Just  make  yourselves  willingly 
obedient  and  open  to these  Great  Currents  of Energy,  as I 
call them  forth;  to pour  thru  your  bodies,  your  feeling 
world,  so This  Service  may  be rendered  completely  for you 
tonight. I speak  directly  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  of each 
one. I command  the Higher  Mental  Body  of each  one,  to 
release  and  pour  forth  the  Mighty  Current  of the Unfed 
Flame  thru  and  under  the feet  of each  one. Hold  in Its 
Mighty  Action,  the  Violet  Consuming  Flame  so all im-
purity  may  be washed  out of the human  body;  out of the 
feeling  world  and  into  the  Mighty  Violet  Consuming 
Flame,  to free  these  Beloved  Ones  tonight! Render  This 
Service  so powerfully,  Higher  Mental  Body  of each  one, 
that they  may  feel  It now;  and  awaken  in the morning, 
glorified  by the  Power  of the  Light  which  beats  their 
Hearts. With  Its Mighty  Courage,  Strength  and  Power 
flowing  thru,  may  each  be a world  of such  Happiness,  Cour-
age, Strength,  the Full  Power  and  Feeling  of their  Domin-
ion over  all conditions. Then  nothing  longer  obstructs  the 
way in their  feeling  world,  to this  Mighty  Presence  of 
Light,  as It flows  forth  to perform  Its Service  for them. We stand  in the Presence  of Life  as Its Mighty  Power  and 
Currents  of Energy  are flooding  forth  now  into  and  thru 
your  bodies,  sweeping  out  all imperfection! The  Light 
when  you  call  It forth,  knows  no opposition. It flows  in, 
thru  and  around  your  physical  body;  thru  your  feeling 
world,  dissolving,  consuming  and  sweeping  out every  lim-THE  "l AM99  DISCOURSES 
iting  discordant,  destructive  quality  which  has been  acting 
there. Then,  as you  remain  harmonious  accepting  this— 
qualify  It eternally  sustained  in action  for you;  so It may 
render  this  Perfect  Service. When  you  retire  tonight,  going  to your  peaceful  won-
drous  rest,  which  you  shall  have—call  your  Presence  of Life, 
your  Higher  Mental  Body,  to release  Its Mighty  Current  of 
Energy  while  your  body  sleeps. Then,  there  is no resistance. Charge  it with  the Perfection  of Life! Qualify  it to dissolve 
and consume  every  discordant  thing,  which  has ever  been 
there. Then,  as you awaken  in the morning  remind  yourself 
with  the Joy of all Life,  that  your  Great  Blessing  is Joy! Its 
Mighty  Action  and  Perfection  manifesting  in you  and  your 
world;  filled  with  the Glory  of all Life  holds,  in Its Mighty 
Stream,  as It flows  into  your  body,  beats  your  Heart  and 
gives  you  action. We thank  you  Mighty  Presence  of Life  for answering 
This  Command;  for holding  It sustained  forever,  until  each 
hour,  each  day,  greater  Harmony,  greater  Perfection  mani-
fest within  the body,  the mental  and  feeling  world  of each 
one;  charged  with  the Glory  of all Happiness  which  is the 
Perfection  of Life,  now  and  forever  sustained. I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XXII

SEATTLE,  WASHINGTON 
BROADCAST 
Beloved  People  of America,  in endeavoring  to assist  you 
in the understanding  and  operation  of the Laws  of Life, 
remember,  you  are an Individualized  Presence  of God,  the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"  of Light! Therefore,  you  have 
Authority  even  in the human  octave,  thru  your  Call  to the 
Presence  of Life,  to call forth  whatever  you  will;  knowing 
of course  your  motive  must  be Constructive  and  your  Desire 
blessing  everywhere  you  move;  and  that  means  Life,  your 
fellow-man  and  your  activities. As long  as mankind  understands  that  all destructive 
forces  and  their  qualities,  eventually  return  upon  the In-
dividual  who  generates  them;  then  there  should  be no de-
sire anywhere  among  the  people  of Earth  to do things 
which  mankind  is constantly  doing,  and  which  bring  the 
reaction  of discordant  activities  upon  Individuals. We have  become  Free,  thru  Our  Conscious  Application 
of the Great  Law  of Life. Your  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has 
brought  forth  the Exact  Law  of Life,  Its Perfect  Applica-
tion—the  Complete  Understanding  of Its Application. You 
may  apply  It, if you will. The  Individual  who  will  earnestly 
apply  It, will  have  all the Proof  anyone  desires,  that  This 
345 346 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Law,  the Explanation  and  the Application  which  He has 
brought  forth,  is True! Unless  one  uses  the Law  thru  his 
own  application,  how  can anyone  know  Its Power  ? For in-
stance,  you  may  listen  to a Truth,  but if you  do not believe 
It, how  can  you  be blessed  by It ? In all the Simplicity  of Life  and  Its Majestic  Power,  you 
must  understand  that  Life  acts  thru  Its Energy,  Its Power, 
Its Light! To understand  and  have  the use of It, you  must 
have  some  Definite  Application. In your  mathematical 
work  in school,  you  have  a way  and  means  by which  you 
work  out and  solve  the problems. Life  has always  provided 
the EXACT  MEANS;  and  when  I say "exact"  I mean  just 
that,  by which  mankind  may  solve  its own  problems. What 
you call problems  after  all, are just opportunities  in Life,  by 
which  Individuals  strengthen  their  Spiritual  Powers,  their 
spiritual  muscles,  as it were;  and  release  into  their  world 
of action,  the Power  of Life  in greater  intensity. Beloved  People  of America,  mankind  has arrived  at last 
at the understanding  for those  who  care  to study,  where  the 
people  are no longer  slaves  of circumstances. Remember, 
Beloved  People  of America,  the conditions  which  exist  to-
day, are here  because  Individuals  have  succumbed  to the 
idea,  that  some  outside  conditions  had  power  to limit  or 
subject  them! In order  to have  the fulness  of what  you  re-
quire,  you  must  overcome  such  an idea. YOU  MUST  RE-
MOVE  THE  FEELING  IN  YOU,  THAT  SOME-
THING  OUTSIDE  OF  YOU  HAS  MORE  POWER 
THAN  THE  LIGHT  WHICH  IS WITHIN  YOU. DISCOURSE  XXII  347 
With  great  firmness  stand  by the Power  of your  Life, 
to which  you  have  not  heretofore  given  very  much  con-
sideration. You  have  accepted  It constantly  in the  small 
part of It which  has been  flowing  forth  into  your  world  of 
action;  because,  unless  you  know  the  Source  of a thing, 
unless  you  know  the Power  which  is there,  how  can  you 
have  its use ? If you  have  a piece  of machinery  in the  mechanical 
world;  and  it has many  levers,  setting  certain  parts  of that 
machinery  into  operation;  if you  pull  the wrong  lever,  you 
will get a wrong  result;  but if you  understand  your  levers 
and pull  the right  one,  you  will  have  the exact  result  you 
expect. It is identically  the same  way  in applying  the Great 
Laws  of Life! Once  you  understand,  you  have  the Author-
ity to act in the human  octave  in your  human  form,  to call 
forth  the  Power  of Life,  to produce  Harmony  and  Per-
fection  in you  and  your  world,  then  you  are complying 
with  the Law  of Life  and  Its Requirement. As you  go on, 
continuing  to call It forth,  clearer  and  clearer  will  come  the 
Understanding  from  within  you,  of what  This  Application 
means  in the Requirement  of your  Life. Then,  as you  un-
derstand  more  and  more,  the  Power  released  is greater; 
your  confidence  is strengthened,  and  you  say:  well  I accom-
plished  that! Then  you  go on, and  on, from  one  achieve-
ment  to another. Beloved  People  of America,  and  Beloved  "I AM"  Stu-
dents,  you  have  nothing  in the future  to fear,  not one thing! In This  Understanding  of the Law  of Life,  you  become 348 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Master  and  Controller  of the ENERGY  which  flows  forth 
at your  command. I say,  "at your  Command,"  because  you 
are the Decreer  for your  world,  as to where  and  how  that 
energy  is going  to act. At your  Command,  the Power  of 
the Energy  of Life,  will  flow  forth  to a given  objective;  if 
you understand  the Power  of Concentration  and  the need 
of holding  your  attention  upon  your  Goal! Perhaps  you  do not  realize  and  understand  that  your 
concentration  is your  attention! When  you  hold  your  atten-
tion fixed  upon  a given  objective  to be attained,  the Power 
of Life  flows  thru,  with  Its Infinite  Irresistible  Power  and 
acts,  until  you  have  the results,  you  desire. That  is why  your 
fixed  attention  upon  a thing,  understanding  the Power  of 
Life,  will  release  the  Infinite  Power  of action  there;  the 
Power,  Substance  and  Intelligence  to constantly  govern  the 
activity,  until  the result  is attained. When  you  wish  to accomplish  a thing,  decide  upon  what 
you want  to do; so far as your  outer  intelligence  will  in-
struct  you! If you  are uncertain  in any  way,  call the Power 
of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  is your  Individ-
ualized  Presence  of God—the  Presence  of Life,  into  action 
to instruct  you;  to stand  by and  see that  you  do the RIGHT 
THING,  if there  seems  to be a lack  of understanding  in 
the outer  consciousness! You  are not taking  chances. You 
are not dealing  with  indefinite  results;  but you  are the DI-
RECTOR  OF  THE  ENERGY,  to produce  the certain  re-
sult you  require. If you  will  do this,  any  one can prove  This  Great  Law  to DISCOURSE  XXIII  349 
himself  or herself;  and  to the whole  world;  because  you 
are a Part  of the Great  Life  and  Its Mighty  Activity  in the 
human  octave. All human  forms  which  are here  in em-
bodiment  at one time,  are a Part  of the One  Great  Life,  and 
Its Mighty  Action! To the degree  Individuals  understand 
how  to call  forth  the Greater  Power  and  Action  of Life, 
will they  become  a GREATER  PART  IN THE  EXPAN-
SION  OF THAT  ONE  GREAT  LIFE. I ask  you  to observe  the  vast  number  of mankind  on 
Earth  and  how  each  one  is different. No one has identically 
the same  desire;  no two  are just  alike. Then,  you  can  see 
how  earnestly  Life  has tried  to find  a means  of expression; 
to pour  Its Perfection  into  the Earth,  where  mankind  hav-
ing forgotten  Life,  has  charged  and  filled  its atmosphere 
with  discord,  limitations  and  distress  of every  kind! Mankind  had  wholly  forgotten  there  was  an Individ-
ualized  Great  Presence  of Life,  and  how  each  one  could 
call and  release  a Greater  Power,  a Greater  Intelligence! People  did not know  it was  possible. Even  with  all the at-
tempts  which  have  been  made  to instruct  mankind  in the 
Higher  Ideals  of understanding,  still  the people  felt a mys-
terious  condition;  that  it had  to be done  in some  compli-
cated  manner;  so Individuals  might  seek  from  another, 
some  peculiar  manifestation  of the  Explanation  of Life! That  is where  the confusion  of mankind  has come  in, con-
cerning  the Entire  Universe. In fact,  It was  so simple  the 
mass  of mankind  has not believed  It. In the Application  of Life,  again  it is simple,  but  very 350 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Powerful  and  Majestic  in Its Action,  and  will  produce  exact 
results. Therefore,  if you  want  to be Free,  first  you  must 
keep  yourself  obedient  to Life,  which  is Harmony. That 
is the Out-pouring  of Divine  Love,  thru  the  Individual. The human  cannot  generate  Divine  Love;  because  it is 
