Discourse 25 December 25, 1932 |
CHRISTMAS DAY
SAINT GERMAIN
INVOCATION: Infinite “I AM Presence”! from Thy Ancient Sanctuary, we find Thee
pouring forth Thyself into manifestation with conscious intelligent expression, that
Thy Perfection be manifest in all phases of Life; and that all of earth which has
been wrongly qualified by mankind be raised into that Ascended State—Thy Eternal
Perfection. I bring you Greetings, and especially from the Retreat in Arabia, that
Great Center of training for the use of the Mighty Rays.
I have two surprises for you today. I say “I,” because We are all One.
I trust that I need no introduction as I speak to you over the Light and Sound Ray.

THE DISCOURSE
How beautiful this day always seems to Us in the Consciousness conveyed to
humanity—representing that birth of the Christ Activity in all mankind; and to the
students who have become aware of what the use of the “I AM Presence” means to
them in setting into motion Love and Intelligence to do their bidding, according to
their direction of that Limitless Power.
So long individuals have wondered how to attain the Christ Consciousness. The
first mighty step is in the recognition of the “Great I AM Presence,” God dwelling
in you. The second step is in the use of that “I AM Presence,” for when you say “I
AM,” with the understanding of what It means, you have then and there entered
into the Christ Consciousness.
It does not mean you immediately express the fullness of that Christ
Consciousness, for you must first know where you are going and what you wish to
do before you can accomplish it.
All the Ascended Ones have gone the same path and use identically the same
application, because all roads lead to the Great Central Sun, the God-Head.
Our Beloved Brother Jesus performed one of the greatest Blessings to mankind in
not only setting the example from his birth and achieving the Ascension, but in
making the Eternal Record that stands radiant, pouring Itself to humanity. Little
can the unascended realize what this means to mankind. It is an Eternal Beacon,
beckoning them on into the Light, and in the example of the Ascension, Jesus stated
definitely not only what could be done, but what must eventually be done.
Great as were the wonders He was able to perform, He gave the marvelous promise
that: “Even greater things than these shall ye do.” Many times students wonder
what greater things could be performed than Jesus did, but He tells us that He
only performed a few of the Universal Services which can be rendered to our
fellowmen.
To Us this day always symbolizes the conscious beginning of that most marvelous
of all achievements—the Ascension. The moment the individual becomes conscious
of this fact, the process of his own Ascension has started, and according to the
fullness of his grasp of this Truth, may the individual accomplish it quickly, or
require time to do it.
My personal experience has been that when I became aware of what it meant and
began the use of the “I AM Presence,” I found that shortly I was entirely unaware
of time or place; and that each day, as I entered more fully into this expansion of
consciousness, I found that all things of my desire were right within reach, mark
you, right within my individual, governing power; and with it came the
consciousness that Divine Love was the Mighty Cohesive Power holding all things
together and in place—that this Divine Love within Me of which I had begun to
learn made Me an Invincible Magnet for everything upon which My desire rested.
This simple Truth is one of the Mightiest that first comes to the student. At first It
This simple Truth is one of the Mightiest that first comes to the student. At first It
causes one to realize that really he can rise above these seeming limitations about
him and then he finds, one by one, that he is actually doing it.
Then comes the Great Inrush and Outpouring of this Mighty Self Within, which
holds the substance of everything the heart can wish within Its Own Embrace. And
your ability and authority, mark you, to qualify and mold this substance, is that
which causes it to take on the form of your requirement, whether it be peace,
Love, gold or enlightenment.
I say to the beloved students: Awake, O Beloved Students, to your authority, to your
right, to your conscious ability to apply this Great Law to your Perfect health,
eternal youth and beauty, the riches of God, the glorifying of your mind and body,
and then to Ascend into the Arisen Dominion, into your Eternal, Everlasting
Freedom.
After you begin to find, step by step, that you are accomplishing, then you begin to
forget all this outer condition surging about you—in the glorious feeling of being
held in the Great Embrace of that Mighty Master-Self Within, which never has and
never will give cognizance to time or space.
You are the Master and have Dominion in your Life and over your world the
moment you recognize that the Energy, Power and Intelligence which you are
using is the “Mighty I AM Presence.”
How fortunate indeed are those individualizations upon earth who become aware,
really aware, of this Truth.
