May  you 
realize  This  is the  Observation  of Life,  of you  and  your 
world;  for the coming  activity  of the six months  before  you. It is Our  Desire  to hasten,  to intensify  the Expansion  of 
Your  Light  as rapidly  as possible,  owing  to the  require-
ments  at this  time. Therefore,  if there  are any  in the room 
who  do not wish  Me  to do so, just  send  Me your  thought 
and I shall  pass  you  by. This  is a Definite  Activity  of Life, 
and while  little  is understood  in the outer  world,  yet We 
understand  It quite  well. If you  care  to co-operate  with  My 
Sincere  Efforts,  which  are  Infinite,  then  you  will  profit 
greatly  by It. The Western  World  has  been  unaccustomed  to these 
more  Idealistic  Great  Laws  of Life,  which  you  are coming 
into now! So, if you  do not understand  all that  I do or call 
to your  attention,  please  just  accept  It. Your  Heart  knows! 384 DISCOURSE  XXIII  385 
Your  Higher  Mental  Body  knows. Your  Higher  Mental 
Bodies  have  called  to Me to render  This  Service! It is not 
only  of My Volition,  but It is the Call  of your  Life,  which 
causes  Me to be here  today,  to render  This  Service! There-
fore,  the Greater  Part  of the Activity  will  take  place  thru 
your  feeling  world;  thru  the atomic  structure  of your  body 
in the Expansion  of the Points  of Light  which  are there. As 
you realize  it, please  hold  yourselves  as quiet  as possible, 
and no matter  what  I might  say  during  the  Dictation, 
please  just  remain  seated. Today,  I wish  you  to remain  as 
quiet  as possible,  in order  to render  This  Service. In rendering  My  Service  to Bob,  Rex,  Nada,  Pearl,  this 
Good  Messenger  and  those  who  were  present  in Chananda's 
Home,  it was  an Eternal—an  Ever-lasting  Thing. THERE 
ARE  THOUSANDS  AMONG  THE  STUDENTS, 
HUNDREDS  WHO  ARE  HERE,  FOR  WHOM  IT 
IS POSSIBLE  TO  MAKE  THE  ASCENSION,  THRU 
THE  NEW  DISPENSATION! I ask  all of you,  even 
though  you  might  be here  for the first  time,  to please  accept 
That,  as a Possible  Activity  in your  experience. Thus,  you 
will make  and  hold  yourselves  ready  for all your  Stream 
of Life  wishes  to do. Remember,  We never  perform  a Service  of This  Kind  for 
any one,  unless  your  own  Life  Stream  is calling  to Us, be-
cause  It is the Authority  for you. We  may  render  many 
other  kinds  of Service,  but This  is only  at the Call  of your 
own  Life  Stream! Since  It is such  a Definite  Action,  I ask 
you in the future,  no matter  what  conditions  confront  you, 386 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
to remain  as poised  in Self-control  as possible! OUR  AC-
TIVITY  WILL  GO  ON,  DAY  AND  NIGHT  WHILE 
YOUR  BODIES  SLEEP  AND  ALSO  WHILE  THEY 
ARE  WAKING. IT IS A CONSTANT  ACTIVITY 
WHICH  WILL  GO  ON,  IN ITS  CLEANSING,  PURI-
FYING  ACTION  OF  PERFECTION. SINCE  THE 
GODDESS  OF  PURITY  HAS  COME  FORTH,  LIFE 
DEMANDS  THIS  SERVICE  BE  RENDERED  YOU. Never  in the  outer  world,  has  anything  been  so mag-
nificent  as This  Class,  for all who  have  been  privileged  to 
be present. That  is the reason  for Our  Service  coming  to 
you today. Life  is holding  All in Its Magnificent  Readiness 
for release  to you. Beloved  Ones,  in the lack  of understand-
ing, Oh how  you  have  pushed  aside,  as it were—some  of 
you for several  life times,  the Magnificent  Perfection  which 
Life—I  cannot  quite  say struggled  to bring  forth,  because 
Life in Itself  never  struggles—but  thru  the Higher  Mental 
Body,  saw  the possibility  of giving  to you. Your  feeling 
often  caused  a tremendous  struggle  in trying  to free  Itself, 
and reach  out for the Blessings,  which  It knew  were  there; 
but when  the attention  was  held  so powerfully  on the con-
ditions  of the outer  world,  the appearance  world,  the feeling 
was not able  to release  the Blessing  of Life. That  is why,  if you  understand  the Great  Extreme  Priv-
ilege  which  is yours  in Our  Understanding  of Life;  you 
will see how  in co-operating  with  It, today,  you  have  made 
it possible  for This  Service  to be rendered. Please  do not 
pass any human  opinions  about  what  I shall  do. You  know DISCOURSE  XXIII  387 
nothing  about  it; but  I know  exactly  what  I AM  doing, 
and I AM  doing  it! Therefore,  be kind  enough  to accept 
ALL  I offer,  even  though  you  might  be here  for the first 
time. Later  you  will  see and  understand  why  It has  been 
done. The need  of mankind  today  is so great,  every  possible 
effort  Life  can permit,  is being  made;  and  I know  many  of 
you have  sufficient  Release  of Light,  to understand  the Im-
port of My  Words,  and  that  which  I shall  do for you. Re-
member,  in all which  is done,  except  in a few  Activities  of 
the Currents  of Energy,  you  may,  if you  so determine,  undo 
it; because  you  are the Authority  as to how  the Currents  of 
Energy  will  act. In the Service  which  has been  rendered  in 
Previous  Classes  in preparation  for This,  a few  have  deter-
mined  not to give  obedience! They  have  made  it impossible 
for Us to give  them  the Blessing,  but that  cannot  be helped. It is the choice  of the Individual;  but  you,  today,  who  are 
understanding  sufficiently  to know  something  of the Mean-
ing of My Words,  I am sure  will  not fail to give  the Obedi-
ence  to Life;  which  enables  This  Mighty  Work  to go on in 
Its Blessing,  Its Perfecting  Activity;  for the Release  of your 
America—for  the Release  of your  America  from  going  thru 
the destruction  which  would  destroy  its people. That,  is 
why  We  have  brought  about  such  Powerful  Means  of 
reaching  mankind;  and  We will  reach  two  million  people 
more  within  this  year! I want  you  to realize  THIS  is not an ordinary  thing. It is 
a Mighty  Activity  of your  own  Life;  calling  as the "Call  to 388 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Light,"  indicates  to you,  for Its Freedom—not  only  calling, 
but demanding  It! How  is it that  Life  can demand  certain 
things  now,  when  It never  has before  ? Because  of the Cos-
mic Dispensation  which  has been  given. The  Source  of all 
Life to this  planet  has said,  the Light  must  expand  within 
the people  on this  planet! Since  This  Group  of people  has 
been  chosen  as the "Cup  of Light,"  the Heart  Focus  for the 
Earth;  you  who  are ready  to give  attention  and  obedience 
to Life,  must  be those  thru  whom  This  Light  first  expands! Its Radiance  pouring  forth  in your  Calls,  touches  the feel-
ing world  and  activity  of others  of mankind. It would  be almost  incredible,  if I were  to state  to you 
mathematically,  the Power  with  which  This  "I AM"  In-
struction  does  reach  mankind. I mean  by that,  the power 
of the  momentum  which  you  have  gained  within  This 
Class,  especially. When  you  set ponderous  machinery  into 
action—for  instance,  in your  electric  plants  for generat-
ing the power,  for heating,  lighting  and  all electrical  ac-
tivity,  you  must  have  things  in order. If something  is out 
of order,  then  the entire  activity  is held  in abeyance;  until 
it is put  into  order,  so the whole  may  go forth  in BAL-
ANCED  ACTIVITY. While  you  are in somewhat  of a similar  position,  Life 
will not  permit  you,  who  are ready  to give  obedience,  to 
longer  be held  back  by others  who  might  not give  the obedi-
ence. Therefore,  I am more  than  delighted  today,  to call 
your  attention  to these  facts;  because  in the mass  raising 
activity,  it would  largely  depend  on the  combined  Har-DISCOURSE  XXIII  389 
mony  and  Obcdience. Since  Life  has  made  this  slight 
change,  I am grateful  those  who  can,  may  go forward  now, 
and the others  follow  later,  if necessary. Today,  in accepting  the Vast  Power  and  Freedom,  thru 
the Dispensation  for your  Ascension,  I ask  you,  Beloved 
Ones;  please  do not look  upon  this  idly. Do not think  it is 
just someone's  imagination. It is a Reality,  and  remember, 
those  who  accept  Our  Assistance  and  do enter  into  the 
Ascension,  will  never  in eternity  return  to this dense  sphere 
of Earth! They  will  function  forever  in their  Purified,  Per-
fected  Bodies,  as We are doing  today! Think  of it! This  is not said  to make  you  feel bad;  but to 
make  you  feel charged,  with  the Current  of Energy  which 
is contained  in My  Words! Some  of you  were  with  Me at 
the time  so long  ago,  when  I went  forward  and  you  chose  to 
give your  attention  to the things  of the world. Now,  once 
again,  We  meet  to go forward  together! The Greatest,  Mightiest  of all the Power  of Understand-
ing, is this  one  point! Think,  thru  so many  hundreds  of 