charged  with  human  qualities;  but  in its capacity  to call 
forth  from  the  Presence,  Life's  Power—which  is Wholly 
Pure  and  Perfect—the  outer  self  can  call  and  send  forth 
in a Mighty  Stream  of Action,  by currents  of Energy—the 
Power  of Divine  Love,  which  harmonizes  each  one's  world! It prepares  the way  for the Great  Intelligence  of Life,  to 
bring  about  conditions  to produce  the  Perfection  the  In-
dividual  requires! Therefore,  if you  want  to understand  This,  try it out! If 
you do not succeed  to your  fullest  desire,  remember  a great 
city is not built  in a day! You  are a World  within  yourself. Beloved  Individuals,  do you quite  understand  that  ? You  are 
an Individualized  World  within  yourself,  within  your  own 
feeling  world  and  its capacity. Therefore,  when  you  turn 
to the Presence  of Life,  with  the desire  to perfect  yourself, 
you are perfecting  the World! You might  say to Me—my  world  is of small  dimension 
—but  who  shall  say how  far reaching  that  world  of yours 
will become  or how  it will  expand  ? You  are One  in Life 
remember! Your  feeling  world—your  thoughts  and  your 
feeling  go out to the periphery  of Life! It goes  to the farthest 
distance! Therefore,  to the degree  that  you  are perfecting 
yourself,  will  you  lift and  assist  in perfecting  all which DISCOURSE  XXIII  351 
touches  your  world,  individually  or otherwise. That  is how 
far-reaching  your  World  can  become! Further  than  that,  you  have  a Great  Privilege  in pouring 
forth  your  Blessings  to Nature,  who  has had  the discord  of 
mankind  poured  upon  her Great  Beauty  and  Perfection. It 
is time  now  mankind  awakened  to its responsibility;  and 
poured  out Love  and  Blessings  upon  Nature. Thus,  Nature 
will come  back  and  produce  for Individuals,  the Limitless 
Abundance  they  require  of every  good  thing. Therefore,  co-
operate  with  Life! When  Life  sees  the Individual  is ready, 
It will  pour  out Its Limitless  Blessings  everywhere! You are dealing  with  Life,  and  That  Dispenser  of Life 
which  is your  Higher  Mental  Body,  knows  with  Great  In-
telligence  all requirements,  all demands  and  how  all an-
swers  are to come! There  is no such  thing  in Life  as dealing 
with  blind  Intelligence. All Intelligence,  even  in Nature,  all 
Activity  is governed  by a Great  Intelligence;  but mankind's 
disobedience  to Life,  has caused  people  to believe  this  was 
not True! I say to you,  as One  in Authority  for the Earth: 
"There  is no such  thing  as chance"! Mankind's  earthly  activity,  if the attention  be given  to 
Life,  will  be provided  and  directed  with  mechanical  ac-
curacy,  into  that  which  each  Life  Stream  demands! Individ-
uals will  not find  any  chance  anywhere  along  their  Path-
way of Life;  but  since  mankind  had  forgotten  THE 
SOURCE  OF  LIFE  WITHIN  NATURE,  people  have 
believed  that  all from  the outer  standpoint,  must  be a form 
of chance. 352 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
When  you  understand  that  you  are the "Beloved  Mighty 
I AM  Presence,"  the Individualized  Presence  of Life,  the 
Greatest  Intelligence  in the Universe,  then  you  know  noth-
ing in your  experience—your  Life  Stream  can  be chance! It is under  Great  Intelligent  Direction;  but if you  refuse  to 
give obedience  to It, you  cannot  blame  Life  for not  pro-
ducing  Its Perfection  for you. Life  is always  ready;  always 
wants  to produce  Its Great  Perfection;  but  since  you  had 
forgotten  Its Source,  how  could  you  have  all It contains  ? Beloved  Friends  of America,  you  are dealing  with  a Def-
inite  Law,  a Definite  Power! It is your  Life  called  forth  into 
action! Search  out the Great  Truth  of Life  which  is in the 
Saint  Germain  Series  of books! There  you  will  find  the Ap-
plication,  the Understanding,  the Explanation. Then  apply 
It and  see what  Life  will  do for you! There  is no mystery 
about  It! Try  It! The  Messengers  who  have  carried  This 
Light  forth  with  such  earnest  firm  determination,  have  said 
that to thousands  and  thousands  of people! From  Our  Rec-
ords,  which  We  have  in the Invisible,  there  are over  six 
hundred  and  seventy  thousand  people  now  in This  "I AM" 
Activity! Therefore,  it is more  than  an ordinary  activity;  more 
than  a human  activity;  for WE  HAVE  SO  PREPARED 
THE  AIR  CURRENTS,  WHICH  THE  OUTER 
WORLD  DOES  NOT  UNDERSTAND,  BY  WHICH 
THE  FEELING  WORLD  OF  MANKIND  RECEIVES 
THE  MIGHTY  RADIATION,  GOING  FORTH  IN 
THE  WORDS  WHICH  THE  MESSENGERS  SPEAK DISCOURSE  XXIII  353 
OR WE  SPEAK! Therefore,  We  are rendering  a Service 
to the Earth  unknown  and  quite  unbelievable  to a great 
many  as yet;  but  This  Work  shall  go on, until  there  are 
ten times  or more,  as many  people  as today  who  under-
stand  It; or at least  have  the opportunity  to understand, 
there  is a Great  God  Presence  above  each  human  Being, 
which  beats  each  Heart;  and  gives  Individuals  Life  and 
Intelligence,  by which  they  can expand  the Fulness  of all 
Life wishes  to express  or give  forth  thru  them. Today,  you  stand  in the Fulness  of the Presence  of Life! Why  do I say that  to you,  who  do not understand  yet This 
Great  Law? Because  by the Power  of the Cosmic  Light, 
which  is acting  in the feeling  world  of mankind,  you  are 
standing  now—this  moment—in  the Gateway  of Freedom. Your  chance  to enter  in and  go forward  or turn  aside  and 
go the human  way,  is quite  within  your  own  judgment 
and privilege;  for that  remains  within  the  action  of your 
Free  will  and  choice. Since  I am speaking  to you  direct  from  the Cosmic  Law 
today,  may  you  understand  and  feel the Great  Cosmic  Love 
which  reaches  out Its Arms,  and  enfolds  you  in the Glory 
of the Perfection  Life  wants  you  to manifest. To the degree 
you are willing  to accept  those  Enfolding  Arms  of Light, 
that Out-pouring  of Divine  Love  into  your  Hearts,  will  you 
be able  to understand;  there  is far more  on Earth  than  that 
of which  you  have  thus  far dreamed. Mankind  is awakening  to the Power  of the Light,  which 
is within  the Individual. For  centuries  and  centuries,  man-354 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
kind  has  understood  that  God  was  within;  that  Christ  is 
within. Today,  the people  are going  to have  the opportunity 
to prove  HOW  MUCH  OF IT IS THERE! THIS  PROV-
ING  WILL  FIND  THAT  GOD  REALLY  IS THERE, 
AND  THAT  CHRIST,  THE  ACTION  OF  GOD,  IS 
REALLY  THERE! CHRIST  IS NOT  JUST  A PRIN-
CIPLE. CHRIST  IS THE  ACTION  OF GOD,  PEOPLE 
OF EARTH! THE  FULL  POWER  OF  ITS  MANI-
FESTATION,  WILL  BRING  PERFECTION  INTO 
ANY  HUMAN  LIFE. IT WILL  MAKE  THAT  LIFE 
EVEN  IN  THE  HUMAN  OCTAVE,  DIVINE  IN-
STEAD  OF  HUMAN! THEREFORE,  YOUR  HEARTS,  PEOPLE  OF 
AMERICA,  ARE  DIVINE. THE  POWER  WHICH  IS 
THERE—THE  LIGHT,  GOD,  WHICH  IS IN YOUR 
PHYSICAL  HEART  IS DIVINE;  SO  ONE  ORGAN 
OF YOUR  BODY  IS DIVINE! PLEASE  ACCEPT  IT, 
AND  ALLOW  DIVINITY  TO  EXPAND  ITSELF 
INTO  THE  FULNESS  OF  ALL  LIFE  HAS! THEN 
YOU,  TOO,  WILL  SEE  AS I DO,  THAT  GOD  IS THE 
DOMINION  OF EARTH  AND  ALL  WHICH  IT CON-
TAINS. YOU  CAN  PROVE  THIS! YOU  CAN  FEEL 
ITS MIGHTY  GLORY! I ASK  YOU  TO  FEEL  IT TO-
DAY! Beloved  Students,  My  Joy today,  in bringing  to you  the 
Radiation,  the Power  of Life,  is not so much  the  Words 
which  I shall  say to you,  but the Power  of Radiation. You 
probably  do not see Me! I stand  above,  pouring  My  Radi-DISCOURSE  XXIII  355 
ance  to you,  as I flash  the Words  to the Messenger. Will 
you be kind  enough,  in the  Fulness  of the  Great  Love 
which  you  have  expressed  in This  Class,  to open  the Doors 
of your  Hearts—of  your  feeling  world;  and  let the Liquid 
Light  pour  forth  today,  in Its Final  Achievement  of all 
which  I wish  to do for you  ? Let Its Fulness  flow  forth! May 
I remind  you,  This  is the Greatest  Invincible  Protection  to 
you,  which  We  have  given  forth  thus  far! The Liquid  Light  will  protect  you  from  human  sug-
gestions;  from  discarnate  entities  attaching  themselves  to 
your  feeling  world;  and  from  the influence  of black  magi-
cians. This  is what  I have  started  forth  and  will  continue 
to pour  to the students  who  have  Right  Motives;  who  have 
earnest  intensity  to the Light! Remember,  Beloved  Ones, 
there  is nothing  hidden  from  the Light. We  know  exactly 
what  is in your  feeling,  in your  motive! Therefore,  do not 
try ever  to deceive  each  other;  or worst  of all try to deceive 
yourselves. Unfortunately,  many  of mankind  in the attempt 
to deceive  others,  have  only  deceived  themselves. Remember,  if you  do not have  the Blessing,  it is because 
something  is acting  in your  feeling  world—possibly  un-
known  to you. If you  would  be sincere  in asking  for every-
thing  else  but  the Perfection  of Life,  to be taken  out  of 
your  feeling  world,  you  would  prepare  yourself  for This 
Blessing. This  is not just  so many  Words! It is a Substance 
of Life,  charged  into  your  feeling  world. Since  so much  has 
been  accomplished—I  cannot  take  the time  to even  intimate 
to you  all that  has been  accomplished,  but sufficient  I think 356 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
has been  said,  to give  you  some  idea  and  to make  your 
Hearts  rejoice  forever—you  who  are sincere;  that  it was 
your  Privilege  to be present  at an Out-pouring  of This 
Kind. Because  a thing  is invisible,  Beloved  Students,  does  not 
mean  that  it is not tangible. My Presence  is invisible  to you; 
but I am VERY  TANGIBLE  and  My Currents  of Energy 
are VERY  TANGIBLE. Therefore,  as you  feel This  Glow 
in your  feeling  world,  try to understand  what  It means  and 
the uplift  which  It brings  into  your  feeling! Shall  I say something  to you  which  reveals  the mathe-
matical  precision  of This  Activity,  which  you  will  perhaps 
appreciate  ? In twenty  minutes,  the vibratory  action  of your 
bodies  has  been  lifted  twenty  percent  more,  than  it was 
twenty  minutes  ago. This  you  do not  understand  out-
wardly;  but  to Us, it is VERY  TANGIBLE. I ask you  to 
qualify  all that  is done  to be eternally  sustained  within  you; 
because  We  are here  for Definite  Action. We  are here  for 
Definite  Results  in your  Life  and  This  is to be sustained. We 
have  for almost  nine  months,  watched  for the opportunity 
where  We  could  begin  to render  This  Service  for the  "I 
AM"  Students. You have  read  of Bob,  Rex,  Nada,  Pearl  and  the Mes-
sengers,  who  came  to Me in India  and  in the Cave  of Light, 
described  in the last  chapter  of the Magic  Presence. That 
was all very  Real,  Beloved  Students. Far  more  Real  than 
you yet comprehend;  but as you  read  and  contemplate  that 
chapter,  steadily  and  surely,  there  will  come  the Full  Import DISCOURSE  XXIII  357 
into your  outer  consciousness  thru  your  feeling  world,  of 
just what  It means. Today,  you  are living  in a world  charged  with  human 
discord  and  mankind  must  have  more  than  ordinary  pro-
tection;  and  also  the students  who  want  to go forth  to Vic-
tory. Therefore,  This  Assistance  is being  given,  Beloved 
Ones;  and  I trust  that  every  one  of you  can  comprehend 
and feel  the Truth  of Those  Words! If you  can,  then  We 
