I say to you  today,  be sure 
your  feeling  is following  the activity  of your  attention. Then,  what  do I mean  by that  in regard  to the Violet 
Consuming  Flame? If you  say just  from  your  neck  up: 
" 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'! dissolve  and  consume  all my 
discordant  accumulation  by the Power  of the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame,"  a slight  result  is produced;  but if you  are 
aware,  your  feeling  is sustaining  your  call,  then  you  will 
find Results  which  are astonishing,  take  place  in your  Life. Watch  your  feeling  follows  your  Call  or the Power  of your 
attention  in everything  you  do. Whether  it be in your  outer 
business  or what  it is, makes  no difference;  the same  Law  is 
acting,  whether  it is for your  own  Purification  or your  bus-
iness. As you  understand  this,  you  will  compel  your  feeling  to 
arise  as it were,  and  go forth  on the Power  of your  attention. That  is the Power  of Accomplishment. You  have  heard  Us 
say mankind  in the past  has used  only  one of the Trinity  of 
Action;  sometimes  Power,  sometimes  Divine  Love,  some-
times  Wisdom;  but just  one  in itself,  is not sufficient  in the 
World  today. Divine  Love  is not sufficient,  because  It lacks DISCOURSE  XVIII  265 
the Discrimination,  which  is within  Wisdom;  and  on the 
other  hand,  if Power  is not acting  the  force  of action  is 
lacking,  to produce  quick  results. Today,  in order  to relieve  mankind  from  the mistakes  of 
the past,  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  forth  This  Under-
standing  and  the Eye  Picture  before  you  of your  own  God 
Presence;  which  compels  Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  to act 
in Perfect  Balance  at your  call to the "I AM  Presence." You 
will see then  how  constant,  how  definite  it has  made  the 
Balanced  Action  of Life  in you  and  your  world. Without 
It, you  only  have  partial  results,  because  one  element  has 
been  missing,  sometimes  two;  but today  in the Call  to your 
Presence,  there  cannot  be anything  lacking  or missing  in 
the Total  Result,  and  the Completeness  of It which  you 
require. As you  understand  this,  you  will  see how  Self-evident  it 
is, and  with  that  will  come  an ease,  rest  and  confidence  in 
your  feeling,  which  never  was  there  before. This  is what 
your  feeling  needs. It has been  so accustomed  to agitation, 
worry,  disturbance,  doubts  and  fear. Oh yes,  disturbed  feel-
ing has  been  acting  a thousand  times,  when  you  did  not 
even  imagine  it! That  is the worst  part  of it. If you  were 
only  aware  of all these  things,  you  could  stop  them;  but if 
you are unaware  of them,  how  can you  stop  them  or have 
any effect  upon  them  ? In the Great  Understanding  of This  Law  of the "I AM 
Presence,"  again  you  have  the Same  Trinity  of Action  thru 
your  physical  form,  which  is called  forth  from  your  Pres-266 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ence,  and  again  it is the Balancing  Activity. You  have  your 
vision,  your  attention  and  your  power  of qualification;  act-
ing within  the human  form  and  feeling  world. It again  is 
the Balance;  cooperating  Perfectly  with  the  Call  to the 
Presence,  which  is Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  in Action. Dear  Ones,  if you  were  to see in the past,  how  your  Power 
of qualification  has been  acting  and  clothing  your  Energy, 
producing  just  the opposite  results  from  which  you  intend, 
you would  be so astonished! No words  could  explain. To-
day, that  is fast being  remedied;  and  as We watch  the Activ-
ity within  the Life  Streams  of Individuals  who  are earnest, 
sincere  students,  We see the constant  change. In eighty  per-
cent—notice  how  tremendous—in  eighty  percent,  the re-
sults  are tremendous. I touch  upon  this  point  to give  you  the Strength,  and  En-
couragement,  to know  you  are not failing  in your  Applica-
tion;  not  even  the one  who  is producing  the least  results. Please  feel This;  for who  of you shall  say what  moment,  you 
will strike  a Certain  Vibratory  Action. The  Power  of your 
Presence  releases  in one  tremendous  sweep,  and  brings  you 
to the point  of Balance,  wherein  comes  the Great  Release 
from  your  Presence,  governing  all activities  in your  world. Sometimes  Individuals  have  thought  in the  Magazine, 
there  were  contradictions  of that  which  is in the books. It 
is not so! Dear  Ones,  the books  give  the Fundamental  Law 
of Life! In the Magazine,  different  angles  of that  Law  are 
touched  upon;  and  if there  seems  to be a contradiction,  re-
member  it is only  referring  to Another  Activity,  another DISCOURSE  XVIII  267 
Explanation  of the Same  Mighty  Thing. So do not let your 
human  mind  begin  to feel,  there  are contradictions  in This 
Activity. It is impossible  in the Ascended  Masters'  Work. So if there  seems  to be, it is just  a lack  of discrimination 
within  the human  intellect,  which  makes  you  feel it for the 
moment,  because  of the suggestion  which  is given  forth. There  are a few unfortunate  Individuals  who  have  spread 
the falsehood,  the Ascended  Masters  had  made  mistakes; 
the Messengers  had  made  mistakes;  and  in Beloved  Saint 
Germain's  dismissal  of certain  Individuals,  said:  "Could  an 
Ascended  Master  have  written  Those  Words"  ? Well,  They 
just did! Because  it was  imperative  to place  that  human 
viciousness  where  it could  no longer  misrepresent  the 
Truth,  in the pretense  of representing  This  Law. Every  Individual  who  condemns  the  Messengers  and 
This  Work,  will  find  himself  or herself  out of the Radiance 
of the Ascended  Masters. Not  only  that,  but  those  Indi-
viduals  say:  "I still  have  my Presence." I wonder! Do they? They  still  have  their  Presence  attached  to their  physical 
Hearts;  but  they  do not  stop  to see their  viciousness  re-
leased  toward  persons,  places  and  conditions,  clothes  every 
ounce  of the energy  which  goes  into  their  Beings  with  de-
structive  qualities! Therefore,  they  have  shut  off the Per-
fection  of their  own  Presence,  from  acting  in their  worlds. Do you  not see its Beloved  Ones  ? It does  not make  any 
difference  what  the provocation  is; not only  the Messengers 
and This  Activity,  but whoever  once  has known  This  Law 
and then  allows  viciousness  or discord  to control,  is creating 268 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
that one's  own  destruction;  and  if you  will  watch,  you  will 
see it done. There  is nothing  can stop  it but themselves! We plead  with  the  people  and  give  them  the  Correct 
Understanding  of the Law. Many  still  go on believing,  they 
can send  forth  any  feeling  they  choose  and  not reap  the re-
sults! Such  a thing  is impossible! I am  not  condemning 
those  unfortunate  Individuals,  but  I am  citing  the  Law 
which  acts! The  Law  of Life  is no respector  of persons! It 
is cause  sent  forth,  which  produces  effect,  and  that  is all 
there  is to it! It is the Law  of Life  acting  and  nothing  but 
themselves  can  change  It, as long  as they  hold  to such  a 
vicious  attitude. Therefore,  I say  to you  ladies  and  gentlemen,  in your 
activity  of the outer  world,  if somebody  has done  a wrong 
to you,  please  do not let yourselves  become  angry  or feel 
vicious  toward  that  one;  because  then  you  are harming 
yourselves! They  cannot  harm  you. Suppose  one  swept 
away  from  you  all the money  you  had;  do you  think  for 
one moment,  that  can interfere  with  your  Great  Life  acting 
to again  produce  more;  if you  hold  your  feeling  harmoni-
ous, and  pour  forth  Kindness  and  Blessing  to that  unfortu-
nate  Individual? The  one  depriving  you  temporarily,  is the 
one who  is most  unfortunate,  not you. If only  blessed  mankind  could  understand  this. In the 
experience  of the depression  a few  short  years  ago,  what  a 
Release  would  have  come. How  those  within  the next  five 
years  following,  would  have  restored  all their  loss,  if they 
had known  this  "I AM  Presence";  and  how  to call It into DISCOURSE  XVIII  269 
action. Because  the Same  Power  and  Intelligence  is there  in 
the Individual,  which  was  there  before  the loss,  so-called, 
took  place. If you  and  mankind  will  understand  These  Laws  and 
utilize  Them,  there  is not  a thing  acting  in this  World, 
which  can  harm  or deprive  you! That  is why  I say today, 
according  to the Great  Cosmic  Law,  there  is no one  in the 
World  who  has wealth,  who  is sure  of sustaining  it, without 
the Knowledge  of This  Presence. The  very  forces  of human 
destructive  creation  are pounding  at these  Individuals  to try 
and deprive  them. Every  one  of mankind  who  will  hold 
himself  or herself  harmonious;  accept  the "I AM  Presence" 
as the Treasure-house;  refuse  to be agitated  or disturbed  by 
the appearance  of the outer  world;  will  find  his or her own 
individual  world,  supplied  abundantly  with  every  good 
thing. Allow  Me to cite you  to the Messengers. My dear  people, 
they  are the Greatest  Living  Example  of This  Law  in the 
World. They  started  out in Chicago  without  money,  except 
enough  to get to Philadelphia,  trusting  the Presence. Not 
only  trusting,  but calling  It into  action  with  the most  dy-
namic  power  you  ever  witnessed. See what  has been  done 
in three  and  a half  years—unparalleled  in the history  of 
the Earth  by two  people,  without  one  word  of advertising 
to the outside  world. They  proved  the Law  absolutely  in 
their  financial  supply  in the Call  to the Presence;  to bring 
to them  the people  who  could  accept  This  Law  and  have 
This  Freedom,  and  to keep  out all others. 270 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Therefore,  one  has but to look  at the action  of the Law 
and see there  Its Fulfilment  without  question. That  is why 
I cite  these  things  to you,  so you  may  see they  have  been 
the Fulfilment  of the Law  and  are today. Never  was  such  viciousness  driven  at any  two  human 
Beings  on Earth  as has been  at them. Why  ? Because  the 
destructive  qualities  of mankind  know  This  Light  is their 
annulment;  know  it is the Freedom  of all mankind. That 
is the only  reason! Individuals  allow  themselves  to be made 
claws  of the destructive  force,  to try to interfere  with  This 
Activity,  but they  have  no power  to do it! As you  understand  These  Laws,  when  disturbing  con-
ditions  confront  you,  your  attitude  should  be your  Call  to 
the Light;  so far as your  own  Protection  and  the Harmoniz-
ing of your  world  is concerned. Then  the Full  Result  and 
Power  of your  Presence  may  come  forth. I tell you,  Dear 
Ones,  it is not a matter  of persons,  places  nor conditions! It 
is a matter  of the Harmony  in your  own  feeling,  which 
allows  the Power  of the Presence  to flow  forth  and  produce 
these  NATURAL  CONDITIONS  for  you. It will  do it 
every  time! There  is no such  thing  as failure  in This  Light; 
because  It is Light  which  goes  into  action  and  knows  no 
resistance. Even  the destructive  quality  of mankind  never 
attempts  to interfere  with  the Light,  because  it knows,  it 
cannot  do it. As you  look  upon  It as Self-luminous  Intelligent  Sub-
stance,  you  know  your  Call  is compelled  to be answered,  by 
the very  Light  which  beats  your  Heart  and  gives  you  ac-DISCOURSE  XVIII  271 
tivity. Today,  people  have  within  their  grasp,  the Scepter  of 
their  own  Freedom  and  Dominion  over  the conditions  of 
Earth. Believe  Me Dear  Hearts,  when  I say there  is not one 
of you,  who  cannot  stand  in the  midst  of everything—I 
mean  in the Power  of your  Presence,  and  remain  untouched 
by the disturbance  around  you. Go on, and  on, and  on, into 
the Perfection  and  Freedom,  which  your  Heart  knows  is 
True  and  which  you  crave  and  want. At first,  when  you  enter  This  Great  Stream  of Light,  it 
means  a Great  Firm  Determined  Stand  to the Light;  and 
the refusal  to accept  the gossip  of mankind  from  those  who 
do not understand. Therefore,  all who  are strong  enough 
to do that,  will  go forward,  on, and  on, and  on. You as Individuals  who  are not  Group  Leaders,  have 
only  to be concerned  about  your  own  individual  world, 
aside  from  your  Decrees  for the blessing  of America;  but 
the Messengers  have  been  the focus  of all the viciousness 
of mankind,  and  they  have  remained  untouched  by It! They  always  will,  but it is because  of their  dynamic  Appli-
cation;  and  they  still  do it and  will  as long  as they  are serv-
ing in the outer  world! It is imperative! until  Individuals  have  made  their  As-
