DEDICATION

THIS Book of The “I AM” Discourses by the Ascended Master Youth, Beloved Bob, isdedicated in Eternal Gratitude to the Beloved Seven Mighty Elohim of Creation, who haveguarded and assisted the “I AM” Ascended Master Youth to the Victorious Fulfillment of TheirElohim Divine Plan for our Blessed America and the World.

These Dictations were given through our Beloved Accredited Messenger, Mr. Guy W.Ballard, pen name Godfré Ray King; and it is with our great love, gratitude, and blessings that wepresent this series of Dictations to the Beloved Four Children—the Ascended Masters Bob, Rex,Nada, and Pearl—who have been the Example to all the young people of the World. May TheirObedience given to the Great Cosmic Law be an Inspiration to every young person on the planet,and through this same obedience, may they too accomplish the same Goal—the Victory of theAscension in the Light.

May the reader be raised a Spiral Higher when studying these Mighty Words of Instruction,and be made so strong and obedient that at any time the Great Ones may use them and givewhatever Assistance is required for the God Protection of our Blessed Nation.

The “I AM” Ascended Master Youth are the Builders of the Incoming Golden Age; and in theName of the “Beloved Mighty I AM Presence” of every young person on the planet, we call to theSeven Mighty Elohim, the Builders of all Creation, to enfold each one in Their Immortal Flame ofCosmic Love, which compels the Fulfillment of their every God Desire.

The Great Elohim of Purity says: “Beloved Ones, you have no idea the Blessings that can fillyou and your world, that you can call forth to free others; and My Dear Ones, sometimes when aLife Stream is struggling in the dark, trying to seek its way to Freedom, and knows not where tofind the Light, maybe just one Call from you will be a Flash of Light into the darkness of that LifeStream’s human creation that holds the outer self to the constructive way of Life, turns it away fromthe hordes of the shadows, and allows the Higher Mental Body to have Its Dominion through theouter self.”

The Youth must carry the responsibility of the future in government, education, business, andall other phases of our country’s daily activities. They need more than human help and protection—they need God’s Help and God’s Protection to save them from the encroaching threats ofdesecration which seek to destroy the ideals, minds, and bodies of the Blessed Youth, the youngergeneration, and the incoming children.

A conscious Knowledge of each one’s own Individualized God-Presence—the “BelovedMighty I AM Presence”—as given in this Great “I AM” Ascended Master Instruction fromBeloved Saint Germain and the Great Ones, would enable every young person to call forth his orher own Protection and Illumination, thereby assisting America and their own nations to fulfillGod’s Great Destiny.

Until each youth comes to this conscious Knowledge of the “I AM,” which is the Great Lawof Life, we call to their own Individualized “Presence” to enfold them in Cosmic Christ Blessings;and may this Book, and all Books of the Saint Germain Series, reach every Youth in the World andenfold them in Beloved Bob’s Ascended Master Radiation, Love, Wisdom, and Power, to assisteach one to achieve the greatest Heights of Attainment in their service to Life and humanity.

It is a great privilege for the “I AM” Ascended Master Youth to meet annually at their two-week Conclave held at Shasta Springs, which is located near beautiful Mount Shasta in northern

California. These Conclaves are offered in adoration to the Beloved Ascended Masters andCosmic Beings—especially Beloved David Lloyd and the Brotherhood of Mount Shasta—and arededicated to Beloved Jesus in recognition of His Great Divine Ministry.

At the culmination of the Conclave, a Pageant is presented by the Youth and Students on theLife of Christ, entitled “I AM” COME! This Pageant is open to the public.

The “I AM” Ascended Master Youth and the Saint Germain Foundation invite the Youth ofthe World to join in the presentation of the Pageant, either as an “I AM” Ascended Master Youth inthe cast or through audience participation.

This is a tremendous Outpouring given to our Beloved Jesus in remembrance and gratitude forHis Great Service, and in recognition of the Example which He left for all mankind. He reminds usthrough His Words, “The Things that I do shall ye do also, and even greater things than these shallye do.”

Therefore we ask God, the “Beloved Mighty I AM Presence”; Beloved Jesus the Christ; theGreat Host of Ascended Masters; the Great Angelic Host; and especially the Beloved FourChildren—Ascended Master Bob, Rex, Nada, and Pearl—to assist every person who reads this “IAM” Ascended Master Instruction to attain whatever is required for their individual Divine Plan,to make their life happy and victorious, and bring to them every good and perfect thing from God’sGreat Heart of Love. May they, in turn, offer back to God their energy to assist our BelovedAmerica and the World to Eternal Purity, Freedom, and Victory; and Peace on Earth, Goodwill toman reigns Supreme for Eternity.

Thank you, andGod bless you!

THE “I AM” DISCOURSESBY BELOVED BOB

DISCOURSE I

September 14, 1937BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

100% GROUP

Beloved Students and Friends of Boston, often Pearl, Nada, Rex, and Myself have movedabout in your midst watching, endeavoring to pour forth a Radiance that would give you theassistance that you were calling forth from your “Presence”; and what a joy it has been.

Can you for just a few moments come with Me in My Feeling that I am endeavoring to conveyto you—My Feeling of what it really is, what it means to be wholly Free from any limitations.Think of it, Beloved Students and Friends! It is only a short time since I was in the limitation thatmost of mankind are now in. Just think of it!—in so short a time I was given My Freedom by theassociation with Beloved Saint Germain; and the Great Divine Director took us under His Wingand brought us to India where the Final Victory in the Cave of Light was accomplished.

Dear Ones, do you realize that I was just a young man out of mining school in Colorado,knowing not the slightest thing about metaphysics, except that I did have a great, great deep lovefor Beloved Jesus. But further than that, I rarely attended church or any of those activities; yetwithin my Heart was always that great deep love—and, as I now realize, was reaching out for thatwhich I did not yet know.

Then that day when this Good Messenger before you came to Mr. Rayborn’s mine, I saw himand liked him; and when we were going through that mine and I had gone on ahead, after a fewminutes Mr. Rayborn called me back and directed me to start work at a place where, I say franklyto you, I thought would be rankest foolishness. If I had not had such confidence in Mr. Rayborn, Iwould have thought he was suddenly bereft; but I didn’t dare say a word. Then when I saw thatwhich I afterwards came to know was Beloved Saint Germain’s Great Wisdom directing—well, Ifrankly say to you, it was a tremendous shock. For if you have not thought along those deeper lines,then for something to be suddenly thrust upon you, absolutely compelling your recognition—well, Itell you it is something really worthwhile!

Then after that was fulfilled, Saint Germain released me from the body and brought me to theCave of Symbols, and so regulated—notice this—so regulated the vibratory action of my ethericbody, that I was as tangible in the Cave of Symbols as you are here in the physical bodies. Nowthat was not a physical body, but it was tangible and visible to this Good Messenger and the otherswho were present there, which were seven or eight people; and I was as vividly conscious of allthat were present and all that was going on, as you are here. The proof of it was—I mean to myself—that when I returned after the experience to my sleeping body, and when I awakened in themorning, vividly in my consciousness was every detail of that experience at the Cave of Symbols.It being my first experience, I actually thought that I had had a very vivid dream, but when Mr.Rayborn and the Messenger came again to the mine, then I knew before they had said a word, thatit was not a dream.

Then afterwards when it was explained to me what had actually been done, what had actuallytaken place, the amazing thing was that it seemed perfectly natural. I do not recall a single feelingin my being that I was being deceived, or anything except that a perfectly natural process wasgoing on. And that is what everyone should feel, Dear Ones, in regard to these Great Laws of Lifewhich are manifesting Life in your body. Now those were the same Laws acting that wererevealing to me the Truth of my own Life.

Tonight I want to make so vivid to you, Dear Ones, that mankind is wholly responsible for thelimitations, for the privations, for whatever may be acting that is less than the Perfection of yourLife, which gives you Life. The reason for that is—notice this, follow Me closely please; it willhelp so tremendously—no outer appearance in the outer world or any activity there, can limityou or disturb you, except when you feed your Life into it, through your attention upon it. Thatis how you are your own limitation. Nothing can limit you but yourselves, Beloved Ones.

Now remember, I went through all that you are going through, and I stand today in Freedomfrom all human limitations; and that is what comes of knowing the Law of Life and havingtranscended all human limitations. Then you are able to look upon the activity that ordinarily istermed “limitation,” and see that within your feeling world alone is the cause of whatever seems—now notice—whatever seems to be limiting or depriving you of that Perfection which you know isfor you, and actually is in your “Presence.”

Does it seem unreal, unusual to you, that this “Presence” here [pointing to the Chart], holdseverything that you can possibly desire in the outer world of manifestation? Just look for a fewmoments, won’t you, upon this “Presence” here. Dear Ones, this “Presence” holds everythingwithin Its own grasp, within Its own Hands, within Its own World—not in form, but theIntelligence, the Substance is there, within this “Presence,” of everything that must come intomanifested form for your use out here. Contemplate that, Dear Ones! Everything in this Stream ofLife, Light, Intelligence, and Substance that flows in at the top of your head into your body andanchors within your Heart, is the Life, the Light, the Substance, the Intelligence, the Energy, and theActivity of all that is.

Now think of it! All of that is in the outer world of human manifestation. Do you not see, then,when you call to this Presence of the Higher Mental Body—which stands between your physicalbody and the “Presence” and which is the Discriminating, Selective Intelligence that answers yourCall to the “Presence”—do you not see in your Call to the “Presence,” if it be money, if it beintelligence, whatever the requirement out here may be, then the “Presence” holds that ready torelease through the Higher Mental Body into your physical use? Then if channels—I mean by that,human beings—be used in your requirement, then the Wisdom of the “Presence” will prepare theway and select those individuals who are to assist you in your achievement or in whatever isrequired in your world.

Do you not see then, Precious Ones, how in your Call to the “Presence” nothing could fail inthe world? Do you not see that? That is what I found to be actually, literally, practically true. Andas We see from the Inner standpoint, the unlimited standpoint, these Laws of your Life are asdefinite and as certain—if you will make the Call for them.

Now notice, suppose you have not the intelligence manifested, the understanding manifested,to cope with a condition that you do not understand. Suppose it was something legal that you werenot familiar with; suppose it was in a business you were not familiar with: do you suppose for amoment that the “Presence,” through the Higher Mental Body, does not know everything that isrequired there? If you think It does not, then you are making a mistake. Your Higher Mental Bodyhas the Wisdom of the “Presence” with which It is acting. Therefore, It is cognizant of everything

that is required in your world down here.Remember, in the present state of the unascended being, the “Presence” knows nothing about

your limitations down here; It is acting at Cosmic Levels. But the Higher Mental Body, which the“Presence” has provided and regulated, knows every detail of your requirement out here in thisphysical body. Therefore, when you call to the “Presence,” the Wisdom acting through your HigherMental Body—which is the Discriminating, Selective Intelligence—knows exactly how, when, andwhere to produce the assistance, the conditions, the requirements that you need for use out here inyour world of activity.

Don’t you see how It could not fail? It would be impossible for It to fail in any mannerwhatsoever. Therefore, if you will realize this in calling your “Presence” into action, you will findthat in a comparatively short time your “Presence” will be acting with a definite accuracy, and youwill soon come into the Instantaneous Activity in which you will not need to ask the Messenger oranybody else for the Power of your “Presence” to govern your world.

Oh, Dear Hearts, We want you so much to enter into this Freedom which your “Presence”holds for you. Think of it! This “Presence” which gives you Life—the Wisest, most PowerfulIntelligence and Being in the Universe! I am quite with you—once I was like you, accepting theselimitations, these appearances in the appearance world as having power. Dear Hearts, don’t yousee that the appearance cannot have power except if you feed your Life energy into it to come backto limit you? It cannot do it, Dear Hearts, unless you do that very thing.

Now then, won’t you be on guard in the future and not allow one ounce of your Life energy togo forth into a limiting appearance to limit or deprive you longer? Every time an appearance that islimiting you comes up out here in your world, say: “Oh, no you don’t! You are not going to limit meanymore. Get out of my world! God, my ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ take command here! See that myattention does not rest upon that appearance which is limiting, because it has no power! Sweep itout of my world and You take command! Produce Your Perfection and hold Your Dominion here!Release to me the money I require! Release to me the Intelligent Direction! Release the Power ofAchievement which is my birthright through this Stream of Life and Energy that beats my Heart!”Then, Dear Ones, you will find the Power of your “Presence” moving into action through yourmind and body, and out into your world with a precision, a definiteness that gives your Hearts theJoy of Eternal Delight.

Dear Ones, there is no use longer giving way to these appearances that have frightened youand held you bound so long. Remember, Dear Hearts—that one phrase bears repeating a milliontimes: “No appearance in the world can limit you or affect you, except if you feed your Life intoit by your attention.” Therefore, do you not see why Beloved Saint Germain has pled with thepeople everywhere to take their attention off their problems and put it upon the “Presence,” wherethe only solution exists, and let Its Power flow in, sweeping in and through their bodies and outinto their worlds and perform Its Perfect Service. That is how, Dear Hearts, your “Presence” canbecome the Governing Intelligence of your world and release the Power of Its Energy and Activity,and from Its Treasure-house release everything your Precious Hearts require to flood your worldwith money or with whatever else you require.

Think of it, Dear Hearts, what a tremendous test, if you call it that, Beloved Saint Germainplaced upon the Messengers when He said to go forth and give out this Work with not a dollar inTheir pockets with which to do it. Remember, when They came to Philadelphia the first time, Theyused Their rent money that was due, to get there. Do you realize, Beloved Ones, that theMessengers have had to prove every step of this Law every moment since the time that Theystarted for the train in Chicago?

I shall never cease to enjoy it when the Messenger brings up this point—how He and Mrs.Ballard were discussing it on Their way to Philadelphia. They said: “Now ‘Mighty I AMPresence,’ this is Your Work. You have the Power to supply the money to do this and carry It on. Ifyou do not do it, well, We will go home”—and They meant it.

But Dear Ones, do you not see that it does not matter how many thousands of people haveproven this Law; every one of you has to prove the Law to yourself in order to be free, and it is soeasy! I tell you it is easy because I see from the unlimited standpoint.

Now, if you will grasp these various points, which the various ones have brought forth inTheir Dictations, you see Their Wisdom is so great that, as the people are ready—you must notblame the Messengers for holding the Students upon fundamentals, because they have got to havethe fundamentals anchored within themselves in order to become the Victor over human creation.That is why today, Dear Ones, you stand in the open door of your Eternal Freedom.

You Blessed Ones of Boston, you may not quite know it, but how do you suppose that youwere strong enough to stand dauntless in the face of everything and stand your ground with theLight of the “Presence”? How do you suppose you did it? Now you see I am asking you questions.By the Light in you—which was your “Presence”—that was strong enough to do it! And that is theonly way you did do it. That is proof that now you can and will go on into your Freedom, DearHearts! When this Class is over here, you will have entered a new world. And mark what I tellyou, Dear Ones: We mean business!

When We have been given, I say to you, the Honor, the Privilege of being Free, do you thinkthat We will rest for one hour until you—every one of you—are Free too? And think, theseBeloved Messengers have gone through—you will never know—the condemnation, the hatred ofmankind that, if you saw from the Inner standpoint, would positively make your hair stand up; butbecause Their Application was dynamic enough, Their attention held steadfast enough to the“Presence,” They were untouched by all that had been sent forth to try to destroy Them. Would youbelieve, Dear People, that there could be human beings in embodiment vicious enough to want todestroy those who spread the Light of Freedom, which this is? Well, there are plenty of them today;but now that the Messengers have gained that Power and Momentum, They are untouched by any ofthat. Thank the “Mighty I AM Presence” and the Ascended Masters for this, and Their ownpowerful Application!

But that is not the point. The point is that it is the fulfilling of the Words which Beloved SaintGermain said to the Messengers in the beginning before They started out, during the dictation ofThe “I AM” Discourses. He said, “My Children, remember the human ungoverned is more viciousthan the animal in the jungle”; and that has proven to be true, because the human being hasintelligence with which to direct viciousness, while the animal has not. But look!—thoseindividuals cannot reach the Messengers!

The point I want to make is what they are doing in their own world. Every person, DearHearts, that sends out viciousness to another—criticism, condemnation, hatred, jealousy, anger, orany of those things—they are charging their feeling worlds around them with destruction whichthey must live in and through. That is why, Dear Hearts—you Blessed Ones, tonight I want to makethis clear if possible forever within your consciousness: the reason for Beloved Saint Germainasking that all refrain from feelings of discord of any kind whatever within their feeling worlds isthat as soon as they stop that a sufficient length of time, the use of the Violet Consuming Flame andthe calling of the “Presence” into action after the Violet Consuming Flame has been used, willdissolve the discordant qualities that have been registered there—I mean all that attempts to comeforth into expression.

Then, when they call the Power of the “Presence” forth, they are no longer clothing thiswondrous Energy of the “Presence” here as It flows forth, because this Energy until It touches thetop of the head is wholly Pure and Perfect, you see; and the only reason why mankind does nothave Perfection is because the moment that touches the top of your head, It is clothed with thefeeling that is in your feeling world. If that feeling is discordant, then it charges that quality offeeling in your world to produce failure and limitations for you.

Dear Hearts, there is not any use mincing words about these things anymore. Law is law, andthe Law of Life is the most powerful thing in the entire Universe! If you are determined to ignorethe Law of Life, then you will be in limitations. Now it does not make any difference what theprovocation is, and I am saying this to you tonight so that you become prepared and fixed from thebeginning of the Class, so you gain your absolute Freedom during it. You can have It, there is noquestion about it. But unless you understand these things that are acting in your feeling world, DearHearts, why, you cannot be Free!

Do you not see as long as you continue to allow these feelings to act in your feeling world,which are producing discord and destruction for you, how can you be Free?—because it is onlythe Purity and the Perfection of the Energy and the Light of the “Presence” flowing into your worldthat produces Perfection and dissolves the conditions of disturbance in your world of activity. Thatallows the Powers of the “Presence” to come forth and perform any given Service, and become themighty Magnet that draws to you every good thing.

Do you know, Precious Ones, Divine Love poured forth by calling your “Presence” intoaction becomes the mightiest magnet in the Universe to draw to you every good thing? And that iswhy, as you keep charging that forth—pouring out Divine Love and Blessing to mankind and everyliving thing—It gains such a momentum going forth that It just dissolves everything unlike Itself asIt goes forth, and leaves your world filled with the Glory of the Power of Divine Love, which isthe mighty attraction of every good thing for you, and which fills your world with every good thingthat your Heart desires and craves.

That is why today, if you understood the need of keeping your feelings harmonious so that thePower of the “Presence” at your Call could pour forth that mighty Self-luminous, IntelligentSubstance and perform that Service, then don’t you see, nothing could resist It? Not a thing in theworld could resist It and prevent It accomplishing that whereunto It was sent.

Suppose you say, “ ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ You release Your Energy here”—for a givenpurpose, any kind. Then with a great joy you begin to pour Love and Blessings upon thatachievement, whatever it is to be done. You see how that keeps the Power of the “Presence” goingforth to that objective to accomplish the results, and there could not be a single failure in existenceif you but do that?

That is why I say to you again, Dear Ones, there is no provocation in the world that warrantsyou allowing one single feeling of discord to go out from you, because when you do that, you arejust depriving yourselves. Oh my, isn’t it remarkable that you have thought—you do not anymore—that you could injure someone else by sending out discord to them. You are the first one that getsinjured. And why should it be so? If you are the creators of discord, and you are, then why shouldyou not get the first results? You see?

But look, Dear Hearts, I do not wonder, oh, as We go among mankind and see the enormous,the tremendous momentum that mankind have gained through thinking they could just release anykind of discord without limit and then not pay the penalty—think of it! You see, in the old teachingsmankind was not taught anything about it. They thought they could put forth any kind of feeling inthe world and they would go scot-free. They cannot do it. It is not the Law. That is why Our Joy is

so boundless when We have the opportunity, as We have with the Messenger, to flash Our Wordsbefore Him to you, with no human ideas in them; and that is why this Work—one day mankind willcome to know how powerful It is, how magnificent It is, not because of the Messengers, butbecause They have made it possible for this to be done.

Dear Ones, every now and then an individual pops up and says they are receiving the same asthis Good Messenger is from Saint Germain and the others. Well, they are not. When another isprepared in the outer world to receive as this Good Messenger does from Saint Germain and theother Ascended Masters, He will be the first one to know it. And whenever the purportedinformation from the Ascended Master does not agree with this Stream of Light, you will know itis not from an Ascended Master, because all Ascended Masters agree.

Dear Hearts, don’t ever let any feeling come within any of you that this Beloved Messengerever has any feeling but humbleness and gratitude because it is possible for Him to receive theblessings which can come only in this manner for mankind. It is a wholly different thing from eventhe highest inspiration, Dear Hearts. There is no inspiration, no matter how high it is, in which thehuman does not intrude. The Messenger can take any inspirational writing, no matter how high it is,and show you every line where the human intruded. It is not that it is not beautiful and good; buttoday the need of mankind is for an Understanding that is untouched by human concepts, so it willproduce the results that are required for them, because human concepts will not do it.

That is why, Dear Hearts, today Our Gratitude is so boundless that you have this opportunityand this use, this Understanding of the “Mighty Presence” that beats each human Heart, which I sayis your Freedom! Don’t accept anything else in the world, but go on and on with your mightyApplication to the “Presence.” Hold your feeling world so harmonious that in a comparativelyshort time that Power of the “Presence” will flow through; and that great Energy, untouched anylonger by your discordant feeling, will steadily and surely cleanse and purify the mind, body, andfeeling world. Then when you call the “Presence” into action, Its Mighty Power will surge forthfor a given purpose—like a rocket—and your Application will produce instantaneous results—andthat is how it comes about.

I trust you will pardon Me, Lady Betty, if I go too fast. And Dear Ones, do you realize howgrateful We are Saint Germain has provided this Service so that the things We say to you can betaken down and had for your constant use.

You must feel what I feel tonight, the great Love that pours out from My Being to you, and thelonging in My Heart to bring you, every one, to the point where We are. Oh, Dear Ones, I almosthave to pinch Myself sometimes yet, to think how in so short a time without any apparent previouspreparation, I could be in the Freedom I am in today. Dear People, let it be the greatest strengthand encouragement in the world to you. Only a few short years ago I was a lad in the physical bodyas you are today, subject to all its limitations—and today I am Free! Let it be such a strength andencouragement to you that never for one moment in anything that confronts you in the future, do yougive it one moment’s power to limit you or deprive you of anything. It cannot do it.

When I see among mankind the conditions that sometimes such blessed ones seem compelledto meet— and to think how if they would realize the need of stilling themselves and feeling nodiscord or inharmony of any kind within them, then in that great stillness say: “ ‘Mighty I AMPresence!’ My world is Your World! Sweep forth into my world. Take command! Produce YourPerfection and hold Your Dominion there, and see that only Your Perfection acts there!”—DearOnes, then every problem would be solved immediately.

Dear Ones, tonight I am determined to convey into your feeling world—and I charge forthStreams of Light from My Heart into yours while I say this, and that is concerning your financial

requirement. Dear People, your “Presence” is your Treasure-house, and you are not limited in anymanner whatever in the money that you require for use or the Service of the Light. Try to fix thattonight firmly in your consciousness and feeling world, principally in your feeling world. You arenot limited, because your “Presence” is your Treasure-house; and in calling your “Presence” intoaction to release the supply of money you require for use, if the Wisdom of the “Presence” chooseshuman channels to give you assistance, then Its Wisdom will select the right channels that can bringonly Love, Harmony, and Blessings to you through Its release.

Everything that is in the world of activity of mankind belongs to this “Mighty Presence.” OhDear Ones, how can—I know, I did it too—but how can mankind longer believe that they are theauthority, that they are the owners of these things of the appearance world, when they would haveto but for one moment think that a body from which the Life has withdrawn—the brain, the Heart,the organs, the form are still there. All is as it was a moment before; but when the Life withdraws,the body is helpless, proving that the Power—now notice—proving the Power, the Intelligence, theSubstance, the Life, and the Energy is within this Stream of Life that beats your Heart. Do you notsee that, Precious Ones? Otherwise the body at so-called death would still have its power ofaction; but since it does not, then all power of intelligence, of activity, is within this Stream of Lifethat beats your precious Hearts.

Oh, try to get that tonight, Dear Hearts, so firmly in your consciousness that it never leavesyou a single instant. Then you will understand whatever you call for—all power, all intelligence,all energy, all activity—is within that Stream of Life that beats your Heart and gives Life to yourbody and action. Everything you require is in that Stream of Life that will flow forth into yourworld of activity and produce the results you require, for It knows no resistance or interference ofany kind. Do you not see that, Precious Ones? It is so magnificent. It is so absolutely infallible. Itcannot fail in a single instance, Dear Ones. Then you, in the Acknowledgment of the “Mighty I AMPresence” and your calling It into action, become the master of your world. It cannot be otherwise.

Tonight with all My Love and those Qualities that have been anchored in your feeling worldto bless you, to give you My Courage and My Strength to assist you on and on to your Victory, ifyou will accept It and allow Me to be the assistance possible to you—for remember, that We in theAscended State are all One. Each One has His or Her own special activity; but so far as the Call isconcerned, We are all One in that releasing of the Perfection into the world and the Life Stream ofeach one.

Notice, Dear Hearts. How do We become of so great an assistance to the blessed ones yet insome limitations? Because here at this point [pointing to the Chart], your Higher Mental Body restsbetween your physical body and your “Presence”; and at this point here, above your head, We inOur projected Currents of Energy intensify the activity of your Call to your “Presence” until youhave gained the strength and the energy and the victory of your own achievement.

Tonight, as the Great Divine Director has done with the Students everywhere during theClasses, He projects directly from His Heart into your Heart these Currents of Energy and of Lightthat have produced such tremendous results with the Students everywhere. Before the Class I wantto remind you tonight of His tremendous Activity that He so recently established in setting the Discof Light in Its Activity into the feeling world, to give the Assistance to the Call of the Students todissolve and consume their own human creation. Remember, these are mighty Activities whichThey set into action for the Blessings of the Students everywhere.

Many of these things, Beloved Ones, have never been known in the history of the Earth beforefor the assistance of mankind, and now only because the Cosmic Light demands it.

Another thing I wish to remind you of is the thousands and thousands and thousands of

discarnate entities that have been taken out of the Earth’s atmosphere, that could not leave it oftheir own volition. Do you not see that it had to be a Cosmic Activity, a Cosmic Law, which madethat possible for mankind? Otherwise, those individuals would have had to stay in the Earth’satmosphere until they, of their own volition, called to some Being of Light to release them. Butbecause of the need of the release of mankind today, the Cosmic Law has said this shall be done;and the Great Divine Director, who is authority for it, caused Saint Germain to release that MightyDecree for seizing and binding the entities, removing them from the Earth, and holding them in theOctave of Light until they serve the Light—the greatest Service that could be rendered on the faceof the Earth. Those unfortunate individuals could not leave the Earth themselves, but this Blessinghas been rendered for mankind: they have been taken from the Earth and held in the Octave of Lightuntil they serve the Light. Do you not see that never in the history of the Earth has such marvelousmeans been provided for the Blessing of mankind as today? That is why today those blessed oneswho are earnest, sincere Students of the “Mighty I AM Presence” under Saint Germain areprivileged beyond anything that is possible to conceive, because if they will apply this Lawearnestly and continue with firm determination, their Freedom is sure—as sure as they do it. Andthere is not any human being on all the Earth that can prevent it.

That is how these blessed Messengers have gone forth untouched by the destructive thingsdirected at Them. And remember, Dear Hearts, don’t longer accept that there is anything in theworld that can deprive you of the money you require for your Service of the Light. Don’t acceptthat one single moment longer! It cannot do it. Remember the wonderful, wonderful Truth that wasuttered: “When you have served the Light enough, this great Light will turn and serve you.” Thenyour so-called struggles will be over. But Dear Ones, try to feel that no longer is there struggle orbattle in your Acknowledgment of the “Presence” and your Application. The “Presence” has said,“I will fight your battles, for I have weapons that ye know not of”; and that weapon is theprojection of Light Rays, the Presence and Power of Divine Love that dissolves everything unlikeItself. That is how there is no battle in the achievement of the Light. It just moves into action andall unlike Itself dissolves before It, is powerless before It; and that is how the Messengers havecalled the “Presence” into action with such wonderful Achievement—because that Light movesinto action and just dissolves everything unlike Itself.

Won’t you try to feel that in every particle of your Application? Just remind yourself beforeyou start to make Application: “Now this is the Activity of my ‘Mighty I AM Presence.’ It is Lightwhich is Self-luminous, Intelligent Substance, and at my Call It just moves into action in andthrough my body and out into my world. Everything unlike It dissolves before It, and It moves righton into the objective to which I have sent It and produces the results required.” Then how couldanything fail? It cannot! I thank you, Beloved Ones.

DISCOURSE II

October 17, 1937NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

YOUNG PEOPLE’S GROUP

SAINT GERMAIN:I wish you to know, Beloved Ones, what it means to Me in Blessing to America, where I have

worked so long to bring about a condition to save mankind—I want to say today, Beloved Peopleof New York, it is here where the great need has been for more than one hundred years in the ever-accumulating, ungoverned destructive activities to mankind. For it is here that the brain of thesinister activity of the World is focused, because from all over the World came the claws of thesinister force because of the financial center here—because they require money by which to carryout the acts of the sinister force. Therefore it is here.

We at first made such a tremendous stride in the first two Classes here; and then becausemankind listened to—let us call it—unhappy gossip, the sinister force drove in and came near todestroying all the possibilities for the protection of your city.

Now do not misunderstand Me. As all who have taken notice have observed, your blessedcity of New York sits in the most dangerous condition—because of the earth formation under it—ofany city outside of San Francisco. Therefore, Dear People, do you wonder that We have called theForces of the Universe into assistance to govern the human discord in America and at this point, sothat this protection could be given?

If you wish to split a log, you take your wedge and at the fine point drive it in, do you not?Therefore, in the sinister activity, if they could have accomplished what they intended in thedestruction of your city, it would have been the wedge driven in, and would have made it verydifficult to give the protection to the rest of America for the incoming Light. It has only beenpossible by the Release of the Great Cosmic Light, which of course you must understand isconsciously directed by the Great Beings from the Great Central Sun—that has made it possiblefor the protection, up to this time, to be given your city. I say to you frankly, this could be the mostwonderful city in the World and, with the protection, would become the most wonderful city in theWorld!