will be able  to render  Greater  and  Greater  continued  Serv-
ice. Do you  think,  Beloved  Ones,  that  the Messengers  would 
come  and  come,  again  and  again  into  your  midst;  and  We 
would  pour  forth  the Radiation,  which  is released  in These 
Classes,  if We  had  not some  Definite  Purpose  for it ? To 
be a temporary  thing  would  be well;  but  in the ultimate, 
it would  be comparatively  useless. Therefore,  ALL  THAT 
WE DO  HAS  A PERMANENT  SUSTAINING  ACTIV-
ITY;  AND  NO  ONE  CAN  RELAX  OR  SLIP  BACK 
FROM  THIS  WHICH  WE  BRING  TO  YOU. Beloved  Ones  of Seattle,  the  difference  between  your 
Inner  vibratory  action  now  and  one  year  ago,  is remark-
able. If I were  to tell you  exactly,  you  would  scarcely  believe 
Me. You  do not see yet the Out-picturing  of That,  as per-
haps  many  of you  would  like  to, but I know  It is there! I 
know  the Inner  Achievement  is there! I know  the clearing 
away  of conditions  which  is releasing  you  into  your  Free-
dom  is acting! Depending  upon  the acceptance  in your  feeling  and  con-358 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
sciousness,  that  all and  more  than  We  have  intimated  is 
being  done,  do you  have  the Release  of the Courage  and 
Strength  you  require. Thru  your  acceptance  of It, will  It 
hold  you  sustained,  until  you  see the Greater  and  Greater 
Out-picturing  of all that  must  necessarily  come  forth,  from 
within  out. All mankind  thru  long  centuries,  have  been 
bringing  things  from  without  in; and  as you know,  largely 
the things  they  did not want. Now  in reversing  the process, 
you are bringing  forth  the Perfection  of Life  from  within, 
instead  of human  conditions  from  outside. I urge  you  and  repeat  it again,  Beloved  Ones,  since  you 
have  done  this  for centuries,  remember  how  alert  must  be 
the guard. Do not for one  moment  give  Power  any  longer 
to outside  things,  persons,  places  or conditions! If you  con-
tinue  to do so, We cannot  help  you;  but in a limited  man-
ner; but if you  will  dismiss  them  and  know,  since  you  have 
observed  This  Chart,  that  your  Presence  is the Governing 
Intelligence,  all discord  must  dissolve. With  your  attention 
to It, all human  qualities  and  conditions  must  dissolve  and 
disappear! Then,  you  will  have  acted  in the best  manner 
possible,  for Us to give  you  the Full  Assistance  We  would 
like to; but if there  is doubt  or questioning  in your  mind, 
you will  constantly  requalify  the energy;  until  you  will  only 
have  the partial  result  of all We would  like  to give. Surely,  you  who  have  known  the  Messengers  during 
these  years,  have  come  to know  definitely  they  are honest 
and sincere;  and  THE  TRUTH  WHICH  THEY  HAVE 
GIVEN  FORTH  IS FROM  US DIRECT! Now  these  are DISCOURSE  XXIII  359 
important  points. If there  are those  who  are here  for the 
first time,  you  must  understand,  that  all things  which  stir 
up in mankind—intense  fear  or whatever  the discordant 
condition  is, are depriving  the people  thru  listening  to what 
disturbs  them;  and  holding  them  in their  binding  limita-
tion. You who  have  THIS  OPPORTUNITY,  need  no longer 
go on in any  kind  of limitation,  in any  distress  in your 
physical  body,  after  this  which  has been  done  for you  here! You can  have  the sensitiveness  in your  feeling  world,  by 
which  your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  can  direct  you  mag-
nificently—accurately. Do not  jump  at conclusions! Wait 
the assurance  of Its Direction! Then  as you  keep  trying  this 
out, you  will  find  you  can move  just  from  one  point  to the 
other;  with  a definite  mathematical  precision  which  will 
delight  you. IT WILL  CAUSE  YOU  TO REALIZE,  YOU 
HAVE  ENTERED  INTO  THE  DIVINE  DIRECTION 
OF LIFE. Thus,  It will  hold  you  Free  from  that  which 
might  remain  of human  accumulation,  either  in your  world 
or in your  associates. This  is a point  of which  I want  to remind  you;  so much 
has been  done  for many  of the students,  and  their  entire 
accumulation  dissolved  and  consumed;  but remember,  Be-
loved  Ones,  you  are moving  in constant  contact  with  the 
feeling  world  of other  Individuals,  for whom  this  has not 
been  done. Then,  if you  accept  feeling  from  others,  if you 
accept  suggestions  from  others,  you  will  be acting  similarly, 
as if it were  coming  from  your  own  world. 360 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Do you  not understand  why  the Messenger  has,  in This 
Class  especially,  stressed  so earnestly  your  Call  to the Pres-
ence,  to hold  about  you,  the Tube  of Light  and  use  the 
Violet  Consuming  Flame  ? The  Messenger  and  sometimes 
We, gave  forth  directly  Ourselves,  that  Certain  Accom-
plishment  had  been  reached  in the feeling  world  of man-
kind;  and  that  the students  had  been  freed  from  their  own 
human  creation  and  accumulation. They  took  it for granted 
and have  thought:  Now  I won't  have  any more  problems— 
I won't  have  anything  more  to do, but just  smile  and  be 
Free! MY  DEAR  ONES,  YOU  MUST  MAKE  YOUR 
APPLICATION,  UNTIL  YOU  ARE  ASCENDED  BE-
INGS,  MAKE  NO  MISTAKE  ABOUT  THAT! Never  forget,  that  just  because  your  feeling  world  has 
been  set Free  from  accumulation  and  discordant  conditions, 
it does  not mean  the rest  of the world  has! You  are con-
stantly  moving  among  other  people  who  are  not  Free! Therefore,  unless  your  guard  is up by your  Tube  of Light, 
their  discord  can rush  in upon  you  as before. NOT  ONLY 
THAT,  BUT  YOU  MUST  HOLD  YOUR  PROTEC-
TION  BY  YOUR  CONSCIOUS  COMMAND,  for  the 
Light  to stand  guard  and  repel  or dissolve  and  consume, 
everything  of human  qualities  or a discordant  nature; 
which  attempts  to touch  your  world  or find  action  within  it. Do you  not see that? I am very  grateful  for the oppor-
tunity  to explain  this  one  particular  point  to you  today; 
for unless  you  see it, you  would  not  understand  what  is 
happening  to you. Because  We have  rendered  This  Certain DISCOURSE  XXIII  361 
Service  to so many,  it does  not mean  you  must  let down 
your  guard  or your  application. Not  at all! You  should 
redouble  it with  great  joy,  because  of the Assistance  which 
is being  given  you. I say  to you  ladies,  if it came  house-cleaning  time  and 
someone  offered  to assist  you,  would  you  just  sit down  and 
let them  do all the work? I think  not. You  would  be so 
grateful  that  you  would  take  hold  with  them  and  do all 
you could,  to complete  that  accomplishment  as quickly  as 
possible. Now  if I am willing  to give  you  My  Assistance, 
will you  not take  hold  with  Me and  do your  part  ? Don't 
expect  Me to carry  all. I think  you  see that  clearly. In This  your  Call  to Life,  which  is so much  beyond  your 
comprehension  as yet—and  I say it really  very  kindly;  in 
the human,  as long  as some  of its qualities  are yet acting, 
your  comprehension  is limited. I trust  you  will  continue  on 
after  today,  in Our  Mighty  Vibratory  Action  into  which 
you have  been  drawn  and  held. I want  you  to still  be held 
in It. Unless  you  determine  otherwise,  you  will  be! There-
fore,  you  will  continue  to go on, and  on, in the raising,  ex-
pansion  and  intensity  of This  Vibratory  Action  which  has 
been  released  to you. You  will  hold  It sustained,  if you  will 
do these  simple  things  and  give  your  attention  to the Pres-
ence. The Messenger  has  so often  told  you,  certain  simple 
things,  which  if you  would  do them,  before  retiring  at 
night,  would  bring  you  such  results. It is such  an oppor-
tunity,  Beloved  Students;  for you  to set into  action  the Great 362 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Law  of Life,  to operate  while  your  physical  body  is asleep; 
while  there  is no outer  resistance,  I want  you  so earnestly, 
to improve  that  opportunity. I say to you  definitely,  if you  would  practice  the follow-
ing a little,  it would  do wonders  for you. In whatever  con-
fronts  you  during  the  day,  if it were  something  which 
seemed  unsurmountable,  use your  Decree  and  say:  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence!" while  my body  sleeps,  reveal  to me the 
solution  of this  problem—you  would  awaken  in the morn-
ing, with  a Clear  Definite  Understanding  and  Solution  of 
the whole  situation! Even  though  This  Service  has been  rendered,  still  you  do 
not realize  how  much  resistance  is in the feeling  world  of 
the average  Individual! You  do not know  how  much  still 
stands  there  thru  habit—questioning  this,  or that,  or the 
Power  of the Light,  or the Presence,  to do these  things! Yet 
the intellect  sees  and  knows  definitely,  the Power  of Light 
is in Its Full  Action  right  there  with  you. Beloved  Ones,  when  you  look  at the Chart,  take  your 
determined  stand  that  It is the Truth  of Life! Therefore, 
your  intellect  cannot  accept  anything  but the Power  of your 
Presence  at your  Call;  to silence  all human  qualities,  per-
form  Its Service  and  produce  Its Perfection  for you. There 
is no question  about  it. THEREFORE,  IN  ALL  THE 
FULNESS  OF  YOUR  HEART,  YOUR  GREAT 
HEARTS  LOVE,  FEEL  YOURSELVES  ONE  WITH 
US. The Love  released  in This  Class  has been  very  great. It DISCOURSE  XXIII  363 
proves  to Me,  you  are capable  of releasing  This  Power  and 
co-operating  with  Life,  which  brings  Its quick  and  All-
powerful  Release  to you. As you  go forward,  I want  you  to 
feel you  are never  separated  from  Us. I want  to see you 
be so strong  and  firm  here. Even  though  the Messengers' 
physical  forms  are away,  they  too are still  with  you. It will 
prevent  the human  from  accepting  a let-down  as so often 
is the case,  for that  must  cease  now  in This  Activity. When  We  have  brought  you  to this  point,  you  must  con-
tinue  on. You  will  in This  Group. Then,  as you  accomplish 
one thing  after  another,  your  confidence  will  be complete; 
but do not let your  human  once  again  question  your  ability 
or your  authority,  to call  forth  the Fulness  of ALL  YOU 
DESIRE  FROM  THE  PRESENCE! I prompt  you  on this,  because  We want  to help  you  to be 
Free  from  all uncertainty! As the Messengers  explained, 
when  you  make  your  Decree,  stand  unyielding  until  its 
Fulfillment. Then,  you  will  be a Being  of Dominion  in 
your  world. It must  come! You  cannot  have  Dominion  in 
a wavering  consciousness  or feeling! Therefore,  in these  promptings  today,  I want  you  to 
know  this  has  not  been  a Discourse;  but  a school-room, 
and I want  you  to retain  that. I insist  you  do, in the Full 
Strength  of My  Reminder  and  Prompting,  which  will 
stand  guard  in your  feeling  world  and  give  you  Its Assist 
ance. Wherever  you  are,  wherever  "I AM,"  My  Rays  of 
Light  shall  go forth  to you;  and  if you  want  to be sure 
whether  My Rays  of Light  and  Energy  are POWERFUL, 364 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ask Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and  Pearl! They  will  tell you,  whether 
My Rays  of Light  have  Power  or not! Remember  to accept  My  Hand  and  be the Power,  the 
Intelligence  of Light  acting  in your  world! I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XXIII

WASHINGTON,  D. C. 
