That  is why  never  in the history  of 
all embodiments,  have  you  had  the Privilege  which  stands 
before  you  tonight. In This  Service  which  is rendered  while 
I am talking  to you,  the Substance  will  remain  untouched 
by any  human  qualification. To the degree  you  can accept 
This,  will  you  find  the disturbing  things  of your  outer  life 
and the limiting  things,  rapidly  dissolving  before  you. Do not  misunderstand  Me. This  is not  just  so many 
words,  but  Mighty  Qualities  which  the  Words  are  de-
scribing  to you. They  are acting  within  your  Inner  World. What  a Wonderful  Thing  it is, to become  acquainted  some-
what  with  your  Inner  World. So long,  you  have  thought 
that which  you  see out here,  is all there  was  to Life. It is 
really  just  the shell  of the Great  Inner  Light  and  Activity! Yet, mankind  has thought,  the human  form  was  all there 
was. Today,  behold  your  Reality! Behold  the  God  Presence 
which  gives  you  Life;  which  has come  to be known  as the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  whose  very  Words  give  Life  and 
withdraw  It. When  mankind  becomes  filled  with  too much 
inharmony,  then  Life  withdraws;  and  you  are sent  forth, 
to again  return,  build  another  form  and  try it again. Today 
that shall  cease! To every  one  who  will  make  earnest,  sin-
cere,  honest  effort,  if not in this  embodiment,  then  in the 
next,  will  the pilgrimage  upon  Earth  cease. Only  as you  call  to your  Presence  and  eventually  make DISCOURSE  VIII  109 
your  Ascension,  can  you  be Free  from  the wheel  of birth 
and rebirth  and  the limitations  of Earth. Only  when  you, 
in the Call  of your  Presence,  allow  It to dissolve  and  con-
sume  your  human  creations;  and  to the degree  that  the 
Earth  loses  its attraction  for the denser  human  form,  will 
you know  what  Freedom  means! Today  the Law  is given! The  Application  is given! The 
Scepter  of Power  is placed  within  your  hands,  in the 
Acknowledgment  of your  Presence! You  can  wield  It to 
Perfection  or fail to use It and  remain  in limitations. You 
are not  children  of Earth  longer,  even  though  you  still 
dwell  here! When  your  Light  expands  within  your  Heart 
as It is today,  then  I can truly  and  honestly  say to you,  you 
are no longer  children  of Earth. Will  you  accept  It in Great 
Calm  Gratitude  ? Feel  It a Sacred  Obligation  and  Under-
standing! Do not  exploit  It in the  outer  world,  but  feel 
with  such  Great  Deep  Gratitude,  the remainder  of the Ac-
tivity  for your  Freedom,  can quickly  come  into  action. My Work  is always  with  the One  Goal—the  Ascension! It seems  strange  to the Western  world,  and  yet why  should 
it ? Thousands  and  hundreds  of thousands  of people  have 
preached  the Gospel  of Jesus  Christ. Jesus  the Christ  left 
the Example  of the Ascension  to mankind;  and  the Etheric 
Record  which  STANDS  VIBRANT  in the Etheric  Realm 
of the Earth,  is always  beckoning  mankind  on, and  on, and 
on; until  one  day  all mankind  will  understand  His  Words 
given  so long  ago! Why  does  not mankind  understand  ? Because  the Activ-133 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ity of the feeling  world  was  forgotten! It is your  feeling 
world  which  MUST  BE GOVERNED  to gain  the Victory! I am sure  your  Gratitude  to Beloved  Saint  Germain  is Eter-
nal, for having  brought  forth  This  Marvelous  Explanation; 
for you  have  all required  to give  you  your  Freedom  and 
Victory. Remember,  Beloved  Ones,  your  Determined  and 
Firm  Application  is IMPERATIVE! All Assistance  which 
you require,  in your  call  to the Presence,  IF YOUR  MO-
TIVE  IS RIGHT,  HONEST  AND  SINCERE,  WILL  BE 
GIVEN  BY  THE  HOST  OF  ASCENDED  MASTERS. Never  lose  the memory  of the fact,  that  your  Application 
is the Activity  by which  your  Freedom  comes. You  cannot 
say: "I am too tired  tonight,  to adore  my Presence! I have 
been  too busy  today,  to give  attention  to my Presence"— 
when  your  Freedom  depends  upon  your  Presence! As the 
Messenger  has said  to you,  Beloved  Ones,  it does  not mean 
that you  should  sit down  in the  corner  and  adore  your 
Presence;  but  every  moment  in your  daily  activity,  when 
your  mind  is not otherwise  occupied,  you  can in a flash-
send  your  adoration  to your  Presence! Feel  the Release  of 
Its Mighty  Currents  of Energy  in and  thru  your  body, 
which  will  keep  you  from  being  tired. That  will  give  you 
Happiness  in your  service  among  mankind;  and  if called 
firmly  into  action,  will  provide  every  condition  for your 
Happiness,  Supply  and  Comfort. So don't  ever  say,  you 
have  not time  to adore  your  Presence! Without  your  attention  to your  Presence,  you  will  re-
main  embodiment  after  embodiment  in the conditions  in DISCOURSE  IX hi 
which  you  find  yourselves  today  or were  in a year  ago. Mankind  drew  itself  into  limitations,  by its own  misuse  of 
the Free  will. It was  entirely  of the people's  own  volition, 
and now  they  must  rise out of it by their  Earnest  Call  to the 
Presence. They  must  keep  it up until  that  Victory,  be it 
days,  hours,  weeks,  months  or years,  is accomplished. One who  will  stand  in and  by his or her  own  "I AM 
Presence,"  calling  It into  action,  will  have  the  Victory! Of that  there  is no question,  and  in This  Assistance  which 
is being  given,  could  you  but  understand  the  Fulness  of 
It, your  Gratitude,  your  Love  which  has  been  so great  to 
Beloved  Saint  Germain  and  the Messengers,  would  increase 
an hundred  fold. You are living  in a Mighty  Reality! The  Laws  of Life 
are acting  with  great  speed  within  and  around  you. Do 
you understand,  Beloved  Ones,  whether  you  are awake  or 
asleep,  This  Action  of the Great  Law  is constantly  going 
on within  and  around  you! You  for the  time  have  for-
gotten  It, in the  attraction  of the  outer  world. Yet  the 
Inner  Action  is going  on, directed  by your  Higher  Mental 
Body. When  your  Call  is sincere  and  firm,  then  will  your 
Higher  Mental  Body  release  more  and  more  of Its Mighty 
Energy,  which  dissolves  and  consumes  all unlike  Itself. Do not give  way  to forgetfulness! Remember,  you  have 
entered  the Race  for Life. Listen,  Beloved  Ones! You  have 
entered  the Race  for Life;  for without  your  Victory,  you 
will remain  in the shadows  of human  discord  and  destruc-
tion. 135 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
You,  in the  outer  world  today,  still  by slight  provoca-
tion and  by the unfortunate  human  law,  which  mankind 
does  not understand,  place  each  other  behind  prison  bars! Your  prison  of your  own  creation  is the greatest  one  of all! You,  Dear  Ones,  in the limitations  which  have  been  yours 
in the past  for so long,  have  felt  if you  could  only  burst 
those  bonds  which  seemed  to bind  you,  how  you  would  go 
forth  into  Freedom! That  Feeling  was  Real! There  are 
thousands  of people  who  have  had  that  experience. They 
have  felt,  if they  could  only  burst  the  something  which 
seemed  to hold  and  bind  them,  they  could  do much  Greater 
Things. It was  their  own  creation  which  they  felt binding 
them. It was  only  a pressure  of energy. It was  only  certain 
rates  of vibration  in the feeling! It was  only  whirls  of en-
ergy  in their  emotional  bodies! Today,  you  have  the Means  of setting  yourself  Free. Will 
you apply  It, Beloved  Ones,  and  let Us help  you  quickly  to 
your  Freedom? It is so near! We  are  doing  all the Law 
permits  and  in many  instances,  setting  aside  much  of the 
action  of the Law. Otherwise  you,  yourselves  would  be com-
pelled  to correct  wrong  conditions. You  must  give  the As-
sistance,  so more  may  enter  into  Greater  Freedom,  to give 
the Service  needed  at this  time. Surely  you  understand  do 
you not ? In this,  shall  we call  it—Special  Service  which  is 
being  rendered,  it is to provide  those  to operate  the Law 
stronger  and  stronger;  in order  to give  the  needed  As-
sistance  for the Freedom  which  must  come  forth,  because 
the Call  must  come  from  you! DISCOURSE  VIII  113 
We are  ready  and  have  been  waiting  long. Your  part 
now,  is to make  the Call  with  Great  Earnestness  and  Sin-
cerity,  maintaining  Harmony  in the feeling  in the face  of 
any condition,  no matter  what,  then  the Release  will  come 
quickly. There  are many  in this  room  tonight! I shall  make  it 
quite  definite! There  are more  than  three  hundred  people 
in this  auditorium  tonight,  who  could  have  their  Freedom 
very quickly,  if they  would  be firm  and  calm  in their  Call 
to the Presence;  and  command  Complete  Harmony  in their 
feeling  to be maintained! It is not difficult,  Beloved  Ones! It is only  because  there  is not yet quite  sufficient  determina-
tion within  you;  to take  command  and  hold  control  over 
your  human  self. THAT  REQUIRES  FIRMNESS  AND 
UNYIELDING  DETERMINATION. Beloved  Ones,  when  you  are a little  angered  and  you 
determine  to have  a thing,  or do a thing,  you  exert  abun-
dance  of energy,  do you  not ? Well,  isn't  this  much  more 
important—your  Complete  Freedom? You  do not  have 
to release  the Full  Power  of Energy  which  you  release  in 
the tremendous  flash  of anger! All  Energy  which  is re-
leased  in your  Achievement,  must  be a Steady  Out-pouring 
—not  intermittent! By intermittent  activity,  you  lose  much 
of what  you  gain;  but  when  you  with  firm  determination 
call your  "I AM  Presence"  into  action;  take  firm  command 
of your  human  self  and  compel  it to be obedient;  you  are 
balancing  the Power  of the Presence  which  is called  forth 
into the physical  octave. It is what  is required  for your  quick 137 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Victory. As you  do it, and  I will  help,  you  will  find  ere long, 
that which  seemed  so much  obstruction,  so limiting  in the 
outer  world,  will  have  lost its power. I trust  I shall  find  you,  when  the  Messengers  return  at 
Christmas  time,  the  Most  Marvelous  Wondrous  Free  Be-
ings! Won't  you  accept  This  and  let Its Perfect  Activity 
take  place  in your  world? You  can  do it! It is for you! Al-
low no thing  in the outer  world  to interrupt  it! Do not discuss  This  or say to each  other:  "I wonder  after 
all, if that  was  just  talk"? I urge  you,  to be careful! This 
is a Mighty  Law  set into  action! Please  be obedient  and  do 
not discuss  this  night  with  each  other,  if you  want  to be 
Free! Go with  all the Gratitude  and  Sacredness  of this  night 
in Adoration  to your  Presence! Look  not  to the right  nor 
left! Listen  not to anyone  who  would  say anything  discour-
aging  to the Sacredness  of This  Night! I understand  you  do not yet comprehend  the Fulness  of 
This;  but  it is not necessary  to comprehend  it, all this  mo-
ment. If you  could  I would  say  to you:  "Be  Free! Arise! and It would  be done;  but  your  Requirements  must  be 
taken  into  consideration. To the  degree  you  will  do this, 
will you  find  yourself—a  changed  Being;  and  your  world, 
a New  World,  which  yesterday  you  could  not have  believed 
could  take  place  by tomorrow! Now  This  is a Service  being 
rendered. Will  you  accept  It as a Sacred  Blessing  to you  ? I thank  you,  Blessed  Ones  from  the  various  cities,  for 
making  the Call  to Me,  to enable  the Service  to be rendered 
in the removing  of discarnate  entities  from  your  environ-DISCOURSE  VIII  115 
ment,  yourselves  and  your  cities. I say to you  tonight,  Be-
loved  Ones  and  you  who  may  not be so familiar  with  This 
Activity:  "The  Greatest  Blessing  on the face  of the Earth 
today,  is in This  Service  of removing  from  the atmosphere 
of Earth,  the Individuals  who  have  passed  from  their  bodies, 
which  we call—discarnate  entities." There  are in your  Earth's  atmosphere,  hundreds  of thou-
sands  of Individuals  who  cannot  leave  the Earth  of their 
own  volition;  because  of the conditions,  they  created  be-
fore passing  on! Today,  the  Great  Cosmic  Law  has  said 
this condition  must  be given  a Dispensation! Therefore, 
as Authority  of This  Law,  I have  set It into  action. Those 
who  could  not have  removed  themselves  from  the darkness 
of their  own  creations  in the astral  or psychic  world,  which 
is a part  of your  Earth,  are being  released  and  removed  by 
the hundreds  of thousands. It is a Service  never  rendered 
on the face  of this  Earth  before;  and  the Release  of their 
pressure  of discord  in the atmosphere  of your  cities,  is the 
Evidence  that  it is actually  being  done. * 
# On December  2, 1939,  during  the Class  in Washington,  D. C., the last of the 
remaining  discarnate  entities  in the United  States  of America  were  taken  away. The Circle  of Blue  Flame  drawn,  so no more  would  be allowed  to enter  and 
now as soon  as Individuals  pass  out of the body,  they  are taken  out of the atmo-
sphere  of Earth  immediately. At the same  time,  the astral  or psychic  plane  was  also  consumed;  for that 
was the accumulation  of destructively  qualified  substance,  thought  and  feeling 
forms,  which  had  been  held  here  for centuries. This  Transcendent  Service  to Our  Blessed  Country  was  accomplished  by That 
Glorious  Being,  the Goddess  of Light,  Our  Beloved  Saint  Germain  and  Others 
°f the Ascended  Masters  who  assisted. Our  gratitude  to Them  is boundless  and 
Eternal  for That  Transcendent  Service. 139 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