Now then, We say this—and I take this opportunity this morning to say to those who are herebecause you can spread it to others—the need today for all people, all Students of New York andthe surrounding territory is to harmonize in spite of all human conditions. I tell you, Dear People, itis imperative! It must be done! You love your America, so do not let your human frailties interferewith your staunchness and stand to the Light. Do not criticize each other! Do not allow anything tocome in that would start discord of any kind. If you will do this, We can do things that will giveyou the greatest joy and the greatest assurance mankind has ever thus far experienced on Earth.

You will have all the proof that you want of the reality of these Great Laws if you will bepatient. You do not understand that if We produced some great phenomena, which could easily bedone, it would prevent many of the more wonderful things that We are trying to bring forth. So I askthe Students everywhere to be patient.

This unfortunate individual in the West, who has put forth this silly nonsense everywhere andnow is spreading that silly stuff: “Why don’t the Messengers show the proof of these things?”—why the proof immeasurable is being given every day. Therefore, I say this today to the city of

New York, that you may stand on guard against these sinister things. All that mankind wants, needs,or expects, will be given by way of assurance and proof, as they hold themselves harmonizedenough. That is why this morning I take this opportunity to assure you and prompt you again,because shortly We will not be permitted to give the promptings We have in the past.

Therefore, if you will all feel your own responsibility—and if someone comes to you withdiscord, just calmly and quietly say: “Now you have heard Saint Germain’s wishes. He knowswhat is required for your city. Do you want to destroy your city by discord, or do you want to addto the World’s burden by any more of your discord when you have said you wished to serve theLight?” These are vital things, and it is within the individual that these things need to be governed.Then the environment will come into the Harmony and Perfection that is required for the InfiniteProtection of your city and America.

Why do you suppose this great Symbol, the Goddess of Liberty, was placed in your harbor?Because that Great Power of Wisdom brought that Symbol here to represent the Power andProtection of the Light, because this was the greatest focus of the sinister force due to the financialpower that was given them by the secret release of money into the hands of those people whothought and felt and breathed only destruction.

We are debating whether We shall reveal certain things that have been done in your city sincethe Messengers have arrived this time. Already the two days of Class have accomplishedtremendous things for you and your city. Try to feel that, and give all the enthusiasm and joy in theCall to your “Presence” in the release of gratitude for that service rendered.

Dear People, please take these things: Pour forth Eternal Gratitude to Life; then to the GreatCosmic Beings, the Legion of Light, the Great Ascended Masters, for that service andamplification of every effort to bring about this Protection which is needed.

I say to everyone who has seemed to have financial struggle or has seemed to havedifficulties: Dear People, do you realize that you stand on the eve of the greatest prosperity theWorld has ever known—and which will be permanent as humanity becomes harmonized enough?The Law of your Life, of all beings in manifested form, is the greatest Release of the Powers of the“Presence,” which is the supply of everything required through the Power of Divine Love andHarmony. Then mankind is not trying to take away from somebody else, because they know thenthat they will always have plenty; and the desire and fear lest their human form may want forsomething, is dissolved. Try to feel that your “Presence” that projected these human forms, whengiven sufficient attention, is the Power that will care for that body and keep it healthy, harmonious,and supplied if the feelings are kept steady, calm, and harmonious enough to naturally let thePowers flow through. Try to feel that! I thank you.

OUR PRECIOUS BOB:Beloved Young People of New York and vicinity, it is My great Joy to come today. Also Rex,

Pearl, and Nada, who are here in your midst, are pouring forth Their Wondrous Radiation to you.I shall say something today that I trust will carry to you the Joy that is in Our Hearts. Through

Our Call to the Great Beings and the Great Cosmic Light, and the Calls of the many Students aswell as the Messengers for the protection of the young people of America and the World, We havebrought into action the Activity of those Great Beings from the Great Central Sun, for theprotection of our young people of America.

Will you young people, wherever you are, call the attention of the young people who comeinto this Work to that one particular point: that by sufficient Calls this has been made possible.Therefore, the Cosmic Light called into action is an Invincible thing. Therefore keep up your Callfor the Protection of the young people of America, their Purification; and call for them to be

surrounded by the Circle of Blue Flame through which no emotional thing can penetrate.Then the blessed young people of America who have come forth with bodies that are strong

and prepared for that which they are destined to do—as they hold that Dominion and Control oftheir energy, the full power of its infinite action will ever bless them in its ever-increasingstrength, Light, and power within each one, which makes the glorious Circle of Light that you mayhave, more vivid in your memory and attention.

You will remember the description in Chananda’s Home in India when we were there. As wesat at the table, the Circle of Light enveloped our Hearts. Just so has the Activity of the CosmicLight been established to reach around America and give this Assistance to Her young people.

Now then, as you call to the “Mighty I AM Presence” to project into the mental and feelingworld of mankind, do you not see how the Great Light has provided Its Currents of Energy, chargedperhaps a hundredfold greater than would ordinarily act in carrying these Decrees, this Feeling,and the Call for Their Purity and Perfection through the feeling world of individuals in a mightyunbroken Circle of Light. Again something which has never been done in the World before!

Why do you think the Wisdom of Saint Germain took the Messengers to certain places in thebeginning? To break down the human walls of doubts and fears, and to establish this Light whichhas recently been established. That is why in the Boston Class tremendous things were done, andeven far greater things will be done in this Class, as you have all observed in its beginning.

Do you not see, Beloved Ones, how you precious Students in your earnest, sincere Work andDecrees have made it possible for the Messengers to be free from having to beat down the humanwalls. That gives the Freedom and Power for this greater Release from the “Presence” and theAscended Masters to come forth into action, as you must have observed in the opening of thisClass.

So you will understand and you will see what mighty strides are being made in the greaterExpansion of Perfection, in the greater Protection and the greater Blessing that is pouring forth tomankind. Therefore, Beloved People, rejoice with all your Hearts. Pour forth gratitude withoutlimit to your “Presence,” and call on the Law of Forgiveness for all mankind. Do not miss one day,every night before you retire, to call on the Law of Forgiveness for the mistakes of all mankind;and then in the morning give praise and thanks for the Perfection of God, the “Mighty I AMPresence,” glorifying you that day.

You will find, Dear People, that you can release from your “Presence” whatever is requiredin your world of activity for the service you wish to render. Oh, I plead with you, turn to your“Presence” wholly, and stand with It in the Invincible Power. And quickly you will find you canrelease Its Mighty Power by your steady focused attention to the “Presence” and the feeling of ItsLight Rays which know no resistance nor interference, pouring forth through you and out into yourworld.

Blessed Ones, can you imagine My Gratitude, Pearl, Rex, and Nada’s Gratitude, when sorecently we stood in bodies of limitation like yours—and how we were picked up, as it were, byBlessed Saint Germain and lifted into that condition where We are forever Free? We were noexception to the rule. There are hundreds of blessed ones in America today who could receive theidentical Activity if they would just hold sufficient self-control and allow the Powers of the“Presence” to act uninterrupted by discord within the feelings. That is the imperative need today.

You cannot wonder that the Messengers plead and plead and plead constantly with the peopleto hold harmony. Dear People, I do not see how you can help but understand the need of harmonywithin your own feelings, and of not giving attention to what someone else does. You are notresponsible for what someone else does, but you are responsible for what acts in your feeling

world! So don’t allow the appearance world to cause you to longer criticize, judge, condemn, orhave any opinion whatever! If you will only do this!

Dear People, you are at the point now where—let us say for the moment—to those who seemto need greater proof, that proof would be given without limit if sufficient harmony were in yourfeelings. It cannot be given without that. Therefore, take your stand; and throughout the East, youblessed people, do not let a single human opinion go forth. Whenever there is an appearance ofsomething that needs correction, say, “ ‘Beloved Mighty I AM Presence,’ sweep into that andcorrect it!” And take the human mind off of it. You will find such Blessings and Power releasedinto your individual lives, into your city and conditions, because certain things have been donehere to take Dominion in the activity of your city, which I may not mention this morning. They willbring blessings untold to this city.

That is why, Beloved Ones, We four Children have been given the Authority to wield Powersin the projection of the Light Rays that, ten years ago, we could not have imagined in our wildestimaginings. Then I say to you, you can do this! How do you know, Beloved Ones, what hour willrelease the Power of the “Presence” into your full outer consciousness that will give you theconviction, the certainty in your feeling world and outer experience of the Powers of the“Presence” to do wonderful, so-called miracles through yourselves.

The things that occurred through the body of this Messenger here are real, they are true—aliving example to all mankind of what can be done through the individual at the most unexpectedmoment. He did not know what could be done, never dreamed it; but the Powers of the “Presence,”when It has sufficient Purity and activity through which to act, can at a given moment or in a crisis,release Its Powers within that moment. That is the need of mankind today.

Beloved Young People, realize that you are the Focus of the Light for the immediate future ofmankind. Make yourselves such a mighty example, such Ambassadors of Light, that the wholeWorld will turn and look at you and bow in humbleness before that Radiance which they feel. It isthe Law of Life!

I tell you that you can take the worst criminal in your city, and when one who is able in greatcalm serenity to release the Light of their “Presence,” goes into the atmosphere of that individual,that individual will bow before that Radiance which they feel is the Governing Power of theUniverse. Remember, Dear Ones, that Light knows no resistance nor interference, and there is nodestructive quality in individuals or collectively that has any, or tries to give any resistance to thePower of the Release of the Light. When that Radiance is sufficient, it knows instantly when ittouches It that it is powerless to longer act.

So will you not feel that in your individual Application for yourselves, and in the Serviceyou wish to render. Then you will gain the confidence and power within yourselves that is theRelease of that Limitless Energy which the “Presence” holds ready at all times. Remember yourHigher Mental Body is the Discriminating, Selective Intelligence that knows what is required andreleases it.

It is omnipresent, Dear People. It is not a thing in which there could be the slightestuncertainty, but your Higher Mental Body, being the Wisdom of the “Presence” acting, then willrelease whatever is required for your freedom and your blessing. Therefore, as you feel thatconfidence in your Application, you will absolutely have no difficulty in gaining your Freedom andyour Victory in the Light.

I could not help but smile to Myself this morning in your young people’s gathering here. Youare all young people. Really the Light within you blessed ones knows no age! Why accept theappearance? Do you know, Blessed Ones, that it is the mass pressure, the mass creation, mass

sense of age that causes individuals’ hair to turn grey and the appearance of age to begin to find itsexpression through the human form? Sometimes, true, shock causes hair to turn grey; but outside ofthat, the general activity of mankind when they come to certain years is to open their arms andwelcome in the sense of age, when if they would say to that appearance: “You have no power! Getout of my world!”—it would settle it.

I ask you to watch, Beloved Ones, in the coming years and see how many people will changetheir hair back to its original color, and all lines will disappear from the face. You have alreadyseen thousands and thousands of people where the lines have disappeared from their facescompletely. That is because harmony has been established in the feeling world. Nothing in theworld makes the face become drawn and haggard like continued anxiety.

Remember, Beloved Ones, you are no longer at the mercy of the discordant forces ofmankind, even though you have helped to create them. You are positively not subject any longer totheir action upon you. Do not accept it, oh, I plead with you! In the Knowledge of your “Presence,”feel you can have the feeling of Security and Protection that will sustain and bless you forever.

You see, we Children did not have to go through what many of you are going through; and aswe were able, with Beloved Saint Germain’s Assistance, to look down our Life Streams, it just sohappened that—it does not sound quite correct, but for the sake of explanation I must use it—it justseemed to so happen we had rendered Service in past lives that made it possible at this time tohave this Assistance. Now you do not know, Dear Ones, any one of you, what the Service of thepast may be which you have rendered that might make that same thing possible for you.

That is why the Messengers have urged the people always not to limit themselves even by theappearance world today, because you cannot tell, you cannot know how quickly you might enterinto the Fullness of that Freedom and Perfection. But if it requires more time than you expect,please do not be discouraged or disturbed when you know the Glory of your Victory is absolutelycertain. Then what does it matter if it takes a few days, a few weeks, or a few years? Why, it is ofno consideration, Dear People. However, when you definitely know the Goal is in sight, thePowers of Infinite Light carry you forward to that Goal with no uncertainty. The only thing requiredis your love, gratitude, and harmony within your feeling world; and the very Light of Life willcarry you forward. Then if you put intensity in your feeling with the Call, think how much morequickly you will go forward to the Goal, the end of all pilgrimages on Earth. Dear Ones, mankindhas surely struggled long enough.

I want you to realize, Beloved Ones, the love and gratitude that the whole World owes toBlessed Saint Germain. Mankind, even in their greatest love and gratitude, cannot yet even imaginethe magnitude of that one Great Being’s Work. It is so magnificent! When I have seen—notice this,Beloved People—when I have seen those Great Beings bow before Saint Germain in honor to theServices He has rendered the Earth, then you will understand how great is that Service. If youknew the conditions that Blessed One went through in His final initiation into that Freedom andVictory, you would think your efforts are nothing in comparison, and truly they are not. Yourexperiences are angelic compared to what He went through to attain His Victory.

So rejoice, People of Earth, that you are the most fortunate of beings on this Earth today inhaving been so privileged to live in physical bodies at this time—to understand and know and, bythe Powers of that Presence of Light, gain your Victory now with the least resistance the World hasever known. While the greatest chaos reigns, yet in the Freedom and Activity of the “Presence” areyou having the greatest Privilege mankind has ever had, because mankind has never had suchAssistance.

Therefore today, may this Radiation and these Great Ones who have moved through the room

touching, pouring out the Radiation that is required by each one—while you have been sitting herein the room, They have been passing through the room doing for you all possible for your Freedomand Assistance. Try to feel and accept the Fullness of Its Sustaining Power acting in you, BelovedOnes.

In the Fullness of the Love of Our Hearts, We enfold you with Our Strength and Courage—thatwhich is required of Us; and We are so happy to render every Service within the Power of OurBeings for blessed mankind and the blessed young people of America. We never stop movingamong them giving Courage and Strength, and pouring through the Radiation here, there, andeverywhere. We never stop night or day, because We know what it means now!

This Victory once won, is the Victory of Eternity for mankind. I ask you beloved ones whohave this Understanding of your “Presence,” for every political appearance that seems discordantor undesirable, in the great Power of your Being, call to your “Presence”; and in the Name of your“Mighty I AM Presence,” say to that appearance: “You have no power! Be thou dissolved now!”Then, Beloved People, you keep released the Powers to govern those activities.

I wish to repeat one more thing. Whenever anything irritating causes you to want to saysomething unkind, remember it is the claw of the sinister force’s hold on you, through your ownhuman creation, that wants to deprive you of your Light and Freedom. Just remember that, and youwill have no difficulty in governing it. When you see it is that thing that wants to deprive you ofyour Freedom, then you always have the Power and Strength to say to that thing, “Be silent! and getout of my way forever!”

We have watched the many Students of America who in firm determination say to thosethings: “You have no power! Get out!” And you see how they recede. But don’t forget to say, “Bethou dissolved”—because human creations need to be dissolved and consumed—and you willbegin to feel the release.

I say to you, Beloved Ones, I ask you to watch it when this Class is finished. You will have aCourage and Power acting within your feeling world that will amaze you. Accept It and let Its fullPower act and give you the Victory of your Freedom, by the Power of that Radiation glorified—assisting and blessing those among whom you move with that Courage and Power, through thePower of Radiation. Oh, Dear People, you have no idea how when you are filled with theCourage, Power, Glory, and Joy of your “Presence,” you pour forth that Radiation. You have noidea how It will touch others and give them the Courage and Strength to go on and win the Victory,even though they have not heard of this Work or understood It. Still, in the feeling world It isacting. Therefore, rejoice in your mastery, in the sending forth of that Power of Radiation, in theacceptance of your “Presence” that fills the World with Happiness and Freedom. I thank you.

DISCOURSE III

April 22, 1938DETROIT, MICHIGAN

Beloved Friends and Students of Detroit, how great is Our Rejoicing today in having anopportunity to come among you. And will you allow Me tonight to call your attention to certainconditions which you can govern to bring you where We are today?

Remember, just a few years ago Rex, Nada, Pearl, and myself were in human forms oflimitation quite similar to your own! Today We are wholly Free Beings. Now please hold thispoint, as I continue to talk to you, definitely in your consciousness. I had no more idea of theFreedom that stood before me at the time I first heard of It and this Good Messenger came to Mr.Rayborn’s home, than you have tonight of your Freedom. Yet We stand wholly Free Beings in theOctave of Light, so transcendent that I tell you frankly, words fail utterly to convey to mankindwhat their privilege and right is. Yet We are there and all the human denials in the world cannotchange it, but the person who can believe that—oh, I do not mean in your intellect, but in yourfeelings—will have touched the mainspring of Life that will breathe into your world the Freedomof Life. You know how the mainspring in a watch breathes; so does your vibratory action of Lifebreathe into your world its Freedom.

Do you know, Dear Ones, that in your attention to your Great Presence of Life there is arhythmic breath—not in the physical form, but in your feeling world—there is a rhythmic breathjust like that [motion of hand], moving all the time, a magnificent thing. This is the first time thishas ever been touched upon before the Students, but I want you tonight—because We are going toenter into a powerful activity here, and you precious people and those who choose to come underthe Radiation of this Class for twelve days, will find your Freedom.

Now this is not just a promise, but you are destined to be Free if you will give your attentionand hold it upon your own “God Presence,” and know It is the Power of Light that goes forth whichknows no opposite. Dear Ones, how We long to see the Students get this; and yet so few have thisfirmly in their feeling: that when they make the Call to the “Presence,” it is the Power of Light thatknows no opposite which goes forth. When I think of these beautiful young people no older thanMyself, some of them younger, I say to them especially, at this moment look at Me. I do not meanthe Messenger—you probably do not see Me, but I am here just the same—but look at Me withyour feeling eye. You can do that, and your physical sight will say, “Well, where is He?” Righthere!

Now look at Me with your feeling eye, Beloved Ones; and let Me, through that Stream ofLight by which you are looking at Me through your feeling, pour back to you that Power ofFreedom which My Life that has gained It, is. What can I pour to you more than My Life? And it isMy Life which I shall pour into your feeling world tonight with the Power of Freedom, of Victory;for Victory and the Goddess of Liberty are pouring forth Their Rays which I shall utilize to renderthis Service to everyone here and every one of the sincere Students in Detroit this hour, for We arenot limited to just those present.

Oh try to feel, Beloved Ones, tonight as I am looking at you, a Ray of Light from My Beinggoes forth into the feeling world of everyone. It is all quite natural, and therefore, to every sincereStudent in Detroit that same Ray of Light goes forth, because I am not limited in that Power of Lightand can project a thousand, ten thousand Rays. And each one is just as powerful and efficient asthe others. Therefore, when I say I am pouring forth to each one of you as the requirement of your

being demands, then I am also pouring to all those absent, the same thing.Now then, remember, Beloved Ones, this which goes forth is a tangible Substance of Light. It

is not just a rate of vibration, it is a Substance that goes forth into your world; and if you canaccept that in your feeling and let it go forth into action, then a Power, a Joy, a Courage, a Strengththat you have not yet experienced, no doubt, will take place in your world of action.

Therefore tonight after this Meeting is closed, before you retire, raise your hands to the“Presence” in the privacy of your own room and say: “ ‘Beloved Mighty I AM Presence!’ I acceptall Your Power. Give me the full Feeling that I need to gain my Freedom through my Call to You!You take command of my mind, body, and my feeling world; and charge it with Your LimitlessEnergy, with Your Mighty Directing Intelligence, with Your enfolding Invincible Power ofProtection!” As you do that, you will feel the change. I guarantee you that there is not one of youwho will not. Then call your “Presence” to charge that to be eternally sustained; and use yourpower of qualification to anchor firmly in your world for action, everything that you require.

Then as you feel that Serenity—oh, won’t you watch your feelings as you do these things andsee how magnificently they act? Then as you do that, you will find a confidence present in yourfeeling world that you have not had there before. This is a definite, powerful action.

Dear Ones, won’t you please, every night before you retire, keep charging your bodies andyour feeling world with Limitless Energy of the “Presence” so you won’t be tired, irritable, orexhausted? When you get tired you get irritable; but if you keep charging yourself with the limitlessenergy of the “Presence” there would not be that impulse or a sense of loss of energy, and youwould not find that old habit or impulse of irritation trying to drive in.

Now We have seen this as We watch the activity among the Students—and, oh, once yourealize how We love you, how We watch every moment for an opportunity to render a Service toone, many, or all, to give them that Strength and that Courage which We know belongs to them, andwhich We have acquired now and in which We are not limited in any way.

Therefore, you see the Unlimited Assistance that is being offered you today—never before inthe history of the World, but it is real! We are Tangible and have Limitless Power with which toassist you, but We cannot do it until you make your determined effort yourself. That effort is notlike going out and performing a daily, distracting, exhausting physical labor. Your effort is a greatcalm, firm Call to your “Presence” of all Life that beats your Heart.

Dear Ones, you of the Students, how many of you beloved ones really fully understand thatyour “Presence” through that Ray of Light, beats your Heart? Don’t you see, Beloved Ones, thatyou have got to feel that, and know it definitely with Its Infinite Power of Action? Oh, I know youknow it with the intellect, the head—but that is not enough. You have got to know it with thefeeling, and then hold that steadfastly ever increasing in its joyous receptivity—until you begin tofeel that great Expansion of the Light. Then you will feel that Light go forth before you in anyemergency with whatever is required, taking Its Dominion and harmonizing everything before youwhere you move.

We have watched It, and with the Students who are earnest, sincere, and determined, thatLight, that Substance, that Energy goes out before them just as tangible to Us as the physical bodythrough which It is pouring. Now I am saying this tonight to try to get you into a deep, strong, morepowerful feeling of this powerful Substance of Light that goes forth before you at your Call for anygiven objective or service. You must feel It, Dear People. You must feel that the Power which goesforth is the Substance of Light and, knowing no opposite, It cannot help but perform that Servicewhich you require.

We rejoice in Our beloved ones who are so earnest. And We rejoice, Precious, Beloved

Young People of Detroit, that you have the courage to stand forth in your Acknowledgment of theLight. Let Me say a word to you tonight. Beloved Young People, there will be many in the humanoctave that will ridicule you just yet; but on the other hand you have the Great Host of AscendedMasters, the Legion of Light, and the Cosmic Beings who are your Friends! Which do you want?The Beings of Light and Freedom and Purity, or the human friendships, many of which will dragyou down to the depths? You have Free Will and choice, Beloved Ones, to decide; and remember,the human gratification of the senses is only a fragment in a lifetime in comparison to one hour fullof consciousness and feeling of your “Presence.” That is the vast difference between the Light ofPerfection and the human sense gratification.

Now then, what makes the change between the human senses—which are but extensions of thefiner senses from which they come—and the finer senses? Now you know, or perhaps you do bythis time, that in the Godhead there is always the Trinity of Action. Therefore, what is thedifference? Your power of qualification which is a feeling within you! It is invincible, and it is all-powerful in its action, so far as your individual world is concerned.

Therefore, as the young people today understand that the “Presence” of all Life which beatstheir human Heart, makes them a Part of that great Perfection, then with purity in their thought andfeeling, and obedience to that great Life, Its ever-increasing, intensifying Protection and Purity willflow forth into their worlds. Then all that touches their worlds will love to bless them and helpthem.

In making the Call for the Ascended Master Friends to be raised up everywhere—which isone of the most powerful things that every earnest, sincere Student should do—how does that comeabout? Now notice, these are practical Laws, every one of them. How does that come about? Byyour power of qualification as you call this ever-increasing, intensifying Energy forth to act in yourworld.

You know, that “Presence” as you observe the Chart here—that “Presence” is all-wise andall-powerful, and is the Fullness of the Godhead individualized in action in your world. Then thinkwhat it has been to have forgotten that the “Presence” was there! Tonight I am trying to offseteverything in your feeling world that has endeavored to hold your attention upon the conditions thatseem to be real in your outer world. Let Me remind you that everything that outpictures throughthose physical bodies has but one cause in the Universe, and that cause is within your own feelingworld. There cannot be an outpicturing in the physical body that was not generated in yourfeeling world!

Therefore, tonight, as I am pouring this Mighty Current of Energy and Substance into yourfeeling world, so charge and qualify It now while I am talking to you with Its eternally sustainedPurity and Perfection that will act within your world, ever producing more of Its kind to give youthe Courage and Strength to stand against the whole world, if need be, with your “Presence”—justas the Messengers have had to do.

Think of it, two individuals going forth in the world of mankind, upsetting—so to speak—every human concept; and yet They were able to stand against the world, and today five hundredthousand people have the blessing and benefit of Their courage and strength. Now you in yourindividual world can be the same thing, because the same Power that gave Them Strength andCourage to stand alone against the world, gives you the same Power, Courage, and Strength tostand against your world, or that which you come in contact with. And remember, your attentionhere [pointing to the “Presence”], leads you into Eternal Freedom. Your attention on the world ofhuman beings, if it should get upon the wrong human being, will drag you to the depths.

We know quite well, Beloved Ones, how many of the Student Body are hoping and calling for

some outstanding Manifestation of Our Presence, and yet in your midst constantly are Miraclesafter Miracles—so-called—performed: in the mighty healings, the mighty freeing activity, thechange in your feeling world, and that courage and strength that is tremendous. And yet becausethose are activities within your own human body, the feeling world, you are so prone to acceptthem as, well—quite ordinary. Far from that, Dear Ones! They are most extraordinary because theyare changing and transforming your world into one of Dominion and Perfection.

Therefore, as the Messengers did, say to all this human creation—anything that appearsbefore you that is less than that Perfection: “Get thee hence thou powerless human creation. Youhave no power to touch or act within my world! ‘Beloved Mighty I AM Presence,’ take commandhere and hold Your Dominion! Produce Your Perfection in my world and action!” Then holdsteadfast to that.

For your encouragement let Me say this. Among the group that are here tonight there are somewho have more immediate answers to their Calls than others, perhaps—well, should the personwho does not have such quick response be discouraged? Why, not at all! On the other hand heshould be greatly encouraged, because it means that it is giving him an opportunity to releasegreater Power, Energy, and Light from his “Presence” to first charge his body, then out into hisworld, and perform Its Service and hold Its Dominion there.

Please do not look upon your world of action in the human octave again—not once—as labor,as difficult, or as problems. Look upon it as an opportunity to compel you to call forth and releasefrom your “Presence” Its greater Power, Intelligence, Energy, and Activity to take Dominion overthe condition that confronts you. Then you will find it disappear. And after a while something elsewill come along and then, just as the Messenger waves His hand, will you be able to wave out ofyour world by this increased intensification of the Vibratory Action called forth from the“Presence,” everything less than Perfection. It is quite as easy as it sounds. It only means yourunyielding attention in refusing to accept the appearance as real or having any power, and thenholding it where the Power flows and remedies all conditions and takes Dominion in your world.

It is important that you notice every little Victory that you gain! Oh, not for any humanexploitation, but it will give you such courage, such strength of action within your human form andyour feeling world as you never can conceive.

I remember in the mining school when I was there, many problems came up, and I knew not athing about them or how to solve them. It is curious to Me now, and you will be interested inknowing—especially the young people—the one thought and feeling I had. Not knowing how thisInner Light was acting from within me, I did not know I was being prompted. In my schoolworkand examinations when something came up, I said in my feelings, “Now there is an intelligencewithin me that knows how to solve this!” That was my one dominant thought during all my schoolyears; and the marvel of it was, as soon as I took that thought and feeling, sometimes within aminute or within a few minutes, the solution came just as clear as crystal—and my associates, theboys in school, used to say to me, “Bob, how in thunder do you get these things done so quickly?” Inever revealed it to them. My answer was to them always, “Well, I know where there is aproblem, there must be a solution.” That is as much as my feeling would allow me to say to them.But do you know, Beloved Ones, I was voicing a good part of a very great Truth, because in everyproblem, so-called, is the solution—but you do not see it!

That is why Life is the most magnificent thing in all the Universe, Dear People. Life is readyto release Its Infinite Powers into action in and through you, at any given moment. And look at themagnificent things that were done through the Messenger. He, like myself, knew not a momentbefore, that such a thing was possible. These things in His experience are real, Dear People, and

should be the greatest encouragement in the world to mankind for their strength and power ofachievement.

Now let Me return again to that point where Beloved Saint Germain released me from thebody at the mine and took me to the Cave of Symbols to meet my mother—think of it, my motherwhom I thought had passed on through so-called death. Beloved Saint Germain, without amoment’s preparation or warning, sent word to me to retire early, which I did. I went to sleep, andthen was released from my body and taken to the Cave of Symbols with that Marvelous Being asescort; for while He sent the two individuals to be my escort, yet was He my real escort, as I havecome to know since. Then when I arrived there fully conscious, I met Nada, then my mother as theglorified Being which She had become. To me she was always very wonderful, but how muchmore wonderful in that glorified, Perfect, Eternal Light Body which She was wearing then and willforever. And strange as it may seem, after the first few moments of astonishment, just like a breaththrough my being, came the feeling of the naturalness of it all. How did that come, Beloved Ones,to me? Through the Power of Vibratory Action which the Beloved Saint Germain was releasing formy benefit and blessing.

In that hour that I was there to visit my mother, such a transformation took place in my body atthe mine that when I awakened the following morning, I could scarcely realize that I was the samebeing that went to sleep in that body. That is the Transforming Power of Light, of Vibratory Actionsent forth by an Ascended Being. Now tonight, Beloved Ones, I am rendering you in your wakingconscious state a slight Service of a similar kind, and according to your acceptance will It be verygreat or small. If you can accept It with the Love with which I give It, and the Confidence andAssurance, then It will be a great Transforming Presence, Power, and Activity in your life, world,and your body.

The great Ascended Master whom you have come to know as Cha Ara, before His Ascension,had called forth first through outer substance drawn together, then through precipitation, what theworld has come to think of—they do not comprehend it, but they have come to think of it as theElixir of Life. That has been real throughout the centuries. He often gave that to people, and in afew days the whole body was transformed from racking pain into buoyancy, health, and happiness.That Essence, that Substance, entered instantly into the blood stream; and just as you have heardthe Messenger speak of the Violet Consuming Flame going forth and seizing every impurity in theblood stream—when It passed through, the work was finished.

