SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty, All-Pervading Presence! Thou All-Pervading “I AM”! We

give praise and thanks for the happiness pervading those under this Radiation. We

give praise and thanks that the Simple Key to Perfect Happiness may be given to

bless and to anchor these Children of God into their own firm Dominion. We give

praise for the harmony maintained within each student, and that they feel the

necessity to continue it. We give praise that “I AM” everywhere present, controlling

every outer activity and bringing it into Perfection.

I bring Greetings to you always.

THE DISCOURSE

That which everyone seeks is happiness, sometimes called bliss, and yet many who

have sought so earnestly have unknowingly continued to pass by the key to this

happiness.

The simple key to Perfect Happiness and its inherent sustaining power is Selfcontrol

and Self- correction. This is so easy to accomplish when one has learned he

is the “I AM Presence” and Intelligence controlling and commanding all things.

Surrounding each individual is a thought-world created by him or her. Within this

thought-world is the seed, the “Divine Presence,” the “I AM,” which is the only

acting Presence there is in the Universe, and which directs all energy. This energy

can be intensified beyond any limit through the conscious activity of the

individual.

The “Divine Presence” within is likened unto the pit or seed of a peach; the

thought-world around It unto the pulp of the peach. The pulp represents not only

the thought-world created by the individual, but also the Universal Electronic

Substance, ever present, waiting to be acted upon by the conscious determination

of the individual—to be precipitated into his visible use as the form of whatsoever

he may desire.

The sure pathway to the understanding and use of this conscious power comes

through Self-control. What do I mean by Self-control? First, the recognition of the

“I AM Intelligence” as the only Acting Presence. Second, that knowing this, we

know there is no limit to the power of Its use. Third, that individuals, having been

given free will and choice, do create in the world about them whatsoever their

thought, through their attention, is held firmly upon.

The time has arrived when all must understand that thought and feeling are the

only and Mightiest Creative Power in Life or in the Universe. Thus the only way to

the definite use of the full power of one’s thought and feeling, which is God in

Action, is through Self-control—Self-correction—by which one may quickly reach

the attainment, the understanding whereby he may direct and use this Creative

Thought- power without any limit whatsoever.

When sufficient Self-control is attained, it enables individuals to hold the thought

steady upon a given desire, likened unto the flame of an acetylene torch held

immovable. Thus thought and feeling held upon a given desire unwaveringly, with

the consciousness that it is the “I AM Presence and Intelligence” thinking—that it is

God in Action—then will they understand that they may bring into visibility,

precipitate into visibility, whatsoever they desire.

It has been proved in a thousand ways that the effect of a thing cannot bring

happiness. Only by the understanding of the cause operating may the individual

become Master of his world. Each individual, knowing that he is the Creator of his

own world and what he wishes to have manifest in it, will understand that he has

at no time any right to create anything discordant in another’s world. Thus is each

individual left free to meet the effect of his own creative cause.

I rejoice exceedingly to see the success with which each student under this

Radiation is coming into the Mastery and control of the outer self. Here I must say

to them: Beloved Students! could you but understand and see the Magnificent

Splendor of achievement before you through asserting Self-control over the outer

activity, you would bend every effort, every moment to attaining Control and

Mastery over all outer expression.

Thus will you be enabled to maintain the needed harmony through which the

Inner Mighty Power of the “I AM Presence” is liberated into your conscious and

visible use. Let us disabuse the minds of these beloved students of the sense of

time, distance and space.

The Key which opens the entrance to all higher spheres above you lies in the

simplicity and firmness of this Self-control. All students should dwell earnestly

upon the Great Truth that: “Where your consciousness is, there you are, for ‘I AM’

everywhere.”

Long dwelling in consciousness that there was space, great distance, or that there

is time, is all but the outer creation of man. Therefore, to step through this

gossamer veil that separates your outer consciousness from its Full Inner Power

and Activity is but a state of thought and feeling.

Those who are reaching to the “Light” so earnestly, desiring to live in and be

“Children of the Light,” are dwelling constantly in these Higher Spheres. The

beauty of these spheres surpasses the fondest imagination of the outer

consciousness. When you enter them consciously and at will you will find all

creation there just as tangible as your physical buildings are here.

To take your firm stand: ” ‘I AM’ the Power of my complete Self-control, forever

sustained,” will make it easier for you to gain this Mastery. Students must be

conscious that when they recognize the “I AM Presence” acting, it is impossible for

It to be interrupted or interfered with in any way. Know there is no time nor

space; then the knowing of the vastness of Eternity is within your grasp. To enter a

Higher Sphere than your physical world in full consciousness is but an adjusting or

changing of your consciousness. How do we do this?

Answer: By knowing we are consciously there.

Affirm often: “Through the Power of the Electronic Circle which I have created, ‘I

AM’ no longer touched by any doubts or fears. I joyously grasp the Scepter which ‘I

AM’ and step boldly forth into any of these Higher Spheres that I wish, retaining

perfectly clear conscious memory of my activity there.”

In this way one may quickly find himself enjoying Limitless Freedom and the

Perfect Happiness of being active in any sphere he chooses.

To be aware of what is a thousand years in advance is as easily and readily

attained, in fact more so, as going to your library in search of a book.

The great delusion the outer consciousness of mankind has built up, creating time

and space in its belief, has been the great stumbling block to humanity’s Freedom.

Those who have reached the great disillusionment, that wealth, or the outer effect

of things, cannot bring happiness, will understand with great blessing that within

their own Creative thought, power and feeling are held Perfect Happiness, Perfect

Freedom, and Perfect Dominion.

When the student once understands that whatsoever he connects himself with

through his attention he becomes a part of to the degree of the intensity with

which his attention is fixed, he will see the importance of keeping his attention off

the seeming destructive angles of human experience, no matter what they are.

To discuss the seeming inability, shortcomings, or faults of your friends and

associates but builds that element upon which your discussion rests within your

own consciousness, and also adds to the appearance which seems to be in the other

individual.

Because there are black magicians in the world, certain of God’s Children who are

misdirecting and contaminating the Pure Electronic Energy of the “I AM Presence,”

is no reason why we should let our attention rest upon that fact, just because we

are aware of it. Our business is to hold the attention free to rest within our own

Self-control, compelling it by the conscious action to rest on whatsoever we

choose.

Few understand that when their attention is called to some destructive thing, how

much and how often they allow the attention to go back to it; or if another

has displeased them in some way, how much and how often the attention returns

to that incident—when they have the full power to control their attention and

make it obey their command.

Few, even among earnest students, yet understand what a mighty power their

faculty of attention becomes under their controlled use.

I wish so much to impress upon the students how foolish it is to be affected,

displeased or disturbed by the imaginary activities of the ignorance of the outer

self. When they once know: ” ‘I AM’ the only All- Powerful acting Presence in my

mind, my body and my world,” they cannot possibly be affected or disturbed by

any of their associations in the outer world. They must know then that they are

entirely immune from hurt or disturbance of the outer mind of other individuals,

no matter what they try to do.

With this understanding, or by giving willing attention to this Great Truth, they

will soon find a Peace, Happiness, and Self-control operating about them to such

an extent that no outer condition, disgruntled comment or disturbance of their

associates could in any wise disturb them, their world or their affairs. As soon as

the individual becomes aware that he really has control of his own Creative

thought, power, and feeling, then he knows positively that he can precipitate into

his visible use, or bring into his use from the outer where it is already created,

anything whatsoever upon which he holds his Creative thought and feeling firmly.

The moment that he is truly aware of this, he will know he is forever free from

the need of the wealth of the outer world, or anything that the outer world can

give. Thus has he entered into the Mastery and Dominion of his own world, the

only world that is ever existent to him, and which is his God-given Birthright.

I assure you, there is no such thing as a supernatural world. As we step from this

sphere of activity into another higher, that one becomes just as Real as this is. It is

simply a different state of consciousness we have entered into.

To the joy, glorification and blessing of the mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, I

will say that within one hundred years there will be hundreds who will be able to

use the Cosmic Rays to cleanse their homes and keep them so; to weave their

seamless garments when they will have no desire to follow the freakish styles

created by some commercialized idea.

I find so many of the students wondering how it is that Ascended Beings or

Masters, with all Their Creative Power, often choose to live in humble quarters. I

assure you the explanation is very easy. The far greater part of Their Life and

Activity is spent in the Higher Spheres in which they are directing Mighty Rays of

Light to the Blessing of humanity— from Homes and Temples of Light and Wisdom

so beautiful, so transcendent as almost to stagger the imagination of the outer

consciousness. Those Homes and Temples are Eternal, ever becoming more and

more beautiful. So They only spend a few hours in the visible world, which causes

Them to lower the density of Their Transcendent Forms, that They may become

visible to those yet occupying the physical body. If the students will understand

this, it will save them much questioning and confusion in the outer expression

—which time they can use in the Activity of the “Mighty I AM Presence.”

This will bring them into that Transcendent State and consume the longing for the

wealth of the outer world, which is but rubbish in comparison to the transcendent,

Creative Power inherent in every individual. They can bring this Transcendent

Power into their use through their own Self-control and Mastery. I say to you

beloved students, Children of the One God, is it not worth your sincerest effort —

when you know you cannot fail? Take your Scepter of the Mighty Creative Power

and be forever free from all past, binding limitations which have beset mankind

through the ages. I assure you that everyone who enters in to attain this Scepter

and Mastery will be given every needed assistance, if each one will try with all his

ability.

The one having the understanding of his Creative Ability must know that he can

create whatsoever he will, in whatever rate of vibration he desires to hold it,

whether it be Light, or any other condensation he may choose to maintain it. You

know you have the ability to change your thought from Chicago to New York in

the same instant, and you know you can change your thought from a condition of

Light to one of very dense condensation, such as iron. Then one cannot help but

see that this which he does every moment, consciously and at will, he can bring

into a more powerful use — by consciously fixing the attention and holding it upon

what he desires.

The attention is the channel by which God’s Mighty Energy, through thought and

feeling, flows to its directed accomplishment. Because one has not yet precipitated

something from the invisible, there is that lurking doubt, until some simple

manifestation has occurred. Then his courage and confidence leap into dominion,

and in the future he has no trouble in precipitating whatsoever he desires.

The precipitation of gold or jewels from the invisible to the visible is as simple as

breathing, when once that foolish questioning doubt accumulated by the outer is

consumed or pushed aside.

Mankind, through the centuries, has built up these walls of limitation. Now they

must be broken up, shattered and consumed in any way that we can do it. At first

it does take determination to do it, but when you know it is the “I AM Power”

acting, you know It cannot fail. The outer only has to hold the attention fixed on

the object to be made visible. Dwell on this, and all of a sudden you will find

yourself into the activity, and you will be amazed that you dwelt so long without

using it.

The length of the Ray from a precipitated substance or condensation of “Light” is

controlled by the consciousness of the wearer. If the wearer’s consciousness is

raised very high, the scintillation is very great.

The “Jewel of Light” is yet in its Transcendent State of Perfection. The jewel in a

condensed substance such as a diamond, emerald, or ruby, naturally will take on

the condition of its wearer. If the rate of thought vibration in the person wearing

it be low, the jewel will become lusterless, while if the thought be transcendent, it

will become very luminous.