cension. You  cannot  be Free,  without  your  own  dynamic 
Application,  because  you  are moving  in the seething  vortex 
of human  discordant  creation  all the time. I thank  you  with  all My  Heart  for your  attention;  and 
for that  which  has been  anchored  within  your  feeling  world 
to bless  you. Oh,  it is not  just  the  Words  which  I have 272 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
spoken;  they  but hold  your  attention,  while  into  your  feel-
ing world,  is the Power  of Light  anchored  to bless  you 
forever. It is Our  Great  Victory  for your  assistance. In these 
wondrous  groups  it is the response,  which  makes  it possible 
for Us to anchor  Our  Power  of Light  into  your  feeling 
world;  which  not only  dissolves  and  purifies;  but gives  you 
a Strength  and  Courage  which  sets  you  Free,  if you  but 
realize  it. Things  which  bothered  and  disturbed  you  before,  will 
never  do it after  today;  if you  will  just  keep  yourself  re-
minded  of this. Oh,  I want  you  to know  so much,  how 
Really  Free  you  are. I hope,  I trust  for those  who  attend 
This  Class,  before  the ten days  are past,  it will  be My  Joy 
to dissolve  and  consume  the human  accumulation  of ninety 
percent  of all who  are present. You  may  be sure,  Beloved 
Ones,  to the limit  the Great  Law  of Life  permits,  will  this 
be done,  not only  for your  Freedom;  but the Greater  Assist-
ance  you  may  give,  for the Blessing  of mankind  and  the 
Protection  of America. We have  watched  the Individuals  for whom  this  has been 
done. The  release  of their  energy,  their  substance  for use 
has in most  instances  been  ten times  that  which  was  released 
before  it was  done. So you know  what  It means  in your  own 
individual  lives,  as well  as the Assistance  for America. Today,  Our  Rejoicing  is very  great. If you  only  knew 
what  the Freedom  of your  America  means  to you;  and  how 
those  vicious  claws  have  tried  to enter  into  your  govern-
ment. They  have  tried  to enter  into  your  industries;  tried DISCOURSE  XVIII  273 
to prevent  your  aerial  service;  trying  to cripple  your  Be-
loved  America;  and  this excess  taxation  tries  to enslave  you; 
which  is always  the signal  for the final  enslavement  of all 
mankind! Oh,  Dear  People,  it is quite  different  this  time 
than  ever  before;  for when  the flood  of Cosmic  Light  strikes 
the mass  of the people,  then  courage  goes  forth;  and  they 
arise  and  annihilate  their  own  would-be  destroyers. That  is not  sufficient. Take  Russia  today  for instance! One man  has  been  traded  for another  continuously,  since 
the Czar  was  disposed  of. Just  changing  one  effect  for an-
other. That  is not sufficient;  but  from  the Heart  of those 
people—there  must  arise  a mighty  sincere  Honest  Individ-
ual, whom  the people  will  at once  see is their  friend;  and 
then  would  come  the solution  of the same  problem  in every 
country  in the world. Treachery  and  deceit  in high  places,  has  brought  the 
distrust  of the mass  of mankind  and  they  do not  know 
upon  whom  they  can depend;  but as the Cosmic  Light  in-
creases  Its Intensification  in the Earth,  We  are trying  to so 
adjust  It, there  will  be raised  up in those  countries—Individ-
uals of Power,  which  will  call  forth  the Power  of Light  to 
sustain  them  in their  Honesty,  Honor,  Integrity  and  Bless-
ing to their  fellow-man. It is the only  hope! We hope  they  will  reach  a great  fruition;  and  possibly 
as We find  progress,  We may  ask the Students  of the United 
States  to add  a special  Decree  for this. You  have  been  using 
the Decree  that  Ascended  Master  Friends  be raised  up 
everywhere—a  most  magnificent  thing;  but  now  decree  a 274 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Great  Honest,  Honorable  Individual  whose  Light  is strong 
enough,  be raised  up in every  country  in Europe;  and  the 
confidence  of the people  rest there;  so the Power  of Light's 
Constructive  Activity  takes  Its Dominion. One more  thing  I want  to say to you. You  may  not com-
prehend  it; but at least  in your  attention,  you  can and  con-
template  it, if you  will. Beginning  in this  Class,  there  will 
go forth  a Power  of Radiation  to Russia  and  her people,  to 
try to bring  the Great—the  vast  Remedy  which  is needed. Should  this become  victorious,  then  you  can feel a Gratitude 
and Service  rendered  which  will  be beyond  all words  to 
describe. Remember,  the beginning  of this  destructive  ele-
ment  was  in Russia,  in connection  with  the three  individ-
uals in New  York,  who  started  this  frightful  destruction  to 
mankind  and  the Earth. Once  not  so long  ago,  We  thought  there  seemed  to be 
no hope  to bring  this  transformation  into  Russia;  but recent 
evidence  there,  has given  Us renewed  hope;  so We will  do 
Our Utmost  to pour  forth  a Radiation  to the mass  of her 
people;  to do what  We  could  scarcely  hope  for a short 
time  ago. You are not only  solving  your  own  problems  and  holding 
America's  Protection;  but  see how  It is reaching  into  the 
Whole  Earth! It seems  so fragmentary  to you  I know,  but 
in every  country  in the World,  there  are Groups  of "I AM" 
Students;  some  places  small,  but enough  so We may  focus 
This  Mighty  Power  of Light  at those  points. In South  Africa,  where  as Washington's  Vision  has DISCOURSE  XVIII  275 
shown,  was  to arise  that  great  cloud  to submerge  America; 
there  has  been  drawn  and  established  a Mighty  Sincere 
Group  of "I AM"  Students. It is magnificent! Shall  I tell 
you what  they  said  concerning  some  destructive  literature 
which  went  even  to Africa? You  know  how  the sinister 
thing,  tries  to do such  things,  tries  to spread  its destruction 
everywhere. When  its destructive  literature  reached  those 
students,  momentarily  they  were  shocked. Then  they  gath-
ered  themselves  together  and  said:  "Well  if those  Messen-
gers are good  enough  for the Ascended  Masters,  then  they 
are good  enough  for us,"  and  they  dispelled  the whole  thing 
at once! That  was  magnificent,  and  what  A Great  Truth 
they  uttered! Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  you  see how  these  destructive 
elements  have  no power,  if there  is only  a Nucleus  for this 
Anchor  of the Light  within  a place  or locality. In the var-
ious countries  of Europe,  wonderful  sincere  Groups  of Stu-
dents  are applying  these  Decrees  with  dynamic  Power;  and 
We shall  give  them  more  than  Ordinary  Assistance,  you 
can be sure! I want  you  to know  how  great  is your  Blessing  and  Priv-
ilege. This  Light,  your  "I AM  Presence,"  your  Life,  is the 
Freedom  of yourself  and  the World. So let us enter  in with 
renewed  Enthusiasm,  Joy  and  Energy  into  your  Decree 
Work,  for It releases  the Substance  required. You  cannot 
help  but know,  as you  render  This  Service  to America  and 
mankind,  it would  be impossible  for you  not to have  your 
own  Freedom. 276 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Just one  more  word  concerning  your  finances. Dear 
Hearts,  please  accept  this  and  feel  it with  all the Power  of 
your  Being! There  is not one  of you  here,  or among  the 
"I AM"  Students,  who  is earnest  and  sincere,  who  could 
not before  retiring,  stand  and  raise  your  hands  to the Pres-
ence  something  like  this  and  then  say:  "'Mighty  I AM 
Presence!' I refuse  acceptance  of any  financial  limitation 
any longer! I positively  refuse  it! Take  command  of me 
and my feeling  world! Release  thru  Your  Power  of Divine 
Love,  the supply  of money  I require  now!" There  is not one  of you  who  could  not have  it released 
in forty-eight  hours,  if you  would  only  realize  it. Try  to 
feel that,  with  renewed  enthusiasm  and  a Tremendous  Re-
lease  of energy. It will  bring  about  your  Freedom  in this 
respect,  so It gives  you  rest  and  Peace  in your  feeling,  that 
your  Application  does  tremendously  more  in all you  re-
quire. I am  determined,  if you  will  allow  Me,  to assist  every 
sincere  "I AM"  Student  in America  to be Free,  from  all 
feeling  of financial  limitation. Such  a thing  is not possible 
in the Understanding  of your  "I AM  Presence." If there 
has been  a great  momentum  built,  by the human  sense  of 
limitation;  then  call your  Presence  to dissolve  and  consume 
every  vestige  of it in your  feeling  world;  because  your  feel-
ing world  is your  Power-house,  and  there  is where  the 
things  act. There  cannot  one thing  Out-picture  in your  physical  body 
which  does  not have  its cause  in your  feeling  world,  and DISCOURSE  XVIII  277 
just remember  that. I call  into  action  today,  the Mighty 
Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  to take  command  of your  mind,  body,  your  feeling 
and your  world  of activity;  produce  Its Perfection  and  hold 
Its Dominion,  and  bring  to everyone  his or her complete 
financial  release  from  all limitations. Take  out of each  one's 
feeling  world  every  feeling,  which  has  accepted  financial 
limitation,  because  of the appearance  world! Set all Free, 
Great  Presence  of Life,  and  give  them  such  Courage  and 
Strength,  Joy and  Enthusiasm  in their  Application;  the re-
sults  become  so instantaneous,  that  all doubts  and  fears  van-
ish from  their  world  forever. In the Power  of Our  Great  Light;  Goddess  of Liberty, 
Victory  and  Goddess  of Light! in Thy  Trinity  of Action, 
clothe  these  Beloved  Ones  in Thy  Garments  of Light; 
which  hold  Thy  Radiance  in constant  action  about  them; 
fills and  charges  their  worlds  with  Thy  Dynamic  Action  of 
Courage,  Strength  and  Victory  of the Light! I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XVIII 
April  24,  /93S 
DETROIT,  MICHIGAN. Beloved  Students  of Detroit,  I am grateful  for this  op-
portunity  to render  a Service  to you  today,  in preparation 
for the coming  Class,  which  I trust  will  be acceptable  to 
all of you. The  need  of mankind  today,  is warding  off the 
destructive  conditions  which  exist,  where  destructive  In-
dividuals  are trying  to impose  themselves  upon  mankind. We firmly  believe  with  your  co-operation,  that  ninety  per-
cent of the destructive  intent  which  it was  thought  would 
be released  upon  mankind,  may  be avoided. I am saying  this  for the first  time  in Our  Experience,  or 
the Messenger's  experience,  in conveying  it to mankind. So much  has  been  accomplished  by the Mighty  Decrees 
of the students,  thruout  America  and  the World. We Our-
selves  could  not have  believed,  We could  find  such  response 
from  mankind. I say to you  Beloved  Ones,  you  will  never 
know  until  you  are Ascended  Beings,  the Service  you  have 
rendered. So many  times,  you  have  thought  you  were  not 
rendering  much  Service,  yet you  were  earnest  and  sincere 
in releasing  These  Mighty  Decrees. It is very  wonderful  and 
it has  made  possible  so much,  which  We  could  scarcely 
have  hoped  for,  that  Our  Rejoicing  I think,  is far greater 
than  yours. 278 DISCOURSE  XVIII  279 
On the opening  day  of This  Class,  there  will  be a Greater 
Release  and  Action  of the Cosmic  Light  into  the human 
octave,  than  has  been  thus  far. It means  everything. The 
Messengers  even  do not know  it; but why  do you  suppose 
it happened  that  you  have  a twelve  day  Class  here  ? The 
Messengers  started  in to have  a ten day  Class  as usual,  but 
it so happened  it became  a twelve  day  Class. There  must 
have  been  a far Greater  Reason  for It than  the outer  human 
knows. Will  you  please  give  attention  and  comprehend 
these  things  which  seem  just  ordinary? From  the  Inner 
Standpoint,  they  are most  extraordinary;  because  It is the 
Action  of the Divine  Law  of your  Being,  or shall  We  say 
the Being  of Life. Because  of what  will  be released,  not only  for your  blessed 
selves  here  and  the people  of Detroit,  who  may  not even 
be interested,  Its far reaching  Activity  will  pour  out into  the 
World. That  is the reason  why  this has become  a twelve  day 
Class. Even  the blessed  ones  who  are in charge  of the Ca-
thedral,  thought  those  two  days  were  taken;  yet  it was 
found  they  were  not. There  is a Governing  Power  and  In-
telligence,  Precious  People  which  once  you  comprehend 
It makes  you  stand  firm. The  Understanding  and  Ac-
knowledgment  of your  Power  to use  these  Inner  Laws, 
frees  you  from  human  conditions. You  bring  these  Laws 
into action  in the human  octave. Then  you  will  understand, 
you are no longer  subject  to the conditions  which  exist  here. Believe  Me when  I say,  you  can move  in the world  un-