We say to your  doubting  Thomases,  We  are not in the 
slightest  concerned. If you  wish  to doubt,  doubt  and  you 
will be the loser! If you  will  accept  the Truth  of This  Law, 
I have  told  you,  you  will  be the Beneficiary  in the Greatest 
Manner  Possible! We  are not concerned  about  those  who 
doubt,  but  to all Earnest  Students  of America,  We  say: 
"Arise  with  the Scepter  of your  Dominion  and  all this  con-
dition  in America  which  has endeavored  to bring  Her  into 
destruction,  shall  dissolve  from  within  her borders"! Do you  think  We  forget  the rest  of the World  in This 
Service  to America,  when  there  is no race  nor nation  to Us ? Then  why  do We urge  you,  to call and  give  This  Service  to 
America? Because  America  is the "Cup  of Light"  to the 
Earth. The  Law,  the Great  Cosmic  Law  compels  It to be 
so! It is not anyone's  particular  desire;  but because  it is so, 
We must  first  render  This  Service  and  Assistance  to Amer-
ica, then  This  Light  expands  and  the rest  of the  World 
may  be Free! Think  of it, Beloved  Ones! In the Far East,  there  was  the 
Great  Shamballa,  where  the  Great  Masters  from  Venus, 
Lords  of the Flame  from  Venus,  came  and  established  the 
City of White. It remained  there  for centuries  upon  an 
island,  They  created  for It and  poured  forth  Their  Radi-
ance  to mankind. Thru  much  of the  East  there  was  the 
worship  and  use of the Unfed  Flame,  where  people  came 
and took  Fire  from  the  Unfed  Flame  into  their  homes. That  touch  of the Unfed  Flame  lasted  thruout  the year. In your  use of This  Great  Call  today,  who  of you  shall DISCOURSE  VIII  117 
say how  soon—in  your  Honest  Deep  Sincere  Effort,  the 
Unfed  Flame  would  become  visible  in your  home,  for 
which  you  have  been  asking! If you  will  call  the Presence 
to establish  It, who  shall  say when  that  will  be done? I 
hope  none  will  say It cannot  be done! Beloved  Ones,  I urge  you,  which  I have  never  done  on 
Earth  before,  to feel  the deep  Sincerity  and  the Truth  of 
Our Sincere  Effort  to help  you. I tell you  Beloved  Children 
of the Earth—all  mankind  in America! those  who  criticize 
or condemn  these  Beloved  Messengers,  should  bow  their 
faces  in shame  forever! They  have  given  their  all, going 
forth  dauntless  and  fearless  before  the destructive  activity 
of mankind;  untouched  by it—carrying  This  Truth  with-
out rest or thought  of it! Then,  I say to those  who  do that— 
shameless  mankind! One  day  in the agony  of those  human 
Beings'  own  creation,  they  will  call  to these  Beloved  Mes-
sengers,  as never  they  called  to anyone  in the World. We have  told  you,  the  Messengers  have  told  you,  no 
human  Beings  can escape  reaping  their  own  creation. Then, 
why  will  any  Blessed  One  who  claims  to be an "I AM" 
Student,  allow  a quality  of criticism  to go forth  for any 
reason  whatsoever—because  you  know  the Law! You  can-
not say you don't! Every  one of you  knows  the Law! It only 
means  your  DETERMINATION  to have  Self-control  and 
you will  have  it. So, I say to you tonight,  the struggle  of mankind  has been 
very great;  but  if you  will  allow  Us,  We  will  help  you,  if 
you will  give  obedience  to Our  Requests. There  are  not 141 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
many,  you  must  notice  that! We  make  few  requests,  but 
when  We  do,  It means  everything  in your  Life  Stream! Remember  this! We  want  to help  you  so much,  but  We 
cannot  help  you,  if you  don't  want  Us to do so. Will  you  understand  tonight,  Beloved  Ones,  since  the 
Messengers'  Class  in San  Francisco,  I have  left My Cosmic 
Activity  to come  and  render  This  Service  to the Classes! Each  day,  I have  been  present  in every  Class  since  then. It 
sounds  very  simple,  doesn't  it; but if you  will  turn  to your 
Presence  for the feeling  of what  It means  in the Blessing  of 
mankind,  I am sure  you  will  feel  clearly  and  definitely,  It 
is not just  idle  expression. Today,  I rejoice  with  you,  in the 
Great,  Great  Blessing  which  came  to you  this  afternoon— 
how  very  wonderful  It is. Will  you  not join  Me in My De-
termination  to help  you  to be Free  ? To help  you  to Self-
Mastery  in every  Requirement,  which  will  give  you  your 
Freedom? I ask you,  I invite  you  to let Us help  you! Can 
We do more? I think  not! We can  do no more  than  to in-
vite you  to allow  Us to assist  you;  and  then,  you  take  com-
mand  thru  your  own  Self-control;  so the Power  of your 
Presence  may  be released  quickly,  to do Its Perfect  Work 
for you. I enfold  you  in the Fulness  of My  Love. As the 
Children  in India  became  a Part  of My Love,  so today,  you 
have  become  a Part  of My  Love. Try  to feel  what  that 
means  to you. Then  in the Fulness  of your  Call  to the Pres-
ence,  ask It to give  you  the Courage  and  Strength,  which 
will enable  you  to make  your  Call  with  such  earnestness, 
the Instantaneous  Response  comes  without  limit. DISCOURSE  VIII  119 
Until  We  meet  again,  in the Fulness  of your  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence,"  thru  whom  I pour  My  Love—FEEL! ACCEPT  IT AND  BE FREE! "I AM"  the  Courage! "I 
AM"  the Strength! "I AM"  the Light  within  you,  which 
gives  you  the Courage  and  Mastery  of your  human  self. "I AM"  the Full  Power  of Obedience  within  you,  to every 
Requirement  which  makes  for your  Freedom! In all the Universe  there  is but One  Power,  One  Light, 
One Substance,  One  Intelligence—"I  AM"—the  Power  of 
the Godhead;  announcing  Its Authority  at your  focus  of 
activity  in the physical  octave. Remember,  as you  refer  to 
the Godhead,  use  Those  Words—"I  AM"! Do not follow 
Those  Two  Words  with  any  negative  expression  or feeling; 
because  if you  do, then  in your  Call  to the Presence,  you 
make  that  negative  activity  tremendously  more  powerful  in 
your  Life. Do not ever  say:  I am sick;  I am broke;  I am lim-
ited. Don't  do it, because  then,  you  qualify  the Power  which 
you are calling  forth,  to produce  that  very  quality  and  ex-
perience  for you. Instead,  to every  expression  of pain  in the body,  limita-
tion of finances  or limitation  of any  kind  whatsoever,  say 
to such  appearance:  "'You  have  no power'! I know  my 
own  God  Presence,  my 'Mighty  I AM'! I know  there  can-
not act in my  world  any  limiting  thing  any  longer"! If 
there  is pain  in the  body,  say  to that  pain:  "Be  silent! 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'! sweep  out cause  and  effect  of this." Then  feel  It do it, and  you  will  be commanders  of your 
bodies  in no time! You  have  the Assistance! Now  use It! 143 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Do not yield  to those  conditions  or appearances,  which  have 
frightened  you  and  made  you  believe  you  were  under  their 
domination. You  are no longer  under  the domination  of 
pain;  under  the domination  of disturbance;  nor  under  the 
domination  of limitation  of any  kind! You  are not! Will 
you accept  that  and  live  it in feeling,  so you  may  have  your 
Freedom  now  ? In the Infinite  Light  of the "Mighty  I AM 
Presence,"  the Great  Host  of Ascended  Masters  and  the 
Great  Cosmic  Beings,  We enfold  you  all in the Fulness  of 
Their  Infinite  Light,  Its Power,  Its Activity,  Its Love,  Its 
Blessing! May  Our  enfolding  Light  cause  you  to feel  only 
Love  and  Blessings  pouring  out from  you  forever! We thank  you  for This  Opportunity  of calling  your  at-
tention  to Our  Endeavor  to assist  you,  the rest  is with  you. We are ready! We have  released  the Power,  the Energy,  the 
Intelligence  to act! To the  degree  you  will  accept  It and 
feel It, will  It produce  Our  Perfection  in your  world! In the Glory  of Our  Light  of Infinite  Power  and  Intel-
ligence,  I enfold  you  now  and  forever. DISCOURSE  XI 
SAN  FRANCISCO,  CALIFORNIA. August  i, 7937 
Beloved  Children  of the Light,  you  have  been  taught 
much. Tonight,  will  you  come  with  Me on a journey,  so 
you may  realize  more  than  ordinarily,  that  which  is a part 
of your  world,  yet unknown  to you. I refer  to your  Great 
Inner  Light  (or  Life)  which  is the  Activity  of your 
Reality,  thru  your  Higher  Mental  Body. It is a Part  of you 
so Real,  so Magnificent,  that  if you  suddenly  became  aware 
of the Perfection  which  you  really  are,  your  Joy would  be 
so boundless. I say to you  who  have  the appearance  of years,  if you 
suddenly  saw  how  beautiful,  how  youthful  you  really  are, 
the appearance  of age only  having  registered  on the atomic 
structure  of your  body;  how  differently  you  would  feel. This  Appearance  of the outer  structure  is but an appear-
ance. It is not your  Reality,  and  yet it seems  so real to you. This  is just  the outer  garment  which  you  are wearing, 
upon  which  you  have  registered  the discord,  which  has the 
appearance  of limitation  and  age. Now,  We  are  rapidly 
dissolving  all of that;  and  you will  stand  forth  Free,  wholly 
Free  from  your  own  creations. It was  My Joy to render  a Certain  Service  in which  one-
third  of your  own  human  creation,  or that  of all the 
"I AM"  Students  in America,  was  dissolved  and  con-
121 122 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
sumed  for you. The  Love  within  This  Class  has  made  it 
possible  for further  Assistance  of this  kind  to be given. I 
may  not say just how  much,  but just rejoice  in It. Before  We continue,  the Service  which  I began  yesterday, 
I wish  you  to know  is a Most  Remarkable  Thing. This 
Service  being  rendered  you,  has not been  tried  within  the 
Children  of Earth,  for more  than  two  hundred  thousand 
years. I tried  It at first,  only  as an experiment,  as to what 
could  be done  with  a general  group  of the Students. I find 
It can  be done  for all, which  is an Accomplishment  that 
brings  very  Great  Rejoicing  to Me. As the Beloved  Messenger  just  read  to you,  when  the 
Children  were  before  Me  in the Cave  of Light  in India, 
This  Same  Service  was  rendered. Oh,  feel instead  of having 
to go to far-off  India  at great  expense  and  use  of time,  I 
have  come  here  to you! It is the first  time  in the History 
of the Earth,  a Cosmic  Being  has really  come  in Person,  to 
render  the Children  of Earth  Such  a Service. Now,  We can  more  definitely  plan  Our  Activity  for the 
Outward  Progress  and  the Expansion  of your  Light. We 
can determine  more  definitely  just  what  you  will  do. Does 
it sound  unusual,  as though  We had  not confidence  in you  ? Not at all, because  you  have  not known  just  what  your  hu-
man  selves  would  do, and  it is why  We could  not depend  on 
you. I feel  so certain  ere long,  I shall  know  just  what  I can 
depend  on; and  that  is a very  great  deal,  to enable  us to go 
forward  in the Progress  of the Protection  of your  Beloved 
America. DISCOURSE  VIII  123 
As you  sit here  before  Me,  it is quite  as though  you  were 
sitting  in Chananda's  Audience  Chamber,  adjoining  the 
Cave  of Light. Tonight,  as the Beloved  Messenger  asked 
you,  will  you  feel  you  are actually  sitting  there  in His 
Audience  Chamber  before  Me,  as was  described  to you? While  just  yet,  I may  not stand  visible  before  you,  as I did 
with  those  Children,  yet "I AM"  as Tangibly  here. There-
fore,  in the Service  which  I am rendering  tonight,  will  you 
be kind  enough  to accept  It in the Fulness  of Its Power, 
altho  you  do not understand  It? It is not necessary,  but just 
have  the Kindly  Loving  Feeling  of Acceptance  of all I am 
doing  for you. That  is all I require  to do the Work. While  this  is going  on, I want  to take  you  on a little 
Journey  into  the realms  of discovery;  and  tell you  why  the 
need  for the Protection  of your  America  is so great. The 
destructive  forces  which  have  not yet been  wholly  brought 
into subjection—in  the last  lashing  of the dragon's  tail,  it 
has brought  forth  some  of the most  destructive  agencies. During  your  recent  world  war,  there  were  many  discover-
ies brought  forth  which  were  so tragic,  so drastic  in their 
nature  even  then;  but  since  then,  still  more  destructive 
things,  have  been  brought  into  the outer  use. Yet,  guard-
edly,  We have  watched  they  were  not released. Tonight,  I have  made  you  a part  of the Great  Protection, 
far more  so than  you  know;  and  far more,  than  I may 
explain  to you  tonight—except  to simply  call  your  atten-
tion to It! I mean,  not  only  you  who  are here,  but  all of 
the Earnest  "I AM"  Students  thruout  America! 124 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
I want  to say at this  point,  I am so sorry  for those  Blessed 
Ones  who  thru  foolish  human  suggestion,  have  turned 
aside  from  This  Pathway  of Light. I am sorry  indeed,  for 
We wanted  them  to enter  This  Great  Stream  of Light  and 
Perfection. Too  late,  they  will  see their  mistake. We  must 
move  forward. We cannot  wait  for anyone  or human  idio-
syncrasies. We  would  so love  to have  all who  have  once 
entered  This  Stream  of Light,  move  forward  with  Us, but 
such  is their  choice. I shall  say something  and  please  don't  let it seem  startling 
to you. As in the training  of Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and  Pearl  and 
those  who  were  there,  so today,  We  are taking  advantage 
of opportunities. I find  thru  This  Activity  which  I have 