When one has become a sincere student reaching to the Light, he must qualify

everything in his environment with the Quality of the “I AM Presence,” no matter

what the appearance seems to be. You see, there cannot be a quality or an

appearance in your world except what you give to it. If fear causes you to believe

in a disturbing presence, you are responsible for it, because if there were to be a

disturbing presence and you qualified it by the “I AM Presence,” you see how

impossible it would be for it to disturb you. There is only one energy acting, and

the moment you acknowledge the “I AM Presence,” you have requalified that

activity with Perfection.

Expectation is a very powerful qualifying consciousness to maintain. Intense

expectation is a splendid thing. It manifests always. The individual, through the

centuries, has created a veil through which he has shut out these Transcendent

Spheres. If he has created it, which he has, then common sense and reason will tell

one that he can un-create it.

A Powerful Radiation has gone forth to yourselves and students with a powerful

conviction that will be sustained—until they have this Work which is given today.

To convey the simplicity, the ease and certainty with which the idea, through

Creative thought and feeling, can be brought into visibility, is a thing the students

should dwell upon. This will dissolve that feeling of “Can I?” and in its place put “I

can” and “I know.”

If the students will keep themselves harmonious, from time to time they will have

flashes that will give them all needed confidence. Add to all commands on going

out of the body that you retain the conscious memory of whatever you experience.

Stick right to a thing from the start and know that whatever knowledge you need

will be forthcoming instantly.

When you allow the attention to become fixed upon a thing, you that moment give

it power to act in your world.

BENEDICTION: Thou Great Happiness-the Mighty Presence and Power which “I

AM”11 qualify Thee to go forth in the hearts of mankind, anchoring there and filling

their minds, bodies and homes, filling them with Thy Great Happiness. Open the

door of their consciousness so that the Mighty Power which “I AM” can come forth

in Full Perfection. O Mighty Presence! Hold the Children of Light, the

Individualities of God, hold them close in Thy Embrace, letting Thy Quality flow

forth in their command, filling them with Thy Great Peace. O Mighty Presence of

Justice! Enter in and reign in all official places. Let the destructive intent of

mankind be revealed, that it may be cast out and be consumed. Let the Fullness

and Power of Thy Radiant Light enfold all, and Thy Glorious Transcendent Light fill

all places.

Discourse 07 October 24, 1932

SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty, Silent Watcher! Even as Thou hast before Thee the

Cosmic Crystal, send forth Thy Rays, anchoring them in the hearts of God’s

Children. Teach them obedience to the Great Cosmic Laws. Teach them obedience to

the Light. Fill their hearts and minds with Thy Peace, with Thy Silence, with Thy

Poise. Let the rejoicing of Thy Heart fill their hearts, every one—even to

overflowing—with Thy Substance and Pure Electronic Force that brings with It Thy

Immeasurable Infinite Blessings.

Let each one feel Thy Omnipresent, Watchful Care, Thy Sustaining Love, Wisdom

and Power.

THE DISCOURSE

I bring you Greetings from the Great Host of Light who watch attentively the

Outpouring of Divine Radiance, whose Great Love, Peace and Light always enfold

you, as Messengers of the Light, giving always strict obedience to the Great Light.

Obedience of all manifestation is the first demand of the Great Host. When the

Command went forth: “Let there be Light!” obedience was the first activity,

consequently Limitless Light was at hand. It is so with all outer activity of the One

Active Principle, God. The first activity of the outer should be to give Perfect

Obedience to that Inner Presence. Thus is it enabled to receive harmoniously the

unadulterated Pure Essence; and so it should be with friends, with relatives, with

associates, and with all outer contact of individuals.

There should always be this wondrous grace of Love, Light and obedience. It

matters not the age of the individual. Still the outer expression often, for its need

is obedience to the Great Inner Light. When the impulse surges forth to argue,

criticize, or feel a resistance, it is your signal that the outer is intruding itself to

demand attention. Then is the time, by the power of your free will, to command

the outer to be silent and obey the “I AM Presence.”

It is useless to argue any point. Silence the outer, and then in loving obedience,

give the Instruction. In this way It can come forth unobstructed.

When students have entered the conscious path, the slightest intimation of

disturbance or resistance of any kind should be followed instantly by silencing all

outer activity and declaring: ” ‘I AM’ the obedient, intelligent activity in this mind

and body; ‘I AM’ the governing power and do govern it harmoniously.”

It matters not upon what plane or in what sphere of activity the Son of God

—that is, the Son or Daughter of God—acts, obedience to Its Laws, or the

Divine Laws of the sphere in which he is acting, is always imperative to his steady,

onward progress.

Someday, I hope in the near future, We shall take up for consideration the

elements of outer activity which are most disturbing, and the effect of their

activity upon the body. I do not wish to do this however, until the students are

strong enough to hear the Truth of this activity without a single twinge of

resistance or self-condemnation—because to start an activity within the individual

of either condition would be a mistake upon My part.

I spoke some time ago about the student keeping on guard to watch that in an

unguarded moment he did not find himself unknowingly entertaining some

feeling of resistance, criticism, or some activity which he later discovered had been

acting.

Every student should constantly use, many times a day, for it only requires a

minute, and silently declare: ” ‘I AM’ the Invincible Guard, established, sustained

and maintained over my mind, my body, my home, my world and my affairs.”

Keep conscious that this Guard, being the “I AM Presence,” naturally has Infinite

Intelligence. This will establish an Intelligent Guard and activity about you that

does not have to be constantly repeated.

Again we come to the point where every time we use the expression “I” or “I

AM,” we know that It is the full Power of Love, Wisdom and Intelligence acting.

Use frequently: ” ‘I AM’ the full Liberation of Divine Love acting.”

Now as a preparatory activity for the day, I would suggest that the students,

with great joy and firmness, after having refreshed themselves in the morning,

would silently declare—knowing that the Power of the declaration is Self-sustained:

” ‘I AM’ the governing Love, Wisdom and Power with its attendant Intelligent

Activity which is acting today in every single thing that I think or do. I command

this Infinite Activity to take place every moment and be the sustaining Guard about

me, that I move, speak and act only in Divine Order.” Then during the day,

whenever you think of it, take the firm consciousness: ” ‘I AM’ the commanding,

governing Presence, moving everywhere before me during the day—commanding

Perfect Peace and Harmony in all activity.”

In this manner you will lock the door open for the continuous Outpouring of

this Inner Intelligent Presence, which will transform your world and keep you

from contacting inharmony of any kind, enabling you to have that steady flow of

Inner Peace and Harmony in all outer contact.

It matters not what the manifestation may be within the body or without, the

student must take his firm stand that his body is the “Temple of the Most High

Living God.” This is an Unquestionable Truth, and this attitude consciously

maintained will more rapidly bring the body into the Perfect Activity which was

intended from the beginning. I say to the students in all sincerity, there is no

possible way of attaining a quality or a desired attribute without claiming it. The

outer has drifted into a limited consciousness of declaring it did not have the

desired quality, and of course it could not manifest it under those conditions. The

thought of the student often is, “Well, I have been holding this idea for a long

time, but it doesn’t manifest; it doesn’t work.” This is positive proof that

somewhere in the consciousness there was lurking a doubt —possibly unknown to

the individual.

I tell you that no matter what appears on the surface, if you will continually,

with firm determination, claim the quality, condition or things you desire, and go

right on claiming them with that firm determination, they will find expression in

your use just as certain as you do this; but I cannot urge you too strongly always to

keep on guard in this matter, for the outer, when you have tried a thing for a few

hours, days or months and it seems not to have appeared immediately, begins to

say: “It’s no use, if it were going to have acted, it would have by this time.” Such a

thing as failure is absolutely impossible when you have set the Power of the “I AM”

— God in you—in action to accomplish a given purpose, if you hold unwaveringly

to it with determination.

Many times I have seen students nearing wonderful achievement, wonderful

Victory and Freedom, and this outer attitude of, “not yet being accomplished”

would rush in, get their attention to such an extent that it would either retard

greatly their progress, or shut the door indefinitely.

The student should compel himself or herself to hold before the mind this Truth:

that when the “I AM” Power and Presence is set in motion, It can no more fail in

Its Accomplishment than the Universe stop its activity. For this “Mighty I AM

Presence” to fail in Its Accomplishment would mean that the Universe would

instantly be thrown into chaos. Such is the Certainty and Power of the “I AM”

accomplishment. It simply cannot fail unless the outer obstructs the way.

Every student should guard with great watchfulness that he does not use the “I

AM” in negative expression, for when you say: ” ‘I AM’ sick, I have failed, ‘I AM’ not

accomplishing this thing as I should,” you are throwing this mighty energy into

action to destroy the thing you wish to accomplish. This always happens whenever

you use the word “I,” for that is the release of the Universal Power.

Knowing that the “I AM” is you, then when you say, “My head aches, my stomach

is out of order, my intestinal tract is disturbed,” you are throwing the energy into

those parts to act according to the thing you have decreed; for when you say “MY,”

it is the same energy acting, because there is only one person who can say “I” or

“MY,” and that is you, decreeing for your world.

Any expression which can only be used for yourself is including the energy and

activity of the “I AM Presence.” The correct attitude to take if some organ seems to

be rebellious is to instantly declare and hold fast to it: ” ‘I AM’ the only and Perfect

Energy acting there. Therefore, every appearance of disturbance is instantly

corrected.” This is the important point to keep before the student. If, through habit,

you have thought that certain remedial agencies gave assistance, then use these

sparingly until you gain sufficient Mastery to govern entirely by your “I AM

Presence.”

I assure you that even though you think that this remedial agent has given you

relief, it is still the same “I AM Presence” that has given the remedial agency the

power to give you relief. For instance, I have watched the medical world for many

centuries, and when one individual of so-called authority says that a certain

remedy is no longer of use, it is but a short time until it disappears entirely.

The question within the mind of all thinking individuals is that certain herbs or

remedial agencies have a certain natural chemical action corresponding to the

element within the body. I say to you, what gives or makes the chemical affinity?

The Power of your “I AM” which enables you to think!

Thus when you come to go round the circle of activity, you will find that there is

only One Intelligence and Presence acting, and that is the “I AM” — God in you.

Now why not look this Truth square in the face? Take your stand unwaveringly

with the “I AM Presence,” God in Action in you, and know that It is the only Life in

you and all things or remedies to which you alone give power.

Is it not much better to go directly to this “Great I AM Presence” and receive Its

All-Powerful, Limitless Assistance which cannot fail, than to give power to

something that leads you around Robin Hood’s barn to get assistance from

something in the outer to which you have given the power?

I know it is not easy for students to turn away from old, old habits or

dependence upon certain remedial agencies; but a little thought and meditation

upon this fact will simply compel the outer reason and dependence upon these

outer things to give way completely before the “Great I AM Presence.”

There is no way of convincing the student upon this most vital of questions,

except he apply the Wisdom and Knowledge with unwavering determination until

he proves for himself the active Truth of these simple things. There is no one who

can tell to what degree the student can apply this, for only he alone, by trying, may

know. Many times the Inner accumulated energy is such that the student is

amazed with the results when he begins to apply this.