Beloved  Students  of the Light,  in all that  you  are today, 
in comparison  to four  years  ago;  and  all you  will  become  in 
the next  two  years,  I ask  you  to watch  the  Fulfilment  of 
your  Calls,  earnestly  and  sincerely. I am sure  most  of you 
have  gone  far enough  in the  Application  of This  Great 
Law,  to see what  It means  to you;  and  as you  become  firmer 
and more  determined  in your  Application,  to give  less  and 
less attention  to the appearance  world,  which  is composed 
of but human  qualities,  then  you  will  see how  much  more 
quickly,  you  will  gain  the  Victory. As the "I AM"  Students  have  experienced  the Expansion 
of the Light  within  their  Hearts  and  within  the cells  of their 
bodies;  it is most  gratifying  to Us, to see the Reality  which 
is coming  forth  within  you. You  do not see It, but We  do. We do not consider  for a single  moment,  what  your  outer 
expression  may  be; but  We  watch  how  your  Inner  Light 
is sending  forth,  Its Color  Pictures,  which  are  the  Truth 
of the Action  of your  Life. One  day,  you  too,  will  read  the  thought  and  feeling  of 
mankind  by its vibratory  action,  its Color  Radiation;  for 
THAT  IS THE  GREAT  SILENT  LANGUAGE  THRU-
OUT  THE  UNIVERSE. In Our  Octave  of Light,  We  do 
365 366 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
not need  to be present  with  each  other  in order  to visit. We 
often  choose  to do so, but still  We  may  flash  Our  Correct 
Thought  and  Feeling  any  distance,  to those  We  love  or 
with  whom  We  wish  to communicate. Therefore,  I am saying  this  today,  so you  may  feel  less 
limitation  in pouring  forth  your  Adoration  and  Love  to 
your  "Beloved  I AM  Presence"  and  to Us; and  know  how 
instantly—always  without  a single  exception,  comes  back 
Our Response  to you. There  have  been  a great  many  thru-
out the student  body,  who  at first  have  not seen  the necessity 
of Our  Assistance. Since  they  have  found  they  have  a 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  they  think  they  might  dispense 
with  Us. Well,  that  would  be quite  all right,  I am sure;  but 
since  you  cannot  quite  dispense  with  Us yet,  We continue 
to offer  Our  Assistance. Remember,  if the Call  of the Light  comes  from  within 
the Heart  of the Individual—even  though  he or she out-
wardly  hated  or disliked  the Messengers,  or even  refused 
acceptance  of Our  Reality—still  We  would  answer  That 
Call quite  as readily! As you  come  to understand  the Truth 
of This  Law  and  refuse  acceptance  to the appearance  world 
of mankind,  which  is the periphery  of Life;  then  you  will 
understand  Our  Position  and  why  We  cannot  be deceived 
in Individuals. If time  permitted,  I could  take  you  one  by one  and  tell 
you exactly  what  your  feeling  was  at the moment;  because 
YOUR  FEELING  POURS  FORTH  A RADIANCE. It 
puts forth  a color  which  is as plain  to Me and  which  I read, DISCOURSE  XXIII  367 
as readily  as you  read  your  books. Radiation  is within  the 
Life of every  one. Before  you  come  to that  point,  you  will 
begin  to feel  and  accept  Direction  thru  the Radiation,  oft-
times  as clearly  as the spoken  word. Many  of you  do today 
and have  been  doing  it for some  time. Usually,  if you  watch 
and follow  your  feeling,  when  you  are undisturbed,  you 
will seldom  find  it wrong. Now  this  point  I am taking  up today,  for I want  all of the 
sincere  students  to be prompted;  because  We see the reason 
for it. If you  receive  a prompting  or a discordant  feeling, 
when  you  are in contact  with  someone,  do not compel  your-
self to dismiss  it instantly. It might  be a Prompting  to you. Ask the Presence  of Life,  your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence," 
to hold  you  steady,  and  reveal  what  that  feeling  is and what 
it means  to you! Then,  you  will  not cast  aside  a Prompting 
from  your  Presence,  which  is a guard;  nor  will  you  accept 
it as something  which  you  would  impose  upon  someone 
else;  because  it may  be the direction  of some  discordant 
feeling,  which  might  be projected  there. I want  you  to be so careful,  and  call forth  your  Discrimi-
nating  Intelligence;  to allow  you  to detect  these  things  and 
do only  the  Right  and  Perfect  thing,  to all concerned— 
especially  to yourselves! I perceive  there  are so many  among 
the students,  whose  loyalty  and  earnestness  is so great,  they 
would  rather  blame  themselves,  than  accept  a prompting 
or the feeling  about  someone  else. The  prompting  is the 
Call,  so you  might  make  Application  and  dissolve  the con-
dition;  whether  it be really  about  the person  you  are con-368 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
tacting,  yourself  or something  projected. Then  you  will  feel 
released  from  it. When  you  are making  your  Application,  remember  the 
imperative  need  of firmness  yet a while. It is Our  Expecta-
tion to complete  This  Work  for  America;  in removing 
those  who  are now  consciously  or have  been  pouring  forth 
destruction  to the American  people. We expect  to seize  the 
rest of those  Individuals,  before  the close  of the New  York 
class. Then  proceed  at once—it  cannot  be done  before  that, 
to dissolve  the substance  which  has  been  released  into  the 
atmosphere  of Earth. It is the means  by which  the destruc-
tive forces  from  every  direction,  have  held  a certain  influ-
ence  over  mankind. There  might  be some  of you  in the room,  who  have  seen 
this operate  in official  places,  here  in your  capital. This 
force  or substance  is gathered  by those  who  know  how— 
and drawn  around  Individuals  to make  them  do destructive 
things. I do not mean  it is drawn  by those  in physical  em-
bodiment. It is projected  and  envelops  the Individual  whom 
they  want  to pull  down. I have  seen  here  in your  city,  mag-
nificent  human  Beings  struggling  as within  the coils  of a 
great  serpent,  against  that  force  projected  at them,  in their 
efforts  to release  themselves  from  it. Rarely  do they  succeed, 
unless  We  see and  give  Assistance  which  We  ofttimes  do. It is what  often  happens,  because  this  substance  does  exist. It has been  released  from  mankind  into  the atmosphere 
of Earth. Consuming  it, will  be the next  step! When  it is 
dissolved,  you  will  see a release  in the feeling  world  of man-DISCOURSE  XXIII  369 
kind,  which  has  not existed,  since  the close  of the Second 
Golden  Age. Since  that  time,  there  has been  a constant  re-
leasing  and  gathering  of this  psychic  substance  into  the 
atmosphere  of Earth. Individuals  sometimes  are clothed  in 
it; and  if you  saw  with  the All-seeing-eye  within,  the shock 
would  be severe. This  Good  Messenger  in his early  years,  as a channel  for 
healing,  often  released  Individuals. He drew  off those  gar-
ments,  clothing  the feeling  world;  and  caused  them  to be 
dissolved  and  consumed. THEY  WERE  AS TANGIBLE 
AS THE  PHYSICAL  GARMENTS  YOU  WEAR. THAT  IS HOW  TANGIBLE  THIS  SUBSTANCE  CAN 
BE DRAWN  ABOUT  INDIVIDUALS,  TO  PREVENT 
THEIR  HAPPINESS  AND  SUCCESS;  OR  TO INTER-
FERE  WITH  THEIR  PERFECT  HEALTH! Now  mankind  is fast being  released  from  it. I am calling 
it to your  attention,  today,  so the student  body  all over 
America,  may  make  the Call  that  it be done  with  the closing 
of This  Class  and  the beginning  of the one  in New  York. With  your  firm  determination  and  all the Mighty  Energy 
you have  released  here,  I do not question  for a second  that 
it can  be done;  for the consuming  will  increase  thru  the 
releasing  of Our  Mighty  Energy. Therefore,  you  stand  in a position  today,  GREATER 
than  has  ever  been,  in your  hundreds  and  thousands  of 
embodiments;  for you  are calling,  you  are accepting,  you 
are acknowledging  the Greatest  Power  in the Universe,  to 
save and  sustain  mankind. It is the Power  of Light,  which 370 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
is Individuals'  own  Life! You  do not understand  this,  but 
thruout  the ages,  it has not been  understood! Mankind  has 
had no explanation,  because  every  means  was  provided  to 
keep  human  Beings  from  understanding  the Simplicity,  yet 
the Majestic  Power  of Life! It is My Privilege  to wield  all Life's  Power  in governing 
the Currents  of Air and  Energy. I trust  the time  will  come 
ere long,  when  I can  take  you  in a Class  Room  like  this; 
stand  before  you,  as I did with  the Students  in India,  before 
they  entered  the Cave  of Light;  and  render  to you a Similar 
Service. "I AM"  ready! "I AM"  willing! Are  you? Then, 
let us determine  to do that! It shall  come  about! (applause) 
I congratulate  every  one  of you  and  the students  thruout 
America! I congratulate  the Staff  about  the Messengers  for 
the Victory,  Self-control  and  Mastery  all are gaining! We 
have  been  waiting  for this  to be complete  enough,  so We 
might  do some  of these  things,  which  would  give  you  such 
Strength  and  Encouragement;  and  settle  forever  in your 
minds,  that  We  are Real. I know  a great  many  of you  do 
not question  it for a second;  but there  are others  at times— 
don't  mind  if I say it—who  wonder  just  a little. Therefore, 
don't  wonder  any  more! Be sure  within  yourselves. Then, 
soon  enough,  will  come  all the Proof  you  desire. If it had  not been  for the unhappy  Individuals  who  have 
spread  such  viciousness  and  discord  among  mankind,  This 
Service  might  have  been  done  already;  but  since  many  of 
the students  were  not anchored  sufficiently,  they  listened  to 
that viciousness. It disturbed  their  feeling  world  and  has DISCOURSE  XXIII  371 
caused  Us to withhold  Our  Presence! If Firmness  can  be 
held  firm  enough  to dismiss  those  things,  I see no reason 
why  We could  not come  and  talk  to you in person! May  I remind  you,  that  in your  outer  activity,  when  you 
become  determined  enough,  it usually  comes  about,  doesn't 
it? When  you  become  determined  enough  in having  Our 
Presence,  visibly  and  tangibly—and  then  you  give  the 
Obedience  Life  requires,  would  there  be anything  which 
would  stand  between  you  and  Us? I think  not! Remember, 
what  Saint  Germain  has  said  to you:  "The  only  distance 
between  you  and  Us,  is your  thought  and  feeling." That 
should  not be very  much,  should  it? WE WANT  YOU  TO  FEEL  A GREATER  CLOSE-
NESS. You  do! I am very  grateful  for it, for you  do feel 
much  Greater  Closeness;  that  much  Greater  Reality  of Our 
Presence! As you have  seen  and  felt the Activity  of the Radi-
ance  within  the room  from  time  to time,  there  cannot  be 
any question  in your  mind,  there  is an Intelligence  which 
produces  This  Change  of vibratory  action! You  know  quite 
well,  how  the first  three  days  you do not feel quite  so happy, 
then  all of a sudden,  the Happiness  returns. IF YOU  CAN  LAUGH  AT  AN  APPEARANCE 
WHICH  SUDDENLY  COMES  BEFORE  YOU  AND 
WHICH  IS SEEMINGLY  TERRIFYING,  YOU  HAVE 
DRAWN  ITS  FANGS  RIGHT  THEN! ONLY,  IF IT 
CAN  THROW  FEAR  INTO  YOU,  WILL  IT CON-
TINUE  TO  PERSECUTE  YOU! IT IS THE  SAME 
WAY  WITH  ALL  DESTRUCTIVE  FORCES 372 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
WHETHER  EMBODIED,  WHETHER  A CHARGE 
IN THE  ATMOSPHERE,  WHETHER  A DISCAR-
NATE  OR  BLACK  MAGICIAN. IF THEY  CANNOT 
PRODUCE  FEAR  IN  YOU,  THEY  LEAVE  YOU 
ALONE! THEY  MIGHT  WATCH  FOR  AN  OPPOR-
TUNITY  TO  STRIKE;  BUT  WHEN  YOU  ARE  FIRM 
ENOUGH  AND  FEARLESS  ENOUGH,  THEY  WILL 
LOOK  FOR  OTHER  FIELDS! Since  you  are to be set Free  so soon,  and  no more  dis-
carnates  are to be permitted  to come  into  the boundaries 
of North  America,  you  can  soon  forget  there  ever  was  a 
mention  of them. Many  people  have  been  fearful,  but man-
kind  had  to know  of the forces  and  conditions,  under  which 
people  were  laboring. Only  by your  attention  being  called 
to this and  by your  Calls  to Life,  to Light  and  the Power  of 
