Only 
as you  do that,  can  you  have  evidence  of the  Perfection 
which  you  long  to have  flow  forth  like  a river  into  your 
world! We  can  only  do it, as you  give  attention  to your 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  thru  Whom  We  must  work! Will  you  not do this ? Will  you  not feel  the Truth  of Life—the  Law  of Life, 
which  stands  always  ready  to give  you  your  Freedom  ? It is 
easy and  sure—easy  of Achievement  with  the  Great  As-
sistance  which  is being  given. How  little  you  know,  how  many  times  in twenty-four 
hours,  you,  who  have  been  drawn  under  This  Mighty 
Radiation  of Saint  Germain,  are given  Protection  and  As-
sistance. He watches  from  the Great  Octave  of Light  and 
when  He is busy  in other  fields  of Activity,  He always  has 
those  who  stand  on guard  to take  His place,  and  watch  over 
His Children—the  Students  of the Light! Whenever  it is 
necessary,  They  are  pouring  forth  Their  Enfolding  Ra-
diance  and  Strength  to encourage,  to bless,  to heal,  to pros-
per all; and  most  of the students  have  no idea  that  it is being 
done. Won't  you  accept  this  and  feel  Their  Courage  and 
Strength,  to give  you  Help  and  always  know  you  are en-
folded  and  guarded;  so you  are never  really  alone? 28 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
Beloved  Ones,  I enfold  you  in My  Mantle  of Love! I 
charge  your  feeling  world  with  Peace,  with  Self-control, 
with  Mastery. Will  you  accept  It, with  the same  Love  with 
which  I give  It forth  to you  ? If you  will,  then  you  are Free 
from  tonight! I convey  the  Love  of Beloved  Nada,  of our  Beloved 
Brother  Jesus,  of the Great  Host  of Ascended  Masters  and 
the Cosmic  Beings,  Who  are ministering  to mankind. The 
Beloved  Lanto  at the Retreat  of the Royal  Teton  and  Those 
in the Retreat  in Arabia,  send  Their  Love  to the students 
of America. Already  in India,  the Masters,  not yet ascended, 
are receiving  and  acknowledging  the  Beauty  of This 
Knowledge  of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  Saint 
Germain  has brought  forth. More  and  more,  you  will  find 
them  giving  expression  to It. I ask you,  Precious  Children  of the Light,  to stand  guard 
over  your  world;  and  if anything  or any  person  attempts 
to belittle  Saint  Germain's  Activity,  take  you  cue  at once 
and be absent! I give  you  This  as a standard,  to watch  and 
protect  yourselves  from  unfortunate  suggestions! If you 
care to do This,  then  the Pathway  is open! The  doorways 
of doubt  and  fear  are nailed  back  for you! Will  you  not 
feel that;  and  go forth  thru  those  doors,  into  the Eternal 
Freedom  of your  "I AM  Presence"? The  Privilege  is yours! The Power  is yours! The  Authority  is yours! I invite  you  to 
step thru! In the Eternal  Love  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and 
My Mantle  of Love,  We enfold  you  unto  your  Freedom  and DISCOURSE  III 29 
Asccnsion! May  It be quickly! In the Fulness  of your  Mas-
tery and  Self-control,  may  It be achieved  quickly. I thank 
you. DISCOURSE  III 53 
April  2i, 7937 
NEW  YORK  CITY 
Children  of the  Light,  of the  One  Great  Father,  the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"! How  fortunate  you  are after 
long,  long  centuries  of your  pilgrimage  upon  Earth,  in 
various  embodiments  similar  to this;  always  reaching  out 
thru  the Heart. Yet the intellect  has been  constantly  refus-
ing the Feeling,  the Action  of the Heart;  having  forgotten 
completely  that  the Heart  was  the Place  of Divine  Action. It is True  today,  as it was  in the Beginning;  because  your 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"  is anchored  in your  Heart. It 
makes  your  Physical  Heart,  the Heart  of your  "Mighty  I 
AM Presence"—in  action. As you  come  to know,  that  your 
Presence  is above  you,  then  giving  It your  attention,  it 
brings  into  your  outer  world  of activity,  the Power  of your 
Presence—whose  Anchorage  in the octave  of the human 
Life,  is in your  Physical  Heart. Will  you  be kind  enough,  Precious  Ones,  to hold  that 
thought  tonight—while  I am dictating  to you;  and  feel  It 
earnestly,  because  it is My Desire  to do a Definite  Work, 
while  These  Words  are being  voiced  to you. As you  know,  beginning  in San  Francisco,  I came  at 
Beloved  Saint  Germain's  Request,  to assist  the People  of 
Earth. I came  forth  from  My Home  in the Light,  after  hav-
30 DISCOURSE  III  31 
ing rendered  the  Service  in India,  as described  in the 
"Magic  Presence." Saint  Germain,  after  working  for so many  centuries  for 
mankind,  determined  to try to awaken  people  again. Every 
time  He would  raise  them  to a certain  point,  rebellion  in 
the human  feeling  at the discipline  required—for  the Re-
lease  of the Mighty  Energy  from  their  own  God  Presence, 
would  swing  them  aside. In Our  Discussions,  We had  to decide  what  was  the most 
Powerful  means,  by which  This  Assistance  could  be given 
mankind. I said  to Him:  "I am willing  to try with  You  and 
make  a Final  Effort,  to release  the Light  within  enough  of 
mankind,  so the people  may  have  the Blessings,  which  It 
holds  for them"! The Light  in your  body  comes  from  your  "Beloved 
Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  nowhere  else! The  persons 
who  do not believe  the "I AM  Presence"  is there,  as de-
scribed  in This  Chart,  will  remain  in their  chains. No one 
may  say they  shall  not do so, if they  wish. That  is within  the 
choice  of the Individual;  but I tell you,  never  in the history 
of the Earth,  has there  been  such  Tremendous  Release  of 
Light  and  Energy  to bless  mankind,  as is coming  forth  at 
this time. We are not compelling  humanity  to accept  and  use This; 
but We can and  do give  It forth  with  Greater  and  Greater 
Release  of Power  and  Energy;  as the students'  attention  to 
their  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  prepares  them  for It. If they 
will FEEL  the Directions  given,  there  is not a thing  in the 32 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
world  which  can prevent  their  Freedom,  Success  and  their 
Ascension. I want  you  to realize  tonight,  if you  will,  Precious  Ones, 
there  is no time  in human  Life  and  experience,  when  man-
kind  has not been  guarded  by Those  Great  Ascended  Be-
ings and  the  Great  Cosmic  Beings! Otherwise  mankind 
would  not exist  today;  because  of the accumulation  of the 
discordant  creations,  which  the people  have  drawn  into  the 
atmosphere  of Earth. Their  accumulated  discord  is the so-
called  astral  or psychic  world! In it, there  is nothing  but 
destructive  qualities,  generated  and  brought  forth  by man-
kind  thruout  the countless  centuries;  ever  since  mankind 
turned  away  from  the  Acknowledgment  of each  one's 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence";  and  that  is many,  many  centuries 
ago! (On December  2, 1939,  the Ascended  Masters  finished  consuming  the astral 
or psychic  plane  over  the United  States  of America;  and  they  removed  all 
the discarnates  over  America  at the same  time.) I would  not  care  to even  draw  your  attention  to the 
length  of time;  but  today,  for the first  time  in the history 
of the Earth,  there  has  been  released  This  Knowledge  of 
the Ascended  Masters  in Its minutest  detail;  so mankind, 
if the people  will  take  advantage  of this,  thru  their  calls  to 
the Presence,  can  free  themselves  wholly  and  completely! By the Use  of the  Violet  Consuming  Flame,  they  can 
release  themselves  from  every  discordant  thing,  which  they 
have  ever  drawn  about  them. The  Individual,  who  is foolish 
enough  not  to wish  to use the Violet  Consuming  Flame, 
will remain  in his chains  and  limitations. Without  the Use DISCOURSE  III  33 
of It, you cannot  free  yourself  from  your  own  creations;  and 
so far as It being  harmful  is concerned,  that  is positively 
foolish;  for the reason  the human  cannot  produce  the Violet 
Consuming  Flame! Your  Presence,  Who  is All Perfection, 
is the Only  One,  aside  from  the Ascended  Masters,  who  can 
produce  that  Violet  Consuming  Flame. At your  call,  the 
Presence  rushes  It thru  your  body  and  thru  your  world  of 
activity  and  creations;  dissolving  all discordant  creations 
from  you  and  your  world. That  is the way,  It sets  you  Free 
and is the Means  by which  you  can,  thru  the Assistance  of 
your  Presence  and  the Call  to the Ascended  Masters,  so pu-
rify your  body,  the Presence  can  enable  you  to make  the 
Ascension. The use  of the Tube  of Light  about  you  is IMPERA-
TIVE  today! If you  wish  to move  in your  world,  untouched 
by the discordant  human  creation  about  you,  It is the only 
way you can do it. While  the Messengers  are here  with  you,  We  shall  en-
deavor  to make  this  so absolutely  clear  in every  detail;  all 
those  who  want  to, may  have  the Clearness,  the  Under-
standing  and  the Power  released  within  them,  of the Appli-
cation  which  will  set them  Free  during  this  class. We have  no desire  to intrude  anything  upon  any  one; 
but Precious  Ones,  there  must  be Tremendous  Power  in 
This  Light  being  released  thru  these  Blessed  Messengers, 
when  there  is such  furious  opposition  to them  as there  is 
today! Never  has  such  vicious  violent  opposition  touched 
anything,  which  has  ever  come  forth  in America,  as these 34 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
two Precious  Ones  have  had  to face,  in the carrying  forth  of 
This  Light! They  have  never  asked  anything  of any  one, 
except  to love  his or her  own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence" 
and harmonize  himself  or herself! They  have  never  given 
forth  anything  but  Love,  Kindness  and  Harmony! Yet 
this viciousness  persists;  and  even  the concentration  of it 
going  on all over  the United  States;  by individuals  trying 
to interfere  with  the Spreading  of This  Light. In Los  Angeles,  in the Pan  Pacific  Class,  Beloved  Ones, 
everything  was  attempted  the human  could  think  of, to try 
and prevent  that  class. Well,  it was  more  wonderful  than 
ever! Much  of the same  thing  is being  done  in New  York, 
to try to prevent  the class  here;  but the class  will  go on un-
touched!" (And  it did!) These  unfortunate  individuals,  who  think  they  are op-
posing  the Ballards  and  accusing  them  of all kinds  of things 
—every  word  of which  is falsehood,  do they  think  for one 
moment,  they  are opposing  the Ballards  ? The  Ballards  have 
not a thing  to do with  it, except  to carry  This  Light;  and 
they  have  had  the Courage  to face  the "lions  on the path 
and make  them  Airedales,"  as Mrs.  Shinn  says. Dear  Hearts, 
it is the Great  Cosmic  Light  which  these  unfortunate  indi-
viduals  are facing,  not the Ballards! If Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ballard 
should  suddenly  ASCEND,  do you  think  This  Work 
would  stop  ? As your  phrase  is used—"Not  on your  Life." You see We very  often  use your  own  expression,  because 
it goes  home  clearly  ofttimes. I tell you,  Dear  Ones,  those 
unfortunate  beings  will  meet  their  own  destruction—every DISCOURSE  III  35 
one of them—who  opposes  This  Light  and  these  Blessed 
Ones. They  give  forth  nothing  in this  world  but Love  and 
kindness! They  do give  forth  the Truth  which  will  liberate 
and free  every  one  of mankind;  if each  one  will  apply  It 
with  earnestness  and  determination. It will  not apply  Itself! After  the Messengers  returned  from  Honolulu  last  sum-
mer,  Their  Work  so far as their  Requirements  in This  Ac-
tivity  were  concerned,  was  finished. Saint  Germain  came 
to them  in His  Tangible  Body  and  said:  "Now  you  are 
Free"! If you  wish  to do so, you  do not  have  to go on 
and battle  farther  in this,"  and  they  said:  "Our  joy is to 
serve. If we can be of further  Service,  then  we are ready  to 
continue  on;  until  enough  of mankind  understand  their 
own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  to hold  the Balance  for man-
kind  and  set the rest of them  Free." Do you  wonder,  Beloved  Ones  of New  York,  why  the 
Messengers  have  been  so unyielding  and  firm;  in demand-
ing and  holding  every  one  firm  and  close  to the Books 
which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  forth  ? Because  the 
Truth  is there  Unadulterated—the  Ascended  Masters' 
Words  and  Understanding—in  which  there  is no human 
concept! Because  Their  Words  are Power  and  are Cups  of 
the Qualities  which  They  carry! This  Understanding  will 
set mankind  Free,  as nothing  else  will  do! It is not,  that  there  are not many  wonderful  things  in the 
world;  but  We  know  This  Knowledge  is Unadulterated 
and COMPLETE  as given! It is that  which  We  used! All 
of the Ascended  Masters  have  used  identically  the Same 36 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
Application,  even  the  Same  Wording  and  Expression, 
which  is given  to you  by Saint  Germain! All of this  is given 
and held  Unadulterated  and  Uninterfered  with! It will  give 
you your  Freedom  from  limitations  most  quickly  and  your 
Ascension,  if you  will  so decree  It! The Beauty  and  Power  of It is, that  any  one  who  will 
start  now,  can  in this  embodiment  have  his or her Ascen-
sion. If such  Individuals'  Light  has  not  expanded  suffi-
ciently  for the Accomplishment  within  this  embodiment, 
they  will  come  back  in the Full  Understanding  of this  "I 