The Oriental phrase for “I AM” is “OM.” That means the same thing that “I AM” is

beginning to mean to the Western World. For Myself, I like very much the use of

the “I AM” because Its very expression indicates “God in Action in the individual.”

“OM,” as understood by the Orientals, is a Universal Presence, and not nearly so

apt to give the student the consciousness of the “I AM Presence” acting in the

individual, as the use of “I AM.” This largely explains the reason for the condition

in India today. Hundreds of thousands in India, through the confusion of many

castes, have fallen into the error that the intonation of “OM” was all that was

required in their lives. While this brings a certain activity in hundreds of

thousands of cases, it does not bring the energy of that activity into the

individual’s action, and so is of little benefit.

The method of the Ascended Masters throughout the ages from time

immemorial has been the conscious use of the “I AM Presence,” the recognition

and full acceptance of God in Action in the individual, which more and more

brings into the individual the Full Intelligent Activity of the God Presence —the

Godhead.

Those Orientals who have reached great attainment, which many of them have,

have become aware of this True Activity through their sincere meditation.

Perhaps the simplest, most powerful single thing that the individual can keep

himself reminded of is that when he says “I AM,” he is knowingly or unknowingly,

setting into action within himself the Full, Unadulterated Energy of God.

Energy becomes power through conscious use. The fact that individuals are in

human embodiment is the command to raise the world of the individual into

Perfect Activity. When the consciousness of the individual is raised, everything in

the world of that individual is raised into the Inner Activity.

“O Mani Padme Hum” really means God in Action in the individual. Use the “I

AM” instead of OM at all times, because many of you have been embodied in an

Indian embodiment. At one time you knew that use, and to prevent it calling forth

a lesser use, use the “I AM” now to take you to the Full Height.

Whenever you say “I AM,” you are setting the Pure Energy of God into motion,

uncolored by human concepts. This is the only way of keeping the pure energy of

God uncontaminated by human qualification. Enormous results can be had in a

short time by the determined use of these affirmations:

” ‘I AM’ this Pure Inspiration.”

” ‘I AM’ this Pure ‘Light’ right here in action.” (Visualize this through the body

now.)

” ‘I AM’ this Pure Revelation of everything I want to know.”

Hold the reins of power forever within yourself. People are afraid of just

embracing the Great God Power and letting It operate. What is there to fear in

God? Its operation is Pure and Perfect, and if you do not reach out to embrace the

Great Pure God Power, how can you expect to use It and have Perfection? You

must claim It for your own. To say: ” ‘I AM’ the Ascended Being I wish to be now”

immediately enfolds the outer in That Raising Presence. ” ‘I AM’ my Eternal

Liberation now from all human imperfection.” Realize who “I AM” is.

You have to use terms of explanation up to a certain point. Know: “This body is

the Temple of the Living God and is ascended now.” The human side is such a

doubting, criticizing Thomas. All instruction is but to give the individual student a

chance to prove it within himself by applying and using the explanation of the

“Law” given. Say often: ” ‘I AM’ the Governing Power of this activity, and therefore

it is always normal.” There is no human being in the Universe who can recognize

this “I AM Presence” for another. In your recognition of this “I AM Presence” as

who you are, every step you gain is a permanent accomplishment, and there can be

no retrogression.

BENEDICTION: Thou Infinite, All-pervading Presence, whose Active Intelligence

governs all who look unto Thee, fill each one who seeks the Light with

Thy Mighty Inner Light. Hold each one closer and closer in the “Great I AM

Presence,” that It fills the world of everyone with Thy Great, Great Perfection; and

that the consciousness of each individual desires only that Great, Great Presence

and Perfection.

NOTES

All jewels are a high activity of God’s Substance. The more intense the fire, the

greater the purifying power. Gold does not long for nor adhere to anything else; all

other metals or alloys cling to it. Gold is this way because it is of a pure element.

In all kinds of fuel activity there is at some point a golden flame. All consuming of

outer substance at some point is always red, for the red color is the throwing off

of the imperfection and impurity. If the impurity were not there, the substance

would go from the outer immediately into the golden flame.

SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty, Infinite Presence! Creator of all that is, always

majestic in Thy Conquering Presence, we give Power only to Thee. We forever

withdraw all power we have ever given to outer things and stand serene in Thy

Majestic Presence, Love, Wisdom and Power. Knowing that, ” ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’

there and ‘I AM’ everywhere, then ‘I AM’ serene in Thy Majestic Presence,

manifesting Thy Love, Wisdom, Power and Judgment—that I have Thy foresight

and see far beyond human possibilities.” I give praise and thanks that I, now and

forever, acknowledge and accept only Thy Mighty, Victorious Presence in all

things, in my Life, my world, my mind, and my body.

I give praise that I have placed about each form Thy Magic Circle, Invincible,

Impenetrable to anything unlike Thee. I stand guard over my Life, body, mind,

world and affairs, that nothing manifest unlike Thee. We thank Thee.

THE DISCOURSE

Keep reminding the outer activity, the outer consciousness, that when I say “I,” “I

AM” using the

Infinite God-Power. When I say “I AM,” I have set this Power into motion to

successfully accomplish whatever the idea is which has been held in

consciousness, or whatever idea the attention has been held upon. Sincere students

should not forget this for a single hour, until the Truth becomes so fixed in the

outer activity that it automatically acts.

Therefore, you will see how perfectly ridiculous it is to say: ” ‘I AM’ sick, ‘I AM’

financially embarrassed,” or that there seems to be a lack of anything. I tell you

that you cannot possibly be affected if you will hold fast to this idea, then use it.

When you seem to have a cold, you do not need to be told to use a handkerchief.

Then why do you need to be reminded that the outer activity has but One Power

by which to move itself about, and that is the “I AM Presence,” God in you? The

unfortunate thing about sincere students is that they will not meditate often

enough upon this Truth for its marvelous Presence to come into activity.

Know that: ” ‘I AM’ the Majestic, Victorious Presence, filling all official places,”

and know it with certainty in your minds. If any of the students will sincerely take

hold and use this, such an one will be blest for so doing.

Guard yourself in the outer contact constantly, that you do not unknowingly

accept the appearance of things or the fear of so-called financiers. God governs

your world, your home, your business, and that is all with which you are

concerned. Do not ever fear that you are running amuck with your imagination

when you sense and feel the nearness of the full manifestation of the Mighty,

Individualized Presence. Rejoice! Believe in the Mighty Presence that holds in Its

embrace everything in this world that you can desire or use. You are not dependent

on the outer things. With the joyous entering into this Mighty Power and Presence

which contains all, do you not see how you would be provided for, if everything

were cut loose?

I want you to feel, joyously accept, and with all your Being know that the Power

of precipitation is no myth. It is real. Those who enter into this feeling deep

enough will have the precipitation of anything they want.

Children have been chastised for seeing Angelic Beings and for manifesting an

Inner Perception. It is the parent of that child who should be chastised, and well at

that, for daring to interfere with the God-given Freedom of that child. If grownups

would live more in the conscious imaging and acceptance of these Mighty and

Great Presences (of whose very existence most of humanity doubts), they would

feel Their Presence and uplifting sustaining Intelligence.

My Beloved Ones! If suddenly we find ourselves needing courage or strength: ” ‘I

AM’ there surging forth, supplying this instantly.” If I need harmony in my mind

or body, then: ” ‘I AM there,’ supplying it instantly, and I do not need to wait.”

Do not give a thought to the world or individuals who do not understand these

things. Go right on rejoicing in the visible, active Presence, precipitated into your

Life and use, of whatever you wish.

Our outer common sense, so-called, must tell us that unless we expect, accept,

and rejoice in the Presence of the thing we want, how in the name of God can we

expect to have it? The poor, insignificant outer self struts itself about saying, ” ‘I

AM’ too important to give attention to these childlike fairy stories.” Well, let me

say to you that one day the individuals who say this will be only too glad to listen

to those fairy stories and fill their minds with those ideas—that they may come

forth.

In every instance in the outer contact of the world of business, whenever there

is a negative condition that seems to touch your world in any way, instantly take

your firm stand: ” ‘I AM’ the precipitation and Visible Presence of whatever I desire,

and no man can interfere with it.”

This is a Mighty Truth. When I speak of precipitation in this manner, I do not

only mean through the invisible, but through any channel, for all is a precipitation;

it is only a little difference in activity.

When I recognize who “I AM,” then I have entered into the “Great Silence,”

wherein is God’s Greatest

Activity. This recognition should bring great revelations to the individual, if he

holds to it with joyous acceptance.

In your outer experience, the use of any activity develops your strength to

greater and greater efficiency, does it not? If one can apply this in the outer

activity, do you not see how much more important it is to the Inner Activity? The

more you put it into use, the greater the power you put into it. Know you can do it

with the Inner Spiritual things far greater and quicker than in the outer things, for

with Spirit, the Power acts instantly. There is no waiting when the “I AM” acts.

The fact that you give credence to development of the muscular system by use

should make you realize that the same effort given to the exercise and recognition

of the Inner Power would naturally produce far greater results. For instance, man

is supposed to perform certain physical exercises in order to develop his muscles. I

have, in my students, many, many times, enabled them to produce powerful

muscles in a symmetrical, beautiful body without having taken a single exercise to

do it. It is the same with the exercise of your Inner Faculties in bringing forth the

Inner Power.

In all development, either of the Inner or the outer, the first part of the exercise

is mental. Here we must know that there is only one Power and Energy to use, and

that is from the “I AM God Presence” in you. Therefore, the exercise of your Inner

Faculties is necessarily mental —called mental —but I say to you, it is God in action,

because you cannot form a thought without the Intelligence and Energy of God to

do it. Therefore, your mental activity is the Energy of God in action. Now you see

how easy and possible it is to make a strong physical body without lifting your

hand in physical exercise to do it.

Most scientific, medical, and men of physical culture will deny this, but I assure

you it is only because they have not become aware of, or thought deeply upon the

energy or power that is acting; because no kind of activity can take place except

by the use of this Inner energy and power.

Individuals allow the impingement of doubts and fears to rush in and

overwhelm them when it comes to the recognition of these Great Faculties, which

are free for their use at any time. You see, they are but submerged as it were, by

the outer, like a cork that has been pushed beneath the water, which when

released by a little effort, pops up to the surface into use.

I must say it is positively pitiful when earnest students spend so many years

straining at intervals to gain the use of these faculties, and then because they do

not operate immediately, relapse into a state of inactivity until something spurs

them on, and then relapse again. Persistent, determined recognition of this “I AM

Presence” will take you through anything to absolute certain accomplishment

—unless you lie down on the job.

I see, and especially at this time, a goodly number of individuals who, with a

little encouragement and description of the simple use of these faculties, will

quickly leap into their freedom—and especially those who have this verbal

instruction and the Radiation that goes with it.

Is it not appalling that Sons and Daughters of God will submit to the binding

claims of limitation when, with persistent effort and determination, they would

open the door and step through into this great Inner Chamber, filled with such

Dazzling Light, jewels, gold, and substance from which every kind of food in the

Universe can be precipitated? Then with this Truth plainly before them, these

individuals still hesitate, through unbelief, to step through, take this scepter and be

free.