touched  by the conditions  about  you;  if you  are firm  enough 305 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
in the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence. It will  release  Its 
Tube  of Light  about  your  human  body  and  your  feeling 
world;  to make  you  Invincible  to the impact  of human  cre-
ation  around  you. (Wave  of hand  which  repels.) Beloved 
Ones,  if you  saw  from  Our  Standpoint,  as you move  among 
the creations  of mankind,  you  would  see a sudden  action, 
constantly  sending  its impact  against  the human  form. If you  do not believe  in, understand  or call  your  "I AM 
Presence"  into  action,  to hold  Its Tube  of Light  about  you, 
discordant  conditions  constantly  affect  you  just  like  that— 
(waving  motion  of hand)  everywhere  you  move. When 
discord  reaches  into  your  physical  body  and  affects  you 
physically,  it has first  acted  in your  feeling  world. Most  of 
the time,  you  are wholly  unaware  of it, except  when  you 
are conscious  of some  disturbance. As you  come  to comprehend  these  Simple  Laws,  every-
thing  is just  the Natural  Practical  Law  of Life;  which  it 
is your  Right  and  Privilege  to use in the Fuller  Understand-
ing, to which  you  have  not yet become  accustomed. It does 
not make  any  difference  what  your  manifestations  have 
been  up to date,  in your  Acknowledgment  of the Presence 
of Life;  it is nothing,  to what  you  can  call  into  action,  as 
you go forth! Pardon  Me,  if I digress  just  a moment,  since  the Vibra-
tory Action  is Right. I want  to place  this  before  you. In 
all the seeming  opposition  to This  "I AM"  Activity—for 
no reason  at all, and  all the falsehoods  which  have  been 
uttered  concerning  the Messengers  and  the Work,  during DISCOURSE  XVIII  281 
the Washington  Class;  the Great  Cosmic  Laws  were  set 
into action,  which  will  cause  opposition  to disappear  from 
the Earth! Watch  it! We do not talk  to hear  Ourselves,  but 
We state  Laws. We never  refer  to a personality,  when  We 
are stating  These  Laws;  except  in some  specific  instance, 
where  work  was  required. Know  and  feel  the Power  in the last Decree  you  issued 
in the opening  of the meeting! If you  know  that  Decree 
with  the  All-power  of your  feeling,  you  will  find  your 
world  adamant  against  human  disturbing  conditions! When  you  can say to all the appearance  world  and  human 
creation:  "You  have  no power"! Mean  It and  feel  It with 
the Infinite  Power  of Light! which  is your  Being,  then 
you will  find  yourselves  Invincible  within  the Presence  of 
Light! It is Invincible  and  you  can  move  in the  world 
everywhere,  releasing  the Inner  Power;  and  yet not accept-
ing the outer  into  your  feeling  world,  which  limits  and  dis-
turbs  you. Therefore,  today  as the atmosphere  becomes  more  and 
more  stilled  and  harmonized  in the room;  I want  to render 
for you  a Service,  which  it has been  My Joy so many  times 
to do! It is the releasing  and  dissolving  wherever  possible 
of your  human  creation. So you may  have  a Greater  Release 
from  the pressure  which  has often  caused  you  to fail in the 
achievement,  which  you  would  so love  to have  had. Let Me urge  you  today,  to no longer  give  power  to per-
sons,  places  or conditions  to interrupt,  interfere  with—or 
limit  you  in any  way! Now  in order  to comprehend  this, 282 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
you must  realize  not one thing  can enter  your  world  or any 
condition  whatever,  except  thru  your  attention,  by which 
you connect  your  own  Life  Stream  with  it. It is IMPOS-
SIBLE  FOR  ANYTHING  TO  REACH  OR  ENTER 
YOUR  WORLD  WITHOUT  YOUR  ATTENTION 
UPON  IT. That  is why,  Beloved  Ones,  today,  please  close  the door 
and seal  it, on everything  which  has  been  in the past—up 
to this  hour! Close  it now  and  let Me help  you  to close  that 
door! Lock  it and  seal  it, so not once  again,  does  your  at-
tention  ever  go back  to what  has been,  whether  it is good, 
bad or indifferent! Erase  it! Shut  the door! Then  as you 
turn  and  face  your  "I AM  Presence,"  know  henceforth, 
only  Its Intelligence,  Presence  and  Power,  with  all Its Glory 
and Harmony,  are acting  in and  thru  your  body  and  feeling 
world. Then,  you  will  rejoice  so much  at the changed  con-
ditions. Your  Life,  world  and  activity  will  be filled  with 
successful  achievement,  with  happiness  which  you  cannot 
comprehend,  until  you  do that! Beloved  Ones,  do you  think  what  you  have  called  hap-
piness  up to this  time,  is Real  Happiness  ? Oh,  you  cannot 
believe  how  Great  the  Happiness  from  your  Presence  is, 
until  you  begin  to experience  It. I tell you,  the Happiness 
in the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence,  is the only  Real 
Source  of Happiness  in This  Universe. It continues  to pour 
in at your  Call  and  as you realize  the imperative  need,  is for 
you to keep  your  feeling  harmonious. Then  no longer  your 
qualification  of discord  clothes  your  Life  Energy. You  will DISCOURSE  XVIII  283 
feel and  know  definitely,  the Energy  has poured  forth  just 
like a Mighty  River  out into  your  world  of action—harmo-
nizing  everything  and  holding  Its Dominion. When  some-
thing  is required,  and  you  hold  the Harmony;  then  by a 
Decree,  it comes  forth  and  acts  in your  world  with  the 
Speed  of Lightning. That  is the Law  and  Action  of the  "I AM  Presence." There  are thousands  and  thousands  of the students  today, 
who  have  experienced  It time,  and  time  again. They  are 
realizing  the only  reason  why  their  application  has not pro-
duced  extraordinary  results  in the  past,  was  because  un-
known  to themselves,  discord  was  still acting  in the feeling. While  the intellect  was  refusing  it, still  in the feeling  the 
qualification  of discord  was  going  on;  qualifying  the en-
ergy  with  the discord  of the past. You  cannot  afford  to do 
that! YOU  MUST,  BELOVED  ONES,  TAKE  YOUR 
STAND  AND  SHUT  THAT  THING  OFF  OR  SAY 
TO YOUR  FEELING:  "STOP! BE  SILENT"! TURN 
YOUR  ATTENTION  TO  THE  PRESENCE  AND 
HAVE  ITS  GLORY  AND  BLESSING. You do not perhaps  realize,  how  firm  you  must  be, to-
ward  your  own  feeling  world. When  it has gained  a mo-
mentum  of centuries,  you  are under  its pressure. You  might 
say to Me:  "Well  suppose  I don't  know  I have  lived  before  ? Do I still  have  the accumulation  of the centuries  in this 
embodiment"? Yes! I will  explain  to you  why. Because 
in all of the accumulation  of the centuries,  even  though 
you did  not know  it could  be dissolved;  if you  have  not 284 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
set the Law  of Life  into  action  which  would  dissolve  it, 
then  it still  remains. All the  accumulation,  all the  discord  which  has  been 
in your  experience  of the past,  still  remains  about  you  and 
in your  world. Believe  it or not! You  meet  all that  accumu-
lation,  when  you  come  back  into  this  embodiment. It is just 
waiting  there  for you,  because  it belongs  to you;  and  you 
cannot  get away  from  it, until  you  know  this Presence  of all 
Life;  and  call It to use the Violet  Consuming  Flame  to dis-
solve  and  consume  every  bit of your  accumulation  of dis-
cord. The  Mercy  or Glory  of your  Presence,  will  at your 
call, dissolve  and  consume  every  particle  of your  accumula-
tion of discord  of the centuries;  in a few  weeks  or a few 
months  at most,  if the person  is very  sincere  and  in earnest! Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  you  have  in your  hands  the 
Dominion  to set yourselves  wholly  Free,  no matter  what 
the mistakes  of the past  have  been. Is there  any  Greater 
Mercy  than  the Presence  of Life,  which  says  to wayward 
mankind:  " 'I AM'  not interested  in your  mistakes! I want 
you to be Free! As quick  as you  will  listen  to Me,  and  turn 
away  from  whatever  has  caused  you  to create  the discord 
and limitations  which  you  experience,  then  'I AM'  ready! 'I AM'  the Presence  of all Life,  ready  to forgive  your  mis-
takes,  at your  Call  on the Law  of Forgiveness! 'I AM'  ready 
to forget  all which  has been;  and  then  set the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame  into  action  to dissolve  and  consume  every 
particle  of that  for you." ? Do you  know,  every  one of blessed  mankind  is so good  at DISCOURSE  XVIII  285 
Heart;  but  because  destructive  conditions  have  beset  the 
people  sometimes,  it has made  them  feel  almost  fiendish. That  does  not belong  to them—never! It is an imposed  con-
dition  from  the generated  creation  of mankind's  discord. The Blessed  Ones  do not know  that  and  sometimes  yield 
to destructive  force;  causing  themselves  to loose  their  phys-
ical Freedom  for an entire  embodiment. Look  at your  institutions,  your  asylums,  youi  institutions 
of incarceration,  your  prisons,  full  to running  over. Why  ? Because  mankind  not  understanding,  has  yielded  to this 
impact  and  impulse  of human  discordant  creation. The 
people  do not understand  their  power  of qualification  and 
what  their  attention  does  in continuous  attention  held  upon 
hate,  anger,  condemnation  or whatever  the destructive  con-
dition  may  be. They  have  gone  thru  into  the octave  or 
stratum,  where  all the discordant  accumulation  of mankind 
is gathered;  and  it has rushed  in upon  them  and  they  are 
helpless  before  it. Beloved  Students  and  people  of Detroit! If mankind  un-
derstood  that  one  point  alone,  it would  be worth  a whole 
life-time  of experience;  if Individuals  really  grasped  what  it 
means! People  have  gone  serenely  along  in their  limita-
tions;  not  knowing  every  time  they  give  way  to some  dis-
cordant  thing,  if it be continued  long  enough,  they  will  go 
thru  into  the mass  accumulation  of the discord,  and  the 
mass  pressure  will  rush  in upon  them! Beloved  Students,  whom  We love  so greatly,  please  listen 
to Us and  give  obedience  to your  Law  of Life,  understand-286 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ing every  time  you yield  in your  feeling  to discord,  criticism, 
condemnation,  judgment  or any  of those  qualities,  which 
are destructive;  you  will  invite  the whole  mass  creation  to 
enter  your  world  and  act there! Because  previous  under-
standing  has caused  Individuals  to believe  they  were  justi-
fied in self-protection;  or whatever  you  choose  to call  it, 
does  not change  the Action  of the Law  of Energy! In the 
old statement,  think  of it! "An  eye for an eye and  a tooth 
for a tooth,"  which  meant  beat  the other  fellow  to it, in all 
those  destructive  qualities. That  is just exactly  what  man-
kind  has been  doing  thru  the centuries! One man  of power—human  power,  says  to his associates: 
"Let's  have  a war,"  and  he proceeds  to agitate  certain  ac-
tivities  of mankind  to produce  it! For  what? Praise  to the 
"Great  I AM  Presence"  of Life,  mankind  for the first  time 
in the history  of the world,  is awakening  to what  the war 
forces  are doing! Now,  the Great  Cosmic  Light  has said  to unhappy  man-
kind:  "Your  accumulation  has become  too great!" and  to 
the Great  Ascended  Masters,  It has said:  "Let  us help  once 
again  and  give  the people  one  more  opportunity  to free 
themselves  from  these  conditions;  and  explain  to them  in 
a simple  manner,  why  the conditions  have  existed  thruout 
the centuries  which  get beyond  their  control." It is all just 
because  mankind  has not understood  the Presence  of Life! As you  value  everything  which  you  hold  dear  in your 
Life and  the future  of the centuries  before  you,  REMEM-
BER  THAT  CHART  IS CORRECT! It gives  you the ex-DISCOURSE  XVIII  287 
act eye picture  of your  position  physically  to your  own  God 
Presence,  the "Mighty  I AM";  and  unless  mankind  will 
understand  that  and  accept  It, as a Reality  in the feeling 
world,  humanity  will  go on, and  on, and  I would  not at-
tempt  to picture  into  what! Oh, Dear  People,  do not make  any mistake  about  Us. We 
are not calamity  howlers;  but We are putting  before  you, 
the Exact  Truth  of Life,  which  It is your  privilege  to ac-
cept and  utilize,  if you will. If you will  not,  it is quite  your 
own  business;  but let Me tell you,  the person  or student 
who  has touched  This  Light  and  allows  himself  or herself 
to be turned  aside,  by some  silly  human  thing  acting,  is 
most  unfortunate  indeed! In every  city where  the Messengers  have  been,  there  have 
been  a few,  who  thru  silly  human  gossip,  have  allowed 
themselves  to be turned  from  This  Great  Pathway  of Light 