AM Presence";  because  they  will  be trained  in between  em-
bodiments  in the Knowledge  of their  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence"! They  will  come  back  in the next  embodiment,  make 
the Ascension;  and  have  their  Eternal  Freedom  in that  em-
bodiment! These  are Mighty  Truths,  Dear  Hearts,  you  can 
believe  them  or not. We are not concerned,  Precious  Ones,  as the Messengers 
have  said  in their  class,  who  accepts  or don't. Their  part  is 
to offer  This  Light  and  Its Application;  and  the people  can 
take It and  apply  It to their  Freedom,  if they  will. We never 
try to urge—I  will  not say,  We do not "try  to urge"  for We 
do sometimes;  but We never  coerce,  because  mankind  must 
come  in, by its own  Free  will. It is your  Eternal  Freedom,  because  everything  you  do 
thru  your  "I AM  Presence,"  becomes  an Established  Activ-
ity of the Power  of the Presence  in your  feeling  world. It be-
comes  the Presence  in action,  to the degree  you  have  called 
Its Power  forth  and  It becomes  anchored  there. DISCOURSE  III  37 
We are talking  Heart  to Heart  here,  and  I say:  "As  long 
as the students  listen  to the unhappy  gossip,  the criticism 
and the frightful  falsehoods,  which  these  vicious  individ-
uals have  put  forth  concerning  the  Messengers,  the  stu-
dents  will  remain  in their  limitations. The  Messengers  will 
go on doing  their  Work  and  themselves  be wholly  Free; 
but the  student  who  accepts  falsehoods,  will  remain  in 
limitations." Dear  Hearts,  it is so Self-evident. How  can  any  one  fail 
to grasp  it ? The  Messengers  have  pled  with  the students 
thruout  these  more  than  two  years. They  have  said  so often, 
Harmony  is the IMPORTANT  ACTIVITY  within  the 
feeling  world  of mankind;  in order  to allow  the Power  of 
the Presence  to have  Its Dominion  within  the  physical 
mind  and  body  of mankind,  to produce  Its Perfection 
there. Without  Harmony,  you continue  to clothe  the Mighty 
Energy,  which,  if left  in Its Natural  Harmonious  State, 
would  quickly  and  readily  set you  Free! There  is only  one 
way to stop  clothing  it, and  that  is to hold  Harmony  in your 
feeling  all the time! With  all the ugly  things  which  have  been  said  to this 
good  brother  and  Mrs.  Ballard,  never  an unkind  thought  or 
feeling  goes  out,  even  to those  who  do it! Because  you  see 
them  powerful,  firm  and  positive,  don't  ever  make  the 
mistake,  of thinking  that  any feeling  goes  out but Love  and 
kindness. They  have  learned  the Law  and  they  are living 
It, an Eternal  Example  to mankind,  if the people  will  but 
see it. 38 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
I want  you  to know  tonight,  not only  you  Precious  Ones 
here,  but every  earnest  sincere  student  in New  York;  that 
from  My  Body,  goes  out a Ray  of Light  and  Energy  into 
every  Heart  and  each  one's  feeling  world;  preparing  them 
for this  class  beginning  on Saturday;  so they  may  have  the 
greatest  possible  benefit  from  it. Then,  if Harmony  is main-
tained,  how  do you  know,  how  soon  the Messengers  may 
come  again! You will  notice,  Precious  Ones,  whenever  the Messengers 
have  been  able  to reach  cities  twice  a year,  Harmony  and 
Marvelous  Activity  have  been  maintained. Let  us all join 
like one  Mighty  Wall  of Light,  all students  in New  York, 
in One  Great  Loving  Harmonious  Accord. For  what  ? Not 
just your  own  Individual  Expansion  of your  Light,  which 
will naturally  come;  but  for the mighty  imperative  need 
for the Protection  of America. Beloved  Ones,  you  cannot  imagine  and  I shall  not  at-
tempt  to voice  to you,  what  stands  before  you;  to be con-
quered  in the Protection  of America. These  Precious  Mes-
sengers  have  pled  with  mankind  thruout  these  two  years, 
more  and  more  powerfully  for that  need. However,  one 
day you  will  see how  Great  has been  their  Love  and  Bless-
ing for America. In These  Mighty  Decrees  which  have  gone  forth  for the 
Protection  and  blessing  of America,  I tell you  Dear  Hearts, 
you would  not  be here  today,  if it had  not  been  done. Now  the foolishness  in mankind  may  believe  that  or not; 
but We know  This  Truth  only  too well;  and  if humanity DISCOURSE  III  39 
will not listen,  then  experience  must  be the teacher  and 
you know  experience  is a terrific  teacher,  is it not ? Won't  you  turn  to your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  call 
the Power  of the Violet  Consuming  Flame  into  action,  to 
dissolve  and  consume  every  discordant  thing  from  your 
world  ? Then,  enter  quickly  into  Joy and  Freedom  which 
the Presence  holds  for you;  instead  of going  on in the ex-
perience  Life,  and  thru  the discord  in your  feeling,  pass  out 
of these  bodies  and  come  again  into  a similar  condition. Beloved  Ones,  do you  not see mankind  has  been  doing 
this very  identical  thing,  thru  the centuries  ? There  is only 
one thing  in the Universe,  which  can solve  the problems  of 
mankind  and  make  the  solving  permanent;  and  that  is 
calling  the Power  of the Presence  into  action;  to fill and 
harmonize  your  world;  to take  command  of mankind,  and 
the governments  of the world;  and  in That  Call,  really  will 
come  the  Divine  Guidance  and  Divine  Power  required. Then,  as the Mighty  Arcturus  has said:  "That  Light  as of a 
Thousand  Suns  shall  descend  into  the Earth,  dissolve  and 
consume  all human  selfishness  from  the planet." Today,  not  only  because  We  who  know  it, say so; but 
there  are innumerable  indications  in your  physical  world, 
which,  if mankind  knew  how  to interpret  them,  verify 
the very  Statements  which  have  been  made  thruout  This 
Activity! The  end  of the ages  is here! Mankind  can  have 
Our Assistance  by the  Call  to the  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence." That  is the Reason  for This  Knowledge  being  re-
leased  ; and  for the Great  Golden  Age  coming  in quickly, 63 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
producing  Its Perfection  for mankind. The  people  can  co-
operate  and  help  bring  It in; or they  can go on and  refuse 
acceptance  of It; and  go down  in the discord  of their  own 
destruction! The  choice  is widi  mankind  today! The  Great 
Cyclic  Law  will  not wait! Mankind  has been  given  opportunity,  embodiment  after 
embodiment;  and  now  the Great  Cosmic  Light,  a Great 
Wave  of which  is sweeping  into  the Earth  on the seventh 
of this  month,  says  no longer  will  That  Light  wait  for the 
choice  of mankind! It is sweeping  into  action! If mankind 
insists  on allowing  the destruction  of the world  of appear-
ances  to act in This  Incoming  Activity,  then  hundreds  of 
thousands  of mankind  will  have  lost their  opportunity. I trust  there  is not one  of the Beloved  "I AM"  Students 
in New  York,  who  wants  to take  that  chance! Now  re-
member,  We  are  speaking  Heart  to Heart  tonight. Be-
cause  Our  Love  is so great  for you,  who  have  made  earnest 
sincere  effort—in  the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence; 
We insist  if you  will  stand  with  Us, you  shall  not fail—not 
one! That  is how  Great  Our  Love  and  how  great  the Love 
of the Messengers  is for you;  who  were  willing  to go forth, 
when  they  could  have  been  Free! It seems  incredible,  Beloved  Ones,  there  could  exist 
among  your  wonderful  civilization  today,  such  viciousness 
in the  feeling  of mankind. I speak  plainly  to you,  Dear 
Hearts;  for I want  you  to feel your  Authority,  your  Ability, 
your  Power,  to stand  so firmly  with  your  "Mighty  I AM 
Presence,"  no longer  can discord  touch  you  or your  world. DISCOURSE  VIII  41 
We want  you  to be Free,  but We cannot  do this  for you! We can  help  you  tremendously! That  is what  I am  en-
deavoring  to do tonight;  and  I do say in all humbleness, 
since  I began  This  Activity  in San  Francisco,  the western 
part of your  United  States  has  made  enormous  advance-
ment. Won't  you  accept  My Humble  Efforts  here  thruout 
New  York;  and  never  let a moment's  discord  touch  you  or 
your  world  again  ? Pour  out Love  and  Blessings  to all man-
kind—Oh,  no matter  what  their  mistakes  have  been! Man-
kind  is full of mistakes. Who  isn't? Who  shall  judge  what 
mistake  is greater  than  another? All  is a falling  short  of 
Perfection! Won't  you  take  that  attitude  and  just  let the 
Power  of the Presence  pour  forth  Its Mighty  Activity  of the 
Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love? As This  Good  Brother 
called  to your  attention  tonight,  let us take  that  up in the 
Activity  of the  Release  of the  Love  from  your  Presence. How  can  it be ? Only  by your  attention  held  to your  Pres-
ence  and  the call thru  your  Power  of Qualification;  for the 
Power  of the Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love;  to flow  forth 
thru you  and  out into  your  world,  thru  those  Mighty  Light 
Rays  going  forth  from  the Presence. Call  them  into  action 
without  limit! The  Presence  does  not limit  you,  don't  you 
see that? You can call  the Presence  to project  a thousand  or thou-
sands  of Its Rays  everywhere  to carry  out Its Harmonious 
Activity  in the bodies  of mankind;  into  conditions  every-
where;  into  your  city,  to give  the Protection  which  it needs 
so much. You  will  never  know  how  much,  I tell  you 42 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
frankly. Remember,  Beloved  Ones,  and  I say this  with  all 
earnestness,  you  now  become  the Guardians  of the Light  in 
New  York! The  Messengers  have  fulfilled  their  part  in 
the United  States. The  students,  as We  told  them  in the 
West,  are now  the Guardians  of This  Light;  and  those  who 
turn aside  from  This  Stream  of Light,  will  regret  it thru 
the time  that  is to come. This  Light  is True! The  Instruction  which  Beloved  Saint 
Germain  has brought  forth  is True! The  Experiences  of this 
Good  Brother  are True! and  there  is not a single  discrep-
ancy  in those  books—not  one! If mankind  would  clear 
away  all viciousness  in the feeling,  the people  would  see the 
Truth  which  is there;  BUT  NO  ONE  CAN  SEE  THE 
TRUTH  WHOSE  FEELING  WORLD  IS FILLED 
WITH  VICIOUSNESS  AND  UNKINDESS! Love,  the 
Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love,  is the Open  Door  to the 
Fulness  of This  Truth! Each  one  must  call  forth  the As-
cended  Masters'  Love  from  the Presence,  to take  command 
of his or her mind  and  body  and  hold  Its Dominion! So tonight,  My  Joy is Boundless,  Oh Beloved  Ones,  for 
having  the Privilege  of rendering  This  Service  to you. Dear 
Ones,  do you  think  a thing  is not tangible,  because  you  do 
not see it ? Don't  make  that  mistake,  I plead  with  you! The 
most  Tangible  Things  on the face  of This  Earth  or any-
where  else today,  are Those  Rays  of Light  going  forth  from 
My Heart  into  yours! Don't  make  any  mistake! I am not 
speaking  of this  form  standing  before  you  (Mr.  Ballard's). I am speaking  of My Form  which  stands  here  by this Good DISCOURSE  VIII  43 
Messenger. My Form  and  Light  are Limitless  and  I am not 
a dis-embodied  spirit,  don't  make  any  mistake  about 
THAT  either! Now  Dear  Ones,  tonight,  it is My  Privilege  to anchor 
These  Streams  of Light  within  your  Hearts;  and  give  you 
the Courage,  Strength  and  Feeling  of your  Ability  to call 
the Release  of the Powers  of your  Presence  into  action;  to 
set you  and  your  world  Free  and  into  Divine  Order. This 
Service  is being  rendered  for every  SINCERE  STUDENT 
in New  York  tonight;  and  all who  will  accept  It, will  have 
Its Blessing  and  Benefit! One  day,  you  will  know  We  are 
more  Tangible  than  you  are. Our  Bodies  are  Eternal, 
Wholly  Perfect,  and  We have  come  from  Those  Great  Oc-
taves  of Light,  to render  This  Service  to the Earth! Beloved 
Saint  Germain,  Jesus  and  Kuthumie  were  trained  by My-
self, in this  Identical  Understanding  of the "Mighty  I AM 
Presence,"  which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has given  to you, 
even  to the exact  Wording  and  the Application! That  is 
why  We  urge  you,  Precious  Ones,  to hold  closely  to the 
OUTLINE,  which  I sanctioned  in the West  for your  Group 
Activities. Hold  closely  to the Books  and  the Application 
they give  you;  because  that  carries  Our  Power  and  Action 
into your  world,  which  will  bring  your  Freedom  most 
quickly. We are not trying  to deprive  you  of any  Individual  Ex-
pression  or anything  you  might  want  to do yourself;  but 
We know  This  will  produce  the Quickest  Results  for you, 
and that  is why  We  ask  you  to do it! You  are quite  Free 44 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
to acquiesce  or not;  but it is because  We know  It is the Best 
and Quickest  Means,  for you  to gain  your  Freedom  that 
We have  asked  this,  and  no other  reason  in the  world! Don't  make  any  mistake  about  that! Because  the "I AM"  Students  will  not use the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame,  they  come  into  great  distress! I tell  you, 
Precious  Ones,  It was  released  for the  Freedom  of man-
kind. It could  not harm  an unborn  infant  and  those  who 
will not use It, will  not be Free! Remember,  Beloved  Ones, 
in your  attention  to your  Presence,  you  are AUTOMATI-
CALLY  releasing  Tremendously  Greater  Energy  than  you 
did, before  you  knew  you  had  an "I AM  Presence." Some  of you  still  do not FEEL  your  Ability  to release 
These  Powers  from  your  Presence  to set you  Free. Even 