Now you today, every precious one of you, could start using the Violet Consuming Flame, forinstance, as if you swallowed It and then visualize that—mentally making the picture of that VioletConsuming Flame going through your throat into the stomach, cleansing and purifying, then on inand through the intestines, seizing every impurity that was there, cleansing and purifying andholding that dominion there. Why, Beloved Ones, you could free yourselves from any conditionthat has ever beset the physical body quickly.

We want you to come to feel that full courage, acceptance, strength, and confidence in yourown Application, so that the moment some disturbance starts within your body, you call your“Presence” first into action to take out of your feeling world the cause of that; then charge forth,from the feet up, your Violet Consuming Flame. Or if necessary, swallow It! Does that soundpeculiar? Oh, don’t think that! Dear Ones, the Violet Consuming Flame can enter into your throatand through your interior just as tangibly, and remove every impurity and imperfection there. Itmeans that you must be firm and determined! Oh, you cannot do it with just a haphazard manner andget the result.

Don’t talk about these things you hear today to other people until the whole accomplishment is

there, finished and complete. Wait until you know you have the Victory over it, because humansuggestions, Dear Hearts, turn so many people aside; and if they are false and you believe them,then they act in your own world through your belief.

Now Beloved Ones, let Me urge you about three different things in your Application. First,while it is absolutely imperative to use the entity Decree to keep your world free from discarnatesgathering about you or intruding or affecting your world, yet for goodness’ sake, don’t becomeentity conscious or give yourself the suggestion that every little thing that affects you is an entity.Watch out for that, because you can so hypnotize yourself by that thing that you create a conditionthrough your own feeling which has the same effect.

Now then, in your Application, know that it is the Power of Light that acts through yourfeeling to stir the feeling into action. That is the acting Presence and Power which, by the Purity,Power, and Perfection of the “Presence,” you call forth. Then what is it in you that gives you thefull power of acceptance? Is there anything in your body to act but the Power of Life that beatsyour Heart? Then whatever ability you have of acceptance is the Light of your “Presence” acting,is it not? What gives you the energy to move your body? The Light of your “Presence”! What givesyou the Intelligence with which to think? The Light of your “Presence” anchored within yourphysical Heart.

Remember, that between you and that Great Individualized “God Presence” from out theGreat Central Sun, the Heart of God, is your Higher Mental Body, magnificent in Its Splendor—your Discriminating, Selective Intelligence that waits and has waited throughout the centuries foryou to know It is there, and then through the Call to your “Presence,” to give It the opportunity tocharge forth into your world everything.

Look, Beloved Ones, you are not dealing with just your own Call. Your Higher Mental Body,who has been waiting throughout the centuries, will become the Authority in your world once yougive It the chance. Do you not think It will use every opportunity—the slightest—to exert ItsEnergy, release Its Powers of Action, Energy, and Intelligence into your brain and through yourphysical body? Therefore It is as anxious as you are, perhaps more so, to produce Its Perfection inyour world—Its Health, Its Happiness, Its Harmony, Its Strength.

Therefore, Beloved Ones, please feel from this hour henceforth, with great firmDetermination and All-powerful Acceptance, that everything which acts through your body toproduce action, intelligence, achievement, happiness, courage, and strength is the Light of your“Presence” beating your Heart. Then do not let your power of qualification clothe that any longerwith any discord in your feeling, or with any consideration except Its All-powerful Action.

You all heard that, didn’t you [singing sound like an electrical battery]? Everyone in the roomheard that. Some of you first thought it was the mike. That was the Current of Energy fromChananda’s Home in India where We spent so many happy days and weeks and months. Don’tmake any mistake, Dear Hearts, there is always a physical action here with that; but the thing thatstarted it, is that Current of Energy.

Dear Ones, as the Great Presence of Life enables you at your Call, to more and moreharmonize yourselves, there will be hundreds of the Groups in America that will have those directprojections into the room, through which they will have the evidence of the Presence of Life underpowerful enough direction to satisfy anyone. In the Gobi Desert are natural currents through whichany individuals, regardless of the expansion of their Light, may speak to each other more than threehundred miles apart. Those are natural currents. This Current tonight was a consciously projectedCurrent of Light and Energy. I wish you could know just how wonderful It is. Oh be of good cheer,Beloved Ones. All that your Heart craves or desires will become, through your Call to the

“Presence,” a constant proof—Invincible—of the Power of Light and Its Dominion in your world.The Messengers so often hear the signal from that wondrous point of Light in the Pacific

Ocean northeast of the Island of Suva; and tonight you are the first audience in America to haveheard this, in just this manner. It should be of great encouragement to you in Detroit.

To our beloved, precious young people, how precious they are. Oh, what it means to Us to seebrave, strong young people ready to turn to the Light and let Its Great Blazing Presence cleanse andpurify and perfect their worlds. Oh, it is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! You know—perhaps I amimpulsive, but I would like to hold each one of them in My Arms in that Purity and Power of Light,enfolding them with Its Mighty Courage and Strength, and carry them on and on into that greatEternal Victory of the Light!

You are Children of the Light, O Beloved Ones; for all that beats your Heart is Light. Youmight think it is your blood stream, but it is Light. All that gives you energy and power is Light, theLight of your “Presence.” Therefore, in all the glory, enter into that Light. Let that Light expandItself within you, hold Its Dominion there, and send you forth the Victory of Life everywhere.

Again, remember Beloved Ones, I love you more than you can love each other. My Love ispouring forth to give you the Strength and Victory of that Light which you really are. Nada, Pearl,and Rex are here assisting Me in that great Service. And think of it, Beloved Ones—I want you tothink of it, and not let a day pass from now until the close of this Class and as long afterwards asyou like—remember that We Children only a short time ago stood in limited bodies like your own.Yet today We are Free forever!

Think of it, Rex who is the possessor of tremendous wealth does not any longer require it; andyet He goes to the mine and to the ranch, and they do not even imagine that He is a free Being. Theysee the greatly perfected body and sometimes when He has been there, have said to Him, “Rex,what in the world is this change we see in you?” “Oh,” says Rex, “I am just trying to behaveMyself!” That is His answer and they accept it; yet He goes and directs the affairs still in thephysical world. I say this to you that you may feel how real Ascended Beings are! They are notsomething far off or transparent, so that you cannot touch Them; but They are right here with you torender that Service which you must have.

Beloved People, there is not a human being in America today that could gain the Victorywithout Their Assistance—not one, so be grateful that you have come to know of those GreatAscended Beings of Light. Look at the Magnificent Service that was performed by the “Presence”of this Good Brother before you. Those things are real, and David Lloyd is the eternal proof of it!Good heavens, Dear People, if He were to stand forth in the tangible body for only five minutesand release to you His Gratitude for that Service rendered through this human form, then would youalmost Ascend at once!

Dear People, the great Power of Light has got to give you that Assistance and the Power ofConviction within you that releases you from human doubts and questions, and sets you free in thefull Power of the Light that beats your Heart. That is the only real thing in the Universe!

How forms are changing in the human octave constantly! All things of form change. You buildyour buildings and they disintegrate, they disappear; and you replace them. For instance Delhi inIndia is the seventh city built on the same spot. Mexico City is the seventh city built on the samespot, and when that first city was built, Mexico City was at sea level. Today, the present city isfive thousand feet above sea level.

Dear Ones, behold the Activity of Life everywhere in Its Magnificent Splendor andDominion; and yet human beings, with the greatest Power in the Universe, go on acceptinglimitations of human creation when they could be free at once. Beloved Ones, do not accept any

more human limitations because you have made mistakes. Don’t feel you must live in them anylonger. Call on the Law of Forgiveness for any mistake. Then call the Power of your “Presence”into action to take Dominion and hold It there forever. Then stand by It, unyielding, until theoutpicturing of that great Perfection is there forever. It is within your ability, within every one ofyou, to do it!

Think of it, individuals today in accepting the race consciousness and feeling of age take onthat appearance; and yet there are those among mankind who are seventy years old that scarcelylook more than thirty, right today—showing that the Light was strong enough in them to not acceptfeelings in their feeling world of the acceptance of race consciousness, which gives you the senseof age. Of course the race consciousness is that you are an old man or old lady when you havereached sixty or seventy years, yet that Life which beats your Heart is just as young as It was atsixteen. Then your power of qualification is what has made that appearance, is it not?

Oh, Beloved Ones, I know you are grasping this tonight in your feeling world, and I charge itto hold sustained its almighty action within you so that tomorrow morning when you awaken youmay feel the full Glory of your Eternal Youth sustained! And you precious young people with yourbeautiful faces and forms, charge now your Great “Presence” to hold that Youth, Beauty, andPerfection in those physical forms forever, until you have made your Ascension! Then you willannul the race consciousness that, by the appearance of the World before you, would produce theappearance of age in your physical bodies.

You who have the appearance of age, how quickly you could change and transform it, too, ifyou would. Oh, it has no power to hold you longer, Beloved Ones. That energy which gives youaction, that Light which beats your Heart is but One Presence and Power—Eternal Youth! Try tofeel It as the Dominion in your consciousness, your feeling world, and your body; and let Itoutpicture Its Beauty and Perfection, which It is. You probably would not believe the years that areover this body of the Messenger, and yet He has limitless energy. He used to get tired the same asyou do; but when that mighty Current of Energy is intensified, there is no lack of energy or strengthor power of action.

Just as We are here now—We could go on until sunrise tomorrow morning and not one of youwould feel tired, or not one of you would feel the sense of your weight upon those chairs, if Wechose to do it. That is the Power of Light under conscious direction, which every one of you canexperience if you only will.

Beloved Ones, tonight in this Service that has been rendered you, cherish it within your Heartas a Sacred Moment. Don’t discuss it tomorrow. Don’t talk of it to anyone, but just let its greatPower flow forth. Then each morning as you awaken and start forth, say: “ ‘Beloved Mighty I AMPresence,’ project Your Mighty Radiance of Light before me; harmonize everything I touch thisday!” Then see how quickly you will find that Light taking Its Dominion in your world of action;and things that might have been unpleasant, you will find smiling back at you.

As you give forth, so shall you receive. If you pour out love, kindness, and blessing, then shallthat love, kindness, and blessing flow back to you—and, notice, from those who once sent you theopposite. Now that does not mean that you must not be firm against the human conditions of theouter world that would govern and control you, but it means that in that outpouring of Divine Love,kindness, and blessing is that firmness which is the Commanding Presence over human qualities.That is the thing to be sure of in this Activity of this Light. Don’t think for one moment you mustmake yourself a doormat for any human being—not at all. But that does not prevent your pouringforth that great majestic outpouring of love and kindness to every person, place, and condition; forin that is the Great Stream of Light which brings back to you Its Gifts of Beauty, Supply, and

Perfection.I tell you it is magnificent, Beloved Ones, today, how many thousands and thousands of

people in America are coming to find truly, through their experience, that their own “Mighty I AMPresence” is their Treasure-house, and that in their attention to that “Presence” is the LimitlessSupply from Its Treasure-house which flows into their world and brings Its Dominion there. Try tostand firmly by It and experience the Joy and Happiness which It brings.

I give to you the Love, Blessing, and Protection of the Ascended Masters, the Legion of Light,and the Great Cosmic Beings—that according to the sincerity of your Call and the acceptance ofTheir Reality in your feeling world, will your Freedom come quickly or require time, as the humansense consciousness knows it. But to the degree that you can put aside all human concepts, turnwith your face to the Light and the Presence of Life, the “Mighty I AM,” and then accept theAssistance that the Great Beings of Light offer, will you quickly find you have entered into a worldof Dominion and Light, filled with the Perfection of all that you require for physical use, andthrough the Action and Power of Light.

I extend to you the Love and Blessings from the Great Host of Light; and in your city where somuch is needed in harmonizing, cleansing, and purifying, may you as outposts of that Eternal Lightof the “Presence” let Its Great Radiance flow forth to flood your city and perform as great aService as was recently performed in Washington, D.C. May the Glory of that Light flood yourbeings and your city, and glorify everyone with the Understanding of the Source of Life, their“Mighty I AM.” Then call It into action and let It take Its Dominion to bless your world withHappiness and Perfection. I thank you.

DISCOURSE IV

May 17, 1938NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

Beloved Ones, try to feel tonight My Great Happiness and Enthusiasm. Saint Germain hasasked Me tonight to do My best to release through that Mighty Power of Radiation, the Happinessthat every one of you needs.

I seem to have reached that point of limitlessness in My Expression of Happiness. Every daythat Happiness, it seems to Me, grows greater; and when We see in some small way that We canconvey that Happiness to Our blessed brothers and sisters of the Light, for such you are—oh, feelit! Feel that you are Beings of Light, Dear Hearts; although you have experienced unhappiness inthe past for various reasons, oh, please dismiss it. No longer has it power to hold or bind you inyour Great Presence of Life. It cannot do it if you just won’t let it.

Try to understand this one particular point; and if it is necessary on your return home tonight,make a note of it to keep you reminded: anytime something confronts you that would create adisturbance of some kind, instantly remember your “Presence” is the Power instantly on guard thatwill prevent it, that will dissolve cause, effect, and record of that. If it has come from some pastcondition in your experience, then that Activity will instantly dissolve and consume it; and if it befrom some outside condition, then the Power of the “Presence” will repel it.

I want you to realize, if you will tonight, that here is a point of discord—over here is a pointof harmony. When your attention is there [pointing to point of discord], you are accepting thediscord that is there. All you need to do is change your attention over here to the point where thepower of happiness and perfection is, and instantly you are absorbing, accepting into your worldthe outpouring of that happiness. And why? Because here at the point of discord is but humancreation, and it has no power except the Life that individuals feed into it by their attention. Overhere is the Power of Happiness which is Eternal—“the Light of God that never fails.” Its Power isan ever-increasing Activity and is the Authority of Light.

That is the difference, Beloved Ones, between putting your attention on something limitingand discordant, or over here on the Power of the “Presence” which holds all Perfection and allPower of Activity within your human form to accept a condition or reject one you do not want.

You are the choosers in your world, Beloved Ones, of how this energy shall act! Oh, if youcontinue to allow your attention to go from one point to another, how are you going to direct thatenergy in constructive power of action? Now remember, Precious Ones, it is not difficult. You canlook at that wall or you can look at this wall. There is not anything in the world that can prevent it.Then if your attention has in an unguarded moment become fixed upon limiting discordant things,turn it to the “Presence” and say [to the discord], “You have no power there.”

In your Decrees when a body of individuals like this tonight—I was watching definitely forthe action when you said to human creation and repeated it three times, “You have no power.” MyDear Ones, could you have seen that Activity tonight you would know definitely that when youdeclare that with intense feeling—shall I tell you what has been released into action for theStudents the first time tonight? I may not give you the full Explanation. It will no doubt be givenduring the Class.

There are a great many people who do not get sufficient feeling into their Call for the use ofthe Violet Consuming Flame. Now then, you are going to have assistance whether you want it ornot. Whatever the Cosmic Light has chosen to do, I cannot at this time give you the Explanation of;

but I tell you, Dear Ones, you remember that Rex said to you last night: as this Radiance growsgreater, people with destructive motives won’t stay long.

Now I tell you, Dear Hearts, this is no idle thing. This Power of the Violet Consuming Flameis going into action with tremendous Power, in addition to your Call. And as I have called yourattention to It tonight, please, every time you call the “Presence” into action to use It, remember—and you do not need to know why it is so, but just accept that you are having the intensifiedassistance of that.

How do you suppose the Great Divine Director dissolves the remainder of your humancreation? By the use of the Violet Consuming Flame, of course. When They have seen the greatearnestness among the Students, and yet so many not understanding—and I mean by that, they havenot stood guard sufficiently over their own feelings to detect what is acting, so that they acceptthings in their feelings, and things that disturb them and make them feel their Application is notenergized enough or strong enough to produce the results. That is not the case. There is not one ofyou in this room that could not produce gigantic results at your Call, but you would have to keepout of your feeling all questioning of it.

You see, Dear Ones, if you have made Application and then a half hour later you question itsfulfillment, do you see you have annulled largely the power of its action because you are thequalifier of this energy. If you left it alone, it would do wonders for you; but you won’t do it. Youstill insist in imposing your qualification upon it. Oh, Precious Ones, if you would only watch thismore closely—what is acting in your feelings—how much more quickly would you erase thewhole thing.

There are just thousands and thousands of the Students today who are coming to the pointwhere, just like that, they could sweep their hand forth and everything would be dissolved that hasever limited or bound them; and I want you to watch it. There will be thousands of the Students inthe next few months who will just suddenly feel arise within them that great Power of the“Presence,” and with one mighty sweep they will be Free!

I tell you, you cannot give attention to the “Presence,” you cannot issue these Mighty Decreesas you are doing and have mankind stay bound. You cannot do it, it is impossible! Now, We see theresults. You do not, because the Purification, the great glorious activity is going on from within out;and that is the only way you can produce permanent results. Heretofore, you have been gatheringfrom without in; and now you are reversing the whole situation, and you are pouring out. Allcleansing, purifying activity is taking place within your feeling and mental world; and then as thatis completed, the flesh has to outpicture the Beauty, Purity, and Perfection which is there, becausethat is the Power of Light in your body.

Oh, Dear Ones, it is so magnificent and is so simplified once you get the clear idea of it; and Iplead with you, do not let it feel complicated to you. Again I say to you: Why do you suppose theseGreat Ones compelled this to come forth in a simple language that even a child can understand?How the unkind critics have often criticized that language! There is no puny human being who isthe authority over what an Ascended Master shall say and do. I marvel at it—I should think theywould be so ashamed in their limited imperfection to sit in judgment upon a Being that is whollyperfect, because They want to use your own slang. When mankind get out of themselves the sillypride and egotism of what they think is authority in the World, then they will be ready to turn to theAscended Masters and, with bowed head and bended knee, acknowledge the Supreme Presence ofLife and let It cleanse and purify them—and they too will become those Great Beings of Light andPerfection.

Oh Dear Ones, you precious Students which you are, don’t for anything in the world let a

moment’s pride, egotism, or any condition of that kind have action in your world. It just deprivesyou again and again. Did you ever know that there is a very great humble dignity? Do you knowthat? When you behold an Ascended Master in the Tangible Body for the first time, you will knowwhat My Words mean to you tonight. There is humble dignity, the greatest in the Universe; and ifany one of those Great Ones was suddenly to stand forth visible before you, one would be ashumble as a little child—unless some destructive forces attempted to act, and then as that Formstraightened and the Light blazed forth from those Eyes, would you know the Dignity of Life.

Life in itself, Beloved Ones, in your very veins and beating your Heart, is that dignity, is thathappiness which every Heart is craving; but because mankind has not understood, it continuallykeeps accepting the appearance world of limitation and conditions of disturbance until that energycannot produce what it naturally is.

Do you not see, Beloved Ones, that this Life which flows into your body and beats yourHeart, of itself is that dignity, happiness, and power of Life which knows no opposite? And then tothink that mankind has so forgotten that, that in their allowing most undesirable qualities to clothethat energy as it goes forth, it then returns bringing more of its kind to them.

These are the things that mankind must understand, and you must not mind if We keep thisbefore your attention. It is the most vital thing in the world! The Messengers have preachedharmony in your feelings for four years, and will keep it up for fourteen if you can’t get it because,Dear Ones, you cannot be free unless you see those things, those qualities within yourself, anderadicate them by the Power of the Light that beats your Heart.

How much do you think your Higher Mental Body loves you? You think you love each othersometimes, but think! Think of the Ascended Masters and your Higher Mental Body. Think of theActivity for your Presence: It never for one minute has a single thought or feeling except justpouring forth Its Love and Blessings to you and through you. And when It cannot get throughunqualified sometimes if there is too much disturbance, It just withholds the energy. Then you feelall wrung out.

Oh, I know all about these things. Just think of it, Beloved Ones, only just a few years ago weChildren were in limited bodies the same as the rest of mankind, and when this great so-calledMiracle took place, We found Ourselves so free and able to render such a wonderful Service. Oh,Dear Ones, buckle on your armor! Do whatever is necessary to maintain harmony in your feelingsso that your “Presence” can pour forth Its mighty cleansing, purifying Power, Its harmonizingPresence so that you can go forth Free, wholly Free!

Many of you are standing at the doorway of that perfect happiness, and of course it brings thelimitless supply of everything you require. Oh, don’t you see it; don’t you feel it, Dear Ones? I amsure you do.

This is quite a serious thing with individuals, but it is certainly comical to Us. We seeindividual actions. Oh, they are so enthusiastic and so dynamic, and all of a sudden something popsup in front of them and instead of saying to that appearance, “You have no power!”—they say, “Ohdear, what am I going to do?” It is true, very true, Dear Ones. But that is the moment you are offguard. Many later straighten up then and face the thing and throw it out. You know there is not onething in this world, Precious Hearts, that can terrify you. Then what do you suppose it is? It is justyourself. It is not the thing or the condition that deprives you, but just yourself.

It is very wonderful, Beloved Ones, for in this repetition, hundreds and hundreds are gainingthat perfect confidence in themselves and their Application; and they are seeing more and moreclearly these little things. So many little things that they have paid no attention to whatsoever, havebuilt into that structure which brings terrific fear. Just here, there, and everywhere they have

gathered those little things. They have taken them into their feeling world and they were not awareof it, and all of a sudden it comes forth.

Do you know there is no cause for fear in the world? Saint Germain gave me one of the mostamazing lessons at the time referred to in the Books, when He asked us, the quartette, to sing. I hadnever sung in public, and for a moment I just was terrified at the very thought! And when He saidto me, “Bob, don’t you trust Me?”—well, that was a little too much. With His spoken Word, Iafterwards knew that whole thing—cause, effect, and record—was dissolved within me, for Inever had it again. Now that is just the way with your “Presence.” It can release Its Power ofdissolving Energy into your body and your feeling world which will dissolve cause, effect, andrecord.

Now may I ask you just a frank question? Have you ever been tired of issuing those Decreesor making the Call to your “Presence”? Do you know what that does? In those Words you aregathering a Power and Momentum of which you have not the slightest concept today, but We seethat acting within your mental and feeling world. We see that Power gathering, and We have seen anumber of times where the individuals had gathered it to a point where, in just one more surge, thatgreat Power would have released and they would have gone forth Free! But they listened to someunkind gossip, some destructive expression concerning the Light; and that swept into their feelingworld and down they went.

Dear Ones, I trust you can feel with Me tonight the vital importance of this. If you knew whatfive minutes listening to some discordant gossip does—it does not make any difference what it isabout, but some destructive, discordant conversation which you naturally term gossip—if youcould see what that does in your feeling world, Dear Hearts, you would no more tolerate or listento it than you would pick up a rattlesnake that would strike its poison into your veins. I tell you, inthat you would only lose your body, but you make records that mankind have built and built forcenturies! And then think, today in so short a time, so many thousands of people are being set Free!

Do you know—now don’t be discouraged when I say this—do you think that is wholly byyour own Application? Oh no, no, no, Dear Hearts—but your earnest Application has opened thedoor to that Assistance which the Great Powers of Light are giving you. And oh, could you but seedaily the great surge of Energy, the great Light Rays that go forth when you are feeling just a littlebit down! Haven’t many of you in that down feeling, all of a sudden just come up like that? I knowthere are those that have experienced it, because I have seen it done with many.

What a Service it is to render! We who are Free, as We watch among the Students and seethose who are needing encouragement and strength, then by the projection of a Light Ray We enfoldthem like that—and they feel that great Strength, Courage, and Happiness again. Dear Ones, no oneever won any victory in anything by crumpling up before the appearance of any kind of disaster.They never did. And I say to you, Beloved Students, suppose you failed a thousand times in thebeginning of your Application, why would that be any reason you should discontinue It when youhave gone through thousands of centuries building this thing that has put you in such limitations?

Think of it! Today you have the Powers of Light at your command! Then why feel onemoment’s discouragement because your Application has not fulfilled all your desires! Because ifyou were to analyze yourself you would see how many times irritation and disturbance drove in,qualifying and clothing that Energy as It went forth to do your bidding—and therefore, It could notdo it.

Oh, Dear Ones, I know well enough it is not easy when you are surrounded by discordantlimiting conditions or individuals who are constantly pounding at you doubt and distress andfalsehoods concerning this Work, this Light that is the Freedom of the World and mankind. I know

it is not easy; but if you will learn to be silent in the presence of those individuals, and then withgreat firm Inner Determination call forth that Light and say silently: “Mighty Light, go forth!Dissolve this human quality! Silence this thing that is driving at me the falsehood of humancreation! Go forth, Mighty Power of Light! Fill my home, fill my conditions, and silence this humanthing that is here.” You are not harmonizing individuals, but you are silencing and dissolving thosequalities that disturb you.

Once beloved mankind awaken to give freedom to each other, then will mankind know suchhappiness, and then will the home life of mankind be restored to the great purity and perfectionwhich it once was. Today, in the great chaos—and I say this to you ladies and gentlemen—the greatchaos that has driven into the consciousness of mankind and its feeling world, why has it tried todestroy all the blessings and sweetness of home life? I did not know that such things existed in theworld until Our Freedom. Our home life was so beautiful, so harmonious. We never knew what itwas to have any kind of discord; and yet when I see today—and shall I say to you that ninetypercent of the conditions of unhappiness and discord in the homes is consciously projected!

Now here is a point I wish you, every Student, tonight—if you will please hold close to it andremember it: a great deal has been said about discarnate entities, about mankind consciouslyprojecting discord to each other; but do you know that one of the most subtle things in the world isindividuals going about among their fellowmen with a seething vortex of resentment, hatred, anger,or some condition revolving like a triphammer in their feeling world—and then they come amongmankind. Do you see what that does? Do you see how you make yourself responsible for everyparticle of that which is absorbed or accepted by someone else?

Dear Ones, these are Mighty Laws; and unless mankind has the explanation of Them and triesto understand Them, how are they going to correct it? You cannot correct a thing in the worldunless you understand why it is so. When a condition exists, if you do not know what is going on,you don’t see the need for its correction; you do not see and know how it is creating havoc in yourlife. That is why We try with such Infinite Patience and in such detail to cover these points in thequiet stillness in these Groups, so that all comprehend more fully the qualities, the conditions, theactivities with which everyone is in contact every hour of the twenty-four.

Let us begin from the greater and come down to your individual—your physical body forinstance. Around the Golden City in the Etheric Belt is a Belt or Force that not one single thing inthe Universe lower than Its own vibratory action can penetrate under any circumstance. Aroundeach Planet is its own Belt, its own Radiance of substance finer than itself, through which nothingcan penetrate—coming in or going out—except what is projected by the group of AscendedMasters who are the Governing Power of that Planet. Likewise the Great Ones, the GoverningPower of the Golden City, have created that Belt around there, which no discordant thing oranything else lower than Its own vibratory action can penetrate.

Yet today, in the marvelous information that has been given you, showing how you can call the“Presence” to produce this Tube of Light—you could absolutely move in a charmed world withinthat Tube of Light if you would insist with firm determination that your Call to the “Presence” hasproduced It, and would keep that up. But then you cannot afford to let discordant feeling comewithin your feeling world.

If you would understand—and in doing that, the Tube of Light would become so Invinciblethat you would not feel a discordant thing from the outer world. Now believe Me, Dear Hearts,when I say this. This is no idle talk: that Power going forth, that Focus—when you call your“Presence” to produce the Tube of Light—that “Presence” is Infinite Love, Wisdom, and Power;and that which goes forth is Self-luminous, Intelligent Substance, which is Light and knows no

opposite. Then how can It fail to act about you? And as you hold your feeling harmonious, that willget stronger and stronger and stronger; and you will have less desire to be disturbed, because theoutside source of it will have been cut off.

That is why, Beloved Ones, with so great a Love—oh, you cannot imagine how We want youto have this Freedom. The Ascended Masters who have so long been in that great Freedom, Theysee and They have Great Infinite Patience; but We who have so recently been set Free—oh, withsuch tremendous Happiness and Enthusiasm We charge and pour forth because We are not limited,We are not lacking in Energy or Powers. Sometimes when Rex, Nada, Pearl, and I have walkedthrough the Classrooms—why, I tell you, sometimes I have thought We were releasing Energyenough to lift the roof off! And I tell you, Detroit showed the proof of it; and it is going to show itmore and more if I have to call the Powers of the Universe into action.

These Children of Earth are going to be Free, whether they want it or not. When We have thisFreedom with scarcely any effort, and when you are making the effort you are and are sincere—nomatter whether you are understanding fully or not—I insist that you have that Freedom. Andbelieve it or not, Dear Ones, as long as you will stand steadfastly by your Presence of Light andmake your Application, be it humble or great, then I tell you, that Power shall release to give youevery Assistance and all the Courage and Strength that is possible for your achievement. Please donot ever doubt it again, if you have before.

I tell you this thing is going to cease. When there are thousands of Students in America todaywith such earnest enthusiasm and joy in their Application—I do not care what the rest of them arecreating, it has no power to touch these Beloved Students; and I will blast every destructive thingand creation before it shall continue to harm and affect these Students. Now believe it! We meanbusiness, and I hope you do as much!

Beloved Ones, I know this is a very delicate point to touch upon, but I am going to say itwhether it is or not. When individuals—it doesn’t make any difference to Me whether it ishusband, wife, friend, brother, sister, or whoever it is—when there is one human being who thinkshe or she can dominate another and make a mop rag out of that one, I tell you it is too much; but thatcondition exists in many parts of the World, and in thousands of homes. I want to tell you if thatindividual—whether feminine or masculine—would stand up and say to that force: “You have hadyour day. Now shut up!” and mean it and feel the Power of the “Presence,” that destructive thingthat has browbeaten and beaten down blessed, timid, humble individuals, would do it no more.

This Power of Light that beats your Heart is Supreme! You don’t have to be unkind andperform a tragedy, but you can assert the Power of your “Presence” and make that humandestructive thing be silent and shut up. It is a pitiful thing existing in the World today. Dear Hearts,there is no human being in existence that should try to dominate another.

You notice how the Messengers leave every human being absolutely free. Of course therehave been a few half-sane individuals that said the Messengers were trying to become dictators.Well, the Messengers are keeping the Work of Saint Germain clean and pure; and mark what I tellyou, that Beloved Saint Germain’s Work of the centuries will be kept clean and pure and there isnothing of mankind’s creation that is going to get mixed up in It! That Work is the Freedom of everyhuman being on Earth who will apply It and forget everything else, but the people who try to mix Itup with Tom, Dick, and Harry and everything else, won’t have Freedom.