—the  most  Beautiful,  Magnificent  Thing  on the face  of 
This  Earth. Watch  them! They  will  drink  the dregs  of the 
cup, they  have  filled  with  destruction,  and  there  is no de-
scribing  it! We do not wish  it upon  them. The  Messengers 
do not wish  it upon  them;  but We have  explained  to you, 
the Law  of Life  which  compels  It to act. There  is nothing 
but themselves  who  can change  it. So long  as they  allow 
their  feeling  to continue  pouring  forth  destructive  discor-
dant  activity;  because  it is their  own  energy  acting. This 
energy  flows  thru  naturally,  as We might  say,  thru  your 
Life Stream. It is going  all the time. Energy  does  not dis-
criminate! You  are the discriminating  Intelligence  of your 288 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
world;  who  should  say how  your  energy  shall  act thru  you 
and your  world;  but  mankind  has  not understood  that. Therefore,  how  were  people  to govern  it ? Today,  the Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  to you, 
the Clear,  Simple  Understanding  which  a child  can com-
prehend. It is Majestic  and  All-powerful  in Its Action,  for 
the Individual  when  applied. Let Us take  you by the hand 
and help  you  to understand  and  apply  It, with  Dynamic 
Power  and  Energy. Then  see how  quickly  your  world 
will be first  stilled. Then,  as This  Pure  Wondrous  Energy 
flows  forth  and  out into  your  world,  you  will  find  those 
who  hated  you  will  turn  and  love  you;  those  who  opposed 
you, will  want  to serve  you  in the Glory  of Life;  because 
your  Out-pouring  of Love  has touched  their  world,  refined 
it; and  made  it responsive  to the Power  of Life  which  is 
Light. Life  is acting  everywhere! Precious  Ones  in this audience  today,  do you understand, 
you are but the Individualization  of the One  Great  Life  ? If one of you sitting  in this audience,  were  suddenly  to turn 
and hate  the rest,  then  those  in the audience  to some  degree 
—knowingly  or unknowingly,  would  be affected  by that 
feeling  which  was  sent  into  the room,  if they  did not un-
derstand  how  to protect  themselves. Individuals  are doing 
this constantly  and believing  they  are not affected  by it; but 
too late,  they  realize  they  are their  own  destruction. DON'T  EVER  AGAIN  BLAME  ANY  PERSON, 
PLACE  OR CONDITION  FOR  ANYTHING  WHICH 
EXISTS  IN YOUR  WORLD! Then,  you  will  be in a po-DISCOURSE  XXII  289 
sition  to call the Powers  of your  Presence  forth  to cleanse, 
purify  and  set your  world  into  order;  and  have  the Glory, 
the Presence,  and  the Perfection  of All Life  acting  in your 
world. Think  of it! Never  in the experience  of outer  activity  have 
such  things  been  done,  and I just refer  to two or three. The 
Great  Victory  you will  understand  by His Name,  is all Vic-
tory implies. His Name  is a Quality,  a Power,  an Authority! When  He has  offered  to charge  the Substance  of Light, 
which  is His  Power  of Victory  into  the feeling  world  of 
every  honest,  sincere  student;  in the Name  of God,  your 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  do you realize  what  that  means 
to you! His  Power  is Assistance  for Victory  in your  world 
on the side  of Light! The  Mighty  Goddess  of Liberty  has 
offered  to charge  your  world  with  Her  Power  of Liberty; 
which  is Her  Quality  of Action  to give  you  Assistance. In 
My Humble  Efforts,  "I AM"  the Director  of Those  Mighty 
Light  Rays,  I offer  to dissolve  and  consume  your  human 
creation;  as I find  Individuals  who  are Earnest,  Honest  and 
Sincere  in making  their  Application. Where  their  Streams 
of Life  make  it possible  for Me to render  that  Service,  I 
never  lose  an opportunity  to give  Assistance;  to dissolve 
and consume  the remainder  of their  human  discordant 
qualities,  which  have  been  drawn  into  the feeling  world. Remember,  everything  in Life  is a Trinity  of Action. Perhaps,  I should  explain  to you why  these  particular  qual-
ities are being  charged  into  the feeling  world  of the students 
everywhere. The  demand  for the World  and  our America 290 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
especially,  is Victory  thru  Liberty—in  the acknowledgment 
of the Presence  of all Life,  which  is the "Mighty  I AM." America  must  have  Invincible  Protection. It is not a matter 
of can it, but America  must  have  It! We are the Power  and 
the Authority  by the Full  Co-operation  of the Cosmic  Be-
ings of Light. Then  can  you  tell Me honestly  from  your 
Heart,  there  is any human  creation  in the Universe  which 
has any Power  to oppose  Our  Authority  of Life  ? AWAKEN  TODAY,  BELOVED  ONES,  IN  THE 
FULL  FEELING  OF  WHAT  THIS  MEANS. Let  Me 
remind  you  again,  that  which  We  refer  to as the Cosmic 
Light,  is not just  an Universal  Activity  which  is prevalent 
everywhere! The  Cosmic  Light  to which  We  refer,  is a 
Consciously  Drawn  and  Projected  Power  of Light  Sub-
stance  into  the Earth;  by the Great  Group  of Ascended 
Masters  and  Cosmic  Beings,  from  what  you  have  come  to 
know  as the Great  Central  Sun;  which  is the Heart  Focus 
of Life  and  Light  to This  System  of Worlds. Now  is the only  time,  It has ever  acted  upon  the Earth 
in more  than  two million  years,  because  the need  is so great; 
in order  to hold  the unity  in This  System  of Worlds. Your 
planet  has become  known—Oh,  let us put it, as a "shadow 
planet";  because  of the discord  long  generated  by mankind. Do you  realize  what  it would  mean,  if the Earth  failed  in 
its Expansion  of the Light  as required;  in relation  to the 
other  planets  of This  System  ? You  don't  know  that,  the 
intellect  cannot  comprehend  it, but We do! Do you  wonder  why  Beloved  Saint  Germain  wanted  to DISCOURSE  XXII  291 
bring  forth  This  Light  to the Earth,  in the last effort  to free 
mankind  ? Let Me tell you something,  you  could  never  re-
pay Him  in a million  years  for the Service,  which  He has 
rendered  to the Earth  and to mankind. Then,  to think  there 
are Individuals  in America  so depraved,  as to condemn, 
criticize  and  put forth  the vicious  fiendish  false  statement, 
that the Messengers  are trying  to replace  Beloved  Jesus  with 
Saint  Germain;  trying  to ridicule  the Dictations  of These 
Great  Beings  of Light! The  ignorance  and  fiendishness  of 
unfortunate  Individuals,  is but a claw  of the sinister  force, 
to spread  their  poisonous  breath  among  the students. I say to you  Beloved  People  of Detroit,  fiendish  human 
Beings  will  pay  the penalty,  as no human  Being  on the 
face of This  Earth  can understand;  for the falsehoods  they 
have  spread  concerning  the Messengers  and  This  Work— 
not the Messengers  so much,  as This  Work,  which  is the 
Light  of every  human  Being's  Life. You  watch! The  end 
of their  rope  is at hand. Human  Beings  so imbued  with 
the fiendishness  and falsehood  as to spread  apparent  opposi-
tion to This  Light,  do it only  to gain  money. They  have 
failed,  as all destructive  forces  must  fail! I say that  to every 
human  being  who  opposes  This  Light;  because  there  is 
nothing  the Messengers  give  forth,  which  is not beautiful 
and constructive,  and  for the Freedom  of mankind. It is a 
Service  to the Earth  which  has never  been  rendered. If you allow  yourselves  to be affected  by such  false  things, 
you will  pay  the penalty;  and  you  will  continue  in your 
limitations. I speak  with  Authority! I want  the Blessed  Peo-292 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
pie and Students  to have  their  Freedom;  and  be untouched 
by the fiendish  falsehoods  which  are spread. Therefore, 
stand  in the Light  of your  "I AM  Presence,"  Beloved  Ones, 
and have  your  Freedom! When  human  Beings  allow  destructive  qualities  to pour 
forth,  they  must  pay  the penalty;  because  it is the Law  of 
their  Life! It is not that  anybody  wishes  anything  upon 
them,  but the Law  of their  Life  must  act; and  the qualities 
which  those  human  Beings  send  forth,  return  home  to act 
in their  worlds. There  is nothing  can prevent  it but them-
selves;  and  the acceptance  of the Presence  which  dissolves 
and consumes  it. Let me remind  you,  there  is no one thing  so important 
today,  outside  of the Acknowledgment  of the "I AM  Pres-
ence,"  as to call It into  action,  to use the Violet  Consuming 
Flame;  so all discord  and  accumulation  can  be dissolved 
and consumed  from  your  world! You  cannot  comprehend 
what  this means  to you in the intellect;  but if you will  only 
give obedience  and  make  the earnest  sincere  Call  to your 
Presence;  That  Work  will  be done! Remember,  when  you 
call your  Presence  to form  the Tube  of Light  about  you; 
and set the Violet  Consuming  Flame  into  action  and  con-
tinue  It, it is done! The  Presence  always  answers! Then, 
don't  let your  human  requalify  it again;  or believe  it is not 
acting! If you  do, with  such  a continued  feeling,  you  will 
shatter  that  which  you  have  called  the Presence  to pro-
duce  for you;  because  you  are the Authority,  the Decreer 
for your  world. Its energy  will  act according  to your DISCOURSE  XXII  293 
Decree—your  feeling,  because  you are a Being  of Free  Will. It is why,  as you comprehend  these  Simple  Laws  of Life 
and set Them  into  action;  you become  an Invincible  Being, 
whose  Power  of Light  is the Governing  Intelligence  and 
Activity  of your  world. Beloved  Ones,  Oh,  rejoice! Do not accept  in your  world, 
financial  limitation—or  limitation  of any  kind,  ill health 
—or disturbance. This  Power  of Light  anchored  within 
your  Heart  is the Power  of Life,  the Power  of the Universe; 
the Greatest  Intelligence  which  exists. Its Mighty  Energy 
released  in the body,  will  dissolve  and  consume,  cause  and 
effect,  not only  in the body,  but in the feeling  world  of the 
Individual;  and  of every  condition  which  disturbs  you  or 
causes  pain  or distress. If you  realized  it, you  could  stand  and  raise  your  hands 
to the Presence,  as if you grasped  the Power,  the Substance 
of the Presence  and  drew  It down  on the body. You  could 
draw  it into  your  body  and all pain  and  disturbance  would 
be dissolved—which  was  ever  created  there,  and  at once! You don't  have  to wait  days  and weeks  to do it! Today,  in 
the Intelligent  Release  of the Energy  of the Individual  by 
the Power  of the  Presence,  YOU  CAN  WITH  THE 
HANDS  REACH  INTO  THE  SUBSTANCE  OF THE 
PRESENCE  AND  SWEEP  OUT  ALL  DISCORD  IN 
YOUR  BODY  OR WORLD. Try  to feel that,  and  feel the 
Authority  of the Presence  which  is All-powerful,  to charge 
your  world  with  It and  do it now! Then,  so quickly  feel 
the Freedom  which  is yours,  the Health  and  the Joy! 294 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
You cannot  have  Happiness,  Dear  Hearts,  if your  body  is 
racked  with  pain  and distress! No one can be happy  in that 
condition! Suppose  we took  a body,  for illustration,  which 
was racked  with  pain  from  whatever  cause,  it does  not 
matter. If the Individual  in the midst  of pain,  would  stand 
and give  his or her attention  to the Presence  and call It into 
action  with  dynamic  energy,  in ten minutes;  he or she could 
sweep  the pain  out of that body,  and make  no mistake  about 
it! It is possible,  if enough  Dynamic  Energy  is released. I am determined  Individuals  shall  understand  their  Au-
thority  for Health! their  Authority  for Happiness! their 
Authority  for the Release,  from  the Treasure-house  of their 
Presence,  of the money  supply  which  they  require! By the 
Powers  of Light,  I command  that  to take  place  in the feel-
ing world  of mankind  everywhere;  and hold  Its Dominion, 
so Individuals  may  awaken  and  be the Glorified  Beings 
which  the Light  that  beats  their  Hearts,  entitles  them  to be! If people  do not love  themselves  enough,  then  I Love 
them  enough;  to give  an Added  Assistance  which  will 
awaken  them  into  the full  Power,  Authority  and  Glory 
of their  own  Beings,  their  Life,  their  "Mighty  I AM"! They 
can call Its Intensified  Power  into  action,  so It may  purify, 
cleanse  and  set their  worlds  into  order—to  give  them  the 
Happiness  which  comes  alone,  in Perfect  Health  and  the 
Acknowledgment  of Life  which  is without  limit! That 
Happiness  is Eternal  for each  one. Therefore,  today  Great  is your  Privilege! Great,  Great 
is your  Privilege! Individuals  have  lived  so long,  believing DISCOURSE  XXII  295 
they must  still be subject  to the conditions  of their  own  mis-
takes. Today  they  have  This  Light! We  know  their  mis-
takes  may  no longer  be allowed  to rule  them. THINK  OF 
IT, THERE  IS NOT  ONE  THING  IN  THE  UNI-