NOW  you—are  releasing  an hundred  fold  Greater  Power 
and Energy,  than  you  did before  you  knew  This  Presence 
three  years  ago! That  is why  We plead  with  you,  Precious, 
Precious  Hearts,  to hold  firm  in your  feeling;  because  as 
this Greater  Energy  comes  forth  thru  you  and  into  your 
world,  if you  continue  to charge  it with  discord,  don't  you 
see, it becomes  tremendously  more  destructive  ? You  cannot 
help  it! It is the Law  of your  Life,  when  you  give  attention 
to your  Presence,  Greater  Energy  has to flow  thru. It is not 
a matter  of anybody's  choice,  but  It is the Law  of your 
Being! It has  to come  thru! Then,  think! If you  continue 
to qualify  it with  discord,  don't  you  see how  much  more 
powerful  it becomes,  to act in your  world  ? That  is why  people  are constantly  swamped  with  dis-DISCOURSE  VIII  45 
cord  in their  minds  and  bodies;  because  for one  reason  or 
another,  they  have  charged  this  Energy  with  discord  or 
unkind  feeling! Precious  Ones,  can't  you  believe  Me,  when 
I ask you  please  to not allow  suspicion  to begin  to act in 
your  world;  or about  persons,  places  or conditions. Please 
do not do it! Suspicion  becomes  self-destruction! Don't  do 
it, if you  want  to be Free. Don't  care  what  the other  person 
is doing! YOUR  PART  IS TO  HARMONIZE,  BEAU-
TIFY  AND  PERFECT  YOUR  OWN  WORLD,  IN 
YOUR  CALL  TO  THE  PRESENCE;  AND  LET 
EVERY  OTHER  ONE  TAKE  CARE  OF  HIS  OWN 
WORLD;  except  to call  the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  to 
bless  all mankind  and  that  is the Greatest  Thing  you  can 
do! We want  to make  this  so clear,  so definite,  so plain  to 
you this time;  that  never  again,  can anything  in the world 
trip you  up and  cause  you  to become  confused. The  Per-
fection  of the "I AM  Presence"  is before  you,  Beloved  Ones; 
and We  are  willing  to the  very  limit,  the  Law  of your 
Being  permits,  to give  you  Assistance  unknown  and  un-
permitted  in the history  of the Earth. During  the time  the Messengers  are here  in this  Class, 
won't  you  tell all of these  blessed  ones,  they  are welcome  to 
the class,  if they  wish  to come  ? Tell  them  to forget  every-
thing  which  has  disturbed  them;  and  receive  the Blessing 
which  We  want  to give  them. They  will  have  great  cause 
to rejoice  if they  will;  because  unless  Sufficient  Harmony 
can be established  in New  York  this  time,  We cannot  come 46 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
again. The  Messengers  and  We  are pouring  forth  all the 
Love  at Our  Command,  to bless  and  draw  to Our  Radiance 
those  who  wish  to have  It; and  only  Love  and  Kindness 
will ever  go forth  from  the  Messengers  to every  one,  re-
member  It! Does  this  sound  strange  to you  ? Until  We  meet  in Our 
Octave  where  We dwell,  remember:  As you  go forth  from 
this room  tonight,  you  are a Part  of Myself! Don't  make 
any mistake  about  that! I mean  exactly  Those  Words! My 
Ray of Light  has  gone  forth  and  anchored  in each  one  of 
your  Hearts! Therefore,  you  have  become  a Part  of Me! Will  you  accept  that  and  keep  yourself  reminded  of It? Then,  as you  do so—refuse  any  longer  to accept  any  dis-
cordant  appearance,  as having  power  to disturb  you  or act 
in your  world. If you  will  do this,  then  My  Ray  of Light  and  Energy 
which  has gone  forth  into  your  Heart,  will  do Its Mighty 
Work  for you;  and  I am sure  there  is not one in this  room, 
who  does  not feel My Immeasurable  Power  of Divine  Love, 
flood  each  one's  world,  Being  and  body! I am sure,  there 
is not one  who  does  not feel  It definitely. That  shall  con-
tinue  to act within  you,  Oh Precious  Ones;  and  Oh,  Our 
Love  is so Great,  so very  Wonderful,  and  is the Eternal 
Power  of the Universe  acting  within  you! May  I remind  you  in preparation  for the Class,  remember 
Beloved  Ones,  when  you  call your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence 
into action,  It knows  no resistance  nor  interference  of any 
kind! Therefore,  It goes  forth  with  the Power  of the Uni-DISCOURSE  VIII  47 
verse  to fulfill  your  requirements. Do you  see then,  how 
your  earnest  sincere  effort  could  not fail in any  way  ? It is 
the Supreme  Opportunity  of all your  human  pilgrimage 
upon  Earth! You know,  Beloved  Ones,  if I were  a human  Being,  you 
might  accuse  Me  of sounding  egotistical;  but  you  know 
better  than  that! A Being  of Light,  Perfection  and  Freedom 
does  not have  those  qualities  existing  within  Him  or Her. Therefore,  when  I say to you,  the Great  Power  of My Love 
is anchored  within  your  Heart,  I mean  it literally  and  phys-
ically,  as well  as Divinely! Will  you  all—every  one  of you—do  Me the kindness,  be-
fore the opening  of the Class,  to read  the last  chapter  of 
the Magic  Presence? Will  you  do Me this  kindness,  and 
as you  start  to read  on thru  that  chapter,  will  you  be kind 
enough  to feel  yourself  in the place  of this  Good  Brother, 
during  His  Experience? It was  Real,  I assure  you! Then, 
allow  Me to do that  which  I wish  to do for you. Oh,  Pre-
cious  Ones,  please  understand,  We  do not care  about  the 
puny  human  mistakes,  which  human  beings  have  made. All We want  is their  earnestness  in their  attention  to their 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  will  enable  Us to do for 
them  what  they  cannot  do themselves;  and  which  We can-
not do for them  unless,  they  will  give  their  Earnest  Atten-
tion to the Presence! Do you  not see,  how  thru  the centuries,  We  were  lim-
ited;  because  human  Beings  did not know  their  Presence? Without  their  attention  to the Presence,  We  were  not per-48 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
mitted—because  the Law  would  not permit  Us—to  release 
This  Help. Now  the  Great  Cosmic  Light  does! Oh,  the 
Glory  for mankind! There  was  no Release  of the Light  into 
the Earth,  except  at long  intervals. I mean  there  were  no 
Great  Cosmic  Impulses  of That  Light  to help  mankind. Now  since  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Activ-
ity forth,  It comes  with  Dynamic  Power  twice  a year! This 
time,  on the 7th of April,  there  was  a Sufficient  Activity 
of the Cosmic  Law  for the Light  to release;  because  of the 
need  and  Blessing  of mankind  today! This  will  come  again 
in July. On the seventh  of July  there  will  come  a still Might-
ier Flow  and  Impulse  of That  Great  Cosmic  Light  into  the 
Earth! I think  most  of you  have  read  Washington's  Vision,  if 
not, you  will  perhaps  in the near  future. I say to you,  the 
last episode  in His  Vision  which  was  a Mighty  Reality,  is 
what  We  are trying  to prevent  acting  in America  today. Only  by enough  Calls  from  the sincere  students  of the "I 
AM"  in America,  can it be prevented. When  Beloved  Saint 
Germain  was  talking  last Sunday  morning  at this  Precious 
One's  Group,  We allowed  this  Good  Brother  to see the Ac-
tivity  of the Cosmic  Light  which  took  place! In the third 
episode  of Washington's  Vision,  you  will  notice  the Great 
Being  states,  as the expression  was  used  by the narrator: 
"that  a dark  angel  in the center  of the Atlantic,"  was  the 
one who  seemed  to be the instigator  of that  activity,  which 
took  place  in what  followed! IN THE  PLACE  OR  PO-
SITION  OF  THAT  BEING,  A PILLAR  OF  LIGHT DISCOURSE  VIII  49 
WAS  PLACED  LAST  SUNDAY  MORNING  IN THE 
CENTER  OF  THE  ATLANTIC,  WHICH  WILL 
REMAIN  AND  DO  ITS  PERFECT  WORK! We mention  fragments  of These  Great  Activities  for your 
Encouragement,  Strength  and  Blessing. If enough  of the 
"I AM"  Students—I  do not necessarily  mean  in numbers— 
but if enough  Earnestness  is released  by These  Mighty  De-
crees  from  mankind,  then  a great  part  of this  destructive 
activity,  which  would  otherwise  take  place  and  sweep  over 
America,  may  be forestalled. Is there  any  one  of the Blessed  Ones  in America  or the 
World  today,  who  does  not want  to see that  done  ? Then, 
do you  not understand,  Dear  Hearts,  what  a tragedy  it is, 
when  Individuals  are so unfortunate  as to be vicious  enough, 
to try and  oppose  these  Beloved  Messengers;  in the Free-
dom  and  Protection  which  they  alone  have  been  responsible 
for bringing  into  America;  to prevent  such  frightful  de-
struction  taking  place  in America  ? That  frightful  destruc-
tion is not only  thru  the cataclysmic  activity;  but  it is the 
destructive  thing  which  has been  generated  in Europe  for 
centuries,  which  would  one  day  try to sweep  the Earth! These  are Mighty  Truths,  Dear  Hearts. They  are not to 
try and  frighten  any  one;  but  mankind  needs  to know 
that in the Call  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  is the only 
Power  which  can  release  enough  energy,  to bring  about 
Protection  and  allow  the Great  Law  of your  Life  to act; 
to prevent  these  things  which  otherwise  must  be the ex-
perience  of mankind! 50 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
Mankind  has  gone  thru  thousands  of embodiments  in 
the experience  Life;  and  the people  have  not  gained  any 
Freedom  thru  it. Now  today,  when  the Light  of the World 
stands  before  you,  in the Understanding  of your  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence,"  and  the calling  of Its Power  into  action; 
then  think  what  It means  to you  in These  Wonderful 
Groups,  who  are issuing  These  Mighty  Decrees  with  dy-
namic  energy;  to go forth  in the mental  and  feeling  world 
of mankind! The  Mighty  Majestic  Far-reaching  Activity 
of Those  Decrees,  is beyond  the fondest  hopes  of any  hu-
man  intellect. Tonight,  We bring  to your  attention  from  the Great  Cos-
mic Light,  These  Mighty  Truths. If you  can  accept  This 
Truth  and  feel  Its Reality,  then  much  can  be done  during 
This  Class. We  brought  the Messengers  here  at this  time, 
to save  your  New  York. One  day,  not so far hence,  you  will 
know  the Truth  of My Words,  which  I have  spoken  to you 
tonight. Will  not  all of you  take  your  stand  for the Pro-
tection  and  Blessing  of this  Coming  Class,  so the Greatest 
Possible  Good  may  come  to New  York  out  of it, and  the 
Greatest  Harmony  possible? It is you,  Precious  Ones,  here 
who  need  it, not the Messengers;  but  their  Love  has been 
great  enough  to face  the frightful  destructive  feeling,  sent 
out from  these  vicious  ones  in the world  who  are acting 
here. The  Messengers'  Love  has been  great  enough  to give 
the Assistance. Beloved  Ones,  you  are Fortunate! Most  Fortunate! and 
one day,  you  will  every  one  of you  tell Me so and  repeat DISCOURSE  VIII  51 
back  to Me Those  Words. Will  you  think  for just  one  mo-
ment  what  It means  to have  become  a Part  of Myself! Now 
remember,  It is not this  physical  form  here  I am speaking 
of, It is My Own  Blazing  Form  of Light  of which  "I AM" 
speaking;  and  My  Own  Infinite  Intelligence,  by which 
"I AM"  flashing  These  Words  to this Good  Brother,  which 
he repeats  to you. You  have  become  a Part  of That  Self— 
Myself! Do you  think  you  would  ever  get away  from  Me? Think  of it! You  cannot  escape  now! Some  who  think  they 
might,  will  find  that  is a mistake. So Dear  Ones,  in the Glory  of your  privilege,  go forth 
in the Full  Power  of Joy  and  the Consciousness  of your 
Ability;  to call forth  from  your  Presence  This  Mighty  Free-
dom  and  Limitless  Activity  of Itself. Ask  It, to silence  your 
human  forever;  to hold  it bound  and  in obedience  to the 
Great  Law  of Life! Let  the Power  of your  Presence  flood 
your  world  to alone  act in your  world,  keeping  it Free 
from  human  qualification  of any  kind. If you  will  do that, 
Precious  Ones,  in so short  a time,  you  will  begin  to feel 
This  Power  releasing  from  the Light  within  you;  which 
will positively  give  you  all the Courage,  Confidence  and 
Freedom  in Its Perfection  which  every  Heart  in the World 
craves. So, tonight,  in My  Closing  Words,  I call  your  "Beloved 
Mighty  I Am  Presence"  to take  command  of each  mind 
and body;  silence  your  human  qualities;  and  cause  them  to 
remain  silent  and  obedient  to the Great  Light  within  your 
Heart! I call  That  Light  to take  Its Command;  to hold  Its 52 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
Dominion  and  to produce  Its Perfection  in you  and  your 
world! Then,  you  become  a Pillar  of Light,  thru  which  the 
Power  of the "I AM  Presence"  pours  forth  Its Radiance, 
into your  environment  everywhere. The Glory  of Our  Light  will  cause  people  to come  to 
you and  inquire  of the Glory,  of the Peace  and  the Love 
which  radiates  from  you! Then,  will  be your  opportunity 
to explain  to them  the Knowledge  of the Presence  and  the 
Chart;  which  gives  them  an Eye-picture  and  is a Powerful 
Means  of their  quickly  entering  into  the Full  Conscious-
ness of their  Presence;  and  the  Perfection  which  It will 
bring  forth  thru  them. It is not a matter  of can It, or will  It 
do so; but It does  do so! The  Light  of your  Being,  the Light 
of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  compels  It to go forth;  as 
you understand  and  harmonize  your  feeling  enough;  and 
stop the qualification  of that  mighty  Pure  Perfect  Energy 
which  stands  ever  ready  and  waiting,  to flood  you and  your 
world  with  Its Glory  and  Freedom  from  all limitations! Then  you  arise  into  your  Ascension! DISCOURSE  VI

NEW  YORK  CITY,  N. Y. 