the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  the Greatest  Intelligence  in 
the Universe—to  have  the discordant  substance  from  these 
Individuals  dissolved  and  consumed;  and  the Individuals 
themselves  released  and  removed—would  it ever  have  been 
done  on This  Earth  ? Had  We  not called  your  attention  to 
these  things,  then  how  could  it have  been  done  ? If you  will  have  confidence  enough  in Our  Wisdom,  as 
It comes  from  time  to time,  and  not  pass  judgment,  you 
will not  be disappointed  I assure  you. If you  allow  your 
human  opinions  to judge  as to what  We  should  do; then 
you will  probably  be disappointed. As you  see Continued 
Proof  of all We  have  intimated,  you  will  see after  all, We 
are Real;  and  have  told  you  the Truth  at all times! DISCOURSE  XXIII  373 
In the ages  past,  when  people  sought  Us from  the farthest 
corners  of the Earth,  for This  Great  Light  and  Wisdom, 
about  fifty-five  percent  of Those  Individuals  succeeded  in 
giving  the Obedience  which  Life  required. It was  accom-
plished  in the Protection  of the Radiance  of those  places— 
the Retreats  provided  for It. Be careful,  Beloved  Ones,  in 
your  use  of the  word  "Retreat." THAT  WORD  really 
refers  to those  Sacred  Sanctuaries  of Light—not  just  a place, 
you go to in the outer  world  for rest! I like  very  much,  the 
term  which  many  are using  for the concentration  of Divine 
Forces—the  Word  "Sanctuary." It is very  apropos,  for 
This  Activity  and  all it attracts  and  means  to you. Your 
Sanctuaries  are  each  one  a Sacred  Focus  of the  Greatest 
Thing  in the  World—the  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  the 
Power  of Light! Therefore,  as you  go forth  now,  just  stand  firm  and  un-
yielding  in your  Application,  remembering  that  in these 
Mighty  Decrees  which  you  issue  in the opening  of every 
Class,  Our  Mighty  Power  does  move  into  action:  "THE 
FORCES  OF  LIGHT  MOVE  ACROSS  THE  FACE  OF 
THE  EARTH  AND  ALL  HUMAN  DARKNESS  DIS-
APPEARS"! MY  DEAR  ONES,  THAT  IN ITSELF,  IS 
AN ALMIGHTY  POWER  AND  ACKNOWLEDG-
MENT! IT GIVES  FULL  AUTHORITY  FOR  THE 
POWERS  OF  LIGHT  TO  PERFORM  THIS  EXACT 
SERVICE! YOU  WILL  NEVER  KNOW  UNTIL  YOUR 
ASCENSION,  WHAT  THAT  ONE  STATEMENT 
AND  DECREE  ALONE  HAS  MEANT  FOR  AMER-374 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ICA! THE  GREAT  BODY  OF  STUDENTS,  MORE 
THAN  SIX  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  HAVE  BEEN 
ISSUING  THAT  DECREE;  AND  ACCORDING  TO 
THE  ADJUSTMENT  OF  YOUR  TIME,  IT IS AL-
MOST  CONTINUOUS  THRUOUT  THE  TWENTY-
FOUR  HOURS. THEREFORE,  IT MEANS  A CON-
STANT  RELEASE,  A CONSTANT  POWER  OF 
MOMENTUM  BEING  DRAWN,  FOR  THAT  CER-
TAIN  THING,  FOR  WHICH  IT CALLS. When  you  say  to all human  creation:  "You  have  no 
power"! think  what  that  means  in the great  body  of stu-
dents! With  the Power  of Light  and  Energy,  which  goes 
forth,  saying  to all human  creation,  all limiting  and  de-
structive  qualities:  "You  have  no power"!—then,  you  stop 
their  action,  as definitely  from  further  interference  with 
your  world,  as if you  drew  a Wall  of Light. Therefore,  realize  that  in your  Individual  activity,  the 
Same  Exact  Power  is exerted  and  the same  results  are pro-
duced. Remember  this,  for We  are constantly  prompting 
you, more  and  more  to be aware,  to be alert,  to these  things 
in your  Application. Take  notice  of the results  which  come! Oh, so many  things  are occurring  about  you,  for which  you 
do not give  credit  to the Presence;  but the Mighty  Decrees 
which  you  have  used  have  produced  these  results! I 
WOULD  RATHER  BE MISTAKEN  A DOZEN  TIMES 
IN MY  CALL  BEING  ANSWERED,  THAN  TO  MISS 
ACKNOWLEDGING  IT ONCE. Remember,  Acceptance  is a powerful  thing  in your  Life; DISCOURSE  XXIII  375 
and if you  will  acccpt  every  little  thing,  as a MANIFESTA-
TION  AND  ANSWER  TO  YOUR  CALL  TO  THE 
PRESENCE;  then  the Greater  Fulness  will  flow,  flow,  and 
flow;  until  like  a great  river  everything  of a discordant  na-
ture will  be swept  from  your  world  at your  Call. It is your 
Application  which  brings  such  tremendous  results. Had  you  not responded  three  years  ago  to This  Mighty 
Application,  these  last two  years  the Messengers  would  not 
have  been  here—or  any  of your  cities  in America. They  beat 
down  by their  Mighty  Application  alone,  the  first  year, 
every  obstruction  of human  qualities  which  arose  before 
them! Had  the student  body  not responded  by the issuing 
of These  Mighty  Decrees,  We would  have  withdrawn  them 
from  the service  of mankind. Therefore,  AS ONE  GREAT 
BODY  OF LIGHT,  I CONSIDER  YOU  HAVE  PRAC-
TICALLY  WON  THE  VICTORY! GO  ON,  AND  ON, 
AND  ON,  UNTIL  EVERY  ONE  OF  YOU,  STANDS 
FORTH  IN THE  COMPLETE  FREEDOM  OF  YOUR 
LIFE! Any  report  in the future  which  comes  concerning 
your  Nation,  concerning  your  political  situation,  concern-
ing your  industrial  activities—upon  which  all of your  physi-
cal Life  depends;  you  must  be ready  instantly  and  firmly  to 
say to that  appearance,  if it be limiting  or discordant:  "You 
have  no power"! As the great  body  of students  say that  and 
feel it deeply;  you  will  hold  in abeyance  everything,  which 
destructively  affects  either  the government,  your  cities,  your 
industries  or your  transportation;  until  the Powers  of Light 
can dissolve  it! 376 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
I want  you  to feel Our  Absolute  Authority  today,  in your 
Calls  to the Presence  of Life! It is imperative! Beloved  Ones 
of the Capital,  you  have  been  aware  of the battle  you  have 
been  waging;  but  you  only  know  a small  part  of it. By 
being  able  to stand  and  hold  the Light,  it will  now  bring 
a Great  Release  to you—Greater  Freedom  and  a Greater 
Rest  in your  Mighty  Service  to the Light! Therefore,  I want  you  to feel how  We stand  by watching 
—ready  to release  to the Individual,  as well  as the great 
student  body,  whatever  is required  at your  Call;  to give 
you health,  your  limitless  supply,  the Directing  Intelligence 
and Invincible  Protection  which  you  require. We are your 
Friends  of Light! We  see far beyond  that  which  you  do; 
and so far as the Activities  of your  Life  Streams  are con-
cerned,  We  know  far ahead  many  times,  what  you  are 
going  to confront. In your  Decrees,  did We show  you  how 
much  of that  which  would  otherwise  have  acted,  has been 
prevented  from  acting  in your  Life,  you  really  would  re-
joice! Now  let us join  hands  in the Glory  of This  Greater  Serv-
ice into  which  We are entering;  for from  this  day,  We enter 
into a Tremendously  Greater  Service  than  any  thus  far. Therefore,  as you observe  the changes  which  will  take  place 
in all avenues  of Life,  remember  the All-Seeing-Eye  of God 
which  you  call  into  action,  is the Revealing  Power  of all 
destructive  forces,  which  would  attempt  to destroy  you  and 
your  Beloved  America. As you  call It into  action  and  then 
abide  in the Wisdom  of the Presence,  to bring  forth  Its Full DISCOURSE  XXIII  377 
Revealing  Power,  not one  thing  of human  creation  can in-
terfere  with  or prevent  it. Therefore,  you  are moving  like  Charmed  Individuals,  as 
it were. If you  can but realize  it, This  "I AM  Presence,"  Its 
Tube  of Light  and  Its Use  of the Violet  Consuming  Flame, 
will make  you  a Charmed  Being;  and  I mean  by that,  un-
touched  by any  discordant  destructive  thing. I am sure  in the pleading  of the Messengers,  since  they 
have  been  here,  you  have  all now  become  firmly  enough 
anchored  in the demand  for Harmony  maintained  in your 
feeling;  to give  Life  Its Full  Opportunity  to flood  your 
Being  and  World  with  Love,  Happiness,  Strength,  Supply 
and All Good  Things;  which  will  give  you  the ease  and 
rest in your  feeling,  that  are needed. I urge  you—not  all, but some  who  have  been  using  a great 
deal of time;  to use less  time  in your  Decrees,  but MORE 
DYNAMIC  ENERGY. MAKE  THEM  SNAPPY  AND 
FORCEFUL! THEN  GO  ON  ABOUT  YOUR  BUSI-
NESS. WHEN  YOU  RETURN  AGAIN,  MAKE  DY-
NAMIC  POWERFUL  APPLICATION! Five  minutes  of 
that is more  valuable  than  twenty-five  when  you  are not 
releasing  the dynamic  energy! Therefore,  as you  come  into 
the Fuller  Activity  of the Light,  you  will  see this;  you  will 
understand  it and by experimenting,  you  will  see how  much 
more  time  you  have  to do other  things. REMEMBER,  TO  KEEP  BALANCED  BY  SELF-
CONTROL  IN THE  OUTER,  ALL  THAT  YOU  CALL 
FORTH  FROM  THE  PRESENCE. Remember  again,  Be-378 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
loved  Ones,  wherever  your  attention  goes,  your  Life  is feed-
ing into  that  objective. If it be Perfection,  it will  produce 
Greater  and  Greater  Perfection  for you. If it be discordant, 
limiting  things,  then  you  must  remember,  you  are inviting 
them,  into  your  world  of action. Therefore,  THE  CON-
TROL  OF  YOUR  ATTENTION  MEANS  EVERY-
THING  TO  YOU! IT IS NOT  A MATTER  OF  A MO-
MENTARY  FIXING  UPON  SOMETHING! YOU 
CAN  WITHDRAW  IT AND  PUT  IT BACK  WHERE 
IT BELONGS  !THEN  SAY  TO THAT  APPEARANCE 
WHERE  IT MOMENTARILY  RESTS:  "YOU  HAVE 
NO POWER." THEN  YOU  STOP  THAT  FORCE 
ACTING,  THE  MOMENT  YOUR  ATTENTION 
GOES  TO  IT;  AND  SO  PREVENTS  IT COMING 
BACK  ON  YOUR  LIFE  STREAM  TO  ENTER  YOUR 
WORLD. My Dear  Ones,  you  cannot  observe  a thing,  you  cannot 
turn  your  attention  anywhere;  you  cannot  let your  feeling 
go forward,  without  your  own  Life  Stream  of Energy  feed-
ing into  that  objective. Then,  think  what  a most  unfor-
tunate  thing  it is, when  people  are angered  at each  other  or 
really  hate  each  other. Look  what  you  are doing  to Life! The Stream  of Light  which  goes  forth—your  Life,  to a 
person,  carries  destruction  like  dynamite  into  the  world 
of the Individual;  and  for all of that  you  are responsible. It never  pays! YOU  KNOW  THE  STATEMENT  YOU  HAVE 
MADE  SO  MANY  TIMES:  "CRIME  NEVER  PAYS." DISCOURSE  XXIII  379 
IT NEVER  COULD! NO  DESTRUCTIVE  ACTION 
OF ANY  KIND,  EVER  GAINS  ANYTHING  BUT 
MORE  OF  ITS  KIND! Therefore,  I say  to you  Beloved 
Students:  be firm;  be strong  in your  Application,  and  un-
yielding  in your  determination  to have  Perfection;  but  you 
cannot  have  It, if you  allow  destructive  qualities  or feeling 
to act and  go forth  charging  your  Life  Stream. I am  sure  you  do not  keep  yourselves  aware  of this 
enough! If you  sent  forth,  or in other  words,  generated 
thirty  percent  of an activity  of destruction  or feeling  to an 
Individual,  ten percent  of that  feeling  would  go forth  like 
a rocket,  if it were  violent  anger  or hatred;  and  you  would 
retain  twenty  percent  in your  own  feeling  world  of what 
you generated. It is approximately  the proportion  acting,  in 
a lot of the conditions  which  you  generate. What  a pity  it is that  Individuals  do not want  to under-
stand  These  Great  Simple  Laws  which  would  bring  such 
Freedom  to them. Yet they  cannot  have  It, unless  they  give 
Obedience  to This  Law! Keep  yourselves  reminded  con-
stantly  of These  Requirements;  and  you  will  have  no 
trouble  in your  Application  and  having  its answer. Remember,  any  destructive  feeling  which  goes  out  to 
persons,  places  or conditions  from  anyone,  is destruction 
sent  out  to Life;  for  Life  is acting  thru  every  Individual! If the Individual  requalifies  that  or sends  it forth  in wrong 
action,  Life  is not  responsible  in a?iy  way;  but  you  are 
responsible  for Its misuse! After  all,  coming  bac\  to the 
fundamental,  the  principle  underlying  all disturbance,  all 380 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
destructive  qualities  sent  forth—is  but  disobedience  and 
destruction  of Life. The  unfortunate  thing  is, that  it does 
not always  stop  with  the  person,  place  or condition  into 
which  it is directed. It is so far reaching  beyond  your  fond-