Beloved Ones! Again I say to you: Sing the Great Melody of the ‘I AM’ Conquering

Presence. Sing It in your hearts continuously. Feel It with all your ability; be

determined to use It. Hold fast to that determination, and the knowledge and the

way will steadily open to give you that Mastery which is your Eternal Freedom.

Just keep joyously knowing that you are through the veil now.

Whatever Mastery the individual has gained over himself, his affairs or his world,

is always, and should be, a Sacred Chamber—an Inner Sanctuary upon which no

other inquiring individual may intrude. No one may attain Mastery through the

desire of the outer to find the Mastery within another.

To seek, find, and apply the Law of one’s own Being is the student’s sure road to

Mastery, and only when the individual has attained it himself may he really

understand what True Mastery is. There is only one Mastery to be sought, and that

is over one’s own outer self.

One might walk beside a Master for years and not discover it until his own Inner

Faculties revealed the fact. One might live in the same house with a Master for

years and not know it until some crisis arose to be handled, and thus the Real

Power be revealed.

For a Master to discuss or disclose his own attainment of Mastery would be to

dissipate his own forces and may not be done at any time.

If a student be fortunate enough to have a beautiful experience and then discuss

it with others, there is usually so much doubt poured at him that he soon begins

to doubt himself. It is really funny how convincing someone else’s argument can

If a student will listen to the argument of someone else, why not be at least as

fair to his own God Self and listen to Its Power and Good as expressed through the

Inner Experience?

The moment doubt begins to enter, more doubt rushes in. The same with the “I

AM.” If you put your attention upon It, It rushes forth more and more. Where the

conscious attention is fixed, there the energy pours. Dear Ones, do you not see,

when you want something revealed, or to be inspired in some way, do you not see,

“I AM that.” The moment you say “I AM,” you set in motion this Power that has

inherent within It all these faculties. It has all substance, and must take on

whatsoever form the attention of the mind is fixed upon.

The “I AM” is the Fathomless Mind of God. In reaching for understanding, the

average student is but contacting the recurring memory of that which has been,

instead of going into the Heart of God and bringing forth that which never has

been.

Individuals and students many times do not and will not realize that there have

been many civilizations of vast attainments which are entirely unknown to the

outer world today. Atlantis and Lemuria, or the Land of Mu, as credited by a few

today, are but fragments of the great civilizations that have been.

To do unusual things: The students who wish to do this, take the determined

stand: ” ‘I AM’ the Heart of God, and I now bring forth Ideas and accomplishments

which have never been brought forth before.”

Consider only: ” ‘I AM’ that which I wish to bring forth.” The “I AM Presence” is

the Heart of God. You are immediately in the “Great Silence” the moment you say

“I AM.” If you recognize that you are the “I AM,” then whatever you declare is

manifest that moment.

To believe is to have faith a thing is true. There is an interlocking of belief and

faith. In the beginning a thing is belief, and if held to, it becomes faith. If you do

not believe a thing is true, you cannot bring it into manifestation. If you do not

believe, ” ‘I AM’ a thing,” how can it act for you?

The old saying: “There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” is an

Absolute Truth.

When you know that God’s Energy comes forth into the individual absolutely

Pure and Perfect, then you must realize that it is the individual who requalifies

that energy and imposes his own impure quality upon it. This Pure God Energy is

projected forth by the conscious effort of the individual, and he must impose some

kind of a quality upon it, for that is his privilege as a Creator.

Everyone is constantly qualifying this energy, which is pouring forth continually.

Each one is continually pouring his color into it, through his own consciousness.

Every activity of the outer that qualifies carries with it the inherent faculty of

sound and color. No activity of any kind can take place which has not sound and

color inherent within it. God’s Perfection naturally has no discoloration within it.

Within the outer faculty which gives quality to a thing is where the discoloration

takes place. Every student must take the responsibility of his own activity in

qualifying the energy he sends forth.

The mind cannot act upon anything that has not Intelligence inherent within it.

Do not allow yourself in the human sense to consider the element of time in

anything you do, but enter into a thing joyously, and stick to it until it does

manifest.

Be like a blow torch. If you will hold steady on the Mighty God Presence as the

Actor doing the thing, you will enter into the fullness and Perfection of everything,

ready for your use now. All permanent accomplishment must be by the Selfconscious

effort of the individual.

What is sympathy?
It is but agreement with imperfection. Whatever you do, be adamant before

human sympathy. Watch that you do not allow yourself to be dragged down into

quicksand when you can use wings to lift yourself above its destruction. Judge not,

but keep joyously entering into the “I AM Presence,” and all things will manifest

perfectly.

For any imperfect condition, especially old age, use:

” ‘I AM’ the Perfection of that individual.”

No matter what is said in the outer world, you must be unaffected by it, for you

are coming to this Perfection, and you must bring it about consciously.

If you do not watch, you can let in an expression in a moment that can follow

you for years if you do not erase it. When you are consciously using the Great Law,

know that the active Power of God’s Thought knows its direction, goes and

performs perfectly. Consciously charge the “I AM Intelligence” to use whatever is

necessary. Say: ” ‘I AM Intelligence,’ qualify this with whatever is required.”

For Healing: I had one student who so qualified the Electronic Circle about him

with the Power of healing that he was called the “Healing Shadow.” Of course it

was not the shadow that healed, but the moment people contacted his Electronic

Circle, they were healed instantly.

Understanding God as Love, why did God individualize Himself?
In order to have something to love.
Why were the Rays divided?
In order to express Love.

Love is the “Active Principle of God.” When you are loving, you are enfolding

what you are loving in that “Robe of God,” that Radiant Presence and Activity.

Never condemn. Try always to understand whenever there seems to be a wrong

sex activity, and lift the consciousness of the individual by focusing the attention

upon a high ideal of some kind in order to control the thought, so the sex activity

can come under conscious control of the individual through the use of his own

will.

The proper, clean use of the sex is for the expansion and expression of Love in

the procreation of a form, that the incoming soul may have an harmonious and

loving disposition and temperament. The thought and feeling of the parents are

the influencing, molding activity. The nature of the Life Principle of the individual

is to love.

BENEDICTION: Infinite God of Love! We give thanks for Thy Gracious Outpouring

today, for Thy Mighty Radiance filling all things everywhere. We give praise and

thanks that we have entered into Thy World where everything is so fair, where Thy

Radiance, creative with every thought, brings into Perfection all things held within

our thought.

NOTES

Raising the body: Nada raised her body 2,700 years ago. In the case of three

raising the body at one time, they might Ascend at the same moment, or within a

few weeks or months.

Controlling an animal: Use: ” ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there, and I command

silence there.” Also, look the animal in the eye and know that the Love of God

controls it.

The difference between Divine Compassion and human sympathy is as great as that

between Light and darkness. Divine compassion holds the student’s attention

anchored to the “Mighty I AM Presence,” calling It forth to produce Perfection.

Human sympathy is a rushing forth of energy qualified by a feeling of

imperfection, and but intensifies the imperfection already manifesting.

SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty Infinite Presence – Thou All-Pervading Healing

Presence! Descend and do Thy Work. Thou Mighty Infinite Intelligence! Give forth

Thy Confidence and Strength! Fill the mind and body of each one with Thy Radiant

Presence! Fill every cell with Thy Radiant Presence! Prove Thy Presence in Thy

Conquering Mastery and Power. Mighty Master Presence within each one —come

forth! Erase this outer human self and hold Thy Dominion now and forever. There

is but One Intelligence, Presence, Essence and Love, and this Thou art. Pour forth

Thy Radiance through these outer cloaks of flesh and command Thy Perfection to

thus be manifest and sustained.

I bring you Greetings from the Great Host, ever shedding their Radiance and

Intelligence.

Take the Command: ” ‘I AM’ the Pure Electronic Essence that fills my mind and

body, and I brook nothing else.” God in you is Master of all conditions at all times.

Say often: ” ‘I AM’ always the Victorious Presence of the Mighty ‘I AM.’ ”

Feel the mighty current of Electronic Essence fill your mind and body, erasing

instantly all inharmonious activity, and giving you the Consciousness of Mastery

and Victory.

Command: “Divine Presence! Pour Thy Radiance through this mind and body, and

see that Thy Wisdom directs always in every outer activity.”

THE DISCOURSE

Let us be conscious of the Healing Radiance filling this home. The great need

today is the healing of the nations and of individuals. As the individual is given

Assistance through the outpouring of the Electronic Energy through the mind and

body and filling every cell, so in an expanded degree is the nation treated likewise.

The nation is a great body of individuals and of Nature’s creations. We have the

same power, being the individualized Presence of God. Then we know: ” ‘I AM’

everywhere present, and when my consciousness takes on this expansion, I know

Its energy leaps into action everywhere, in the cells of the body of the world as

well as in the body of the individual.” We must come to know that the Active

Presence of God, All-Powerful, is everywhere present; that there is not a single

nook nor corner anywhere that the Active Presence of God is not; that this Active

Presence seizes and binds all human creation and consumes instantly everything of

an inharmonious and undesirable nature.

With the use of the Electronic Belt surrounding the individual, he must

understand that he can make this an absolutely Invincible Protection; through Its

Protection, Divine Wisdom acts, repelling everything through our conscious action

that shall not be taken into the system, and that this Omnipresent Wisdom and

Intelligence is always prompting us to refuse acceptance of anything into the

system, either through feeling, thought, or food that would in anywise disturb its

harmonious activity.

The Natural Activity of the Currents of Life play everywhere like the play of a

searchlight. The outer activity should at all times be an invitation to the receptivity

of the Currents of Life, which are Pure Cosmic Energy and which are ever flowing

through the atmosphere of the earth.

It is true that where there are conditions too dense for It to penetrate, It goes

over or under them, so to speak, and finds Its way onward just the same. Every

individual, since the beginning of this year, should come to understand that he is

walking and moving constantly within the reach of Mighty Healing Currents.

Through the Power of Cyclopea, the Secret Love Star, and the Rays from the Golden

City, currents of Healing Force of tremendous Power are consciously directed

through the atmosphere of the earth. These, you will understand, by their very

nature, being the Energy of God in Action, are therefore Self-sustained.

The consciousness in the individual of their presence will enable him to contact

these Rays at any time.

Students who have a feeling of patriotism and who wish to help the nation

should take the stand that these Healing Currents reach not only individuals, but

carry into conditions, environment and official places like an Intelligent Flame, and

are doing a work for the protection and uplift of the children of earth not

heretofore set into such powerful action since the creation of this planet.

The more individuals become truly and sincerely conscious of this operation, the

more can they become mighty Messengers of assistance in this most unusual

Work.

Through the conscious manifestation of the mental forces back of the

communists is the sinister influence with which We are dealing in the outer

world’s activity. Those who wish to be true Messengers will meditate upon this

idea until they have grasped the full import of it. They will use their conscious

effort, knowing that these Currents of Consuming Electronic Energy consciously

directed through the atmosphere of the earth cannot be interfered with; and that

in every sincere, conscious effort of the individual —in his desire to give his

assistance —there will flow a consciousness of this Energy that he has not hitherto

possessed.