Dear Hearts, you might just as well face yourself and your world. The Great Divine Directorand Great Ones—and They know—have said to the Students if they would forget everything elsethey had studied, they would have their Freedom very quickly. If they do not want to do that, it istheir own business; but when those Great Ones have said that, it should be Authority enough to try

it out for a while.This sounds like a dictator—but Dear Ones, Our Love is so great that when We see and know

what will produce your Happiness, Freedom, Supply, and Perfection, do you blame Us if We put itto you in plain truth? We have got to do it if you are going to be Free. It is not that We are trying todeprive you of anything, but give you everything. This Application of Saint Germain’s willproduce it if you do not allow other things to come in and intrude.

Look at the Messengers—They were willing to forget everything else on the spot. When thisMessenger returned from those experiences, They wiped out everything in Their lives that Theyhad ever studied or thought of; and Their Freedom is at hand. They have accomplished what noother two individuals in America or the World have ever accomplished.

That is why, Dear Hearts, tonight when I find the opportunity, I try so earnestly to make itclear and have you understand what the seeming necessity is, in order for you to have yourFreedom more quickly. We want to give you every Assistance. Tonight I think I shall tell you—willyou count the number of evenings in your Groups and then count the days in the Classes, and thenunderstand the Mighty Elements that are being charged into your feeling world to give you thatAssistance which everyone needs and will have, with their acceptance, to give them their Freedomquickly.

Dear Ones, never in the history of the Earth has so much been done for mankind. In all yourearnestness I want you to feel deeply that your Application brings forth the Power of Light whichknows no opposite and only asks the harmony of your feeling world to let It come forth and buildand build with great rapidity, until all of a sudden that Great Power becomes so Great that It justflows forth and your whole world becomes one of Happiness and Harmony.

My Happiness is so great tonight in being able to convey this with sufficient positive force todissolve and consume so much that has been disturbing you. You may not see it just now, but beforethe end of the week you will see it. Take advantage, Dear Hearts, and in the remainder of theGroup Meetings charge yourself night and morning, that your “Presence”—or through your HigherMental Body, It enables you to comprehend, accept, and hold firmly in action every Quality that theAscended Masters have given forth into your feeling world for action. You will get so much morepowerful action out of it, so much quicker results.

If at any time doubts or fears beset you, just straighten yourself and say to them: “Now I canlook you straight in the eye and tell you that you have no power. And I mean it with the full Powerof my ‘Presence’! Now, can you do anything against my ‘Presence’?” It knows it cannot, and youwill have no back talk. Dear Ones, I just tell you, you have got to be firm and strong in the refusalof acceptance of these appearances anymore.

If something suddenly looms up in front of you that seems terrifying, say, “Hold on just aminute, you are outside of my world,” and then call instantly to your “Mighty I AM Presence” andthe Ascended Masters to dissolve and consume that thing, cause, effect, and record, no matterwhere it comes from. You will see how quickly you will be absolutely free from any touch of it;and in this firmness you are gaining, you will find just the same as the Messenger does, your oneCall will do the work.

In the action that is required today, feel the full Power of your “Mighty Presence” in actionevery moment. And if you ask your Higher Mental Body to stand guard over you, prompt you, andmake you alert to every condition, and cause you to understand what is necessary on the spur of themoment—why, you will soon be acting in perfect accord with all your “Presence” requires todissolve and consume conditions, and set yourself free from them. I tell you, I do not care if thoseconditions have existed for centuries, they have no power as soon as you turn to your “Presence,”

call on the Law of Forgiveness, and ask that they be dissolved. That moment they have no power toaffect you and your world. Oh, please feel it.

I assert to you tonight again, did you see with the All-seeing Eye within you, the Service theGreat Divine Director has rendered to your city of New York—never was a greater Miracleperformed on the face of this Earth than that, up to this date. Because the need was so great, andbecause He wished to establish a Mighty Focus of Light as was described to you on Sunday, it hadto be done—or your city could not survive.

And great praise, thanks, and gratitude to you blessed earnest, sincere Students in your cityand environment, for the wonderful Service rendered! It has seemed to you possibly not so much,but oh, it is so much greater than you can possibly comprehend as yet. So please accept Our Wordfor it, until you see the fullness of it yourselves. It is great! And could you see the great Intensity ofthe Work of the Students in the Groups and individually since the last Shrine Class in Los Angeles,you would be amazed. It is increasing so tremendously, and there are scarcely any of the Studentsthat have not increased the intensity of their own releasing power.

You will remember that there were a great many whose human creation has been wholly andcompletely dissolved and consumed by the Great Divine Director; and those individuals—oh, theymight not feel any great change outwardly, yet the Power released at their Calls is a hundredfoldgreater than before that was done.

You see mankind is so impatient to see some great marvelous Manifestation that theysometimes forget that they are looking for the Manifestation instead of the Light. Don’t do that.Don’t worry about the Manifestation, Beloved Ones; it will come fast enough and be great enoughwhen you have given sufficient attention to your “Presence” and the Light.

Oh, don’t worry about what is going to happen, but just go on in great Adoration and the Callto your “Presence,” and let your “Presence” govern all that. Then one day when you least expect it,some great tremendous thing will rush forward into action. Then you will be satisfied forever.

Do you know—of course you don’t—the Messenger had a letter today. You see I am readingHis letters—and this individual said: “Why do I doubt this and that, ... when I have hadManifestations of the ‘Presence’ enough to satisfy the most skeptical?” Can you imagine—anindividual who has had all that proof of the Law of the “Presence”? I am using this as anillustration.

Now this is the point! What is acting in that Blessed One? I went on purpose to investigate,because it was so unusual, and I found that one was scarcely using the Violet Consuming Flame atall. Now Dear Ones, mark what I tell you: when something is continuing to try to intrude, it isthrough subtle suggestions of feeling, either within yourself or elsewhere. And if you will use theViolet Consuming Flame with sufficient intensity—I mean by that, call the “Presence” to do it, andthen you in your intensity of acceptance, feel that charge through your body—you will find thosethings will cease to be.

That is imperative. Mankind has got to do it if they are going to be free from what are manytimes just little things which suddenly intrude and are disturbing. Be firm and unyielding, and don’tforget those two things: Refuse acceptance of every discordant limiting thing; and say to thosethings: “You have no power!” It does not make any difference if you have said it a million times;if you keep it up, one day it will smash down all resistance of destructive forces whether it is yourown creation or someone else’s. There is nothing that can stand before that Great Command!

Do you know what that is? I wonder, do you? When you say to the appearance of limitationsor disturbance, “You have no power,” do you not see it is the Power of Light—your “Presence”—voicing Its Great Command there for you, to keep you free from the effect of those conditions. It

matters not whether it is your own creation or somebody else’s; that has nothing to do with it. It isa Great Command going forth to silence that thing; and once you understand that, you will onlyrequire one Command like that to set yourself Free!

Do you not see, you could not have the Intelligence, you could not have the Power, you couldnot have the Understanding to issue a Mighty Decree like that, except through the Power of your“Presence.” Don’t you see the human could not do it? Furthermore, when you do say that, it is thePower of your “Presence,” the Power of Light that has issued that Mighty Decree for yourFreedom. Try to feel it, Beloved Ones!

I know you feel it. Rex, Pearl, and Nada are here tonight with Me, and I convey to you TheirLove and Blessings. Let Us help you into that Victory; We want to so much. And if someday you getjust a little bit in the dumps, just send Me your thought and feeling—and if you do not come out ofthat in a hurry I will be surprised!

Saint Germain very often smiles at Our great Enthusiasm. You know, it is said that youth doesnot always have discrimination; but thanks to Him We do have It now, and that Enthusiasm shallnever cease. And when We can project a Light Ray to any one of you precious ones and give youOur Happiness, Enthusiasm, Joy, Strength, and Courage, oh, can you know the Happiness that itgives Us? No words can describe those Mighty Activities.

I have been quite tempted sometimes when individuals feel a little down, to give them a goodsound slap on the back; but I know that it might frighten them, rather than give the assistance I amendeavoring to give. One time many, many years ago, when this Good Messenger was still eatingmeat and He had gone to a restaurant and had a nice juicy steak, when He cut off the first bite theclarion Voice—and He thought everybody in the block heard it—said, “This is your last meal ofmeat!” He thought, well if that is the case, I will go on and finish this. He took a bite; and thelonger He chewed it, the larger it got. Finally it got too large to swallow, so that was the end of thesteak. Dear Ones, many, many people have wonderful promptings, but they so soon forget them. Sowatch!

I do not mean that you should jump to every kind of conclusion—not at all; but watch withgreat calm serenity for these Inner promptings, as they are very apt to come through your feelingsgently, but sometimes forcefully. Watch for those promptings and call to your “Presence” to promptyou. Your Higher Mental Body will do it for It knows the need of your Call.

If you don’t call, you won’t get them, except as the general expansion of your Light finallybrings them forth into action. However the result is worth every effort of many lifetimes, DearOnes, to come into that Freedom.

If you could know how the Messenger feels towards you, Blessed Ones, when He has thatgreat Serenity and Freedom and wants you to have it so much—yet He knows that it must comethrough your Application and your acceptance, and He must be patient until you see and feelclearly and stand guard, calling forth the Inner promptings to make you alert and aware of all thatis required, so that you give that sufficient Obedience to the Light to let this quickly be done.

I rejoice so greatly at the Achievement of this night, and may every one of you join Me in thatgreat rejoicing, gratitude, praise, and thanks to the Great Presence and Power of Light that doeseverything so perfectly, so beautifully and eternally; for all Accomplishment of the Light is apermanently sustained Activity and never has to be redone. Therefore, every step you gain in therelease of the Powers of Light stands there firm and unyielding until more steps are gained andfinally you stand upon the pinnacle of Life, looking back upon all that has been; and then turningyour face to the “Presence,” looking back again say to that creation, “How could it be possible thatonce thou didst bind me in thy limitations?”

Remember! you are Ambassadors of Light—the Powers of the Presence of all Life in actionat your point in the Universe. As you call Its great Commanding Powers forth into action, is thereanything that could refuse It, could resist It, or prevent Its Perfection coming forth into action andexpression? Remember, there is nothing that could do it! Therefore, in the confidence of your ownCall, feel It deeply. No matter what has been, know from this hour forth you are the Victor of yourCall. It is the Light of your “Presence” that answers, and you cannot fail in a single thing.

My Love and the Love of those Great Ones present goes with you, breaking down everybarrier that has ever confronted you; and if you will join your love to Ours with a dynamic Powerof the Action of Life, then everything discordant shall disappear from your pathway, and you shallwalk as in the evening of Happiness, in the morning of Victory, and in the Powers of the Freedomof Light. I thank you.

DISCOURSE V

May 28, 1938NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

Beloved Friends of the Light, what a Joy it is to find you together in the Glory and Happinessof all that your “Mighty I AM Presence” and the Ascended Masters are bringing to you.

I congratulate our Beloved Brother of Light, Donald; for what He has said today will be aneternal record, and may He feel that hold him so close in the Glory of the “Mighty I AMPresence”—that Great Light of God—so that He may soon join Us in the Glory of that GreatEternal Freedom; that We may walk side by side in the Great Power of Light, pouring forth to Earthwhat she must have at this time.

Our Joy, Beloved Students, is an ever-increasing activity in Our Lives. As We come incontact with you and the conditions in which you move, We cannot help but be reminded howrecently we were in those limited bodies; and Beloved Ones, remember you do not know whatyour Great Presence of Life might do for you at any moment in your intense devotion and adorationto that Presence of Life. I urge you again this morning to give full power to your own “Mighty IAM Presence,” and then let Its Wisdom do for you what possibly you could not even imaginetoday. I tell you, the time is at hand when the Light of your own being may do any so-calledmiraculous thing.

There is no limit now to the Beloved Students everywhere. Remember, you have besides yourown sincere effort more than five hundred thousand people who are making these Calls. And doyou not remember that everyone who makes that Call is adding to your own effort? You are one asa Body of Students, Beloved Ones. Your thought, your feeling is calling to the same Great Presenceof Life, and that is how it has been possible for the Ascended Masters to do what has been done upto the present time. I assure you, if you were to see with the All-Seeing Eye within you andunderstand in detail all that has been done, you would think it the most incredible thing that hasever been accomplished on Earth—and so it is!

We cannot take the time because of the requirements of the Messengers; but if We were to talkto you for eight hours a day for twenty days, We could not convey to you the Achievement of theAscended Masters, the Legions of Light, and the Cosmic Beings in the past six months. It is so far-reaching, but We can only utilize the time at hand.

This Victory in the opening of this Class, We trust, will mark the last attempt to directlyinterfere with the Work. We smile, really, at human attempts to interfere with the great Power ofLight. It only shows how very ignorant mankind is and what the Power of Light and the CosmicLight mean, which the Great Ones are telling you about. It is no imaginary thing, but a MightySubstance and Intelligence that is being released into the surface of the Earth, in which everyone isbeing enfolded. And remember, everyone absorbs some of It; but you who are calling so earnestlyto your own “Mighty I AM Presence” and to Us, think how much more tremendous you become asa mighty attracting focus to draw this great Outpouring of the Cosmic Light around you, into yourbody, to help in the dissolving of the discord that has been generated through the centuries.

The Great Divine Director has rendered you a never-to-be-forgotten Service in this Class. Imay not say more than that, and shall leave it to Him to say more if He wishes; but everyopportunity is watched by Them most carefully, not only collectively but individually, that everypossible Assistance be given, so that They may release more Light from within Themselves, withinyourselves. For in that is substance from the human octave, which They are able to amplify and

give a greater release to those who have not yet come to know of this Great Light.We thank and bless our blessed friend who has made this Radio Broadcast from the Classes

possible, and the blessed, blessed Students here who have completed their part of that. Oh, DearOnes, if once you understand, or shall we discard that and say when you understand the Power ofyour own Light to draw to you everything you desire—for it is not out here, Beloved Ones. Theappearance of it is here, but the Power is here [pointing to “Presence”] that draws to you thesethings. Won’t you remember that?

It is so powerful that if you gain the full feeling of that now, it would be only a matter ofhours, days, possibly weeks at most until your intensity of feeling would draw from your“Presence” such Intelligence, Power, and Energy that all conditions in the outer world wouldconform in harmony and the releasing of money, happiness, health, and supply of all you require. Itis not a matter of questioning, but a power of applying the Law which you have come to know.Therefore, Beloved Ones, stand unyielding, unwavering in your mighty Application.

Now let us this morning just get this point so firmly within you. What is it that is making thisCall? How and what is it that is issuing these Decrees? Do you think, Beloved Ones, that it is justthe human form? If you do, then that is where you are still being limited. If you realize that theIntelligence, the Energy that you release is the Power of your “Presence” which knows noopposition to the Light, then you will see how your Application is All-powerful—how it iscompelled to produce the results you require.

May I be able to pour forth such a conviction of this into your feeling world that you willnever lose it for a single moment! If you don’t watch your feeling—many of you as yet—you willfind the feeling is inclined to accept that the outer is still responsible. It is not. It has mademistakes, true enough—but the “Presence” doesn’t mind that; but when you allow the feeling of theouter to accept that it is doing something, then you are obstructing the way.

Just realize in every minutest part of your Application: “Now when I begin to make this Call,it is my ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ whose Intelligence, Energy, Light, and Power is acting; and that isthe Energy, Intelligence, and Power by which I am able to make the Call. Therefore, it is my‘Presence’—Its Mighty Intelligence and Energy—that is making this Call. Therefore, there is noopposition to It!”

Do you not see how practical, very practical, it is once you gain the full conviction that inevery Call you utter to your “Presence,” it is the “Presence” acting; it is not the outer. Through theouter the Intelligence, Energy, and Power of the “Presence” is making the Call. The “Presence,”then, is making the Call and is also answering it. Do you not see how, then, all appearances ofrequirement contain the answer, because it is the Power of the “Presence” making the Call, and thePower of your “Presence” answering it.

I want you, so much, to gain the Full Acceptance, Consciousness, and Feeling of this; and youwill not have difficulty then in having the answer to your Call. There is only One Power, OneIntelligence, One Energy to act, and that is from the Presence of all Life, the “Mighty I AM.” Andwhile all of you have an individualized Presence of God within you, yet the Great “I AM” of eachone is one in Quality and Perfection. Therefore, We can justly say that the “I AM” of all of you isOne, while still individualized. You are one, all of you, insofar as your Energy, your Life, yourIntelligence, and the Substance which you use is concerned. It is but the One individualized andacting for you according to your qualification of It. Therefore today let us feel that.

Do you wonder why We are urging and urging and urging you on? Because you are so near theGoal. You are so near the complete Victory wherein you will have the full feeling of yourCommanding Presence of Light to govern everything in your world, and hold your own feeling so

harmonious that no person, place, or condition in the World can have the slightest effect inirritating or disturbing you.

Of course I am known for My Enthusiasm (applause), but this is not over-enthusiasm—it isthe real thing! And that is why I am calling your attention to It at every opportunity, because DearOnes, you are the Victory of Light. When We see that which is just ahead of you collectively andindividually, it is not an easy thing to hold back. It is like the onrushing of a mighty avalanche, onlythis is wholly constructive. But Beloved Ones, it’s only a little further until that great avalanchewill release into the world of mankind; and I trust that by the time the Messengers return to you,that great avalanche will have completely released.

The Messengers’ tremendous Call to the Great Divine Director and the Mighty Astrea has seta Power indescribable into action in your city. (applause) And We have joined in the qualificationof that to release and set free the young people of your city. (applause—audience rising) You haveno idea, Beloved Ones, just now, quite what that means; for the future of America and that almostimmediately ahead, require a certain release of the Youth of America. And as We have observedthese blessed, blessed young people thus far who have become so intensely interested, loyal, andfirm, I want to say for their encouragement, the Great Divine Director has Power you know not of,which He has chosen to use with you in that Victory—the Ascended Master Youth of America.What a magnificent thing! What a magnificent expression! What a magnificent Radiation and Powerthose qualities release. No words can describe it.

Therefore today in all that is coming forth—and perhaps the Messenger won’t just appreciatewhat I am going to say; but I urge you, Beloved Students of America and the World, as soon asthese Songs of His are available, use them as often as you can in your individual life and yourworld. You will find they carry a Power of releasing Freedom that is not reached so far byanything. (applause) You will never know how the Power of the Goddess of Liberty goes forththrough that Harmony, and the Power of Victory through the song “Victory.”

And as soon as these are available, Beloved Ones, let them do their perfect work for you.Once you understand fully what the Power of Vibration means, and how tremendous the harmony ofMusic is to dissolve and lift you out of limitations when the right vibratory action through Music isgiven forth—and it is not so long until mankind will come to understand that, and especially theStudents everywhere. They will see and feel the change in the vibratory action within their ownbodies; and that day you come to know who the Great Tenor is, will you know what that means tothe World. (applause)

Shortly or by the time the Shrine Class comes into action, you will find two of the mostglorious surprises for you. Wonderful!—so may I just whet your appetite a little? Why do I do it?Not to tease you, but so that in that great expectation you may generate a Power when That isbefore you, that will suddenly be released to bless you beyond your fondest imagination. That iswhy sometimes We call your attention to things, because remember your Blessed, Blessed FriendDavid Lloyd—you will never know what a Friend He is until you are Ascended—He never stopsone instant in the twenty-four hours, in what He is doing for the people of America. (applause)

Words do not quite convey to you yet what it means for One so recently having attained theAscension, and there are no words to explain to you just the Inner Action of the Law. That is whyWe Children are able to do certain things and be of Assistance to the Great Beings of Light, whichjust are not describable to you, but yet they are the combination and the release of Force, Power,and Energy into the human octave that is so imperative at this time; and that is why We werereleased from the human limitations.

Remember you do not yet, Precious People, have the full meaning of the last chapter of The

Magic Presence. The Messenger has reminded you many times to read it, but still you have not thefullness of what is there. I give you just this much—these same Words are there: When the GreatDivine Director said to Us, “We give you bodies such as the outer world has never known,” thatwas to hold the connection in the human octave for the Service that was to be rendered. You willget it, don’t be discouraged; but that last chapter holds a Secret, Beloved Ones, that once you feel—don’t jump at conclusions, but just feel It, within you individually. It is quite possible that at acertain point of attainment and Expansion of your Light, He may suddenly reveal It to you in somany words, as far as those Words can explain. In the meantime, rejoice in It.

We think We see a means of accomplishing certain things for the young people of America.And when We find out definitely to just how great an extent We can accomplish this, We shall letyou know. But never in the history of the World has so much been done—and necessarily, someexperimenting to see how certain forces can be established to act within the feeling world ofmankind which will produce certain definite results. This must be done unknown to the outeractivity of the consciousness of the individual so that there is no resistance of any kind. I do notmean that it would not be done willingly; but the majority would begin to revolve upon it, and thatis not always well.

So remember, Dear Ones, with all the joy of your being that you are never alone again. TheGreat Power of Light is watching over you like a mother her infant, because it means so much notonly to you, but to the achievement for America and the World. This Cup of America must bemaintained; and knowing that the Light is All-powerful and We have your willing cooperation, Irejoice in the cities where so much discord among the Students—it’s just foolishness, because oneopinion doesn’t agree with the other—is going down so rapidly. Oh, I am so grateful. We are all sograteful!

Oh, Beloved Ones, don’t let the human feeling or opinion cause disturbance of any kind. Iftwo people who do not agree would just be silent and wait, the first thing they know, everythingthat has been discordant would be at the one point of Perfection. But as long as you try throughdiscord in the outer to correct a thing, to bring two points to one point of harmony, you cannot do it.It only builds the opposition. So don’t try it.

Just be so happy in the Adoration of your “Presence,” and if someone else doesn’t agree, say,“God bless you,” and run along. Don’t you see then how nothing in the world can disturb yourfeelings? That is the most important thing in your world today! Then the Great Power can comeforth and release to you so-called Miracles inconceivable, but it must be maintained long enoughfor that momentum to get flowing.

Just look at our Blessed David Lloyd who through those long years gained that momentum ofexpectation; and when He was suddenly confronted by It, the whole Power of His being wasreleased and the Achievement was within the hour. Oh, who of you shall say that the same thingshall not be for you—if not in your Ascension, then in the Perfection of all things in the outerworld. That is the Joy, and do you not see that there is not one thing that should ever irritate ordisturb you when you see this Goal before you and know that harmony maintained in your feelingworld is the wide-open door to It quickly—not a long period of time, but immediately you mayhave the full Glory of It.

Let Me say to you, oh Dear Ones, whatever the human habits may be within you, don’t fightthem; but just call the “Presence” to take out every undesirable desire, and be so firm in it. And allof a sudden you will find they have disappeared.

I think within the year, possibly within the coming six months, a great change will take placein the understanding of the medical world and the doctors so that they will no longer encourage

excesses. The sinister forces have kept upon mankind the abnormal sex desire. It is the last clawupon humanity. One moment’s Adoration to the Great Presence of Light can give you more joy thanall sex gratification in a lifetime. That is what mankind is going to come to understand, becausethat is where most of the rebellion comes in the feeling of mankind. They feel they are beingdeprived of something. Instead, they are receiving the Joy, the Perfection of Life which nothing inthe World can give them but the release from those excesses.

Therefore, Beloved Ones, if it be smoking, drinking, or whatever the condition is, just with agreat calm firmness call the “Presence” to take out of you that desire and replace it by ItsSatisfaction and Perfection. It is easy. It is not difficult; but as soon as you begin to battle a thingthrough the outer feeling, you will more often bind it to you than get the release.

Therefore, just settle your feeling and say with very great firmness in your feeling: “ ‘Mighty IAM Presence,’ take this desire out of me, and replace it with Your Satisfaction and Perfection,”and you will never have difficulty in getting rid of the undesirable desires and habits. You haverecently been told that the place habit forms is in the clothing of density around the Points of Lightwithin your physical structure, your flesh body. And remember as your Light expands in the cells ofyour body, then that desire must inevitably loosen, because when it is dissolved it is no more. Andyour Application that you are using now with great intenseness—“cause, effect, and record”—oh,what it means to you, Beloved Humanity! To remove a thing without its record is only partiallycomplete, but when you add that phrase by your power of qualification, it is magnificent. It is thething completed, and that is what everyone is coming to know and understand in their Application.It is the completed thing that closes that chapter in the human life.

Oh, it is so wonderful; it is all so glorious. And as We see you going on and approachingcloser and closer that great Goal of Life, oh what a magnificent thing it is! Remember, so recentlywe were right in bodies like yours. If it can be done for Us—which it was—then why cannot it bedone for you? Oh, don’t ever feel rebellious because it has not been done, because if you do, youshut the door. Like one man in Washington, D.C., two years ago came to the Messenger and said,“Why if You can do this, why can’t I?” Finally after long urging the Messenger told him why, andHe has not seen him since.

Therefore, Beloved Ones, remember that there is no longer a battle of Life. There is no longerbattle between the intellect and the Heart in your Acknowledgment of the “Presence.” The Hearthas Its dominion because there is where the Light of all the World is anchored in the human form.Just feel it. Rejoice with all your Heart, and just let It do Its perfect work. Oh, don’t ever feelrebellious to Life because you have not yet been liberated from limitations—that would just closethe chapter for you; but with all rejoicing in the Heart just say to those appearances, even thoughyou haven’t a dime in your pocket: “Oh you human creation, you have scared me for the last time.Run along. You have no power! ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ take command of this body. Do Yourperfect work through it. Take out all feeling of limitations. Send it forth directed by Your MightyDirecting Intelligence, by Your Activity; and give it the Power of Life.” You would dissolveanything, and you would have the courage and strength to go forward in the name of Life, thePower and Intelligence of your “Mighty I AM Presence.” And there would not be a human thingthat could deprive you longer or stand between you and the release of the Treasure-house of your“Presence” of everything you require.

We love you, We bless you, We thank you for your sincerity and devotion to the Light. Go onand on and on into that full Power of Its Glory, until that day when you stand with Us and We shakeyour hand. And Donald, may I shake your hand by My Energy through this human form, until theday when We clasp hands face to face and know the Feeling, the Glory of Eternal Freedom.

I want the Youth of America to know that Rex, Pearl, Nada, and Myself clasp your hands eventhough you don’t see it—with Our Mighty Strength, Courage, and Energy to help you on to theEternal Victory of Life. I thank you.

DISCOURSE VI

September 2, 1938OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

How I love to say, “Ascended Master Youth of America”! Can you feel with Me for a fewmoments all that that means? Now remember in my capacity and action before My Freedom I livedand acted within the outer world, never dreaming of the Majesty, the Beauty, and the Great Wisdomthat was so soon to become mine; and only yesterday in some matters of discussion, I wasreminded of my activity in the Mining School, just out of Denver—to think that in becoming amining engineer, the thing that would sometimes seem to be the opposite of all that means spiritualattainment; but yet I found wonderful associates really.

Of course I did not know it then, but I know today it was the Light within my own Heart thatwas drawing me and attracting me to the conditions that meant My Freedom.

I want to give you today just a little touch of my own experience in coming in contact with Mr.Rayborn. When I sent forth my application, little dreaming of all that was going to mean to me andin my service, and when I finally met him, I am frank to say, although I did not know what it was—when I shook hands with him and felt that tremendous power of kindly radiation going forth fromhim, then intuitively I began to just feel a little and understand his success and all that he haddrawn about him.

I am speaking of this to you today for a very definite reason, because according to the feelingsustained within you of kindness and the Power of Divine Love and Harmony do you becomeAscended Master Youth of America, a mighty Magnet drawing to you not only the Perfection ofyour own Life within your own Life Stream, but all from without that you contact. Do you realizewhat that means in your association with the outer world—to call forth the Perfection of Lifeinstead of human qualities, through that Stream of Energy that is within each individual’s Heart?Do you realize your responsibility and your joy and the Service, not only to yourself but to yourfellowman, in calling forth that great Perfection, instead of human qualities?

And I suggest to you, Beloved Ascended Master Youth, do not place yourselves in positionswhere temptation offers its clutches. It is much easier to avoid those things than to rush into themand then conquer them after they have started to go into action in your world.

A very peculiar thing—and this, so far as I have been able to observe, is the most rare thing.Even in my contact with my fellow students in college and in my contact with the business worldafterward—and of course among mining men you would scarcely expect to find a great deal ofPerfection so far as the high Ideals were concerned; and yet, as I know and see today how Rex andNada, Pearl and myself were sheltered—you will never know how much. Of course the blessedMother of Rex and Nada was watching over us and, in that All-Seeing Eye saw what was coming,long before we in the outer were conscious of it. Seeing that I would be drawn into Her family,into this Mighty Power and Radiation of Saint Germain, naturally She poured forth Her Radiation.

Of course you who have read the Books know that long, long before I ever dreamed of such athing, my sister, Pearl, was being taught by Beloved Saint Germain. I used to wonder how in theworld that child was so contented, because our aunt, with whom she lived, was not such a happyindividual. And then when I found that Beloved Saint Germain had been teaching her in theTangible Body for years, it was a memory I shall never forget. My Gratitude to Saint Germain, yettoday when My thought returns to it, is unparalleled.

Therefore to you—Rex, Nada, Pearl, and Myself are the proof to the World! And if you don’t

believe We are real, that We so recently lived in physical bodies like you, then dismiss it fromyour minds—because We did! And I want you to realize that perhaps I may be overstepping Mybounds, but I am going to say it anyhow. Among the Ascended Master Youth whose attention hasbeen called to this Great Presence of Life thus far, had you ever contemplated how many of themmight be almost as ready for their Freedom as we were? I say to you Ascended Master Youth,don’t pass that by. You don’t know in the outer what the Light within you knows, and what It is ableto do through you and for you.

Thus if you will understand and by your attention —oh, what a magnificent thing. If SaintGermain had brought forth nothing else in the World but just what your attention, your physicalsight, your vision, and your qualification do, He would have rendered a Service to the Earthunparalleled through the ages. Mankind is living this constantly, but heretofore by the qualificationwas absolutely undoing all the Perfection that Life would naturally have brought to them throughthis natural flow through the body.

I say to you now, Ascended Master Youth—and make no mistake about this—you can have,you can maintain perfect health in your body by calling to the “Presence” and by the conserving ofyour energy. And you will not ever know pain or distress in your body if you will do that. It isimperative.