est imagination,  that  it does  not  pay  any  one  to allow  him-
self or herself  to be influenced,  to send  forth  one  discordant 
destructive  feeling! I urge  you—notice! I say,  "I urge  you,"  to give  This  Cos-
mic Law  Obedience;  and  see then  how  quickly  you  will  be 
lifted  into  conditions  you  could  scarcely  imagine  today. I 
tell you  frankly,  the matter  of calling  forth  your  supply  is 
one of the smallest  items  in the experience  of mankind;  and 
the reason  Individuals  do not have  it at their  Call,  is because 
they  are  not  harmonious  enough. Unbeknown  to them-
selves,  they  keep  requalifying  their  Life  energy  and  it be-
comes  repulsion  instead  of attraction! The  old  statement 
made  so long  ago:  "STAND  IN  THE  LIGHT  AND 
DRAW  TO  YOURSELF  YOUR  OWN,"  IS ONE  OF 
THE  GREATEST  STATEMENTS;  ONE  OF  THE 
GREATEST  TRUTHS;  BECAUSE  IF YOU  WILL 
STAND  IN THE  LIGHT  OF  YOUR  "MIGHTY  I AM 
PRESENCE,"  IN  A WHOLLY  HARMONIOUS  EN-
VIRONMENT,  YOU  WILL  DRAW  TO  YOURSELF, 
YOUR  OWN  AND  IN  GREAT  LIMITLESS  ABUN-
DANCE. I thank  you  with  all My Heart  for your  kindly  attention 
and for RECEIVING  what  I have  been  able  to give  you 
today,  anchored  within  your  feeling  world. REMEMBER, DISCOURSE  XXIII  381 
WHEN  YOU  ARE  TEMPTED  TO  BELIEVE  SOME-
THING  HAS  POWER  TO  INFLUENCE  YOU,  RE-
MEMBER  MYSELF  ANCHORED  WITHIN  YOUR 
FEELING  WORLD  IN  THE  LIQUID  LIGHT, 
WHICH  I HAVE  PROJECTED  INTO  YOUR  FEEL-
ING  WORLD. DO  YOU  THINK  ANYTHING 
COULD  HARM  ME? THAT  IS A PART  OF  MY-
SELF  IN  YOUR  WORLD  FOR  YOUR  BLESSING. DOES  THAT  MAKE  IT CLEARER  TO  YOU? In My  endeavor  to serve  you,  I have  anchored  within 
your  feeling  world  a Part  of Myself;  by which  I may  act 
there  at any  time  to serve  you! I hope,  if you  want  My 
Presence  to act there,  you  know  the Law  and  will  be Har-
monious. If you  are not,  it means  you  do not care  to have 
Me! Therefore,  I will  wait,  even  though  "I AM"  there  in 
your  feeling  world,  still  must  I wait! I could  force  Myself 
thru  your  inharmony;  but  you  do not understand,  such  a 
thing  would  not  be wise. Sometimes  the  students  have 
called  forth  with  great  intensity:  "Make  me do the thing, 
I should  do." Well  that  is a kindly  invitation,  but since  the 
Law  of your  Life  is the Governing  Power,  it would  hardly 
be correct  for Us to take  command  of you;  but you  can rest 
assured  since  this  has been  given  to you,  WE  WILL  DO 
ALL  YOUR  LIFE  STREAM  PERMITS,  TO  ASSIST 
YOU  QUICKLY  INTO  THE  FULL  VICTORY. It reminds  Me today,  of Our  many  experiences  at Cha-
nanda's  Home  in India;  for you  are giving  Us the same  at-
tention,  the same  feeling  as though  you  were  there. That 382 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
means  everything. One  day,  when  We are able  to show  you 
the Light  Rays  projecting  from  Ourselves;  We  will  show 
you how  We  govern  the Light  as a Consuming  Activity, 
or as a Creative  Activity:  I long  for It! I long  to give  you  all 
that would  give  you  Strength  and  Encouragement,  and 
could  never  be changed  again;  but you  must  make  the ef-
fort, Beloved  Ones! I cannot  just  take  your  responsibility 
and project  a sufficient  force  to repel  everything  you  meet. Your  Application  and  Strength  must  bring  you  to the point, 
where  you  are untouched  by any  discordant  thing  or sug-
gestion. We are giving  you  Tremendous  Help  to do it. Will  you 
do this  and  not forget  it for a single  day? KEEP  YOUR-
SELVES  REMINDED,  IT  IS MY  GOLDEN  SUB-
STANCE  IN YOUR  WORLD  WHICH  I RELEASE  TO 
GIVE  YOU  HELP. THEN  YOU  WILL  FEEL,  I AM 
THERE  AND  NO  THING  IN THE  OUTER  WORLD 
CAN  HARM  OR  LIMIT  YOU  IN ANY  WAY. RE-
MEMBER,  THE  MIGHTY  VICTORY  HAS  PRO-
JECTED  HIS  SUBSTANCE  OF  VICTORY  INTO 
YOUR  WORLD! THE  GODDESS  OF  LIBERTY  HAS 
PROJECTED  HER  FREEDOM. These  might  sound  like 
Words  to you;  but  to Us they  are Qualities  acting  within 
your  feeling  world. To the degree  you  accept  Them,  keep-
ing your  outer  mind  reminded  of it, will  you  find  its 
Greater  and  Greater  Power  acting  and  serving  you. Therefore,  in the Fulness  of the Light  which  beats  your 
Heart  and  gives  you  action,  I charge  you  with  Invincible DISCOURSE  XXIII  383 
Power,  to take  command  of your  mind  and  body;  to give 
you Its Perfect  Self-control;  Its Perfect  Harmony;  Its In-
vincible  Protection;  Its Mighty  Directing  Intelligence;  and 
to hold  you  so steady  in the Harmony  of Itself,  that  Its 
Directing  Intelligence  flows  like  a river;  sweeping  every-
thing—all  suggestions  before  it; and  you  move  in the Path-
way of Light—feeling  the Full  Power  of Its Achievement 
in everything  required,  in the Service  you  wish  to give. Stand  in the Fulness  of your  Presence,  God  the "Mighty 
I AM"—in  "The  Light  of God  that  never  fails"  and  draw 
to yourself  your  own! I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XXV  4i7

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Just  make  yourselves  willingly 
obedient  and  open  to these  Great  Currents  of Energy,  as I 
call them  forth;  to pour  thru  your  bodies,  your  feeling 
world,  so This  Service  may  be rendered  completely  for you 
tonight. I speak  directly  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  of each 
one. I command  the Higher  Mental  Body  of each  one,  to 
release  and  pour  forth  the  Mighty  Current  of the Unfed 
Flame  thru  and  under  the feet  of each  one. Hold  in Its 
Mighty  Action,  the  Violet  Consuming  Flame  so all im-
purity  may  be washed  out of the human  body;  out of the 
feeling  world  and  into  the  Mighty  Violet  Consuming 
Flame,  to free  these  Beloved  Ones  tonight. Render  This 
Service  so powerfully,  Higher  Mental  Body  of each  one, 
that they  may  feel  It now;  and  awaken  in the morning, 
glorified  by the  Power  of the  Light  which  beats  their 
Hearts. With  Its Mighty  Courage,  Strength  and  Power 
flowing  thru,  may  each  be a world  of such  Happiness,  Cour-
age, Strength,  the Full  Power  and  Feeling  of their  Domin-
ion over  all conditions. Then  nothing  longer  obstructs  the 
way in their  feeling  world,  to this  Mighty  Presence  of 
Light,  as It flows  forth  to perform  Its Service  for them. We stand  in the Presence  of Life  as Its Mighty  Power  and 
Currents  of Energy  are flooding  forth  now  into  and  thru 
your  bodies,  sweeping  out  all imperfection. The  Light 
when  you  call  It forth,  knows  no opposition. It flows  in, 
thru  and  around  your  physical  body;  thru  your  feeling 
world,  dissolving,  consuming  and  sweeping  out every  lim-THE  "l AM99  DISCOURSES 
iting  discordant,  destructive  quality  which  has been  acting 
there. Then,  as you  remain  harmonious  accepting  this— 
qualify  It eternally  sustained  in action  for you;  so It may 
render  this  Perfect  Service. When  you  retire  tonight,  going  to your  peaceful  won-
drous  rest,  which  you  shall  have—call  your  Presence  of Life, 
your  Higher  Mental  Body,  to release  Its Mighty  Current  of 
Energy  while  your  body  sleeps. Then,  there  is no resistance. Charge  it with  the Perfection  of Life. Qualify  it to dissolve 
and consume  every  discordant  thing,  which  has ever  been 
there. Then,  as you awaken  in the morning  remind  yourself 
with  the Joy of all Life,  that  your  Great  Blessing  is Joy. Its 
Mighty  Action  and  Perfection  manifesting  in you  and  your 
world;  filled  with  the Glory  of all Life  holds,  in Its Mighty 
Stream,  as It flows  into  your  body,  beats  your  Heart  and 
gives  you  action. We thank  you  Mighty  Presence  of Life  for answering 
This  Command;  for holding  It sustained  forever,  until  each 
hour,  each  day,  greater  Harmony,  greater  Perfection  mani-
fest within  the body,  the mental  and  feeling  world  of each 
one;  charged  with  the Glory  of all Happiness  which  is the

SEATTLE,  WASHINGTON 
BROADCAST 
Beloved  People  of America,  in endeavoring  to assist  you 
in the understanding  and  operation  of the Laws  of Life, 
remember,  you  are an Individualized  Presence  of God,  the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"  of Light. Therefore,  you  have 
Authority  even  in the human  octave,  thru  your  Call  to the 
Presence  of Life,  to call forth  whatever  you  will;  knowing 
of course  your  motive  must  be Constructive  and  your  Desire 
blessing  everywhere  you  move;  and  that  means  Life,  your 
fellow-man  and  your  activities. As long  as mankind  understands  that  all destructive 
forces  and  their  qualities,  eventually  return  upon  the In-
dividual  who  generates  them;  then  there  should  be no de-
sire anywhere  among  the  people  of Earth  to do things 
which  mankind  is constantly  doing,  and  which  bring  the 
reaction  of discordant  activities  upon  Individuals. We have  become  Free,  thru  Our  Conscious  Application 
of the Great  Law  of Life. Your  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has 
brought  forth  the Exact  Law  of Life,  Its Perfect  Applica-
tion—the  Complete  Understanding  of Its Application. You 
may  apply  It, if you will. The  Individual  who  will  earnestly 
apply  It, will  have  all the Proof  anyone  desires,  that  This 
345 346 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Law,  the Explanation  and  the Application  which  He has 
brought  forth,  is True. Unless  one  uses  the Law  thru  his 
own  application,  how  can anyone  know  Its Power. For in-
stance,  you  may  listen  to a Truth,  but if you  do not believe 
It, how  can  you  be blessed  by It. In all the Simplicity  of Life  and  Its Majestic  Power,  you 
must  understand  that  Life  acts  thru  Its Energy,  Its Power, 
Its Light. To understand  and  have  the use of It, you  must 
have  some  Definite  Application. In your  mathematical 
work  in school,  you  have  a way  and  means  by which  you 
work  out and  solve  the problems. Life  has always  provided 
the EXACT  MEANS;  and  when  I say "exact"  I mean  just 
that,  by which  mankind  may  solve  its own  problems. What 
you call problems  after  all, are just opportunities  in Life,  by 
which  Individuals  strengthen  their  Spiritual  Powers,  their 
spiritual  muscles,  as it were;  and  release  into  their  world 
of action,  the Power  of Life  in greater  intensity. Beloved  People  of America,  mankind  has arrived  at last 
at the understanding  for those  who  care  to study,  where  the 
people  are no longer  slaves  of circumstances. Remember, 
Beloved  People  of America,  the conditions  which  exist  to-
day, are here  because  Individuals  have  succumbed  to the 
idea,  that  some  outside  conditions  had  power  to limit  or 
subject  them. In order  to have  the fulness  of what  you  re-
quire,  you  must  overcome  such  an idea. YOU  MUST  RE-
MOVE  THE  FEELING  IN  YOU,  THAT  SOME-
THING  OUTSIDE  OF  YOU  HAS  MORE  POWER 
THAN  THE  LIGHT  WHICH  IS WITHIN  YOU. DISCOURSE  XXII  347 
With  great  firmness  stand  by the Power  of your  Life, 
to which  you  have  not  heretofore  given  very  much  con-
sideration. You  have  accepted  It constantly  in the  small 
part of It which  has been  flowing  forth  into  your  world  of 
action;  because,  unless  you  know  the  Source  of a thing, 
unless  you  know  the Power  which  is there,  how  can  you 
have  its use. If you  have  a piece  of machinery  in the  mechanical 
world;  and  it has many  levers,  setting  certain  parts  of that 
machinery  into  operation;  if you  pull  the wrong  lever,  you 
will get a wrong  result;  but if you  understand  your  levers 
and pull  the right  one,  you  will  have  the exact  result  you 
expect. It is identically  the same  way  in applying  the Great 
Laws  of Life. Once  you  understand,  you  have  the Author-
ity to act in the human  octave  in your  human  form,  to call 
forth  the  Power  of Life,  to produce  Harmony  and  Per-
fection  in you  and  your  world,  then  you  are complying 
with  the Law  of Life  and  Its Requirement. As you  go on, 
continuing  to call It forth,  clearer  and  clearer  will  come  the 