centuries,  you  have  played  with  the  things  of the  outer 
world! In My choice  to go forward,  in the Perfection  which 
was Ours  then,  I have  gone  on into  This  Great  Glorious 
Dominion  and  Authority  over  Life! It makes  it possible  for 
Me to now  give  you  Our  Assistance  today. Please  see what 
Almighty  Progress  has  been  made,  since  those  Children 
came  to Chananda's  Home  in India  with  your  Messenger. Think  of it! There  were  a few who  received  That  Great  Blessing. To-390 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
day, thousands  and  thousands  within  your  America,  are 
being  prepared  for a similar  thing. Do you  not see what 
your  Calls  and  what  Saint  Germain  has meant  to the world, 
in bringing  forth  This  Understanding  of Life,  which  has 
made  all of this  possible? Do you  think  for one  minute, 
if you  had not made  the earnest  sincere  Call  to the Presence 
df Life,  your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  to Us,  these 
Things  could  have  been  done  ? It would  have  been  impos-
sible,  because  you  would  not  have  made  the  necessary 
preparation! While  you  do not know  all you  are doing  in 
the outer  activity  of your  Life,  I say the preparation  is there! Otherwise,  I would  not be here  today,  giving  you  This  Op-
portunity  and  rendering  This  Service,  which  you  could 
scarcely  estimate! The  fact  is, it is being  done,  which  shows 
you have  given  the obedience  and  made  preparation  for It! In your  Full  Acceptance  and  in not allowing  your  mind 
or feeling  to waver,  by the suggestions  of someone's  un-
belief;  you  will  hold  steady  in Our  Mighty  Blessing  and 
Service  which  is offered  you;  to go forward  continuously  in 
Its Mighty  Expansion. THOUSANDS  AMONG  THE  STUDENTS,  WHO 
WOULD  OTHERWISE  PASS  THRU  THE  CHANGE 
CALLED  DEATH  WITHIN  FIVE  YEARS,  WILL 
ASCEND  INTO  THEIR  ETERNAL  FREEDOM. I 
SAY  TO  ALL  OF  YOU  WHO  COME  TO  THE 
POINT  WHERE  YOU  WOULD  PASS  THRU  THE 
CHANGE;  SAY  TO YOUR  PEOPLE  AND  GIVE  THE 
FIRM  COMMAND:  "THAT  YOUR  BODIES  OR  THE DISCOURSE  XXIII  391 
SHELL  WHICH  REMAINS  VISIBLE  OF  YOUR 
BODY,  REMAIN  ON  ICE  FOR  THREE  DAYS,  THEN 
BE CREMATED;  AND  THAT  NO  ONE  TOUCH 
THOSE  BODIES  FOR  EMBALMING." Already  in three  different  instances,  those,  who  have 
made  the change  which  others  not understanding  thought 
was so-called  death,  have  made  the Ascension. In each  in-
stance,  there  has  not been  one  particle  of Life  remaining 
in the cells  or structure  of the flesh  that  remained  behind; 
which  is physical  evidence  of the Truth,  they  have  made 
the Ascension. There  are quite  a number  who  will  make  that  change 
within  a few  months;  but  if you  will  follow  This  Instruc-
tion,  you  will  enable  the Full  Complete  Activity  to take 
place  which  is required. Since  today,  your  progress  has pre-
pared  you  very  efficiently  for this,  it can easily  and  readily 
be done. Could  you  see the Forces  and  Power  which  are  being 
drawn  from  what  you  term  Nature,  from  within  the chem-
ical elements  and  within  the  surface  of the  Earth;  you 
would  see one  of the Greatest  Spectacles  ever  witnessed  on 
This  Earth. There  may  be places  in the  United  States 
where  It will  become  visible  to the physical  sight,  although 
I cannot  definitely  assure  you  of that  at the moment! You,  perhaps,  have  not thought  of it so very  seriously,  but 
when  the God  of Nature  and  the God  of Gold,  were  called 
forth  to render  Their  Service  to the Earth  and  to mankind, 
you have  no idea  how  It has released  the Intelligence,  the 392 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Power  and  the  Forces  of the  Four  Elements—earth,  air, 
fire and  water! You  former  occult  students  may  know 
something  about  that,  not so very  much;  but however  there 
is an Almighty  Truth  in It. Only  when  enough  of man-
kind  comes  into  the Understanding  of This  Light,  can such 
Assistance  take  place. Again,  I call  your  attention  to the 
Magnificent  Activity  which  your  Calls  and  Mighty  Decrees 
have  released. On the Messengers'  return  here  in July,  will  you  please 
discontinue  any  previous  meetings,  outside  of the  Class 
itself! We  wish  to complete  at that  time,  Certain  Definite 
Work  for America  and  for those  who  will  be here,  We 
wish  you  to have  all the rest required;  so you may  have  Our 
Service  rendered  to you  in the class  room. We  find  many 
people  have  become  very  weary;  and  I make  This  Explana-
tion to you,  for the Tremendous  Activity  and  the Service 
in July. If you  will  do this,  you  will  find  a Power  of Accept-
ance  in your  world  of action,  which  will  go beyond  any-
thing  you  have  thus  far imagined! Plan,  if you  choose,  to have  your  meetings  before  or fol-
lowing  the  main  Class—I  mean  your  Group  Meetings. Then  you  will  give  the Full  Power  of your  attention  and 
acceptance  of that  which  will  be here  in the Class  room. It 
will be greatly  to your  blessing  and  benefit. Please  understand  all We request  is such  a Powerful  Def-
inite  Blessing  for you! When  I asked  the Outline  be fol-
lowed,  my Dear  Ones,  if obedience  to My Request  had  not 
been  given,  this  today,  would  have  been  impossible. I can-DISCOURSE  XXIII  393 
not blame  you  for wanting  to give  expression  to your  own 
ideas;  but since  certain  Requirements  have  been  imperative, 
We had  to hold  you  definitely  in a Balanced  Harmonious 
Activity  for the release  of Energy  from  the large  Groups 
all over  America! That  is why  We  held  steadfast  to the 
Request  for the Outline  to be followed! It is imperative  that 
it still  be followed,  any  way  for this  next  six months  and 
possibly  longer—depending  upon  the Requirements;  and 
just how  great  is the achievement  and  regulation  of condi-
tions,  which  will  be necessary  in America! There  is not only  the Protection  for America,  which  is 
to be considered,  but  there  is the condition  of change  in 
your  government;  in your  cities;  in all official  places  which 
must  be made;  and  it must  be made  largely  this  year! At 
least,  the entire  preparation  must  be brought  to a place  of 
control,  so that  which  is required  may  follow! This  must 
come! Mankind  is bound  to be released  from  the limitations 
and domination  of human  qualities! For the first  time  in the history  of your  Earth,  the Inner 
Secret  Service  which  has always  been  in existence,  is taking 
Its Dominion  in the Earth. There  will  be nothing  hidden, 
which  will  not be revealed,  but not necessarily  to the curi-
ous! You  have  been  using  This  Statement,  without  fully 
understanding  just how  far reaching  it was. When  you  have 
taken  the Statement:  "There  is nothing  hidden  that  shall 
not be revealed,"  you  should  realize  there  has  to be a 
Process  by which  it is done. Of course  your  Decrees,  your  Call  is Powerful;  but there 394 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
must  be those  who  can operate  That  Law,  in the physical 
octave;  and  within  the Inner  Secret  Service  are Those  who 
can do It. This  has come  into  action  definitely! One  of those 
Great  Ones  talked  to you  recently! Our  Inner  Activity  of 
Light,  has been  set into  definite  action,  and  it is why  these 
conditions  can  and  will  be revealed! There  cannot  be a 
thing  to prevent  it. The treachery  and  deceit  in official  places,  in your  govern-
ment,  in the conditions  of the capitols  of your  states  and 
various  places,  will  be revealed! The  people  will  know  what 
is going  on! Then,  they  will  no longer  support  the destruc-
tive people,  because  they  will  see the evidence  of what  is 
going  on. There  will  be no mistakes  made  and  those  who 
have  had  such  intent  will  see—may  I use your  expression— 
"the game  is up"! I asure  you,  the political  game  in America 
and the whole  world  for that  matter,  has been  a treacherous 
thing;  bringing  upon  mankind  great  privation. How  much  does  it matter,  if Individuals  thru  treachery 
and deceit,  gain  a few  hundred  thousand  dollars,  leaching 
it from  their  fellow-man;  if they  find  they  cannot  take  it 
with  them? Why  go on doing  these  things? That  is to be 
stopped  forever,  in your  Beloved  America! How  great,  my Dear  Ones,  should  be your  gratitude,  and 
I am sure  it is; for I have  never  known  such  a thing  in all 
of Our  Experience,  since  you  left Me  in that  long  ago. I 
have  never  known  such  Great  Power  of Divine  Love  and 
Gratitude  being  released,  as has been  in This  Class. I con-