Sometimes there are individuals of such a nature, that while wonderfully kind

and willing, the sudden consciousness that they need to let go of certain kinds of

food or other activity is a sort of shock to them. I would say to these individuals

that the Divine Intelligence within each one will cause them to naturally let go of

the things not in accordance with this Great Presence at every step of the way

when it is necessary. In order for an individual to consciously let go of a thing, he

must have something that he feels is stronger to which he can anchor. As students

become conscious of this, the confidence and strength will come to them to take

the step.

As I suggested once before, I would consciously, at least once or more a day,

stand on the floor and charge the home with this Pure Electronic Energy—and keep

it charged—so that God’s very Presence will keep out of the home, food, thought,

any kind of presence, and everything that is not in accordance with the desires

here.

I would suggest that whenever you find someone is coming you take the

consciousness: ” ‘I AM’ the Pure Radiance of Divine Love enfolding these

individuals, and this Garment enfolds them when they come and when they leave.”

When you are conscious of this, you clothe them and they will wear this Garment

into the home and out of it; and for them it will be a sustaining power.

Those who come into your home are deserving of assistance, and this will enable

them to receive the full assistance they desire and you will love to give.

No matter how great the knowledge attained, we at no time ever have the right

to force either the knowledge or the discipline upon anyone. Only as students

apply what they hear and receive can they ever know the Reality.

When you say “I AM,” you acknowledge the Power that breaks down all barriers

and conditions of opposition. This human self is just like a starving lion in the

jungle. It will tear anything to get what it wants to eat. In this state, the human

consciousness will tear its best friend to pieces to get its own way.

In any astral element there is that human desire element through which, unless

one shuts his mind entirely to the astral world, will constantly find himself

interrupted in a good decision—because he has left that door open to a force far

more subtle than is ever found in the outer world. Many think there are good

forces in the astral world. I tell you, no good force ever comes from the astral

world. Any good force that seems to come from there must come through it; but it

makes its own Tunnel of Light through which it comes.

In the first place, what makes the astral world? There is only one place where the

undesirable creation can find a home, and that is the next step to the human

activity, which is the astral realm. This realm of astral activity has within it all

undesirable creation accumulated through the centuries. Therefore, it is easy to see

at once that no good comes from any contact with the astral realm. IT HAS

NOTHING IN IT WHATSOEVER OF THE CHRIST.

There is as wide a difference between the astral realm of activity and what some

call the Star Astral as there is between Light and darkness. However, the so-called

Star Astral is again misunderstood. It is really called “Star Astrea.” It is really an

Activity, not a realm, and it is from the fourth sphere. The “Star Astrea” is a Cosmic

Being whose Work it is to consume all possible within the astral realm, and to

reach individuals whose attention seems to be drawn there. This Great Being will

sooner or later clear the understanding of such individuals and consume their

desire for any contact with that unhappy realm. No little children remain in the

astral realm. The home of children who leave the earth is in the etheric realm.

People who are in the body are in the same sphere when they sleep as the

disembodied. There is a Sustaining Consciousness of the “I AM Presence” which, if

one goes forth with It on going to sleep, through that sustaining Power one can

reach unbelievable Heights. If you have the Consciousness through the outer

expression of this “I AM Presence,” and you take this Consciousness with you as

you go into the other realms, It is a Sustaining Presence that is unbelievable.

There is an activity in the experience Life that demands the conscious recognition

and use of the “I AM Presence,” of God in Action. When you take that

Consciousness with you through the veil of sleep, the soul is able to function out

of the body with almost limitless Power.

Suppose there is a seeming need in the physical activity. Before going to sleep we

can say this: “Through the Mighty Power and Intelligence which ‘I AM,’ I go forth

while my body sleeps, make conscious contact with, and abundantly fulfill this

requirement, no matter what it is.”

Knowing that this activity is Self-sustained, it cannot fail in any way. It is a

mighty way of setting into motion the “I AM Presence.” Whatever the “I AM”

commands while the body sleeps must be obeyed.

I knew of one instance of this kind when there was need of protection. The one

using it had a certain consciousness of this Presence. The individual was falling

over a cliff, and this “I AM Presence” instantly built up a form, caught the

individual, and took him back to safety.

When one enters the conscious path and goes into any environment where there

might be danger, one should always do some quick, definite work on his

protection; for until one raises the body, he is always functioning more or less

where he is contacting the outer thought of humanity. If the student be climbing

the mountains, he must do conscious protective work. He must do the protective

work, and do it consciously.

If the student will always keep up his conscious protection, he will be able to

avoid the destruction of other individuals.

Steamship Protection: “God is the Almighty Power protecting and directing this

steamship; therefore, it moves in a zone of absolute safety.” On the conscious path,

you must be up and in action all the time. There are some who might think this is

a suggestion of fear, but it is not. It is a recognition of the Omnipresent Protective

Power.

Autos: “God is All-seeing and All-knowing, sees ahead, and will naturally avoid

undesirable contact.” When you say: “God is driving this car,” the Vision of God

goes ahead, sees blocks and miles ahead, and the prompting will come to go to the

street which is clear. “Because God is driving this car, our path is unobstructed in

every way.”

There are two reasons why students have accidents. First, because they have

become angry and opened the door. Second, because the student has lain down on

the job.

Whenever we do a thing with a positive, dynamic attitude, it gives confidence to

the outer, and it cannot fail.

To project an Electronic Belt around another, say: ” ‘I AM’ the Protective

Electronic Belt around ”

When you say,” ‘I AM’ the Protective Ring or Belt,” it means that the Electronic Belt

is instantly formed— invincible. Realize that when you say “I AM,” whatever is

commanded is All-Powerfully, instantly done. You cannot use the “I AM Presence”

without having instantaneous Activity.

Often say: ” ‘I AM’ the Omnipresent, All-Powerful, Protecting Intelligence

governing this mind and body.” It is instantly omnipresent there in action when

you say “I AM.” The “I AM” which is everywhere present is at that point doing the

work that moment. This is the way you set into action by the most direct means

the All-Powerful Action of the “I AM,” which is All in All.

Constantly remind the outer consciousness that when you say “I AM,” you have

set into action all the attributes of the Godhead.

You are now at a point when you should have instantaneous activity. When you

say, “I AM” in any condition, it means that instant action is taking place there by

the Greatest Power in the Universe. The moment you become conscious that “I

AM” is the Full Activity of God—containing all the attributes of the Godhead—you

do that moment have the full use of this Mighty Power.

Use often: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence producing this Master Home.” Get the

consciousness of the Mighty

Presence you are calling forth when you are using the “I AM.” I have always loved

to specify what I wanted to do. If I want health in my body I say: ” ‘I AM’ the

Presence charging this body with Pure, Electronic Energy.”

When you say: ” ‘I AM’ the Ascension of this physical body right now,” then you

have accepted and entered into that action right now. When you are striving for

the Light in unlimited action, you are striving for the Greatest Thing in the world.

Fill your world with the Presence which “I AM,” and when you do this, feel you are

doing it consciously.

If one will take the consciousness: ” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Activity of every organ

and cell of my body,” then it must manifest. You have but to be conscious of this,

and it must be.

Use often: ” ‘I AM’ Perfect Health now manifest in every organ of my body.” Put

your confidence in your “I AM” instead of some thing. Suppose you want great

intelligent activity, say: ” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Intelligent Activity in this body.” You

cannot do this looking to something outside.

To clear the mind, eyes, and ears:

” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Intelligence active in this brain.”

” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Sight looking through these eyes.”

” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Hearing through these ears.”

Go at these treatments with determination and they cannot fail. You have the

reins, now use them! Avoid all use of words that seem to be a reminder of limited

conditions.

When you are conscious of the “I AM,” you don’t care what anyone in this world

does. You must not be concerned about anything but your world. For squaring the

circle, use the “I AM” Activity. Pay no attention to what anyone says. Just say

specifically what you want to produce.

Say again and again: ” ‘I AM’ the only Presence acting in this.”

Say: ” ‘I AM’ the only Presence acting in my world.”

For finding things: ” ‘I AM’ the Intelligence and All-Seeing Eye which finds this.”

You will be amazed at the feeling that grows within when you do not have to

look to anything but the “I AM.”

Wipe out of your mind everything but the conscious operation of the “I AM,” for

It is the most Potent Power possible.

Get the sense of ease about producing these seeming miracles.

Suppose you want to illumine a room. Say: ” ‘I AM’ the illumination of this room.”

Then you act upon the electrons in the room. The

illumining of the atmosphere of a room is as easy as raising your hand. Your ability

to illumine a room is just as easy as physically illumining it through the electric

lamp. You can just as easily plug into the Universal current of electricity as

through the wires.

To make visible the illumination within your own body say: ” ‘I AM’ the visible

illumination through this body now.” Right within yourself is a focal point.

The “I AM” in you created everything in the Universe.

When you enter into the Confidence of the “I AM,” It will soon do away with all

obstruction. Use often: ” ‘I AM’ the Consuming Power and Presence of every bit of

fear, doubt, and questioning in my outer activity concerning this Invincible Activity

of the ‘I AM.’ ” Keep this up, and you will always know instantly what to do. You

can take this and use it, and thus remove every obstruction to the “I AM” Activity.

When you operate consciously, you know positively it is done.

The consciousness of an individual clothes the form with that individual’s own

concepts of it. When these are drawn about an individual who has generated a

certain energy, they impose upon him nothing but the things in his own world.

Whenever you feel a sudden joy impulse, grasp it, use it, and decree.

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Infinite Intelligence! We give praise and thanks for

Thy Mighty Comprehension and Mighty Manifestation in the consciousness of

those present. We give praise and thanks that “I AM” the Perfect Understanding in

operation, and that “I AM” everywhere present, performing all required to be done.

“I AM” the Illumination of everyone who looks to me. “I AM” the Radiant

Intelligent Activity in the minds of all mankind. “I AM” the Master acting in the

brain of everyone of humanity, causing Divine Love, Justice, Peace, Harmony and

Perfection to manifest to our Beloved America.

The Creative Fire that “I AM” is the Flame of God, His Master Presence, anchored

in the heart of every one of God’s children. While in some It is but a spark, yet

with the right touch, that spark can be fanned into a Creative Fire and Consuming

Flame.

This Mighty Presence, God, in Its myriad activities, is the Omnipresent Activity

that all may use without limit if they only will dismiss from their recognition the

outer appearance, which is but an appearance, and take their attention away from

that which has bound them through endless years.

Today, the Scepter of Power and Authority stands in the atmosphere before the

Single Eye of every advancing student. At first they may reach up mentally and

take the Scepter of Authority, using It in this way, until before they are scarcely

aware of it they will find It tangible and visible in their use at times.

It is no idle promise that those seeking the Light may again receive this

Dominion. When we go through a footpath in the forest, we know we may return

the same way if we wish, but we must make the decision. So after hundreds of

years of search in the outer for power and authority, we find that anything that

seems to be so is but shifting sand, and tomorrow it may be gone.

By the rejoicing acceptance of your God Dominion, you may step firmly upon the

sure foundation of the Rock of Truth, which is God, and from which no outer

disturbance can ever shake you—once you know from actual experience.