Therefore, I say to you, We who have so recently moved in physical bodies like yours and arenow in the position to see and know definitely and exactly as in mathematics, what results certainfeelings and activities produce—then you will understand how you are dealing with an absolute,definite Law, a Law of Life that cannot be changed. Whatever feeling you put forth from yourfeeling world is what is going to act in your world and through your physical body. If it isinharmony, then you will outpicture discord in your body and failure in your business, no matterwhat your attention is upon. Whether you are an artist or in the business world, as long as thosequalities—criticism, condemnation, and discord of any kind act in your feeling world, they havegot to outpicture through your action and in your body.

Many of you are beautiful Ascended Master Youth with a beauty that in the conditions of theouter world today is rare and is proof to mankind absolutely of the Light that is within yourprecious Hearts. It is worth everything in the World. Hold that beauty, Beloved Ones, and let itgrow greater, instead of diminishing it by the waste of your life energy through every conceivablemeans; for anger, criticism, and discord of every kind, as well as the waste of your sex energy,will take away your beauty and buoyancy and Perfection. Stand firm in the Power of your Light.

Today, with the Assistance they have, mankind is in a position to again become Gods andGoddesses by the Power of their “Presence” pouring Its Mighty Radiance through them. And Irejoiced, rejoiced very greatly at the remarks of Donald, for I tell you it is so true: the only realHappiness comes in your adoration to the Presence of all Life, the “Mighty I AM,” and thePerfection It releases into you and your world. Outer things of amusement produce momentaryhappiness—at least you think it is happiness, but only when you have experienced the happiness offeeling the outpicturing, the pouring forth and releasing of Love to mankind from the Great“Presence” and the Ascended Masters, will you know what true happiness is.

The Messengers who are before you, and Donald, are beginning to realize that They hadnever known real happiness in the World until They began this Work. There are many things in theouter world that give you, as the expression has become so prevalent, a “thrill”; but oh Dear Ones,forget that thrill, won’t you please. There is that suggestion of mankind among the youth of Americato want a thrill. It is a most dangerous thing. Do you know what that means as understood amongmankind today? It means action of human qualities, and I am sure you do not want it.

What you want is Ascended Master Qualities. And the name you have accepted for your youthof America is the most magnificent thing in its vibratory action that was ever given to mankind orto the youth of any nation—the Ascended Master Youth of America. It should and it does—pleasenotice it every time you voice that into the atmosphere—it brings a power of Radiation that theAscended Masters have long, long hoped to give to the young people of the World.

Remember, you are the example to the rest of the World of the Beauty, the Perfection, theOutpicturing of those Qualities which the Ascended Master Youth are to represent; and if you dosomething as an Ascended Master Youth that is disgraceful, unkind, or the outpicturing of verydiscordant human qualities, then again mankind looks upon you as a representative of the AscendedMasters.

I want you to feel that, oh, with no strain of responsibility—not that, for We would not haveyou feel that for anything in the world—but just with joy. And whatever you may choose to fix yourattention upon, dismiss from your vocabulary and from your feeling world the old terminology ofwork. Now please do that if you want to be happy. You can serve to the limit of your strength,physically speaking, and be absolutely happy and free from exhaustion. You do not have to feel theconditions; and it is only by the qualification that mankind has put upon these outer experiences,that it acts with the mass accumulation in your feeling world.

Therefore, I say to you beloved Youth, feel in all that you do, that you are rendering a Serviceto the Light. That is true, but look what it does for you. The minute you feel that you are serving theLight, remember your feeling is your powerhouse; and the minute your thought goes forth, “Why, Iam serving the Light!” the Light returns in Its Limitless Energy to sustain you in that Service. Youcannot know exhaustion as you take that attitude of action to Life, that you are serving Life.

And remember, Obedience is the greatest thing in the Universe! Don’t feel that you can takethe reins and do anything in the world that you choose in the outer, and if it be somethingdiscordant and impure, that you will not pay the penalty. You will pay it, and a thousand timesmore quickly today than you would have fifty years ago, because the Cosmic Light is taking ItsDominion on Earth. And while it is absolutely imperative for some time yet, for mankind to makethe dynamic Call to dissolve and consume every discordant thing among mankind, yet try to feel inthe face of any appearance in the outer world, that the Victory of the Light is sure.

Be just as firm and determined and sure in your feeling that human creation has no power.Then in your own Life Stream will come that Courage and Confidence which repels from youanything that would retard or limit your progress in any way.

Now let Me suggest this. You know the condition that has existed in America and the Worldtoday in the lack of employment, so-called. Now Beloved Ascended Master Youth, don’t youaccept that into your world for one moment. It does not make any difference what the rest of theworld is doing; you have the Authority and Power in your Life Stream to bring yourself into thedesirable employment you wish to have, and there is nothing in all human creation to prevent youfrom doing it. Mankind who do not understand this Great Law will experience the other, but that isnot your fault; and that is no reason you should be out of employment in your Service, just becausethe mass of mankind has accepted that there is not room, there is not employment.

That is why you have to be staunch and firm against the mass suggestion. Don’t accept it. Youdon’t have to be out of employment just because the mass of mankind believes in lack. Therefore,if you take your stand with the Powers of Light to produce Perfection in whatever your attention isfixed upon, you will have that in spite of anything if you will stand by it. And you may be sure thatWe will do everything in Our Power to give you that Assistance.

Do you want to know—you will have to get this in your feeling world because words don’t

convey it—just how Rex, Nada, Pearl, and I felt after we came in contact with Saint Germain? Imean in the Cave of Symbols. We thought we were having Supreme Happiness, but do you knowthat it was only a fragment of what We are actually experiencing today? Think of it, to be able to goanywhere in the Universe and gain your knowledge firsthand. Will you try to feel that for a fewmoments with Me, because We are constantly going everywhere, seeing, knowing, feeling, andbeing all that We wish to acquire.

Here in the human octave you have to gather from the intellect, and you don’t alwaysexperience it in the feeling; but when you have the combined action of the Feeling and Power ofLife acting in the Trinity of Action, then you know all that it means to you. We are experiencing thattoday, and the fullness of that Joy and Happiness is complete. Therefore, I say to you beloved ones,in all the joy and happiness that you wish to express, remember they remain alone in your own LifeStream to be called forth by your attention to the “Mighty I AM” and the Glory of all that holds foryou.

Now it has grown so late I must discontinue. Remember that the Joy and Blessings andFreedom of all Life holds for you, is in your attention sustained to your “Mighty I AM Presence”and in your mighty Application of the simple Laws which It has brought to your attention. As youdo that and stand by It, you will have the Glory and Perfection of all Life holds for you.

We hold your hand, Beloved Ascended Master Youth of America, in the fullness of all Lifepermits Us to release; and bless you, to hold you steady, give you Protection and Mighty DirectingIntelligence to bless your lives forever, and I thank you.

DISCOURSE VII

September 24, 1938SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

Beloved Ascended Master Youth of America and Beloved Students, it is always Our GreatJoy to pour forth an assisting Radiation, and to—I trust during My short talk with you—give youjust a little idea of how important you are to Seattle—you who have stood so earnestly in the Light.But before I continue will this boy over here [Earl Williams], come and sit down by Me?(applause)

I congratulate this blessed Ascended Master Youth of America that his Light chose to havehim represent Me (applause—audience rising); and by My Currents of Energy through the hand ofthe Messenger, I shake his hand and call that the memory of that which he so earnestly endeavoredto represent will find its full expression through him.

And we have another blessed youth whose Light can reach very great heights, our blessed onehere [Bob Donaldson]. (applause—audience rising) May the fullness of his Light find Its fullexpression and bless all he contacts. Nada and Pearl wish Me to be sure I do not neglect the youngladies (applause), but there are so many of them that are so lovely that I cannot very well take eachone individually, so I congratulate all of them in their blessed Light.

Now Beloved Ones, seeing that so many really do not comprehend what the Expansion of theLight really means—intellectually you try to understand it, but in the feeling there is not the fullresponse or comprehension. Here at your Heart Center where your “Mighty I AM Presence” isfocused, is the first point of Light always. You might think, even in looking at the Chart, why not thebrain? Why is not that the point to be illumined as well as the Heart? Because the anchorage of theLight from your “Presence” is in your Heart and not the head. It passes through the head, and that isthe reason the intellect runs away with itself; it gets all puffed up over nothing. And I want to tellyou, Beloved Students, as sure as you let your intellect govern you from what it gathers fromwithout, you will find yourself up against a blank wall sooner or later. You cannot afford to do it inthis understanding of the “Mighty I AM Presence.”

It is your Heart that is the Power that acts, and your intellect must give obedience to It. If thereis arrogance in your intellect or deceit, then your Heart will not release Its Light. Now the reasonfor this has been the accumulated habit of mankind believing that they had to operate through theintellect, because they were gathering information from the outside world. But My Dear Ones, thatis human opinion; and don’t you see it has shut off from mankind the greater flow of theIntelligence from their “Presence” that knows the Perfection of Life, because in that flow or riverof Light from your “Presence” into your physical body is the Intelligence of the “Mighty I AM”who knows, and the intellect that gathers the information from without cannot know! It isimpossible.

You know the information you have gathered, but you do not know the truth or what part of thetruth is in that intellect and the information which it has gathered without. That is why I say to youin all kindness—I refer to a gentleman in Los Angeles who has studied all over this World whobelieves he has a fund of information intellectually that is astonishing, but he is not able to applythe Law even to supply his finances.

Now the intellectual power he has gathered from without amounts to nothing, because it shutsoff the power of his Light that flows forth into his world of action to be the magnet to draw thethings which he wants and should have for use; but instead he is today being a leech upon the

Students when he should be man enough, by the power of his Application, to call forth from hisown Treasure-house, his own “Presence,” the things he requires.

I tell you it is vital, it is important that the Students understand this because, Dear Ones, youare soon coming to the point—you don’t know this, but I do—where that is going to confront you.The Cosmic Light in Its ever-increasing impulses or pulsations to the Earth, is going to compelmankind to see wherein their mistake has been.

There have been so many—really not Students, but who claim to be—that have secretlyspread the idea among the Students wherever they have had the opportunity: “Well, I know morethan the Messenger! Why, I have been an old occult student and I know more than that.” Well, thatis a great mistake on their part. The Messenger will probably not like this, but I have got to say itanyhow. My Dear People, this Messenger standing before you has an understanding so far beyondany person in America today, that if He were to release it, I tell you it would sweep the egotism ofmankind from the face of this Earth. (applause—audience rising)

Now I want you to understand this because We see the opportunity and We want to do somuch in this city and for you; but because of the demand for the protection of America and alsoEurope and the need to prevent these conditions coming from Europe into America, there has beenno time to give forth other information that would be of great value to individuals personally intheir own private Application—it cannot be done. This Work is more important! This protectionhas got to be given first.

And you beloved Students and Group Leaders, as you value the expansion of your Light, donot ever go forth and say that you know more than this Information which Saint Germain has givenforth. If you do, you will regret it as long as you live, and that means far beyond this embodiment.The Messengers do not care anything about what you say, but your own Light cares; and don’t thinkfor one second that you get away with anything that is within your feelings. That is there and makesa record that any Ascended Being sees and knows. We don’t care one thing about what the lips say;but We care about—and you should care about—what is making the record in your feeling world.That is the thing you are going to have to answer for. You can say a lot of things with the lips thatdo not amount to anything, but when you with deep feeling release that feeling, that makes therecord; then that is the thing you are going to pay for.

That is why I say today, be humble before this Great Presence of Life, first your own “MightyI AM” and then the Ascended Beings; but be absolutely positive toward human discordant forces.And if someone comes along and says they know twice as much as you do, be sure they do beforeyou accept it.

Why, above every one of you is the greatest “Presence” in this Universe, the greatestIntelligence; and all it requires is your humbleness to It, your firmness to outside human conditionsand individuals to hold your feeling so harmonious that the full power will quickly flow forth toinstruct you, and cause you to comprehend these majestic instructions which Saint Germain hasbrought forth. Just because they are simple, don’t think they are not important.

This fundamental or foundation that Saint Germain has brought you is the thing that will carryyou to eternal heights and hold and sustain you there. (applause) But I want you to realize today—because it is so important here in your midst to realize those conditions—to realize that noperson’s motive is hidden from their Higher Mental Body or the Great Ones. Try to understand Mewhen I say that even as you sit here, written in the radiance around you is your inmost motive andthought. It is not easy for people to realize that, but to Us it is an Eternal Truth.

You can no more prevent the record of what your intense feeling is than anything in the world,because it is there; no change of intellect will prevent it. Now take these two illustrations: suppose

you release an intense feeling, then you make the Call through the intellect without being backed upby the feeling, to erase that. That feeling, because of its greater intensity—and being yourpowerhouse—would remain there in spite of your Call because the intellect will not erase it; itmust record the feeling released and the Power of the “Presence.” That brings forth that Power ofthe “Presence” that does erase it.

Now that is very important; and you precious young people, if you understand that—and I askyou to please try to understand it since you will be confronted from time to time with similarconditions. If you understand when a mistake has been made either intentionally or otherwise, thatyou do not have to continue in that; but with a great intense release of your feeling, you call your“Presence” to erase that, cause, effect, and record—then the substance released from your humanform will enable the “Presence” to erase this because you, being the decreer of your world, haveasked that it be done.

Now I say to you, Beloved Ones, in asking the “Presence” to use the Violet Consuming Flameto dissolve and consume all your mistakes of the past centuries, unless you will release intensefeeling—in other words, intense desire—for that to be done, you will find getting it done is a longprocess; while with a great release of intense feeling and a great desire to have that done, you giveforth the substance which the “Presence,” through your Higher Mental Body, brings into action toproduce that exact result. That is how you can accomplish things so quickly and with such greatpower if you understand and utilize clearly these simple things. But don’t forget your feeling isyour powerhouse—and no matter what your intellect does, unless it is backed up by the feeling, itwill produce but fragmentary results or none at all.

I want to say to these precious young people: We have often been present with you in yourGroup work, and the magnificent manner in which you conduct your Group Activity is beautifulbeyond words. Your silent attitude, your refusal to discuss anything before, during, or after yourGroup Meetings is a magnificent attitude toward Life. It means you are carrying back to Life yourfull earnest intensity and command for Freedom; and I tell you, if the older people would onlyunderstand—and oh, how I plead with you, STOP your silly, nonsensical discussion of discordantthings. You will never have your Freedom in the world as long as you continue to do it. And whenyou come into your Groups, Precious People, come there to render that Service to the Light. Do notdiscuss anything of the outside world if you want to have and produce magnificent results fromyour Group work.

Dear Ones, that is one reason I congratulate Mrs. Fowler. The magnificent work she has beendoing is because of the silence and absolute refusal to discuss discordant things during Meetings orafterwards. People come and go in silence. I tell you it is a magnificent thing because, DearPeople, you have no idea, you do not perhaps think there is any harm in it; but if you—two or threepeople within the Group—start to discuss something unpleasant before your Group Meeting orafter it, you have allowed to intrude the quality of that element of your discussion into themagnificent Radiation drawn forth there to bless you. Don’t you see how absolutely mistaken it isto do it?

We want you, if you will, to be so absolutely concerned with your own Purification andPerfection that you won’t have an opinion about another person. (applause) And remember thepretense of the intellect does not amount to anything unless your feeling is true and sincere, DearPeople. Don’t go on trying to think you can smile with your face, while the feeling is not to do it.You are only deceiving yourselves, Precious People. We love you enough to tell you the Truth. Andas sure as you live, one day you will see your great, great mistake.

Dear People, why should you be concerned about another person when your whole activity is

the Service to Life for your own Freedom? And as long as you try to tear another person to pieces,you can be sure one day you yourself will be torn. “Let him who wishes to draw the lightning to hisbrother remember through his own soul and body will pass the bolt.” That is a quotation from TheLost Prince, but it is a mighty thing. Remember that, Precious Students.

You can become so wonderful because your Light is great; but don’t have any secret motives,don’t criticize or have an opinion about each other. Go on and on, and remember your ownrequirement is to cleanse, purify, and perfect yourself and your world so that you may pour forththat great Radiation and Blessing to all you contact. This is the only way. You cannot get anywhereuntil you do.

Beloved Ones, once when the Messenger yesterday touched upon the point about the time andthe energy that mankind had wasted even in this embodiment, I was present; and Beloved Ones,one tenth of the energy wasted during this embodiment, with the Understanding that is before youtoday, would have brought you into your complete Freedom. Think of it! One tenth the energy thatyou have used would have brought you into your Perfection. Now then, is it not time for us todetermine to silence the human that wants to say and do unkind things, so that we may keep thefeeling harmonious to let the Powers of the “Presence” do Its Perfecting Work in ourselves and ourWorld? That is why, Beloved Ones, the Ascended Master Youth of America today are grasping it.

The Messenger has had two or three letters recently wondering why sometimes the AscendedMaster Youth come into this Understanding and then turn aside. Are you strong enough to hear theTruth? Many times it is because they see the inharmonious example among the older people andthey think, “If that is what the ‘I AM’ is doing for them, how can I hope to succeed?” BelovedOnes, your responsibility to Life, to your associates, is more than you know.

I love you so tremendously that I am utilizing this opportunity, Beloved Ones, to put the Truthplain and unadulterated to you, because I tell you—now look before I go on at the magnificentrelease that has come to your city since the Messengers were here the first time, the removing ofthe communistic control, and all that thing which would have been the destruction of the city assure as the World!

And people who lean toward communism a little criticize the Messengers for referring tocommunism. Well, it means all the “isms” there are, because nazism and fascism and all thosekinds of things have come out of communism which originated in Russia. Now it is not a matter ofindividuals, but it is a matter of the conditions set into action by the black magicians who want todestroy America; and they found an opening in Russia. It might have been somewhere else, but ithappened it was there. They spread it all over South America and over every country in the Worldfor twelve or fifteen years before the outer manifestation began to find its expression.

Now, Beloved Ones, the whole inner motive is being exposed to the whole World. It is not amatter of individuals, but a matter of the quality that was acting through those individuals; and I cantell you that seventy-five percent of blessed, blessed mankind who have been drawn into that withthe promise and belief that they would come to have relief and release financially—that was thething which drew them into the clutches of that nefarious activity, depriving them and their familiesof food and shelter and the money that they required; and that is responsible for the unemploymenttoday in America.

Therefore, you as Students—oh, you do not see, Beloved Ones, that you cannot see! Howcould you see the inner motives of things and the conditions that are producing these outer results?You could not do it unless you saw with the All-Seeing Eye. Then, you could not know, but theGreat Ones know. And Precious People, won’t you let Them assist you when They do know thesegreat Inner Activities? If you will only believe Them, They will help you to see and know; and

from your Call to your “Presence” will come the full Understanding inside yourself of these Truthswhich the Messengers have given, and which Saint Germain has brought forth. Unless you do that,it is impossible to help you.

Now, in the nucleus you have here, with the determination you have had and with thatassistance that will be with you now after the close of this Class tomorrow—why, My Dear Ones,there is not anything you could not accomplish! If you will realize—as the Messenger has pouredforth so earnestly—in your Call comes forth the Power of Light that knows no opposition, not anyhuman, discordant thing. The human discord cannot fight the Light, don’t you see that? There is nobattle in the Call to the Powers of the “Presence” to come forth, dissolve and consume the humanqualities and conditions; there is no battle, but just the Power of Light.

This is just the same as when you turn the light on in this room when there is darkness and thedarkness disappears. It is exactly similar when you call forth the “Presence.” Its Currents of Lightand Energy pour forth into the human octave, and the same identical thing follows: the Lightdissolves those conditions and qualities. The Perfection of Life will be there if individuals willmake the Call and stand by it.

If these two precious boys (the two previously mentioned) will allow Me, I shall pour forthMy Currents of Energy through them and lift them to the Heights. (applause) And why do I saythat? Because there is nothing egotistical or dominating within their feeling world. Theirhumbleness to the “Presence” is the requirement, and if they will make the earnest, sincere Call inthe silence of their own chambers, then will they rise in the Power of the Light of their own“Presence.”

I am just using that as an example this morning to show you what every individual can have. Ifevery individual, every “I AM” Student in America today would be determined, earnest, andsincere about the Powers of Light, Someone would be sent to hold that Mighty Current steady,flowing in and through them until the Purification and Perfect Activity took place and the Lightexpanded and took Its Dominion in the feeling world of those individuals. And they would be apower of Divine Love and Divine Order and Divine Justice on this Earth, because there is onlyone place in the Universe you can call this forth from, Dear People, and that is your own “Mighty IAM Presence.”

Think how the attempt has been made to distort the magnificent laws of your land, which wereoriginally meant to hold the blessing of Divine Order and Divine Justice for mankind. YourConstitution—there has never been such a record made as that! And Dear Ones, when We sawthose individuals going out the other night, criticizing and condemning because they were asked tosalute that Flag, Dear People, it is individuals like that who spread treachery and discord amongmankind. A human being in America who refuses to honor that Flag should be removed at once.(applause) Why do I say that? Not to govern individuals, but because that Flag represents more tothe World than you will ever know. How often We have wished that all the people of Americamight suddenly see the Inner motive and what produced that American Flag!

Therefore, I want you to see and know how grateful We are, for your sake. We are Free,Beloved Ones, but when I see the Great Power of Divine Love, which the Messengers call forthdirect, pouring forth through Them to you, it is an unparalleled thing on the face of the Earth,because only as you know from the Inner standpoint the great need of America and Her peopletoday—and the time is comparatively short when this work must be finished, depending whollyupon the conditions that are released from mankind. I cannot tell you it will be so many days, somany weeks, so many months; but according to the Light released from individuals making the Callto the “Presence” is that and will that be governed.

I tell you there are certain things concerning this recent hurricane on the eastern coast—theLaw does not permit the explanation of it, but Dear Ones, remember mankind in a locality isresponsible either for making the Call for Protection or, by discord in their feeling, for releasingdestruction into their midst. Now the discord and vicious falsehood spread in Boston condemningthe Messengers and Their Work and the attempt to interfere with it, is what let that come to theeastern coast.

In San Francisco the gravest danger was threatening; and if the Messengers had not come tothe western coast when They did, San Francisco would not be what she is today. Now the peoplewho withdrew from this Light and became so vicious were responsible, because they made thisfocus for destructive forces. Dear People, when you feel discordant, for Heaven’s sake don’t dosomething that is going to affect a whole city. If you make yourself a focus for destructive forces,then you are responsible for what happens to that city where you are. That is why these blessedpeople—what a pity they cannot understand that because they feel discordant toward an individualand become a focus for such fierce, vicious feeling, they make the opening for destructive forces toact within that city.

The Messengers have tried to make clear to the individuals how important that was and how,when people become irritated and feel unkindly, they pay no attention to it. It is one thing withoutthis Understanding to respond to destructive forces, but a vastly different thing when theopportunity is before mankind in this Knowledge and then one willingly goes forth and creates ormakes himself or herself a focus for destructive forces. That is a far different thing, because whenonce mankind has had the opportunity to understand the Work which Saint Germain has broughtforth—so simple a child can understand—then when they willingly go on and do those things, thenthe responsibility is a thousand times greater.

Now I am explaining this so that you may all take your attention—Students, Group Leaders,and everybody else—off of every other person in your city. Call to the Presence of Light for yourown Purification and Perfection, in order to make each one of you a Focus of Light in your cityhere; and direct that Power of Light to hold It sustained for the continued perfecting of the city,because it can be made one of the most beautiful in America because it has the surroundings. Andreally, Beloved Inhabitants of Seattle, you do not quite realize how fortunate you are; there are nodirect gas belts under you (applause) that might give you undesirable aerial navigation. In thatrespect you are very fortunate.

Will every earnest, sincere Student here in Seattle, take a little slip of paper and put it up inyour room with the Mighty Astrea and the God of the Air’s Names written on it, that whenever youwalk into your room, you can see that and keep yourselves reminded that before you retire eachnight, call to those two Great Beings for Their Cleansing, Purifying, Perfecting Activity in yourcity, for the Protection of all aerial navigation and activity.

I am going to take the full responsibility for this which I am going to say to you. You haveseen the great perfecting activity in your transportation so far, your streamlined trains, and thecomfort and convenience aside from your aerial navigation. From Our standpoint, it will be acomparatively short time until you will find almost the whole of America as one spot because ofyour aerial navigation. And you will find your fresh vegetables taken from one part of America tothe other in a few hours. Let Me say that with the incoming Cosmic Light, when your middleman isremoved between your producer and consumer and the Divine Law is set for their service, thenyou will have removed the controller of your prices—and Divine Order and Divine Justice willreign among your producers and your consumers. Peace on Earth will reign forever among them.(applause)

The opportunity for distortion in your commission activity today is the thing that binds theproducer, and causes sometimes thousands of tons of fruit and vegetables to go to waste whenmankind should have the blessing of their use. When that is removed from your midst—and it willbe, I assure you—then will mankind have the great blessing. (applause)

And I say to you, Blessed Ascended Master Youth of America, you can do wonders—forinstance, take your Group right here in Seattle, the Ascended Master Youth who are giving suchmagnificent obedience to Life: when you issue your Decrees, will you take that up in your ownspecial activity and call for Divine Order and Divine Justice between these activities—theproducer and consumer. Call for Divine Justice and Divine Order to descend and take ItsCommand, remove all obstruction there forever, let the people who produce have what belongs tothem, and let the consumer have the blessing; then all will have the right compensation for theirefforts in every way. That shall be done, and I shall never rest until that condition exists in yourAmerica. (applause) And remember, I do not have to stop to eat or sleep. (applause)

Is it not wonderful to be able to gather the Essence of Life as you go along? (applause) I amspeaking now about outside of your own Source of Life. My Dear People, do you realize that theatmosphere which you are breathing in every moment has such great Perfection in it, that if youwere to call the full power of your Selective Intelligence into action, you would breathe in the FireBreath of God, the “Mighty I AM”—and Perfection would be in your bodies.

Now do not go off on to some breathing tangent, but remember the natural breath. Thatreminds Me, Dear People—and you have a lot of it here—call for the dissolving of all numerologyand astrology in your land. Dear People, it is a most misleading thing. Don’t do it. As if a numberhad any power in the Presence of your Great God Presence, the “Mighty I AM”! As if a Planet hadanything to do with you, the God Being that governs the Universe! Don’t yield to those things,Beloved Students.

And remember what Saint Germain said: astrology is responsible for more indirect murdersthan any one thing in America today. Now remember, Dear People, why do people cling to thosethings? Because they think it brings food and shelter to them—when if they were to stand and callto their own God Presence, the “Mighty I AM,” which is the Treasure-house of their world, theywould have such abundance of money and everything else in their use that they would not have totry to use those things which bring tragedy to mankind.

Now Dear People, you in Seattle here need to be on guard over this more than any place,perhaps, in America. Astrology puts the suggestion into mankind of limitations—that there issomething outside of you that is more powerful than the Life within you. This is the greatestfalsehood ever uttered, and the person who claims that a number can affect you is uttering anothergreat falsehood.

Beloved Students, in the Name of your “I AM Presence” do not yield to those things if youwant to be free. The Messengers have said very little about these things in the recent monthsbecause so much else is required, but you here in Seattle must be protected against these things.

I ask you, Beloved Students, just one thing. Take your Chart and look at It; and then decide ifthere is any Planet in the Universe, any number that is mankind’s own creation, that can affect thatPower of Infinite Light. You know it cannot. So don’t succumb to human suggestions that say thereis something outside. That is why the Messengers have said to you that spiritualism, astrology,numerology, or anything that draws your attention to the outside thing as having power to limit yourworld is a tragedy for mankind. Therefore if you yield to it, the responsibility is yours.

I do not say what you should do, but I am telling you the Truth of Life. If you believe for oneinstant that your “Mighty I AM Presence” is there above you as the Messengers and the Chart have

described to you, then you know astrology, numerology, and spiritualism are not true; that they arehuman creation brought about by the black magicians to limit and hold mankind in bondage.

Now if you want to go on doing that, you are Beings of Free Will; but I have fulfilled My partof Life to you in telling you the Truth, which I know absolutely to be. Did you ever in your lifeknow of an activity—ever on Earth in your experience—when the teacher, the messenger, orwhoever it might be, asked people not to come if they could not be harmonious to the Truth of Life?People reach out and try to claw students to them. It is reversing the activity. Human beings mustbe given freedom even though they intentionally go on and make mistakes; sometimes the fiercerthe mistakes, the sooner they will turn and come back to the Presence of Life.

Now I ask you, Beloved Students—and why do you suppose the Messenger has asked everyearnest Student to never sleep at night until they have contemplated that Chart? For the very reasonthat It keeps the information, the truth, the vision before them that there is no power in the Earth thatcan govern them but their Presence of Life. Therefore all outer things that mankind has givenpower to, will have no power in the acknowledgment of their “Presence”—except the Perfectionwhich It is. And that is what mankind needs today, because the habit of human creation has mademankind believe everything else but the Power of the “Presence,” the Power and Presence of Life.Therefore, they are in the conditions today because of that; and if you want to be free, you have tochange it—you have to reverse it.

Therefore, I say to you, Beloved Ones, in all Our Great Love for you, if you care to listen toUs and give response, then you will be free; but you cannot do it if you go on asserting your ownopinions and desires, believing We do not know.

Do you remember, Beloved Ones—you whose Hearts are great—in your childhood how oftenyour parents pled with you not to do certain things, and you went on and did them and paid thepenalty of discord and unhappiness through the lack of obedience? The Great Goddess of Liberty,who is your Cosmic Mother of America, is offering you that same thing today. She says: “MyChildren, My Great Mother Love enfolds you in your loyalty to America, in your obedience toLife. Won’t you give that obedience and have the Blessing and the Perfection of Life which Life somuch wants to give you?” But you must be left free, quite free to choose.

I want you to feel, for I must soon stop—just let us be still for a few moments and allow theGreat Goddess of Liberty to pour into your feeling world Her Blessing as the Cosmic Mother. Andwill you—no matter the number of years over your head—feel as a humble, obedient child beforeHer Great Presence, and let Her fold Her Arms of Light about you and hold you forever in HerMighty Radiance. (silence) Thank you so much.

