyed—by  a thoughtless,  cruel, 
unkind  word. We see. We  have  to see. all of such  unhappiness  acting 
within  mankind. Today  when  the opportunity  is so great 
and Complete  Understanding  is before  you,  in how  to gov-
ern these  things—why  they  produce  certain  effects  and  lim-
itations  upon  mankind—won't  you  join  Us;  every  one  of 
you,  in stopping  instantly  every  attempt  at gossip. Oh,  it 
is the most  frightful  thing  in the activity  of mankind. We 
know  of one  instance  now,  where  the greatest  injustice  is 
being  done;  and  those  who  have  started  it, will  weep  in 
sorrow  for the mistake. I prompt  you,  We want  you  to be Free;  but  you  cannot 
do it, Precious  Ones  of the Light,  as long  as you  allow  these 
qualities  to act in your  feeling  world,  and  give  expression 
to them. There  is no provocation  for these  things. It is only 
because  the old destructive  momentum  generated  by man-
kind,  is acting  in the atmosphere  of Earth;  and  people,  who DISCOURSE  VIII  159 
do not know  how  to protect  themselves,  take  it on. It is like 
one impulse  after  another,  forming  a momentum. The  mo-
ment  people  get too much  gin,  they  begin  to talk. If they 
get a little  excited,  they  begin  to talk. If they  become  a little 
angered,  they  begin  to talk. That  is the human  impulse  of 
the destructive  qualities  within  the human  Being. It is why  under  the old order,  the students  who  went  to 
the Retreat,  were  held  in Absolute  Silence  for from  three 
to five  years. They  never  were  allowed  to speak  a word. That  taught  one  obedience. You  today,  are being  taught 
by the experience  of the outer  world. The Light  is before  you. Use  it, Dear  Ones,  and  have  the 
Blessing  and  the  Freedom  which  It brings. Remember, 
you are the Chooser,  the Decreer  how  this  energy  is going 
to act in your  world. Don't  make  any  mistake  about  it. If you  insist  on allowing  discord  to act within  your  feeling 
world,  falsehood  and  gossip;  then  you  will  reap  those  qual-
ities and  it is a most  unhappy  reaping. So today,  in My  Calling  your  attention  to the Achieve-
ment  which  has been  attained;  whose  Blessing  We  are so 
happy  to have  given  to the Students  of the "I AM"  thruout 
the World;  and  in the prepared  atmosphere  today,  I have 
taken  the opportunity  to prompt  you  again;  not to do the 
things  which  bring  destruction  into  your  world. I thank  you  very  much. DISCOURSE  XIII 
September  18, 1937 
NEW  BEDFORD,  MASSACHUSETTS. Beloved  Students  of America. Great  is your  Privilege. Imperative  is the need  of your  Call  to God,  your  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence";  to release  Its Power  into  the activity  of 
the physical  world,  to give  the Assistance  to mankind  which 
is necessary  today. The world,  as you  commonly  use  the term,  is "on  the 
spot"—before  the Great  Cosmic  Light. It will  not tolerate 
longer  mankind's  tardiness,  let us call  it, in giving  forth 
the assistance  which  is required  today. If you  have  not known  it before,  you  shall  tonight. There 
is no destructive  force  in the Earth  or anywhere  else  which 
is not caused  by human  Beings. The  only  place  where  de-
structive  force  exists  is upon  your  Earth  and  in its atmo-
sphere;  which  is known  as the psychic  or astral  world. Make  no mistake  about  it; in the psychic  or astral  world, 
which  is but discordant  human  creation,  there  is no good 
thing;  and  there  are no gradations  of that  octave  of vibra-
tory action. Everything  of a destructive  nature  which  is generated 
by mankind,  is held  within  that  octave  from  the surface 
of the Earth  up to approximately  seven  thousand  feet. It is 
known  as the astral  or psychic  world;  in which  humanity 
160 DISCOURSE  VIII  161 
is compelled  to move  all the time  unless—observe  the Chart 
—unless  mankind  will  understand  the "I AM  Presence," 
the Individualized  Presence  of God;  and  call It into  action 