Understanding  from  within  you,  of what  This  Application 
means  in the Requirement  of your  Life. Then,  as you  un-
derstand  more  and  more,  the  Power  released  is greater; 
your  confidence  is strengthened,  and  you  say:  well  I accom-
plished  that. Then  you  go on, and  on, from  one  achieve-
ment  to another. Beloved  People  of America,  and  Beloved  "I AM"  Stu-
dents,  you  have  nothing  in the future  to fear,  not one thing. In This  Understanding  of the Law  of Life,  you  become 348 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Master  and  Controller  of the ENERGY  which  flows  forth 
at your  command. I say,  "at your  Command,"  because  you 
are the Decreer  for your  world,  as to where  and  how  that 
energy  is going  to act. At your  Command,  the Power  of 
the Energy  of Life,  will  flow  forth  to a given  objective;  if 
you understand  the Power  of Concentration  and  the need 
of holding  your  attention  upon  your  Goal. Perhaps  you  do not  realize  and  understand  that  your 
concentration  is your  attention. When  you  hold  your  atten-
tion fixed  upon  a given  objective  to be attained,  the Power 
of Life  flows  thru,  with  Its Infinite  Irresistible  Power  and 
acts,  until  you  have  the results,  you  desire. That  is why  your 
fixed  attention  upon  a thing,  understanding  the Power  of 
Life,  will  release  the  Infinite  Power  of action  there;  the 
Power,  Substance  and  Intelligence  to constantly  govern  the 
activity,  until  the result  is attained. When  you  wish  to accomplish  a thing,  decide  upon  what 
you want  to do; so far as your  outer  intelligence  will  in-
struct  you. If you  are uncertain  in any  way,  call the Power 
of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  is your  Individ-
ualized  Presence  of God—the  Presence  of Life,  into  action 
to instruct  you;  to stand  by and  see that  you  do the RIGHT 
THING,  if there  seems  to be a lack  of understanding  in 
the outer  consciousness. You  are not taking  chances. You 
are not dealing  with  indefinite  results;  but you  are the DI-
RECTOR  OF  THE  ENERGY,  to produce  the certain  re-
sult you  require. If you  will  do this,  any  one can prove  This  Great  Law  to DISCOURSE  XXIII  349 
himself  or herself;  and  to the whole  world;  because  you 
are a Part  of the Great  Life  and  Its Mighty  Activity  in the 
human  octave. All human  forms  which  are here  in em-
bodiment  at one time,  are a Part  of the One  Great  Life,  and 
Its Mighty  Action. To the degree  Individuals  understand 
how  to call  forth  the Greater  Power  and  Action  of Life, 
will they  become  a GREATER  PART  IN THE  EXPAN-
SION  OF THAT  ONE  GREAT  LIFE. I ask  you  to observe  the  vast  number  of mankind  on 
Earth  and  how  each  one  is different. No one has identically 
the same  desire;  no two  are just  alike. Then,  you  can  see 
how  earnestly  Life  has tried  to find  a means  of expression; 
to pour  Its Perfection  into  the Earth,  where  mankind  hav-
ing forgotten  Life,  has  charged  and  filled  its atmosphere 
with  discord,  limitations  and  distress  of every  kind. Mankind  had  wholly  forgotten  there  was  an Individ-
ualized  Great  Presence  of Life,  and  how  each  one  could 
call and  release  a Greater  Power,  a Greater  Intelligence. People  did not know  it was  possible. Even  with  all the at-
tempts  which  have  been  made  to instruct  mankind  in the 
Higher  Ideals  of understanding,  still  the people  felt a mys-
terious  condition;  that  it had  to be done  in some  compli-
cated  manner;  so Individuals  might  seek  from  another, 
some  peculiar  manifestation  of the  Explanation  of Life. That  is where  the confusion  of mankind  has come  in, con-
cerning  the Entire  Universe. In fact,  It was  so simple  the 
mass  of mankind  has not believed  It. In the Application  of Life,  again  it is simple,  but  very 350 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Powerful  and  Majestic  in Its Action,  and  will  produce  exact 
results. Therefore,  if you  want  to be Free,  first  you  must 
keep  yourself  obedient  to Life,  which  is Harmony. That 
is the Out-pouring  of Divine  Love,  thru  the  Individual. The human  cannot  generate  Divine  Love;  because  it is 
charged  with  human  qualities;  but  in its capacity  to call 
forth  from  the  Presence,  Life's  Power—which  is Wholly 
Pure  and  Perfect—the  outer  self  can  call  and  send  forth 
in a Mighty  Stream  of Action,  by currents  of Energy—the 
Power  of Divine  Love,  which  harmonizes  each  one's  world. It prepares  the way  for the Great  Intelligence  of Life,  to 
bring  about  conditions  to produce  the  Perfection  the  In-
dividual  requires. Therefore,  if you  want  to understand  This,  try it out. If 
you do not succeed  to your  fullest  desire,  remember  a great 
city is not built  in a day. You  are a World  within  yourself. Beloved  Individuals,  do you quite  understand  that. You  are 
an Individualized  World  within  yourself,  within  your  own 
feeling  world  and  its capacity. Therefore,  when  you  turn 
to the Presence  of Life,  with  the desire  to perfect  yourself, 
you are perfecting  the World. You might  say to Me—my  world  is of small  dimension 
—but  who  shall  say how  far reaching  that  world  of yours 
will become  or how  it will  expand. You  are One  in Life 
remember. Your  feeling  world—your  thoughts  and  your 
feeling  go out to the periphery  of Life. It goes  to the farthest 
distance. Therefore,  to the degree  that  you  are perfecting 
yourself,  will  you  lift and  assist  in perfecting  all which DISCOURSE  XXIII  351 
touches  your  world,  individually  or otherwise. That  is how 
far-reaching  your  World  can  become. Further  than  that,  you  have  a Great  Privilege  in pouring 
forth  your  Blessings  to Nature,  who  has had  the discord  of 
mankind  poured  upon  her Great  Beauty  and  Perfection. It 
is time  now  mankind  awakened  to its responsibility;  and 
poured  out Love  and  Blessings  upon  Nature. Thus,  Nature 
will come  back  and  produce  for Individuals,  the Limitless 
Abundance  they  require  of every  good  thing. Therefore,  co-
operate  with  Life. When  Life  sees  the Individual  is ready, 
It will  pour  out Its Limitless  Blessings  everywhere. You are dealing  with  Life,  and  That  Dispenser  of Life 
which  is your  Higher  Mental  Body,  knows  with  Great  In-
telligence  all requirements,  all demands  and  how  all an-
swers  are to come. There  is no such  thing  in Life  as dealing 
with  blind  Intelligence. All Intelligence,  even  in Nature,  all 
Activity  is governed  by a Great  Intelligence;  but mankind's 
disobedience  to Life,  has caused  people  to believe  this  was 
not True. I say to you,  as One  in Authority  for the Earth: 
"There  is no such  thing  as chance". Mankind's  earthly  activity,  if the attention  be given  to 
Life,  will  be provided  and  directed  with  mechanical  ac-
curacy,  into  that  which  each  Life  Stream  demands. Individ-
uals will  not find  any  chance  anywhere  along  their  Path-
way of Life;  but  since  mankind  had  forgotten  THE 
SOURCE  OF  LIFE  WITHIN  NATURE,  people  have 
believed  that  all from  the outer  standpoint,  must  be a form 
of chance. 352 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
When  you  understand  that  you  are the "Beloved  Mighty 
I AM  Presence,"  the Individualized  Presence  of Life,  the 
Greatest  Intelligence  in the Universe,  then  you  know  noth-
ing in your  experience—your  Life  Stream  can  be chance. It is under  Great  Intelligent  Direction;  but if you  refuse  to 
give obedience  to It, you  cannot  blame  Life  for not  pro-
ducing  Its Perfection  for you. Life  is always  ready;  always 
wants  to produce  Its Great  Perfection;  but  since  you  had 
forgotten  Its Source,  how  could  you  have  all It contains. Beloved  Friends  of America,  you  are dealing  with  a Def-
inite  Law,  a Definite  Power. It is your  Life  called  forth  into 
action. Search  out the Great  Truth  of Life  which  is in the 
Saint  Germain  Series  of books. There  you  will  find  the Ap-
plication,  the Understanding,  the Explanation. Then  apply 
It and  see what  Life  will  do for you. There  is no mystery 
about  It. Try  It. The  Messengers  who  have  carried  This 
Light  forth  with  such  earnest  firm  determination,  have  said 
that to thousands  and  thousands  of people. From  Our  Rec-
ords,  which  We  have  in the Invisible,  there  are over  six 
hundred  and  seventy  thousand  people  now  in This  "I AM" 
Activity. Therefore,  it is more  than  an ordinary  activity;  more 
than  a human  activity;  for WE  HAVE  SO  PREPARED 
THE  AIR  CURRENTS,  WHICH  THE  OUTER 
WORLD  DOES  NOT  UNDERSTAND,  BY  WHICH 
THE  FEELING  WORLD  OF  MANKIND  RECEIVES 
THE  MIGHTY  RADIATION,  GOING  FORTH  IN 
THE  WORDS  WHICH  THE  MESSENGERS  SPEAK DISCOURSE  XXIII  353 
OR WE  SPEAK. Therefore,  We  are rendering  a Service 
to the Earth  unknown  and  quite  unbelievable  to a great 
many  as yet;  but  This  Work  shall  go on, until  there  are 
ten times  or more,  as many  people  as today  who  under-
stand  It; or at least  have  the opportunity  to understand, 
there  is a Great  God  Presence  above  each  human  Being, 
which  beats  each  Heart;  and  gives  Individuals  Life  and 
Intelligence,  by which  they  can expand  the Fulness  of all 
Life wishes  to express  or give  forth  thru  them. Today,  you  stand  in the Fulness  of the Presence  of Life. Why  do I say that  to you,  who  do not understand  yet This 
Great  Law. Because  by the Power  of the Cosmic  Light, 
which  is acting  in the feeling  world  of mankind,  you  are 
standing  now—this  moment—in  the Gateway  of Freedom. Your  chance  to enter  in and  go forward  or turn  aside  and 
go the human  way,  is quite  within  your  own  judgment 
and privilege;  for that  remains  within  the  action  of your 
Free  will  and  choice. Since  I am speaking  to you  direct  from  the Cosmic  Law 
today,  may  you  understand  and  feel the Great  Cosmic  Love 
which  reaches  out Its Arms,  and  enfolds  you  in the Glory 
of the Perfection  Life  wants  you  to manifest. To the degree 
you are willing  to accept  those  Enfolding  Arms  of Light, 
that Out-pouring  of Divine  Love  into  your  Hearts,  will  you 
be able  to understand;  there  is far more  on Earth  than  that 
of which  you  have  thus  far dreamed. Mankind  is awakening  to the Power  of the Light,  which 
is within  the Individual. For  centuries  and  centuries,  man-354 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
kind  has  understood  that  God  was  within;  that  Christ  is 
within. Today,  the people  are going  to have  the opportunity 
to prove  HOW  MUCH  OF IT IS THERE. THIS  PROV-
ING  WILL  FIND  THAT  GOD  REALLY  IS THERE, 
AND  THAT  CHRIST,  THE  ACTION  OF  GOD,  IS 
REALLY  THERE. CHRIST  IS NOT  JUST  A PRIN-
CIPLE. CHRIST  IS THE  ACTION  OF GOD,  PEOPLE 
OF EARTH. THE  FULL  POWER  OF  ITS  MANI-
FESTATION,  WILL  BRING  PERFECTION  INTO 
ANY  HUMAN  LIFE. IT WILL  MAKE  THAT  LIFE 
EVEN  IN  THE  HUMAN  OCTAVE,  DIVINE  IN-
STEAD  OF  HUMAN. THEREFORE,  YOUR  HEARTS,  PEOPLE  OF 
AMERICA,  ARE  DIVINE. THE  POWER  WHICH  IS 
THERE—THE  LIGHT,  GOD,  WHICH  IS IN YOUR 
PHYSICAL  HEART  IS DIVINE;  SO  ONE  ORGAN 
OF YOUR  BODY  IS DIVINE. PLEASE  ACCEPT  IT, 
AND  ALLOW  DIVINITY  TO  EXPAND  ITSELF 
INTO  THE  FULNESS  OF  ALL  LIFE  HAS. THEN 
YOU,  TOO,  WILL  SEE  AS I DO,  THAT  GOD  IS THE 
DOMINION  OF EARTH  AND  ALL  WHICH  IT CON-
TAINS. YOU  CAN  PROVE  THIS. YOU  CAN  FEEL 
ITS MIGHTY  GLORY. I ASK  YOU  TO  FEEL  IT TO-
DAY. Beloved  Students,  My  Joy today,  in bringing  to you  the 
Radiation,  the Power  of Life,  is not so much  the  Words 
which  I shall  say to you,  but the Power  of Radiation. You 
probably  do not see Me. I stand  above,  pouring  My  Radi-DISCOURSE  XXIII  355 
ance  to you,  as I flash  the Words  to the Messenger. Will 
you be kind  enough,  in the  Fulness  of the  Great  Love 
which  you  have  expressed  in This  Class,  to open  the Doors 
of your  Hearts—of  your  feeling  world;  and  let the Liquid 
Light  pour  forth  today,  in Its Final  Achievement  of all 