My Dear Ones, My Heart bursts with joy; for Gentlemen, I congratulate you in your ability toaccept that as you did just now. You were actually humble as a child, and may that feeling foreverexpand and bless you with its mighty activity in the Presence of the Cosmic Mother, the Goddess ofLiberty.

I want our Ascended Master Youth of America to know how great Our Love and Blessing is;and as you continue your work here, your marvelous Group work, We will try to find means tobless you more and more in your Call to Light and Life, to the “Mighty I AM.” And in your earnestsincerity the Heavens of Life’s Perfection must open to you and flood you and your world withTheir Perfection. I urge you, Beloved Ascended Master Youth, do not let human opinions oranything intrude to mar the harmony, the great Perfection, and the quiet which you have at this timeand have had in your activity. Just in that great humbleness to the “Presence” and that greatobedience of each of you to Life, let the Great Wisdom of the “Presence” hold that mightyHarmony so that you may be the Mighty Focus of Light for Seattle and its future.

Group Leaders of Seattle, try to feel your responsibility. Don’t have an unkind feeling toanother individual, but just go on knowing that Life is watching you, your every move. And to thedegree that you pour forth Divine Love and Blessings to all, will you find in return Its MightyEnfolding Presence will bless you. Remember, the individual whose motive is wrong—whetherthat one is a Student or Group Leader—will one day find himself or herself outside the Glory ofthe Light of the “Mighty I AM.” Do not deceive yourself; the great Law of Life makes no mistakes,is no respecter of persons, places, or conditions—but the Law of Life acts according to what isacting in your feeling world. There is no escape. All the calling, all the decreeing won’t change itunless you change the motive in your feeling. Therefore, the motive with intense feeling that is heldwithin your feeling world is the decreer of what is going to act there. So I say to you in all Loveand Kindness, turn to your Presence of Life and ask It to so cleanse and purify you, so govern andhold self-control in your feeling world that only love and kindness pour forth to bless everywhereyou move. And then how quickly you will find that the whole force of Life and Its Light will findaction through you and in your world; and you will know then what it means to pour forth DivineLove and Blessings to all wherever you move.

Ascended Master Youth of America, We pour forth Our Love and Blessings to you withoutlimit, and in your great loving response may the Power of Light hold Its Mighty Focus until yourlives become filled with the Perfection of Life and the Limitless Power of Its Radiation andBlessing to all mankind wherever you move without limit.

I thank you and bless you forever.

DISCOURSE VIII

October 8, 1938CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

Beloved Students of Chicago and Beloved Ascended Master Youth of Chicago andelsewhere, will you believe it when I say to you that I am just as happy as you are? (applause)

You don’t quite yet understand, Beloved Ones and Ascended Master Youth, what thishomecoming of the Messengers means to the entire World. From the time the Messenger left Us inIndia in Chananda’s Home where Our Great Freedom came—from that day to this, seeing from theOctave of Light all that had been going on in the minds and feeling world of mankind, I wasperhaps one of the most determined, outside of Beloved Saint Germain, to see the victorious returnof the Messengers to Chicago (applause); and it has arrived. Furthermore, it is established and, ifMy observation be correct, for a long time! (applause)

Since we are one family in private Dictations, you may not know it, Beloved Ones, but this isthe last barrier (applause—audience rising) that has gone down before the Powers of Light. It is amagnificent Achievement—oh, not just for you, not just for Chicago, but for all that that means toAmerica.

In all that you meet in the outer world, Beloved Ones, please remember you are really notdealing with individuals or personalities, you are dealing with a force; and whatever is less thanPerfection is a force acting, Beloved Ones. It is not always intelligent, but it is a force qualifiedthat is acting through the accumulation of human discord. But you must remember, BelovedStudents of the Light, that in everything which confronts you, the first thought and feeling thatshould arise from within you should be, “That appearance has no power!” (applause)

Why do I urge you so intensely about this? Because if you saw the activity of the energywhich you release that stops that thing instantly where it is—and then as you call the Power ofLight forth to dissolve and consume it, you have stopped its action and made it helpless—so tospeak—while the Power of Light seizes it, and it is no more.

That is why I say to you, Beloved Ones, as you come to understand this Great Law more andmore, you will see how there are just a few definite activities that, asserted with dynamic power inthe acceptance of your “Presence,” stop everything in the human octave of discord, and make ithelpless until the Powers of Light take it away. This is as definite as when you hold a substancebefore you and turn upon it the flame of a blowtorch and it is consumed. It is just as tangible andmore powerful than your blowtorch which consumes almost instantly, because you must understandmore firmly than ever that all discordant forces have no power except that with which they werecharged by human qualities.

Therefore, the Power of Light is a thousand times more powerful than human accumulation ofany kind. That is what I want you to understand if you will, Beloved Ones; and you will have nodifficulty in handling the conditions that confront you. Those conditions that you have had in thepast have really no power except when you feed your attention, when you feed your own Life intothe appearance to come back and so-called harm you.

My Dear Ones, I tell you that this one point, if you really comprehend it, will set you freepositively. An appearance in the outer world cannot touch you, cannot reach you except when byyour attention you feed your own life current of energy into it. Do you not see that? There is not athing in the outer world of discord that could reach you except if it got your attention and held itlong enough for your current of life energy to flow into it. It comes right back because the power of

your attention is the authority of your world.Therefore, when the Messengers plead with the Students throughout America to keep your

attention off discordant things, it does not mean you do not know about them; you must see what isto be done in order to correct it, but that does not mean you allow your attention to feed into a thinguntil it begins to feed back to you again. That is so important to you. And Beloved Ascended[Master] Youth of America, you who are the Torchbearers of the future, if you understand thesimplicity of these few fundamentals, you will make yourselves a Power of Light, and nodiscordant force will be able to touch you ever.

Remember, Beloved Ones, first the communistic element from Russia that spread itspoisonous breath everywhere throughout our colleges and institutions of learning, and at one timewas almost gaining its victory, today has no power! (applause) It has no power among ourAscended Master Youth and the rest of the youth of America. Rex, Nada, Pearl, and Myself, andthe Great Host who have joined Us in the Assistance of the Ascended Master Youth of America,will wipe it out! (applause—audience rising)

Beloved Students, remember your great privilege in wielding the Scepter, the Sword of BlueFlame, which you have in your Mighty Decrees in the calling forth of Perfection. That is as definiteas if you took in your physical hand a Sword of Blue Flame and directed It to dissolve alldiscordant conditions. These Decrees are the mightiest thing in the world that mankind can use—and all mankind can use It; there are none that cannot where they are calling to the “Presence” torelease the Infinite Power of Light. Even a little child can do this, and does do it with InfinitePower of Action. Therefore, as you dissolve the discord that has been accumulated around you,and you stand forth in the Full Feeling of the Victory of your Life and your Call to It to release ItsPower, then you will have found your Freedom forever.

I say to you, Beloved Ascended Master Youth of America and Friends, it is not as if this werebut an activity of this lifetime, but It will do for you in this lifetime what nothing else could in theWorld, and It is Eternal in Its action—please understand that. Whatever inch or foot you gain in theacknowledgment of your “Presence” in setting yourself free, holds forever sustained in Its MightyActivity until you gain further. (applause) Therefore, you cannot slip back in anything you havecalled forth into action by acknowledgment of your “Presence.” It stands there, the Victory thus faruntil you gain another step.

Therefore, Beloved Ones, I say to you one of the mightiest things in the entire Work to Me isthat those who care to decree for their Ascension in this embodiment—if for any reason they didnot free themselves and accomplish It in this embodiment—would find that mighty impelling,compelling Force of that mighty desire and Decree would compel It to take place in the nextembodiment early in life. You are dealing with the Infinite Power of Light, Its Eternal Activitysetting you steadily and surely Free as nothing in the World can but your acknowledgment of thePresence of Life, the “Mighty I AM.”

Therefore, I say to you beloved people, there is nothing in the World that should everdiscourage you. Suppose your Application has not produced all you would desire. Good Heavens,you were centuries and centuries accumulating it; and when you are being set free in a few monthsor a few years at most, is there anyone who would not have the courage to go on until the FinalVictory arrives? Think of it!—your Messengers, standing before you, in four years have setThemselves Free from every accumulation, and stand forth ready for the Ascension at any time.(applause)

Now pardon Me if I digress just a moment and refer back to the beginning when I started totell you why the last barrier has gone down in the so-called seeming opposition to this Work. The

Examiner reporters who came to the Messengers last night and were permitted to take Theirpictures, and the article in the paper this morning which many of you have seen—while it is not thecorrect understanding quite, yet it is kindly; and it is only the forerunner of what the newspaperswill do for the “I AM” in the future. I ask you to watch it! (applause) And let Me tell you, BelovedStudents, for you ought to know it: in all the criticism and condemnation of Hearst, he is one of themost loyal, staunch defenders of the loyalty to America (applause); and one day his papers willstand back of the Messengers with all the truth that there is. (applause) He sees and knows aboutthe loyalty of the Messengers to America and Their mighty defense of America! (applause)

You observe how absolutely fearlessly They have gone forth in the face of everything. Whenin Seattle, Beloved Ones, They put forth to the public the mighty Truth about the fiendish dope thathas been spread over America; and those people, if they had dared, would have annihilated Themthere. But They are fearless and those people know they are dealing with a Power of Light,although they do not understand it. So do all destructive forces in this Universe know they aredealing with the Power of Light—the Ascended Masters, with whom they cannot cope! (applause)

Let Me tell you, Beloved Students of Chicago and elsewhere, some of the moving picturesthat have come forth are a magnificent example of what awakened mankind will do in putting downall destructive activities. That moving picture “I Am the Law” is the most perfect, magnificentthing showing how mankind, arising in their fearlessness, put down the racketeers and destroyedthem. And there are others. Remind yourselves, Dear Ones, quite often, that the Power of Lighttaking Its Dominion on Earth will one day change everything and bring the moving pictures intothat for which they were intended. (applause)

Remember that the desire of humanity is the thing that rules the World; and when enough of theAmerican people begin to make the Call for the perfect pictures to come forth as mighty instructionto mankind, then the demand of the people will compel the producers to produce those magnificentthings like Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence, that will reveal to the World the Octavesof Light and hold that Dominion forever. (applause)

Therefore, I say to you, Beloved Students, be fearless before mankind. You have nothing to beashamed of in your Understanding of the Mighty Laws of Life, the “Mighty I AM.” Do not be afraidthat your Power of Light cannot silence all destructive forces about you—It can! So call It forthwith determination, and let It do it that you may stand Free.

Beloved Ones, I cannot help it when I come into your midst like this, I am so vividlyreminded that it is only just a few years since Nada and I and Pearl and Rex stood in limitedbodies like yours. Good Heavens, Dear People, we did not know anymore than you this morningthat such a possibility as our Freedom in the Ascension was possible. Even when we went toIndia, still in the outer activity of the mind and feeling we could not conceive how such a thing waspossible. So why not give the Powers of your Life, your “Presence” that is Limitless, the FullPower of Its Activity in and through your physical body, and see what It will do for you? Who ofyou can say to Me today what your Presence of Life could do through you at any given moment?

Don’t you see it is impossible for your outer physical body to know what the Powers of Lightacting in and through you could do at any given time? It is impossible. You cannot possibly know.Only the Ascended Masters who have gained that Freedom can possibly know what the “Presence”can do! Therefore I say to you, be of good courage and strength in your Call to Life, for you aresteadily and surely forging ahead; and after dissolving and consuming every particle of youraccumulation, then one day when you stand forth in a little greater Victory than at the present, youwill feel the Glory and Power of the “Presence” flow into action. Then as you see everythingharmonize as you move forward, you will see the Power of Light acting through your glorious

Presence, the “Mighty I AM.”I ask you, Beloved Ones, observe! Oh Dear People, for God’s sake don’t let anything in the

outer world cause you to think that We are not real. We lived in Wyoming and I was a miningengineer, a lad out of college. We went in our physical bodies to Europe and India and in so short atime were Free, and yet not one of the Students yet can say what the last chapter of The MagicPresence means. Don’t be discouraged; you will, all of a sudden. I insist on it. Let Me give youjust a tip. Those words there that state We were given bodies such as have never been known in theouter world—read that line and get its Inner meaning.

That is why I say to you, not one of you has the slightest concept of what your Power of Life,the “Mighty I AM” could do for you at any given moment. And behold, when this Good Messengermet David Lloyd on the side of Mount Shasta—and do not get any idea it is not real—He had nomore idea of the Service about to be rendered there than you—such a thing was beyondimagination. But look! When the humbleness is there, when the willingness is there to allow thePowers of Light to act, then will the Presence of Life do for you what the imagination could noteven conceive of one moment before.

These experiences recorded in Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence are real, DearPeople! They are no figment of imagination! Everything there is real, the Mighty Truth of Life. Andwhen you understand that and gain the full meaning of that, then will you understand and have aPower acting within you, you never dreamt was there.

Therefore, I say to you beloved Students of Chicago, My rejoicing is equal to yours in thegreat Call to the Ascended Master Friends that have been raised up here in your city to clear awayevery seeming outer obstruction—while there really never was any, yet the appearance world hadto be met and had to see that it had no power. (applause) (Betty, be sure you get those wordsexact.)

Therefore, Beloved Ones, you stand in the open doorway to the Victory of Life. Enter in asWe did, into that Cave of Light whose Blazing Presence dissolves forever every human elementabout you. And think, today and for some months the Mighty Divine Director in releasing theGolden Liquid Light into your feeling world has been performing for you a Service. While it hasbeen a little less than that which acted within Us when We entered the Cave of Light in India, yet inthe outer world He is bringing It to you in the happiness and comfort of your own home and theMighty Radiance of these Classes. Oh, please understand and feel what that means to you. It is realSubstance, Dear Ones; it is not a thing of imagination. Don’t think that your imagination is workingovertime in accepting this Mighty Truth of Life. It is real, the realest thing in the Universe! Andtherefore I say to you Ascended Master Youth: Straighten your spines and let Us help you to holdthe Victory of Life sustained, until by your own Application you feel Its Full Victory and Dominionacting within you.

So many people have wondered about Us, have wondered about Mr. Rayborn. How is it thathe could make the Ascension when he had a ranch of thousands of cattle, and a mine employinghundreds of people—again the human trying to be the judge. If you will put down human judgmentand let the Power of your Light through you explain the Truth of Life, you won’t stop to wonderwhy things are thus and so.

But I say to you, Beloved People, live as the Messengers have told you. We never condemnnor criticize you. When you are ready to face about and say to your Life: “ ‘Mighty I AMPresence,’ I call on the Law of Forgiveness for all my mistakes. I want to correct them. You takecommand now and stop all this silly nonsense, and carry me forward in the Victory of YourLight”—what do you think the Presence of Life would do when It has waited for you throughout the

centuries to issue that mighty Edict of your own Life for your own Freedom?That is why I say, do not try to let your outer human concepts judge what could be done for

you. Please do not do it, but go on in your Mighty Adoration or Call to your “Presence” to pour ItsMighty Perfection and Dominion in and through you, and then be patient. There is not any two ofyou just alike in your feeling world in this room today. The old statement that no two people arealike is quite true, and even your accumulation is not the same. No two people are alike. No twopeople have the same requirements. Therefore, do not think you have to do what someone elsedoes, but forget everything else except the Glory of your Mighty “Presence” and Its Mighty PerfectAction through you. Then Its Radiance will pour forth to give such a Blessing to those you contact,you could not imagine it. Then you are allowing the Powers of Life—Perfection—to act untouchedby your qualification, your judgment, or your human concepts of what It should do.

Oh, who of you can advise Life? Don’t you see, Beloved Ones? How could you hope in yourintellect to advise Life as to what It should do? Call Its Perfection into action and let It do for youwhat It will, and what It can do—and beyond your fondest concepts.

Therefore I say to you, Beloved Ones, in the fullness of all you wish to have, all Life wants togive you, can you ever conceive of anything more gracious, more glorious in the World than theSource of Life that never condemns a human being—never says, “I told you so”? The AscendedMasters never condemn, never criticize, seeing all the mistakes of mankind which They arecompelled to look upon; yet never once have They said or felt one critical thought or feelingtoward any of mankind—that belongs to the human octave.

I say to you beloved Ones of Chicago—to all the Students of Chicago as well as theAscended Master Youth—until you refuse to have a thought or feeling about your fellow Studentsof anything but love and kindness, you are obstructed by your own feeling. You cannot afford tohave any unkind feeling about a person, place, or condition if you want to go forward quickly intothe Light.

Above all, I stand amazed when some of the blessed, loyal Students sometimes feel criticaltoward the Messengers because the Messengers are so firm in holding to what They know to beright and the greatest Blessing to the people. How can they feel critical toward these BelovedMessengers who are giving all, and remaining on the Earth and giving the Blessing and theFreedom to mankind? They know what is required and They are firm and unyielding—it doesn’tmake any difference who it is. Therefore, Beloved Ones, love Them! Bless Them as you never didin your Life, for all mankind. (applause)

Do you not see, Beloved Ones? In this glorious atmosphere let Me try to convey to you how itis not ever in the World a person, place, or condition; it is a quality of energy acting with whichevery one of mankind has to deal. And as long as you blame some person for something, you arequalifying your own energy with that discord or imperfection which you see in the otherindividual, which must outpicture through your own flesh. In the Name of God, your “Mighty I AMPresence,” I charge every one of you to see that point and the necessity of standing guard over yourfeelings!

You have heard so often—I mean those who have been more often with the Messengers haveheard—the Messengers pleading with the Students everywhere to govern their feelings and forgetother individuals. It is so important, Beloved Ones. And if you would only realize that you aredealing with qualified energy, you would not have the slightest feeling toward any human being,because you would know what they do is their own affair and what you feel is yours. Unless youcorrect your feeling, you will never in the world have your Freedom!

Dear Ones, you are very kind to stand all this time, but during that time you have been

receiving a Mighty Blessing which I am not permitted to explain at this time. Won’t you be seated.Beloved Ones, I want you to realize, if you will, what it means—I know, I went through the

experience too—when you are working, so-called; and not understanding the Law especially, youget tired and exhausted and your physical body slumps. Do you know what that does? Instead ofresting you, it makes you more tired than ever, because it causes a pressure and shuts off the flowin your circulation and the nerve fluid through your body. One day every “I AM” Student in theWorld will no more allow their spine to slump than anything in the world. The minute you do that,you tighten every vertebra and shut off the full flow of the nerve fluid through your body andthrough the ganglia or centers of distribution within your physical body.

Dear Ones, one day you will learn to stand straight and feel the full flow. It does not make anydifference how tired you are; when you have done that enough, you will find you have forgotten tobe tired. And in the Call to the “Presence” with the spine straight, this energy will flow throughundisturbed. Then you will think of your activity as a Service to the Light—as a Service and notwork. Mankind has charged the word “work” with all kinds of exhaustion. It is not true. Thatwhich you have called work is a Service to Life; and once you dismiss from your mind the idea ofwork, the feeling of work, then the Powers of Life will flow forth and renew you constantly, andyou will never feel that exhaustion.

Just think, the Messengers for four years have not known what it is to stop. They do not knowwhat it is to be exhausted. Your Precious Lotus more than two thirds of the time does not sleepmore than two hours a night—because She loves you, because She loves the Students. She loveshumanity and puts forth the utmost of Her ability to give to you that which will bless you the most.(applause—audience rising) Great as is your love for Her and the love of all the Students ofAmerica and the World, you do not yet comprehend, Precious, Precious Ones, all that yourPrecious Lotus means to you. Her dauntless, Invincible Application is the most magnificent thingWe have ever witnessed in the World. And it is ceaseless. It never stops! (applause)

Dear Ones, wherever you go and whatever you meet, put down as a poisonous serpent beforeyou any vicious, unkind gossip toward these Messengers and the Light. (applause) Say to anyindividual that starts to pour that into your ears, “Silence that gossip right now!” (applause) That isthe only way you will ever stop that vicious human thing. When individuals are depraved enoughthat they don’t want to give the obedience to Life, then they try to drag you away from your Idealsby trying to discourage you in the Light. You would not let a serpent creep up and strike you withits poisonous venom if you knew it, would you? Yet when individuals come up to you and spreadvicious gossip about individuals—whether it is about the Messengers or someone else—in yourthoughts, that is worse than the poison of a serpent. That only goes into your body; but this goesinto your feeling world, and you do not know it. That is why you should keep out of your world allvicious gossip of every kind and annihilate it, and then be Free!

There has never been anything on this Earth that has come forth one-hundredth part somagnificently as this Light, which is the Freedom of all mankind who will accept Its Freedom,study and apply It.

Therefore, Beloved Ones, I say this at this time—I presume it will be taken up in the Class,but the Mighty Astrea, the Archangel Michael, and the Mighty Divine Director are rendering aService and will render one during the remainder of this Class in Chicago, even beyond that whichwas done in Seattle. (applause) Chicago will now become the real Heart Atom of Light where itbegan. (applause) And you of Chicago, go forth blazing the Mighty Light of your “Presence”—notso much in what you say, but in the mighty determination that the Powers of your Light shall flowforth in the Radiance of your bodies and take command of the feeling world and activity about you;

and hold yourselves harmonious and obedient to the Powers of Life.Beloved Ones, My Love and Gratitude is very great for this opportunity to talk to you today,

and for the Service that has been rendered. I am very grateful for it. And may you, ere many days,realize and feel the full import of what has been done for you in this room today.

Therefore, on behalf of the other Children, Myself, the Great Ascended Masters, the Legion ofLight, the Great Cosmic Beings, and the Great Cosmic Light so recently releasing Its MightyBlessings—Their Mighty Blessings enfold you in an Intensification and Powerful Activity,intensifying your Calls for Freedom, your Calls for Perfection, to take greater command in yourlife and feeling world now, and pour out Its Mighty Activity into your world of action to hold youwithin the Glory of Its Radiance and Harmony, and bring Its Mighty Blessings into full action inyour life, world, and activity wherever you move.

I thank and bless you forever. (applause)

DISCOURSE IX

November 19, 1938TENAFLY, NEW JERSEY

Beloved Ones, what a joy it is to be present with you, giving forth the Radiation which Wealways do at these times, and to enfold these Beloved Children in that Radiance. The DivineDirector will by His Projection of the Light Rays project that Liquid, Golden Substance into theirfeeling world which should within three years bring such Perfection into their Life and activity,such courage and strength that will make each one the Dominion of the Light through the outpouringof Divine Love and Kindliness.

While it is absolutely necessary to be tremendously positive to human qualities, yet alwaysremain humble before your Presence of Life and before the Ascended Masters. They are the onlyOnes who know what Perfection is, because until you have experienced It, you cannot possiblyknow. One may discuss It, one may think of It, one may even vision certain activities of Perfection;but until you are there, have tasted the glory of It, you cannot possibly know in the human octavejust all the Perfection of Life means.

But since you are ready to accept the Ascended Masters’ Radiance, the Ascended Masters’Substance, the Ascended Masters’ Direction for your assistance, then you have placed yourattention upon the right Activity, upon the right Source that will one day bring Its ever-increasingPerfection into your world of action, all that your Heart has desired.

Have a motto, maybe several in your schoolrooms to keep the children reminded that themotive acting in the feeling, or in other words the attitude of the feeling acting within theindividual, is the decreer of how the energy of Life is going to act for that one. If the motive andattitude be right, Life will charge the quality of Perfection into the energy going forth from thatindividual, which is an ever-increasing activity.

Beloved Children, remember that as you hold the right motive in your feeling world, Life,being by far more powerful than any human quality, will take command. It will keep charging andbuilding into your feeling world this Dominion of the “Mighty I AM Presence” and the Light whichevery human being in his Heart really wants. The human desire is an activity of the human intellect—and when I say the “human intellect,” I mean the brain activity.

I presume you have not had explained just what is taking place when reference is made to thehuman intellect. I want you to get a clear idea of it. There is a force field in the structure of thebrain, just the same as in the cells of the body. While it is somewhat different in the brain than it isin the cells of the body, yet a similar condition is acting. There is a force field in the brain which ischarged with human qualities—the same as that surrounding the Points of Light within the cells ofthe body. The force field comprises what you term the human intellect. It is a gathered force whichis qualified energy acting through the brain structure of the individual. It has been qualified by thereports of the appearance world which has not taken into consideration the Source of itself. It hasaccepted from the outside world the qualities of human conditions—all of which are more or lessdistressing, and all are limiting.

When you give your attention to the Presence of Life, your “Mighty I AM ,” you are causing tobe held in abeyance these human qualities of the force field within the body and within the brainstructure. As you do that, call forth Perfection through your attention to the “Presence,” and thendirectly to the expansion of the Points of Light within the cells of your body. You will find a trinityof action taking place which brings the results so much more quickly within the entire human form,

the intellect, and the feeling world of the individual.Try not to feel that this is abstruse. These are things which need to be understood in the

School. You are dealing with a direct Current of Light. As you give attention to your “Mighty I AMPresence” above you which beats your Heart, you will have more and more of Its Perfection. Tothe degree that you silence and hold in abeyance the human desires will your Perfection come forthmore quickly.

Let us enumerate a few human desires so you get the idea clearly. For instance, any kind ofdiscord, criticism, condemnation, or having an opinion about others is the thing that starts a feelingrevolving within you, which after a while builds into a habit or becomes temporarily a dominantaction in your Life. If you will give your attention to the “Mighty I AM Presence,” givingobedience to Life—which is harmony within your feelings—the Points of Light within the brainexpand. Then, as the “Presence” pours forth this greater Intensity of Light, there naturally comesthe expansion of the Light within your brain and body. In this way, the force field which has beencharged with human discord is dissolved.

Since the atomic pressure of the human discord of Earth is so tremendous, one has to be veryfirm in holding the human desires inactive until the time when the substance within the atmosphereof Earth is dissolved and consumed by the Great Beings of Light. This time is coming very near.After the substance within the atmosphere of Earth is consumed, dissolved—cause, effect, andrecord—then you will find it is just like a great shadowy garment has been dissolved and you arereleased from it. It will be almost like you stepped out from a shadowy world into one of brilliantsunshine.

Humanity is struggling under this garment, the shadowy garment of its own creation; and youwho are Students today are the most fortunate of beings since you have begun to learn how to callthe “Mighty I AM Presence” into action to dissolve and consume the accumulation of your own,and hold in abeyance that of others whom you might contact. Then you will find a happinessimpossible in any other way, a courage and confidence in your endeavor, which holds you sosteady.

As Mr. Rayborn so ably stated, each individual then becomes, through the Power of his“Presence,” like an instrument of great hydraulic pressure. If you children do not understand that,let Me explain in a few words that hydraulic pressure is a tremendous force of water going througha great hose which forces water upon a given point. That pressure is sufficient in western mining tobreak down the side of a mountain, even to release great boulders weighing tons.

This is the pressure of the Light in the “Presence” through Its Currents of Energy which goforth at your Call and become a great hydraulic pressure from your Heart into your world ofaction, dissolving and consuming all discord or similar obstructions and releasing the pure gold ofLife into your world. You see We love to use those terms since I was a mining engineer, and sincewe in those days before our Freedom were living in the world of mining activity. How marvelousand apropos it is to compare many of the activities that we use in the physical world to the higherActivity of Life which is a consciously directed Power of the Light Rays—as powerful as thehydraulic pressure of water against the side of a mountain. And when you understand that you canrelease from your “Presence” this Ray of Light focused with Its mighty Power as definitely as ahydraulic pressure to enter your world, go before you, and clear from your pathway every humanquality, every seeming obstruction from any source whatsoever—then you are dealing with aPower of Life that knows no obstruction in any way.

To the degree you are conscious of this and consciously call It into action definitely with firmdetermination will you find that Activity going forth into your world before you, making easy your

studies, clearing your world, and gaining a momentum so that when you go into the world of actionas an individual governing your own life and world, then will you feel a confidence, a power, andan authority of the Presence of Life which will give you the Mastery over, above, and upon all thatyou choose to fix your attention on as a Service to Life.

Therefore, your opportunity, Beloved Children and Beloved Friends, is the greatest in all theembodiments in which you have lived. You must all know that there have been many, and in somany lives there has been so much that needs to be dissolved and consumed.

Now at this point let Me remind you, Beloved Children, that all that is accomplished throughyour Call to the “Presence” becomes an eternally, forever sustained achievement—accomplishment—and never has to be redone. Therefore, you are engaged in the activity of thedissolving and consuming cause, effect, and record of whatever the accumulation of the past hasbeen.

No one place in the activity of Life throughout the Earth has this conscious activity of theaction of Life ever been brought to mankind. It has been possible for certain feeling to dissolvecertain qualities, but they would not remain so because other causes were set into action. Todaywhen the cause, effect, and record of the thing that has been disturbing is removed, it means that isremoved from your Life forever. It will not again act in your Life because you have removed thecause. Then the feeling world cannot grasp upon anything to again set the same cause into motion.

I say to you as grown beings, do you realize today what a tremendous thing that means in yourlives? And I think you are going to feel while I am talking to you this morning, the absolutenecessity and perhaps a little clearer reason why the Violet Consuming Flame is absolutelyimperative in your life—because It does dissolve at your Command, cause, effect, and record ofeverything that has been your own creation, everything that has been projected in your world. Nowdo you not see if you will call the “Presence” to use the Violet Consuming Flame with greatintensity, It cannot harm you in any way. It will dissolve the discordant records.

Therefore, within two years it has been made possible to have all this—cause, effect, andrecord—dissolved. Then you are clearing forever from your pathway every particle of obstructionthat you have accumulated through the centuries—cause, effect, and record. I cannot impress thattoo strongly upon your mind! You must be conscious that all cause, effect, and record is dissolvedand consumed; then you are forever free of all that quality. And again let Me repeat that since youhave been freed from the record, the feeling cannot reach out and take hold and reestablishanything of that same quality. It is a powerful, definite action, Beloved Ones.

In establishing your school activity here, if you in charge, the teachers, and all the childrenwill issue that Decree twice or three times a day—it only takes a moment—to have the Power ofthe Violet Consuming Flame—and remember it is the “Presence” you are calling into action to doit—dissolve cause, effect, and record of every discordant thing that you have ever drawn aboutyou in all the past, then you have set the Power of Light into action to perform that service. Call Itto be sustained with all Its great intensity until every particle of It is achieved. Then as you fromday to day issue your other Decrees for whatever you might desire to have act, then you will findthat calls into action the necessary intensity for not only the outer activity, but for keeping thisrecord aflame with Its mighty Activity, Presence, and Power.