to form  about  the outerself  the Tube  of Light,  which  can 
be made  Invincible  to all surrounding  discord. As In-
dividuals  call  the Presence  to do this,  they  will  find  them-
selves  enveloped  in a Tube  of Invincible  Protection;  in 
which  they  can  move  among  mankind,  untouched  by dis-
cord. Students  everywhere  thruout  America,  who  have  been 
earnest  and  sincere  and  called  the Presence  into  action  to 
produce  the  Tube  of Light,  have  had  Its Results. Mrs. Ballard  and  This  Good  Messenger  have  been  compelled  to 
call That  into  action  in order  to survive;  and  they  have  gone 
forth  expanding  the  Activity  of the Light,  untouched  by 
the discord  of the outer  world. So you  too,  Beloved  Ones,  if you  will  call the Presence  to 
formulate  This  Tube  of Light  about  you,  can do the same 
thing. It is a part  of yourself. Observe  the Chart. Again, 
That  Stream  of Light  and  Energy  is you. When  you  call 
the Presence  into  action,  to formulate  This  Tube  of Light 
about  you,  the Higher  Mental  Body  takes  the  Radiance 
from  your  Call  up to the Presence,  which  forms  the Tube 
of Light  and  establishes  It about  you  as definitely  as a wall 
of steel. Remember,  That  Light  which  comes  from  your  Presence 
is Self-Luminous,  Intelligent  Substance;  from  which  every-
thing  in human  form  came  forth  or ever  will  come. Your 162 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
experience  in human  forms,  is but  your  Life  clothed  in 
the more  condensed  discord  of human  feeling;  thru  which 
That  Mighty  Light  and  Energy  is trying  to expand  Per-
fection. Remember,  the  greater  density,  is caused  by the 
discord  which  has  generated  in your  feelings. Discord  is 
the only  thing  which  makes  density  of form. Once  you  free  yourselves  and  your  feeling  world,  which 
is as far as your  hands  extend  around  you—sometimes 
farther—from  every  discord  and  hold  your  world  Har-
monious;  you  wil1  find  the Powers  of the Presence  flowing 
thru;  and  Perfection  will  reign  in your  world. Then,  the 
Limitless  Presence  and  Supply  of everything  you  need  for 
your  use,  will  come  forth  with  the ease  of breathing. It is 
the Natural  Law  of your  Being. You,  thru  discord  have  closed  the door,  by giving  power 
to the  appearance  world;  which  has  not  one  ounce  of 
power,  so far as you  or your  world  are concerned,  except 
what  is given  it. How  do you  do it. By your  attention 
upon  the appearance  of limitations,  which  feeds  your  Life 
into it, to come  back  and  limit  you. Without  your  energy  it 
could  not  touch  your  world;  because  it has  to come  into 
your  world  by your  Stream  of Life  and  Energy,  which  goes 
out thru  the Power  of your  attention. Beloved  Ones,  remember,  you  have  three  faculties  within 
your  Being,  each  one of which  is All-powerful. Your  Atten-
tion;  your  Visualization,  which  is your  physical  eye-sight; 
and your  Power  of Qualification. That  which  is invisible 
to you,  is the thing  which  plays  the greatest  havoc  in your DISCOURSE  VIII  163 
world,  and  it is your  power  of qualification;  because  every-
thing  which  comes  into  your  world,  must  come  THRU 
YOU  into  your  world  of activity. If your  feeling  is discor-
dant,  then  it will  carry  whatever  that  discord  is, into  your 
world  and  produce  of its kind. These  are things  which  mankind  has not understood  and 
the people  have  gone  on, and  on and  on, feeding  discord 
thru  their  feeling. All the time  their  discord  was  being  car-
ried thru  this  Mighty  Current  of Energy  out  into  their 
worlds;  producing  discord,  chaos,  limitation  and  failure. I tell you,  Dear  Ones,  no person  on the face  of this  Earth, 
who  once  becomes  aware  of the "I AM  Presence,"  which 
beats  each  Heart;  who  will  give  It sincere,  earnest  atten-
tion and  call  Its Powers  into  action,  will  ever  find  himself 