gratulate  you  deeply,  sincerely. DISCOURSE  XXIII  395 
I congratulate  you  who  have  been  so firm  as Group 
Leaders,  in holding  with  STAUNCH  REALITY  to the 
Outline  and  to the Purity  of Life! I do congratulate  you! I do congratulate  you,  Mr.  Sindelar,  on the strength  which 
you have  had  to carry  on the Magazine  in the face  of all 
opposition. You  are to be congratulated  really  and  the Goal 
which  is yours  and  Mrs.  Sindelar's  is well  worth  the effort 
which  it has required. I say  to you  fellow-students,  the  Messengers  have  met 
terrific  forces  and  conquered! You  have  not  realized  the 
terrific  forces  from  every  conceivable  source,  which  have 
been  focused  to try to stop  the Magazine! Every  one  of you 
in your  Service  to Life,  should  make  your  Calls  for the Ex-
pansion  of the circulation  of That  Magazine. Beloved  Jesus 
said:  "It shall  be the most  sought  after  periodical  in the 
World,"  and  so it shall  be! It will  do Tremendous  Work  in that  which  We must  ac-
complish  in this  six months;  the completion  following  in 
the second. As you  do this,  you  will  render  a Service  never 
known  in the world! I am going  to ask you  a question  and  just thru  your  feel-
ing answer  Me. Do you  realize  in the combined  Service,  of 
getting  the Books  and  This  Magazine  before  the world,  just 
what  that  means  for its Victory! Do you  know  already  peo-
ple who  have  committed  wrong,  seek  some  Explanation 
of Life  to help  them  ? You  saw  in a recent  newspaper  ar-
ticle,  the first  outer  evidence  of how  thousands  and  thou-
sands  of people  have  come  in touch  with  These  Books. 396 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
When  destructive  people  are caught  and  the end  of their 
destructive  activity  has arrived,  their  whole  Life  and  atten-
tion seek  the Understanding  of Life! You have  no idea,  My  Beloved  Ones,  what  THESE 
BOOKS  mean  to humanity  today. Remember  the  tran-
scriptions  and  the broadcasts,  call  people'*  attention  to the 
Presence  of Life,  the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  and  to This 
Mighty  Teaching;  but the Magazine  is the next  step  which 
should  reach  those  people  in preparation  for the Explana-
tion of the Light  in the Books. As all of you  read  and  study,  if there  is no other  way, 
hand  those  Magazines  after  you  have  read  them,  to others 
to read,  thus  calling  attention  to them. You  will  render  a 
Service  to yourself  and  your  America  which  will  transcend 
anything  so far. It is quite  easy  to do this. It requires  no 
expense  on your  part,  except  your  subscription  to the Mag-
azine  and  the means  of handing  it out;  but it is necessary. That  is why  I want  you,  if you  will,  to render  This  Service 
to America. I say to every  one of you  who  is very  earnest  and 
sincere,  YOUR  COMPLETE  FINANCIAL  RELEASE  IS 
COMING! Stand  unyielding  and  firm  in your  Call  and  it 
must  appear! Please  do not let your  attention  be fixed  upon 
the conditions,  which  exist  in the outer  world;  because  if 
you do, thru  your  feeling,  you  will  continue  to deprive  your-
selves  ! The  conditions  which  exist  in the rest  of the world, 
have  nothing  to do with  your  INDIVIDUAL  SUPPLY, 
called  forth  from  your  Presence! Now  please  understand 
that,  every  one of you  Blessed  Students. DISCOURSE  XXIII  397 
There  are a great  many  still  who  find  themselves  think-
ing: "Well  how  can  I accept  my  limitless  supply,  when 
such  outer  conditions  are existing  in the world"! It has not 
a thing  to do with  you;  but as long  as you  insist  on holding 
that attitude,  you  will  experience  the same  thing,  the rest of 
the world  does. That  is not necessary  in This  Great  Law! You are talking  to the Presence  and  Power  of Life,  which 
governs  all in This  World! Then,  why  should  you  pay  at-
tention  to the conditions  which  mankind  has  created  for 
and around  the outer  self. Now  you  are stepping  out of that; 
and it no longer  belongs  to you,  nor is it a part  of you! If 
you see this,  you  will  step  out of it; and  you  will  step  into 
the Freedom  which  I am describing  to you! Today,  in This  Heart  to Heart  talk,  I want  you  to realize 
every  Word  is a Power  of Light,  which  has gone  into  action 
in your  feeling  world. If you  will  recall  what  I have  said 
to you,  then  you  will  keep  yourselves  firmly  reminded,  so 
you do not yield  to outer  things. You  will  not yield  again 
to the appearance  world  which  has been  depriving  you. See 
the number  who  are in this  auditorium  today! Would  you 
believe  Me,  when  I tell you  that  your  attention  upon  the 
appearance  world,  has been  largely  the means  of depriving 
you of the things  for which  you  are calling  ? Sometimes  in 
your  feeling  world,  you  were  still  accepting  the conditions, 
which  existed  in the appearance  world  of limitations. Then 
of course  you  could  not have  the Fulness  of the Release  for 
which  you  were  even  calling. There  are many  who  would 
have  had  their  Release  to a large  degree,  even  without  call-398 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ing; if they  had  not kept  their  attention  fixed  upon  the ap-
pearance  world,  which  is but limitation! BELOVED  STUDENTS,  WHETHER  YOU  ARE 
MASCULINE  OR  FEMININE—WHEN  YOU  FIND 
POLITICIANS—WHEN  YOU  FIND  INDIVIDUALS 
IN OFFICIAL  PLACES,  WHO  SEEM  TO  BE DOING 
WRONG,  DON'T  LET  YOURSELVES  BECOME 
ANGERED,  IRRITABLE  OR  CONDEMNATORY 
TOWARD  THEIR  PERSONALITY! IT IS A QUAL-
ITY ACTING! IF  YOU  BECOME  CONDEMNA-
TORY,  YOU  ARE  GOING  TO  DRAW  THAT  SAME 
QUALITY  WHICH  YOUR  ATTENTION  IS ON, 
INTO  YOUR  WORLD. YOU  CANNOT  AFFORD 
TO DO  IT AT  THIS  POINT! I SAY  TO  YOU  EAR-
NESTLY  AND  SINCERELY,  YOU  CANNOT  AF-
FORD  TO  DO  THIS! YOU  ARE  AT  A POINT  NOW, 
WHERE  YOU  ARE  GOING  FORWARD  QUICKLY 
TO YOUR  FREEDOM,  IF YOU  WILL  DO  THESE 
THINGS  I ASK;  BUT  YOU  CANNOT  AFFORD  TO 
DO DESTRUCTIVE  THINGS! You see when  mankind  does  not know  the necessity  of 
Self-control,  then  automatically,  the  Life  Stream  will  do 
certain  things  for you;  but  when  you  come  into  the Con-
scious  Knowledge  and  Application  of Life,  you  must  give 
obedience;  and  make  the  Application  which  holds  the 
Balance  of these  conditions. The  Responsibility  is yours. Of 
course,  THERE  MUST  BE  YOUR  OBEDIENCE  TO 
LIFE. These  are important  things  to hold  before  your  at-
tention. DISCOURSE  XXIII  399 
As the Messenger  said  to you,  it is so—shall  I use  the 
expression  "extremely  ridiculous"—when  one  understands, 
what  the attention  does,  in feeding  the  Gift  of Life  into 
conditions  which  limit  or harm  that  one. Don't  you  see 
how  pitiful  it is! You  can  control  your  attention! There 
is not one  of you  who  cannot  do it; but  if you  insist  on 
feeding  your  Life  into  discordant  appearances,  limiting  ap-
pearances;  and  accepting  there  is a power  of human  crea-
tion to make  you  ill or distressed,  then  how  can We prevent 
it! Your  Free  Will  is paramount,  since  you  are not destruc-
tive Individuals! We  cannot  interfere  with  that. With  your 
obedience,  We can do wonders  beyond  your  fondest  hopes; 
but We must  have  a certain  amount  of obedience  to the Law 
of your  Life,  in order  to do so. Obedience  to the Law  of Life 
is your  Freedom! Therefore,  I ask  you  for your  own  progress,  to please 
watch  these  simple  things  in your  Life  Activity;  so you 
do keep  your  attention  flowing  to Constructive  Things! Then,  as Our  Great  Out-pouring  intensifies,  you  will  not 
find yourselves  at intervals,  in a struggle  against  things  to 
which  you  have  given  power. There  is another  point  which  I want  to bring  to your 
attention  with  Almighty  Power! A few  of you  have  been 
disturbed,  as you thought,  by entities. Now  don't  blame  the 
poor  entities! Some  of that  condition  is within  your  own 
selves;  and  most  of it is projected  to you  by human  Beings, 
not entities! The  day  is not far distant,  when  the Student 
Body  in Los  Angeles  and  vicinity,  will  clean  out  every 425 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
vicious  person  who  is opposing  This  Work;  and  that  one 
will stop  projections  and  distress,  which  have  been  imposed 
upon  a great  many  of the students. Call to Myself  and  Victory  in any  such  disturbance;  and 
perhaps  it will  be well  to call  to Beloved  Astrea,  to seize 
and bind  the entities,  if there  should  be any  around;  but 
most  opposition  is consciously  projected  and  it is vicious  and 