VERSE,  WHICH  CONDEMNS  OR CRITICIZES  YOU, 
BUT  YOURSELVES. Let Me say something  else—this  is so Magnificent! Hu-
man  Beings  who  criticize,  condemn,  judge  or release  any 
of those  qualities,  are criticizing  and  condemning  them-
selves  because  they  are Life. They  are condemning  Life, 
which  has never  offered  them  anything  but Good! Oh,  that 
mankind,  wayward  mankind,  would  understand  these 
Simple  Activities  of Life;  and  then  give  the necessary  obe-
dience,  to allow  all mistakes  to be erased  from  Individuals' 
worlds  forever! In the Fulness  of all you  hold  dear,  remember  Precious 
People,  first  there  is the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence 
of all Life,  as you  observe  It on the Chart! Don't  you  see 
you are a Part  of That  Great  Perfection? You  cannot  be 
deprived  of It, if you will  give  It attention. Then  realize  the 
Imperative  Demand  of Life;  not the demand  of someone, 
but the Imperative  Demand  of Life,  so you  no longer  re-
qualify  Its Great  Pure  Energy,  as It is flowing  into  your 
body  and  out into  your  world. By understanding  the im-
perative  need  of doing  it, you will  allow  That  Energy  to go 
forth  in Its Natural  Practical  Activity;  to produce  Health, 
Happiness  and the Limitless  Supply  of everything  you need, 
for use in your  world. 296 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
It is the most  Practical  Law  in all the Universe! There  is 
nothing  in the physical  world  today  in mechanics  or any-
thing  else,  which  is so practical  as This  Law  of Life  when 
understood;  to produce  dynamic,  definite,  certain,  All-
powerful  Results! IT CANNOT  FAIL  AND  NEVER 
DID! I WANT  YOU  TO  UNDERSTAND  THAT,  BE-
LOVED  PEOPLE! Your  Application,  if you  are honest, 
sincere  and determined  cannot  fail! It never  did! If it seems 
to, it is only  because  some  quality  is still acting  in your  feel-
ing world,  of which  you  are unaware;  or you  are continu-
ing to accept  the appearance. Let Me make  just one illustration  and  that  is concerning 
money  supply. I have  watched  among  the students,  a few 
Individuals  who  make  the Call  dynamically  and  earnestly, 
and ten minutes  after,  will  begin  to accept  in their  feeling 
world  as true,  the appearance  of their  financial  limitation. You cannot  have  Results  and do that,  not in the Quick  Full 
Manner  you would  like  to have. Of course,  as you continue 
to call,  it will  beat  down  human  feeling. Stand  guard  over 
your  feeling,  when  you have  made  your  Dynamic  Applica-
tion for your  money  supply;  and  the moment  any  slightest 
feeling  of doubt  or discord  starts,  stop  it and say: "Stop! Not 
one thing  is going  to generate  here,  to interfere  with  This 
Call! My Presence  is the Authority  and Power  in my world! Don't  you attempt  to interfere"! Then,  you will  govern  the 
feeling  within  yourself,  as sure  as "I AM"  telling  you,  and 
you must  do it! Then,  after  awhile,  when  you  make  your 
Application  human  feeling  will  not be there  to act! DISCOURSE  XXII  297 
Take  the Messenger  for illustration. Blessed  People,  you 
will never  know,  what  He went  thru  in those  earlier  years. Even  when  Beloved  Saint  Germain  sent  them  forth  to give 
out This  Work,  still  some  doubts  and  fears  were  in Him. When  He understood  how  to silence  that  feeling  with  an 
iron grip,  and  make  it be still;  in a short  time,  it was  no 
longer  there  to act. Today,  when  He issues  a Decree,  He 
knows  there  is no opposition,  and  of course  the answer  is 
there! The  answer  is within  the Call! We saw  him  reading  a letter  last night,  or this morning 
about  2:00  o'clock,  and  a blessed  one had made  the Call  for 
help. The  letter  stated:  "You  did not answer  my letter,  and 
yet the Healing  was  Complete." Beloved  Ones,  if you were 
to understand  and  realize  the thousands  of answers,  In-
stantaneous  Healings  of conditions  and  bodies;  and  all the 
limitations  of mankind—which  are released  at His  Call, 
you would  know,  that  you too, can do the same  thing. Only 
He has gained  the Full  Confidence  in His Call  to the Pres-
ence,  which  no longer  allows  requalification  to act upon  the 
energy  as He calls  It forth. You  can do the same  and  you 
must  do it; because  you must  make  your  own  Application. You are the one in your  world  who  must  take  the initia-
tive. Then,  whatever  assistance  can  be given  is well  and 
good;  but REMEMBER,  NO  ONE  CAN  TAKE  YOUR 
PLACE  IN YOUR  WORLD. You  must  be firm,  deter-
mined  and  dynamic  in YOUR  APPLICATION—espe-
cially  at first;  until  you  break  down  the human  creations, 
which  have  pressed  upon  you  and  limited  you,  as you  un-298 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
derstand  it, thru  this  embodiment. Remember,  there  can-
not be any  effect  in your  world,  without  a cause  for it! EVERY  CAUSE  IS FIRST  IN THE  FEELING  WORLD, 
BEFORE  IT CAN  OUT-PICTURE  IN THE  PHYSICAL 
BODY  OR IN YOUR  WORLD  OF ACTION. Therefore, 
if the cause  of limitations  and  discord  is removed,  then 
there  is nothing  left to interrupt  This  Great  Pure  Mighty 
Energy  of the Presence  as It flows  forth! Beloved  Ones,  is there  any  one  of you  who  doubts  the 
Reality  of the Eye  Picture,  which  the Chart  represents  to 
you;  that  your  Presence  is really  there  above  you—the  Pres-
ence  of ALL  Life  ? Let Us show  you the proof,  Dear  Hearts! Take  a human  form  which  an hour  ago  was  so happy, 
energetic,  filled  with  Light,  Buoyancy  and  Power. When 
Life has withdrawn,  the body  lies there  helpless. All the 
organs,  all the faculties  which  were  acting  are there  still, 
but the body  is helpless! Then  where  was  that  Intelligence, 
power,  substance,  energy,  and  activity,  which  was  acting 
thru that  body  ? Right  there  in the Stream  of Life  and  En-
ergy from  the Presence  of ALL  Life. When  It withdrew, 
the body  was  helpless. Then  everything  which  ever  acted 
thru that  form,  all the Power,  Intelligence  or whatever  it 
might  have  been,  was  the Power  and  the qualities,  which 
came  thru  the Stream  of Life  beating  each  human  Heart. You cannot  deny  that! There  is not a human  Being  on 
the face  of This  Earth  who  can deny  it. There  was  a Pres-
ence  of Life  which  was  in that  form  which  is no longer  ac-
tive. The  Presence  of Life  was  carrying  each  quality  thru DISCOURSE  XXII  299 
the human  form  and out into  the Individual's  world. Then, 
you know  you  have  found  the Source  of Intelligence,  of 
Power,  of Life,  of Action,  of All Supply  there  is in the 
World. Let us no longer  be limited  in the feeling  world,  by the 
idea and  feeling  that  supply  depends  upon  human  Beings 
in your  midst! As long  as you continue  to accept  it, you will 
find yourself  limited. Cut it off and turn  to your  Presence— 
the Treasure-House  of the  Universe—and  your  world. Then,  remember  THIS,  Beloved  Ones,  Oh please  HOLD 
THIS  firmly  before  yourself  forever! When  you  call to your  Presence  for your  money  supply 
or any  supply  you  require  for use,  Your  Presence,  is your 
Treasure-House  actually,  practically  and  literally! It prob-
ably would  not release  coined  money  in your  hands  just 
yet; but It is the Power  of Intelligence  at your  Call,  which 
sets Its Energy  into  action  in your  body. All persons,  places 
and conditions,  required  to bring  financial  money  supply 
into your  hands—by  the Wisdom,  Power  and  Love  of the 
Presence,  will  be set into  action  to bring  it to you. You  will 
be caused  to harmonize  yourself  and  do whatever  you  are 
required  to do, to co-operate  with  the Activity  of Life  which 
produces  that  result  for you. Oh Dear  Hearts,  once  you would  only  understand  it, you 
could  not be deprived  of anything  you  need  for your  use. It would  be impossible! There  is not one human  Being  on 
This  Earth,  who  owns  anything. Oh,  if mankind  would 
only understand  that! You  don't  even  own  your  bodies! If 300 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
you did,  you  would  keep  them! Now  notice  how  practical 
all this is! If you owned  those  bodies,  you would  keep  them, 
wouldn't  you? At least  as long  as you  wanted  to. Then, 
somewhere  something  is missing! Life is always  Omnipresent  and  acting! It is your  Limit-
less Supply  of all you require  for use! Your  Presence  is the 
Individualized  Presence  of God,  who  holds  within  Its Radi-
ance  and  Power,  the Supply  of all things;  in substance,  in 
energy,  in quality! As It releases  the Intelligent  Substance  or 
Energy,  into  action  in the human  octave,  the conditions  are 
brought  about  for a Complete  and Full  Release  of what  you 
require. Don't  you  see how  It cannot  fail in a single  in-
stance  ? It just cannot  do it. Then,  what  you  need  to do is to watch,  and  if you  are 
not having  a quick  and  Full  Response  to your  Call—don't 
be discouraged,  but say:  "Hold  on here  now! What  is the 
matter  with  me ? What  is acting  here  which  should  not ? What  am I not doing  that  I should?" Then,  call the Pres-
ence  into  action  and  say:  "'Mighty  I AM  Presence'! let 
me know  definitely  now  what  is the reason  here." Be prac-
tical ! Don't  be afraid  of anything,  but be so practical  and 
say: "Here  let this  thing  stop  right  now! I have  made  the 
Call and  I know  it must  be answered! Whatever  human 
quality  is in me, take  it out"! Be firm  about  it, and Oh,  how 
quickly,  you will  find  your  Calls  being  answered  with  Great 
Speed  and  Power! It is Magnificent! I want  to say just  a few  words  in regard  to the great 
industries  of today. A Great  Law  is entering  into  the in-DISCOURSE  XXII  301 
dustrial  world—the  Power  of Light! One  of your  blessed 
citizens,  in his Heart  is responding  so wonderfully  to the 
Great  Laws  of Life. His Light  has held  Its Dominion  over 
the most  destructive  of forces  which  would  have  destroyed 
him. He is your  beloved  Henry  Ford. I am not trying  to 
exploit  your  beloved  friend;  but I am stating  the Laws  of 
Life. Had  it not been  for him  and  his stand  against  the de-
structive  forces,  which  tried  at one time  to wipe  him  out of 
existence;  the industrial  world  would  have  been  in such 
chaos  today,  that  most  of mankind  would  not have  had 
enough  to eat. He was the strength  and courage  to the other 
industries  of the World  in his stand;  because  he knows  God, 
the Presence  of all Life! Notice—today,  the demand  of the Activities  of Life  in 
the industrial  world  is imperative;  and  the heads  of great 
industries  are coming  to realize,  the old methods  can  be 
used  no more! There  are still a few who  hold  on; still trying 
at least  to hold  fast to the old ideas;  but they  cannot  survive 
and do it! We believe  in giving  Justice  and when  We see an 
Individual  who  has built  himself  into  the great,  almost  lim-
itless  success  which  Mr. Ford  has,  then  We believe  in giving 
credit  where  it is due. His only  support,  his only  protection, 
his only  achievement,  has been  in his Power  of Conscious 
Attention  to the Light. No matter  what  the criticism  of 
him may  have  been,  be careful  you do not accept  it! If there 
were  now  and then  an Individual  in his service,  who  might 
have  made  mistakes,  don't  forget,  he may  not have  been 
responsible  for it. 302 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
So it is in all walks  of Life. It is not always  the head  of 
industries  or conditions  who  may  be responsible;  because 
they are not always  able  to govern  the action  of those  in 
their  employ. Just  as a spy from  a foreign  country  might 
enter  into  your  America;  and  gain  information  which 
would  be your  destruction,  would  the government  be to 
blame  for that  ? Possibly  in a slight  degree  in lack  of alert-
ness,  but the penalty  would  be on the Individual  who  did it. Now  remember,  Dear  Ones,  I am prompting  you  for a 
Great  Definite  Reason. In the childrens'  experiences  in 
India,  when  Rex  discovered  a spy in the midst  of the Broth-
erhood—notice  the reason! The  atmosphere  of the Brother-
hood  had  been  charged  by the spy,  so they  might  not feel, 
see or detect  his presence! Rex  coming  in from  an outside 
atmosphere,  wholly  Free  from  it, was  enabled  to detect  it! Notice  what  that  means  to the world,  when  you clear  your 
atmosphere  of human  pressure. By calling  your  Presence 
into action,  you will  be alert,  to detect  the conditions  which 
are about  to touch  your  world—which  would  affect,  limit 
or harm  you. Therefore,  as you sense  it, you can say to the wrong  con-
dition:  "You  have  no power!