or herself  in need  of anything. Individuals  will  have  Omni-
present  in their  worlds  for use,  everything  their  Hearts  de-
sire, and  there  is no exception  to It. The feeling  world  of mankind,  must  be kept  Harmoni-
ous, so it no longer  clothes  with  discord,  this  Energy  which 
flows  from  the Presence  and  goes  out into  the World. That 
Powerful  Energy  will  go out into  your  world  and  produce 
Harmony  and  Perfection  everywhere. Then,  every  one who 
touches  your  world,  will  have  the use of everything  which 
is required. The human  limitation  within  mankind,  has  made  the 
people  feel—because  they  have  forgotten  the "I AM  Pres-
ence"—that  all is here  within  the human  form;  and  its au-
thority  is the intellect. The  people  have  felt it is what  the 164 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Individual  sees  out here,  from  which  they  must  gather  their 
power  of achievement. Behold  the Chart. When  so-called 
death  ensues,  observe  the form  which  was  active  a moment 
before. It no longer  has Power,  Intelligence  nor  Action. Then,  what  happened. Where  was  That  Energy. Where 
was That  Activity. Where  was  That  Power,  by which  the 
human  form  acted  a few  moments  before. Within  the 
Stream  of Energy  which  comes  from  the Heart  of God, 
your  "I AM  Presence". Remember,  Dear  Hearts,  That  Stream  of Light  and  En-
ergy  is not just a Principle;  but It holds  within  It the Intel-
ligence,  the Power,  the Action  which  every  human  Being 
is using  and  requires  in order  to have  action. Then  know-
ing that,  how  can  any  human  Being  in the outer  world, 
claim  Power  unto  its intellect  of itself. It has been  the mis-
take of all mankind. Thru  intellectual  attainment  in all 
outer  activities  of Life;  law,  medicine,  music,  where  the In-
dividual  thru  practice  and  application  of the outer,  has at-
tained  a certain  degree  of mastery,  it has claimed  the Power 
in those  particular  streams  of activity,  according  to their  un-
derstanding  at the time. While  their  attention  was  on the outer  things  and  the 
desire  was  acting,  It was  the Power,  Intelligence  and  Ac-
tivity  of the Presence,  which  gave  them  whatever  achieve-
ment  they  had. When  the people  understand  this and know 
everything  comes  from  the "I AM  Presence"  which  gives 
them  Life;  they  will  place  the Power  where  It belongs. They 
will be enabled  to draw  This  Power  forth  in a Tremen-DISCOURSE  VIII  165 
dously  Greater  Volume;  and  sweep  out of their  worlds, 
every  limiting  discordant  thing,  which  ever  had been  drawn 
there—even  though  the Individual  physically  were  respon-
sible  for it. When  one understands,  how  to call on the Law  of For-
giveness,  for all mistakes  which  have  ever  been  made,  it is 
One of the Greatest  Things  any Individual  can do. Then, 
you prove  to the Presence  you want  to be set Right;  you are 
not claiming  Powers  which  do not belong  to your  physical 
body;  because  all comes  from  your  Presence. When  you call 
to your  "I AM  Presence,"  acknowledging  It as the Only 
Power,  you will be able  to release  into  your  world  of activity 
—from  your  Life  Stream,  This  Great  Power  and  Energy 
which  is without  limit,  exactly  as We are able  to wield  It 
today. Think  of those  Precious  Children—Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and 
Pearl,  whom  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  to Me in 
India  at Chananda's  Home. There  in the Cave  of Blazing 
Light,  they  were  set Free  forever. Today,  think  of it, Be-
loved  Ones. Those  Children  made  that  long  journey  there 
physically. Today,  I have  come  to you. Does  It mean  any-
thing  to you. It might  sound  like  a childish  question;  but 
I say it for a Reason,  even  to the former  students. "Does  that 
mean  anything  to you". Everything  in the world,  Precious 
Ones. Try to follow  Me,  just a few  moments,  in feeling  what 