it is vile! Persons  who  are so vicious,  they  would  not give 
obedience  to Life  and  This  Law;  and  then  try to project 
their  devilishness  at Individuals  who  are earnest  and  sincere 
in This  Light,  should  be stopped. Do not  give  them  any 
quarter. We are going  to stop  this thing! Not  only  turn  back 
upon  them  their  own  viciousness,  but use physical  means  if 
necessary  to stop  allowing  them  in your  Groups  or your 
association! People  should  go about  their  own  business  and  mind  their 
own  business;  and  if they  are not interested  in This  Truth, 
they  should  leave  It alone! There  is a Mighty  Reason,  when 
I take  this  up Myself. You  know  I have  not referred  to it 
before,  but it is time  it be stopped;  and  the vicious  false-
hoods  which  are spread  to try and  prevent  the Messengers 
holding  these  classes,  should  be silenced! It is ridiculous, 
when  This  "I AM"  Instruction  of Saint  Germain's,  brings 
only  good  to the people. The  students  should  band  together 
and stop  it! Go to the officials,  explain  the  Law  and  the 
Fundamentals  of This  Truth! Show  them  what  these  de-
structive  Individuals  are doing;  and  see they  are silenced 
forever. That  is the way  to clean  these  things  out. DISCOURSE  XXIII  401 
Don't  be afraid  to do it! I want  you  to be Free! Don't 
feel you  have  to continue  to be harassed  and  heckled  by 
these  insane  creatures;  because  that  is all they  are. If they 
were  not,  they  could  not do these  things. The  idea  of people 
who  take  it upon  themselves  humanly  to interfere  with 
your  progress  or the Expansion  of your  Light,  is too ridicu-
lous for consideration  and  should  not  be tolerated  for a 
second! Remember! K-17  will  give  you  Limitless  Assistance 
in revealing  and  bringing  forth  evidence  to silence  these 
creatures! Will  you  for just a few moments  accept  Our  Out-pouring 
now? First,  the Radiance  will  be spread  over  the audience; 
and then  out  of that  Radiance,  will  come  the  Currents 
which  each  Individual  requires. Let all spend  perhaps  two 
minutes  in silence,  so This  Radiance  may  have  Its oppor-
tunity  to flow  in and  assist  you. SILENCE 
My Dear  Ones,  it is positively  remarkable  how  you  are 
able to still yourselves. I mean  by that,  not just  the physical 
part of you,  but the feeling  world  which  is more  important. I congratulate  you  with  all My  Heart. It shows  what  you 
can do! I want  to show  you  how  well  you  co-operated. What  it seemed  to Me must  require  at least  two  minutes, 
was accomplished  in one. You  remember  in India,  that 
which  would  have  taken  two  years  was  accomplished  in 
two days. I wish  you  to see,  Beloved  Ones,  what  your  co-
operation  in obedience  to Our  Requests  means  to you. It 402 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
means  everything  in Life  in the Attainment  of Its Perfec-
tion. While  I have  been  rendering  This  Service,  the Goddess 
of Liberty,  the Goddess  of Light,  the Goddess  of Peace  and 
the Goddess  of Purity,  Whose  combined  Out-pouring 
makes  a Certain  Concentration  of Power,  which  later  We 
will explain  to you—are  enthroned  above  you,  pouring  out 
Their  Radiance! Their  Currents  of Energy  went  forth  thru 
This  Radiance  and  spread  over  the  audience,  to render 
Their  Service! Please  do not try to explain  to yourself  how  It was;  what 
It was;  or anything  about  It. Just  accept  It, and  I assure  you, 
We will  do the rest. In some  of these  things,  you  cannot  be 
of assistance,  except  to give  your  Full  Acceptance;  because 
you do not understand  and  Our  Words  would  not cause  you 
to understand,  how  to be of any  special  assistance,  for We 
are the Doers. Just  let Us do that  which  We  know  is essen-
tial; and  do not allow  your  intellect  to wonder  anything 
about  it! I want  you  to feel,  Dear  Ones,  that  Our  Assistance  is not 
so much  in what  I am saying  to you,  in the outer  worded 
expression;  as It is of the Inner  Activity  which  is so impor-
tant—in  order  to hasten  the Expansion  of your  Light,  your 
comprehension;  and  give  you  a Fuller  Power  of Accept-
ance,  in that  which  you  will  continue  to call forth  individ-
ually. Will  you  on retiring  each  night,  remember  this  after-
noon  and  call  for its Continued  Action! It only  takes  a DISCOURSE  XXIII  403 
moment  to call for Continued  Action,  the Continuous  Ex-
pansion  of Our  Radiance  which  has  been  spread  here  this 
afternoon. Then,  you  will  by your  attention,  keep  the 
Power  flowing,  to do these  things  and  bring  about  the 
Completion. In human  experience  among  so many  people,  there  has 
been  the enthusiastic  desire  to start  something;  but they  do 
not hold  the enthusiasm,  to go on to the finish! Now  your 
enthusiasm  and  your  gratitude  are sufficient,  to carry  you 
on to the completion  of all you  require  in the Service,  which 
We wish  to do for you. So in the remembrance  of all I have 
said,  will  you  be kind  enough  to give  the Full  Obedience, 
in making  your  Call  and  giving  Me your  attention;  which 
will keep  this in action,  until  what  is required  is completed  ? I presume  Saint  German  thinks  I am a rather  doubting 
Thomas;  but when  He said  to Me at the beginning  of This 
Class,  it could  be done  at the close  of the Class,  I waited 
to see. Of course,  I had  not been  giving  as much  attention 
to you  as He has;  for when  you  have  watched  with  Me 
—thru  the centuries,  in which  We have  watched  mankind, 
you do not wonder  that  I question—not  their  desire;  but 
their  ability  to give  sufficient  obedience  to do these  things. However,  it is marvelous,  because  whenever  He has  said 
something  will  be done,  I have  found  it accomplished. I not only  congratulate  you,  but I congratulate  your  Be-
loved  Saint  Germain  for being  able  to do This;  and  He 
has done  It from  the beginning. I want  you  to realize  that 
He is the Authority  for you;  and  when  in the beginning, 4 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
We questioned  the  ability  of the  Beloved  Ones  to give 
Sufficient  Obedience,  He was  right  and  has  won! I want 
you to fully  appreciate  that,  and  I am sure  you  do. I want 
you to fully  appreciate  the Almighty  Confidence  He has in 
you;  and  you  have  not  caused  Him  to regret  one  single 
effort! Is it not Magnificent  Co-operation  with  Life? You here  in the city  of Los  Angeles  can  have  done  for 
you, a similar  thing  which  was  done  in the Quiet  of the 
Great  Mountains—the  Silence  of the Great  Mountains,  and 
Purity  of those  Great  Mountains  in India! You  are having 
done  for you  a similar  thing  today,  in your  city  in the outer 
world. Does  that  mean  anything  to you  ? Does  it not con-
vince  you,  the Power  of Life  is actually  taking  Its Dominion 
in the outer  world  ? Again  I thank  you,  I congratulate  you  with  all My Heart! Stand  firm,  determined  and  unyielding  in your  Call  to 
Light  and  to Life! Let Its Mighty  Expansion  go on within 
you—being  more  and  more  fearless  and  dauntless;  know-
ing mankind  has  no power  to limit  you;  no power  to im-
pose  discord  or pain  or distress  upon  you! Beloved  Students,  as well  as those  who  are not students— 
who  may  be continuing  their  practice  of assistance  to re-
lieve  the distress  of mankind—YOU  ARE  RESPONSIBLE 
FOR  SUGGESTIONS  WHICH  YOU  OFFER! IF YOU 
ARE  AWARE  OF  SOME  CONDITION  WITHIN  A 
HUMAN  BODY,  PLEASE  DO  NOT  VOICE  IT. SAY: 
"WELL  HERE  IS A CONDITION  WHICH  IS A 
LITTLE  OUT  OF  HARMONY." CALL  THE  LIGHT DISCOURSE  XXIII  405 
INTO  ACTION  TO  GIVE  YOU  ASSISTANCE 
WHATEVER  IT  IS;  BUT  REMEMBER  A GREAT 
RESPONSIBILITY  RESTS  UPON  THOSE  WHO  OF-
FER  SUGGESTIONS,  WHICH  CAN  ACT  UPON  THE 
HUMAN  BODY  AND  FRIGHTEN  THE  INDIVID-
UAL;  OR  CAUSE  GREATER  DISTURBANCE  IN 
THE  BODY! Human  Beings  are so prone  to accept  human 
suggestions;  especially  if it be something  concerning  their 
bodies,  for mankind  is body  conscious. I mean  by that,  In-
dividuals  give  so much  more  attention  to the body,  than  is 
necessary. A little  twitch  of a nerve  or something  and  they 
get excited  and  think  something  more  distressing  is the 
matter. Don't  do that! You  are in a position  to command  Obedi-
ence  and  Harmony  in your  physical  body! Stand  unyield-
ing in it; determined  to have  it, and  you  will  be very  grate-
ful; because  you  will  learn  to quickly  dismiss  disturbances 
in the body,  such  as pain  and  distress. My  Dear  Ones,  do 
you forget  the cause  of everything  which  acts  in your  phys-