Students of Truth wonder why they cannot hold a firm anchor in their decision

to hold fast to the God Presence, which is their Dominion. They do not analyze

their outer expression to see what is lurking there to cause disturbance, question

and doubt; but for those who will take the authority which is theirs and probe

deep into their motives, it will be so easy to pluck out the tares from the Golden

Grain and soon be free from the disturbance that causes them to doubt themselves

and the very Presence of God which beats their hearts.

When students will be honest enough with themselves and their God, the “I AM

Presence,” to pluck out by the roots anything that is causing disturbance within

them and be able to feel the Mighty Light and Radiance of the Great God Self, they

will require little effort in loosing the “Great I AM Presence” in Love and

Intelligence—which is an ever- sustaining Power in strength, assurance, or

whatever they may need —in order to hold their feet firm upon the Rock of Truth,

which is one of the Great Jewels in God’s Kingdom. Its Dazzling Radiance will

enfold them upon the slightest invitation.

O Students of today! Hold fast to this Mighty

Presence which beats your hearts, whose Life flows through your veins, whose

Energy flows through your mind! You have free will and can qualify and bless it to

your Perfection or imperfection. Always remember that through your failure to

turn to this Mighty Presence—by which you find you have created inhar- mony and

disorden—you must give yourselves ample time to gain the full recognition of this

Mighty Power and give It full activity in your Life.

Do not become impatient because things do not work out as rapidly as you

would like them to. They can only work according to the speed of your acceptance

and the intensity of your feeling.

The Mighty Energy that surges through your mind into your body is the Pure

Electronic Energy of God, the “Mighty I AM Presence.” If your thought is joyously

held upon your God Self as the Source of your Being and Life, that Pure Electronic

Energy continues to act unabated, uncontaminated by human, discordant

qualification; but knowingly or unknowingly, if you let your thought begin to

gather from the discord by which it is so often surrounded, you change the color

and quality of this Radiant Pure Energy.

It must act, and you are the one who shall choose how it shall act to you. Don’t

ever think you can get away from this simple fact. It is an Immutable Law of God,

and no human being can ever change It. Students must understand and maintain

this attitude

if they wish to make steady progress.

I tell you beloved students, you may rage and doubt and fear and rebel all you

please at Self-correction; but it is the open door to your Mighty Illumination and

Freedom from all limitation in the outer world of activity.

There are a great many students, when they come to a certain point of

understanding—where all the results of their activity are revealed to them and they

look upon the many mistakes that have been made which must be corrected

—become despondent, critical, and condemnatory to themselves and God. This is a

great mistake again. Everything that is revealed to them in which they find they

have been making a mistake should make them rejoice exceedingly—that the things

are revealed which need correcting. Knowing that God is the Power to think, then

they know they have the Power to correct this and should joyfully set to work to

do so.

The Power of God’s Life which beats their hearts is absolute proof that they have

the Intelligence and Power of God within them by which they may dissolve and

consume all the mistakes and discordant creation they have consciously or

unconsciously drawn about them. They may say to this undesirable creation: ” ‘I

AM’ the Mighty Consuming Flame that now and forever consumes all past and

present mistakes, their cause and effect, and all undesirable creation for

which my outer is responsible.”

It seems so strange that students seem to have such difficulty in fixing the

anchorage and recognition of the Limitless Power they are wielding when they say

“I AM.” When the intellect, which is the outer activity, knows this, then the

students should intensify it with all their power by the intense feeling of the Truth

of this. Then they would find greatly added speed and Power in their active use. I

tell you, Dear Students, you have come to a time when you can use this Power with

great authority to free yourselves from the chains of limitation that have bound

you so long.

Set about it with joyous determination to put your house in order. If you were

going to have a distinguished guest, I doubt not that you would spend days

working earnestly—cleaning, washing, polishing, and preparing for this guest. How

much more important it is to prepare for this Great Prince of Love and Peace—the

Prince of Consuming Fire that dwells within you and controls the element of fire.

When one thinks of Oromasis, Prince of the Fiery Element, it is the Flame of

Creative Fire within that is calling to Him for Assistance in the quickening of this

Creative Power—and brings results unimaginable.

There has been no time in My Memory when there was so much natural

assistance at hand for the student of Light for his use as there is at this time, and

the students should take advantage of this with joyous intensity.

When you speak in the Name, Power, and Authority of the “Mighty I AM,” you

are releasing limitless energy to do your bidding to fulfill your desire. Why longer

allow doubt and fear to beset you when ” ‘I AM’ the Open Door which no man can

shut into the great Opulence of God—waiting, surging to press forward to heal, to

bless, and to prosper you arbundantly.” Dare to be, to feel, to use this Mighty

Authority—God in youl

Beloved Students, do you not realize that you can express Perfection by taking

your determined stand with sufficient intensity that: ” ‘I AM’ the Mighty Electronic

Energy flowing through, filling and renewing every cell of my mind and body

—right now.” Do you not see, with sufficient intensity of this, in a few minutes or

hours you could dispel any disturbing condition in the mind or body and allow

that Mighty, Pure Energy to do its work, uncolored, unaffected by any discordant

element in your own thought?

You can renew any nerve, any organ, and build any member of the body into its

Perfection almost immediately. Oh why not feel this, apply It, and as you begin to

experience the remarkable results, your confidence will leap into its Perfect

Activity, and your mind will have all confidence in this Mighty Presence and Power

and Its omnipresent limitless use.

When there is a seeming lack of energy, take your determined, joyous stand: ” ‘I

AM’ the Mighty

Presence of this Alert, Radiant Energy, surging through my mind and body,

dismissing everything unlike Itself. I take my stand in this Alert, Radiant Energy

and Joy for all time.” You can pass this Pure Energy through your mind and body as

I would pass My Hand down before you.

At first, because you do not seem to feel any great magnetic electronic force pass

over you, does not in any way indicate that you have not received this Mighty

Energy which you have commanded with authority to flow through your mind and

body.

One may say the same thing to his affairs that may not be according to his desire

for Perfect Expression. The student can stand and call forth the Mighty Presence of

the “I AM”; send It forth into his business and world; command It to consume

everything unlike Itself, and replace all with the Mighty Perfection of God—which

“I AM”; command It to be Self- sustained, and cause that Perfection to manifest his

unceasing authority and power, and cleanse his world of every discordant thing,

for ” ‘I AM’ the Supreme Authority, God in Action.”

One does not need to do this with any tension, or to the extent that he creates

tension in the action of the body, but he can rise in the Supremacy and Dignity of

the Authority of God, and cleanse everything needing it. In doing this, one need not

speak in a loud voice, but in a very low, masterful tone.

Stand in the room by yourself and declare: ” ‘I AM’ Master of my world. ‘I AM’

the Victorious, Intelligence governing it. I send forth into my world this Mighty,

Radiant, Intelligent Energy of God. I command It to create all Perfection—to draw

to me the Opulence of God made visible in my hands and use. ‘I AM’ no longer the

Babe of Christ, but the Master Presence grown to Full Stature, and I speak and

command with authority.”

Thus one may consume the mistakes and imperfection he may have created, and

in the authority of the “I AM,” recreate —immediately—the Perfection he desires.

Know that it is constantly Self-sustained, so long as you do not intrude upon it the

discordant activity of your thought and feeling.

I want so much to have you feel that you are the Only Authority in this world or

any other, so far as your world is concerned. Do not ever fear that the perfecting

of your world is going to disfigure anyone else’s world, so long as your intent is

not to harm anyone. It does not matter what the world about you says, or how

much they try to intrude upon you their doubts, fears and limitations. You are the

Supreme Authority in your world, and all you have to do is to say, when you are

beset by those conditions: ” ‘I AM’ the Mighty, Magic Circle of Protection about me

that is Invincible and repels from me every discordant thought and element which

seeks to find entrance or intrude itself. ‘I AM’ the Perfection of my world, and it is

Self-sustained.”

O Beloved OnesI It is no longer necessary to wonder, waver, and question: ” ‘I

AM’ the Authority.” Go on—dare to be—and use this Authority of God which is

expressing in the “I AM” of everything. Why not be fearless? You have been

wanting the Presence of the Great Ascended Ones: ” ‘I AM’ the Visible Presence of

those greatly beloved Ascended Masters whom I wish to have appear here to me,

and whose Assistance I desire.”

You have come to the point where you can dismiss all discord from your minds.

Fill your minds with this Pure Electronic Essence, and no discord can enter—so long

as you keep it filled with this “Presence.” I tell you again, you are the Authority in

your world, and if your thought is filled with this Essence, then no discord will

touch it. We are going to take this Authority and use it, clear away all discord, and

declare with no uncertainty: ” ‘I AM’ the Supremacy of man, everywhere I go! ‘I AM’

God in Action.”

BENEDICTION: Mighty Creative Fire, we give praise and thanks for Thy Great

Omnipresence today, to heal, to bless, and to prosper everywhere. Enter into the

hearts of mankind with Thy Creative Presence and Genius, and let the Full Divine

Justice of Thy Supremacy reign throughout the land in all official places. See that

all authority is in the hands of Thy trained and trusted Messengers; that they may

govern fully all governmental offices in America, and be ever divinely sustained;

that America be healed, blessed, and forever prosper; that all sinister influence be

consumed and forever repelled from within the borders of America.

NOTES

The Host of Angels rejoice at the return of the wanderer who has come back

home—who has sought authority so long in the outer, and found only husks. After

his energy is wasted, he comes back home, and there is the Fountain to recharge,

rebuild him against all the discrepancies called old age. Thus you can stand forth

renewed again in the fullness of Youth and Power, for such is The Way of Life

—God’s Life.

It keeps the most marvelous vibratory action expressing for each one to speak

gently. It is perfectly wonderful if you could see the Inner action of it.

Let each one enter into the Happiness and Love of Perfect Obedience, and liberate

the Great Power of God. If one just lets go of the outer and enters into the Inner,

every discord lets go at once.

ETHERIC CITIES: Over the principal deserts there are Etheric Cities. Over the

Arizona desert is the Etheric City in America. There is one over the Sahara and one

over the Gobi.

The one over Brazil is the Etheric City for South America.

Humanity should know and be made to realize that again, again, and again, the

inhabitants of cities pass out through so-called death and re-embody in that same

place, because attachments have been formed that draw them back into the same

environment again. The student who has to re-embody should take the command

that: “The next time I will be born into a family of Great Light.” This would open

the door to great speed in his progress.

SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Infinite, All-Pervading Presence —Thou Mighty Master within

each human forml We acknowledge and accept Thy Full Presence manifest within

these forms and within the human form of every individual that God has sent

forth. We give praise and thanks that at last we have become aware of this Mighty

Presence to Whom we can turn and recognize the Fullness of God’s Activity, the “I

AM” of all things.

Greetings to you all.

THE DISCOURSE

When Jesus said: ” ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life,” He gave forth one of the

mightiest utterances that can well be expressed.

When He said “I AM,” He did not refer to the outer expression, but He did refer

to the Mighty Master Presence—God Within, because He repeatedly said: “I of my

self can do nothing. It is the Father within— the ‘I AM’ —that doeth the works.”

Again Jesus said: ” ‘I AM’ the Way, the Life, and the Truth,” giving recognition to

the One and Only Power — God in Action within him.

Again He said: ” ‘I AM’ the ‘Light’ that lighteth every man that cometh into the

world,” prefacing every Statement of vital importance with the Words “I AM.”