The_I_AM_Discourses.txt
Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        I say to you  today,  be sure 
your  feeling  is following  the activity  of your  attention. Then,  what  do I mean  by that  in regard  to the Violet 
Consuming  Flame. If you  say just  from  your  neck  up: 
" 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'. dissolve  and  consume  all my 
discordant  accumulation  by the Power  of the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame,"  a slight  result  is produced;  but if you  are 
aware,  your  feeling  is sustaining  your  call,  then  you  will 
find Results  which  are astonishing,  take  place  in your  Life. Watch  your  feeling  follows  your  Call  or the Power  of your 
attention  in everything  you  do. Whether  it be in your  outer 
business  or what  it is, makes  no difference;  the same  Law  is 
acting,  whether  it is for your  own  Purification  or your  bus-
iness. As you  understand  this,  you  will  compel  your  feeling  to 
arise  as it were,  and  go forth  on the Power  of your  attention. That  is the Power  of Accomplishment. You  have  heard  Us 
say mankind  in the past  has used  only  one of the Trinity  of 
Action;  sometimes  Power,  sometimes  Divine  Love,  some-
times  Wisdom;  but just  one  in itself,  is not sufficient  in the 
World  today. Divine  Love  is not sufficient,  because  It lacks DISCOURSE  XVIII  265 
the Discrimination,  which  is within  Wisdom;  and  on the 
other  hand,  if Power  is not acting  the  force  of action  is 
lacking,  to produce  quick  results. Today,  in order  to relieve  mankind  from  the mistakes  of 
the past,  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  forth  This  Under-
standing  and  the Eye  Picture  before  you  of your  own  God 
Presence;  which  compels  Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  to act 
in Perfect  Balance  at your  call to the "I AM  Presence. " You 
will see then  how  constant,  how  definite  it has  made  the 
Balanced  Action  of Life  in you  and  your  world. Without 
It, you  only  have  partial  results,  because  one  element  has 
been  missing,  sometimes  two;  but today  in the Call  to your 
Presence,  there  cannot  be anything  lacking  or missing  in 
the Total  Result,  and  the Completeness  of It which  you 
require. As you  understand  this,  you  will  see how  Self-evident  it 
is, and  with  that  will  come  an ease,  rest  and  confidence  in 
your  feeling,  which  never  was  there  before. This  is what 
your  feeling  needs. It has been  so accustomed  to agitation, 
worry,  disturbance,  doubts  and  fear. Oh yes,  disturbed  feel-
ing has  been  acting  a thousand  times,  when  you  did  not 
even  imagine  it. That  is the worst  part  of it. If you  were 
only  aware  of all these  things,  you  could  stop  them;  but if 
you are unaware  of them,  how  can you  stop  them  or have 
any effect  upon  them. In the Great  Understanding  of This  Law  of the "I AM 
Presence,"  again  you  have  the Same  Trinity  of Action  thru 
your  physical  form,  which  is called  forth  from  your  Pres-266 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ence,  and  again  it is the Balancing  Activity. You  have  your 
vision,  your  attention  and  your  power  of qualification;  act-
ing within  the human  form  and  feeling  world. It again  is 
the Balance;  cooperating  Perfectly  with  the  Call  to the 
Presence,  which  is Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  in Action. Dear  Ones,  if you  were  to see in the past,  how  your  Power 
of qualification  has been  acting  and  clothing  your  Energy, 
producing  just  the opposite  results  from  which  you  intend, 
you would  be so astonished. No words  could  explain. To-
day, that  is fast being  remedied;  and  as We watch  the Activ-
ity within  the Life  Streams  of Individuals  who  are earnest, 
sincere  students,  We see the constant  change. In eighty  per-
cent—notice  how  tremendous—in  eighty  percent,  the re-
sults  are tremendous. I touch  upon  this  point  to give  you  the Strength,  and  En-
couragement,  to know  you  are not failing  in your  Applica-
tion;  not  even  the one  who  is producing  the least  results. Please  feel This;  for who  of you shall  say what  moment,  you 
will strike  a Certain  Vibratory  Action. The  Power  of your 
Presence  releases  in one  tremendous  sweep,  and  brings  you 
to the point  of Balance,  wherein  comes  the Great  Release 
from  your  Presence,  governing  all activities  in your  world. Sometimes  Individuals  have  thought  in the  Magazine, 
there  were  contradictions  of that  which  is in the books. It 
is not so. Dear  Ones,  the books  give  the Fundamental  Law 
of Life. In the Magazine,  different  angles  of that  Law  are 
touched  upon;  and  if there  seems  to be a contradiction,  re-
member  it is only  referring  to Another  Activity,  another DISCOURSE  XVIII  267 
Explanation  of the Same  Mighty  Thing. So do not let your 
human  mind  begin  to feel,  there  are contradictions  in This 
Activity. It is impossible  in the Ascended  Masters'  Work. So if there  seems  to be, it is just  a lack  of discrimination 
within  the human  intellect,  which  makes  you  feel it for the 
moment,  because  of the suggestion  which  is given  forth. There  are a few unfortunate  Individuals  who  have  spread 
the falsehood,  the Ascended  Masters  had  made  mistakes; 
the Messengers  had  made  mistakes;  and  in Beloved  Saint 
Germain's  dismissal  of certain  Individuals,  said:  "Could  an 
Ascended  Master  have  written  Those  Words". Well,  They 
just did. Because  it was  imperative  to place  that  human 
viciousness  where  it could  no longer  misrepresent  the 
Truth,  in the pretense  of representing  This  Law. Every  Individual  who  condemns  the  Messengers  and 
This  Work,  will  find  himself  or herself  out of the Radiance 
of the Ascended  Masters. Not  only  that,  but  those  Indi-
viduals  say:  "I still  have  my Presence. " I wonder. Do they. They  still  have  their  Presence  attached  to their  physical 
Hearts;  but  they  do not  stop  to see their  viciousness  re-
leased  toward  persons,  places  and  conditions,  clothes  every 
ounce  of the energy  which  goes  into  their  Beings  with  de-
structive  qualities. Therefore,  they  have  shut  off the Per-
fection  of their  own  Presence,  from  acting  in their  worlds. Do you  not see its Beloved  Ones. It does  not make  any 
difference  what  the provocation  is; not only  the Messengers 
and This  Activity,  but whoever  once  has known  This  Law 
and then  allows  viciousness  or discord  to control,  is creating 268 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
that one's  own  destruction;  and  if you  will  watch,  you  will 
see it done. There  is nothing  can stop  it but themselves. We plead  with  the  people  and  give  them  the  Correct 
Understanding  of the Law. Many  still  go on believing,  they 
can send  forth  any  feeling  they  choose  and  not reap  the re-
sults. Such  a thing  is impossible. I am  not  condemning 
those  unfortunate  Individuals,  but  I am  citing  the  Law 
which  acts. The  Law  of Life  is no respector  of persons. It 
is cause  sent  forth,  which  produces  effect,  and  that  is all 
there  is to it. It is the Law  of Life  acting  and  nothing  but 
themselves  can  change  It, as long  as they  hold  to such  a 
vicious  attitude. Therefore,  I say  to you  ladies  and  gentlemen,  in your 
activity  of the outer  world,  if somebody  has done  a wrong 
to you,  please  do not let yourselves  become  angry  or feel 
vicious  toward  that  one;  because  then  you  are harming 
yourselves. They  cannot  harm  you. Suppose  one  swept 
away  from  you  all the money  you  had;  do you  think  for 
one moment,  that  can interfere  with  your  Great  Life  acting 
to again  produce  more;  if you  hold  your  feeling  harmoni-
ous, and  pour  forth  Kindness  and  Blessing  to that  unfortu-
nate  Individual. The  one  depriving  you  temporarily,  is the 
one who  is most  unfortunate,  not you. If only  blessed  mankind  could  understand  this. In the 
experience  of the depression  a few  short  years  ago,  what  a 
Release  would  have  come. How  those  within  the next  five 
years  following,  would  have  restored  all their  loss,  if they 
had known  this  "I AM  Presence";  and  how  to call It into DISCOURSE  XVIII  269 
action. Because  the Same  Power  and  Intelligence  is there  in 
the Individual,  which  was  there  before  the loss,  so-called, 
took  place. If you  and  mankind  will  understand  These  Laws  and 
utilize  Them,  there  is not  a thing  acting  in this  World, 
which  can  harm  or deprive  you. That  is why  I say today, 
according  to the Great  Cosmic  Law,  there  is no one  in the 
World  who  has wealth,  who  is sure  of sustaining  it, without 
the Knowledge  of This  Presence. The  very  forces  of human 
destructive  creation  are pounding  at these  Individuals  to try 
and deprive  them. Every  one  of mankind  who  will  hold 
himself  or herself  harmonious;  accept  the "I AM  Presence" 
as the Treasure-house;  refuse  to be agitated  or disturbed  by 
the appearance  of the outer  world;  will  find  his or her own 
individual  world,  supplied  abundantly  with  every  good 
thing. Allow  Me to cite you  to the Messengers. My dear  people, 
they  are the Greatest  Living  Example  of This  Law  in the 
World. They  started  out in Chicago  without  money,  except 
enough  to get to Philadelphia,  trusting  the Presence. Not 
only  trusting,  but calling  It into  action  with  the most  dy-
namic  power  you  ever  witnessed. See what  has been  done 
in three  and  a half  years—unparalleled  in the history  of 
the Earth  by two  people,  without  one  word  of advertising 
to the outside  world. They  proved  the Law  absolutely  in 
their  financial  supply  in the Call  to the Presence;  to bring 
to them  the people  who  could  accept  This  Law  and  have 
This  Freedom,  and  to keep  out all others. 270 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Therefore,  one  has but to look  at the action  of the Law 
and see there  Its Fulfilment  without  question. That  is why 
I cite  these  things  to you,  so you  may  see they  have  been 
the Fulfilment  of the Law  and  are today. Never  was  such  viciousness  driven  at any  two  human 
Beings  on Earth  as has been  at them. Why. Because  the 
destructive  qualities  of mankind  know  This  Light  is their 
annulment;  know  it is the Freedom  of all mankind. That 
is the only  reason. Individuals  allow  themselves  to be made 
claws  of the destructive  force,  to try to interfere  with  This 
Activity,  but they  have  no power  to do it. As you  understand  These  Laws,  when  disturbing  con-
ditions  confront  you,  your  attitude  should  be your  Call  to 
the Light;  so far as your  own  Protection  and  the Harmoniz-
ing of your  world  is concerned. Then  the Full  Result  and 
Power  of your  Presence  may  come  forth. I tell you,  Dear 
Ones,  it is not a matter  of persons,  places  nor conditions. It 
is a matter  of the Harmony  in your  own  feeling,  which 
allows  the Power  of the Presence  to flow  forth  and  produce 
these  NATURAL  CONDITIONS  for  you. It will  do it 
every  time. There  is no such  thing  as failure  in This  Light; 