ical body,  has to first  have  its cause  in your  feeling  world  ? Then,  don't  you  see how  powerful  and  great  is the COM-
MAND,  to act in your  feeling  world! Suppose  there  were  an intimation  of pain  and  you  say: 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  silence  that  human  quality! It 
has no power! Then,  your  Presence  must  act in your  feeling 
world  with  Full  Authority. Then,  distress  cannot  Out-
picture  in the physical  structure  of the body;  because  there 
is not one  thing  can  act in the physical  structure,  whose 406 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
cause  did not first  originate  in your  feeling  world;  because 
It is the cause  of everything! That  is why  discarnate  entities 
have  caused  so much  distress  to mankind,  because  they 
come  and  hover  about  the body,  touch  within  your  atmo-
sphere;  and  you  begin  to feel  in YOUR  FEELING 
WORLD  whatever  is in them. I think  I should  call  to your  attention  today,  so you  re-
member  it, that  no imperfection  which  the physical  body 
holds,  can  enter  into  the Higher  Octaves  of Light. If one 
be insane  here,  that  one  cannot  be insane  in the Octaves  of 
Light;  because  that  condition  is within  the brain  structure! While  the cause  was  most  of the time  in the feeling  world, 
still the effect,  which  Out-pictured  was  in the brain  struc-
ture of the body;  or was  an Interference  in the nerves  with 
their  Balanced  Quality  of action. Those  conditions  do not 
enter  into  the Higher  Octave! If you  have  lived  in such  a condition,  that  you  have  bound 
yourself  to Earth,  the disease  or condition  with  which  you 
passed  out,  would  not  actually  be in the next  octave;  but 
you would  be holding  the memory  in your  atmosphere  of 
the condition  with  which  you  passed  out! That  is what  is 
charged  into  the world  of those  left  behind! Individuals 
who  have  discarnates  hovering  about  them,  often  Out-
picture  the feeling  of the discarnates;  because  the memory 
of that  feeling,  charges  its quality  into  and  thru  the feeling 
world  of the one  still  in physical  embodiment;  and  that 
person  begins  to Out-picture  the same  thing. The  Simplic-
ity of Life,  makes  you  Master  of the entire  situation. DISCOURSE  XXIII  407 
Do you  not see how,  if such  a thing  touched  your  feeling 
world,  if you  would  just  call  forth  the Light  and  blaze  It 
forth,  by Its Mighty  Radiance,  you  would  cut loose  instantly 
anything  which  had  attached  itself  to your  feeling  world. You have  not felt  your  Authority  yet;  but  I want  you  to 
feel It today! No matter  what  touches  you  or disturbs  you, 
call forth  the Light;  and  feel  It expand  thru  every  cell  of 
your  body  and  cut yourself  loose  from  such  things! You 
can dispell  anything  that  comes  around  you;  whether  it be 
the projection  of something  into  your  physical  body,  en-
tities  or anything  of the kind! It will  act the same,  insofar 
as you  are concerned. Therefore,  you  are the Master! Continuing  what  I said  a while  ago,  to anyone  who  is 
disturbed  by these  projections;  or if it be entities,  call  first 
to Beloved  Astrea,  then  call to Me and  I will  stop  that  thing 
acting  in your  world! Recently  so much  viciousness  has 
been  projected  at the students,  I am determined  that  thing 
shall  stop! If you  will  make  your  Call  to Me,  after  you  have 
called  to your  Presence,  then  at the same  time,  feel  This 
Light  go into  and  spread  out  in Its Dynamic  Powerful 
Radiance,  I will  cut you  Free! Nothing  in the world,  my Dear  Ones,  can  find  action 
within  your  feeling  world  or affect  your  physical  body, 
unless  you  let it. I want  you  to feel  your  Mastery! Don't 
keep  accepting  that  something  has  power  to touch  you! It doesn't  make  any  difference  what  it is! This  Life  Stream 
is, as you  observe  It here! (pointing  to Chart)  Think  of Its 
Mighty  Intelligence  and  Mastery! That  is what  you  call 433 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
forth! When  you  do call  It forth  and  expand  It thru  the 
body,  isn't  it just  the same,  as if you  turn  the Light  on in 
this room  when  it is dark? The  darkness  disappears! Well, 
all human  qualities  are darkness  or shadows;  and  they  have 
no power  in the Presence  of This  Light. As you  feel  Our 
Light  call  It forth  and  expand  It in, thru  and  around  your 
body,  It just  acts  automatically! If you  observed  Its Action  with  the All-Seeing-Eye  as I 
did, you  would  see the Light  flash  and  blaze  out  around 
this body,  as definitely  as a Flame  Itself. It means  nothing 
destructive  can stand  within  That  Flame. I want  you  to feel 
Our Mastery,  Power  and  Assurance! There  is no reason 
why  you  should  be disturbed  by any  thing. It means  so 
much  now  to take  the Mastery;  so nothing  disturbs  the con-
stant  Increasing  Power,  Harmony  and  Radiance  which  is 
about  you. I thank  you  and  I am eternally  grateful  for this  oppor-
tunity  to serve  you  today. May  It remain  a Happy  Glorious 
Memory  within  you  always;  until  that  day,  when  you  stand 
in Our  Octave  of Light  and  I shake  your  hand  and  wel-
come  you  Home. Your  Home  is there,  not here! I know 
that definitely! Therefore,  you  have  just  been  on a peculiar 
vacation. Now  you  are coming  Home  today,  to render  your 
Real  Great  Service. I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XXV  4i7

CHICAGO,  ILLINOIS 
Beloved  Ones  of the Light,  for such  you  are or you  would 
not be here;  therefore,  I claim  you,  EVERY  ONE,  into  the 
Light  tonight! I have  drawn  the  Radiance  from  the  Cave  of Light  in 
India  where  the  Children,  referred  to in the  Magic  Pres-
ence,  received  Their  Freedom! I have  charged  this  au-
dience  and  this  room  with  the  Radiance  which  is there! Will  you  be kind  enough  to accept  Its Interblending  Power 
with  your  Life  Stream;  to harmonize,  to intensify  and 
to bring  the  most  rapid  fruition  of the  Powers  of Light, 
to act within  your  human  form  ? My Province  for many  centuries  has been  governing  and 
assisting  in perfecting  the  outer  manifestation  of the Life 
Streams  of Individuals—for  more  than  two  hundred  thou-
sand  years. The  conditions  which  are  existing  in the  ap-
pearance  world  today  have  had  power  or found  expression 
among  mankind. Now  notice! The  conditions  which  have  been  dissolved 
from  the atmosphere  of Earth;  the black  magicians  are no 
more! Much  of the  humanly  created  substance  charged 
into the atmosphere  of Earth  has  been  dissolved;  and  man-
kind's  own  accumulation  of the ages,  is being  rapidly  dis-
409 435 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
solved  and  consumed. Do you  not understand  the Tireless 
Efforts  and  the Eenergy  which  are being  released  to bless 
mankind  and  set the Earth  Free  once  again  ? You  might  be 
justified  in saying  that  from  the appearance  of Europe  and 
the Orient,  there  seems  little  evidence  of These  Words. Oh, 
quite  true! Quite  true! but is the mankind  of Earth  wiser 
than  I, who  for two  million  years,  have  been  the Authority 
to This  Earth? You can  scarcely  believe,  Beloved  Children  of Light, 
that such  a Stupendous  Change  can take  place;  and  yet you 
shall  see It! You  have  been  told  a number  of times,  this  is 
the culmination  of the ages. Only  as you see certain  coming 
outer  manifestations,  will  you  understand  how  very  True  it 
is! There  are those  who  could  have  This  Great  Opportunity 
and This  Power  of Action  in their  lives,  but they  do not take 
hold  of It. How  unfortunate  all do not take  advantage  of It! We have  been  patient  a long  time. We  can  still  be pa-
tient  for a time. Then  the  Great  Law  of Life  says:  "No 
longer,  Children  of Earth"! No longer  may  you  have  time 
to make  up your  minds! The  Great  Law  of Life  says  then: 
"I shall  make  it up for you"! That  is not unjust! It is a 
Blessing  unknown  to mankind  today,  for when  the people 
will not  do what  is right;  and  after  having  imposed  too 
much  of the shadows  upon  the planet  on which  they  are 
living;  the Great  Cosmic  Law  always  demands  the Release 
of Life's  Purifying  Power,  which  will  dissolve  and  consume 
the accumulation  of mankind. Oh, that  the people  might  be ready! Yet,  in all the ages DISCOURSE  XXV  4i7 
which  have  passed,  when  people  have  been  prompted  to 
prepare  for the coming  changes,  still  in their  unbelief  they 
have  said:  "Thou  art foolish"! Too  late,  they  found  they 
were  foolish. Today,  there  are a great  number  of mankind 