started,  many  of you  in your  Higher  Mental  Bodies,  can do 
Tremendous  Work. That  shall  be utilized. First,  thru  the 
Assistance  of your  Higher  Mental  Bodies,  you  will  be 
taught  how  to draw  from  the physical  octave,  the energy 
which  is required. So your  Higher  Mental  Body  may  pro-
ject those  Rays  of Light,  to render  the  Service  which  is 
needed  today;  until  We can  bring  other  Individuals  to the 
point,  where  We  can  teach  them  in the outer  intellectual 
mind,  the use of These  Rays. We see all which  is occurring 
in the destructive  activities! We must  counter-balance  that, 
by the use of the Light  Rays! Now  the Law  of the Light  is, 
We may  not  use  a destructive  force;  but  WE  CAN  DO 
OTHER  THINGS! We  can  use the Constructive  Powers, 
to govern  the  forces  of darkness  or destructive  qualities; 
and this  We are preparing  to do! DISCOURSE  VIII  125 
Notice! but  for  your  Beloved  Saint  Germain  having 
brought  you,  as Students  thus  far, this  would  not have  been 
possible. So you  have  Him  to thank  with  all your  Love  and 
Gratitude,  and  I am sure  you  do. As He brought  Bob,  Rex, 
Nada,  Pearl  and  those  with  them  to the point  where  That 
Service  could  be rendered;  so has He brought  you  today, 
in less than  three  years,  to This  Point—where  This  Service 
can be rendered  in the  outer  world,  of which  you  are a 
part—far  more  Transcendent,  than  I am just  describing  to 
you tonight. You have  been  taught  to say to the forces  of darkness 
and to the human  creation  which  is limiting:  "You  have 
no power"! Beloved  Ones,  send  that  forth  with  Greater  and 
Greater  Earnestness  and  Intensity! Say  with  a Great  Calm 
Majesty  and  Power  from  your  Presence,  to all human  crea-
tion;  "'You  have  no Power'! Be thou  dissolved  by the 
Power  of the Light"! Individually,  please  do not miss  one  day,  and  especially 
at night,  saying  to all human  creation:  "In the Name  of my 
'Beloved  Mighty  I AM  Presence'  and  the Power  of the As-
cended  Masters,  I say  to all human  creation:  'You  have 
no power'! 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  and  Great  Cosmic 
Light! Project  Thy  Mighty  Light  Rays  in and  thru  the 
Earth—establishing  Thy  Currents  thruout  the atmosphere 
of Earth;  and  cause  all destructive  qualities  and  activities 
there  to cease  to exist"! Then,  We  will  do the rest. These  simple  Calls  which  you  are sending  forth,  make 
everything  possible  for Us,  and  it is you  who  need  the 126 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Protection! It is your  Beloved  Humanity  which  needs  Pro-
tection. When  I have  noticed  among  the Earnest  Students 
such  a great  desire  to serve,  Oh Beloved  Ones,  if you  in 
the silence  of your  own  chamber,  will  make  these  Calls,  as 
I have  just explained,  how  Great  will  be your  Service  which 
you are rendering. Will  you  who  are visiting  here,  please 
carry  This  with  you  to the Students  in the  various  parts 
of America  and  the Group  Leaders  ? You might  think  We  are accumulating  a great  deal  for 
you to do. It does  not mean,  you  must  use all the things 
which  are before  you  each  day. Please  understand  this  Be-
loved  Students:  "As  you  advance  and  We  advance  in the 
Activity  which  is required,  and  We  offer  certain  Require-
ments  for you  to fulfill—do  not let yourselves  become  con-
fused  by something  which  is added." All is a stepping  up 
process,  as you  use  the  term  in electrical  parlance. It is 
the Light  ADVANCING,  going  forward  into  Greater 
Achievement  and  Freedom. Therefore,  We may  ask you  to 
do many  things  in the  future;  but  remember  when  you 
have  entered  the Steps  into  the Doorway  of Light,  you  do 
not pull  the Steps  in with  you. You  leave  the Steps  there,  for 
the others  who  are to follow  on. As you  are advancing  and 
more  is naturally  required  of you,  then  rejoice  in it. I say to the Group  Leaders  concerning  this:  Dear  Hearts, 
don't  let your  human  quibble  over  following  Directions. Joyously,  Happily  and  Willingly  just  do what  We Request! You don't  see and  know,  but We do; and  We ask nothing 
in the world  except  what  you  can do, and  that  which  We DISCOURSE  VIII  127 
know  is of the  Greatest  Service. You  could  not  in your 
limited  state  know;  but We can in Our  State! When  We  request  something,  It is for your  good! Just 
as yet remember,  Beloved  Ones,  you  are the Vanguard  of 
the Light! For  a little  time,  your  Responsibility  is Greater; 
because  thru  the Power  of your  Radiation  your  Call  is mak-
ing possible  the Wider  Expansion  of This  "I AM"  Activity. Thru  the Transcriptions  and  the Radio  Work,  which  We 
are opening,  you  will  find  the Open  Doorway  to the Ex-
pansion  of the Light  and  the reaching  of people  which  is 
necessary. It is imperative  that  These  Books  flood  forth  to 
mankind  as much  as possible;  for They  contain  and  hold 
the Explanation  and  the Application,  by which  every  hu-
man  Being  can set himself  or herself  Free. It is imperative 
the people  have  them  for Constant  Use;  because  the intel-
lect does  not retain  enough  from  just  hearing  the Instruc-
tion! I ask  all, please  do not keep  reaching  out for more  Ex-
planation. Take  That  which  is before  you  and  apply  It with 
DETERMINATION,  WITH  FIRMNESS! The  Explana-
tion is all there,  if you  really  understand  It! Don't  let your 
intellect  keep  reaching  out  for various  things;  and  guard 
your  human  self,  so it does  not  run  away  and  feel  itself 
wiser  than  We. Dear  Ones,  in the  Service  which  you  are rendering,  I 
say again  to you:  "The  Present  Students  of the 'I AM'  under 
Saint  Germain's  Radiation,  are the Vanguard  of the Light; 
and EACH  ONE  must  feel  the Courage  of his or her own 128 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
"I AM  Presence,"  strong  enough  to carry  This  Light;  until 
more  of humanity  can be brought  into  the Clearness  of This 
Understanding. Then,  they  will  share  the  responsibility 
with  you;  but today,  the outer  world  does  not understand 
how  to call forth  its Protection. Therefore,  the people  are as 
helpless  as infants"! I am telling  you  tonight,  unless  Individuals  understand 
their  own  God-Presence,  the "Mighty  I AM,"  they  can give 
but fragmentary  assistance. THEY  CANNOT  GIVE  THE 
SUSTAINED  ACTIVITY;  because  they  must  know  their 
Presence  is above  them,  from  which  they  can  call  Its 
Powers  into  action. Until  Individuals  understand  this,  they 
are constantly  wavering  like  the pendulum  of a clock  and 
soon  the Presence  is forgotten! No longer  will  people  waver,  but stand  in the Light  and 
draw  to themselves  their  own! Oh,  that  you  understood 
those  Simple  Words! Those  Words  are  the  Majesty  of 
Creation!—"Stand  in the  Light  and  draw  to yourselves 
your  own"! Shall  I put  it just  a little  more  definitely  to 
you ? From  the Octaves  of the Ascended  Masters  there  are 
being  lowered  into  the atmosphere  of Earth,  Certain  Ac-
tivities,  which  mean  Assistance  in Precipitation;  which 
mean  Assistance  in the Use  of the Light  Rays;  which  mean 
Assistance  in the Power  of Self-control  of the Individual! All This  is Assistance  independent  of your  Call! The  World 
is once  again  being  set Free,  altho  its mistakes  have  been 
great. The  Cosmic  Light  says  once  again:  "Mankind  is to 
be set Free  from  the sweat  of its brow,  for its livelihood; DISCOURSE  VIII  129 
and as the Light  intensifies  within  the Earth,  will  many  of 
you come  to understand  the import  of My Words  tonight"! We have  in the Etheric  Belt,  within  certain  parts  of the 
Earth,  discoveries  of which  We  have  known  for a long 
time;  and  to Those  in the Retreats  for more  than  one  hun-
dred  years,  which  will  give  your  America  Its Perfect  Free-
dom! The  labor  problem  which  has  caused  so much  un-
happiness  and  destruction,  how  quickly  We  could  solve  it. The people  have  been  wanting  shorter  hours. We  could 
show  you,  how  to produce  all you  require  in two  hours 
service  a day. Then  in the balance  of that  time,  you  could 
study  for your  own  Perfection. How  many  of you  can tell 
Me tonight,  if you  had  or were  required  to render  just  two 
hours  service  a day—would  you  actually  give  the remainder 
of the eight  hours,  to study  and  make  Application  for your 
Freedom? I leave  that  to you! Now  then  remember,  you  are entering  a New  Kingdom, 
the Kingdom  of Light—which  is Its Own  Supply  to the 
Children  of Earth! This  is not idle  talk! We  have  no time 
for such  things;  but  I am drawing  your  attention  tonight, 
to Certain  Things  for a Very  Definite  Purpose;  because  It 
not only  means  your  advancement,  but It means  the Assist-
ance  which  you  require. You,  in your  great  city  tonight,  are sitting  within  This 
Sanctuary  of Light,  as though  the  outer  world  did  not 
exist,  for these  two  hours  while  you  are here! It is the 
Rarest  Privilege  and  Activity  on Earth,  Beloved  Ones. You 
are in This  Charged  Sacred  Chamber  of Light,  very  much 130 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
as if you  were  in the  Cave  of Light  in India;  only  this 
building  is not charged  for centuries  with  the Light  where 
only  Perfection  exists,  as it is there. Yet,  We  are drawing 
and have  drawn  thruout  the classes,  These  Mighty  Light 
Rays  into  the  room,  which  are  fulfilling  a very  Similar 
Purpose  for you! That  is why,  as your  attention  is called 
from  one  point  to another,  the opening  is there  for Us, to 
fill your  world  with  whatever  you  desire. It is Light  and 
Happiness! I say again  tonight,  do not allow  one  single  feeling  to live 
in you  of criticism  or condemnation  of another;  even 
though  such  a one  might  have  made  mistakes. Pour  out 
Our Ascended  Master  Divine  Love! Raise  the Loved  One 
who  has  made  mistakes  into  the Arms  of Your  Presence 
and forget  all else! You  will  know  such  Happiness! Then, 
you will  have  done  Your  Part,  to fulfill  the Law  of Light 
and Love. So tonight,  Dear  Hearts,  remember—to  the degree  you 
pour  out the Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love  and  Blessings, 
will the Door  of your  world  open  wide,  into  Our  Eternal 
Light  which  releases  all Perfection  into  your  use;  for your 
Blessing  and  for  the  Purifying  and  Perfecting  of your 
bodies. Can you  actually  believe  My Words,  when  I say to you: 
"There  are three  hundred  seventy-five  people  in this  room, 
who  could,  if they  would  determine  to do It and  stand  by 
It, make  their  Ascension  in this  embodiment? That  is 
True"! DISCOURSE  VIII  131 
I am endeavoring  in Many  Ways  to hold  your  conscious-
ness into  Our  Mighty  Reality,  which  takes  from  you  all 
doubts,  all fears  and  the human  sense  of limitation. They 
do not belong  there! They  are not yours! It is all just an ac-
cretion,  and  when  you  call  your  Presence  into  action  to 
dissolve  all of it, and  replace  it by the acceptance  of all 
the Glories  there  are;  you  too,  will  feel  more  the Import 
of why  I am calling  your  attention  to these  things  tonight! There  are fifty  people  in this  room,  who  could  say to 
any destructive  force—STOP! and  it would  be compelled 
to stop! Remember—the  Light  of Your  Presence  which 
gives  you  Life,  can assert  the Activity  of the Sword  of Blue 
Flame! With  the number  of Individuals  whom  I have  men-
tioned,  It could  be called  into  action  thru  the Power  of Di-
vine Love  and  used  in Divine  Love. Tonight,  how  My  Heart  rejoices  in your  very  kind  at-
tention,  so much  is done. Beloved  Ones,  Great  is Our  Re-
joicing. Will  you  please  enter  into  This  Rejoicing  with  Us, 
in the Achievement  here? Remember,  as in the Activity 
with  the Children  in India,  so tonight,  you  are a Part  of My 
Love  and  Light! FEEL  IT as deeply  as you  can! Let Our 
Light  do Its Perfect  Work  in, and  thru  you,  and  out into 
your  world! I earnestly  ask you  no longer  to give  power  to 
appearances,  which  cannot  have  it, so far as your  world  is 
concerned;  unless  you  feed  your  Life  Stream  into  them  by 
your  attention. Remember,  that  is so important! Nothing  of a destruc-
tive nature  can touch  you  or your  world,  except  thru  your 155 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
attention,  you  feed  your  Life  into  it. Try  to feel This  Truth 
with  Great  Loving  Firmness. Then,  remind  yourselves  NO 
LONGER  shall  your  attention  be focused  upon  limiting, 
destructive  or disturbing  things;  or your  Life  be fed into 
them,  to add  to the world's  unhappiness. If you  have  a feeling  of unkindness  within  you  to some-
one else,  then  you  are by your  attention,  feeding  your  Life 
Stream  possibly  to harm  the other,  as well  as limit  yourself. Do you  see, Precious  Ones,  how  there  is always  a double  ac-
tivity  in discord  ? If you  feel  unkindly  to another,  you  are 
adding  to the burden  of that  Individual  and  limiting  your-
self. I am so grateful  you  understand  this  clearly  now,  and  will 
keep  yourselves  reminded,  when  the temptation  comes  to 
have  an unkind  or discordant  feeling,  simply  say:  "Oh  no, 
too long  this has been,  but no longer! I shall  stand  in Loving 
Kindness  to all and  in the Light  of my 'I AM  Presence'; 
so Its Great  Self-Luminous  Intelligent  Substance,  may  flood 