the Power  and Release  of Our  Power  of Divine  Love  means 
in your  world. While  the Messenger  is repeating  My Words 166 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
to you,  I stand  here  connecting  Myself  with  your  Heart, 
every  one of you. Will  you notice  I do not ask your  permis-
sion. Then  I am enabled  to render  you  a Service  which  the 
outer  could  not possibly  comprehend  at the moment;  but 
THAT,  which  I do for you will continue  forever;  until  you, 
thru your  own  Call  to the Presence,  set yourselves  Free. Dear  Ones,  please  use the Terminology  which  We have 
given  you. The  Words,  "I AM,"  as written  in English  today, 
have  come  down  from  the Beginning  of mankind's  appear-
ance  upon  the Earth. In the Royal  Teton—on  your  map, 
known  as the Grand  Teton,  there  are the Records  of these 
civilizations—every  one  which  has ever  been  on Earth. In 
every  language  which  was  used  during  those  many  civiliza-
tions—the  Words,  "I AM"  as written  in English  today  are 
there;  showing  Those  Two  Words  are the Power  of God. Mankind  needs  to learn  to use Those  Words,  as We do. In any  crisis,  if the Individual  did not think  of anything 
else just for the moment,  and  would  say:  "I AM,"  "I AM," 
"I AM,"  It would  release  the Powers  of the Presence  into 
action. Ofttimes  it would  perform  a so-called  Miracle  for 
him or her, then  and there. That  is the Power  of those  Two 
Words;  and  there  are no two  words  in the vocabulary  of 
human  experience,  which  release  the Power  Those  Two 
Words  do. The  Words,  "God,"  "Divine  Mind,"  "Divinity" 
and all other  Terminology  used  to express  the Godhead,  do 
not contain  the Power  the Words  "I AM"  do. That  is the 
Reason  why  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Use 
of the "I AM"  forth  to mankind  at this time. It is the Power DISCOURSE  VIII  167 
which  sets the people  Free. Why. Because  It is their  own 
Life. Your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  your  Individualized  Pres-
ence  of God  which  beats  your  Heart,  is your  Life;  and  your 
Life contains  everything  which  is for your  Perfection. Be-
loved  Ones,  in That  Stream  of Light  and  Energy  from  your 
Presence,  is everything  required  for the Perfection  of you 
and your  world  and  It is without  limit. Only  as you have 
felt limitation  from  the appearance  world,  have  you limited 
yourselves. It is not the Presence  who  has limited  you. To-
day, you  are in a position  in This  Understanding  of your 
Presence,  to set yourselves  Free  in a comparatively  short 
time. We have  gone  thru  the  experiences  of mankind. My 
Experience  of course  was  a long  time  ago. Beloved  Saint 
Germain  and  Those  who  have  more  recently  made  the 
Ascension—for  instance  the Children,  Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and 
Pearl,  have  been  able  to set themselves  Free. The Beloved  Master,  Jesus,  left the Example  to mankind, 
but who  believed  It. Who  was  willing  to try to fulfill  It. Yet, He said:  "All  These  Things  I have  done,  ye shall  do". Beloved  Ones,  why  is Saint  Germain  the One  today,  Who 
was chosen  by the Great  Cosmic  Light,  to bring  forth  This 
Activity. Because  the Seventh  Ray,  under  which  He is act-
ing, compels  Him  to be the One  to bring  forth  the Freedom 
of mankind. America  being  the "Crystal  Cup"  which  is the 
Freedom  of the Earth,  compels  America  to be the Focal 
Point  of That  Freedom  for the World. It is not a matter 168 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
of any one's  choice. It is a Law,  a Great  Cosmic  Law,  which 
has made  Saint  Germain  the Active,  Individual  for Our 
Freedom. It is the Cosmic  Law  which  has made  America, 
the "Cup"  to release  the Light  of the future. Think  of it, in India,  where  so Great  a Light  has been 
among  a few;  yet the great  mass  of people  in India,  are 
bound  far worse  than  you are.