who  say:  "Why  be concerned  about  the coming  changes! I will  survive  or pass  out." How  do you  know  you  will  do 
either? The Law  of This  Earth  has  undergone  vast  changes! There  will  be many  who  will  say to Me:  "How  can  Life 
change  Its Laws"  ? Life  never  did,  but the people  in their 
interpretation  of that  which  they  believe  is the Law  of Life, 
are sometimes  far from  the Truth! We alone  who  know  the 
Truth,  should  at least  be listened  to. When  These  Great 
Changes  begin  and  the  contending  human  Beings  upon 
This  Earth,  see  the  Vast  Cosmic  Power  taking  action 
against  their  puny  human  selves,  they  will  see how  frail 
indeed  is human  effort. Oh, the arrogance  of HUMAN  minds,  to think  they  are 
authority;  to think  they  hold  dominion  over  the intellec-
tual attainment;  or to think  they  have  the wealth  of what 
is gathered  about  them! Beloved  Ones  of America,  what 
would  you  be today,  but for your  Great  Goddess  of Liberty; 
pray  tell Me! Where  would  you  be, today,  without  Her 
Help  ? You  would  be a nation  in bondage. You  do not un-
derstand! Even  though  you  believed  My  Words,  STILL 
YOU  DO  NOT  UNDERSTAND  WHAT  YOUR  GOD-
DESS  OF LIBERTY  HAS  DONE  FOR  YOUR  AMER-
ICA;  how  Her  Protecting  Presence  has stood  guard,  hold-412 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ing Her  Almighty  Freedom  and  Liberty  for  America; 
holding  the Power  of Its Eternal  Light,  so one  day  there 
might  come  the response  from  mankind. Will  you  believe  Me when  I say to you  tonight,  your  Be-
loved  Messengers,  who  in their  Classes  have  read  Wash-
ington's  Vision,  containing  that  which  the Goddess  of Lib-
erty gave  him  in those  days  of great  trial,  have  drawn  your 
attention  to Her  Great  Help? Can  you  understand  what 
that has done,  as It spread  Its Radiance  among  mankind; 
causing  the  people  to release  the  Assistance  which  they 
must  give,  if these  changes  are to come;  and  if that  third 
episode  is to be kept  from  action  in America  ? The  people 
of America  must  give  response  to Her  Presence  of Life;  and 
bring  forth  Its Action  in the Call  to Light,  to give  the Assist-
ance  which  She  has shown  you  so plainly. Beloved  Students  and  Friends  of Beloved  America,  you 
Loyal  Patriots,  for there  are many!—Remember  those  early 
days  of effort,  privation  and  giving  of all, by those  who  were 
Real  Patriots. It has  not been  in vain! By These  Mighty 
Calls  to save  the Civilization  of America,  there  is coming  a 
Great  Great  Release  and  Relief! Even  as in Washington's 
day, when  Beloved  Saint  Germain  came  and  brought  Re-
lease  and  Relief  to Him;  so today,  shall  come  the Power 
of the Cosmic  Light;  to give  Him  the Assistance  which  is 
required  to render  That  Service;  which  He is determined 
to give  to your  America  and  to the World! How  fortunate  it is Beloved  Ones,  that  you  are privileged 
to become  His  Great  Family  of Light. One  day,  you  will DISCOURSE  XXIII  413 
understand  how  great  is your  Privilege. He sought  for two 
hundred  years  in Europe,  to get the attention  of millions 
of mankind;  and  yet but a few Individuals  would  respond. After  waiting  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  years,  He 
said:  "I shall  try once  more." Then,  He found  those  who 
had been  His  children  in an ancient  time;  and  remember-
ing the Strength  they  had,  as His children  at that  time,  and 
the privileges  which  were  granted  them,  He determined 
to try again. He has not been  disappointed  in them. He has 
not been  disappointed  in you! Be assured,  Beloved  Ones,  THAT  INITIATION  which 
once  came  only  within  walled  temples,  is now  being  given 
in the outer  world,  thru  your  every  action  of the day. Life 
has now  expanded  Its Great  Scope. There  have  been  so 
many  who  have  not  had  quite  sufficient  patience. They 
have  been  within  a few  days  or a few  weeks  of their  Free-
dom  and  yet,  have  forsaken  the  opportunity  of centuries! May  the Light  which  is now  intensifying,  henceforth  hold 
every  one  strong  within  the  Light  of his or her  "I AM 
Presence";  so each  one's  patience  may  continue,  until  he 
or she observes  the Victory! You have  observed  conditions  of the past! Fall  not into 
the mistakes  which  you  have  seen;  but  standing  steadfast 
within  your  Presence  of Life,  your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  stand  firm  and  unyielding,  until  you  see the Glory 
of your  Victory  achieved! Fifty  Individuals  within  five 
years,  who  stood  within  a few  days  to a few  weeks  of their 
Victory  of Life,  have  turned  aside  and  returned  into  their 414 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
unhappiness. If you  would  observe  them,  you  would  pre-
vent  yourselves  making  the same  mistake! We long  to see you  Free. We  long  to see you  patient, 
until  your  Call  to Life  will  set you  Free! Since  We are giv-
ing such  Great  Assistance,  mankind  should  be patient! When  the  people  have  had  for centuries,  hundreds  and 
thousands  of lives  in discord,  to be patient  a few  years,  even 
today,  should  become  easy. Beloved  Students,  We  have  prepared  the  Way  for the 
Glory,  the Expansion  of the Light  in your  city. Since  your 
Beloved  Saint  Germain  saw  fit to bring  forth  This  Great 
Light  here;  We feel  obligated  to Him,  to endeavor  to estab-
lish a Mighty  Focus  of Light  to spread  Its Radiance! Even 
the Cosmic  Powers  as you  observed,  have  come  to Our  As-
sistance. Will  you  go on in the  old  way  feeling  discord 
toward  each  other,  when  the Culmination  of all Life  stands 
at your  Open  Doorway  ? Can  it be possible,  mankind  will 
not see,  before  the people  stands  the Open  Door  into  the 
Octaves  of Light!—the  Jewelled  Door  of Achievement—of 
Eternal  Victory  ? Is it possible  that  mankind  and  the Stu-
dent  Body  will  not see ? Just  because  of little  human  differ-
ences,  should  Individuals  allow  sufficient  discord  to drive 
in, and  turn  them  away  from  the Light;  or delay  their  Vic-
tory which  could  be quickly  achieved  ? Beloved  Ones,  the Opportunity  of Eternity  is here! You 
alone  must  choose,  and  value  all the promptings  We  give; 
and that  is a thing  which  heretofore  has  been  absolutely 
forbidden. In the requirements  of the Earth  at this  time, DISCOURSE  XXIII  415 
these  things  are being  permitted,  which  have  never  been 
done  in the history  of the Earth. You  who  have  failed  so 
many  times  before,  now  when  you  stand  absolutely  ready 
for the Victory,  will  you  fail again  ? Some  have,  but will 
you? You  must  decide! There  is not one thing  in This  Uni-
verse  which  could  make  you  fail but  yourself—your  own 
human  self. Remember,  there  are two  of you—the  human  and  the 
Divine. The  human  has  been  growing  very  frail  in its 
power  of dominion;  and  in your  Calls  to the Light,  the 
Light  within  you  has grown  strong  in Its Dominion! Will 
you not  allow  It to continue;  until  all human  qualities 
have  entirely  vanished? Then  in the  Greatest  Raising 
Power  of your  Presence  of Life,  the Earth  can  no longer 
hold  its dominion  over  you! In the Glory  of Its Magnificent 
Splendor  of Life,  stand  and  again  gaze  upon  the Earth; 
looking  down  your  Life  Stream  on all that  has been—see-
ing the years,  the centuries  of wasted  energy. Such  is the condition  of mankind. Centuries  of wasted 
energy,  and  yet Life  does  not condemn  you! Life  does  not 
say to you:  "You  shall  do thus  and  so"! It says:  "If you  will 
give obedience,  thus  and  so shall  be the result"! Will  you, 
My Beloved  Children,  give  That  Obedience? Will  man-
kind  awaken  now  at This  Opportunity  ? Those  who  refuse 
it this  time,  will  be compelled  to wait  a long  time! When  Individuals  think  in their  intellects,  to cast  aside 
the Opportunity  which  Life  has offered  them,  it is quite  a 
tragic  thing. They  feel,  they  are  defying  the  Forces  of 441 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Light! What  a pity! What  a pity! Life  will  not take  you  by 
the shoulder  and  say to you:  "Give  Me your  Obedience"! Life waits  in Its Infinite  Patience  for mankind,  to willingly 
give the Obedience  required  for Freedom! Beloved  Mankind,  you  must  understand  you  alone  must 
determine  to give  obedience  to Life! In the case  of vicious 
Individuals,  their  Free  Will  is now  withdrawn! That  is 
why  you  are seeing  such  great  changes  in your  schools,  and 