my world  and  produce  everything  I require/' 
In the Fulness  of My Love,  I enfold  you  and  that  of the 
Great  Host  of Ascended  Masters,  the Legion  of Light  and 
the Great  Cosmic  Beings;  who  are watching  you  so closely, 
trusting,  hoping,  you  will  assert  your  Dominion  of Self-
control;  so the World  may  be flooded  by your  Love,  the 
Radiance  of the Great  Presence  and  the Host  of Light,  to 
give the Service  needed  to set all mankind  Free. Remember,  We  are  never  separated! When  you  have 
called  to your  "I AM  Presence,"  call  to Beloved  Saint  Ger-DISCOURSE  VIII  133 
main,  Myself—any  one  of the  Ascended  Masters,  Sanat 
Kumara  or the Cosmic  Beings. Then  Assistance  will  come, 
but try earnestly  to receive  from  your  Presence  at your  Call, 
all you  require;  because  in It, you  gain  the Victory. We love  to assist,  but you  must  FIRST  try  every  means 
within  your  power,  to call your  own  "I AM  Presence"  into 
action. Then,  if you  cannot  quite  accomplish  it, We  shall 
supply  the  Courage,  Strength  and  Assistance  necessary; 
but do not longer  feel,  you  cannot  gain  the Victory  over 
anything. We  have  now  given  you  the Assistance! Try 
earnestly  every  way  you  know;  and  then,  if you  need  As-
sistance,  It shall  come  forth  to you. Please  remember  that! You know  your  Presence  and  Ours  are not limited  in 
any manner  whatsoever! Just  feel This  which  fills  you  with 
Our Joy and  Courage  of the Infinite  Power  of Light! Feel 
It ever-expanding  within  you;  unto  the Glory  of your  Vic-
tory—then  your  Ascension;  Free  forever  in the Octave  of 
Light  with  Us. One  day,  We shall  have  many  Happy  Visits 
over the Experiences  of today. I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XI 
August  ii, 1937 
SEATTLE,  WASHINGTON 
Out of the  Glory  of the  Light  which  is within  your 
Hearts,  I shall  endeavor  tonight,  to call  forth  into  action 
in your  world,  something  of the Powers  of Our  Light  of 
which  you  have  not yet become  aware. In the Authority  which  I wield,  so far as time  and  space 
are concerned,  and  in the Service  which  I have  been  able 
to render,  I am watching  the opportunity  more  and  more 
each  day,  to render  Still  Further  Service  to the students. Thru  the  Great  Cosmic  Law,  which  made  it possible  to 
consume  one-third  of all human  accumulation  of the past— 
still I am not satisfied! I think  there  is still more  which  can 
be done! To every  one of you  Beloved  Children  of the Light,  who 
is making  such  earnest  sincere  effort,  who  of you  shall  say 
to Me,  what  I may  do for you! I say this  even  to former 
students—will  you  tonight  as never  before,  feel the Reality 
of Your  Freedom;  the Power  of your  Presence  surging  in 
and thru  you,  while  I am talking  to you  ? Try  to feel  that 
Flood  of Light,  flow  in, thru,  and  around  your  body;  and 
into your  world,  just like  water  pouring  thru  your  body. It is so very  wonderful,  once  you  can  begin  to feel  the 
Tangibility  of Those  Great  Currents;  because  as you  be-
*34 DISCOURSE  VIII  135 
come  accustomed  to It, you  can feel  It flow  thru  your  body; 
just as though  water  were  running  over  your  body;  or 
something  running  thru  the flesh  of your  body. The  Vibra-
tory Action,  which  the Currents  of Energy  from  your  Pres-
ence  produce,  goes  thru  your  flesh,  quite  as readily  as the 
blood  flows  thru  your  veins! This  is how  today  in the 
Service  We are endeavoring  to give,  Our  Vibratory  Action 
will so hasten  your  Victory. It is why  We are taking  advan-
tage of these  opportunities  in visiting  the Groups;  or as the 
Messengers  visit  your  Groups,  We give  This  Service. Do any  of you  think  for one  moment,  Our  Words  are 
idle talk? I trust  not! It is a Mighty  Real  Thing,  Dear 
Hearts! You  may  not  quite  realize  It yet;  but  We,  the 
Ascended  Beings,  are the Reality! You—yet  in the limited 
state,  are the unreality;  because  only  in unreality  does  im-
perfection  exist! After  all, what  produces  limitation  and  imperfection  of 
any kind? Certainly  not  your  "I AM  Presence"! Then, 
what  does  produce  it? Your  qualification  acting  within 
your  feeling  world,  Dear  Hearts! It is the only  thing  in 
the world  which  stands  between  you  and  the Perfection 
which  We  have. Think  of it! Think  of it, Beloved  Ones! Just your  power  of qualification,  acting  within  your  feeling 
world,  is all that  stands  between  you  and  the Great  Per-
fection  and  Freedom  which  We  have! It is not difficult. You  today,  can be in Our  Same  Position; 
and stand  beside  Us in such  a short  time;  in comparison 
with  the  long  period  in which  you  have  been  drawing 136 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
yourselves  into  these  limitations. Think  of the  Mercy  of 
the Great  Law,  Dear  Hearts,  that  has provided  the Means 
by which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Under-
standing,  so magnificently  to your  attention;  for you  have 
been  centuries,  hundreds  of centuries,  bringing  yourselves 
into this  present  limitation! Yet,  it is absolutely  True,  in a 
few months  at most,  you  can—by  calling  your  Presence 
into action,  to use the Violet  Consuming  Flame,  free  your-
self completely  from  every  discordant  and  undesirable  ac-
cumulation  of the centuries. The proof  stands  before  you,  and  I am going  to give  the 
Messenger  a Surprise  tonight. He  wondered  why  the 
change  took  place  in the  mode  of His  receiving  These 
Dictations  on his return  from  Honolulu. That  was  because 
the last vestige  of his own  human  accumulation,  had  been 
consumed. Remember,  please  Dear  Ones  tonight,  as the Momentum 
is gained  by the Application  of the Students,  you  are not 
just in Seattle;  you  are one  with  all the Sincere  Students— 
in the  mental  and  feeling  world  thruout  America! Will 
you please  try and  remember,  in your  Application  when 
you are earnest,  sincere  and  determined,  you  are then  acting 
within  the stratum  or octave  of every  other  "I AM"  Student 
in America! That  is why  These  Decrees  are so powerful  to 
set you  Free;  because  you  are having  the combined  efforts 
of all for the same  purpose. In rendering  the Service  to America  and  your  fellowmen, 
I may  not yet say to you,  just  how  much  you  amplify  and DISCOURSE  VIII  137 
intensify  your  own  Call,  for your  own  Individual  Freedom; 
but remember,  a Service  of that  kind  may  do for you,  what 
no single  human  effort  would  do; because  when  you  Joy-
ously  and  Willingly  give  Service  to America  and  your  fel-
lowman,  you  have  entered  into  a Vast  Stream  of Perfection, 
Activity  and  Power! As you  come  to realize  this,  you  will  see every  single 
effort  you  make,  toward  your  Freedom  and  Perfection—in 
the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence,  becomes  a Power-
ful Thing  in your  Life,  There  is no limit  to what  can  be 
done  for you! That  is why  I have  made  some  seemingly, 
almost  drastic  Statements  recently;  because  I want  you,  if 
you will,  to awaken  to the Reality  that  your  Presence  is 
All-powerful. Its Light  knows  no resistance  nor  interfer-
ence,  when  you  call  It into  action;  and  to the degree  you 
can feel  It, will  you  have  a Speed  and  Activity,  not only  in 
the perfecting  of the atomic  structure  of your  body,  but in 
the Expansion  of your  Light. In the activity  of your  world,  there  is no limit! Try  to 
feel it as never  before! I want  to say to some  of the Blessed 
Ones  here  in Seattle  who  have  felt considerable  struggle: 
please  do not let your  human  self  govern  you  longer,  in 
This  Understanding  of your  "I AM  Presence." Try  to re-
lease  It! I will  help  you! Place  everything  in the Hands  of 
your  Presence! Your  Presence  is your  Treasure-house! Its 
Wisdom  governs  everything  concerning  the Release  of the 
money  or what  else  you  require  for use. It is the Authority! It is the Certain  Release,  and  if channels  be used,  Dear 138 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Ones,  then  the Wisdom  of your  Presence  will  select  those 
channels! It will  bring  you  in touch  with  whatever  is re-
quired,  if you  really  put  things  in the Hands  of the Pres-
ence;  to release  all you  require  for use. It cannot  fail. Don't  let your  human  make  you  waver  or longer  feel, 
because  of the appearance  world,  you  still  exist  in the same 
state,  you  were  in yesterday. Not  one  of you  Beloved  Stu-
dents  in Seattle,  is the same  as you  were  yesterday. Why  ? Because  We  are doing  a Tremendous  Work  in your  city; 
and you  will  see the result  of It later! For  everyone  who  is 
earnest  and  sincere,  We are releasing  into  his or her world 
of activity,  a Power  from  which  those  Blessed  Ones  will 
see the Results. No matter  how  great  the stress  may  seem,  even  tonight, 
still say to that  appearance:  "You  have  no power! There  is 
only  One  Power  which  is governing  my world  and  bring-
ing the Release  of what  I require  into  my use right  now"! When  you  take  that  positive  firm  attitude,  there  is no 
human  vibratory  action  in the outer  world  in which  you 
move,  that  can touch  or delay  the Release  of this  which  you 
require. For anyone  who  wants  a position  say:  "Beloved  'Mighty 
I AM  Presence'  take  command  of my  mind  and  body! Place  me in Your  position,  where  You  wish  me to be; and 
cause  me to feel  and  know  that  no human  Being  nor  crea-
tion has any  power  to prevent  it. Therefore,  take  me Be-
loved  'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  into  My Own  Right  Activity 
—My  Own  Right  Service  and  do it right  now"! If you  will DISCOURSE  VIII  139 
take the Firm  Determined  Attitude  and  know  your  Pres-
ence  is the Governing  Power  of your  world;  and  of all else 
where  It wishes  to place  you,  your  Victory  will  come! Do 
you see no one  can  be deprived  of the Service  he or she 
requires;  or the money  which  such  Individuals  require  for 
their  comfort,  shelter  and  clothing? Oh for that  time,  which  once  before  existed  in your  Be-
loved  America,  when  everything  came  forth  from  the 
Octave  above,  precipitated  into  the use of mankind;  cloth-
ing, food  and  everything  which  was  required. Does  it seem 
far off today? Not  nearly  so far, as you  might  think! Remember,  the Great  Cosmic  Light  of which  the Mes-
sengers  speak  so often,  is the Mightiest  Power  in the Uni-
verse! That  Cosmic  Light  as It comes  more  and  more  into 
the Governing  Activity  of the Earth,  just  like  the Light 
from  your  "I AM  Presence"—knows  no obstruction;  knows 
no interference;  and  the  Cosmic  Light  is steadily  and 
surely  flooding  into  the Earth  everywhere! It is why  I men-
tion these  things  for  your  encouragement,  Dear  Ones. FEEL  IT! OH  FEEL  IT! as never  before! If you  knew,  what  your  feeling  could  do, you  would  be 
Free  within  a few  hours. Your  feeling  world  is the govern-
ing activity;  and  when  you  are still enough,  your  Call  to the 
Presence  begins  to release  Its Mighty  Energy,  flowing  forth 
like a Mighty  River  into  your  world—carrying  with  It, 
every  good  thing  which  you  desire  for use. There  could  be 
no failure  to a Mighty  Activity  of this  kind! As you  are listening  to These  Words,  I am charging  into 163 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
your  feeling  world  Our  Conviction! I am sure  every  one 
of you  will  feel  It definitely  active  in your  world;  to give 
you Courage,  Confidence  and  Strength;  because  It all must 
come  from  your  Presence. The  human  does  not have  the 
Courage,  Power  and  Strength  which  sustains  Individuals 
thru  all conditions;  but the Presence  does. It will  release  It 
into your  use,  and  does  do it, as is being  proven  in hundreds 
of thousands  of cases. Won't  you  take  the attitude,  tonight  and  henceforth,  as 
the Messenger  has so often  urged  the students  to do; when 
anything  shows  an appearance  in your  world  of activity 
which  is distressing  or limiting—in  the  first  thought  you 
have  and  the first  feeling  which  operates,  before  anything 
else has a chance,  just say:  "No  you  don't  have  any power"! or use the word  STOP! As you  utter  That  Word,  the Power 
from  your  Presence  goes  forth  and  holds  it, as it were,  from 
your  world. Then  say:  "'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  Take 
charge  here! Project  Your  Mighty  Presence  and  Energy 
into this  condition! Bring  Perfection  and  Divine  Justice 
out of it"! If you  will  do this,  you  will  find  no difficulty 
in releasing  the Power  of the Presence  into  action  in your 
world,  to perform  any  given  service  which  you  require! So far as your  health  is concerned,  Dear  Ones,  don't  let 
your  human  make  you  feel,  you  must  yield  longer  to the 
appearance  of distress  or ill health. It has no power! What 
produces  pain,  distress  and  ill health  in the body  ? Discord 
in the feeling  and  the belief  of the mass  of mankind,  they 
are subject  to such  a condition,  which  they  really  are not! DISCOURSE  VIII  141 
This  is where  you  students  of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence," 
can be a Magnificent  Example  to the rest  of mankind. So 
many  of the Beloved  Students,  are the Standing,  Living 
Wondrous  Proof  of Health  established  in the body! It is 
magnificent! Now  let Us for a moment,  step  forth  and  see what  We 