Contemplating “I AM” as anything and everything you wish to be is one of the

mightiest means of loosing the Inner God Power, Love, Wisdom and Truth, and

setting It into action in the outer experience.

Again let us refer to His mighty utterance, perhaps one of the greatest ever

spoken into the outer expression: ” ‘I AM’ the Open Door which no man can shut.”

Do you not see how very vital this is when you come to review understandingly

these Mighty Statements?

When you recognize and accept fully “I AM” as the Mighty Presence of God in

you—in action—you will have taken one of the greatest steps to liberation.

Now mark you, in the utterance of the Truth that, ” ‘I AM’ the Open Door which

no man can shut,” if you can but realize it, you have the key that allows you to

step through the veil of flesh, carrying with you all consciousness that you have

generated or accumulated which is imperfect; and there transmute it, or in other

words, raise it into that Perfection into which you have stepped.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of contemplating as often

as possible the “I AM” as the Mighty, Active Presence of God in you, in your home,

in your world, in your affairs. Every breath you breathe is God in Action in you.

Your ability to express or send forth thought and feeling is God acting in you. You,

having free will, it is entirely up to you to qualify the energy sent forth in your

thought and feeling, and determine how it shall act for you.

No one can say: “How shall I know how to qualify this energy?” for everyone

knows the difference between destructive and constructive thought, feeling, and

action.

The student, in receiving instruction, should constantly analyze the motive back

of the question to detect if in that motive there is a feeling of intellectual pride,

arrogance or stubbornness in the outer mind and body. If there is within the

motive a lurking desire to argue and prove the instruction wrong rather than

receive the Blessing and Truth intended, the individual has unknowingly shut the

door, for the time being, to his ability to receive the good offered.

Again may I remind the students, regardless of their personal opinions as to

what the Truth shall be, I have proven through many centuries, these condensed

Instructions now being given forth. If one wants to receive the greatest benefit

possible and the comprehension that will be absolute, certain freedom and

liberation, listen with an entirely open mind, with the consciousness that the “I

AM” —the Active Presence of God in you —is your certain ability to receive, accept,

and apply without limit the Instruction which is being given forth with an

accompanying Radiance—which will enable certain students at this time to

comprehend these simple, yet mighty Assertions of Truth to their great Blessing

and Freedom.

The admonition has been before humanity through many centuries: “Ye cannot

serve two masters.” Why is this so? First: because there is only One Intelligence,

One Presence, One Power that can act, and that is the Presence of God acting in

you. When you turn to the outer manifestation and give all kinds of expressions

and appearances power, you are attempting to serve a false, usurping master,

because the outer expression can only find an appearance through the use of God’s

Mighty Energy.

Your ability to lift your hand and the Life flowing through the nervous system of

your outer form is “God in Action” in your body, through your mind.

Dear Students, try to use this simple means as a reminder of God in Action in

you. When you start to go down the street, think for an instant: “This is God’s

Intelligence and Power by which I walk, and this is His Intelligence by which I

know where ‘I AM’ going.” Thus you will see that it is no longer possible to go on

without understanding that every move you make is God in Action. Every thought

in your mind is God’s Energy, which enables you to think. When you know this is a

fact—and there is no disputing it— why not adore, give full confidence to, trust in,

have faith in, and accept this Mighty Presence of God in Action in you; instead of

looking to the outer expression which is clothed, qualified, and colored by the

outer, or human concept of things, regardless of the One Mighty Presence which

enables the outer to express.

All outer form and its attendant expression is but the experience Life by which

each individual may learn—through his own experiences—the True Source of his

Being, and come again into the Fullness of Perfection, through the Self-conscious

knowing thus attained.

The outer experience of Life is but a constant, changing, passing picture that the

outer mind has created in its pretense (imagination) of being the Real Actor. Thus

is the attention so constantly fixed upon the outer, which alone contains

imperfection, that the Children of God have forgotten their own Divinity and

must come back to It again.

God is the Giver, the Receiver, and the Gift, and is the Sole Owner of all the

intelligence, substance, energy and opulence there is in the Universe.

If the Children of God would learn to give for the joy of giving, whether it be

love, money, service, or whatever it may be, they would open the door to such

vast opulence that it would be impossible to want for a single thing in the outer

expression.

The unfortunate thing in humanity—which has caused such rampant selfishness

and unprecedented condemnation of each other—is the idea of claiming ownership

to these wonderful Blessings of God; for there is but One Love acting, One

Intelligence, Power and Substance, and that is God in every individual. The

Warning that should be placed before every student and individual is to guard

against the desire of the outer self to claim power of its own. If in every act of the

personality, God were given full credit, transformations unbelievable could not

help taking place in the one thus giving full credit and power where it belongs.

There has rarely been a correct understanding of supply and demand. There is

positively abundant supply omnipresent, but the demand for it must be made

before the Law of the Universe permits it to come into the expression and use of

the individual.

The individual, having free will, must consciously, with full determination, make

the demand, and it cannot fail to come forth into expression—no matter what it is

—so long as the individual holds an unwavering, determined consciousness.

This simple Statement used with sincere determination: ” ‘I AM’ the great

Opulence of God made visible in my use right now and continuously,” will bring

to the individual all he can possibly use.

The limiting element so many students seem to be unaware of is that they start

out declaring the Truth, for instance, as in the above Statement, but before many

hours have passed over their heads, if they were to analyze themselves

conscientiously, they would find in their feelings lurking doubt or fear, for both

these are feelings. Naturally, this neutralizes to a large extent the constructive

force that would quickly bring about the fulfillment of the desire or demand.

Once a student can become fully aware that every right desire or wish is God in

Action, propelling his energy forth to full accomplishment, and is always Selfsustained,

he would become aware of the Limitless Love, Power and Intelligence he

has with which to accomplish any given purpose.

With this simple understanding, the word failure would be completely wiped

out from his world, and in a very short time from his consciousness, because he

would see that he was wielding Intelligence and Power that could not fail. Thus,

students and individuals come into their Full Dominion as God intends. It was

never intended by the Great, All-wise, All-loving Father that any of His children

should want for a single thing; but because they allow their attention to become

fixed on the outer appearance, which is like the changing sands of the desert, they

have, knowingly or unknowingly, cut themselves off, to a large degree, from that

Great Opulence and Intelligence.

This Great Opulence is their birthright which everyone can have who will again

turn to the “I AM” — the Active Principle of God forever within himself— as the

Only Source of Active Life, Intelligence and Opulence.

All through the ages there have been certain standards of conduct necessary for

the student who desires to reach beyond certain attainments. This is the conserving

and governing of the Life Force, through the sex.

For an individual who has been using this energy without any thought of

governing it to suddenly say, “I will cease this,” cut it off as it were, without

understanding the correct attitude of consciousness, would be simply suppressing

a flow of energy which he has caused to flow in the wrong direction. Any student

who wishes to govern this will find this simple Statement the most efficient—if

used understanding^—of any one particular thing that can be given. This will

normally and naturally govern the flow of the Life Energy and bring it back into

its natural channels. It is the Mighty Statement of Jesus: ” ‘I AM’ the Resurrection

and the Life.”

This Statement will not only purify the thought, but is the most powerful,

lifting, adjusting force that can be used for the correction of this greatest of

barriers to the Full Height of Spiritual Attainment. Anyone who begins to feel the

Inner Impulse to correct this condition and will use this Statement earnestly and

continuously will raise this marvelous current of energy to the highest center in

the brain, as was originally intended.

He will find his mind flooded with the most marvelous ideas—with the abundant,

sustaining Power and ability coming into expression and use for the blessing of all

mankind. I ask any student to try this and watch the results in his own mind and

body.

Feel deeply this Statement of Jesus: ” ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life.” Repeat

it three times, either silently or audibly, and notice the lifting of consciousness

which you will experience. There may be some who will need to try this several

times in order to feel the amazing uplift that others will experience at the first

trial. This will show you in a small way what can be done by its continued use.

There is only one means of overcoming, or rising out of anything, and that is,

after you know what it is you are to rise out of, to take your outer attention

completely away from it, fixing it firmly upon the above Statement. Any condition

in the outer experience that one wishes to overcome can readily be accomplished

by the use of this Statement, as well as using it to change the flow of the

misdirected energy.

I had one student who felt the Inner Impulse to redirect this Mighty Energy, and

the use of this single Statement alone enabled her with little assistance to raise her

body. In one year a marvelous transformation

took place in her entire outer appearance.

It seems incredible that in the recorded Statements accredited to Jesus —which

were only a part of what He really gave forth—that so few of humanity would

receive the mighty import of those wonderful Words of Wisdom. At no time in the

history of the world have so many Mighty Statements been given as He taught.

Every one of these, when conscientiously used, holds within it the attendant

Radiance and accomplishment with which He attained. You not only have this

Power of the “I AM,” but His individual Assistance also when these Statements are

used. One should often contemplate the true meaning of these Mighty Statements

of Jesus. When once you understand that your thought, feeling and expression of “I

AM” sets the Mighty God Power in you into action—without any limit —then you

receive that upon which the desire is fixed.

It should be no trouble for the student to see and understand that the outer

appearance is but man’s distorted creation—by claiming the outer as a source of

power—when a moment’s contemplation will cause him to realize that there is but

One Love, Intelligence, and Power which can act, and that is God.

The human, or outer defects or discrepancies, have nothing to do with the

Omnipresent Perfection of God, for anything imperfect is the creation of the outer

concept of mankind.

If man will turn to the “Mighty I AM” within, knowing that God is all Perfection,

and that all outer appearance is but man’s creation through the misuse of the God

Power, he will see at once that if he sincerely contemplates and accepts the

Perfection of God, he will cause to come into manifestation in his Life and

experience this same Mighty Perfection.

There is no possible means of bringing this Perfection into your mind, body and

outer experience except by knowing and accepting the Mighty, Active Presence of

God in you. Such full recognition will cause this Inner Power to propel this

Perfection of God into your outer visible experience.

Say to students: ” ‘I AM’ putting forth, as a Messenger of this Truth, Statements

of Truth which will positively produce results —if unwaveringly held to and used.”

Students think things do not work because they do a thing today and forget it all

next week.

The desire for Light and Truth is the Presence of God in the desire— propelling

Itself forth into action. For illumination use the Statement:

” ‘I AM’ the full comprehension and illumination of this thing I want to know

and understand.”

The day your eyes are opened to see some of these Marvelous Ascended Beings,

the joy will last through eternity.

If one does not take the attitude that: “I have the ability to do this,” he never in

the world can accomplish the thing he wishes to do.

The moment you express, ” ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life” —in thought and

feeling—it immediately turns all the energy of your Being to the center in the brain

which is the Source of your Being.

You cannot overestimate the Power in this Statement. There is no limit to what

you can do with it. It was the Statement that Jesus used most in his most difficult

trials.

Always know that when you decree a constructive thing, it is God in you

propelling you to do it.

It is the most foolish question imaginable to ask, “Have you proved this in your

own experience?” Each individual has to prove it for himself or it will mean

nothing to him. Nothing ever really means anything to anyone until he uses it.

The feeling carries with it a certain coexistent sight. One often feels a thing with

such clearness that he really sees it from the Inner Standpoint.