Jesus said: “Know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” This is one of the
mightiest phases of that Truth. Apply It, O Beloved Ones, with full determination,
shutting out all uncertainty from your minds, and you will climb steadily that
Jeweled Ladder of Achievement; and as you look back upon each step gained, more
and more will that Blazing Radiance shine forth, and you will wonder, “How could
I have gone so long in the shadow, when above me stood this Mighty Flame of Life,
ready to consume instantly all my unfortunate, ignorant creation?” I tell you,
Beloved Ones, that you do not have to wait indefinitely in the recognition of this
Mighty Presence. Fold your arms about It in all the adoration you can command,
and It will raise you quickly out of all these seeming limitations, clothing you in
that “Seamless Crystal Garment,” blazing with Radiant Light and held with a
Jeweled Girdle that it is your right to wear; and in your hand that Blazing Scepter
of Dominion, the Searchlight of your Mighty Soul, which you can turn upon
anything, upon any place, upon any height, and draw to you the revelation from
within It. Such, Beloved Brothers and Sisters, is the picture of Achievement which
We have used and attained. Such We know you can do, because We have.
Never grow weary of the Consciousness that: ” ‘I AM’ the Ascended Presence”; and
when you say that, know: “It is the Self-sustaining, emanating
Strength by which I reach my Full Dominion.”
It makes Me very happy to be home again—for the happiness in your hearts—to see
the many rungs of the ladder you are past; and that you have the conscious
consciousness that you can achieve the Greatest of God’s Gifts, the Fullness of
Himself.
CHA ARA
It is with much Joy that I too may say a few Words over the Light and Sound Ray
to you, and to answer in person the many calls of the hearts to Cha Ara.
I do have many a good laugh in moving about among the students who have so
much longing that I make myself visible to them; and yet some of them, upon the
slightest movement unusual, catching their breaths lest I do. You know, it is most
comical: the outer activity of the self wants a thing so much, and at the same time
experiences all kinds of prickly sensations about it; but Beloved Ones, I say this: I
may not appear nearly so frightful as you might think! So trust Me at least to have
a pleasing form or appearance, and at the same time, for the benefit of the dear
sisters, I shall endeavor to bring along some Attar of Roses.
sisters, I shall endeavor to bring along some Attar of Roses.
- From Kashmir?
- That would be quite appropriate.
- Why not your own brand?
- You are very alert. I do not need to purchase it as you do, for I am privileged to
brew My Own.
May I add a word to the beloved students, commending them and urging them to
continue that wonderful, glorious “Presence of Love” and goodwill, not only to Us
but to each other, because it makes a wonderful condition in which the expansion
of consciousness goes on in leaps and bounds.
I must commend them on the feeling of certainty within themselves in the
accepting of Our Presence, and the consciousness of their ability to apply the Law
of their “I AM Presence,” for it is increasing with great speed.
Do not be discouraged in your call for Our visible appearance. While Our hearing is
perfectly good, I assure you, yet in that call is something that you require. In the
call for a thing is a certain vibratory action that the student needs, which cannot
be explained except as you see it from the Inner Action.
AMERICA
O America! Precious Jewel in the crown, the diadem of earth, that Flower of
Ancient Wisdom and Light! Again you shall come into the power of your full bloom
—in spite of all the seeming obstructions and appearances to the contrary at
present. Within thy soul, O Mighty America! is the strength to shake thyself free
from the barnacles that have attached themselves to thee—the barnacles of
selfishness, and the creation of the outer activity of the mind of unawakened
human beings. So shall you again come into the fullness of that Light which is your
birthright.
Beloved Students of this Radiation: no matter what the appearance seems to be in
the outer activity, do not allow that appearance to find anchorage in your
consciousness, or the suggestions from others concerning America.
Stand serene in your God-given Dominion, knowing the Truth, seeing America free,
governed by Divine Love and Justice.
The net that the sinister force of earth has seemed to draw America into will yet
find the “Sword of Truth and Light” sever the net each way, making of it the Open-
Ended Cross of Freedom, of Light and Justice.
The most valuable thing in the individual’s Life in the things which he cannot help
is to shut his eyes to the appearance of them, acknowledge and set forth into
action the Mighty Power of the “I AM Presence.” Do you not see, Beloved Students,
how very, very foolish it is to keep accepting the appearance, through suggestion
or otherwise, which you do not want, whether it is national, state, or personal,
when you have such an extraordinary privilege of setting into activity the “Mighty
I AM Presence” to correct
whatever has the appearance of less than Perfection?