may  do in This  Magnificent  Service  to be rendered  for Our 
Beloved  America  today! Don't  question  Its great  need! If 
you saw  as We do, the need,  you  would  give  your  utmost 
to make  your  Call  to the "I AM  Presence"  with  such  De-
termination,  that  all required  would  be released  into  action! into the  mental  and  feeling  world  of mankind  and  the 
Earth;  for America's  Protection  and  the Blessing  of man-
kind. On the other  hand,  for your  encouragement,  I want  to 
say, since  the Messengers  came  to San  Francisco,  A Service 
has been  rendered  which  would  to the human,  seem  abso-
lutely  incredible  in every  way. Not  only  in America,  but in 
Europe,  the great  accumulated  war  entity,  is rapidly  being 
dissolved  over  Europe. I tell  you,  Beloved  Ones,  after  so 
many  centuries  of the lethargy  of mankind,  it is wonderful 
to see the Awakening,  sufficiently  within  three  short  years, 
less than  three  years! The  people  are beginning  to call with 
such  earnestness;  and  release  these  things  from  the Presence 
today. Beloved  Ones,  it is Unparalleled  in the History  of 
Earth! These  things  which  are invisible  to you,  are as Tangible 
to Us as your  physical  bodies  are. Therefore,  We  do not 142 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
say these  things  just  for your  encouragement. We  do it to 
give you  Strength  and  Power  to go on, and  on, and  on, in 
This  Mighty  Call  which  is doing  so much  more,  than  any 
one could  imagine. Again,  I say to you:  DON'T  give  Power  nor attention  to 
the appearance  world! When  only  such  a short  time  ago, 
I was  able  to render  the Service  for Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and 
Pearl  and  those  who  were  there;  and  then  I see the Service 
which  those  Children  render  today,  it is Marvelous. Their 
Service  is again  to be in America. They  are standing  guard 
and watching  over. Today,  a frightfully  destructive  activity 
was about  to find  expression,  when  they  caused  it to fail 
utterly! Those  Blessed  Children  are working  every  hour, 
for They  do not require  rest. Because  of the  Wonderful 
Service  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has given  Them,  They  are 
rendering  an Amazing  Service  for Him  today. Oh, that  you 
could  understand  and  feel  This  Reality! I know  you  do to 
some  extent,  but  could  you  feel  Really  Saint  Germain's 
Love  and  Gratitude  to you  Loyal  Blessed  Ones,  who  are 
calling  forth  so earnestly  His  Great  Release,  you  would  see 
how  VERY  WONDERFUL  it is. In this  Class,  those  Blessed  Children  will  render  a Mag-
nificent  Service  again! How  They  long  to stir up the young 
people  in America,  to the Acknowledgment  of the "Mighty 
I AM  Presence"! Oh,  in great  numbers,  so they  can render 
a Service  and  Assistance,  which  They  are so powerfully  able 
and capable  of doing. It will  be done! There  is no question 
about  it! As the Children  have  been  moving  among  the DISCOURSE  VIII  143 
young  people  in the colleges  and  Universities;  it is very 
wonderful  what  They  are achieving;  what  They  are ac-
complishing. You know  how  magnificent  our young  people  are today! They  are  the  beginning  of the  Incoming  Perfection  of 
physical  form,  for most  of the young  people  today  have 
magnificent  bodies. Do everything  you  can to keep  those 
bodies  Perfect  and  Wonderful  as they  are now;  because 
they become  a Mighty  Power,  as the Out-picturing  of the 
Presence  intensifies,  for that  Service  which  needs  to be ren-
dered. Tonight,  in the Magnificent  Vibratory  action  which  is 
in the room,  I long  to lift you up and away  into  Our  Octave; 
where  you  might  see and  know  all the Perfection  which 
exists;  all that  is before  you,  one  day  you  will  \now  and 
share. Be so firm  and  determined,  Beloved  Ones,  in your 
Call to the Presence. Don't  just  look  for Results;  but go on, 
and on, in your  Call,  as though  you  had  everything  in the 
world  which  you  needed;  and  just loved  your  Presence  and 
loved  to call It into  action. Such  is the need  of the outer  self 
which  wins  the Mighty  Victory. Suppose  your  outer  need  is great! So long  as your  atten-
tion is on it, how  can it be dissolved  ? That  is what  is the 
matter,  your  attention  has been  too much  on the condition, 
instead  of the Presence  which  dissolves  it. As you  become 
aware  of this  just as if you  broke  the chains,  say:  " 'Mighty 
I AM  Presence'! I am not going  to get in the way  any more! Everything  is in Your  Hands! Take  command  of my mind 167 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
and body  and  of my world." If it is one whom  you  want  to 
help,  say:  "'Mighty  I AM  Presence!' Take  command  of 
that mind  and  body  and  his or her world! Produce  Your 
Perfection  and  hold  Your  Dominion! Sweep  Your  Mighty 
Currents  in and  thru  the body;  and  out into  the world  of 
the Individual;  see that  one  does  the Right  and  Perfect 
thing,  for his or her Success  and  Accomplishment." Don't  yield  to appearances,  Beloved  Ones! They  have  no 
power,  except  what  you  give  them;  and  as you  come  to 
realize  and  feel  the Fulness  of the Authority  and  Power 
which  is yours;  you  will  find  not a single  thing  stands  in 
your  way;  not a single  delay  will  come  in your  application, 
for the Results  which  you  require. If it is some  emergency, 
then  the Greater  Release  of the Power  will  go into  action, 
to fulfill  the Requirement  of the emergency. Do you  know  with  the Presence  there  are no emergen-
cies;  because  your  Higher  Mental  Body  knows  far ahead; 
and as you  become  still  and  call  to the Presence,  you  will 
come  to know  these  things  ahead;  just  the same  as your 
Higher  Mental  Body  does. It is not that  you  cannot  know 
them;  but because  of the density  of the vibratory  action  of 
the structure  of your  brain  and  body;  they  do not record 
the finer  vibrations,  which  would  reveal  to you these  things, 
you would  so often  like  to know. This  is the practical  man-
ner of governing  your  world,  and  that  is what  Attainment 
means! It is what  being  still  in the outer  means. Your  human  vibratory  action  must  be still,  if you  want 
to have  clear  definite  results,  in your  call  to the Presence. DISCOURSE  VIII  145 
Suppose  you  needed  Additional  Understanding,  Knowl-
edge  or Directing  Intelligence  for a given  objective. Your 
Presence  and  your  Higher  Mental  Body  already  know  what 
it is you  require;  and  if your  outer  were  still  enough  and 
your  brain  structure  vibrating  rapidly  enough;  you  would 
know  clearly,  definitely  and  instantly,  everything  you  re-
quire;  not only  today,  but days  and  weeks  ahead. This  comes  to the important  point,  Beloved  Ones—where 
the need  of mankind  is, sufficient  obedience  to the Law  of 
your  Life. It brings  about  the Freedom  and  Attunement  of 
your  brain  structure;  wherein,  you  can  receive  from  your 
Higher  Mental  Body,  the Clear  Definite  Direction! Some-
times,  the Beloved  Students  jump  at conclusions,  and  when 
it is still  their  own  human  desire  acting,  they  feel  it is the 
Presence. Then,  they  find  they  have  made  mistakes;  but in 
such  instances,  they  should  not be discouraged. So many  times  Students  have  felt they  were  in connection 
with  Saint  Germain  and  really  were  not! I urge  you  to be 
very  discriminating. Don't  be in a hurry,  in your  Call  to 
the Presence. When  you  begin  to receive  Definite  Powerful 
Direction,  you  will  know  It clearly  and  surely;  but  don't 
jump  at any conclusion! Wait  until  you  are sure. If Beloved 
Saint  Germain  communicates  with  you,  there  will  be no 
uncertainty  about  it, be sure  of that! Don't  accept  someone's 
communication  claiming  to be Saint  Germain. Be sure  it is 
Him. We have  had  many  instances  to correct  in that  respect. So be careful! It is not going  to delay  your  Freedom,  to 146 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
wait  and  demand  to know  unmistakably. Not  at all, and 
may  hasten  it tremendously! One  blessed  lady,  when  the 
Messengers  were  in Portland,  believed  as firmly  as she lived, 
that she  had  been  receiving  communications  from  Saint 
Germain. The  Messenger  knew  instantly  she had  not. He 
waited  for the time  to try and  explain;  but it did not arrive 
while  the  Class  was  on there. Afterwards,  a letter  came 
from  this  blessed  one. The  Messenger  had  made  the call to 
Beloved  Saint  Germain  to go and  show  her  the  Truth. Simultaneously,  she  was  impelled  to make  the Call. The 
time  had  arrived  for the Communication,  and  with  very 
great  firmness,  she said:  "Now  if this  communication  is not 
from  Saint  Germain,  see it does  not occur,"  and  it did not 
occur! Then,  she knew  the Truth  of the Words  the Mes-
senger  had  said  to her. It was  not Saint  Germain  commu-
nicating  with  her;  and  the blessed  one  was  set Free  then 
and there. It was  a Magnificent  Thing. She  was  a most 
earnest  person,  who  believed  absolutely  she was  right;  yet 
the Messenger  knew  instantly,  she was  being  deceived.

        That  is why  never  in the history  of 
all embodiments,  have  you  had  the Privilege  which  stands 
before  you  tonight. In This  Service  which  is rendered  while 
I am talking  to you,  the Substance  will  remain  untouched 
by any  human  qualification. To the degree  you  can accept 
This,  will  you  find  the disturbing  things  of your  outer  life 
and the limiting  things,  rapidly  dissolving  before  you. Do not  misunderstand  Me. This  is not  just  so many 
words,  but  Mighty  Qualities  which  the  Words  are  de-
scribing  to you. They  are acting  within  your  Inner  World. What  a Wonderful  Thing  it is, to become  acquainted  some-
what  with  your  Inner  World. So long,  you  have  thought 
that which  you  see out here,  is all there  was  to Life. It is 
really  just  the shell  of the Great  Inner  Light  and  Activity. Yet, mankind  has thought,  the human  form  was  all there 
was. Today,  behold  your  Reality. Behold  the  God  Presence 
which  gives  you  Life;  which  has come  to be known  as the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  whose  very  Words  give  Life  and 
withdraw  It. When  mankind  becomes  filled  with  too much 
inharmony,  then  Life  withdraws;  and  you  are sent  forth, 
to again  return,  build  another  form  and  try it again. Today 
that shall  cease. To every  one  who  will  make  earnest,  sin-
cere,  honest  effort,  if not in this  embodiment,  then  in the 
next,  will  the pilgrimage  upon  Earth  cease. Only  as you  call  to your  Presence  and  eventually  make DISCOURSE  VIII  109 
your  Ascension,  can  you  be Free  from  the wheel  of birth 
and rebirth  and  the limitations  of Earth. Only  when  you, 
in the Call  of your  Presence,  allow  It to dissolve  and  con-
sume  your  human  creations;  and  to the degree  that  the 
Earth  loses  its attraction  for the denser  human  form,  will 
you know  what  Freedom  means. Today  the Law  is given. The  Application  is given. The 
Scepter  of Power  is placed  within  your  hands,  in the 
Acknowledgment  of your  Presence. You  can  wield  It to 
Perfection  or fail to use It and  remain  in limitations. You 
are not  children  of Earth  longer,  even  though  you  still 
dwell  here. When  your  Light  expands  within  your  Heart 
as It is today,  then  I can truly  and  honestly  say to you,  you 
are no longer  children  of Earth. Will  you  accept  It in Great 
Calm  Gratitude. Feel  It a Sacred  Obligation  and  Under-
standing. Do not  exploit  It in the  outer  world,  but  feel 
with  such  Great  Deep  Gratitude,  the remainder  of the Ac-
tivity  for your  Freedom,  can quickly  come  into  action. My Work  is always  with  the One  Goal—the  Ascension. It seems  strange  to the Western  world,  and  yet why  should 
it. Thousands  and  hundreds  of thousands  of people  have 
preached  the Gospel  of Jesus  Christ. Jesus  the Christ  left 
the Example  of the Ascension  to mankind;  and  the Etheric 
Record  which  STANDS  VIBRANT  in the Etheric  Realm 
of the Earth,  is always  beckoning  mankind  on, and  on, and 
on; until  one  day  all mankind  will  understand  His  Words 
given  so long  ago. Why  does  not mankind  understand. Because  the Activ-133 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
ity of the feeling  world  was  forgotten. It is your  feeling 
world  which  MUST  BE GOVERNED  to gain  the Victory. I am sure  your  Gratitude  to Beloved  Saint  Germain  is Eter-
nal, for having  brought  forth  This  Marvelous  Explanation; 
for you  have  all required  to give  you  your  Freedom  and 
Victory. Remember,  Beloved  Ones,  your  Determined  and 
Firm  Application  is IMPERATIVE. All Assistance  which 
you require,  in your  call  to the Presence,  IF YOUR  MO-
TIVE  IS RIGHT,  HONEST  AND  SINCERE,  WILL  BE 
GIVEN  BY  THE  HOST  OF  ASCENDED  MASTERS. Never  lose  the memory  of the fact,  that  your  Application 
is the Activity  by which  your  Freedom  comes. You  cannot 
say: "I am too tired  tonight,  to adore  my Presence. I have 
been  too busy  today,  to give  attention  to my Presence"— 
when  your  Freedom  depends  upon  your  Presence. As the 
Messenger  has said  to you,  Beloved  Ones,  it does  not mean 
that you  should  sit down  in the  corner  and  adore  your 
Presence;  but  every  moment  in your  daily  activity,  when 
your  mind  is not otherwise  occupied,  you  can in a flash-
send  your  adoration  to your  Presence. Feel  the Release  of 