Beloved  Children  of Earth,  your  Pilgrimage  is fast draw-
ing to a close;  and  out of That  Light  from  which  you  came, 
is flowing  forth  your  Victory. Can  you  with  Me compre-
hend  for a few moments,  the Light  from  which  you  came  ? The Light  which  is every  moment  beating  your  Heart; 
Out of That  Great  Fire-Breath  of God,  came  your  Individ-
ualization. The  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  projected  your 
Higher  Mental  Body,  then  the Ray  by which  your  human 
form  came  into  being! Contemplate  with  Me This  Mighty 
Reality  and  no longer  feel  yourselves  separate  from  that 
Great  Light  which  gives  you  Life! That  is your  Life! That 
is your  Intelligence  and  Power! We, who  know  so well  the Great  Freedom,  which  comes 
alone  from  the Light;  We  who  have  It, because  We have 
It, We know  you can too! Will  you  not enter  into  Our  Open 
Door,  thru  which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has invited  you  to 
come;  and  no longer  dwell  upon  the fragments  of human 
creations  ? Can  you  bear  it Oh,  Beloved  Children,  to face 
the Truth:  and  know  the fragments  of Life  which  you  are 
ordinarily  using,  are but the farthest  outer  covering  of the 
Light;  which  is your  Perfection,  into  which  you  may  enter, 
if you  will,  in the  Acknowledgment  of your  Presence, 
53 54 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
which  is All-Wise,  All-Powerful,  and  Whose  Light  fills  the 
Earth? Do not  let your  attention  go astray  longer,  for in your 
attention  to the  Presence,  comes  your  Eternal  Release. There  is naught  else  to set you  Free! Once  you  can  hold 
yourself  firm  to your  Presence,  acknowledging  It, calling  It 
into action,  then  quickly  comes  your  Release  and  Freedom! We, who  have  attained  the Victory,  know  all your  Re-
quirements,  perhaps  far better  than  you  could  even  imag-
ine. When  We  say to you,  We know  your  Victory  is CER-
TAIN,  can you  not accept  It and  let the Quality  which  We 
are knowing  for you,  enter  in and  perform  Its Perfect  Serv-
ice for you  ? It seems  to Me It is quite  practical,  quite  logical. Your  teacher  who  taught  you  mathematics,  who  taught 
you English,  had  attained  such  knowledge  up to that  point, 
wherein  he or she was  your  teacher. Today,  We who  have 
attained  Freedom  offer  Our  Services  to you;  because  We 
have  attained! Then  you  should  be as open  to This  Help  a 
far more  Transcendent  Privilege,  than  you  were  to your 
teacher  in the schools  of the physical  world. It is all quite  as practical;  still  It is Transcendent,  It is 
Unusual! Try  to feel This,  Beloved  Ones,  and  no longer  let 
human  concepts  cause  you  to doubt  again  and  fear. If 
someone  came  to you  and  said,  there  was  something  won-
derful,  marvelous,  over  here  in one  of your  magnificent 
buildings—would  you  hesitate  to go and  see for yourself, 
what  it was  and  that  it was  there  ? Would  you  disbelieve 
someone  and  think  that  Chicago  was  not in existence;  be-DISCOURSE  VIII  55 
cause  you  had  not been  there,  or in Los  Angeles  ? Do you 
not see how  inconsistent  the human  intellect  is ? It joyously, 
willingly  accepts  some  things  and  rebels  tremendously  at 
others;  most  of the time  at the things  which  would  give  it 
the Greatest  Freedom. Beloved  Saint  Germain  has  brought  to you  This  Tran-
scendent  Knowledge  of the "I AM"—every  Word  of which 
is True,  Vital,  Living,  Powerful! It is your  Freedom! The 
Messengers  have  pled  with  you,  offering  so kindly  every 
angle  of Explanation;  which  will  enable  you  to compre-
hend  and  understand,  that  It is your  Application  in your 
attention  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  compels 
your  Freedom. Notice! It compels  your  Freedom! It is not 
a matter  of can It be accomplished;  but  It does  compel  It 
at your  Call! Now  will  you  not accept  This  tonight  in Its Fulness? With  GREAT  FIRMNESS  set about  your  application, 
knowing  It cannot  fail. Then,  it only  means  a sufficient 
amount  of your  application  to produce  the results  you  re-
quire. Do not waver  in your  application. Go on, and  on, and 
on, until  results  are there. I tell you that  you  cannot  fail! All 
the Ascended  Ones  tell you  the same  thing,  because  of Their 
Own  Achievement! If you  let your  feeling  world  resist, 
then  you  but delay  your  Freedom;  but if you  will  call your 
Presence  to give  you  now,  the Full  Feeling  of Its Victory, 
your  Victory—then,  do you  not see how  quickly,  you  will 
enter  into  the Fulness  of Its Power? Joyous,  Wonderful  is the Privilege  within  your  grasp! 56 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
Do not give  way  to human  concepts,  to human  impulses 
which  would  say to you:  "Oh  no, no, you  are just deceiving 
yourself,  you  are not  gaining  the  Victory  you  think  you 
are." That  is what  your  human  intellect  would  say to you. Then  you  say to it: "You  have  no power! No longer  do you 
govern  my world! You  have  led me into  limitations  for the 
last time! Now  then  step  aside! Get  out of my way! "I AM" 
going  into  the Light! "I AM"  going  into  the Light!" The 
Life that  enables  you  to speak  Those  Words,  is the Power 
which  carries  you  forward  to Victory  in the Light! There 
is naught  which  can  stay  your  progress—naught  that  can 
stay the Expansion  of your  Light! Stand  firm  and  unyield-
ing! Know  your  Victory  is Certain! Why? Because  God, 
the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  is beating  your  Heart 
and giving  you  Life  is your  Certain  Victory! Naught 
in the world  can  prevent  It—not  even  your  own  human 
creation! Remember,  one-third  of your  accumulation  of the cen-
turies  has been  dissolved  and  consumed  for you! One-third 
of your  probation  is set aside! Oh,  can you  not,  will  you  not, 
accept  THAT  in the  Fulness  of what  It means  to you? Try,  for one  moment,  to comprehend  what  It means! Ask 
your  Presence  to give  you  the Full  Comprehension  of what 
It means  to you;  of the Great  Assistance  which  is being 
given;  of the Great  Cosmic  Light  which  makes  all possible 
for you  now. In the great  quantity  of disembodied  intelligences  which 
are being  taken  out of the atmosphere  of Earth,  you  will DISCOURSE  VIII  57 
be Greatly  Blest. That  could  not be done  before. Will  you 
not with  Me,  try in My Radiance,  to comprehend  the Vast-
ness of this? Oh,  the Limitless  Assistance  being  given  to 
mankind! It is as your  people  say in California—so  "Un-
usual"  ! Beloved  Ones,  enter  into  This  Comprehension  now 
—as I utter  Those  Words! Feel  It! Enter  into  your  compre-
hension  so It may  act within  your  world  All-powerfully! I rejoice  that  I have  been  able  to render  you  and  your 
city This  Service  and  how  far reaching  It is. Will  you  not 
enter  into  it Individually,  and  in your  Groups,  sustaining 
the Greatest  Harmony  possible? I do not  ask  you  to be 
wholly  Perfect;  but I do ask you  to maintain  Harmony  In-
dividually  and  in your  groups;  so the Completeness  of This 
which  is now  set into  operation,  may  claim  Its Great  Vic-
tory before  the end  of this  year! We  are doing  everything 
possible  for your  Assistance  and  for your  city. It seems  to 
Me all, every  one  in your  city,  should  be willing  to accept 
Our Assistance  and  co-operate  with  It, to the Fulness  of all 
It means  to you. Oh, how  great  is the  Rejoicing  of the  Great  Host  of 
Light;  because  so many  of mankind  are  understanding 
This  Great  Presence;  calling  It into  action  for the Blessing 
of all. For your  encouragement,  this  morning  in Europe,  a 
Transcendent  Miracle  was  performed. I doubt  not you  will 
see mention  of it in your  papers. Go on, and  on, and  on, 
Beloved  Ones,  in your  Mighty  Call  to your  Presence;  in 
your  Mighty  Decrees,  flooding  the  mental  and  feeling 
world  of mankind  with  Our  Great  Perfection;  for the Call 58 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
in Those  Decrees  which  are sent  forth  like  a rocket,  does  do 
Its Perfect  Work. Great,  Great  is your  Privilege  in giving  This  Assistance  to 
America  and  the World! Glorify  yourselves  as you  feel the 
Transcendent  Privilege  which  is yours! Tonight,  while 
These  Words  are being  spoken  to you,  the Final  Activity  is 
being  given  for your  Freedom,  if you  will  accept  It. There  are many  of you  who  have  seemed  to have  the 
appearance  of age,  who  can transform  yourselves  in a short 
time. Won't  you  try it, knowing  that  your  Life  only  requires 
Harmony  in your  feeling,  to Beautify,  Perfect  and  bring 
back  to your  form,  its youth  and  beauty  ? It is not vain  to 
wish  to be beautiful,  in order  to express  Perfection. It is not 
vain  to have  a form  of Perfect  Health,  to respond  to your 
desire  for Service  to the  Light  and  produce  Perfection! Mankind  just  lost  the way  and  now  is finding  It again,  in 
Our Home  of Eternal  Perfection,  the "Mighty  I AM." To-
night,  let us think  of it, as a Great  Home  Coming. Forget 
this building,  your  old world  for a moment. FEEL  you 
have  entered  into  This  New  World,  where  all the buildings 
are Beautiful  and  Perfect;  where  there  is Happiness  and 
all good  things. Then  in THAT  FEELING,  charge  your 
feeling  world  with  Its Reality,  Eternally  Sustained. As you 
go into  the outer  world  again,  you  will  find  Completeness, 
Abundant  Supply,  soon  finding  its appearance  in your 
world  and  use. Call often  on the Law  of Forgiveness  for all mistakes,  and 
then  say:  "Beloved  Mighty  I AM  Presence! thru  your DISCOURSE  VIII  59 
Mighty  Violet  Consuming  Flame,  wipe  out all memory,  all 
appearance  of mistakes  which  has  found  action  in my 
world." See how  soon  changes  will  take  place;  and  in the 
place  of that  which  has been  disturbing  and  terrifying,  will 
come  Peace  and  Rest  which  passeth  understanding. Then, 
out of the Presence  will  pour  everything  you  require. It is 
a Law  of your  Being. It cannot  fail! You are the Decreer  of your  world! Decree  Its Perfection! Turn  your  attention  where  Perfection  is, and  Perfection 
must  flow  back  in response,  to fill your  world! It is Power-
ful! It is Certain! It cannot  fail,  and  I join  Saint  Germain 
in His  Invitation:  Come  Oh,  Beloved  Ones! Enter  thru 
Those  Gates  of Freedom,  into  the World  of your  "Mighty  I 
AM Presence,"  and  have  in use,  all It holds  for you! The Love  of the Entire  Ascended  Host,  the Great  Cos-
mic Beings,  the Gods  of the Mountains  and  the Angelic 
Host,  pour  forth  to you  now;  and  will  continue  to do so 
for your  Strength,  Encouragement  and  your  Victory! Feel 
and accept  Its Fulness! I glorify  you  in My  Love  and  Light! My  Strength  and 
Courage  are your  Scepter! Stand  forth! Stand  forth! My 
Victory  is yours! Claim  It! Feel  It, and  then  find  Its Full 
Expression  in your  Life  and  world! While  the  Messengers'  human  forms  are absent  from 
your  city,  never  forget  for a day,  the Glory  of your  Victory 
now! Each  day,  as your  Light  expands,  feel  more  and 
more  Its Out-pouring. Then  when  they  return,  let the Ful-
ness of It find  Expression  in holding  your  city in the Glory 60 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
of That  Light  which  knows  no shadow,  and  never  fails  in 
Its Action! You  are That  Light! You  are the Guardians 
of That  Light! Claim  Its Fulness  and  abide  therein! Your 
Victory  is certain,  because  "I AM"  the  Victory  of every 
child  of Earth! In Fondest  Love,  We  enfold  you,  Oh Beloved  Children 
of the Light. DISCOURSE  VI 
PHILADELPHIA,  PENN. May  23,  7937 
Your  Infinite  Opportunity,  Oh  Children  of Earth,  is 
filled  with  a Charged  Glory,  yet unknown  and  experienced 
by mankind. Yours  is the Joy,  the Happiness,  the Power  of 
having  come  to know  your  own  God-Self,  the "Mighty  I 
AM." You  may  wonder  why  so many  times  the expression 
is used—"Your  'Mighty  I AM  Presence'";  because  It is the 
Mightiest  Intelligence  in the Universe—the  Governor  of 
your  worlds,  if you  please,  and  the Governor  of the Whole 
Universe! It has provided  for you  a Higher  Mental  Body, 
Your  Own  Christ  Self,  by which  It releases  Its Powers  to 
YOU  WITHOUT  LIMIT. When  you  will  once  set aside  human  desire,  or call your 
Presence  into  action  to give  you  the Strength  to set aside, 
your  human  concepts;  and  allow  the Light  of your  Presence 
to illumine  your  Mind  and  charge  your  feeling  world  with 
Its Mighty  Harmony;  then  you  will  quickly  enter  into  all 
Freedom  which  is yours. Do not longer  allow  your  human  concepts  to dominate 
your  world  and  limit  you! There  is no limitation  in all 
the Universe,  but that  which  Individuals  create  for them-
selves  ! I say to you  tonight,  every  one of you  has the Power 
to release  yourself  at once,  if you  will! We  see and  know 
within  your  Heart  the Light,  the Power  and  Ability  which 
61 62 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
are there! I say to you,  assert  your  Dominion! Do not allow 
your  human  self longer  to dominate  you! Because  you  might  have  made  mistakes;  and  because 
you have  surrounded  yourself  by your  own  human  creation, 
still they  have  no other  power  except  what  you  give  them! I say to you tonight:  Assert  your  Dominion  in the Power  of 
the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence;  and  no longer  al-
low the outer  world,  to limit  or deprive  you  of that  which 
your  Great  God-Self  holds  ready  to release  at any  given 
moment;  when  Enough  Love,  Enough  Kindness,  Enough 
Harmony  go forth  from  your  feeling  world  to that  Mighty 
Presence. Then,  will  the Door  be opened  wide—the  doors 
of doubt  and  fear  swept  aside,  by the Hands  of your  Pres-
ence;  to glorify  you  and  send  you  forth  a Glorified  Being  of 
Freedom. No longer  need  mankind  remain  in chains  of its own 
forging! Only  as the people  refuse  to accept,  apply  and  con-
tinue  to apply,  until  the results  are there,  may  they  be de-
prived  of Freedom. You are  Beings  of Light! Do  not  allow  yourselves  to 
linger  longer  in the world  of human  creations! You  have 
learned,  you  have  found  your  Source! You  have  found  and 
have  the Scepter  of Dominion  in your  hand,  by the Accept-
ance  of your  Presence,  your  "Mighty  I AM." Allow  It by 
Harmony  maintained,  to flow  forth  into  your  world  like  a 
Mighty  River  and  produce  Its Perfection  there. On the Planets  whose  Light  has expanded  more  than  the 
Earth,  there  are those  Beings  of Natural  Light  and  Free-DISCOURSE  VIII  63 
dom. On your  Beloved  Venus,  whose  Assistance  has so long 
come  to the Earth,  They  know  what  Peace  and  Harmony 
mean. They  live  in the  Glory  of Its Infinite  Expression 
naturally! So you  of Earth  shall  come  to know—notice 