As you enter the Ascended State, thought, feeling, seeing, and color are almost

simultaneously manifest.

Harmonious sound is quiet. This is why ravishing music is the most quieting in

its effect, while bombastic music is just the opposite.

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Majestic, Conquering “I AM,” we give praise and

thanks for our comprehension of Thee as God Acting in us; and with Thy Mighty

Presence and Radiance, cause us to feel the Mighty Import of Thy Mighty Truth

and Wondrous Presence. When we contemplate Thee, let Thy Mighty Radiance fill

us with that comprehending Consciousness to know and apply Thy Assertions of

Truth more and more perfectly. We give praise and thanks for Thy Mighty

Perfection and Truth for all those who look unwaveringly to Thee.

SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Infinite, Mighty Presence, Thou All-Pervading Principle of

Life! We give praise and thanks for Thy Wondrous Activity through all outer

presence. Out of Thy Mighty Essence comes all that is, and oh! that humanity

might understand, Thou art ever and forever Self-sustained. Thou Mighty, Active

Principle of Life, surge forth in the outer activity of mankind and manifest Thy

Supreme Justice now in all places.

Mighty Presence of Light—God in Action! govern the minds of mankind, holding

them to Truth and Justice, and see that Thy Messengers are placed in all official

positions. Let naught of the outer interfere, that none of humanity may accept any

thought of deception.

Mighty Presence of God in Action, surge forth in the minds of all, expressing

Thy Conquering Presence.

Greetings: I bring you Greetings from the Perfected Ones, who are watching

closely over and ministering to all.

THE DISCOURSE

Life, in all Its Activities everywhere manifest, is God in Action; and it is only

through lack of the understanding of applied thought and feeling that mankind is

constantly interrupting the pure flow of that Perfect Essence of Life which would,

without interference, naturally express Its Perfection everywhere.

The natural tendency of Life is Love, Peace, Beauty, Harmony, and Opulence, for

Life cares not who uses It, but is constantly surging to pour more of Its Perfection

into manifestation, always with that lifting process which is ever inherent within

Itself.

” I A M “

“I AM” is the Activity of “That Life.”

How strange it is that students with sincere interest do not seem to get the True

Meaning of those two words.

When you say and feel “I AM,” you release the spring of Eternal, Everlasting Life

to flow on Its way unmolested. In other words, you open wide the door to Its

natural flow. When you say “I AM not,” you shut the door in the face of this Mighty

Energy.

“I AM” is the Full Activity of God.

Having placed before you so often the Truth of God in Action, I wish you to

understand Its first expression in individualization. The first expression of every

individual, everywhere in the Universe, either in spoken word, silent thought or

feeling, is “I AM,” recognizing Its Own Conquering Divinity.

The student, endeavoring to understand and apply these mighty, yet simple Laws,

must stand guard more strictly over his thought and expression —in word or

otherwise; for every time you say “I AM not,” “I cannot,” “I have not,” you are,

whether knowingly or unknowingly, throttling that “Great Presence” within you.

This is just as tangible as if you placed your hands about the throat of an outer

form, only with the outer form, your thought governing the hand, you can release

it at any time; but when you make a declaration using the words “I AM not,” you

set in motion Mighty, Limitless Energy that continues to act, unless it is recalled

and the imperfection consumed and transmuted.

This shows you the enormous power you have to qualify this Mighty Energy of

God, and I tell you Beloved Students, dynamite is less dangerous, for that would but

liberate you from the body; while these thoughts sent forth ignorantly and

ungoverned bind you upon the wheel of re-embodiment indefinitely.

Thus you can see how important it is for you to know what you are doing when

you thoughtlessly use wrong expressions; because you are using the Most Divine

Principle of Activity in the Universe — “I AM.”

Do not misunderstand me —this is no idle, foreign, or Oriental expression, but

the Highest Principle of Life used and expressed throughout every civilization that

has ever existed—for the first expression every Self-conscious form of Life gives is

“I AM.” It is only afterwards, in its contact with outer, wrongly qualified activity, that

it begins to accept anything less than “I AM.”

Now Dear Students, do you not see that when you say “I AM sick,” you are just

reversing this Principle of Life, which is naturally all Perfection; thus requalifying

it by your willful ignorance with something which it never naturally possessed?

Through long centuries of willful misunderstanding, humanity has charged the

very atmosphere about them with falsehood and unreality, for I need not say to

you that when you say “I AM sick,” it is an abject falsehood in respect to your

Divinity, which cannot be sick.

Does this sound harsh to you?

Then I say, think it over, and you will see what a blessing and release it can be to

you.

I say to you, Dear Students, in the Name of God, stop using these wrong

expressions of your Godhead, of your Divinity, for it is impossible for you to have

Freedom as long as you continue to do it. I cannot speak of this to you too often:

that when you really recognize and accept the Mighty Presence of God in you,

there are positively no adverse conditions.

STOP! I say to you, giving power to the outer conditions, persons, places or

things, and in the Name of God, every time you find yourself starting to say “I AM

sick,” “I AM broke,” “I AM not feeling well,” instantly reverse this fatal condition to

your progress; and declare silently with all the intensity of your being—”I AM”

—which is all health, opulence, Perfection, happiness, peace, and the power to

recognize Perfection in yourself and everywhere else.

When you think of the expression “I AM,” it means that you know you have God

in Action expressing in your Life. Do not let these false expressions continue to

govern and limit you. Continually remind yourself: “I live, move, and have my

Being and all outer expression in the full opulence of God, made manifest every

moment.”

In thus reminding yourself of this Invincible, Unconquerable Presence, you keep

the door open for Its pure, Invincible Essence and Intelligence to weave into your

outer expression that wondrous Perfection.

I plead with you, Dear Ones everywhere, do not continue to use these wrong

expressions thinking that in some hocus-pocus way you may slide past reaping the

result. IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE DONE.

Many of you know that they use the branding- iron on the Western Frontier as a

recognition of ownership by the ranchmen. So great is my desire to have you

recognize and hold fast to the active Presence of God in you, that I almost long for

a branding-iron to brand those words— “I AM” —into your consciousness for

constant use; that you could not be drawn off the recognition, acceptance, and use

of that Mighty, Glorious Presence of God, which you are.

I trust that all who may hear or read these words will feel the Power and the

Mighty Conviction of this Truth that goes with them — leaping into action

wherever expressed.

If at any time anything less than Perfection attempts to make an appearance in

your experience, declare vehemently that it is not true, and that you accept only

God, which is Perfection in your Life, everywhere manifest. As long as you give way

to accepting false appearances, you will have them expressed in your Life and

experience. It is not, Dear Student, a matter of belief on your part whether you

accept these Truths or not, but they are the Law, proven through long centuries of

experience,and are placed before you for your Freedom.

Awaken to the fact that your thought and feeling in the past have built —created

—the inharmony of your world today. Arisel I say, Arise! and walk with the Father

—the “I AM” —that you may be free from these limitations. There is only one thing

in this Universe that can surround you with limitation, and that is accepting the

outer appearance instead of the Mighty, Active Presence of God in you.

The Western World likes to fool itself with the idea that it refuses to accept the

ancient and Eastern idea of sorcery—in other words, the misuse of the Spiritual

Powers. The worst kind of sorcery is being used in the political fields today that

has ever been known in the history of mankind through the use of mental power

—wrongly qualified.

If this same tremendous mental force were used in just the reverse way, to know

that there is only God in Action in every individual filling official places, the sender

of that quality or Truth would not only be free himself, but the political world

would be filled with Freedom and Justice. Then we would experience a natural

world, a world of God in Action—everywhere present.

It is today as it was at one time in Egypt. Those who misuse the mental power

are binding themselves to the rack of inharmony, embodiment after embodiment.

Take the stand: “I do not take on conditions from anybody or anything about me

but God — Good, and ‘I AM’ always God-commanded.” You need to acquire the habit

of stilling yourself. Sit down three or four times a day and simply still the outer

self. This will let the energy be supplied. Learn to command and control the energy

in your body. If you want the energy still—be still. If you want the energy active

—be active. You must stand up, face a thing, and rise above it. There is no other

way.

The student should watch in every way for habits and break them up. He should

not have to be told, but must look within himself and uproot whatever is not

Perfect. This brings a freedom not possible in any other way.

The holding on of old habits is just like wearing old, worn-out garments. The

student must not wait for someone else to think these things out for him. He

must do it himself. It is not possible for anyone to do it but himself.

In this Work and under this Radiation, everything that is latent in the individual

is being brought forth to be consumed. Watch —that the attention does not become

fixed on the thing you do not want.

It is perfectly ridiculous to keep recalling things which have not worked out. If

you have built your limitations for centuries and can, by this attention and selfeffort,

free yourself in a few years, isn’t it worth it? Is it not marvelous?

A humorous sense of getting away from a thing is sometimes the quickest and

most powerful way of doing it, for a buoyant, joyous feeling releases the energy

that many times enables a very wonderful manifestation to take place.

If one will buckle down to brass tacks and call on the Law of Forgiveness, he can

then consume all past creations in the Consuming Flame and be free. You must be

conscious that the Flame is the Active Presence of God doing the consuming.

The Freedom of God is here in action.

When you have a feeling to do a certain constructive thing, go ahead, stick to it

and do it, if the heavens fall. Whether the manifestation comes now or not should

not enter into your consciousness at all.

Even when students only know a thing intellectually, they should not allow the

mind to keep recalling wrong conditions when they know what this activity does

to their success. It is unbelievable that people will not conquer this enemy in their

consciousness. No student can ever gain the victory until he stops turning back to

the old, negative conditions he is trying to get rid of.

The whole work of a teacher is to get some means and explanation over to the

student of the activity of acceptance. What the mind accepts is that which the

individual agrees with through his attention, by letting the two become one. When

the mind accepts and agrees with a thing or condition, the individual decrees it

into his world. Whatever you let the attention rest upon, you are agreeing with and

accepting, because through the attention you have let the mind become one with

it.

If an individual were to see a rattlesnake coiled, would he walk right up to be

struck? Certainly not! Yet this is what students are doing when they let their

attention turn back to their troubles. Such habits are only past momentum given a

specific quality.

There are only two activities in Life, and if you will not let the Inner govern

according to Its plan of Perfection, then the outer must.

When a constructive picture is flashed to your mind, it is a reality. When you

recall it as a mental picture and hold it again, it calls forth the reality.

One can become so aware of his own God Presence that at any time he can see

and feel Its Radiance pouring out to him.

For things it does not want, the outer has all the confidence in the world. It is up

to the student to compel it to have the same confidence for the Perfection of God

that it has for the imperfection of the senses.

The student must always rely on himself. He must always think, “What can I do

to intensify this activity from the hints given?”

BENEDICTION: Mighty Perfected Ones! As we receive Thy Magic Circle of

Protection, as we receive and are enfolded in Thy Mighty Opulent Presence, O

Master Within! we accept fully that Opulence made manifest in our outer

experience and use. We give praise and thanks for Thy Wisdom in Its use. We give

praise and thanks that we have the full strength to accept only Thy Mighty Active

Presence at all times, and to refuse acceptance to anything unlike Thee.