Its Mighty  Currents  of Energy  in and  thru  your  body, 
which  will  keep  you  from  being  tired. That  will  give  you 
Happiness  in your  service  among  mankind;  and  if called 
firmly  into  action,  will  provide  every  condition  for your 
Happiness,  Supply  and  Comfort. So don't  ever  say,  you 
have  not time  to adore  your  Presence. Without  your  attention  to your  Presence,  you  will  re-
main  embodiment  after  embodiment  in the conditions  in DISCOURSE  IX hi 
which  you  find  yourselves  today  or were  in a year  ago. Mankind  drew  itself  into  limitations,  by its own  misuse  of 
the Free  will. It was  entirely  of the people's  own  volition, 
and now  they  must  rise out of it by their  Earnest  Call  to the 
Presence. They  must  keep  it up until  that  Victory,  be it 
days,  hours,  weeks,  months  or years,  is accomplished. One who  will  stand  in and  by his or her  own  "I AM 
Presence,"  calling  It into  action,  will  have  the  Victory. Of that  there  is no question,  and  in This  Assistance  which 
is being  given,  could  you  but  understand  the  Fulness  of 
It, your  Gratitude,  your  Love  which  has  been  so great  to 
Beloved  Saint  Germain  and  the Messengers,  would  increase 
an hundred  fold. You are living  in a Mighty  Reality. The  Laws  of Life 
are acting  with  great  speed  within  and  around  you. Do 
you understand,  Beloved  Ones,  whether  you  are awake  or 
asleep,  This  Action  of the Great  Law  is constantly  going 
on within  and  around  you. You  for the  time  have  for-
gotten  It, in the  attraction  of the  outer  world. Yet  the 
Inner  Action  is going  on, directed  by your  Higher  Mental 
Body. When  your  Call  is sincere  and  firm,  then  will  your 
Higher  Mental  Body  release  more  and  more  of Its Mighty 
Energy,  which  dissolves  and  consumes  all unlike  Itself. Do not give  way  to forgetfulness. Remember,  you  have 
entered  the Race  for Life. Listen,  Beloved  Ones. You  have 
entered  the Race  for Life;  for without  your  Victory,  you 
will remain  in the shadows  of human  discord  and  destruc-
tion. 135 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
You,  in the  outer  world  today,  still  by slight  provoca-
tion and  by the unfortunate  human  law,  which  mankind 
does  not understand,  place  each  other  behind  prison  bars. Your  prison  of your  own  creation  is the greatest  one  of all. You,  Dear  Ones,  in the limitations  which  have  been  yours 
in the past  for so long,  have  felt  if you  could  only  burst 
those  bonds  which  seemed  to bind  you,  how  you  would  go 
forth  into  Freedom. That  Feeling  was  Real. There  are 
thousands  of people  who  have  had  that  experience. They 
have  felt,  if they  could  only  burst  the  something  which 
seemed  to hold  and  bind  them,  they  could  do much  Greater 
Things. It was  their  own  creation  which  they  felt binding 
them. It was  only  a pressure  of energy. It was  only  certain 
rates  of vibration  in the feeling. It was  only  whirls  of en-
ergy  in their  emotional  bodies. Today,  you  have  the Means  of setting  yourself  Free. Will 
you apply  It, Beloved  Ones,  and  let Us help  you  quickly  to 
your  Freedom. It is so near. We  are  doing  all the Law 
permits  and  in many  instances,  setting  aside  much  of the 
action  of the Law. Otherwise  you,  yourselves  would  be com-
pelled  to correct  wrong  conditions. You  must  give  the As-
sistance,  so more  may  enter  into  Greater  Freedom,  to give 
the Service  needed  at this  time. Surely  you  understand  do 
you not. In this,  shall  we call  it—Special  Service  which  is 
being  rendered,  it is to provide  those  to operate  the Law 
stronger  and  stronger;  in order  to give  the  needed  As-
sistance  for the Freedom  which  must  come  forth,  because 
the Call  must  come  from  you. DISCOURSE  VIII  113 
We are  ready  and  have  been  waiting  long. Your  part 
now,  is to make  the Call  with  Great  Earnestness  and  Sin-
cerity,  maintaining  Harmony  in the feeling  in the face  of 
any condition,  no matter  what,  then  the Release  will  come 
quickly. There  are many  in this  room  tonight. I shall  make  it 
quite  definite. There  are more  than  three  hundred  people 
in this  auditorium  tonight,  who  could  have  their  Freedom 
very quickly,  if they  would  be firm  and  calm  in their  Call 
to the Presence;  and  command  Complete  Harmony  in their 
feeling  to be maintained. It is not difficult,  Beloved  Ones. It is only  because  there  is not yet quite  sufficient  determina-
tion within  you;  to take  command  and  hold  control  over 
your  human  self. THAT  REQUIRES  FIRMNESS  AND 
UNYIELDING  DETERMINATION. Beloved  Ones,  when  you  are a little  angered  and  you 
determine  to have  a thing,  or do a thing,  you  exert  abun-
dance  of energy,  do you  not. Well,  isn't  this  much  more 
important—your  Complete  Freedom. You  do not  have 
to release  the Full  Power  of Energy  which  you  release  in 
the tremendous  flash  of anger. All  Energy  which  is re-
leased  in your  Achievement,  must  be a Steady  Out-pouring 
—not  intermittent. By intermittent  activity,  you  lose  much 
of what  you  gain;  but  when  you  with  firm  determination 
call your  "I AM  Presence"  into  action;  take  firm  command 
of your  human  self  and  compel  it to be obedient;  you  are 
balancing  the Power  of the Presence  which  is called  forth 
into the physical  octave. It is what  is required  for your  quick 137 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Victory. As you  do it, and  I will  help,  you  will  find  ere long, 
that which  seemed  so much  obstruction,  so limiting  in the 
outer  world,  will  have  lost its power. I trust  I shall  find  you,  when  the  Messengers  return  at 
Christmas  time,  the  Most  Marvelous  Wondrous  Free  Be-
ings. Won't  you  accept  This  and  let Its Perfect  Activity 
take  place  in your  world. You  can  do it. It is for you. Al-
low no thing  in the outer  world  to interrupt  it. Do not discuss  This  or say to each  other:  "I wonder  after 
all, if that  was  just  talk". I urge  you,  to be careful. This 
is a Mighty  Law  set into  action. Please  be obedient  and  do 
not discuss  this  night  with  each  other,  if you  want  to be 
Free. Go with  all the Gratitude  and  Sacredness  of this  night 
in Adoration  to your  Presence. Look  not  to the right  nor 
left. Listen  not to anyone  who  would  say anything  discour-
aging  to the Sacredness  of This  Night. I understand  you  do not yet comprehend  the Fulness  of 
This;  but  it is not necessary  to comprehend  it, all this  mo-
ment. If you  could  I would  say  to you:  "Be  Free. Arise. and It would  be done;  but  your  Requirements  must  be 
taken  into  consideration. To the  degree  you  will  do this, 
will you  find  yourself—a  changed  Being;  and  your  world, 
a New  World,  which  yesterday  you  could  not have  believed 
could  take  place  by tomorrow. Now  This  is a Service  being 
rendered. Will  you  accept  It as a Sacred  Blessing  to you. I thank  you,  Blessed  Ones  from  the  various  cities,  for 
making  the Call  to Me,  to enable  the Service  to be rendered 
in the removing  of discarnate  entities  from  your  environ-DISCOURSE  VIII  115 
ment,  yourselves  and  your  cities. I say to you  tonight,  Be-
loved  Ones  and  you  who  may  not be so familiar  with  This 
Activity:  "The  Greatest  Blessing  on the face  of the Earth 
today,  is in This  Service  of removing  from  the atmosphere 
of Earth,  the Individuals  who  have  passed  from  their  bodies, 
which  we call—discarnate  entities. " There  are in your  Earth's  atmosphere,  hundreds  of thou-
sands  of Individuals  who  cannot  leave  the Earth  of their 
own  volition;  because  of the conditions,  they  created  be-
fore passing  on. Today,  the  Great  Cosmic  Law  has  said 
this condition  must  be given  a Dispensation. Therefore, 
as Authority  of This  Law,  I have  set It into  action. Those 
who  could  not have  removed  themselves  from  the darkness 
of their  own  creations  in the astral  or psychic  world,  which 
is a part  of your  Earth,  are being  released  and  removed  by 
the hundreds  of thousands. It is a Service  never  rendered 
on the face  of this  Earth  before;  and  the Release  of their 
pressure  of discord  in the atmosphere  of your  cities,  is the 
Evidence  that  it is actually  being  done. * 
# On December  2, 1939,  during  the Class  in Washington,  D. C. , the last of the 
remaining  discarnate  entities  in the United  States  of America  were  taken  away. The Circle  of Blue  Flame  drawn,  so no more  would  be allowed  to enter  and 
now as soon  as Individuals  pass  out of the body,  they  are taken  out of the atmo-
sphere  of Earth  immediately. At the same  time,  the astral  or psychic  plane  was  also  consumed;  for that 
was the accumulation  of destructively  qualified  substance,  thought  and  feeling 
forms,  which  had  been  held  here  for centuries. This  Transcendent  Service  to Our  Blessed  Country  was  accomplished  by That 
Glorious  Being,  the Goddess  of Light,  Our  Beloved  Saint  Germain  and  Others 
°f the Ascended  Masters  who  assisted. Our  gratitude  to Them  is boundless  and 
Eternal  for That  Transcendent  Service. 139 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
We say to your  doubting  Thomases,  We  are not in the 
slightest  concerned. If you  wish  to doubt,  doubt  and  you 
will be the loser. If you  will  accept  the Truth  of This  Law, 
I have  told  you,  you  will  be the Beneficiary  in the Greatest 
Manner  Possible. We  are not concerned  about  those  who 
doubt,  but  to all Earnest  Students  of America,  We  say: 
"Arise  with  the Scepter  of your  Dominion  and  all this  con-
dition  in America  which  has endeavored  to bring  Her  into 
destruction,  shall  dissolve  from  within  her borders". Do you  think  We  forget  the rest  of the World  in This 
Service  to America,  when  there  is no race  nor nation  to Us. Then  why  do We urge  you,  to call and  give  This  Service  to 
America. Because  America  is the "Cup  of Light"  to the 
Earth. The  Law,  the Great  Cosmic  Law  compels  It to be 
so. It is not anyone's  particular  desire;  but because  it is so, 
We must  first  render  This  Service  and  Assistance  to Amer-
ica, then  This  Light  expands  and  the rest  of the  World 
may  be Free. Think  of it, Beloved  Ones. In the Far East,  there  was  the 
Great  Shamballa,  where  the  Great  Masters  from  Venus, 
Lords  of the Flame  from  Venus,  came  and  established  the 
City of White. It remained  there  for centuries  upon  an 
island,  They  created  for It and  poured  forth  Their  Radi-
ance  to mankind. Thru  much  of the  East  there  was  the 
worship  and  use of the Unfed  Flame,  where  people  came 
and took  Fire  from  the  Unfed  Flame  into  their  homes. That  touch  of the Unfed  Flame  lasted  thruout  the year. In your  use of This  Great  Call  today,  who  of you  shall DISCOURSE  VIII  117 
say how  soon—in  your  Honest  Deep  Sincere  Effort,  the 
Unfed  Flame  would  become  visible  in your  home,  for 
which  you  have  been  asking. If you  will  call  the Presence 
to establish  It, who  shall  say when  that  will  be done. I 
hope  none  will  say It cannot  be done. Beloved  Ones,  I urge  you,  which  I have  never  done  on 
Earth  before,  to feel  the deep  Sincerity  and  the Truth  of 
Our Sincere  Effort  to help  you. I tell you  Beloved  Children 
of the Earth—all  mankind  in America. those  who  criticize 
or condemn  these  Beloved  Messengers,  should  bow  their 
faces  in shame  forever. They  have  given  their  all, going 
forth  dauntless  and  fearless  before  the destructive  activity 
of mankind;  untouched  by it—carrying  This  Truth  with-
out rest or thought  of it. Then,  I say to those  who  do that— 
shameless  mankind. One  day  in the agony  of those  human 
Beings'  own  creation,  they  will  call  to these  Beloved  Mes-
sengers,  as never  they  called  to anyone  in the World. We have  told  you,  the  Messengers  have  told  you,  no 
human  Beings  can escape  reaping  their  own  creation. Then, 
why  will  any  Blessed  One  who  claims  to be an "I AM" 
Student,  allow  a quality  of criticism  to go forth  for any 
reason  whatsoever—because  you  know  the Law. You  can-
not say you don't. Every  one of you  knows  the Law. It only 
means  your  DETERMINATION  to have  Self-control  and 
you will  have  it. So, I say to you tonight,  the struggle  of mankind  has been 
very great;  but  if you  will  allow  Us,  We  will  help  you,  if 
you will  give  obedience  to Our  Requests. There  are  not 141 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
many,  you  must  notice  that. We  make  few  requests,  but 
when  We  do,  It means  everything  in your  Life  Stream. Remember  this. We  want  to help  you  so much,  but  We 
cannot  help  you,  if you  don't  want  Us to do so. Will  you  understand  tonight,  Beloved  Ones,  since  the 
Messengers'  Class  in San  Francisco,  I have  left My Cosmic 
Activity  to come  and  render  This  Service  to the Classes. Each  day,  I have  been  present  in every  Class  since  then. It 
sounds  very  simple,  doesn't  it; but if you  will  turn  to your 
Presence  for the feeling  of what  It means  in the Blessing  of 
mankind,  I am sure  you  will  feel  clearly  and  definitely,  It 
is not just  idle  expression. Today,  I rejoice  with  you,  in the 
Great,  Great  Blessing  which  came  to you  this  afternoon— 
how  very  wonderful  It is. Will  you  not join  Me in My De-
termination  to help  you  to be Free. To help  you  to Self-
Mastery  in every  Requirement,  which  will  give  you  your 