We see so clearly the greater necessity; and for the next few months or possibly a year and ahalf, the Group Leaders, the Students, and the Schools must be firm as the Rock of Gibraltar to theLight and refuse to accept any appearances. And I say to you, Beloved Ada, have no fear of thiscondition which has been threatening. It is all a bluff, it has no power; and as you issue that MightyDecree with its Invincible Power, that human thing must be silenced forever. But you must be firm,

Blessed Students, against human viciousness. It does not make any difference what the source is,what the reason for it is, be so firm in knowing it has no power! Just like you threw a bomb ofLight into that thing, it dissolves—and if necessary, dissolves all human viciousness. It is muchbetter that they be released from the body than to continue to build such viciousness.

Beloved Ones, I say to you of the School here, hold that Mighty Power by your Call and byyour visualization, that Circle of Blue Flame around your grounds and around your school to keepdissolved any wrong sex desire that might attempt to be projected into your midst. The last throesof the black magicians are forcing that feeling throughout America, and the number of people thatare being beset by that wrong, abnormal desire is astonishing; so I warn you today, you must bestrong and on guard against it until this substance is dissolved and consumed from the Earth. Thenmankind will have relief naturally and easily from this abnormal desire, but until that time it isimperative to be dynamic against it.

I want to make clear to you here today that marriage in its proper order is a Divine Activity ofLife under the present conditions that exist; but if it is not entered into with pure desires, itbecomes an activity of the destructive forces which ofttimes try to shut off the Light of individuals.During the recent Class in Chicago, a boy and girl were married, and no sooner were they marriedthan he went off to Canada feeling no responsibility to his wife or anything like that. Now that kindof condition is a sinister thing projected at those blessed individuals; and unless dynamic action istaken to prevent that kind of thing among our young people of the “I AM” throughout America, onetragedy after another will occur.

Now I tell you, the grown-ups must use the greatest discretion. Do not under anycircumstances urge young people to get married unless they will call with all the earnestness oftheir being to their “Presence” to see that the right individuals are brought together that canharmonize. Each one should feel his or her own responsibility to Life in that act. Marriage shouldbe the most beautiful thing in the world, but if it is entered into by the human desires alone, then itbecomes a tragedy in the life of the individuals.

So I say to you grown-ups, be cautious, be careful what you do, and wherever there is anindication of this, call the “Presence” into action with great earnestness and sincerity, and ask theAscended Masters to stand guard over our young people and see that only the right action in thiscapacity comes about, so that they may be protected from this tragic condition which the blackmagicians have tried to drive at our young people everywhere. Unless the young people standguard, I am ashamed to say it but the orthodox world is hoping to see—not all of them, but many ofthe vicious individuals are hoping to see—conditions take place that would bring disgrace uponthe “I AM” Students and the Schools; so you have all these things to stand against. They have nopower, except that you must be aware of what you have to contend with. Then you, by the Power ofLight, can hold yourself Invincible against them!

Please do not let this go out in a general way; but the Goddess of Light, in council with theActivity of the Great Central Sun, is calling for a certain Activity to the Earth that never has been.Seeing the necessity, and the protection required for the people of Earth, She has made this requestin order to allow this to come forward more quickly. If it is granted, or shall I say—of course inOur World there is no such thing as “if”—but when this is granted . . .

Mrs. G. W. Ballard: “I add my Call to Hers to bring It to pass quickly!”Bob: Thank you. Will you and those in charge of the School voice your Call from the physical

octave?Decree by those present: From the physical octave of Earth we add our Call to the Beloved

Goddess of Light’s; and in the Name of Mercy to the humanity of Earth, we ask the release of the

Power for which She calls. May It come with the speed of lightning, be eternally sustained, andever expanding. And we accept its answer now!

Bob: Thank you very much. I cannot impress upon you too strongly how necessary it is toknow what you require and make the dynamic Call for It. You see, mankind—and even the StudentBody—does not yet realize that unless you know what is to be done, how in the world are yougoing to call for it to be done? Now your general Application, of course, sooner or later wouldgovern these points; but if you are informed of the imperative requirements of the moment and thenyou make your dynamic Call for that result, do you not see how then and there it is done, whereasotherwise it may be months or years before the general Application would release you from thecondition that is existing.

I know it has not been possible for Saint Germain to reveal many of these things. But as theconditions are dissolved more and more and He has more time to go into the details of things, thenyour attention will be called to one thing after another; and you will find in the momentum you havegained, as He calls your attention to these certain activities, with one swat—excuse Me if I use thatexpression—you will have the thing done, through the momentum you have gained.

So do not be discouraged because you have not yet been given information that will comeforth—I mean little details so far as your individual lives, Application, and requirements areconcerned—because it has not been possible. But as these other things are accomplished in thenational activity, then these things will be given. Then you won’t have to keep thinking, revolving,or repeating them; but as you give one mighty Decree for a certain thing, you will know it isfinished. And as you go on to another, it is finished.

Then it is like you go out into your gardens, and you go into a row of plants and unearth onething after another. You pull the roots out. That is all there is to it. There is no further growth; thereis no further accumulation. Just so will you pluck out by the roots these habits and qualities orwhatever you are calling to have released. You don’t have to give it any further thought orconsideration. Therefore, it keeps your mind from having to revolve upon these things. Sometimesan uncontrolled feeling upon your part can revolve, and you do not know it. You can revolve athing in the feeling without the intellect knowing it, or a thing that has been unpleasant.

You will find when this substance has been dissolved from the atmosphere that there will bescarcely any inclination to revolve discordant things. And I say to you, Beloved Ones, do notdiscuss an unpleasant thing any longer than it is necessary to gain an understanding of it and what isrequired. Cut it off just like that, the minute you have come to the understanding of what is to bedone. Do not discuss it anymore—any unpleasant thing—because if you do, you gain a revolvingmomentum of that. This is so important.

Today a very beautiful and very wonderful Activity has been released into your home here.Remember this is God’s Home, the Home of the “Mighty I AM,” the Home of Light. Lotus, willyou take Mr. Hall’s hand; and Mrs. Hall, will you take Mine.

Great Presence of Light—O “Mighty I AM,” Great Host of Ascended Masters, charge intothese two individuals Thy great Peace, Thy great and mighty Directing Intelligence, Thy greatKindliness that allows no disturbance of any kind to arouse any kind of feeling; but through theOutpouring of Light into the School and to the students, hold that loving Kindness that is thedissolving Presence of Light, the “Mighty I AM” at all times—that holds everything in such happy,joyous obedience to Life that the Fullness of Its mighty Action takes Full Command and holds Itsustained forever. We thank Thee it is done.

Oh, there is so much I should like to talk to all of you about today, so many wonderful things.You do not see them yet, but be patient until the day when you see the outpicturing in the human

octave of all this mighty achievement. With Those who have spoken these words before, I say toyou—adding My bit to Theirs—the achievement since the Messengers arrived in Chicago has beenthe most stupendous thing ever on this Earth! Do not think this sounds sacrilegious; but it is somuch greater, as the Beloved Ascended Master Jesus has said, than at any one point of HisActivity, that He stands many times in absolute quiet pouring forth His Radiance to the Earth and toSaint Germain for this gigantic Achievement.

What a glorious thing to look forward to when the Goddess of Peace will once again be incharge upon Earth in the Hearts and minds of the people, the Goddess of Purity once again restoredto Her Throne upon Earth pouring forth that Purity of thought and feeling to mankind, and theGoddess of Liberty with Her Scepter of Dominion! What a great and mighty thing—the Goddess ofLight holding the Dominion of the Powers of Light through each one embodied. Try to feel all thismeans to mankind.

I am sure even the Students do not realize what groups of individuals like this mean, dottedall over America. As they are daily making their Calls in their Mighty Decrees going forth, that isestablished in every Group to hold an Activity of the Light there. I say to you, be on guard,Beloved Ones, because there will be individuals trying to intrude into your Groups—seeing thekindliness and sympathy, as they think, of the Students and the Group Leaders. They come in withonly one desire, and that is an immoral desire. Stand guard! Make your Calls constantly for everysuch person to be shut out, because that is the condition.

Now remember, Beloved Students and Group Leaders—and Saint Germain wants theMessengers to take this up in the Class here—every individual who has an intense immoralactivity within his or her being and a determined desire to gratify it, must be kept out of associationwith the Students until that one applies the Law and dissolves that desire to the point where he orshe can govern it. To admit such a thing into your midst is inviting the powers of destruction—justlike many times blessed, beautiful souls have married individuals, thinking to redeem them.Usually it doesn’t occur.

Therefore, remember every human being has their “I AM Presence,” and if they are willing togive It attention, It will restore them to Its pristine Purity and Perfection. Until they are ready tomake the Call with determination, all your Calls in creation cannot impose it upon them. Therefore,to allow an immoral individual to come into your midst means disaster if you allow it to continue,because that individual, under the present condition, will throw the miasmic influence and desireover you which will cause each one to begin to feel that. And unless you understand it, you arevery apt to yield to it. Then that which has been a beautiful, marvelous activity is drenched with asubstance of destruction.

Beloved Ones, only as mankind realizes that the energy of Life should come down only to thedividing point between the Divine and the human—from your Heart area down, you are human;from your Heart area up, you are Divine. If you yield to human desires, you drive the energy down,which means dragging yourself into more human limitations. If you return that energy as it comesforth, back to the Presence of Life, the energy itself will lift you one day into your Ascension, yourFreedom forever from human qualities and limitations.

It is not a matter of any other reason in the World except the action of Light, of Life, of energy.If the energy goes into the Earth, it takes the body there. If the energy goes back to the “Presence,”there It draws you into the Ascension. It is the Law of Life that is acting. It is not a matter of moralor immoral activity, but it is the action of energy, of Life. If it goes down, it is humanly qualified,for it does not go back to the “Presence.” If it is Divinely qualified, it produces Divine Order,Divine Justice in the life of the individual.

Therefore, anyone—in fact everyone—must choose how the energy is going to act for them.Therefore, Beloved Ones, I just cannot refrain from referring you again to that activity—and all ofyou know without My explaining, that woodsmen or those who are in lumber camps and those whoare in mining have always been considered as being in the most depraved activity of mankindbecause of the associations, and because of the intoxicants which most of them have chosen toassociate themselves with. But in Mr. Rayborn’s activities—showing the influence of one manover several hundred—his influence was strong enough to hold in abeyance those desires. Hisslightest request was law to them, showing how you as a person in the environment, with theOutpouring of your Light, spread that Radiance of Purity and Perfection to all with whom youassociate. And just naturally you will dissolve from their feeling world the undesirable desires.

Precious Children, remember as you call to your “Presence” for the Purity and Perfection ofLife, then the Presence of Light pouring forth through your bodies from your Heart, your head, andyour hands, is the Radiance going forth to bless all you come in contact with, either the grown-upsor those your age; and you become a moving Pillar of Light pouring Its Radiance forth whereveryou move and to those among whom you move.

So if you will feel that and remind yourselves of it twice a day—when you awaken in themorning and when you go to sleep at night—then you will allow the full Presence of Light tosweep into action in your life and world; and you will become that Action of Life, until one day ItsRadiance becomes tangibly visible about you. As soon as this substance from the Earth isconsumed, I shall expect to see hundreds of the Students who are so determined and so sincere,begin to pour forth such a Radiance that it will be physically visible to anybody. I want to tell you,Beloved Students, work for that; call for It! When once that begins to appear among mankind, thedoubts of mankind will go down like they were hit with a sledgehammer blow.

Be assured that Life, the Great Cosmic Light, the Great Beings of Light—all are quite asanxious as you are, to allow whatever Manifestation in Their Wisdom They think wisest to comeforth—as the Great Law of Life permits—to give mankind the evidence of these things. And whilethere have been innumerable things occur, yet only a few of the Students accept them as unusualManifestations; but they are occurring and will continue to increase and intensify. That is why I sayto you, Beloved Ones, accept even the slightest thing as an Activity of the Cosmic Light of theGreat “Presence” so that you gain the feeling of acceptance. Even suppose you made a mistakesometimes. Well, what of it? Haven’t you made a lot of them? But a mistake in accepting theManifestation is not nearly such a mistake as accepting purely human mistakes. So you would dobetter to make many mistakes in accepting Manifestations and then find they had physical causes,rather than to miss one that was really a Divine Action. And if you find yourself sometimesmistaken, say, “All right, next time it will be real!” But do go on accepting those Manifestations.That is what will help to bring them forth.

A tremendous Power of the Light is being brought forth in New York City that will cause thedissolving of the Stock Exchange. I feel that that must be done to release mankind from the tragedywhich has come through it. The black magician, you will remember, who established that has beenremoved from the Earth. Therefore the feeder of that is gone; only the momentum remains.

Question: “Was that not directly at the Command of the Archangel Michael?”Answer: Oh yes. Don’t think that We are deceivers, but We use many means to draw forth the

black magicians; and the last five that were seized were so amazed. They were led to believe thatthey were having a clear pathway. Then all of a sudden they found it obstructed, and they could notgo either forward or backward. So it is just the Action of Wisdom; and as you find the Power ofWisdom acting more and more in your Life, will you find a Happiness that is complete.

Always remember, Beloved Ones, how imperative obedience to Life is. That means sustainedHarmony in your feeling, so that no longer your Power of Qualification acts except to producePerfection; or in other words, you allow Life which is Perfection to go forth untouched,unqualified by any discordant feeling within you. Then Life of Its own volition will producePerfection for you. Oh, it is so easy as We see it, so marvelous, and only requires so little effort onthe part of the individual if the understanding is correct.

But remember, kindliness, oh, is so needed today in all things. It does not mean that that makesyou less firm and determined for the right—thank you very much. I was just thanking the Goddessof Light. I have asked Her many times if I could say certain things. Just now She has given Mepermission to say a few things.

My Dear Ones, if you could see that purest of Beings go into the psychic or astral world andrelease individuals there, and sometimes even carry them forth out of that night of blackness intothe Light; then in spreading Her Radiance over them, sustain them until they become adjusted to It—individuals who were caught and bound there by the black magicians, not by their own volition.You have no idea—just as today many innocent people are imprisoned in your walls of the humanoctave, so have black magicians imposed upon individuals and caused them to be taken from theEarth and held bound within their chains there. And now they are being released by great numbers.Those individuals are ready for the Octave of Light and have been, but could not have beenreleased unless the black magicians were removed who were holding them bound. Oh, I know youfeel with Me what a Service!—I think the most Transcendent, possibly, to render to the Earth. Idare not intimate even the conditions under which many of those have been thrown out of the bodyand bound in those conditions. It is not time yet to discuss this publicly, but hold this within yourown sacred power.

This is a phase of the Activity which We have never mentioned before; but I want you as theStaff, the teachers of the School, and those in charge to realize and understand this, and why theGoddess of Light is the Authority for this great Tremendous Activity. As you know, She was theone who had that condition imposed upon Her and, through that, has been made Authority torelease mankind.

Of course you will understand that when She touches a condition of that kind, any place HerRadiance touches, it turns instantly into pure White. It is not that She has anything imposed uponHer; but Her Radiance, wherever She touches, spreads Its Radiance over the entire form. So in allthat you might be required to do in your Service of the Light, remember the Greatest Purity in theUniverse even, sometimes touches the darkness to dissolve it. You humanly should never attempt todo that, only those Great Ones who go to such extremes now to release the people bound in theatmosphere of Earth. Never in the history of the Earth have such things been done or has suchrelease come to the people of Earth.

So today Our Joy is so great in pouring forth Our Radiance to you and establishing It here inthe School, and may the Power of Eternal Light bless you with Its Perfection forever and hold youwithin Its Purity and Perfection, remove every desire of human qualities, and hold all within thatLight that knows no opposite and is the Dominion over all human things. I thank you.

DISCOURSE X

January 2, 1939LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

How We love you, Beloved Ascended Master Youth of America, and We see in your Hearts amighty enthusiasm and great determination. Let Me remind you Beloved Ascended Master Youth,in that for which you have been calling, remember your mighty Call was answered in the Goddessof Purity coming for the first time to your city. For the first time in many centuries She came to theEarth in direct contact with your city. Will you realize all that She means to you?

If the Light within you had not wished you to become the Purity of Life which the Goddess ofPurity represents, you could not have made the Call for Her Presence. She responded. Therefore,will you feel the full obligation to give the honor and respect to Her for whom you called?

Allow Me to convey to you today, Beloved Ones, how important it is to withdraw everyhuman opinion, every human desire, from the conditions which have held mankind in bondage andlimitation. I say to you, We who have been set Free, see and know the Laws that are acting uponyou; and if you do not determine to give full response to that which Life requires of you to releaseIts Perfection, then you cannot possibly have it, and you have no one to blame but yourselves.

Therefore, I prompt you with all the Love and Power at My Command. Watch out for humansuggestions! There are people you will meet and you will find they will intrude into your midstevery once in a while—of your age and older—who will try to drag down your Ideals. Do not letthem do it. When you find any such person in your midst, whether that one be of your own age or anolder person who is giving you suggestions of immoral practice, throw him out on his ear ifnecessary. (applause)

I tell you, Beloved Ascended Master Youth, you are making yourselves the representativeIdeal for the entire World. Blessed Ones, do you quite fully realize it?—the whole World islooking to you in this Focus here for the Ideals of the Ascended Master Youth. We know that.While I would not wish you to feel an over-responsibility, it is a great responsibility. I want you tofeel this morning all that this means to you, because if a few of you fail to live up to thoseAscended Master Ideals and leave an example of disgrace of any kind to the World, do you notsee, all the youth of the World will say, “Well, if that is the Ideal brought forth and they cannotstand up to It, why should we?”—never thinking for an instant that someone else’s responsibilityhas nothing to do with their own responsibility to Life.

Beloved Ascended Master Youth, the need of the example to mankind of the Highest Idealsnever was so important in this World as at the present time. You are at the dividing line of the Lightand shadows; the shadows are rapidly disappearing, but they are going to drag a good many downif individuals are not absolutely firm.

When anyone comes around you giving immoral suggestions, throw them out and wipe thatthing out of your midst as you would a poisonous serpent. If one chooses in the purity of thoughtand feeling to marry and fulfill that sacred obligation, it is quite all right, and it is quite their ownbusiness; but for all of the Ascended Master Youth to think that they must follow such an example,regardless of discrimination, is a great mistake. This thing has swept over the Ascended MasterYouth of our entire America, trying to drive into them the desire that, because someone else ismarried, they should also marry—regardless of consequences. Such is not the case. Wait, I urgeyou, Beloved Ones! Wait for the sure, definite prompting of your own “Mighty I AM Presence,”and do not take the first impulse for granted. That is your great danger today, I tell you frankly; and

unless you respond to the Ascended Masters’ Directing Intelligence and use the Discrimination ofyour “Mighty I AM Presence,” you will find yourself in grave danger.

We want to protect you. We see the forces which are playing upon you, that you do not; andyou cannot imagine Our great Love for you. Since Life was kind enough to Us to set Us free fromthe temptations which the earthly activity holds for mankind, then do you not think that We want todo everything to give you all the Assistance and Prompting within Our Power to help you hold thebalance for the Perfection of Life, so that you may manifest It and bring the Happiness, the Beautyand Perfection which belong to you into outer action?

Ascended Master Youth, you can have oh, such perfectly beautiful bodies and faces at yourage now, by calling forth the constant charge of the Currents of Life to keep Its Almighty Perfectionflowing into your bodies. Not only that, but It will make you strong in your outer determination,which is the activity of the Inner Law of the “Presence.” It gives you the authority and the Power tostand your ground in any condition, and to hold your Dominion through the Ideals which you knoware right.

There is no one from a ten-year-old child on up who does not know and have the definiteprompting if he is about to make a mistake; but because of the outer desires being strong, he oftenoverrules the Inner prompting and will not give obedience to it. People do that constantly. It is onlyby practice, guarding, watching, and calling your powerful Discrimination into action, which isyour Higher Mental Body, that It can stand guard over you and do the things for you which arenecessary.

I want you to know and remember that We four Children are just about your age. Do you notsee, Beloved Ones, how kind Life has been again in setting Us Free so that We might, from thegreater expansion of Understanding, give you the prompting if you care to have it. Why, We wouldnot intrude anything upon you, Beloved Ones, for anything in the world; but We have seen, We havefelt your Call, and it has been mighty intense to the Goddess of Purity! That is proof positively thatyou want to be that Perfection. Therefore, with your cooperation and with your obedience We willmove Heaven and Earth to give you Ascended Master Protection, Blessing, and Strength to hold toyour Ideals. Someone in the world of the Ascended Master Youth must be strong enough to do this,but you cannot be if you listen to human suggestions!

Now Ascended Master Youth, I would not wish you for one second to let down your guardbecause the black magicians have been removed and so many discarnate entities. There are still alot of entities. Just because the black magicians have been removed, don’t think that the energywhich they have charged has been all dissolved yet about the individual. So keep up yourdetermination, keep up your Ideals, and hold them steadfast until the Mastery within yourself by thePower of your own Light has come forth into action.

So far as your outer activity in the world of service is concerned, if you will start now andcall definitely for the “Mighty I AM Presence” to put you in your own right avenue of service andsee you are abundantly supplied with the money you require—start in now. Even if you had amillion, it does not make any difference; call forth that mighty momentum into action for you andevery Ascended Master Youth in America because, remember, you have been given tremendousprivilege here.

I sympathize a little with the other cities that have not had the privilege that you have had here—your climatic condition, your sunshine, all that is naturally helpful to the creation of happiness—and yet I want you to realize that you do have an opportunity here the other cities do not have in theEast. And remember, you are not piled on top of each other here. Think of thirty-five or fortystories piled on top of each other in New York! Do you wonder the people do not know what they

want!Why, I tell you—before the Messengers went there next to the last time in New York, if you

had seen the confusion and chaos in the atmosphere of that city, you would have been terrified.That does not exist here; and I want to tell you that your condition of human creation here hoverslargely close to the surface of the Earth. It does not extend in the atmosphere like it does in theeastern cities. Therefore, as you are upon the surface, call this Mighty Perfection into action andrelease the Power of Light and the Power of Radiation through yourself, and you will find that willbe compelled to dissolve and disappear. I mean by your direct Call. I call your attention to ittoday. Call that Light and Energy down on the Surface of the Earth to sweep in and through yourcities, and not just in the atmosphere, but on the surface of the Earth because that is where you needit—here!

As you continue to call to the Ascended Master Youth of America all over the United States,that will enter into the mental and feeling world of mankind, and you will give them the assistanceand courage that will begin to draw them more and more into the Work, in the East. You willremember they were told in New York that they need Los Angeles very much, and that was nofigment of anybody’s imagination. They do, and remember you must have something to do withNew York. You might say that was not any of your business; but since the Great Cosmic Light hasconnected you with New York, there must be a reason for it. Remember, the Rainbow connectsyou. And that is the Cosmic Rainbow, Mighty Currents of Energy. I say to you—I cannot take moretime, but I want you to feel that in every effort you make for Purity and Perfection, We are pouringforth that Sustaining Power and Courage and Strength.

I want to speak to the boys this morning. Upon you devolves a great responsibility. I urge youto be very careful in caressing others. These blessed young girls are your responsibility. Maybeyou do not quite feel that but you are the masculine element, the positive element; and if you putforth a wrong suggestion through your feeling, which finds action in one of those pure girls, thenyou are responsible for the consequences. Call with all the power of your being for Purity of yourthought and feeling and full command of yourselves.

It would be a wonderful thing if mankind were in command of themselves to put their armsaround each other and over each other’s shoulders and give encouragement and strength; but I tellyou today it is a dangerous thing to do. Ascended Master Youth, Girls and Boys, guard yourselvesagainst that. You are endangering everything, because it is so easy for it to go too far. Have thedignity of Life in your love for each other. And do not let the human creation, in order to gain itscontrol over you, draw you into a thing that seems justifiable.

The Radiation of the Ascended Master Youth is not yet to the point where you are sure ofyourself when you do these things; and if you will be careful about it and have a great dignity inyour actions toward each other, you will find so much greater happiness, so much greater freedom,and so much greater sureness of your own self-control. Therefore, Beloved Ones, let Us help youand let Us stand guard with you to allow all that great Purity and Perfection of Life to flow forth sothat you may be that amazing example before mankind.

And remember, the Messengers cannot tell you what you should do. We cannot tell you whatyou should do, except to point out the Law to you as They do; then you must call your “Presence”to stand guard and direct you. But Blessed Ones, please don’t accept your first impulse as beingcorrect, when you call to the “Presence” for direction. Wait a little and see whether you are havingthat direction from your “Presence” or not. Just because you call for it, does not mean you alwaysget it instantly.

After a time as you continue to call and cleanse your atmosphere, then you will almost

without exception receive the direction; but as yet when there is so much charged into theatmosphere, something else might intrude—some other suggestion—even as you call to your“Presence,” and you might think it was your “Presence” answering. Wait and be sure of it beforeyou act. Won’t you do that? You will have tremendous guard. You see, just because you havebecome aware of your “Presence” and call to It, does not mean the atmosphere is yet clear enoughso you get Its clear, direct Action. Not that you could not, because many do; but be sure of it beforeyou act. Then I am sure you will have great happiness.

I wish I had two hours to talk to you this morning (applause), but remember your Power, yourAuthority in your Call to Life, to your “Presence” to hold you within Its Invincible Protection, ItsMighty Directing Intelligence. As you do that, you will find It will eventually come forth so thereis no question as to Its Mighty Direction; then as you go forth, what a wonderful privilege it is toserve that Presence of Light.

Remember, do you quite realize—I think not—do you realize in your Call to the Goddess ofPurity you have placed yourselves under Her Charge! I want you to realize that fully andcompletely. You have made a mighty earnest Call and She has answered. Therefore, you haveplaced yourselves under Her Direction, under Her Guard. Do not ever do anything that would marHer great Light Projections to you.

I thank you and bless you with all My Heart. Rex, Nada, and Pearl join Me in Their GreatOutpouring of Divine Love to you. Call to the Powers of Light that that may be an ever-sustainingPower to guard, to bless and hold you within that Mighty Radiance until your full Perfection isthere.

I must just say another word or two. Do you know that your Call to the Goddess of Puritybrought you to the Royal Teton and you were there? Only in months to come will you begin to,through your feeling, understand what that visit has meant to you. May you give attention to it andgratitude for it, and may you stand forever the Victory of that Mighty Light within you. I thank you.(applause)

DISCOURSE XI

March 16, 1939DENVER, COLORADO

SAINT GERMAIN:My Beloved Ones, I just want to greet and congratulate you, and let you know how full My

Heart is to see your ever-increasing harmony and love toward each other. And may I ask that youin Denver—Students, Group Leaders, and all—pour such love, kindness, and blessing to eachother that all We wish to do may quickly be accomplished in your city and environment; for only inthat, Beloved Ones, can the fullness of Life find its perfect expression for each one of you in yourcity.

Your city, since you are living here, is your home. You, as the center of your world, can holdsuch a power and Focus of Light that your city must become ablaze with It; and only as you haveloving kindness in your feelings toward each other, can you hope to individually succeed or bringthe Blessing and Power of the Light that is intended here.

I thank you and bless you, and feel so sure that not one of you will fail to remember MyWords and, in great loving kindness to each other, praise and bless each other. No matter if thereseem to be mistakes, know that that is only a temporary thing and that your love and Call to thePresence of Life will make everything perfect at all times. I thank you for it, and I know within youall is the strength to do it.

To see the Radiance that has gone forth thus far from this Class—the substance and energy thathas been given Us to use has been very wonderful. Oh try to be patient, Beloved Ones. Someday—I cannot tell you just how soon—you will know the reality of a precipitated banquet—not only willyour food be precipitated, but the service will remain forever as evidence of the Power of Light toprecipitate Itself into form to carry Its Blessing everywhere.

Beloved Ones, I know it is quite difficult for many who have not seen such a thing to realizethat here in the Octave above you, what you wish to bring forth is always there at Our Command,ready to lower its vibratory action into a denser form to make itself visible to you, just as naturallyas breathing. All that has seemed transcendent is just natural. Try to feel that. Then you will placeyourself in a position where who shall say when your Presence of Life will see fit to gratify youwith Its Power of Beauty and Expression, and bring into your hands and use direct from Itself, theGlory of Life.

Seeing the vast change in the color effect of the World since the Messengers went forth tocarry this Light, is a joy indescribable. If you could see the change through that color effect—thatis one thing We need in the atmosphere of America. And what do you think I use this opportunitythis morning to show you?—how the Cosmic Light and Cosmic Beings respond so readily andquickly to your slightest effort in this change of color that has taken place throughout America, theprismatic colors of the Cosmic Light! They are taking advantage of it and are intensifying it withtremendous power to hasten the greater change of the color effect to the Earth.

You will find within your home decorations, within your outer light effects, and in allconditions in which the light color is most effective, it will naturally take its action in the feelingworld of mankind; and the demand through the feeling will bring about the glory of the furtherbeautification by the Power of Light. It will render your cities beautiful and your homes, and makethem a fairyland of color and beauty that will change much, Beloved Ones, in the feeling world andattitude of mankind.

So today I rejoice with you; and of course you know it is almost six hundred years since Ibegan My determined Effort to assist mankind to change all, including the government, into theAscended Master Perfection. My Courage is boundless today that We are proceeding with greatSpeed and Power in that achievement.

And may your joy and the intensity in your devotion to the Light, and your Call to Light for ItsPerfection to take command—may this hold steady and unyielding as the weeks and months pass,until you will finally see that Almighty Momentum of the Cosmic Light sweep into action toproduce Its Beauty and Perfection, Its Harmony, Its Power of Divine Love.

Oh, what a joy to see everywhere the Students standing firm against human gossip, refusing toaccept it or listen to it; and to see the great, great added harmony among the Student Bodyeverywhere! Oh, once they realize that that is the open door to the immediate Perfection ofeverything that every Heart desires, then someday—I hope not far distant—the Light will permitMe to stand in My Tangible, Visible Form and talk to you; then forever will disappear the doubtsand fears of mankind. We long for that more than you perhaps, but We must abide in obedience tothe Great Law of Life. You are fast coming to that realization, even many without knowing itoutwardly, in giving obedience to that Great Light. May It bless you forever.