Those  Words—SHALL  COME  TO  KNOW  your  Do-
minion,  in the  Acceptance  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence." There  is no power  of human  creation  or otherwise, 
which  will  longer  have  power  to detain  you,  in your  world 
of human  creation! The Great  Cosmic  Light  has  said:  "You  must  produce 
More  Light,  for there  must  come  changes  within  the Earth, 
which  will  cause  It to be produced"! Your  opportunity 
is here,  Oh Beloved  Children,  if you  will  call your  Presence 
forth  and  stand  by It; never  doubting  or fearing  Its Ability 
to flood  your  world  with  Its Harmony  and  Perfection. Those  who  still  insist  upon  sending  forth  discord  from 
their  feeling  world,  must  reap  its result. Make  no mistake 
about  that! How  gladly  We would  lift you  out of all those 
human  creations,  if you  would  but  just  be FIRM  AND 
STRONG. Glorify  yourself  in the Fulness  of the Oppor-
tunity  which  is yours. Then,  you  will  find  the Glory  of that 
Freedom  filling  your  world  and  causing  it to be the Per-
fection  which  every  Heart  knows;  and  has been  reaching 
and reaching  and  reaching  to find. Your  Light  is the Light  of God! You  have  heard  the 
expression:  "America  is the Heart  of the Earth;  the Land 
°f the  'I AM';  the  Land  in which  must  come  the  First 
Ascended  Master  Freedom  to mankind"! 64 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
May  I remind  you  tonight,  your  Goddess  of Liberty  in 
the Harbor  of New  York  is but the symbol  of the Great 
Being,  Who  will  one day come  to be known  to the children 
of Earth! I say to you,  one day That  Great  Being,  shall  stand 
in the midst  of mankind  visible  to all! Then  the Earth  will 
know  what  Harmony  means. Try to understand,  Oh Beloved  Ones,  everything  which 
irritates  or disturbs  you,  is just  the human  creation  which 
wants  to longer  hold  its dominion  within  and  about  you. It 
should  be your  signal  to call your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence" 
into action,  to take  command  of you  and  your  world. There  is no power  to harm  you,  even  of your  own  crea-
tion,  Beloved  Ones! There  is no power,  I say to you,  which 
has power  to harm  you  even  of your  own  creations,  in the 
Acknowledgment  of your  Presence! Please,  Oh  Beloved 
Students  of Saint  Germain,  know  that  neither  your  own 
creation  nor any  one's  else  has power  to limit  or harm  you! Even  the discarnate  entities  have  no power  to touch  you  or 
harm  you,  if you  will  take  your  stand  in the Presence  of 
Light  and  say to them:  "Be  gone"! Do not yield  to those  things  thru  superstition,  or belief, 
or by suggestion. The  world  is full of suggestions. Be Firm! you do not have  to accept  them. Be Firm! I plead  with  you! Don't  accept  suggestions  from  anything  or anybody. If you 
will draw  That  Tube  of Light  about  you,  you  will  have  an 
Invincible  Protection;  which  does  not allow  suggestions  of 
any kind,  to charge  your  world  or find  entrance  there. I 
say to you  now:  Be Firm! Be Firm! Be Firm! DISCOURSE  VIII  65 
There  is no power  to act except  your  Presence,  when 
once  you  come  to know  It! Become  serene! Issue  your  De-
crees! either  for the Freedom  of America  or the removal 
of discarnates,  and  then  go on about  your  work. Do not 
allow  your  contemplation  to be on that  which  you  do not 
want. You  compel  it to come  into  your  world  if you  do; 
but stand  firm  in the Fulness  of your  Presence,  which  is the 
All-Power  of your  world. Remember,  your  Higher  Mental  Body  will  release  in-
stantly  into  your  body  and  world,  everything  you  require, 
if you  will  but realize  it! If you  will  but feel  the Fulness  of 
Its Power  at your  Call. Feel  It flow  thru! Even  as I speak 
These  Words! Feel  that  Power  flow  thru  you  from  your 
Presence—an  Invincible  Activity,  forever  sustained  and  ac-
tive within  your  minds  and  bodies. It is True! It shall  re-
main  so within  you,  unless  you  insist  upon  allowing  your 
attention  to go and  be fastened  upon  discordant  things! We are in This  Class,  making  a Tremendous  Effort  to 
set you  Free—every  one  here! If you  will  but follow  Our 
Explanations  and  refuse  to let fears  or doubts  trouble  you, 
then  you  will  have  no struggle! I say to you,  doubts  and 
fears  no longer  have  power  to hold  or bind  you. Doubts 
and fears  are dissolved  from  your  world! Whatever  has 
been  accumulated  there  is dissolved. If you  allow  your  at-
tention  to be on doubts  and  fears  again,  the fault  is yours! In This  Class  they  have  been  removed  from  your  world. You are given  the  Opportunity  to stand  firm  with  your 
Presence,  and  no longer  experience  what  you  have  created. 66 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
Remember,  I have  said  to the Students  of Saint  Germain 
in America,  one-third  of all your  accumulation  of discord 
has been  dissolved  for you  in your  world,  and  I mean  Every 
Word  of it! One-third  of what  would  be considered  in the 
old occult  parlance,  one-third  of your  probation  has  been 
set aside  for you—all  the  Students  in America  and  the 
World,  of the "I AM,"  under  Beloved  Saint  Germain. Will 
you not accept  This  and  let the Fulness  of Its Power  act in 
your  world,  to produce  Perfection  for you  ? Beloved  Ones,  is it so difficult  to realize,  that  We  are 
Wholly  Free  Beings  wielding  Infinite  Power,  today  coming 
to render  Assistance  to the Children  of Earth  ? Is it so diffi-
cult to feel It ? Is it so difficult  to accept  the Infinite  Power 
of Love  and  Freedom  which  We  offer  ? Is it so difficult  in 
the Acknowledgment  of the  Presence,  to maintain  Self-
control  ? It means  Harmony  in your  world,  which  allows 
these  Great  Currents  of Energy,  not only  from  your  Pres-
ence,  but  Those  Great  Cosmic  Currents  to go forth  with 
Their  added  Strength  and  Power—to  strengthen  and  en-
courage  you  to keep  on with  your  Call  to the Presence;  until 
every  particle  of resistance  in your  feeling  world  has failed 
to find  power  of action;  and  is dissolved  by your  attention 
held  to your  Presence—the  Power  and  Presence  of all Light! Sufficient  human  creation  has been  dissolved  for you  in 
your  feeling  world,  to let you  have  your  Mastery  quickly 
from  today. Will  you  not understand,  feel,  believe  and  ac-
cept these—My  Words  to you  ? I say to you,  in this ten days, 
sufficient  has  been  dissolved  in the world  of every  one  of DISCOURSE  VIII  67 
you, to let you  go Free  in the Full  Power  of your  Applica-
tion and  Freedom  from  today  on. Now  then,  when  you  can accept  that,  and allow  Its Power 
to act,  with  your  earnest,  firm,  sincere  Application—you 
will find  things  in your  world  all reversed. Do not  yield 
longer  to the appearance  world  as having  power. When 
I say to you,  sufficient  accumulation  has been  dissolved  from 
your  world,  to give  you  the Strength  and  Power  needed,  to 
go forward  from  this  day,  Free  Beings,  will  you  refuse  to 
accept  it again  ? It is done,  if you  will  turn  away  from  every-
thing  which  has disturbed  you;  and  keep  holding  your  at-
tention  to your  Presence—not  all day;  but three  times  a day 
for thirty  minutes,  will  enable  you  to hold  your  Dominion 
and Freedom. Will  you  not accept  this  and  have  the Joy and  Freedom 
which  is here  for you? Just  feel Our  Freedom  now! This  is 
not suggestion  to you,  It is simply  calling  your  attention  to 
that which  has been  accomplished  for you;  so you  may  feel 
more  fully  Its Reality;  until  you  see SUFFICIENT  OUT-
WARD  MANIFESTATION  in your  Life  and  world,  for 
you to know  definitely  the Truth  of which  I speak  to you 
this moment. YOU  MUST  BE  FIRM! YOU  MUST  BE  DETER-
MINED  FOR  YOUR  FREEDOM! You  must  be deter-
mined  in saying  to all appearances:  "You  have  no power"! It is True,  if you  will  say it to appearances  which  are dis-
turbing  and  mean  it and  feel  it! Instantly  all your  world 
will stand  Free  from  human  appearance!

as you  do that,  can  you  have  evidence  of the  Perfection 
which  you  long  to have  flow  forth  like  a river  into  your

"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  thru  Whom  We  must  work. Will  you  not do this. Will  you  not feel  the Truth  of Life—the  Law  of Life, 
which  stands  always  ready  to give  you  your  Freedom. It is

hours,  you,  who  have  been  drawn  under  This  Mighty 
Radiation  of Saint  Germain,  are given  Protection  and  As-
sistance. He watches  from  the Great  Octave  of Light  and 
when  He is busy  in other  fields  of Activity,  He always  has 
those  who  stand  on guard  to take  His place,  and  watch  over 
His Children—the  Students  of the Light. Whenever  it is 
necessary,  They  are  pouring  forth  Their  Enfolding  Ra-
diance  and  Strength  to encourage,  to bless,  to heal,  to pros-
per all; and  most  of the students  have  no idea  that  it is being 
done. Won't  you  accept  this  and  feel  Their  Courage  and 
Strength,  to give  you  Help  and  always  know  you  are en-
folded  and  guarded;  so you  are never  really  alone. 28 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
Beloved  Ones,  I enfold  you  in My  Mantle  of Love. I 
charge  your  feeling  world  with  Peace,  with  Self-control, 
with  Mastery. Will  you  accept  It, with  the same  Love  with 
which  I give  It forth  to you. If you  will,  then  you  are Free 
from  tonight. I convey  the  Love  of Beloved  Nada,  of our  Beloved 
Brother  Jesus,  of the Great  Host  of Ascended  Masters  and 
the Cosmic  Beings,  Who  are ministering  to mankind. The 
Beloved  Lanto  at the Retreat  of the Royal  Teton  and  Those 
in the Retreat  in Arabia,  send  Their  Love  to the students 
of America. Already  in India,  the Masters,  not yet ascended, 
are receiving  and  acknowledging  the  Beauty  of This 
Knowledge  of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  Saint 
Germain  has brought  forth. More  and  more,  you  will  find 
them  giving  expression  to It. I ask you,  Precious  Children  of the Light,  to stand  guard 
over  your  world;  and  if anything  or any  person  attempts 
to belittle  Saint  Germain's  Activity,  take  you  cue  at once 
and be absent. I give  you  This  as a standard,  to watch  and 
protect  yourselves  from  unfortunate  suggestions. If you 
care to do This,  then  the Pathway  is open. The  doorways 
of doubt  and  fear  are nailed  back  for you. Will  you  not 
feel that;  and  go forth  thru  those  doors,  into  the Eternal 
Freedom  of your  "I AM  Presence". The  Privilege  is yours. The Power  is yours. The  Authority  is yours. I invite  you  to 
step thru. In the Eternal  Love  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and 
My Mantle  of Love,  We enfold  you  unto  your  Freedom  and DISCOURSE  III 29

you. DISCOURSE  III 53 
April  2i, 7937 
NEW  YORK  CITY 
Children  of the  Light,  of the  One  Great  Father,  the 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence". How  fortunate  you  are after 
long,  long  centuries  of your  pilgrimage  upon  Earth,  in 
various  embodiments  similar  to this;  always  reaching  out 
thru  the Heart. Yet the intellect  has been  constantly  refus-
ing the Feeling,  the Action  of the Heart;  having  forgotten 
completely  that  the Heart  was  the Place  of Divine  Action. It is True  today,  as it was  in the Beginning;  because  your 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"  is anchored  in your  Heart. It 
makes  your  Physical  Heart,  the Heart  of your  "Mighty  I 
AM Presence"—in  action. As you  come  to know,  that  your 
Presence  is above  you,  then  giving  It your  attention,  it 
brings  into  your  outer  world  of activity,  the Power  of your 
Presence—whose  Anchorage  in the octave  of the human 
Life,  is in your  Physical  Heart. Will  you  be kind  enough,  Precious  Ones,  to hold  that 
thought  tonight—while  I am dictating  to you;  and  feel  It 
earnestly,  because  it is My Desire  to do a Definite  Work, 
while  These  Words  are being  voiced  to you. As you  know,  beginning  in San  Francisco,  I came  at 
Beloved  Saint  Germain's  Request,  to assist  the People  of 
Earth. I came  forth  from  My Home  in the Light,  after  hav-
30 DISCOURSE  III  31 
ing rendered  the  Service  in India,  as described  in the 
"Magic  Presence. " Saint  Germain,  after  working  for so many  centuries  for 
mankind,  determined  to try to awaken  people  again. Every 
time  He would  raise  them  to a certain  point,  rebellion  in 
the human  feeling  at the discipline  required—for  the Re-
lease  of the Mighty  Energy  from  their  own  God  Presence, 
would  swing  them  aside. In Our  Discussions,  We had  to decide  what  was  the most 
Powerful  means,  by which  This  Assistance  could  be given 
mankind. I said  to Him:  "I am willing  to try with  You  and 
make  a Final  Effort,  to release  the Light  within  enough  of 
mankind,  so the people  may  have  the Blessings,  which  It 
holds  for them". The Light  in your  body  comes  from  your  "Beloved 
Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  nowhere  else. The  persons 
who  do not believe  the "I AM  Presence"  is there,  as de-
scribed  in This  Chart,  will  remain  in their  chains. No one 
may  say they  shall  not do so, if they  wish. That  is within  the 
choice  of the Individual;  but I tell you,  never  in the history 
of the Earth,  has there  been  such  Tremendous  Release  of 
Light  and  Energy  to bless  mankind,  as is coming  forth  at 
this time. We are not compelling  humanity  to accept  and  use This; 
but We can and  do give  It forth  with  Greater  and  Greater 
Release  of Power  and  Energy;  as the students'  attention  to 
their  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  prepares  them  for It. If they 
will FEEL  the Directions  given,  there  is not a thing  in the 32 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
world  which  can prevent  their  Freedom,  Success  and  their 
Ascension. I want  you  to realize  tonight,  if you  will,  Precious  Ones, 
there  is no time  in human  Life  and  experience,  when  man-
kind  has not been  guarded  by Those  Great  Ascended  Be-
ings and  the  Great  Cosmic  Beings. Otherwise  mankind 
would  not exist  today;  because  of the accumulation  of the 
discordant  creations,  which  the people  have  drawn  into  the 
atmosphere  of Earth. Their  accumulated  discord  is the so-
called  astral  or psychic  world. In it, there  is nothing  but 
destructive  qualities,  generated  and  brought  forth  by man-
kind  thruout  the countless  centuries;  ever  since  mankind 
turned  away  from  the  Acknowledgment  of each  one's 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence";  and  that  is many,  many  centuries 
ago. (On December  2, 1939,  the Ascended  Masters  finished  consuming  the astral 
or psychic  plane  over  the United  States  of America;  and  they  removed  all 
the discarnates  over  America  at the same  time. ) I would  not  care  to even  draw  your  attention  to the 