Freedom. I ask you,  I invite  you  to let Us help  you. Can 
We do more. I think  not. We can  do no more  than  to in-
vite you  to allow  Us to assist  you;  and  then,  you  take  com-
mand  thru  your  own  Self-control;  so the Power  of your 
Presence  may  be released  quickly,  to do Its Perfect  Work 
for you. I enfold  you  in the Fulness  of My  Love. As the 
Children  in India  became  a Part  of My Love,  so today,  you 
have  become  a Part  of My  Love. Try  to feel  what  that 
means  to you. Then  in the Fulness  of your  Call  to the Pres-
ence,  ask It to give  you  the Courage  and  Strength,  which 
will enable  you  to make  your  Call  with  such  earnestness, 
the Instantaneous  Response  comes  without  limit. DISCOURSE  VIII  119 
Until  We  meet  again,  in the Fulness  of your  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence,"  thru  whom  I pour  My  Love—FEEL. ACCEPT  IT AND  BE FREE. "I AM"  the  Courage. "I 
AM"  the Strength. "I AM"  the Light  within  you,  which 
gives  you  the Courage  and  Mastery  of your  human  self. "I AM"  the Full  Power  of Obedience  within  you,  to every 
Requirement  which  makes  for your  Freedom. In all the Universe  there  is but One  Power,  One  Light, 
One Substance,  One  Intelligence—"I  AM"—the  Power  of 
the Godhead;  announcing  Its Authority  at your  focus  of 
activity  in the physical  octave. Remember,  as you  refer  to 
the Godhead,  use  Those  Words—"I  AM". Do not follow 
Those  Two  Words  with  any  negative  expression  or feeling; 
because  if you  do, then  in your  Call  to the Presence,  you 
make  that  negative  activity  tremendously  more  powerful  in 
your  Life. Do not ever  say:  I am sick;  I am broke;  I am lim-
ited. Don't  do it, because  then,  you  qualify  the Power  which 
you are calling  forth,  to produce  that  very  quality  and  ex-
perience  for you. Instead,  to every  expression  of pain  in the body,  limita-
tion of finances  or limitation  of any  kind  whatsoever,  say 
to such  appearance:  "'You  have  no power'. I know  my 
own  God  Presence,  my 'Mighty  I AM'. I know  there  can-
not act in my  world  any  limiting  thing  any  longer". If 
there  is pain  in the  body,  say  to that  pain:  "Be  silent. 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'. sweep  out cause  and  effect  of this. " Then  feel  It do it, and  you  will  be commanders  of your 
bodies  in no time. You  have  the Assistance. Now  use It. 143 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Do not yield  to those  conditions  or appearances,  which  have 
frightened  you  and  made  you  believe  you  were  under  their 
domination. You  are no longer  under  the domination  of 
pain;  under  the domination  of disturbance;  nor  under  the 
domination  of limitation  of any  kind. You  are not. Will 
you accept  that  and  live  it in feeling,  so you  may  have  your 
Freedom  now. In the Infinite  Light  of the "Mighty  I AM 
Presence,"  the Great  Host  of Ascended  Masters  and  the 
Great  Cosmic  Beings,  We enfold  you  all in the Fulness  of 
Their  Infinite  Light,  Its Power,  Its Activity,  Its Love,  Its 
Blessing. May  Our  enfolding  Light  cause  you  to feel  only 
Love  and  Blessings  pouring  out from  you  forever. We thank  you  for This  Opportunity  of calling  your  at-
tention  to Our  Endeavor  to assist  you,  the rest  is with  you. We are ready. We have  released  the Power,  the Energy,  the 
Intelligence  to act. To the  degree  you  will  accept  It and 
feel It, will  It produce  Our  Perfection  in your  world. In the Glory  of Our  Light  of Infinite  Power  and  Intel-
ligence,  I enfold  you  now  and  forever. DISCOURSE  XI 
SAN  FRANCISCO,  CALIFORNIA. August  i, 7937 
Beloved  Children  of the Light,  you  have  been  taught 
much. Tonight,  will  you  come  with  Me on a journey,  so 
you may  realize  more  than  ordinarily,  that  which  is a part 
of your  world,  yet unknown  to you. I refer  to your  Great 
Inner  Light  (or  Life)  which  is the  Activity  of your 
Reality,  thru  your  Higher  Mental  Body. It is a Part  of you 
so Real,  so Magnificent,  that  if you  suddenly  became  aware 
of the Perfection  which  you  really  are,  your  Joy would  be 
so boundless. I say to you  who  have  the appearance  of years,  if you 
suddenly  saw  how  beautiful,  how  youthful  you  really  are, 
the appearance  of age only  having  registered  on the atomic 
structure  of your  body;  how  differently  you  would  feel. This  Appearance  of the outer  structure  is but an appear-
ance. It is not your  Reality,  and  yet it seems  so real to you. This  is just  the outer  garment  which  you  are wearing, 
upon  which  you  have  registered  the discord,  which  has the 
appearance  of limitation  and  age. Now,  We  are  rapidly 
dissolving  all of that;  and  you will  stand  forth  Free,  wholly 
Free  from  your  own  creations. It was  My Joy to render  a Certain  Service  in which  one-
third  of your  own  human  creation,  or that  of all the 
"I AM"  Students  in America,  was  dissolved  and  con-
121 122 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
sumed  for you. The  Love  within  This  Class  has  made  it 
possible  for further  Assistance  of this  kind  to be given. I 
may  not say just how  much,  but just rejoice  in It. Before  We continue,  the Service  which  I began  yesterday, 
I wish  you  to know  is a Most  Remarkable  Thing. This 
Service  being  rendered  you,  has not been  tried  within  the 
Children  of Earth,  for more  than  two  hundred  thousand 
years. I tried  It at first,  only  as an experiment,  as to what 
could  be done  with  a general  group  of the Students. I find 
It can  be done  for all, which  is an Accomplishment  that 
brings  very  Great  Rejoicing  to Me. As the Beloved  Messenger  just  read  to you,  when  the 
Children  were  before  Me  in the Cave  of Light  in India, 
This  Same  Service  was  rendered. Oh,  feel instead  of having 
to go to far-off  India  at great  expense  and  use  of time,  I 
have  come  here  to you. It is the first  time  in the History 
of the Earth,  a Cosmic  Being  has really  come  in Person,  to 
render  the Children  of Earth  Such  a Service. Now,  We can  more  definitely  plan  Our  Activity  for the 
Outward  Progress  and  the Expansion  of your  Light. We 
can determine  more  definitely  just  what  you  will  do. Does 
it sound  unusual,  as though  We had  not confidence  in you. Not at all, because  you  have  not known  just  what  your  hu-
man  selves  would  do, and  it is why  We could  not depend  on 
you. I feel  so certain  ere long,  I shall  know  just  what  I can 
depend  on; and  that  is a very  great  deal,  to enable  us to go 
forward  in the Progress  of the Protection  of your  Beloved 
America. DISCOURSE  VIII  123 
As you  sit here  before  Me,  it is quite  as though  you  were 
sitting  in Chananda's  Audience  Chamber,  adjoining  the 
Cave  of Light. Tonight,  as the Beloved  Messenger  asked 
you,  will  you  feel  you  are actually  sitting  there  in His 
Audience  Chamber  before  Me,  as was  described  to you. While  just  yet,  I may  not stand  visible  before  you,  as I did 
with  those  Children,  yet "I AM"  as Tangibly  here. There-
fore,  in the Service  which  I am rendering  tonight,  will  you 
be kind  enough  to accept  It in the Fulness  of Its Power, 
altho  you  do not understand  It. It is not necessary,  but just 
have  the Kindly  Loving  Feeling  of Acceptance  of all I am 
doing  for you. That  is all I require  to do the Work. While  this  is going  on, I want  to take  you  on a little 
Journey  into  the realms  of discovery;  and  tell you  why  the 
need  for the Protection  of your  America  is so great. The 
destructive  forces  which  have  not yet been  wholly  brought 
into subjection—in  the last  lashing  of the dragon's  tail,  it 
has brought  forth  some  of the most  destructive  agencies. During  your  recent  world  war,  there  were  many  discover-
ies brought  forth  which  were  so tragic,  so drastic  in their 
nature  even  then;  but  since  then,  still  more  destructive 
things,  have  been  brought  into  the outer  use. Yet,  guard-
edly,  We have  watched  they  were  not released. Tonight,  I have  made  you  a part  of the Great  Protection, 
far more  so than  you  know;  and  far more,  than  I may 
explain  to you  tonight—except  to simply  call  your  atten-
tion to It. I mean,  not  only  you  who  are here,  but  all of 
the Earnest  "I AM"  Students  thruout  America. 124 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
I want  to say at this  point,  I am so sorry  for those  Blessed 
Ones  who  thru  foolish  human  suggestion,  have  turned 
aside  from  This  Pathway  of Light. I am sorry  indeed,  for 
We wanted  them  to enter  This  Great  Stream  of Light  and 
Perfection. Too  late,  they  will  see their  mistake. We  must 
move  forward. We cannot  wait  for anyone  or human  idio-
syncrasies. We  would  so love  to have  all who  have  once 
entered  This  Stream  of Light,  move  forward  with  Us, but 
such  is their  choice. I shall  say something  and  please  don't  let it seem  startling 
to you. As in the training  of Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and  Pearl  and 
those  who  were  there,  so today,  We  are taking  advantage 
of opportunities. I find  thru  This  Activity  which  I have 
started,  many  of you  in your  Higher  Mental  Bodies,  can do 
Tremendous  Work. That  shall  be utilized. First,  thru  the 
Assistance  of your  Higher  Mental  Bodies,  you  will  be 
taught  how  to draw  from  the physical  octave,  the energy 
which  is required. So your  Higher  Mental  Body  may  pro-
ject those  Rays  of Light,  to render  the  Service  which  is 
needed  today;  until  We can  bring  other  Individuals  to the 
point,  where  We  can  teach  them  in the outer  intellectual 
mind,  the use of These  Rays. We see all which  is occurring 
in the destructive  activities. We must  counter-balance  that, 
by the use of the Light  Rays. Now  the Law  of the Light  is, 
We may  not  use  a destructive  force;  but  WE  CAN  DO 
OTHER  THINGS. We  can  use the Constructive  Powers, 
to govern  the  forces  of darkness  or destructive  qualities; 
and this  We are preparing  to do. DISCOURSE  VIII  125 
Notice. but  for  your  Beloved  Saint  Germain  having 
brought  you,  as Students  thus  far, this  would  not have  been 
possible. So you  have  Him  to thank  with  all your  Love  and 
Gratitude,  and  I am sure  you  do. As He brought  Bob,  Rex, 
Nada,  Pearl  and  those  with  them  to the point  where  That 
Service  could  be rendered;  so has He brought  you  today, 
in less than  three  years,  to This  Point—where  This  Service 
can be rendered  in the  outer  world,  of which  you  are a 
part—far  more  Transcendent,  than  I am just  describing  to 
you tonight. You have  been  taught  to say to the forces  of darkness 
and to the human  creation  which  is limiting:  "You  have 
no power". Beloved  Ones,  send  that  forth  with  Greater  and 
Greater  Earnestness  and  Intensity. Say  with  a Great  Calm 
Majesty  and  Power  from  your  Presence,  to all human  crea-
tion;  "'You  have  no Power'. Be thou  dissolved  by the 
Power  of the Light". Individually,  please  do not miss  one  day,  and  especially 
at night,  saying  to all human  creation:  "In the Name  of my 
'Beloved  Mighty  I AM  Presence'  and  the Power  of the As-
cended  Masters,  I say  to all human  creation:  'You  have 
no power'. 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  and  Great  Cosmic 
Light. Project  Thy  Mighty  Light  Rays  in and  thru  the 
Earth—establishing  Thy  Currents  thruout  the atmosphere 
of Earth;  and  cause  all destructive  qualities  and  activities 
there  to cease  to exist". Then,  We  will  do the rest. These  simple  Calls  which  you  are sending  forth,  make 
everything  possible  for Us,  and  it is you  who  need  the 126 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
Protection. It is your  Beloved  Humanity  which  needs  Pro-
tection. When  I have  noticed  among  the Earnest  Students 
such  a great  desire  to serve,  Oh Beloved  Ones,  if you  in 
the silence  of your  own  chamber,  will  make  these  Calls,  as 
I have  just explained,  how  Great  will  be your  Service  which 
you are rendering. Will  you  who  are visiting  here,  please 
carry  This  with  you  to the Students  in the  various  parts 
of America  and  the Group  Leaders. You might  think  We  are accumulating  a great  deal  for 
you to do. It does  not mean,  you  must  use all the things 
which  are before  you  each  day. Please  understand  this  Be-
loved  Students:  "As  you  advance  and  We  advance  in the 
Activity  which  is required,  and  We  offer  certain  Require-
ments  for you  to fulfill—do  not let yourselves  become  con-
fused  by something  which  is added. " All is a stepping  up 
process,  as you  use  the  term  in electrical  parlance. It is 
the Light  ADVANCING,  going  forward  into  Greater 
Achievement  and  Freedom. Therefore,  We may  ask you  to 
do many  things  in the  future;  but  remember  when  you 
have  entered  the Steps  into  the Doorway  of Light,  you  do 
not pull  the Steps  in with  you. You  leave  the Steps  there,  for 
the others  who  are to follow  on. As you  are advancing  and 
more  is naturally  required  of you,  then  rejoice  in it. I say to the Group  Leaders  concerning  this:  Dear  Hearts, 
don't  let your  human  quibble  over  following  Directions. Joyously,  Happily  and  Willingly  just  do what  We Request. You don't  see and  know,  but We do; and  We ask nothing 
in the world  except  what  you  can do, and  that  which  We DISCOURSE  VIII  127 
know  is of the  Greatest  Service. You  could  not  in your 