because  It is Light  which  goes  into  action  and  knows  no 
resistance. Even  the destructive  quality  of mankind  never 
attempts  to interfere  with  the Light,  because  it knows,  it 
cannot  do it. As you  look  upon  It as Self-luminous  Intelligent  Sub-
stance,  you  know  your  Call  is compelled  to be answered,  by 
the very  Light  which  beats  your  Heart  and  gives  you  ac-DISCOURSE  XVIII  271 
tivity. Today,  people  have  within  their  grasp,  the Scepter  of 
their  own  Freedom  and  Dominion  over  the conditions  of 
Earth. Believe  Me Dear  Hearts,  when  I say there  is not one 
of you,  who  cannot  stand  in the  midst  of everything—I 
mean  in the Power  of your  Presence,  and  remain  untouched 
by the disturbance  around  you. Go on, and  on, and  on, into 
the Perfection  and  Freedom,  which  your  Heart  knows  is 
True  and  which  you  crave  and  want. At first,  when  you  enter  This  Great  Stream  of Light,  it 
means  a Great  Firm  Determined  Stand  to the Light;  and 
the refusal  to accept  the gossip  of mankind  from  those  who 
do not understand. Therefore,  all who  are strong  enough 
to do that,  will  go forward,  on, and  on, and  on. You as Individuals  who  are not  Group  Leaders,  have 
only  to be concerned  about  your  own  individual  world, 
aside  from  your  Decrees  for the blessing  of America;  but 
the Messengers  have  been  the focus  of all the viciousness 
of mankind,  and  they  have  remained  untouched  by It. They  always  will,  but it is because  of their  dynamic  Appli-
cation;  and  they  still  do it and  will  as long  as they  are serv-
ing in the outer  world. It is imperative. until  Individuals  have  made  their  As-
cension. You  cannot  be Free,  without  your  own  dynamic 
Application,  because  you  are moving  in the seething  vortex 
of human  discordant  creation  all the time. I thank  you  with  all My  Heart  for your  attention;  and 
for that  which  has been  anchored  within  your  feeling  world 
to bless  you. Oh,  it is not  just  the  Words  which  I have 272 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
spoken;  they  but hold  your  attention,  while  into  your  feel-
ing world,  is the Power  of Light  anchored  to bless  you 
forever. It is Our  Great  Victory  for your  assistance. In these 
wondrous  groups  it is the response,  which  makes  it possible 
for Us to anchor  Our  Power  of Light  into  your  feeling 
world;  which  not only  dissolves  and  purifies;  but gives  you 
a Strength  and  Courage  which  sets  you  Free,  if you  but 
realize  it. Things  which  bothered  and  disturbed  you  before,  will 
never  do it after  today;  if you  will  just  keep  yourself  re-
minded  of this. Oh,  I want  you  to know  so much,  how 
Really  Free  you  are. I hope,  I trust  for those  who  attend 
This  Class,  before  the ten days  are past,  it will  be My  Joy 
to dissolve  and  consume  the human  accumulation  of ninety 
percent  of all who  are present. You  may  be sure,  Beloved 
Ones,  to the limit  the Great  Law  of Life  permits,  will  this 
be done,  not only  for your  Freedom;  but the Greater  Assist-
ance  you  may  give,  for the Blessing  of mankind  and  the 
Protection  of America. We have  watched  the Individuals  for whom  this  has been 
done. The  release  of their  energy,  their  substance  for use 
has in most  instances  been  ten times  that  which  was  released 
before  it was  done. So you know  what  It means  in your  own 
individual  lives,  as well  as the Assistance  for America. Today,  Our  Rejoicing  is very  great. If you  only  knew 
what  the Freedom  of your  America  means  to you;  and  how 
those  vicious  claws  have  tried  to enter  into  your  govern-
ment. They  have  tried  to enter  into  your  industries;  tried DISCOURSE  XVIII  273 
to prevent  your  aerial  service;  trying  to cripple  your  Be-
loved  America;  and  this excess  taxation  tries  to enslave  you; 
which  is always  the signal  for the final  enslavement  of all 
mankind. Oh,  Dear  People,  it is quite  different  this  time 
than  ever  before;  for when  the flood  of Cosmic  Light  strikes 
the mass  of the people,  then  courage  goes  forth;  and  they 
arise  and  annihilate  their  own  would-be  destroyers. That  is not  sufficient. Take  Russia  today  for instance. One man  has  been  traded  for another  continuously,  since 
the Czar  was  disposed  of. Just  changing  one  effect  for an-
other. That  is not sufficient;  but  from  the Heart  of those 
people—there  must  arise  a mighty  sincere  Honest  Individ-
ual, whom  the people  will  at once  see is their  friend;  and 
then  would  come  the solution  of the same  problem  in every 
country  in the world. Treachery  and  deceit  in high  places,  has  brought  the 
distrust  of the mass  of mankind  and  they  do not  know 
upon  whom  they  can depend;  but as the Cosmic  Light  in-
creases  Its Intensification  in the Earth,  We  are trying  to so 
adjust  It, there  will  be raised  up in those  countries—Individ-
uals of Power,  which  will  call  forth  the Power  of Light  to 
sustain  them  in their  Honesty,  Honor,  Integrity  and  Bless-
ing to their  fellow-man. It is the only  hope. We hope  they  will  reach  a great  fruition;  and  possibly 
as We find  progress,  We may  ask the Students  of the United 
States  to add  a special  Decree  for this. You  have  been  using 
the Decree  that  Ascended  Master  Friends  be raised  up 
everywhere—a  most  magnificent  thing;  but  now  decree  a 274 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Great  Honest,  Honorable  Individual  whose  Light  is strong 
enough,  be raised  up in every  country  in Europe;  and  the 
confidence  of the people  rest there;  so the Power  of Light's 
Constructive  Activity  takes  Its Dominion. One more  thing  I want  to say to you. You  may  not com-
prehend  it; but at least  in your  attention,  you  can and  con-
template  it, if you  will. Beginning  in this  Class,  there  will 
go forth  a Power  of Radiation  to Russia  and  her people,  to 
try to bring  the Great—the  vast  Remedy  which  is needed. Should  this become  victorious,  then  you  can feel a Gratitude 
and Service  rendered  which  will  be beyond  all words  to 
describe. Remember,  the beginning  of this  destructive  ele-
ment  was  in Russia,  in connection  with  the three  individ-
uals in New  York,  who  started  this  frightful  destruction  to 
mankind  and  the Earth. Once  not  so long  ago,  We  thought  there  seemed  to be 
no hope  to bring  this  transformation  into  Russia;  but recent 
evidence  there,  has given  Us renewed  hope;  so We will  do 
Our Utmost  to pour  forth  a Radiation  to the mass  of her 
people;  to do what  We  could  scarcely  hope  for a short 
time  ago. You are not only  solving  your  own  problems  and  holding 
America's  Protection;  but  see how  It is reaching  into  the 
Whole  Earth. It seems  so fragmentary  to you  I know,  but 
in every  country  in the World,  there  are Groups  of "I AM" 
Students;  some  places  small,  but enough  so We may  focus 
This  Mighty  Power  of Light  at those  points. In South  Africa,  where  as Washington's  Vision  has DISCOURSE  XVIII  275 
shown,  was  to arise  that  great  cloud  to submerge  America; 
there  has  been  drawn  and  established  a Mighty  Sincere 
Group  of "I AM"  Students. It is magnificent. Shall  I tell 
you what  they  said  concerning  some  destructive  literature 
which  went  even  to Africa. You  know  how  the sinister 
thing,  tries  to do such  things,  tries  to spread  its destruction 
everywhere. When  its destructive  literature  reached  those 
students,  momentarily  they  were  shocked. Then  they  gath-
ered  themselves  together  and  said:  "Well  if those  Messen-
gers are good  enough  for the Ascended  Masters,  then  they 
are good  enough  for us,"  and  they  dispelled  the whole  thing 
at once. That  was  magnificent,  and  what  A Great  Truth 
they  uttered. Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  you  see how  these  destructive 
elements  have  no power,  if there  is only  a Nucleus  for this 
Anchor  of the Light  within  a place  or locality. In the var-
ious countries  of Europe,  wonderful  sincere  Groups  of Stu-
dents  are applying  these  Decrees  with  dynamic  Power;  and 
We shall  give  them  more  than  Ordinary  Assistance,  you 
can be sure. I want  you  to know  how  great  is your  Blessing  and  Priv-
ilege. This  Light,  your  "I AM  Presence,"  your  Life,  is the 
Freedom  of yourself  and  the World. So let us enter  in with 
renewed  Enthusiasm,  Joy  and  Energy  into  your  Decree 
Work,  for It releases  the Substance  required. You  cannot 
help  but know,  as you  render  This  Service  to America  and 
mankind,  it would  be impossible  for you  not to have  your 
own  Freedom. 276 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Just one  more  word  concerning  your  finances. Dear 
Hearts,  please  accept  this  and  feel  it with  all the Power  of 
your  Being. There  is not one  of you  here,  or among  the 
"I AM"  Students,  who  is earnest  and  sincere,  who  could 
not before  retiring,  stand  and  raise  your  hands  to the Pres-
ence  something  like  this  and  then  say:  "'Mighty  I AM 
Presence. ' I refuse  acceptance  of any  financial  limitation 
any longer. I positively  refuse  it. Take  command  of me 
and my feeling  world. Release  thru  Your  Power  of Divine 
Love,  the supply  of money  I require  now. " There  is not one  of you  who  could  not have  it released 
in forty-eight  hours,  if you  would  only  realize  it. Try  to 
feel that,  with  renewed  enthusiasm  and  a Tremendous  Re-
lease  of energy. It will  bring  about  your  Freedom  in this 
respect,  so It gives  you  rest  and  Peace  in your  feeling,  that 
your  Application  does  tremendously  more  in all you  re-
quire. I am  determined,  if you  will  allow  Me,  to assist  every 
sincere  "I AM"  Student  in America  to be Free,  from  all 
feeling  of financial  limitation. Such  a thing  is not possible 
in the Understanding  of your  "I AM  Presence. " If there 
has been  a great  momentum  built,  by the human  sense  of 
limitation;  then  call your  Presence  to dissolve  and  consume 
every  vestige  of it in your  feeling  world;  because  your  feel-
ing world  is your  Power-house,  and  there  is where  the 
things  act. There  cannot  one thing  Out-picture  in your  physical  body 
which  does  not have  its cause  in your  feeling  world,  and DISCOURSE  XVIII  277 
just remember  that. I call  into  action  today,  the Mighty 
Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  to take  command  of your  mind,  body,  your  feeling 
and your  world  of activity;  produce  Its Perfection  and  hold 
Its Dominion,  and  bring  to everyone  his or her complete 
financial  release  from  all limitations. Take  out of each  one's 
feeling  world  every  feeling,  which  has  accepted  financial 
limitation,  because  of the appearance  world. Set all Free, 
Great  Presence  of Life,  and  give  them  such  Courage  and 
Strength,  Joy and  Enthusiasm  in their  Application;  the re-
sults  become  so instantaneous,  that  all doubts  and  fears  van-
ish from  their  world  forever. In the Power  of Our  Great  Light;  Goddess  of Liberty, 
Victory  and  Goddess  of Light. in Thy  Trinity  of Action, 