length  of time;  but  today,  for the first  time  in the history 
of the Earth,  there  has  been  released  This  Knowledge  of 
the Ascended  Masters  in Its minutest  detail;  so mankind, 
if the people  will  take  advantage  of this,  thru  their  calls  to 
the Presence,  can  free  themselves  wholly  and  completely. By the Use  of the  Violet  Consuming  Flame,  they  can 
release  themselves  from  every  discordant  thing,  which  they 
have  ever  drawn  about  them. The  Individual,  who  is foolish 
enough  not  to wish  to use the Violet  Consuming  Flame, 
will remain  in his chains  and  limitations. Without  the Use DISCOURSE  III  33 
of It, you cannot  free  yourself  from  your  own  creations;  and 
so far as It being  harmful  is concerned,  that  is positively 
foolish;  for the reason  the human  cannot  produce  the Violet 
Consuming  Flame. Your  Presence,  Who  is All Perfection, 
is the Only  One,  aside  from  the Ascended  Masters,  who  can 
produce  that  Violet  Consuming  Flame. At your  call,  the 
Presence  rushes  It thru  your  body  and  thru  your  world  of 
activity  and  creations;  dissolving  all discordant  creations 
from  you  and  your  world. That  is the way,  It sets  you  Free 
and is the Means  by which  you  can,  thru  the Assistance  of 
your  Presence  and  the Call  to the Ascended  Masters,  so pu-
rify your  body,  the Presence  can  enable  you  to make  the 
Ascension. The use  of the Tube  of Light  about  you  is IMPERA-
TIVE  today. If you  wish  to move  in your  world,  untouched 
by the discordant  human  creation  about  you,  It is the only 
way you can do it. While  the Messengers  are here  with  you,  We  shall  en-
deavor  to make  this  so absolutely  clear  in every  detail;  all 
those  who  want  to, may  have  the Clearness,  the  Under-
standing  and  the Power  released  within  them,  of the Appli-
cation  which  will  set them  Free  during  this  class. We have  no desire  to intrude  anything  upon  any  one; 
but Precious  Ones,  there  must  be Tremendous  Power  in 
This  Light  being  released  thru  these  Blessed  Messengers, 
when  there  is such  furious  opposition  to them  as there  is 
today. Never  has  such  vicious  violent  opposition  touched 
anything,  which  has  ever  come  forth  in America,  as these 34 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
two Precious  Ones  have  had  to face,  in the carrying  forth  of 
This  Light. They  have  never  asked  anything  of any  one, 
except  to love  his or her  own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence" 
and harmonize  himself  or herself. They  have  never  given 
forth  anything  but  Love,  Kindness  and  Harmony. Yet 
this viciousness  persists;  and  even  the concentration  of it 
going  on all over  the United  States;  by individuals  trying 
to interfere  with  the Spreading  of This  Light. In Los  Angeles,  in the Pan  Pacific  Class,  Beloved  Ones, 
everything  was  attempted  the human  could  think  of, to try 
and prevent  that  class. Well,  it was  more  wonderful  than 
ever. Much  of the same  thing  is being  done  in New  York, 
to try to prevent  the class  here;  but the class  will  go on un-
touched. " (And  it did. ) These  unfortunate  individuals,  who  think  they  are op-
posing  the Ballards  and  accusing  them  of all kinds  of things 
—every  word  of which  is falsehood,  do they  think  for one 
moment,  they  are opposing  the Ballards. The  Ballards  have 
not a thing  to do with  it, except  to carry  This  Light;  and 
they  have  had  the Courage  to face  the "lions  on the path 
and make  them  Airedales,"  as Mrs. Shinn  says. Dear  Hearts, 
it is the Great  Cosmic  Light  which  these  unfortunate  indi-
viduals  are facing,  not the Ballards. If Mr. and  Mrs. Ballard 
should  suddenly  ASCEND,  do you  think  This  Work 
would  stop. As your  phrase  is used—"Not  on your  Life. " You see We very  often  use your  own  expression,  because 
it goes  home  clearly  ofttimes. I tell you,  Dear  Ones,  those 
unfortunate  beings  will  meet  their  own  destruction—every DISCOURSE  III  35 
one of them—who  opposes  This  Light  and  these  Blessed 
Ones. They  give  forth  nothing  in this  world  but Love  and 
kindness. They  do give  forth  the Truth  which  will  liberate 
and free  every  one  of mankind;  if each  one  will  apply  It 
with  earnestness  and  determination. It will  not apply  Itself. After  the Messengers  returned  from  Honolulu  last  sum-
mer,  Their  Work  so far as their  Requirements  in This  Ac-
tivity  were  concerned,  was  finished. Saint  Germain  came 
to them  in His  Tangible  Body  and  said:  "Now  you  are 
Free". If you  wish  to do so, you  do not  have  to go on 
and battle  farther  in this,"  and  they  said:  "Our  joy is to 
serve. If we can be of further  Service,  then  we are ready  to 
continue  on;  until  enough  of mankind  understand  their 
own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  to hold  the Balance  for man-
kind  and  set the rest of them  Free. " Do you  wonder,  Beloved  Ones  of New  York,  why  the 
Messengers  have  been  so unyielding  and  firm;  in demand-
ing and  holding  every  one  firm  and  close  to the Books 
which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  forth. Because  the 
Truth  is there  Unadulterated—the  Ascended  Masters' 
Words  and  Understanding—in  which  there  is no human 
concept. Because  Their  Words  are Power  and  are Cups  of 
the Qualities  which  They  carry. This  Understanding  will 
set mankind  Free,  as nothing  else  will  do. It is not,  that  there  are not many  wonderful  things  in the 
world;  but  We  know  This  Knowledge  is Unadulterated 
and COMPLETE  as given. It is that  which  We  used. All 
of the Ascended  Masters  have  used  identically  the Same 36 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
Application,  even  the  Same  Wording  and  Expression, 
which  is given  to you  by Saint  Germain. All of this  is given 
and held  Unadulterated  and  Uninterfered  with. It will  give 
you your  Freedom  from  limitations  most  quickly  and  your 
Ascension,  if you  will  so decree  It. The Beauty  and  Power  of It is, that  any  one  who  will 
start  now,  can  in this  embodiment  have  his or her Ascen-
sion. If such  Individuals'  Light  has  not  expanded  suffi-
ciently  for the Accomplishment  within  this  embodiment, 
they  will  come  back  in the Full  Understanding  of this  "I 
AM Presence";  because  they  will  be trained  in between  em-
bodiments  in the Knowledge  of their  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence". They  will  come  back  in the next  embodiment,  make 
the Ascension;  and  have  their  Eternal  Freedom  in that  em-
bodiment. These  are Mighty  Truths,  Dear  Hearts,  you  can 
believe  them  or not. We are not concerned,  Precious  Ones,  as the Messengers 
have  said  in their  class,  who  accepts  or don't. Their  part  is 
to offer  This  Light  and  Its Application;  and  the people  can 
take It and  apply  It to their  Freedom,  if they  will. We never 
try to urge—I  will  not say,  We do not "try  to urge"  for We 
do sometimes;  but We never  coerce,  because  mankind  must 
come  in, by its own  Free  will. It is your  Eternal  Freedom,  because  everything  you  do 
thru  your  "I AM  Presence,"  becomes  an Established  Activ-
ity of the Power  of the Presence  in your  feeling  world. It be-
comes  the Presence  in action,  to the degree  you  have  called 
Its Power  forth  and  It becomes  anchored  there. DISCOURSE  III  37 
We are talking  Heart  to Heart  here,  and  I say:  "As  long 
as the students  listen  to the unhappy  gossip,  the criticism 
and the frightful  falsehoods,  which  these  vicious  individ-
uals have  put  forth  concerning  the  Messengers,  the  stu-
dents  will  remain  in their  limitations. The  Messengers  will 
go on doing  their  Work  and  themselves  be wholly  Free; 
but the  student  who  accepts  falsehoods,  will  remain  in 
limitations. " Dear  Hearts,  it is so Self-evident. How  can  any  one  fail 
to grasp  it. The  Messengers  have  pled  with  the students 
thruout  these  more  than  two  years. They  have  said  so often, 
Harmony  is the IMPORTANT  ACTIVITY  within  the 
feeling  world  of mankind;  in order  to allow  the Power  of 
the Presence  to have  Its Dominion  within  the  physical 
mind  and  body  of mankind,  to produce  Its Perfection 
there. Without  Harmony,  you continue  to clothe  the Mighty 
Energy,  which,  if left  in Its Natural  Harmonious  State, 
would  quickly  and  readily  set you  Free. There  is only  one 
way to stop  clothing  it, and  that  is to hold  Harmony  in your 
feeling  all the time. With  all the ugly  things  which  have  been  said  to this 
good  brother  and  Mrs. Ballard,  never  an unkind  thought  or 
feeling  goes  out,  even  to those  who  do it. Because  you  see 
them  powerful,  firm  and  positive,  don't  ever  make  the 
mistake,  of thinking  that  any feeling  goes  out but Love  and 
kindness. They  have  learned  the Law  and  they  are living 
It, an Eternal  Example  to mankind,  if the people  will  but 
see it. 38 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES 
I want  you  to know  tonight,  not only  you  Precious  Ones 
here,  but every  earnest  sincere  student  in New  York;  that 
from  My  Body,  goes  out a Ray  of Light  and  Energy  into 
every  Heart  and  each  one's  feeling  world;  preparing  them 
for this  class  beginning  on Saturday;  so they  may  have  the 
greatest  possible  benefit  from  it. Then,  if Harmony  is main-
tained,  how  do you  know,  how  soon  the Messengers  may 
come  again. You will  notice,  Precious  Ones,  whenever  the Messengers 
have  been  able  to reach  cities  twice  a year,  Harmony  and 
Marvelous  Activity  have  been  maintained. Let  us all join 
like one  Mighty  Wall  of Light,  all students  in New  York, 
in One  Great  Loving  Harmonious  Accord. For  what. Not 
just your  own  Individual  Expansion  of your  Light,  which 
will naturally  come;  but  for the mighty  imperative  need 
for the Protection  of America. Beloved  Ones,  you  cannot  imagine  and  I shall  not  at-
tempt  to voice  to you,  what  stands  before  you;  to be con-
quered  in the Protection  of America. These  Precious  Mes-
sengers  have  pled  with  mankind  thruout  these  two  years, 
more  and  more  powerfully  for that  need. However,  one 
day you  will  see how  Great  has been  their  Love  and  Bless-
ing for America. In These  Mighty  Decrees  which  have  gone  forth  for the 
Protection  and  blessing  of America,  I tell you  Dear  Hearts, 
you would  not  be here  today,  if it had  not  been  done. Now  the foolishness  in mankind  may  believe  that  or not; 
but We know  This  Truth  only  too well;  and  if humanity DISCOURSE  III  39 
will not listen,  then  experience  must  be the teacher  and 
you know  experience  is a terrific  teacher,  is it not. Won't  you  turn  to your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  call 
the Power  of the Violet  Consuming  Flame  into  action,  to 
dissolve  and  consume  every  discordant  thing  from  your 
world. Then,  enter  quickly  into  Joy and  Freedom  which 
the Presence  holds  for you;  instead  of going  on in the ex-
perience  Life,  and  thru  the discord  in your  feeling,  pass  out 
of these  bodies  and  come  again  into  a similar  condition. Beloved  Ones,  do you  not see mankind  has  been  doing 
this very  identical  thing,  thru  the centuries. There  is only 
one thing  in the Universe,  which  can solve  the problems  of 
mankind  and  make  the  solving  permanent;  and  that  is 
calling  the Power  of the Presence  into  action;  to fill and 
harmonize  your  world;  to take  command  of mankind,  and 
the governments  of the world;  and  in That  Call,  really  will 
come  the  Divine  Guidance  and  Divine  Power  required. Then,  as the Mighty  Arcturus  has said:  "That  Light  as of a 
Thousand  Suns  shall  descend  into  the Earth,  dissolve  and 
consume  all human  selfishness  from  the planet. " Today,  not  only  because  We  who  know  it, say so; but 
there  are innumerable  indications  in your  physical  world, 
which,  if mankind  knew  how  to interpret  them,  verify 
the very  Statements  which  have  been  made  thruout  This 
Activity. The  end  of the ages  is here. Mankind  can  have 
Our Assistance  by the  Call  to the  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence. " That  is the Reason  for This  Knowledge  being  re-
leased  ; and  for the Great  Golden  Age  coming  in quickly, 63 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
producing  Its Perfection  for mankind. The  people  can  co-
operate  and  help  bring  It in; or they  can go on and  refuse 
acceptance  of It; and  go down  in the discord  of their  own 
destruction. The  choice  is widi  mankind  today. The  Great 
Cyclic  Law  will  not wait. Mankind  has been  given  opportunity,  embodiment  after 
embodiment;  and  now  the Great  Cosmic  Light,  a Great 
Wave  of which  is sweeping  into  the Earth  on the seventh 
of this  month,  says  no longer  will  That  Light  wait  for the 
choice  of mankind. It is sweeping  into  action. If mankind 
insists  on allowing  the destruction  of the world  of appear-
ances  to act in This  Incoming  Activity,  then  hundreds  of 
thousands  of mankind  will  have  lost their  opportunity. I trust  there  is not one  of the Beloved  "I AM"  Students 
in New  York,  who  wants  to take  that  chance. Now  re-
member,  We  are  speaking  Heart  to Heart  tonight. Be-
cause  Our  Love  is so great  for you,  who  have  made  earnest 
sincere  effort—in  the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence; 
We insist  if you  will  stand  with  Us, you  shall  not fail—not 
one. That  is how  Great  Our  Love  and  how  great  the Love 
of the Messengers  is for you;  who  were  willing  to go forth, 
when  they  could  have  been  Free. It seems  incredible,  Beloved  Ones,  there  could  exist 
among  your  wonderful  civilization  today,  such  viciousness 
in the  feeling  of mankind. I speak  plainly  to you,  Dear 
Hearts;  for I want  you  to feel your  Authority,  your  Ability, 
your  Power,  to stand  so firmly  with  your  "Mighty  I AM 
Presence,"  no longer  can discord  touch  you  or your  world. DISCOURSE  VIII  41 
We want  you  to be Free,  but We cannot  do this  for you. We can  help  you  tremendously. That  is what  I am  en-
deavoring  to do tonight;  and  I do say in all humbleness, 
since  I began  This  Activity  in San  Francisco,  the western 
part of your  United  States  has  made  enormous  advance-
ment. Won't  you  accept  My Humble  Efforts  here  thruout 
New  York;  and  never  let a moment's  discord  touch  you  or 
your  world  again. Pour  out Love  and  Blessings  to all man-
kind—Oh,  no matter  what  their  mistakes  have  been. Man-
kind  is full of mistakes. Who  isn't. Who  shall  judge  what 
mistake  is greater  than  another. All  is a falling  short  of 
Perfection. Won't  you  take  that  attitude  and  just  let the 
Power  of the Presence  pour  forth  Its Mighty  Activity  of the 
Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love. As This  Good  Brother 