limited  state  know;  but We can in Our  State. When  We  request  something,  It is for your  good. Just 
as yet remember,  Beloved  Ones,  you  are the Vanguard  of 
the Light. For  a little  time,  your  Responsibility  is Greater; 
because  thru  the Power  of your  Radiation  your  Call  is mak-
ing possible  the Wider  Expansion  of This  "I AM"  Activity. Thru  the Transcriptions  and  the Radio  Work,  which  We 
are opening,  you  will  find  the Open  Doorway  to the Ex-
pansion  of the Light  and  the reaching  of people  which  is 
necessary. It is imperative  that  These  Books  flood  forth  to 
mankind  as much  as possible;  for They  contain  and  hold 
the Explanation  and  the Application,  by which  every  hu-
man  Being  can set himself  or herself  Free. It is imperative 
the people  have  them  for Constant  Use;  because  the intel-
lect does  not retain  enough  from  just  hearing  the Instruc-
tion. I ask  all, please  do not keep  reaching  out for more  Ex-
planation. Take  That  which  is before  you  and  apply  It with 
DETERMINATION,  WITH  FIRMNESS. The  Explana-
tion is all there,  if you  really  understand  It. Don't  let your 
intellect  keep  reaching  out  for various  things;  and  guard 
your  human  self,  so it does  not  run  away  and  feel  itself 
wiser  than  We. Dear  Ones,  in the  Service  which  you  are rendering,  I 
say again  to you:  "The  Present  Students  of the 'I AM'  under 
Saint  Germain's  Radiation,  are the Vanguard  of the Light; 
and EACH  ONE  must  feel  the Courage  of his or her own 128 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
"I AM  Presence,"  strong  enough  to carry  This  Light;  until 
more  of humanity  can be brought  into  the Clearness  of This 
Understanding. Then,  they  will  share  the  responsibility 
with  you;  but today,  the outer  world  does  not understand 
how  to call forth  its Protection. Therefore,  the people  are as 
helpless  as infants". I am telling  you  tonight,  unless  Individuals  understand 
their  own  God-Presence,  the "Mighty  I AM,"  they  can give 
but fragmentary  assistance. THEY  CANNOT  GIVE  THE 
SUSTAINED  ACTIVITY;  because  they  must  know  their 
Presence  is above  them,  from  which  they  can  call  Its 
Powers  into  action. Until  Individuals  understand  this,  they 
are constantly  wavering  like  the pendulum  of a clock  and 
soon  the Presence  is forgotten. No longer  will  people  waver,  but stand  in the Light  and 
draw  to themselves  their  own. Oh,  that  you  understood 
those  Simple  Words. Those  Words  are  the  Majesty  of 
Creation. —"Stand  in the  Light  and  draw  to yourselves 
your  own". Shall  I put  it just  a little  more  definitely  to 
you. From  the Octaves  of the Ascended  Masters  there  are 
being  lowered  into  the atmosphere  of Earth,  Certain  Ac-
tivities,  which  mean  Assistance  in Precipitation;  which 
mean  Assistance  in the Use  of the Light  Rays;  which  mean 
Assistance  in the Power  of Self-control  of the Individual. All This  is Assistance  independent  of your  Call. The  World 
is once  again  being  set Free,  altho  its mistakes  have  been 
great. The  Cosmic  Light  says  once  again:  "Mankind  is to 
be set Free  from  the sweat  of its brow,  for its livelihood; DISCOURSE  VIII  129 
and as the Light  intensifies  within  the Earth,  will  many  of 
you come  to understand  the import  of My Words  tonight". We have  in the Etheric  Belt,  within  certain  parts  of the 
Earth,  discoveries  of which  We  have  known  for a long 
time;  and  to Those  in the Retreats  for more  than  one  hun-
dred  years,  which  will  give  your  America  Its Perfect  Free-
dom. The  labor  problem  which  has  caused  so much  un-
happiness  and  destruction,  how  quickly  We  could  solve  it. The people  have  been  wanting  shorter  hours. We  could 
show  you,  how  to produce  all you  require  in two  hours 
service  a day. Then  in the balance  of that  time,  you  could 
study  for your  own  Perfection. How  many  of you  can tell 
Me tonight,  if you  had  or were  required  to render  just  two 
hours  service  a day—would  you  actually  give  the remainder 
of the eight  hours,  to study  and  make  Application  for your 
Freedom. I leave  that  to you. Now  then  remember,  you  are entering  a New  Kingdom, 
the Kingdom  of Light—which  is Its Own  Supply  to the 
Children  of Earth. This  is not idle  talk. We  have  no time 
for such  things;  but  I am drawing  your  attention  tonight, 
to Certain  Things  for a Very  Definite  Purpose;  because  It 
not only  means  your  advancement,  but It means  the Assist-
ance  which  you  require. You,  in your  great  city  tonight,  are sitting  within  This 
Sanctuary  of Light,  as though  the  outer  world  did  not 
exist,  for these  two  hours  while  you  are here. It is the 
Rarest  Privilege  and  Activity  on Earth,  Beloved  Ones. You 
are in This  Charged  Sacred  Chamber  of Light,  very  much 130 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
as if you  were  in the  Cave  of Light  in India;  only  this 
building  is not charged  for centuries  with  the Light  where 
only  Perfection  exists,  as it is there. Yet,  We  are drawing 
and have  drawn  thruout  the classes,  These  Mighty  Light 
Rays  into  the  room,  which  are  fulfilling  a very  Similar 
Purpose  for you. That  is why,  as your  attention  is called 
from  one  point  to another,  the opening  is there  for Us, to 
fill your  world  with  whatever  you  desire. It is Light  and 
Happiness. I say again  tonight,  do not allow  one  single  feeling  to live 
in you  of criticism  or condemnation  of another;  even 
though  such  a one  might  have  made  mistakes. Pour  out 
Our Ascended  Master  Divine  Love. Raise  the Loved  One 
who  has  made  mistakes  into  the Arms  of Your  Presence 
and forget  all else. You  will  know  such  Happiness. Then, 
you will  have  done  Your  Part,  to fulfill  the Law  of Light 
and Love. So tonight,  Dear  Hearts,  remember—to  the degree  you 
pour  out the Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love  and  Blessings, 
will the Door  of your  world  open  wide,  into  Our  Eternal 
Light  which  releases  all Perfection  into  your  use;  for your 
Blessing  and  for  the  Purifying  and  Perfecting  of your 
bodies. Can you  actually  believe  My Words,  when  I say to you: 
"There  are three  hundred  seventy-five  people  in this  room, 
who  could,  if they  would  determine  to do It and  stand  by 
It, make  their  Ascension  in this  embodiment. That  is 
True". DISCOURSE  VIII  131 
I am endeavoring  in Many  Ways  to hold  your  conscious-
ness into  Our  Mighty  Reality,  which  takes  from  you  all 
doubts,  all fears  and  the human  sense  of limitation. They 
do not belong  there. They  are not yours. It is all just an ac-
cretion,  and  when  you  call  your  Presence  into  action  to 
dissolve  all of it, and  replace  it by the acceptance  of all 
the Glories  there  are;  you  too,  will  feel  more  the Import 
of why  I am calling  your  attention  to these  things  tonight. There  are fifty  people  in this  room,  who  could  say to 
any destructive  force—STOP. and  it would  be compelled 
to stop. Remember—the  Light  of Your  Presence  which 
gives  you  Life,  can assert  the Activity  of the Sword  of Blue 
Flame. With  the number  of Individuals  whom  I have  men-
tioned,  It could  be called  into  action  thru  the Power  of Di-
vine Love  and  used  in Divine  Love. Tonight,  how  My  Heart  rejoices  in your  very  kind  at-
tention,  so much  is done. Beloved  Ones,  Great  is Our  Re-
joicing. Will  you  please  enter  into  This  Rejoicing  with  Us, 
in the Achievement  here. Remember,  as in the Activity 
with  the Children  in India,  so tonight,  you  are a Part  of My 
Love  and  Light. FEEL  IT as deeply  as you  can. Let Our 
Light  do Its Perfect  Work  in, and  thru  you,  and  out into 
your  world. I earnestly  ask you  no longer  to give  power  to 
appearances,  which  cannot  have  it, so far as your  world  is 
concerned;  unless  you  feed  your  Life  Stream  into  them  by 
your  attention. Remember,  that  is so important. Nothing  of a destruc-
tive nature  can touch  you  or your  world,  except  thru  your 155 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES 
attention,  you  feed  your  Life  into  it. Try  to feel This  Truth 
with  Great  Loving  Firmness. Then,  remind  yourselves  NO 
LONGER  shall  your  attention  be focused  upon  limiting, 
destructive  or disturbing  things;  or your  Life  be fed into 
them,  to add  to the world's  unhappiness. If you  have  a feeling  of unkindness  within  you  to some-
one else,  then  you  are by your  attention,  feeding  your  Life 
Stream  possibly  to harm  the other,  as well  as limit  yourself. Do you  see, Precious  Ones,  how  there  is always  a double  ac-
tivity  in discord. If you  feel  unkindly  to another,  you  are 
adding  to the burden  of that  Individual  and  limiting  your-
self. I am so grateful  you  understand  this  clearly  now,  and  will 
keep  yourselves  reminded,  when  the temptation  comes  to 
have  an unkind  or discordant  feeling,  simply  say:  "Oh  no, 
too long  this has been,  but no longer. I shall  stand  in Loving 
Kindness  to all and  in the Light  of my 'I AM  Presence'; 
so Its Great  Self-Luminous  Intelligent  Substance,  may  flood 
my world  and  produce  everything  I require/' 
In the Fulness  of My Love,  I enfold  you  and  that  of the 
Great  Host  of Ascended  Masters,  the Legion  of Light  and 
the Great  Cosmic  Beings;  who  are watching  you  so closely, 
trusting,  hoping,  you  will  assert  your  Dominion  of Self-
control;  so the World  may  be flooded  by your  Love,  the 
Radiance  of the Great  Presence  and  the Host  of Light,  to 
give the Service  needed  to set all mankind  Free. Remember,  We  are  never  separated. When  you  have 
called  to your  "I AM  Presence,"  call  to Beloved  Saint  Ger-DISCOURSE  VIII  133 
main,  Myself—any  one  of the  Ascended  Masters,  Sanat 
Kumara  or the Cosmic  Beings. Then  Assistance  will  come, 
but try earnestly  to receive  from  your  Presence  at your  Call, 
all you  require;  because  in It, you  gain  the Victory. We love  to assist,  but you  must  FIRST  try  every  means 
within  your  power,  to call your  own  "I AM  Presence"  into 
action. Then,  if you  cannot  quite  accomplish  it, We  shall 
supply  the  Courage,  Strength  and  Assistance  necessary; 
but do not longer  feel,  you  cannot  gain  the Victory  over 
anything. We  have  now  given  you  the Assistance. Try 
earnestly  every  way  you  know;  and  then,  if you  need  As-
sistance,  It shall  come  forth  to you. Please  remember  that. You know  your  Presence  and  Ours  are not limited  in 
any manner  whatsoever. Just  feel This  which  fills  you  with 
Our Joy and  Courage  of the Infinite  Power  of Light. Feel 
It ever-expanding  within  you;  unto  the Glory  of your  Vic-
tory—then  your  Ascension;  Free  forever  in the Octave  of 
Light  with  Us. One  day,  We shall  have  many  Happy  Visits 
over the Experiences  of today. I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XI

SEATTLE,  WASHINGTON 
Out of the  Glory  of the  Light  which  is within  your 
Hearts,  I shall  endeavor  tonight,  to call  forth  into  action 
in your  world,  something  of the Powers  of Our  Light  of 
which  you  have  not yet become  aware. In the Authority  which  I wield,  so far as time  and  space 
are concerned,  and  in the Service  which  I have  been  able 
to render,  I am watching  the opportunity  more  and  more 
each  day,  to render  Still  Further  Service  to the students. Thru  the  Great  Cosmic  Law,  which  made  it possible  to 
consume  one-third  of all human  accumulation  of the past— 
still I am not satisfied. I think  there  is still more  which  can 
be done. To every  one of you  Beloved  Children  of the Light,  who 
is making  such  earnest  sincere  effort,  who  of you  shall  say 
to Me,  what  I may  do for you. I say this  even  to former 
students—will  you  tonight  as never  before,  feel the Reality 
of Your  Freedom;  the Power  of your  Presence  surging  in 
and thru  you,  while  I am talking  to you. Try  to feel  that 
Flood  of Light,  flow  in, thru,  and  around  your  body;  and 
into your  world,  just like  water  pouring  thru  your  body. It is so very  wonderful,  once  you  can  begin  to feel  the 
Tangibility  of Those  Great  Currents;  because  as you  be-
*34 DISCOURSE  VIII  135 
come  accustomed  to It, you  can feel  It flow  thru  your  body; 
just as though  water  were  running  over  your  body;  or 
something  running  thru  the flesh  of your  body. The  Vibra-
tory Action,  which  the Currents  of Energy  from  your  Pres-
ence  produce,  goes  thru  your  flesh,  quite  as readily  as the 
blood  flows  thru  your  veins. This  is how  today  in the 
Service  We are endeavoring  to give,  Our  Vibratory  Action 
will so hasten  your  Victory. It is why  We are taking  advan-
tage of these  opportunities  in visiting  the Groups;  or as the 
Messengers  visit  your  Groups,  We give  This  Service. Do any  of you  think  for one  moment,  Our  Words  are 
idle talk. I trust  not. It is a Mighty  Real  Thing,  Dear 
Hearts. You  may  not  quite  realize  It yet;  but  We,  the 
Ascended  Beings,  are the Reality. You—yet  in the limited 
state,  are the unreality;  because  only  in unreality  does  im-
perfection  exist. After  all, what  produces  limitation  and  imperfection  of 
any kind. Certainly  not  your  "I AM  Presence". Then, 
what  does  produce  it. Your  qualification  acting  within 
your  feeling  world,  Dear  Hearts. It is the only  thing  in 
the world  which  stands  between  you  and  the Perfection 
which  We  have. Think  of it.