The habit of mankind has been to see imperfection where We see Perfection. Now,
in the recognition of the “Mighty I AM Presence, “fully accept Its Perfection every
hour of the day. This does not mean that you have to dwell on this by the hour, but
you can at least assert once every hour of the waking state: “I do accept the full
Activity of my ‘Mighty I AM Presence.’ ” Each time you assert this, you are building
Its Perfection more powerfully into your outer activity, for you are already using
this energy, and why not acknowledge at all times Who and what It is you are
using, thus giving It the Dominion It wishes to convey to you. In this way you can
set into motion for the Freedom, Protection and Blessing of America, your beloved
country, an Invincible Power. You do as yet little dream of the Mighty Potency and
Power of adjustment It can cause to take place when consciously set into motion
by one or more who recognize Its Invincible Universal Power.
Now let Me suggest that instead of listening to the constant lamentation and
suggestion of all kinds of destructive activities, that you know the “I AM Presence”
suggestion of all kinds of destructive activities, that you know the “I AM Presence”
consumes them and requalifies all this energy with Freedom, Protection and
Perfection for America and the world.
For your encouragement, I want to say that all those human beings who started the
cause of this present condition did not foresee that it was going beyond their
control, and through it, many of them have lost their outer ability to longer foster
it.
So those who are attempting to bring back prosperity by the unlimited use of beer
will find things going beyond their control. Instead of temporary prosperity, things
will sweep into actual prosperity.
So now, as at all times of seeming chaos, will come peace on earth, goodwill to
man; and the Light of the expanding Christ in the hearts of individuals, permeating
the earth, will draw to Itself Its own.
Again, for the benefit of the beloved students, I urge them not to discuss discordant
things any more than is enough to understand a situation. Then turn completely
from it and never let it hold your attention again, for I assure you, what you
entertain in your consciousness will find expression in your Life and world. So fill
it with the “Great I AM Presence,” holding in Its Embrace the Mighty Fulfillment of
your every desire.
See that Perfection, that Full Perfection of Its Activity everywhere in your Life and
world. Do not be affected or disturbed by the creation of others where you cannot
help, except to see Perfection, knowing that back of the seeming shadow is the
Blazing White Light of the “I AM Presence.”
This, Beloved Ones, is My Greeting of the season I leave with you. In closing, My
Mother and Others of the Ascended Host—some of whom you do not know but
who know you—send their Greetings of Love, Peace, Opulence and Strength to each
of you, to bless you on your way to your final Victory and achievement.
Saint Germain: Well, very fortunately the Radio Corporation can’t charge Us up for
overtime on Our Station. I suppose if they knew of it, they would want to charge
Us.
I want to say a word or two in conclusion, and it is to urge the students to
recognize that when they say “I AM” for whatever they want to be accomplished,
they not only set the “Great I AM Presence” into action for the accomplishment,
but they should be deeply aware that It holds within It the Self-expanding, Selfsustaining,
Self-emanating Power.
While repetition is good and is ofttimes required to produce a deeper conviction,
yet in the present advancement of the students they should become more
conscious of Its innate, inherent, Self-sustaining Power. This would give the outer
consciousness a fuller comprehension of the sustaining Power, so that if the outer
activity of the mind is occupied with other duties, it can send forth the charge of
the “I AM” into any achievement once an hour without in any way interfering with
the student’s work.
It is such a mistake for the student to let register in his mind the absurd idea that
he hasn’t time for these things—when it only takes a moment to powerfully realize
the Mighty, Invincible Activity of his “I AM Presence” in whatever his attention is
required to be used.
However, this application might be very helpful: ” ‘I AM the Mighty Presence’
commanding the time, all the time I require, for the realization and application of
this Mighty Truth.”
On the other hand, if many times during the day, one will for a few moments take
the consciousness that: ” ‘I AM’ the only Intelligence and Presence acting,” it will
naturally adjust things according to the requirement. It is so easy to set the
consciousness into motion—knowing one is not restricted by any sense of
limitation.
Temples of Light: They are located in the Etheric Belt above the earth’s atmosphere.

The Radiation is poured out from this Belt to the earth through its atmosphere. The
Etheric Belt around the earth and that around Venus would be vastly different.
Venus is within the Etheric Belt of the Sun, while the earth is below that.
Warning: Do not give recognition to anyone who is a tool for the sinister force.
Simply know one thing only: “There is only the ‘I AM Presence,’ Intelligence, Light
and Power acting.” Do not be concerned about any personal activity of any kind
whatsoever at any time.
The student’s business is to see Perfection, feel It and be It, no matter what any
human appearance seems to be.
BENEDICTION: From out the Heart of Thy Great Silence, O “Mighty I AM
Presence,” comes the Solution of all things, the Perfection of all things; for Thou
art the Only Governing Power, Perfection, and Intelligence in all outer experience;
for Thou art the Presence governing all human expression. Only as we see Thy
Perfect Manifestation in all things do we cause Perfection to manifest in all things.