called  to your  attention  tonight,  let us take  that  up in the 
Activity  of the  Release  of the  Love  from  your  Presence. How  can  it be. Only  by your  attention  held  to your  Pres-
ence  and  the call thru  your  Power  of Qualification;  for the 
Power  of the Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love;  to flow  forth 
thru you  and  out into  your  world,  thru  those  Mighty  Light 
Rays  going  forth  from  the Presence. Call  them  into  action 
without  limit. The  Presence  does  not limit  you,  don't  you 
see that. You can call  the Presence  to project  a thousand  or thou-
sands  of Its Rays  everywhere  to carry  out Its Harmonious 
Activity  in the bodies  of mankind;  into  conditions  every-
where;  into  your  city,  to give  the Protection  which  it needs 
so much. You  will  never  know  how  much,  I tell  you 42 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
frankly. Remember,  Beloved  Ones,  and  I say this  with  all 
earnestness,  you  now  become  the Guardians  of the Light  in 
New  York. The  Messengers  have  fulfilled  their  part  in 
the United  States. The  students,  as We  told  them  in the 
West,  are now  the Guardians  of This  Light;  and  those  who 
turn aside  from  This  Stream  of Light,  will  regret  it thru 
the time  that  is to come. This  Light  is True. The  Instruction  which  Beloved  Saint 
Germain  has brought  forth  is True. The  Experiences  of this 
Good  Brother  are True. and  there  is not a single  discrep-
ancy  in those  books—not  one. If mankind  would  clear 
away  all viciousness  in the feeling,  the people  would  see the 
Truth  which  is there;  BUT  NO  ONE  CAN  SEE  THE 
TRUTH  WHOSE  FEELING  WORLD  IS FILLED 
WITH  VICIOUSNESS  AND  UNKINDESS. Love,  the 
Ascended  Masters'  Divine  Love,  is the Open  Door  to the 
Fulness  of This  Truth. Each  one  must  call  forth  the As-
cended  Masters'  Love  from  the Presence,  to take  command 
of his or her mind  and  body  and  hold  Its Dominion. So tonight,  My  Joy is Boundless,  Oh Beloved  Ones,  for 
having  the Privilege  of rendering  This  Service  to you. Dear 
Ones,  do you  think  a thing  is not tangible,  because  you  do 
not see it. Don't  make  that  mistake,  I plead  with  you. The 
most  Tangible  Things  on the face  of This  Earth  or any-
where  else today,  are Those  Rays  of Light  going  forth  from 
My Heart  into  yours. Don't  make  any  mistake. I am not 
speaking  of this  form  standing  before  you  (Mr. Ballard's). I am speaking  of My Form  which  stands  here  by this Good DISCOURSE  VIII  43 
Messenger. My Form  and  Light  are Limitless  and  I am not 
a dis-embodied  spirit,  don't  make  any  mistake  about 
THAT  either. Now  Dear  Ones,  tonight,  it is My  Privilege  to anchor 
These  Streams  of Light  within  your  Hearts;  and  give  you 
the Courage,  Strength  and  Feeling  of your  Ability  to call 
the Release  of the Powers  of your  Presence  into  action;  to 
set you  and  your  world  Free  and  into  Divine  Order. This 
Service  is being  rendered  for every  SINCERE  STUDENT 
in New  York  tonight;  and  all who  will  accept  It, will  have 
Its Blessing  and  Benefit. One  day,  you  will  know  We  are 
more  Tangible  than  you  are. Our  Bodies  are  Eternal, 
Wholly  Perfect,  and  We have  come  from  Those  Great  Oc-
taves  of Light,  to render  This  Service  to the Earth. Beloved 
Saint  Germain,  Jesus  and  Kuthumie  were  trained  by My-
self, in this  Identical  Understanding  of the "Mighty  I AM 
Presence,"  which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has given  to you, 
even  to the exact  Wording  and  the Application. That  is 
why  We  urge  you,  Precious  Ones,  to hold  closely  to the 
OUTLINE,  which  I sanctioned  in the West  for your  Group 
Activities. Hold  closely  to the Books  and  the Application 
they give  you;  because  that  carries  Our  Power  and  Action 
into your  world,  which  will  bring  your  Freedom  most 
quickly. We are not trying  to deprive  you  of any  Individual  Ex-
pression  or anything  you  might  want  to do yourself;  but 
We know  This  will  produce  the Quickest  Results  for you, 
and that  is why  We  ask  you  to do it. You  are quite  Free 44 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
to acquiesce  or not;  but it is because  We know  It is the Best 
and Quickest  Means,  for you  to gain  your  Freedom  that 
We have  asked  this,  and  no other  reason  in the  world. Don't  make  any  mistake  about  that. Because  the "I AM"  Students  will  not use the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame,  they  come  into  great  distress. I tell  you, 
Precious  Ones,  It was  released  for the  Freedom  of man-
kind. It could  not harm  an unborn  infant  and  those  who 
will not use It, will  not be Free. Remember,  Beloved  Ones, 
in your  attention  to your  Presence,  you  are AUTOMATI-
CALLY  releasing  Tremendously  Greater  Energy  than  you 
did, before  you  knew  you  had  an "I AM  Presence. " Some  of you  still  do not FEEL  your  Ability  to release 
These  Powers  from  your  Presence  to set you  Free. Even 
NOW  you—are  releasing  an hundred  fold  Greater  Power 
and Energy,  than  you  did before  you  knew  This  Presence 
three  years  ago. That  is why  We plead  with  you,  Precious, 
Precious  Hearts,  to hold  firm  in your  feeling;  because  as 
this Greater  Energy  comes  forth  thru  you  and  into  your 
world,  if you  continue  to charge  it with  discord,  don't  you 
see, it becomes  tremendously  more  destructive. You  cannot 
help  it. It is the Law  of your  Life,  when  you  give  attention 
to your  Presence,  Greater  Energy  has to flow  thru. It is not 
a matter  of anybody's  choice,  but  It is the Law  of your 
Being. It has  to come  thru. Then,  think. If you  continue 
to qualify  it with  discord,  don't  you  see how  much  more 
powerful  it becomes,  to act in your  world. That  is why  people  are constantly  swamped  with  dis-DISCOURSE  VIII  45 
cord  in their  minds  and  bodies;  because  for one  reason  or 
another,  they  have  charged  this  Energy  with  discord  or 
unkind  feeling. Precious  Ones,  can't  you  believe  Me,  when 
I ask you  please  to not allow  suspicion  to begin  to act in 
your  world;  or about  persons,  places  or conditions. Please 
do not do it. Suspicion  becomes  self-destruction. Don't  do 
it, if you  want  to be Free. Don't  care  what  the other  person 
is doing. YOUR  PART  IS TO  HARMONIZE,  BEAU-
TIFY  AND  PERFECT  YOUR  OWN  WORLD,  IN 
YOUR  CALL  TO  THE  PRESENCE;  AND  LET 
EVERY  OTHER  ONE  TAKE  CARE  OF  HIS  OWN 
WORLD;  except  to call  the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  to 
bless  all mankind  and  that  is the Greatest  Thing  you  can 
do. We want  to make  this  so clear,  so definite,  so plain  to 
you this time;  that  never  again,  can anything  in the world 
trip you  up and  cause  you  to become  confused. The  Per-
fection  of the "I AM  Presence"  is before  you,  Beloved  Ones; 
and We  are  willing  to the  very  limit,  the  Law  of your 
Being  permits,  to give  you  Assistance  unknown  and  un-
permitted  in the history  of the Earth. During  the time  the Messengers  are here  in this  Class, 
won't  you  tell all of these  blessed  ones,  they  are welcome  to 
the class,  if they  wish  to come. Tell  them  to forget  every-
thing  which  has  disturbed  them;  and  receive  the Blessing 
which  We  want  to give  them. They  will  have  great  cause 
to rejoice  if they  will;  because  unless  Sufficient  Harmony 
can be established  in New  York  this  time,  We cannot  come 46 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
again. The  Messengers  and  We  are pouring  forth  all the 
Love  at Our  Command,  to bless  and  draw  to Our  Radiance 
those  who  wish  to have  It; and  only  Love  and  Kindness 
will ever  go forth  from  the  Messengers  to every  one,  re-
member  It. Does  this  sound  strange  to you. Until  We  meet  in Our 
Octave  where  We dwell,  remember:  As you  go forth  from 
this room  tonight,  you  are a Part  of Myself. Don't  make 
any mistake  about  that. I mean  exactly  Those  Words. My 
Ray of Light  has  gone  forth  and  anchored  in each  one  of 
your  Hearts. Therefore,  you  have  become  a Part  of Me. Will  you  accept  that  and  keep  yourself  reminded  of It. Then,  as you  do so—refuse  any  longer  to accept  any  dis-
cordant  appearance,  as having  power  to disturb  you  or act 
in your  world. If you  will  do this,  then  My  Ray  of Light  and  Energy 
which  has gone  forth  into  your  Heart,  will  do Its Mighty 
Work  for you;  and  I am sure  there  is not one in this  room, 
who  does  not feel My Immeasurable  Power  of Divine  Love, 
flood  each  one's  world,  Being  and  body. I am sure,  there 
is not one  who  does  not feel  It definitely. That  shall  con-
tinue  to act within  you,  Oh Precious  Ones;  and  Oh,  Our 
Love  is so Great,  so very  Wonderful,  and  is the Eternal 
Power  of the Universe  acting  within  you. May  I remind  you  in preparation  for the Class,  remember 
Beloved  Ones,  when  you  call your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence 
into action,  It knows  no resistance  nor  interference  of any 
kind. Therefore,  It goes  forth  with  the Power  of the Uni-DISCOURSE  VIII  47 
verse  to fulfill  your  requirements. Do you  see then,  how 
your  earnest  sincere  effort  could  not fail in any  way. It is 
the Supreme  Opportunity  of all your  human  pilgrimage 
upon  Earth. You know,  Beloved  Ones,  if I were  a human  Being,  you 
might  accuse  Me  of sounding  egotistical;  but  you  know 
better  than  that. A Being  of Light,  Perfection  and  Freedom 
does  not have  those  qualities  existing  within  Him  or Her. Therefore,  when  I say to you,  the Great  Power  of My Love 
is anchored  within  your  Heart,  I mean  it literally  and  phys-
ically,  as well  as Divinely. Will  you  all—every  one  of you—do  Me the kindness,  be-
fore the opening  of the Class,  to read  the last  chapter  of 
the Magic  Presence. Will  you  do Me this  kindness,  and 
as you  start  to read  on thru  that  chapter,  will  you  be kind 
enough  to feel  yourself  in the place  of this  Good  Brother, 
during  His  Experience. It was  Real,  I assure  you. Then, 
allow  Me to do that  which  I wish  to do for you. Oh,  Pre-
cious  Ones,  please  understand,  We  do not care  about  the 
puny  human  mistakes,  which  human  beings  have  made. All We want  is their  earnestness  in their  attention  to their 
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  will  enable  Us to do for 
them  what  they  cannot  do themselves;  and  which  We can-
not do for them  unless,  they  will  give  their  Earnest  Atten-
tion to the Presence. Do you  not see,  how  thru  the centuries,  We  were  lim-
ited;  because  human  Beings  did not know  their  Presence. Without  their  attention  to the Presence,  We  were  not per-48 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
mitted—because  the Law  would  not permit  Us—to  release 
This  Help. Now  the  Great  Cosmic  Light  does. Oh,  the 
Glory  for mankind. There  was  no Release  of the Light  into 
the Earth,  except  at long  intervals. I mean  there  were  no 
Great  Cosmic  Impulses  of That  Light  to help  mankind. Now  since  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Activ-
ity forth,  It comes  with  Dynamic  Power  twice  a year. This 
time,  on the 7th of April,  there  was  a Sufficient  Activity 
of the Cosmic  Law  for the Light  to release;  because  of the 
need  and  Blessing  of mankind  today. This  will  come  again 
in July. On the seventh  of July  there  will  come  a still Might-
ier Flow  and  Impulse  of That  Great  Cosmic  Light  into  the 
Earth. I think  most  of you  have  read  Washington's  Vision,  if 
not, you  will  perhaps  in the near  future. I say to you,  the 
last episode  in His  Vision  which  was  a Mighty  Reality,  is 
what  We  are trying  to prevent  acting  in America  today. Only  by enough  Calls  from  the sincere  students  of the "I 
AM"  in America,  can it be prevented. When  Beloved  Saint 
Germain  was  talking  last Sunday  morning  at this  Precious 
One's  Group,  We allowed  this  Good  Brother  to see the Ac-
tivity  of the Cosmic  Light  which  took  place. In the third 
episode  of Washington's  Vision,  you  will  notice  the Great 
Being  states,  as the expression  was  used  by the narrator: 
"that  a dark  angel  in the center  of the Atlantic,"  was  the 
one who  seemed  to be the instigator  of that  activity,  which 
took  place  in what  followed. IN THE  PLACE  OR  PO-
SITION  OF  THAT  BEING,  A PILLAR  OF  LIGHT DISCOURSE  VIII  49 
WAS  PLACED  LAST  SUNDAY  MORNING  IN THE 
CENTER  OF  THE  ATLANTIC,  WHICH  WILL 
REMAIN  AND  DO  ITS  PERFECT  WORK. We mention  fragments  of These  Great  Activities  for your 
Encouragement,  Strength  and  Blessing. If enough  of the 
"I AM"  Students—I  do not necessarily  mean  in numbers— 
but if enough  Earnestness  is released  by These  Mighty  De-
crees  from  mankind,  then  a great  part  of this  destructive 
activity,  which  would  otherwise  take  place  and  sweep  over 
America,  may  be forestalled. Is there  any  one  of the Blessed  Ones  in America  or the 
World  today,  who  does  not want  to see that  done. Then, 
do you  not understand,  Dear  Hearts,  what  a tragedy  it is, 
when  Individuals  are so unfortunate  as to be vicious  enough, 
to try and  oppose  these  Beloved  Messengers;  in the Free-
dom  and  Protection  which  they  alone  have  been  responsible 
for bringing  into  America;  to prevent  such  frightful  de-
struction  taking  place  in America. That  frightful  destruc-
tion is not only  thru  the cataclysmic  activity;  but  it is the 
destructive  thing  which  has been  generated  in Europe  for 
centuries,  which  would  one  day  try to sweep  the Earth. These  are Mighty  Truths,  Dear  Hearts. They  are not to 
try and  frighten  any  one;  but  mankind  needs  to know 
that in the Call  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  is the only 
Power  which  can  release  enough  energy,  to bring  about 
Protection  and  allow  the Great  Law  of your  Life  to act; 
to prevent  these  things  which  otherwise  must  be the ex-
perience  of mankind. 50 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
Mankind  has  gone  thru  thousands  of embodiments  in 
the experience  Life;  and  the people  have  not  gained  any 
Freedom  thru  it. Now  today,  when  the Light  of the World 
stands  before  you,  in the Understanding  of your  "Mighty 
I AM  Presence,"  and  the calling  of Its Power  into  action; 
then  think  what  It means  to you  in These  Wonderful 
Groups,  who  are issuing  These  Mighty  Decrees  with  dy-
namic  energy;  to go forth  in the mental  and  feeling  world 
of mankind. The  Mighty  Majestic  Far-reaching  Activity 
of Those  Decrees,  is beyond  the fondest  hopes  of any  hu-
man  intellect. Tonight,  We bring  to your  attention  from  the Great  Cos-
mic Light,  These  Mighty  Truths. If you  can  accept  This 
Truth  and  feel  Its Reality,  then  much  can  be done  during 
This  Class. We  brought  the Messengers  here  at this  time, 