which  I wish  to do for you. Let Its Fulness  flow  forth. May 
I remind  you,  This  is the Greatest  Invincible  Protection  to 
you,  which  We  have  given  forth  thus  far. The Liquid  Light  will  protect  you  from  human  sug-
gestions;  from  discarnate  entities  attaching  themselves  to 
your  feeling  world;  and  from  the influence  of black  magi-
cians. This  is what  I have  started  forth  and  will  continue 
to pour  to the students  who  have  Right  Motives;  who  have 
earnest  intensity  to the Light. Remember,  Beloved  Ones, 
there  is nothing  hidden  from  the Light. We  know  exactly 
what  is in your  feeling,  in your  motive. Therefore,  do not 
try ever  to deceive  each  other;  or worst  of all try to deceive 
yourselves. Unfortunately,  many  of mankind  in the attempt 
to deceive  others,  have  only  deceived  themselves. Remember,  if you  do not have  the Blessing,  it is because 
something  is acting  in your  feeling  world—possibly  un-
known  to you. If you  would  be sincere  in asking  for every-
thing  else  but  the Perfection  of Life,  to be taken  out  of 
your  feeling  world,  you  would  prepare  yourself  for This 
Blessing. This  is not just  so many  Words. It is a Substance 
of Life,  charged  into  your  feeling  world. Since  so much  has 
been  accomplished—I  cannot  take  the time  to even  intimate 
to you  all that  has been  accomplished,  but sufficient  I think 356 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
has been  said,  to give  you  some  idea  and  to make  your 
Hearts  rejoice  forever—you  who  are sincere;  that  it was 
your  Privilege  to be present  at an Out-pouring  of This 
Kind. Because  a thing  is invisible,  Beloved  Students,  does  not 
mean  that  it is not tangible. My Presence  is invisible  to you; 
but I am VERY  TANGIBLE  and  My Currents  of Energy 
are VERY  TANGIBLE. Therefore,  as you  feel This  Glow 
in your  feeling  world,  try to understand  what  It means  and 
the uplift  which  It brings  into  your  feeling. Shall  I say something  to you  which  reveals  the mathe-
matical  precision  of This  Activity,  which  you  will  perhaps 
appreciate. In twenty  minutes,  the vibratory  action  of your 
bodies  has  been  lifted  twenty  percent  more,  than  it was 
twenty  minutes  ago. This  you  do not  understand  out-
wardly;  but  to Us, it is VERY  TANGIBLE. I ask you  to 
qualify  all that  is done  to be eternally  sustained  within  you; 
because  We  are here  for Definite  Action. We  are here  for 
Definite  Results  in your  Life  and  This  is to be sustained. We 
have  for almost  nine  months,  watched  for the opportunity 
where  We  could  begin  to render  This  Service  for the  "I 
AM"  Students. You have  read  of Bob,  Rex,  Nada,  Pearl  and  the Mes-
sengers,  who  came  to Me in India  and  in the Cave  of Light, 
described  in the last  chapter  of the Magic  Presence. That 
was all very  Real,  Beloved  Students. Far  more  Real  than 
you yet comprehend;  but as you  read  and  contemplate  that 
chapter,  steadily  and  surely,  there  will  come  the Full  Import DISCOURSE  XXIII  357 
into your  outer  consciousness  thru  your  feeling  world,  of 
just what  It means. Today,  you  are living  in a world  charged  with  human 
discord  and  mankind  must  have  more  than  ordinary  pro-
tection;  and  also  the students  who  want  to go forth  to Vic-
tory. Therefore,  This  Assistance  is being  given,  Beloved 
Ones;  and  I trust  that  every  one  of you  can  comprehend 
and feel  the Truth  of Those  Words. If you  can,  then  We 
will be able  to render  Greater  and  Greater  continued  Serv-
ice. Do you  think,  Beloved  Ones,  that  the Messengers  would 
come  and  come,  again  and  again  into  your  midst;  and  We 
would  pour  forth  the Radiation,  which  is released  in These 
Classes,  if We  had  not some  Definite  Purpose  for it. To 
be a temporary  thing  would  be well;  but  in the ultimate, 
it would  be comparatively  useless. Therefore,  ALL  THAT 
WE DO  HAS  A PERMANENT  SUSTAINING  ACTIV-
ITY;  AND  NO  ONE  CAN  RELAX  OR  SLIP  BACK 
FROM  THIS  WHICH  WE  BRING  TO  YOU. Beloved  Ones  of Seattle,  the  difference  between  your 
Inner  vibratory  action  now  and  one  year  ago,  is remark-
able. If I were  to tell you  exactly,  you  would  scarcely  believe 
Me. You  do not see yet the Out-picturing  of That,  as per-
haps  many  of you  would  like  to, but I know  It is there. I 
know  the Inner  Achievement  is there. I know  the clearing 
away  of conditions  which  is releasing  you  into  your  Free-
dom  is acting. Depending  upon  the acceptance  in your  feeling  and  con-358 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
sciousness,  that  all and  more  than  We  have  intimated  is 
being  done,  do you  have  the Release  of the Courage  and 
Strength  you  require. Thru  your  acceptance  of It, will  It 
hold  you  sustained,  until  you  see the Greater  and  Greater 
Out-picturing  of all that  must  necessarily  come  forth,  from 
within  out. All mankind  thru  long  centuries,  have  been 
bringing  things  from  without  in; and  as you know,  largely 
the things  they  did not want. Now  in reversing  the process, 
you are bringing  forth  the Perfection  of Life  from  within, 
instead  of human  conditions  from  outside. I urge  you  and  repeat  it again,  Beloved  Ones,  since  you 
have  done  this  for centuries,  remember  how  alert  must  be 
the guard. Do not for one  moment  give  Power  any  longer 
to outside  things,  persons,  places  or conditions. If you  con-
tinue  to do so, We cannot  help  you;  but in a limited  man-
ner; but if you  will  dismiss  them  and  know,  since  you  have 
observed  This  Chart,  that  your  Presence  is the Governing 
Intelligence,  all discord  must  dissolve. With  your  attention 
to It, all human  qualities  and  conditions  must  dissolve  and 
disappear. Then,  you  will  have  acted  in the best  manner 
possible,  for Us to give  you  the Full  Assistance  We  would 
like to; but if there  is doubt  or questioning  in your  mind, 
you will  constantly  requalify  the energy;  until  you  will  only 
have  the partial  result  of all We would  like  to give. Surely,  you  who  have  known  the  Messengers  during 
these  years,  have  come  to know  definitely  they  are honest 
and sincere;  and  THE  TRUTH  WHICH  THEY  HAVE 
GIVEN  FORTH  IS FROM  US DIRECT. Now  these  are DISCOURSE  XXIII  359 
important  points. If there  are those  who  are here  for the 
first time,  you  must  understand,  that  all things  which  stir 
up in mankind—intense  fear  or whatever  the discordant 
condition  is, are depriving  the people  thru  listening  to what 
disturbs  them;  and  holding  them  in their  binding  limita-
tion. You who  have  THIS  OPPORTUNITY,  need  no longer 
go on in any  kind  of limitation,  in any  distress  in your 
physical  body,  after  this  which  has been  done  for you  here. You can  have  the sensitiveness  in your  feeling  world,  by 
which  your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  can  direct  you  mag-
nificently—accurately. Do not  jump  at conclusions. Wait 
the assurance  of Its Direction. Then  as you  keep  trying  this 
out, you  will  find  you  can move  just  from  one  point  to the 
other;  with  a definite  mathematical  precision  which  will 
delight  you. IT WILL  CAUSE  YOU  TO REALIZE,  YOU 
HAVE  ENTERED  INTO  THE  DIVINE  DIRECTION 
OF LIFE. Thus,  It will  hold  you  Free  from  that  which 
might  remain  of human  accumulation,  either  in your  world 
or in your  associates. This  is a point  of which  I want  to remind  you;  so much 
has been  done  for many  of the students,  and  their  entire 
accumulation  dissolved  and  consumed;  but remember,  Be-
loved  Ones,  you  are moving  in constant  contact  with  the 
feeling  world  of other  Individuals,  for whom  this  has not 
been  done. Then,  if you  accept  feeling  from  others,  if you 
accept  suggestions  from  others,  you  will  be acting  similarly, 
as if it were  coming  from  your  own  world. 360 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Do you  not understand  why  the Messenger  has,  in This 
Class  especially,  stressed  so earnestly  your  Call  to the Pres-
ence,  to hold  about  you,  the Tube  of Light  and  use  the 
Violet  Consuming  Flame. The  Messenger  and  sometimes 
We, gave  forth  directly  Ourselves,  that  Certain  Accom-
plishment  had  been  reached  in the feeling  world  of man-
kind;  and  that  the students  had  been  freed  from  their  own 
human  creation  and  accumulation. They  took  it for granted 
and have  thought:  Now  I won't  have  any more  problems— 
I won't  have  anything  more  to do, but just  smile  and  be 
Free. MY  DEAR  ONES,  YOU  MUST  MAKE  YOUR 
APPLICATION,  UNTIL  YOU  ARE  ASCENDED  BE-
INGS,  MAKE  NO  MISTAKE  ABOUT  THAT. Never  forget,  that  just  because  your  feeling  world  has 
been  set Free  from  accumulation  and  discordant  conditions, 
it does  not mean  the rest  of the world  has. You  are con-
stantly  moving  among  other  people  who  are  not  Free. Therefore,  unless  your  guard  is up by your  Tube  of Light, 
their  discord  can rush  in upon  you  as before. NOT  ONLY 
THAT,  BUT  YOU  MUST  HOLD  YOUR  PROTEC-
TION  BY  YOUR  CONSCIOUS  COMMAND,  for  the 
Light  to stand  guard  and  repel  or dissolve  and  consume, 
everything  of human  qualities  or a discordant  nature; 
which  attempts  to touch  your  world  or find  action  within  it. Do you  not see that. I am very  grateful  for the oppor-
tunity  to explain  this  one  particular  point  to you  today; 
for unless  you  see it, you  would  not  understand  what  is 
happening  to you. Because  We have  rendered  This  Certain DISCOURSE  XXIII  361 
Service  to so many,  it does  not mean  you  must  let down 
your  guard  or your  application. Not  at all. You  should 
redouble  it with  great  joy,  because  of the Assistance  which 
is being  given  you. I say  to you  ladies,  if it came  house-cleaning  time  and 
someone  offered  to assist  you,  would  you  just  sit down  and 
let them  do all the work. I think  not. You  would  be so 
grateful  that  you  would  take  hold  with  them  and  do all 
you could,  to complete  that  accomplishment  as quickly  as 
possible. Now  if I am willing  to give  you  My  Assistance, 
will you  not take  hold  with  Me and  do your  part. Don't 
expect  Me to carry  all. I think  you  see that  clearly. In This  your  Call  to Life,  which  is so much  beyond  your 
comprehension  as yet—and  I say it really  very  kindly;  in 
the human,  as long  as some  of its qualities  are yet acting, 
your  comprehension  is limited. I trust  you  will  continue  on 
after  today,  in Our  Mighty  Vibratory  Action  into  which 
you have  been  drawn  and  held. I want  you  to still  be held 
in It. Unless  you  determine  otherwise,  you  will  be. There-
fore,  you  will  continue  to go on, and  on, in the raising,  ex-
pansion  and  intensity  of This  Vibratory  Action  which  has 
been  released  to you. You  will  hold  It sustained,  if you  will 
do these  simple  things  and  give  your  attention  to the Pres-
ence. The Messenger  has  so often  told  you,  certain  simple 
things,  which  if you  would  do them,  before  retiring  at 
night,  would  bring  you  such  results. It is such  an oppor-
tunity,  Beloved  Students;  for you  to set into  action  the Great 362 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Law  of Life,  to operate  while  your  physical  body  is asleep; 
while  there  is no outer  resistance,  I want  you  so earnestly, 
to improve  that  opportunity. I say to you  definitely,  if you  would  practice  the follow-
ing a little,  it would  do wonders  for you. In whatever  con-
fronts  you  during  the  day,  if it were  something  which 
seemed  unsurmountable,  use your  Decree  and  say:  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence. " while  my body  sleeps,  reveal  to me the 
solution  of this  problem—you  would  awaken  in the morn-
ing, with  a Clear  Definite  Understanding  and  Solution  of 
the whole  situation. Even  though  This  Service  has been  rendered,  still  you  do 
not realize  how  much  resistance  is in the feeling  world  of