clothe  these  Beloved  Ones  in Thy  Garments  of Light; 
which  hold  Thy  Radiance  in constant  action  about  them; 
fills and  charges  their  worlds  with  Thy  Dynamic  Action  of 
Courage,  Strength  and  Victory  of the Light. I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XVIII

DETROIT,  MICHIGAN. Beloved  Students  of Detroit,  I am grateful  for this  op-
portunity  to render  a Service  to you  today,  in preparation 
for the coming  Class,  which  I trust  will  be acceptable  to 
all of you. The  need  of mankind  today,  is warding  off the 
destructive  conditions  which  exist,  where  destructive  In-
dividuals  are trying  to impose  themselves  upon  mankind. We firmly  believe  with  your  co-operation,  that  ninety  per-
cent of the destructive  intent  which  it was  thought  would 
be released  upon  mankind,  may  be avoided. I am saying  this  for the first  time  in Our  Experience,  or 
the Messenger's  experience,  in conveying  it to mankind. So much  has  been  accomplished  by the Mighty  Decrees 
of the students,  thruout  America  and  the World. We Our-
selves  could  not have  believed,  We could  find  such  response 
from  mankind. I say to you  Beloved  Ones,  you  will  never 
know  until  you  are Ascended  Beings,  the Service  you  have 
rendered. So many  times,  you  have  thought  you  were  not 
rendering  much  Service,  yet you  were  earnest  and  sincere 
in releasing  These  Mighty  Decrees. It is very  wonderful  and 
it has  made  possible  so much,  which  We  could  scarcely 
have  hoped  for,  that  Our  Rejoicing  I think,  is far greater 
than  yours. 278 DISCOURSE  XVIII  279 
On the opening  day  of This  Class,  there  will  be a Greater 
Release  and  Action  of the Cosmic  Light  into  the human 
octave,  than  has  been  thus  far. It means  everything. The 
Messengers  even  do not know  it; but why  do you  suppose 
it happened  that  you  have  a twelve  day  Class  here. The 
Messengers  started  in to have  a ten day  Class  as usual,  but 
it so happened  it became  a twelve  day  Class. There  must 
have  been  a far Greater  Reason  for It than  the outer  human 
knows. Will  you  please  give  attention  and  comprehend 
these  things  which  seem  just  ordinary. From  the  Inner 
Standpoint,  they  are most  extraordinary;  because  It is the 
Action  of the Divine  Law  of your  Being,  or shall  We  say 
the Being  of Life. Because  of what  will  be released,  not only  for your  blessed 
selves  here  and  the people  of Detroit,  who  may  not even 
be interested,  Its far reaching  Activity  will  pour  out into  the 
World. That  is the reason  why  this has become  a twelve  day 
Class. Even  the blessed  ones  who  are in charge  of the Ca-
thedral,  thought  those  two  days  were  taken;  yet  it was 
found  they  were  not. There  is a Governing  Power  and  In-
telligence,  Precious  People  which  once  you  comprehend 
It makes  you  stand  firm. The  Understanding  and  Ac-
knowledgment  of your  Power  to use  these  Inner  Laws, 
frees  you  from  human  conditions. You  bring  these  Laws 
into action  in the human  octave. Then  you  will  understand, 
you are no longer  subject  to the conditions  which  exist  here. Believe  Me when  I say,  you  can move  in the world  un-
touched  by the conditions  about  you;  if you  are firm  enough 305 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
in the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence. It will  release  Its 
Tube  of Light  about  your  human  body  and  your  feeling 
world;  to make  you  Invincible  to the impact  of human  cre-
ation  around  you. (Wave  of hand  which  repels. ) Beloved 
Ones,  if you  saw  from  Our  Standpoint,  as you move  among 
the creations  of mankind,  you  would  see a sudden  action, 
constantly  sending  its impact  against  the human  form. If you  do not believe  in, understand  or call  your  "I AM 
Presence"  into  action,  to hold  Its Tube  of Light  about  you, 
discordant  conditions  constantly  affect  you  just  like  that— 
(waving  motion  of hand)  everywhere  you  move. When 
discord  reaches  into  your  physical  body  and  affects  you 
physically,  it has first  acted  in your  feeling  world. Most  of 
the time,  you  are wholly  unaware  of it, except  when  you 
are conscious  of some  disturbance. As you  come  to comprehend  these  Simple  Laws,  every-
thing  is just  the Natural  Practical  Law  of Life;  which  it 
is your  Right  and  Privilege  to use in the Fuller  Understand-
ing, to which  you  have  not yet become  accustomed. It does 
not make  any  difference  what  your  manifestations  have 
been  up to date,  in your  Acknowledgment  of the Presence 
of Life;  it is nothing,  to what  you  can  call  into  action,  as 
you go forth. Pardon  Me,  if I digress  just  a moment,  since  the Vibra-
tory Action  is Right. I want  to place  this  before  you. In 
all the seeming  opposition  to This  "I AM"  Activity—for 
no reason  at all, and  all the falsehoods  which  have  been 
uttered  concerning  the Messengers  and  the Work,  during DISCOURSE  XVIII  281 
the Washington  Class;  the Great  Cosmic  Laws  were  set 
into action,  which  will  cause  opposition  to disappear  from 
the Earth. Watch  it. We do not talk  to hear  Ourselves,  but 
We state  Laws. We never  refer  to a personality,  when  We 
are stating  These  Laws;  except  in some  specific  instance, 
where  work  was  required. Know  and  feel  the Power  in the last Decree  you  issued 
in the opening  of the meeting. If you  know  that  Decree 
with  the  All-power  of your  feeling,  you  will  find  your 
world  adamant  against  human  disturbing  conditions. When  you  can say to all the appearance  world  and  human 
creation:  "You  have  no power". Mean  It and  feel  It with 
the Infinite  Power  of Light. which  is your  Being,  then 
you will  find  yourselves  Invincible  within  the Presence  of 
Light. It is Invincible  and  you  can  move  in the  world 
everywhere,  releasing  the Inner  Power;  and  yet not accept-
ing the outer  into  your  feeling  world,  which  limits  and  dis-
turbs  you. Therefore,  today  as the atmosphere  becomes  more  and 
more  stilled  and  harmonized  in the room;  I want  to render 
for you  a Service,  which  it has been  My Joy so many  times 
to do. It is the releasing  and  dissolving  wherever  possible 
of your  human  creation. So you may  have  a Greater  Release 
from  the pressure  which  has often  caused  you  to fail in the 
achievement,  which  you  would  so love  to have  had. Let Me urge  you  today,  to no longer  give  power  to per-
sons,  places  or conditions  to interrupt,  interfere  with—or 
limit  you  in any  way. Now  in order  to comprehend  this, 282 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
you must  realize  not one thing  can enter  your  world  or any 
condition  whatever,  except  thru  your  attention,  by which 
you connect  your  own  Life  Stream  with  it. It is IMPOS-
SIBLE  FOR  ANYTHING  TO  REACH  OR  ENTER 
YOUR  WORLD  WITHOUT  YOUR  ATTENTION 
UPON  IT. That  is why,  Beloved  Ones,  today,  please  close  the door 
and seal  it, on everything  which  has  been  in the past—up 
to this  hour. Close  it now  and  let Me help  you  to close  that 
door. Lock  it and  seal  it, so not once  again,  does  your  at-
tention  ever  go back  to what  has been,  whether  it is good, 
bad or indifferent. Erase  it. Shut  the door. Then  as you 
turn  and  face  your  "I AM  Presence,"  know  henceforth, 
only  Its Intelligence,  Presence  and  Power,  with  all Its Glory 
and Harmony,  are acting  in and  thru  your  body  and  feeling 
world. Then,  you  will  rejoice  so much  at the changed  con-
ditions. Your  Life,  world  and  activity  will  be filled  with 
successful  achievement,  with  happiness  which  you  cannot 
comprehend,  until  you  do that. Beloved  Ones,  do you  think  what  you  have  called  hap-
piness  up to this  time,  is Real  Happiness. Oh,  you  cannot 
believe  how  Great  the  Happiness  from  your  Presence  is, 
until  you  begin  to experience  It. I tell you,  the Happiness 
in the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence,  is the only  Real 
Source  of Happiness  in This  Universe. It continues  to pour 
in at your  Call  and  as you realize  the imperative  need,  is for 
you to keep  your  feeling  harmonious. Then  no longer  your 
qualification  of discord  clothes  your  Life  Energy. You  will DISCOURSE  XVIII  283 
feel and  know  definitely,  the Energy  has poured  forth  just 
like a Mighty  River  out into  your  world  of action—harmo-
nizing  everything  and  holding  Its Dominion. When  some-
thing  is required,  and  you  hold  the Harmony;  then  by a 
Decree,  it comes  forth  and  acts  in your  world  with  the 
Speed  of Lightning. That  is the Law  and  Action  of the  "I AM  Presence. " There  are thousands  and  thousands  of the students  today, 
who  have  experienced  It time,  and  time  again. They  are 
realizing  the only  reason  why  their  application  has not pro-
duced  extraordinary  results  in the  past,  was  because  un-
known  to themselves,  discord  was  still acting  in the feeling. While  the intellect  was  refusing  it, still  in the feeling  the 
qualification  of discord  was  going  on;  qualifying  the en-
ergy  with  the discord  of the past. You  cannot  afford  to do 
that. YOU  MUST,  BELOVED  ONES,  TAKE  YOUR 
STAND  AND  SHUT  THAT  THING  OFF  OR  SAY 
TO YOUR  FEELING:  "STOP. BE  SILENT". TURN 
YOUR  ATTENTION  TO  THE  PRESENCE  AND 
HAVE  ITS  GLORY  AND  BLESSING. You do not perhaps  realize,  how  firm  you  must  be, to-
ward  your  own  feeling  world. When  it has gained  a mo-
mentum  of centuries,  you  are under  its pressure. You  might 
say to Me:  "Well  suppose  I don't  know  I have  lived  before. Do I still  have  the accumulation  of the centuries  in this 
embodiment". Yes. I will  explain  to you  why. Because 
in all of the accumulation  of the centuries,  even  though 
you did  not know  it could  be dissolved;  if you  have  not 284 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
set the Law  of Life  into  action  which  would  dissolve  it, 
then  it still  remains. All the  accumulation,  all the  discord  which  has  been 
in your  experience  of the past,  still  remains  about  you  and 
in your  world. Believe  it or not. You  meet  all that  accumu-
lation,  when  you  come  back  into  this  embodiment. It is just 
waiting  there  for you,  because  it belongs  to you;  and  you 
cannot  get away  from  it, until  you  know  this Presence  of all 
Life;  and  call It to use the Violet  Consuming  Flame  to dis-
solve  and  consume  every  bit of your  accumulation  of dis-
cord. The  Mercy  or Glory  of your  Presence,  will  at your 
call, dissolve  and  consume  every  particle  of your  accumula-
tion of discord  of the centuries;  in a few  weeks  or a few 
months  at most,  if the person  is very  sincere  and  in earnest. Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  you  have  in your  hands  the 
Dominion  to set yourselves  wholly  Free,  no matter  what 
the mistakes  of the past  have  been. Is there  any  Greater 
Mercy  than  the Presence  of Life,  which  says  to wayward 
mankind:  " 'I AM'  not interested  in your  mistakes. I want 
you to be Free. As quick  as you  will  listen  to Me,  and  turn 
away  from  whatever  has  caused  you  to create  the discord