it will  also  come  in the political  world! I say to you  ladies 
and gentlemen,  watch! You  will  see the greatest  changes  in 
the political  world  you  have  ever  witnessed;  because  its de-
structive  influence  and  power  are gone! Watch  it and  see! The gathering  together  of treachery  and  intrigue  to prey 
upon  the mass  of mankind,  shall  cease  forever! Mankind  SHALL  arise  in the  Call  to the Presence  of 
Life for Its Dominion  here! Remember,  many  of you  who 
are here,  have  felt such  inability,  such  helplessness  before 
the forces  of the appearance  world. Ladies  and  gentlemen, 
arise! Accept  the Power  of your  Dominion,  in your  Call 
to Light  and  be frail  no more! The  most  delicate  lady  in 
her Call  to Life  has  Power  Infinite;  and  you  strong  men, 
physically  speaking,  in your  Call  to Light  with  the  EN-
ERGY  which  is there,  can  release  the Power  of Life;  to 
clear  the conditions  of the Earth;  and  render  This  Service 
which  mankind  needs  in America  today! Will  you  not 
render  It ? Do you  quite  understand  your  Beloved  America  is like 
a Good  Mother  holding  you  in Her  loving  embrace  ? Do DISCOURSE  XXV  4i7 
you understand,  that  is what  your  America  means  to you; 
from  Her  Bosom  giving  forth  the glories  of all mankind 
needs  for Sustenance,  Health,  Strength,  Energy  and  Power 
of achievement! Oh,  Beloved  Ones,  you  who  live  in the 
great  cities,  have  forgotten  the agricultural  world! Remem-
ber it again  please! Remember,  without  it you  are lost! Remember—without  your  producers  of the supplies  of the 
world,  you  are lost! So, protect  your  supply  of every  kind! Remember—protect  your  transportation  which  has  been 
brought  to you  in such  magnificence! It is at the point  of 
Great  Achievement! Will  you  in the lack  of your  Call  to 
Life,  let It be delayed  for another  fifty  years  ? You  could 
have  magnificent  transportation  within  twelve  years. It 
could  be filling  the  Earth. You  could  have  breakfast  in 
New  York  and  dinner  in Los  Angeles. Then,  you  could 
have  breakfast  in Los  Angeles  and  dinner  in London! Try to follow  Me for a few  moments  and  understand— 
that in the atmosphere  of Earth,  there  are Currents  of Elec-
trical  Energy  of which  the  outer  world  knows  nothing! In the new  means  of transportation,  there  will  come  some-
thing  of the Knowledge  of these  air currents! Then,  you 
will go into  those  air currents;  and  be carried  with  their 
Natural  Speed,  far beyond  what  your  air planes  have  today. Those  Natural  Electrical  Air  Currents,  will  carry  those 
planes  at a speed  far beyond  what  you  have  today. By the 
air plane's  own  power,  its speed  can be three,  five  or seven 
times  what  you  have  today. These  are the conditions  which  are before  the people,  if 443 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
they  will  make  the Call  to Life  and  let the Presence  of Life 
bring  It forth! They  must  call  for all human  selfishness  to 
be wiped  out;  for that  is what  is withholding  these  things 
from  mankind;  because  of the fear  of loss  of great  wealth 
in cumbersome  machinery! The  machinery  of the future 
will be simple,  light  and  magnificent;  for the old cumber-
some  machinery  must  go! It has rendered  a great  service, 
beautiful  and  magnificent;  but  it cannot  hold  on forever. It must  give  way  to that  which  is more  Perfect;  and  every-
thing  which  becomes  more  Perfect,  becomes  more  simple; 
becomes  lighter  in weight;  becomes  more  enduring. As you  have  machinery  today  which  is using  almost 
human  intelligence,  yet  there  is that  which  is standing 
ready  to come  forth  to you,  so much  more  Perfect. For  in-
stance,  let Me draw  one  illustration  for you. There  is ma-
chinery  waiting  to come  forth  into  which  you  may  dictate 
a volume;  and  it will  come  out  at the finish,  bound  and 
complete. Tonight,  while  I am talking  to you,  flashing  My Words 
to the Messenger  and  he is speaking  Them  to you;  instead 
of conveying  his voice  as you  do over  your  radio;  if you 
could  see around  the Messenger,  you  would  see the mouth-
piece  to these  Currents  of Energy—carrying  My  Words 
thruout  the nation  and  direct  into  the feeling  world  of the 
students! Do you  realize  this day,  the entire  "I AM"  Student 
Body  of America  and  the World  is focused  upon  this room  ? The Students  are receiving  Our  Radiance! Since  they  have 
been  so obedient  and  willing  to prepare  themselves,  I have DISCOURSE  XXIII  419 
arranged  there  shall  go forth,  the Exact  Radiance  which  is 
here,  to bless  them  in their  loyalty  and  faith  to the Light. Thus,  We are considerate  of the Requirements  of those  who 
are loyal  to the Light. How  can it be ? I ask you,  how  can it be, there  is one  in 
human  form,  who  has heard  of This  Glory  and  Freedom 
of Life  and  who  has not understood  ? Yet,  soon  will  It be 
accepted  thruout  America,  as the Greatest  Ideal  of Life  and 
the Greatest  Power  of Its Perfecting  Activity  ever  known 
to mankind,  for so It is! The mass  of mankind  must  come  to understand  This 
Magnificent  Understanding  as the Individual's  own  Life. Your  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  It to your  attention! Yet every  particle  of It is your  own  Life—Its  Understand-
ing, Application  and  Freedom  of your  own  Life. Who 
should  not want  it ? Who  should  not be willing  to give  the 
Obedience  required  in order  to have  Our  Freedom,  I ask 
you ? There  are those  who  rebel,  for such  is the condition 
of human  qualification  of Life's  Energy;  and  human  ac-
cumulation  does  not  want  them  to be Free. Not  under-
standing,  they  give  way  to it and  lose  the opportunity. However,  I greatly  rejoice  tonight,  in seeing  in the near 
future,  the Glory  of That  Light  which  will  hold  mankind 
steady  in its slightest  effort;  in the forward  movement  and 
expansion  of its Light  and  Freedom! Beloved  Ones  who 
have  the Light  thus  far, you  should  be determined  in your 
Calls  to Life  for your  fellow-man;  until  the point  is reached 
wherein  the Great  Light  Itself,  hold  Individuals  within  a 420 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
certain  Grasp,  as it were;  until  they  can be sustained  in the 
achievement! Try to understand  your  Great  Privilege  today;  and  re-
member  you  are nearing  the time,  when  you  will  be com-
pelled  to stand  within  the Radiance  of your  own  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence." Only  so far, can such  Powerful  Assistance 
be given! Then,  you  must  take  hold  and  finish! So, utilize 
the Opportunity  in the Radiance  which  is being  given  now; 
and go forward  like  a rocket  which  you  can  do in This 
Great  Attainment! May  I say something  most  encouraging? My  Dear  Ones, 
observing  the Activity  of This  Light  for five  years  and  see-
ing the achievement  here;  it is the Greatest  Encouragement 
to Us in the Continued  Expansion  of the Light  in man-
kind;  and  It will  expand  and  continue,  until  the Full  Vol-
ume  which  We  require  is released. I rejoice  with  you  in 
your  willingness  to serve  the  Light;  and  in your  Great 
Loving  Gratitude  to the Messengers,  Saint  Germain  and 
to Life. Oh, My Dear  Ones,  I appreciate  your  Great  Love  for the 
Messengers,  but  one  day  when  you  see what  they  really 
have  meant  to America  and  the  World,  then  will  your 
Gratitude  be great  indeed. Today,  to find  the Response  to 
the Light  from  the  people  of America,  is a Magnificent 
Attainment. I congratulate  you,  I thank  you,  I bless  you 
for your  interest,  for your  determination  to have  the Free-
dom  of Life! Go on,  My  Beloved  Children,  and  We  will  give  you DISCOURSE  XXIII  421 
every  Assistance  which  is possible  to be given. Remember 
Blessed  Ones  of Chicago,  We  shall  be watching  over  you! We shall  be standing  ready,  to give  you  every  Assistance 
for which  you  will  earnestly  call. May  you  remember,  that  for the  Victory  of the Light 
in your  city,  you  must  have  Harmony. There  must  be Love 
to one  another;  your  willingness  to put  human  qualities 
aside;  and  join,  as One  Great  Point  of Light,  for the Bless-
ing of mankind  in America! I feel  definitely  sure,  that 
every  one of you  will  rejoice  greatly  to give  This  Obedience 
to Life. May  the Powers  of your  Light,  lift you  quickly  into  Its 
Final—Its  Eternal  Freedom,  Its Perfect  Health  and  the 
GLORY  OF  THE  LIGHT  BE IN FULL  COMMAND 
OF EVERY  ONE;  to produce  Its Harmony  and  Perfection 
everywhere  for you  forever! I thank  you.