to save  your  New  York. One  day,  not so far hence,  you  will 
know  the Truth  of My Words,  which  I have  spoken  to you 
tonight. Will  not  all of you  take  your  stand  for the Pro-
tection  and  Blessing  of this  Coming  Class,  so the Greatest 
Possible  Good  may  come  to New  York  out  of it, and  the 
Greatest  Harmony  possible. It is you,  Precious  Ones,  here 
who  need  it, not the Messengers;  but  their  Love  has been 
great  enough  to face  the frightful  destructive  feeling,  sent 
out from  these  vicious  ones  in the world  who  are acting 
here. The  Messengers'  Love  has been  great  enough  to give 
the Assistance. Beloved  Ones,  you  are Fortunate. Most  Fortunate. and 
one day,  you  will  every  one  of you  tell Me so and  repeat DISCOURSE  VIII  51 
back  to Me Those  Words. Will  you  think  for just  one  mo-
ment  what  It means  to have  become  a Part  of Myself. Now 
remember,  It is not this  physical  form  here  I am speaking 
of, It is My Own  Blazing  Form  of Light  of which  "I AM" 
speaking;  and  My  Own  Infinite  Intelligence,  by which 
"I AM"  flashing  These  Words  to this Good  Brother,  which 
he repeats  to you. You  have  become  a Part  of That  Self— 
Myself. Do you  think  you  would  ever  get away  from  Me. Think  of it. You  cannot  escape  now. Some  who  think  they 
might,  will  find  that  is a mistake. So Dear  Ones,  in the Glory  of your  privilege,  go forth 
in the Full  Power  of Joy  and  the Consciousness  of your 
Ability;  to call forth  from  your  Presence  This  Mighty  Free-
dom  and  Limitless  Activity  of Itself. Ask  It, to silence  your 
human  forever;  to hold  it bound  and  in obedience  to the 
Great  Law  of Life. Let  the Power  of your  Presence  flood 
your  world  to alone  act in your  world,  keeping  it Free 
from  human  qualification  of any  kind. If you  will  do that, 
Precious  Ones,  in so short  a time,  you  will  begin  to feel 
This  Power  releasing  from  the Light  within  you;  which 
will positively  give  you  all the Courage,  Confidence  and 
Freedom  in Its Perfection  which  every  Heart  in the World 
craves. So, tonight,  in My  Closing  Words,  I call  your  "Beloved 
Mighty  I Am  Presence"  to take  command  of each  mind 
and body;  silence  your  human  qualities;  and  cause  them  to 
remain  silent  and  obedient  to the Great  Light  within  your 
Heart. I call  That  Light  to take  Its Command;  to hold  Its 52 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
Dominion  and  to produce  Its Perfection  in you  and  your 
world. Then,  you  become  a Pillar  of Light,  thru  which  the 
Power  of the "I AM  Presence"  pours  forth  Its Radiance, 
into your  environment  everywhere. The Glory  of Our  Light  will  cause  people  to come  to 
you and  inquire  of the Glory,  of the Peace  and  the Love 
which  radiates  from  you. Then,  will  be your  opportunity 
to explain  to them  the Knowledge  of the Presence  and  the 
Chart;  which  gives  them  an Eye-picture  and  is a Powerful 
Means  of their  quickly  entering  into  the Full  Conscious-
ness of their  Presence;  and  the  Perfection  which  It will 
bring  forth  thru  them. It is not a matter  of can It, or will  It 
do so; but It does  do so. The  Light  of your  Being,  the Light 
of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  compels  It to go forth;  as 
you understand  and  harmonize  your  feeling  enough;  and 
stop the qualification  of that  mighty  Pure  Perfect  Energy 
which  stands  ever  ready  and  waiting,  to flood  you and  your 
world  with  Its Glory  and  Freedom  from  all limitations. Then  you  arise  into  your  Ascension. DISCOURSE  VI 
May  4,1937 
NEW  YORK  CITY,  N. Y. Beloved  Children  of Earth,  your  Pilgrimage  is fast draw-
ing to a close;  and  out of That  Light  from  which  you  came, 
is flowing  forth  your  Victory. Can  you  with  Me compre-
hend  for a few moments,  the Light  from  which  you  came. The Light  which  is every  moment  beating  your  Heart; 
Out of That  Great  Fire-Breath  of God,  came  your  Individ-
ualization. The  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  projected  your 
Higher  Mental  Body,  then  the Ray  by which  your  human 
form  came  into  being. Contemplate  with  Me This  Mighty 
Reality  and  no longer  feel  yourselves  separate  from  that 
Great  Light  which  gives  you  Life. That  is your  Life. That 
is your  Intelligence  and  Power. We, who  know  so well  the Great  Freedom,  which  comes 
alone  from  the Light;  We  who  have  It, because  We have 
It, We know  you can too. Will  you  not enter  into  Our  Open 
Door,  thru  which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has invited  you  to 
come;  and  no longer  dwell  upon  the fragments  of human 
creations. Can  you  bear  it Oh,  Beloved  Children,  to face 
the Truth:  and  know  the fragments  of Life  which  you  are 
ordinarily  using,  are but the farthest  outer  covering  of the 
Light;  which  is your  Perfection,  into  which  you  may  enter, 
if you  will,  in the  Acknowledgment  of your  Presence, 
53 54 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
which  is All-Wise,  All-Powerful,  and  Whose  Light  fills  the 
Earth. Do not  let your  attention  go astray  longer,  for in your 
attention  to the  Presence,  comes  your  Eternal  Release. There  is naught  else  to set you  Free. Once  you  can  hold 
yourself  firm  to your  Presence,  acknowledging  It, calling  It 
into action,  then  quickly  comes  your  Release  and  Freedom. We, who  have  attained  the Victory,  know  all your  Re-
quirements,  perhaps  far better  than  you  could  even  imag-
ine. When  We  say to you,  We know  your  Victory  is CER-
TAIN,  can you  not accept  It and  let the Quality  which  We 
are knowing  for you,  enter  in and  perform  Its Perfect  Serv-
ice for you. It seems  to Me It is quite  practical,  quite  logical. Your  teacher  who  taught  you  mathematics,  who  taught 
you English,  had  attained  such  knowledge  up to that  point, 
wherein  he or she was  your  teacher. Today,  We who  have 
attained  Freedom  offer  Our  Services  to you;  because  We 
have  attained. Then  you  should  be as open  to This  Help  a 
far more  Transcendent  Privilege,  than  you  were  to your 
teacher  in the schools  of the physical  world. It is all quite  as practical;  still  It is Transcendent,  It is 
Unusual. Try  to feel This,  Beloved  Ones,  and  no longer  let 
human  concepts  cause  you  to doubt  again  and  fear. If 
someone  came  to you  and  said,  there  was  something  won-
derful,  marvelous,  over  here  in one  of your  magnificent 
buildings—would  you  hesitate  to go and  see for yourself, 
what  it was  and  that  it was  there. Would  you  disbelieve 
someone  and  think  that  Chicago  was  not in existence;  be-DISCOURSE  VIII  55 
cause  you  had  not been  there,  or in Los  Angeles. Do you 
not see how  inconsistent  the human  intellect  is. It joyously, 
willingly  accepts  some  things  and  rebels  tremendously  at 
others;  most  of the time  at the things  which  would  give  it 
the Greatest  Freedom. Beloved  Saint  Germain  has  brought  to you  This  Tran-
scendent  Knowledge  of the "I AM"—every  Word  of which 
is True,  Vital,  Living,  Powerful. It is your  Freedom. The 
Messengers  have  pled  with  you,  offering  so kindly  every 
angle  of Explanation;  which  will  enable  you  to compre-
hend  and  understand,  that  It is your  Application  in your 
attention  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  compels 
your  Freedom. Notice. It compels  your  Freedom. It is not 
a matter  of can It be accomplished;  but  It does  compel  It 
at your  Call. Now  will  you  not accept  This  tonight  in Its Fulness. With  GREAT  FIRMNESS  set about  your  application, 
knowing  It cannot  fail. Then,  it only  means  a sufficient 
amount  of your  application  to produce  the results  you  re-
quire. Do not waver  in your  application. Go on, and  on, and 
on, until  results  are there. I tell you that  you  cannot  fail. All 
the Ascended  Ones  tell you  the same  thing,  because  of Their 
Own  Achievement. If you  let your  feeling  world  resist, 
then  you  but delay  your  Freedom;  but if you  will  call your 
Presence  to give  you  now,  the Full  Feeling  of Its Victory, 
your  Victory—then,  do you  not see how  quickly,  you  will 
enter  into  the Fulness  of Its Power. Joyous,  Wonderful  is the Privilege  within  your  grasp. 56 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
Do not give  way  to human  concepts,  to human  impulses 
which  would  say to you:  "Oh  no, no, you  are just deceiving 
yourself,  you  are not  gaining  the  Victory  you  think  you 
are. " That  is what  your  human  intellect  would  say to you. Then  you  say to it: "You  have  no power. No longer  do you 
govern  my world. You  have  led me into  limitations  for the 
last time. Now  then  step  aside. Get  out of my way. "I AM" 
going  into  the Light. "I AM"  going  into  the Light. " The 
Life that  enables  you  to speak  Those  Words,  is the Power 
which  carries  you  forward  to Victory  in the Light. There 
is naught  which  can  stay  your  progress—naught  that  can 
stay the Expansion  of your  Light. Stand  firm  and  unyield-
ing. Know  your  Victory  is Certain. Why. Because  God, 
the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  is beating  your  Heart 
and giving  you  Life  is your  Certain  Victory. Naught 
in the world  can  prevent  It—not  even  your  own  human 
creation. Remember,  one-third  of your  accumulation  of the cen-
turies  has been  dissolved  and  consumed  for you. One-third 
of your  probation  is set aside. Oh,  can you  not,  will  you  not, 
accept  THAT  in the  Fulness  of what  It means  to you. Try,  for one  moment,  to comprehend  what  It means. Ask 
your  Presence  to give  you  the Full  Comprehension  of what 
It means  to you;  of the Great  Assistance  which  is being 
given;  of the Great  Cosmic  Light  which  makes  all possible 
for you  now. In the great  quantity  of disembodied  intelligences  which 
are being  taken  out of the atmosphere  of Earth,  you  will DISCOURSE  VIII  57 
be Greatly  Blest. That  could  not be done  before. Will  you 
not with  Me,  try in My Radiance,  to comprehend  the Vast-
ness of this. Oh,  the Limitless  Assistance  being  given  to 
mankind. It is as your  people  say in California—so  "Un-
usual". Beloved  Ones,  enter  into  This  Comprehension  now 
—as I utter  Those  Words. Feel  It. Enter  into  your  compre-
hension  so It may  act within  your  world  All-powerfully. I rejoice  that  I have  been  able  to render  you  and  your 
city This  Service  and  how  far reaching  It is. Will  you  not 
enter  into  it Individually,  and  in your  Groups,  sustaining 
the Greatest  Harmony  possible. I do not  ask  you  to be 
wholly  Perfect;  but I do ask you  to maintain  Harmony  In-
dividually  and  in your  groups;  so the Completeness  of This 
which  is now  set into  operation,  may  claim  Its Great  Vic-
tory before  the end  of this  year. We  are doing  everything 
possible  for your  Assistance  and  for your  city. It seems  to 
Me all, every  one  in your  city,  should  be willing  to accept 
Our Assistance  and  co-operate  with  It, to the Fulness  of all 
It means  to you. Oh, how  great  is the  Rejoicing  of the  Great  Host  of 
Light;  because  so many  of mankind  are  understanding 
This  Great  Presence;  calling  It into  action  for the Blessing 
of all. For your  encouragement,  this  morning  in Europe,  a 
Transcendent  Miracle  was  performed. I doubt  not you  will 
see mention  of it in your  papers. Go on, and  on, and  on, 
Beloved  Ones,  in your  Mighty  Call  to your  Presence;  in 
your  Mighty  Decrees,  flooding  the  mental  and  feeling 
world  of mankind  with  Our  Great  Perfection;  for the Call 58 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES 
in Those  Decrees  which  are sent  forth  like  a rocket,  does  do 
Its Perfect  Work. Great,  Great  is your  Privilege  in giving  This  Assistance  to 
America  and  the World. Glorify  yourselves  as you  feel the 
Transcendent  Privilege  which  is yours. Tonight,  while 
These  Words  are being  spoken  to you,  the Final  Activity  is 
being  given  for your  Freedom,  if you  will  accept  It. There  are many  of you  who  have  seemed  to have  the 
appearance  of age,  who  can transform  yourselves  in a short 
time. Won't  you  try it, knowing  that  your  Life  only  requires 
Harmony  in your  feeling,  to Beautify,  Perfect  and  bring 
back  to your  form,  its youth  and  beauty. It is not vain  to 
wish  to be beautiful,  in order  to express  Perfection. It is not 
vain  to have  a form  of Perfect  Health,  to respond  to your 
desire  for Service  to the  Light  and  produce  Perfection. Mankind  just  lost  the way  and  now  is finding  It again,  in 
Our Home  of Eternal  Perfection,  the "Mighty  I AM. " To-
night,  let us think  of it, as a Great  Home  Coming. Forget 
this building,  your  old world  for a moment. FEEL  you 
have  entered  into  This  New  World,  where  all the buildings 
are Beautiful  and  Perfect;  where  there  is Happiness  and 
all good  things. Then  in THAT  FEELING,  charge  your 
feeling  world  with  Its Reality,  Eternally  Sustained. As you 
go into  the outer  world  again,  you  will  find  Completeness, 
Abundant  Supply,  soon  finding  its appearance  in your 
world  and  use. Call often  on the Law  of Forgiveness  for all mistakes,  and 
then  say:  "Beloved  Mighty  I AM  Presence. thru  your DISCOURSE  VIII  59 
Mighty  Violet  Consuming  Flame,  wipe  out all memory,  all 
appearance  of mistakes  which  has  found  action  in my 
world. " See how  soon  changes  will  take  place;  and  in the 
place  of that  which  has been  disturbing  and  terrifying,  will 
come  Peace  and  Rest  which  passeth  understanding. Then, 
out of the Presence  will  pour  everything  you  require. It is 
a Law  of your  Being. It cannot  fail. You are the Decreer  of your  world. Decree  Its Perfection. Turn  your  attention  where  Perfection  is, and  Perfection 
must  flow  back  in response,  to fill your  world. It is Power-
ful. It is Certain. It cannot  fail,  and  I join  Saint  Germain 
in His  Invitation:  Come  Oh,  Beloved  Ones. Enter  thru 
Those  Gates  of Freedom,  into  the World  of your  "Mighty  I 
AM Presence,"  and  have  in use,  all It holds  for you. The Love  of the Entire  Ascended  Host,  the Great  Cos-
mic Beings,  the Gods  of the Mountains  and  the Angelic 
Host,  pour  forth  to you  now;  and  will  continue  to do so 
for your  Strength,  Encouragement  and  your  Victory. Feel 
and accept  Its Fulness. I glorify  you  in My  Love  and  Light. My  Strength  and 
Courage  are your  Scepter. Stand  forth.
Only by giving attention to your "Mighty I AM Presence" can you have evidence of the perfection which you long to have flow forth into your world.
What is necessary to have evidence of the perfection which you long to have flow forth into your world?
The purpose is to give mankind the opportunity to understand and use the Power of the "I AM Presence" to set themselves free.

The reason is that the Violet Consuming Flame is anchored in the physical heart, and only the individual can produce it.