        May  you 
realize  This  is the  Observation  of Life,  of you  and  your 
world;  for the coming  activity  of the six months  before  you. It is Our  Desire  to hasten,  to intensify  the Expansion  of 
Your  Light  as rapidly  as possible,  owing  to the  require-
ments  at this  time. Therefore,  if there  are any  in the room 
who  do not wish  Me  to do so, just  send  Me your  thought 
and I shall  pass  you  by. This  is a Definite  Activity  of Life, 
and while  little  is understood  in the outer  world,  yet We 
understand  It quite  well. If you  care  to co-operate  with  My 
Sincere  Efforts,  which  are  Infinite,  then  you  will  profit 
greatly  by It. The Western  World  has  been  unaccustomed  to these 
more  Idealistic  Great  Laws  of Life,  which  you  are coming 
into now. So, if you  do not understand  all that  I do or call 
to your  attention,  please  just  accept  It. Your  Heart  knows. 384 DISCOURSE  XXIII  385 
Your  Higher  Mental  Body  knows. Your  Higher  Mental 
Bodies  have  called  to Me to render  This  Service. It is not 
only  of My Volition,  but It is the Call  of your  Life,  which 
causes  Me to be here  today,  to render  This  Service. There-
fore,  the Greater  Part  of the Activity  will  take  place  thru 
your  feeling  world;  thru  the atomic  structure  of your  body 
in the Expansion  of the Points  of Light  which  are there. As 
you realize  it, please  hold  yourselves  as quiet  as possible, 
and no matter  what  I might  say  during  the  Dictation, 
please  just  remain  seated. Today,  I wish  you  to remain  as 
quiet  as possible,  in order  to render  This  Service. In rendering  My  Service  to Bob,  Rex,  Nada,  Pearl,  this 
Good  Messenger  and  those  who  were  present  in Chananda's 
Home,  it was  an Eternal—an  Ever-lasting  Thing. THERE 
ARE  THOUSANDS  AMONG  THE  STUDENTS, 
HUNDREDS  WHO  ARE  HERE,  FOR  WHOM  IT 
IS POSSIBLE  TO  MAKE  THE  ASCENSION,  THRU 
THE  NEW  DISPENSATION. I ask  all of you,  even 
though  you  might  be here  for the first  time,  to please  accept 
That,  as a Possible  Activity  in your  experience. Thus,  you 
will make  and  hold  yourselves  ready  for all your  Stream 
of Life  wishes  to do. Remember,  We never  perform  a Service  of This  Kind  for 
any one,  unless  your  own  Life  Stream  is calling  to Us, be-
cause  It is the Authority  for you. We  may  render  many 
other  kinds  of Service,  but This  is only  at the Call  of your 
own  Life  Stream. Since  It is such  a Definite  Action,  I ask 
you in the future,  no matter  what  conditions  confront  you, 386 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
to remain  as poised  in Self-control  as possible. OUR  AC-
TIVITY  WILL  GO  ON,  DAY  AND  NIGHT  WHILE 
YOUR  BODIES  SLEEP  AND  ALSO  WHILE  THEY 
ARE  WAKING. IT IS A CONSTANT  ACTIVITY 
WHICH  WILL  GO  ON,  IN ITS  CLEANSING,  PURI-
FYING  ACTION  OF  PERFECTION. SINCE  THE 
GODDESS  OF  PURITY  HAS  COME  FORTH,  LIFE 
DEMANDS  THIS  SERVICE  BE  RENDERED  YOU. Never  in the  outer  world,  has  anything  been  so mag-
nificent  as This  Class,  for all who  have  been  privileged  to 
be present. That  is the reason  for Our  Service  coming  to 
you today. Life  is holding  All in Its Magnificent  Readiness 
for release  to you. Beloved  Ones,  in the lack  of understand-
ing, Oh how  you  have  pushed  aside,  as it were—some  of 
you for several  life times,  the Magnificent  Perfection  which 
Life—I  cannot  quite  say struggled  to bring  forth,  because 
Life in Itself  never  struggles—but  thru  the Higher  Mental 
Body,  saw  the possibility  of giving  to you. Your  feeling 
often  caused  a tremendous  struggle  in trying  to free  Itself, 
and reach  out for the Blessings,  which  It knew  were  there; 
but when  the attention  was  held  so powerfully  on the con-
ditions  of the outer  world,  the appearance  world,  the feeling 
was not able  to release  the Blessing  of Life. That  is why,  if you  understand  the Great  Extreme  Priv-
ilege  which  is yours  in Our  Understanding  of Life;  you 
will see how  in co-operating  with  It, today,  you  have  made 
it possible  for This  Service  to be rendered. Please  do not 
pass any human  opinions  about  what  I shall  do. You  know DISCOURSE  XXIII  387 
nothing  about  it; but  I know  exactly  what  I AM  doing, 
and I AM  doing  it. Therefore,  be kind  enough  to accept 
ALL  I offer,  even  though  you  might  be here  for the first 
time. Later  you  will  see and  understand  why  It has  been 
done. The need  of mankind  today  is so great,  every  possible 
effort  Life  can permit,  is being  made;  and  I know  many  of 
you have  sufficient  Release  of Light,  to understand  the Im-
port of My  Words,  and  that  which  I shall  do for you. Re-
member,  in all which  is done,  except  in a few  Activities  of 
the Currents  of Energy,  you  may,  if you  so determine,  undo 
it; because  you  are the Authority  as to how  the Currents  of 
Energy  will  act. In the Service  which  has been  rendered  in 
Previous  Classes  in preparation  for This,  a few  have  deter-
mined  not to give  obedience. They  have  made  it impossible 
for Us to give  them  the Blessing,  but that  cannot  be helped. It is the choice  of the Individual;  but  you,  today,  who  are 
understanding  sufficiently  to know  something  of the Mean-
ing of My Words,  I am sure  will  not fail to give  the Obedi-
ence  to Life;  which  enables  This  Mighty  Work  to go on in 
Its Blessing,  Its Perfecting  Activity;  for the Release  of your 
America—for  the Release  of your  America  from  going  thru 
the destruction  which  would  destroy  its people. That,  is 
why  We  have  brought  about  such  Powerful  Means  of 
reaching  mankind;  and  We will  reach  two  million  people 
more  within  this  year. I want  you  to realize  THIS  is not an ordinary  thing. It is 
a Mighty  Activity  of your  own  Life;  calling  as the "Call  to 388 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Light,"  indicates  to you,  for Its Freedom—not  only  calling, 
but demanding  It. How  is it that  Life  can demand  certain 
things  now,  when  It never  has before. Because  of the Cos-
mic Dispensation  which  has been  given. The  Source  of all 
Life to this  planet  has said,  the Light  must  expand  within 
the people  on this  planet. Since  This  Group  of people  has 
been  chosen  as the "Cup  of Light,"  the Heart  Focus  for the 
Earth;  you  who  are ready  to give  attention  and  obedience 
to Life,  must  be those  thru  whom  This  Light  first  expands. Its Radiance  pouring  forth  in your  Calls,  touches  the feel-
ing world  and  activity  of others  of mankind. It would  be almost  incredible,  if I were  to state  to you 
mathematically,  the Power  with  which  This  "I AM"  In-
struction  does  reach  mankind. I mean  by that,  the power 
of the  momentum  which  you  have  gained  within  This 
Class,  especially. When  you  set ponderous  machinery  into 
action—for  instance,  in your  electric  plants  for generat-
ing the power,  for heating,  lighting  and  all electrical  ac-
tivity,  you  must  have  things  in order. If something  is out 
of order,  then  the entire  activity  is held  in abeyance;  until 
it is put  into  order,  so the whole  may  go forth  in BAL-
ANCED  ACTIVITY. While  you  are in somewhat  of a similar  position,  Life 
will not  permit  you,  who  are ready  to give  obedience,  to 
longer  be held  back  by others  who  might  not give  the obedi-
ence. Therefore,  I am more  than  delighted  today,  to call 
your  attention  to these  facts;  because  in the mass  raising 
activity,  it would  largely  depend  on the  combined  Har-DISCOURSE  XXIII  389 
mony  and  Obcdience. Since  Life  has  made  this  slight 
change,  I am grateful  those  who  can,  may  go forward  now, 
and the others  follow  later,  if necessary. Today,  in accepting  the Vast  Power  and  Freedom,  thru 
the Dispensation  for your  Ascension,  I ask  you,  Beloved 
Ones;  please  do not look  upon  this  idly. Do not think  it is 
just someone's  imagination. It is a Reality,  and  remember, 
those  who  accept  Our  Assistance  and  do enter  into  the 
Ascension,  will  never  in eternity  return  to this dense  sphere 
of Earth. They  will  function  forever  in their  Purified,  Per-
fected  Bodies,  as We are doing  today. Think  of it. This  is not said  to make  you  feel bad;  but to 
make  you  feel charged,  with  the Current  of Energy  which 
is contained  in My  Words. Some  of you  were  with  Me at 
the time  so long  ago,  when  I went  forward  and  you  chose  to 
give your  attention  to the things  of the world. Now,  once 
again,  We  meet  to go forward  together. The Greatest,  Mightiest  of all the Power  of Understand-
ing, is this  one  point. Think,  thru  so many  hundreds  of 
centuries,  you  have  played  with  the  things  of the  outer 
world. In My choice  to go forward,  in the Perfection  which 
was Ours  then,  I have  gone  on into  This  Great  Glorious 
Dominion  and  Authority  over  Life. It makes  it possible  for 
Me to now  give  you  Our  Assistance  today. Please  see what 
Almighty  Progress  has  been  made,  since  those  Children 
came  to Chananda's  Home  in India  with  your  Messenger.