Now I shall ask Bob to continue Our morning’s visit. (applause)

BELOVED BOB:I greet you in the Name and Power of Light, Beloved Ones. I just cannot refrain from

conveying My Love and Gratitude and Praise to Our beloved ones for the rendering of thatwonderful composition. As We were present, listening and watching the Radiance of Light and thecolor effect that went forth, how happy it made Us! And, oh, as you play and sing that, may it liftyou into the Eternal Mastery of the Ascended Master Youth of America.

Oh, Ascended Master Youth of America, let us consider you all this morning. May you realizethe privilege that is yours in your attention to the Great Perfection of Life. Remember, BelovedOnes, your “Presence” above you; the focal Powers of the entire Universe are in your “Mighty IAM.” As you come to realize this more and more in your attention to It—it is all quite natural—then will you feel that ever-increasing intensity that will bring Its Perfection at your Call withgreater and greater speed. And, oh, I urge every one, be not dismayed if your Application has notproduced all you require or wish. It must come; only stand steady until the full outpicturing of ithas the opportunity to come forth.

You cannot judge, you cannot see what there has been in the accumulation of your worldwhich must be cleared away; and if it requires one just a little longer time than the other, then stillrejoice that the fullness of Its great Power does find Its expression.

Mr. and Mrs. Rayborn are here with Us. Shall I say what I have styled them to be? Father andMother of the Student Body. (applause) And why did I do that? Because of the tremendous naturalharmony that was there in their pilgrimage in this embodiment before their Freedom. Of coursenow, its power of intensity as They move among the Student Body is not easily described inwords; only may I say that it is very great. I have noticed at certain points in every Class suddenlythe whole atmosphere changes; and from that time on, comes a great love, quiet, peace, andharmony. They always have something to do with it.

And Beloved Ones, please, in the conditions that you meet in the outer world, of individualsthat might be out of harmony with the Perfection of Life, please do not condemn. Please do not feelunkind toward them—not that you should not be very positive toward any discordant or destructiveforce in the human octave, yet you need not be unkind. I mean by that when you allow disturbancein your feeling world, you are not helping them, you are not changing the condition; but you are

adding to the discord of the individual upon whom your attention is fixed.Therefore, I say to you the remedy for everything in your individual life or your nation comes

by looking upon a thing and, if it needs correction, by saying, “Oh, ‘Mighty I AM,’ this is acondition of long accumulation! Send Your Mighty Light Rays into it and correct it.” Then you willhave no feeling of discord or resentment of the condition.

Now, the Student Body has not understood as clearly as I am sure they are going to, thatwhatever the condition, person, or place—whether it be in your individual selves, your city, thenation, or your officials anywhere—if you pour resentment and condemnation upon it you areintensifying the condition. I would like so much to have you who are here, to fix this so firmly inyour consciousness that you will never permit your feeling to control you in the future at any timewhen this takes place. It is detrimental to you; it is intensifying whatever you want to correct,whether it is among your Student Body or whether it is in the city or the requirements of a nation.

Just now I cannot tell you—I am not permitted to tell—just what it is, but there are certainthings under adjustment in your government at this time which Saint Germain is using great Powerto correct. So you as the Student Body, please don’t let one discordant thought or feeling go out tothe conditions in the government that need correcting; but call the Power of Light every time yourattention goes to the requirement and have no other consideration, so that the Power of Light maytake command. Pour forth your Power of Divine Love which carries the substance that He requiresto complete this action which We trust will be very quickly accomplished. And when this is done,We may say many things to you that will give you great happiness.

In spite of all appearances in the outer world a mighty activity is going forth in its greatperfecting power. Your Beloved Saint Germain—one day the World is going to know what HisPresence in a nation means, and remember these words! (applause) Let Me urge you to call the“Presence” with even greater intensity to surge—notice the words “to surge”—and charge theactivity of the Violet Consuming Flame about you and sweep out through your city.

You, the Students of Denver who are here, if you would all—not necessarily together—but ifyou would individually every night and morning, call the “Presence” and the Cosmic Beings tosweep the Violet Consuming Flame through your city and wipe out all discord, impurity, andimperfection, you would render a Service indescribable. You see, if you would do this regularlynight and morning, it means one wave after another keeps going; and each time, it gains momentumand power in rendering this cleansing, purifying Service that is required. In your altitude it makesit much more effective and more easily done, more easily accomplished.

Therefore—(silence)Yes, Saint Germain says I may voice these words. We have not reallydared to do this before, but according to the Call and the activity of the Student Body will it tosome degree determine the location of the City of Light to the westward. Possibly those words donot mean to you all they intend; however, just contemplate them.

And I want to say to you, Beloved Students of Denver, I have never known the Great GodTabor to rejoice in the accomplishment of the Children of Earth as He has done recently. You haveno idea how the great God Tabor enjoys having you call to Him to govern conditions. (applause)He has said: “Now remember, We are just beginning in the gaining of the momentum of the futureover conditions which will make you the regulators of moisture, of climatic conditions, accordingto the requirement of your environment.”

Oh, My Dear Ones, do you quite realize what that means—that you as individuals within anenvironment could call to that Presence and Power of Light to regulate the conditions in themoisture, and the withholding of frost and conditions that would destroy your fruits and vegetables.And remember as these great Calls go forth and the Maha Chohan sends His Mighty Cleansing,

Purifying Currents of Energy to remove that which has been destructive in the nature growth tomankind—remember nature itself never grew anything that would be destructive; but mankind,imposing its demands upon nature, compels it to produce these things that have been destructive tomankind. Did you ever know that? Did you ever know that nature never produces a thing of itselfthat would be destructive to mankind, but mankind’s feeling compels nature to obey.

The destructive forces of mankind are what have made your deserts. And do you know that inthe coming time the deserts of the Earth will cease to be; they will be garden spots of the Earth inthe change that will take place. You and I know you cannot fully comprehend all this means, but tryto realize what these vast changes will mean. Oh, the happiness, the beauty, and the Perfection! Wesee that surging in the atmosphere already, and since this substance by the intervention of theGoddess of Light was dissolved and consumed, it is allowing the Power of the Cosmic Light tobegin to surge Its mighty Activity in Its perfecting Power for that which must ere long come intoform. Such changes in your flower and vegetable kingdom! We rejoice tremendously in Itsperfecting Power to you. The qualities of all this which you require for use are steadily and surelychanging into Its greater and greater Perfection.

So today rejoice, Beloved Students. Oh, stand so unyielding in your Calls for all that is beingdone; and aside from the blessing of individuals, oh how great is your activity for America. AndBeloved Ones, could you see as We did yesterday the Power released which went forth for theblessing and protection and changing of the conditions of America—released from your StudentBody here in this Class—it was tremendous. Therefore, it is not always in numbers, but in thepower and qualities that are released. And while your Class is not as great in numbers as some, yetyou are releasing great power; and I congratulate you, Beloved Friends and Fellow Students ofDenver, and those who are visiting here. Oh, it is magnificent.

We love you and bless you tremendously for your staunch, firm stand to the Light; and oh,Beloved Ones, put aside, refuse to listen to any gossip or disturbance toward this Light. It is theglory of the ages. It is the glory of your individual Freedom and the Freedom of those who knownothing about it. Because they do not, they feel unkind and make unkind remarks, just repelling Itand keeping It out of their worlds. Oh, listen to no such thing; then go forward in the Call to theLight, and the Victory of your “Presence.”

My Dear Ones, this is Life—it is Light, it is Reality, it is Power unyielding! Remember, asour Beloved Lotus has so wonderfully put it during this Class, “the Power of Harmony”! Think ofit! Then you can call all the Power in the World into action, whereas in the past it was a dangerousthing to do. But now in the Understanding of your “Presence,” and knowing that It is the Power ofHarmony, then you may call all the Power in the Universe to your Assistance and only Perfectioncan come. Power unqualified, in the past, caused people to fear you; but today the limitless Powerof Harmony will cause people to bless and love you. You need not fear to call this Power intoaction.

Oh, My Dear Ones, you have heard, I know, with the intellect. You have heard to some degreewith the feeling. But these Qualities that the Ascended Ones are sending forth into your feelingworld to strengthen, encourage, and bless you—the outer does not comprehend but slightly all thatthis means. All these Qualities They give you, Their Substance and Energy, you cannot requalify byany discord. Therefore, as that continues to increase, naturally in your feeling world there goes outthe command for the presence of Harmony and Perfection; then you will see in your Call how muchmore quickly will come this result in perhaps a few years that might have taken years by your owneffort. Do you quite understand that?

Without Their Assistance your earnest, determined Call to the Presence of Life might take

years, owing to the accumulation there has been in the past; but with Their Substance projectedinto your feeling world by Their Power of the Light Rays, it is hastening your intensification andCall with a speed and power that perhaps in most instances will make it sixty times greater thanyour individual effort. Can you conceive of anything so great as that? Remember, sixty times yourown effort by the projection of Their Qualities into your world.

Therefore, We rejoice as opportunity affords to keep you informed about these mathematicalactivities, if you please—because this is accurate. We have a record of everything and thereforeare in a position to give you mathematically accurate information, and We would not give it unlessWe were. That is why you are just the same as in a great schoolroom, and you were asked to findthe answer to a group of figures. When that answer is accurate, the result is there. Just as certainlyare you going forward today with this mathematical precision in your Call and with the Assistanceof the Qualities of the Great Ones—as certainly as anything in your mechanical world ofaccomplishment today.

Therefore, feel all of this is very practical, and there is not one impractical thing in all thatyou call to Life for or Life wishes to give. I tell you, Beloved Ones, It is beginning to take Itsmighty action in the official world today; and when It gains sufficient action in the official world,what magnificent things will take place. Then clearly Divine Order and Divine Justice will beginto find Their full power of action and expression.

Just recently a set of the Books was placed in the library in Capetown, South Africa, and therejoicing of those people! Oh, weeks ahead are those applications waiting for those Books. I tellyou, Beloved Ones, you don’t comprehend yet; most of you enjoy and appreciate them, but youdon’t realize all that those Books convey and what they mean to mankind. It is the Glory of theAges.

So today in this opportunity to talk to you direct, may the fullness of the peace that passeth allunderstanding enter into all-powerful action in your world and the Dominion of the AscendedMasters’ Consciousness, Substance, and Power find Its immediate Action in your world. And asthe appearance of conditions arises before you, you may speak to them and command them todissolve and disappear and in their place to come the Ascended Masters’ Action of Perfection.

Remember, that in your supply, your Treasure-house is your limitless supply—the Treasure-house of your “Presence.” Call to It and It will govern the conditions of persons, places, andactions of the outer world. You cannot do it yet, My Beloved Ones; but as you call to the“Presence” remembering that It is your Treasure-house, while It does not hold so much coined goldfor you, yet It is the Intelligence, the Power that regulates all out here that is in form, to bring it intouse. Since the Presence of Life is the Owner of all, you are but the custodian. Then if It wishes toshift from one to the other, the “Presence” being your Treasure-house will govern conditions. Thenyou are not deprived of anything.

Oh, turn to your “Presence” as your supply. The “Presence” will do the things that arerequired for you; then all human responsibility is quitted. You see the Messengers, how They neverthink of an individual as the supply. They turn to Their “Presence” and the “Presence” regulates theindividual activity. You see how beautifully and joyously is the release of what is required to carryon the Work. If They looked to you as Students, how quick it would all fail.

Therefore in conclusion, may I add just a word again to the Group Leaders? Please, BelovedOnes, do not criticize and condemn each other. Please do not do it. If you do, your Groups willfail. Your Groups will disappear, and you will have missed an opportunity to serve. Since youhave chosen to establish yourself as a Group Leader, remember your responsibility to Life: if youcriticize and condemn, you cannot hold the people to you. It is impossible. The fault of another is

not your concern; but if you pile criticism upon another and then a wrong happens, you areresponsible for it. So feel your responsibility to Life.

Harmony is the need. Therefore, as you pour out Divine Love to bless each one, then willevery Group be full and running over; and there will be a constant demand on you to find a largerplace to accommodate them. That is the joy of Life.

I thank you, love you, and bless you. And on behalf of Saint Germain and the Others who arepresent—Mr. and Mrs. Rayborn, Rex, Pearl, and Nada—and I am very happy to say Our BelovedMr. Gaylord and His Friend are here, and Our Beloved David Lloyd. How They rejoice! Can youfeel, Dear Ones, since Our Freedom is so recent, can you understand how Our Enthusiasm is soboundless when We see you daily gaining the Victory and nearing Our Goal?

Can you understand, no words can possibly express Our Joy in this new Dispensation that isbeing given which will make it possible for so many Students to accomplish the Ascension thatwould be impossible in this Embodiment otherwise. Can you understand how magnificent thatthing is to Us? Why there is no one thing, Beloved Ones, anywhere in this great achievementgreater than that Dispensation which will give the opportunity for so many to make the Ascensionthat could not otherwise do it in this embodiment. Why, do you realize for two and a half millionyears when you have come and come in embodiments like this—do you realize what it means to besuddenly placed in a condition where with your Command you can be Free? My Dear People,there is nothing so stupendous in the whole World. Were you to suddenly recall the memory of allyou have gone through in those embodiments, then you would leap in your feeling with theenthusiasm that is Mine in seeing the possibility, the opportunity of your Freedom now. Thank youso much.

DISCOURSE XII

April 29, 1939NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

Thank you, Ascended Master Youth of America, and I mean all of you. I love to greet youthus, for that is how We see you always; and will every one of you feel that Presence of Life whichis the Ascended Master Youth of Eternity, charging, electrifying your bodies today while I speak toyou!

When We realize from Our standpoint of Freedom how each one today could—now notice,Beloved Ones, when I say “could,” I mean just that—release into your bodies, into your mentaland feeling world the full power and activity of the Ascended Master Youth. Is it not almost pitifulthat mankind has accepted this appearance of age when such a thing does not really exist? It but hasan appearance, and it is not a Reality. May I have the Power and the privilege to impress that uponyou today, so that you who have the appearance of age may feel the full Power of the Light withinyou to change that even now.

It seems such an unhappy thing that mankind should have allowed that to become thegoverning presence just through its appearance, because I know many of you feel that same powerof youth that you have always felt. That is Life acting within you; and I am going to try while theMessenger is voicing My Words to you to so charge into your feeling world, every one of you, MyFeeling of the Eternal Youth, Beauty, and Perfection so that It will find Its full power of anchoragethere to act within your feeling world.

You see, Beloved Ones, not one thing can find expression, can appear in your flesh structurewhich has not been admitted into your feeling world. That is the cause of all outer things. And willyou see this morning in the Messenger’s earnest, tremendous endeavor to have you see and feel thenecessity of governing your feeling world, how there is the cause or the removal of whatever hasbeen drawn into action there. Your feeling world is your powerhouse, your strength, your courageand energy by which there flows into the outer world of expression what you would have there.

Since you realize you must govern your power of feeling, which is qualification clothing thatenergy of Life as it flows forth, then you become the chooser—shall I say—of all that you wish tohave done. Life will not produce anything for you but Perfection of itself; and when you determineto stop all discordant qualification or limiting qualification of the energy of Life as it flows forththrough your body and out into your world, or directed from your Higher Mental Body into yourworld of action—then you become the master of every situation, of every condition that touchesyour world, because that Light which beats your Heart is the Governing Power, carries theInvincible Intelligence, and is the Commanding Presence of all energy that flows forth when onceyour negative power of qualification is stopped. It is a magnificent opportunity. And really, sincemankind has so long held itself in the belief of these limitations of the appearance world—wellnow, since you find you can change that and there is no opposition to this Presence of Life, ItsCurrents of Light and Energy that flow forth, and since your qualification is the clothing of thatwhich has produced these conditions—then is it not quite easy to discontinue that and just let thisgreat Stream of Life and energy flow forth and produce Its Perfection?

You see the transformation, the change that has taken place in the Messengers in such a fewyears, and how every condition that has confronted Them has been governed by that Call to thePresence of Light; then it is the same for all of you.

May I try to have you understand clearly what the idea of a Messenger is? There has been

such a great misunderstanding concerning the Appointed Messengers. An Appointed Messenger isone who is given greater opportunity for the expression of Life, a wider opportunity. It does notmean that they are not still subject to the same conditions that the Student Body is. They are notperfect beings, and your Beloved Accredited Messengers before you are still not perfect beings.They are not Ascended so far, and anyone who is unascended is not wholly perfect; but Theirdynamic Application has held Them within the constant, almighty Radiance of Their Presence ofLife and the Ascended Masters.

Your opportunity as Students is an opportunity to serve, to pour out a greater stream andpower of your pure, perfect Life, which is energy, to produce Perfection in your world and whereyou move. Few yet understand what magnificent opportunity there is in allowing their “Presence”to pour Its Radiance through them everywhere they move to bless mankind with Its Blessings.

For instance, observe this lovely room you are in today. The Radiance that is drawn here willforever remain a Blessing to this room. (applause) If the management of the beautiful theaters andauditoriums of America understood what this Blessing would mean, they would invite theMessengers there free of charge. (applause) That is just as true as I am telling you. There is nosuch Blessing ever offered to this Earth as is brought forth through these Classes of the Messengersand the Power of the Ascended Masters, the Legion of Light, the Cosmic Beings, and the CosmicLight; and just since the Messengers came to your city has there been one of the greatest—noticenow—the greatest Releases for the individual or Student Body that they have ever experiencedthus far. (applause) That is why We are so rejoiced in the opportunities that offer, to call It forth.

And now shall I explain something to you which the Messengers I believe have not explained.Take this instance just now. While He is voicing My Words to you and this Radiance is drawnhere, that is directed, My Beloved Ones, from your Presence of Life. There is no humanqualification in that. There cannot be, because It does not flow through your bodies; but that energyis released direct from the energy in this room, and the power It carries is not touched by humanqualification. Therefore It is the pure Energy, Light, and Power of Life. It is a magnificent thing;and one day when mankind understand all that It does mean to them, they will then feel and rejoicein the privilege and opportunity which is theirs to have this.

Now that does not mean that It only flows through the Messengers, but everyone and everyGroup who will give their attention to the Presence of Life and the Ascended Masters will havethat flow; for We have had and do have the record of many, many very small Groups—say seven,eight, ten or twelve people—whose devotion and adoration to the “Presence” and the AscendedMasters is so great that they are almost lifted from their seats in their “little Meetings,” as theyterm it. Well that is a magnificent Service, because that is a release and power of Radiance pouredforth that probably covers miles and miles of environment.

Now take for instance the Radiance drawn here: The Radiance drawn in the auditorium forthe Classes is a concentrated, definite Action and Power of Light; but that Radiance spreadsthroughout the city and touches the mental and feeling world of mankind as few can understand inthe outer so far. But if you saw Its Action from Our standpoint, you would see how magnificent Itis, because as I said a minute ago all cause comes from your feeling world and through it.Therefore, when your attention is upon the Presence of Life, you are having the Perfection of Lifeflow forth because you are not qualifying it with discord.

Will any one of you tell Me that you can have your attention upon the “Presence” and feeldiscordant or unkind! Could you? I think not. If you were extremely discordant and held yourattention a few minutes upon the “Presence,” the discord would not be there—therefore showingthat the attention to the “Presence” whose Light is the governing Power, does govern even the

human feeling. That is how anyone can harmonize themselves, still themselves sufficiently to allowthis Power to flow forth and render whatever service in their body, in their world of action isrequired.

The Messenger just had a letter He opened last evening before retiring, that We have beenwatching for some time. These individuals were having a little difficulty in getting the full powerof feeling into their Application, but in answer to a letter—now notice this—in the answer to theirletter, not in the words that were stated there but in the Radiance that went with the letter, did theirrelease come. And it came instantly as soon as the letter reached their hands and the Radiancecontacted their physical structure. That is only one of the thousands of instances where that samething has occurred; but these blessed ones’ words could not convey to you their gratitude, theirrejoicing, for they had held steadfast, and yet constantly the wonderment kept rising within them asto why they had not had greater results. Then on the instant they realized that their attention in spiteof their effort had been somewhat divided; and in the Radiance that went forth with the letter thatwavering in the consciousness, in the feeling, ceased. And of course instantly flowed forth thePower to render the Service.

May I try to convey to you just now in connection with that, that in your endeavor, in your Callto the Presence of Life you need to watch and guard that your feeling is not divided in yourattention to the “Presence” in your Application. And I know your blessed Hearts still are not firmenough against sympathy, against self-pity, against self-justification.

And shall I say something to you that is almost startling? How do you think it is thatindividuals sometimes turn aside from this Work, this Great Light? Shall I tell you the secret backof most of it? Self-justification. It is one of the most dangerous things in human qualities. My DearOnes, watch, guard yourselves so firmly against human sympathy, which is agreement withimperfection. Guard yourselves against self-pity and self-justification. Self-justification is onemeans by which the discordant qualities of mankind will rush in upon you perhaps quicker than onmost any other thing, because it is so very subtle. And would you believe Me when I say to youthat it is even more dangerous than anger, because it is so much more subtle. That is why thismorning I am taking advantage of this opportunity to prompt you on some of the things which I amsure most of you are quite unaware of.

Now there are three activities of Life when once held in their Purity and Perfection that willproduce immediately any given result your attention is fixed on. Few yet understand the infinitepower of their attention, and yet every one of you who has held your attention fast, unwavering tothe “Presence” has felt and had the immediate results.

Then may I add another thing that is so vital to stand guard against: human suggestions. MyDear Ones, you have no idea how tremendously you are affected; and that does not mean justthrough outer expression, but it means through the feeling acting in those about you. You can take onsuggestions from the feelings of individuals quite as readily as from the spoken word, because thefeeling is more subtle and less on guard. If something is spoken that you do not agree with, you areimmediately on guard; but not so in the feeling. You many times feel a discordant feeling and ofcourse you do resist it, but you don’t hold that guard. Something else takes your attention, and tosome degree some of that feeling has reached into your world.

Now that is why, Beloved Ones, the Messengers have urged the Student Body throughoutAmerica to use the Violet Consuming Flame and hold the Tube of Light about them in their Call tothe “Presence.” These things could not occur, My Beloved Ones—I mean the feelings fromindividuals could not enter into your world if the Violet Consuming Flame was kept in action andthe Tube of Light drawn for your protection. Now you only have to make the Call to your

“Presence” and your “Presence” will do that, but notice please, don’t be off guard. If you havecalled the “Presence” to produce the Tube of Light and hold It invincible, and then you becomeviolently discordant, you will break through that Tube of Light and make an opening, because youare the one who called the discord there through the discord in your feeling world, if your feelingsare strong. Call the “Presence” to hold Its full Protection about you.

Oh, My Dear Ones, please understand these are not just words, but they are Laws of your Lifein its simplicity, in its glorious, almighty action; and if you will give heed to these things in therequirements for your Perfection, you will have it very quickly.

I never cease to marvel at Our Freedom, seeing as We do from the unlimited standpoint. Oh,My Dear Ones, just think, so few years ago we stood in limited bodies just like yours. Can youwonder at Our Enthusiasm, Our eternal Joy that now We have this Freedom—still seeing what ashort time ago it was that we were here, as limited as you are. Many times people have felt, “Well,if those Children without any more effort than they made could have their Freedom, why can’twe?” Are any of you the choosers of the Wisdom of Life? Our Life Stream in Its Wisdom saw fit togive Us Our release. I cannot tell you why your Life Stream compels you to make effort, but do younot see that it is necessarily the Law of your being that has something there that compels thenecessity of your effort, which is your conscious Application. I cannot tell you why your LifeStream chooses to cause you to make Application.

Of course I consider Myself one of the most fortunate of beings, for good Heavens, DearOnes, I made so little Application. And if this Good Messenger thinks He was fortunate in beingtaken under Saint Germain’s wing, I think I am still more so; for in the great service He hasrendered to the World, I feel I was rendering so little for My Freedom.

Do you not see, My Beloved Ones, in these illustrations how it is the Wisdom of Life thatknows, that chooses? We cannot choose in the outer limited understanding what the Presence ofLife shall do for us and through us, what It will do for one and not apparently for another; but ifthere seems to be the necessity of your Application, for Heaven’s sake, make it with all you are.That is the thing that counts, Dear Ones. How do you know—you who are still in these limitedbodies—how do you know that when you finally achieve the Victory that you may not go farbeyond Me! How do you know that? You might say to Me, “Well, how can We go beyond eachother in the Ascended State?” Only in the amount of Service We render.

Do you quite understand, My Beloved Ones, how it is that your Beloved Saint Germain stillbows in Adoration to the Great Divine Director? Try to understand these things, because when aService has been rendered you, throughout Eternity there is that humbleness to that one throughwhom that Service came. That is gratitude and it lasts forever.

My Dear Ones, I shall never forget through Eternity that night Saint Germain came for me atthe mine and took me to the Cave of Symbols for the first time, knowing that I could functionclearly out of the body, but in a tangible body. And when we arrived at the Cave of Symbols andfor a moment I stood there on that table looking at those there—just as clear as I would stand herein the physical body and look at you—can you imagine the astonishment, the joy that it was to me!

I am saying these things this morning to try to release you, relieve you of having any feeling ortrying to judge in the outer why this, that, or the other thing is. Do not be concerned about it orsomeone else. Just in your adoration to the “Presence” call Its Mighty Powers into action. Yourworld is the only place you should be concerned with. If someone else has made a great leapahead and has received some great Freedom, rejoice; but do not feel, “Oh, why can’t I do it too?”It might obstruct your way tremendously, because your feeling of “why can’t I be where someoneelse is or do what someone else does,” is an obstruction in your way. Just put everything aside

and, turning to your “Presence,” accept Its Invincible Perfection in your life and world. Then pourforth Its Blessings to all your associates in every way, to all Student Bodies. Then you haveopened the door to the most rapid progress possible for you.

Now for instance in the recent Ascension here in New York: My Dear Ones, if the children ofthat family, if the wife of that good man should feel all puffed up about that achievement, then theywould have placed a great obstruction in their way. That was his achievement, not theirs. Now thisis what mankind must understand. Because someone else has achieved their Ascension does notrelieve those of the family from making the effort that will bring them to the same point. It is Lifewithin the individual that does these things.

Now it might be thought that he had not made as much Application as others. Well how shallyou judge what his Life Stream chose to do? And really it was just a little too much for some inNew York that this man should have made his Ascension. Well, be careful! Be careful, BelovedStudents! Your Ascension might be very close, and such a feeling might shut your door. I tell you,My Dear Beloved Friends and Students, if you have had such a feeling in your being as trying tojudge another, stop it this instant if you want to be free.

I am going to say something that sounds quite rude. You know you New Yorkers—and I do notmean just you Students—but the New Yorkers and the Bostonians have felt that they were quite anauthority in the World. Oh, that is true, but I say this very kindly because I want you to be free fromit. Who is authority in this World? Nobody but your Presence of Life, and don’t make any mistakeabout it.(applause—audience rising) My Dear Ones, the people of wealth and social position whostand and look upon the World and say to the rest of the World, “You are crude, I have to drawmyself away”—that individual is drawing himself away from Life.

And to think that one day not so far distant all of that foolishness and prejudice of mankindmust vanish. In the humble Hearts of mankind sometimes is that great magnificent Light. When wewish to draw aside from our fellowman, we are drawing aside and away from Life. And I say toyou, whatever your position in Life may be, be kind to your fellowman. Be willing to reach forth ahelping hand through your mental and feeling world to bless them in all their ways. Only thus canyou have Freedom, Beloved Ones.

Mankind, oh how We rejoice, is coming into an understanding of Life that is changingeverything everywhere. This vast, magnificent change that has occurred in your cities is glorious tobehold. Now this activity is taking place in the mental and feeling world, Dear People; and youwill see the outpicturing of it some more. And when We have witnessed the attempt to ridicule thisgreat Light and the Messengers, what a pitiful thing it is on the face of this Earth. Any person whotries to ridicule this Work, this Great Light, or the Messengers is not fit to shine Their shoes.(applause) This is a Mighty Truth of Life, My Dear Ones; and you have observed no doubt that Wedo not spare human beings’ feelings. We tell the Truth and they may like it or not. That is howmankind is to be set free. That is why We love you so much, because We can tell you the Truth.

You will observe, My Dear Ones, that the Beloved Messengers have never sought wealth,They have never sought influence, because this Work, this Great Light must stand upon Its own, andIt has and always shall. Of course the Messengers and We appreciate every assistance and everyendeavor to carry this Light forth, but the Light must stand upon Its own. It cannot stand throughhuman influence. It cannot stand through wealth, but It is Its own wealth and will one day releasefrom the Treasure-house of America that limitless wealth so that every “I AM” Student in Americaand the World will know what it is to be free of want of any kind. (applause) That comes from theTreasure-house of your individual Presence of Life and the Treasure-house of America. If thePresence of Life in Its great Wisdom chooses to use certain channels, then there is not anything can

interfere with it. Do you see that!You know I want you to so clearly understand this morning how in the very beginning of

carrying forth this Light, individuals all over America have wanted to introduce the Messengers topeople of wealth to call forth that assistance to expand this Light. Sometimes the Messengersrefused to be introduced because They saw that there was unknowingly an attempt there to try todraw from outer sources to carry on this Work. That would have meant its failure, Beloved Ones.

All conditions and all activities of Truth have sooner or later fallen into that feeling that theymust look to outside sources of supply to gain hold and maintain the freedom of the power of thatpart of the Truth which they conveyed. Each time it has meant the failure of it. That shall not takeplace in this Work. What comes forth through the Messengers to carry on this Work will comethrough the Call to the Presence of Life, which is the Treasure-house of this Universe. (applause)

Now then, please understand Me earnestly, sincerely: if it were not that the Student Body mustgive in order to receive their freedom, Rex, Mr. and Mrs. Rayborn, Nada, and I could havereleased into the hands of these Messengers the limitless supply of wealth for all that They everneeded in carrying forth this Light; but We would have deprived the Student Body of America ofthe necessary effort for their Freedom. There are many ways in which mankind can give. If theyhave not money supply to give, then they can give kindness, blessings, and the Call to Life, whichis sometimes quite as important—that is the feeling of release within the individuals, BlessedOnes.

Now let Me try to release everyone from the feeling of financial fear. Your “Presence” is yourTreasure-house. Its Wisdom is the governing activity of your individual world if you let It have achance to do it; but if your fear is too great, it acts within your feeling world and constantly clothesthe Stream of Energy as it goes forth, holding sustained that fear.

Now this Good Brother, the Messenger, had perhaps as great a fear of financial limitation asperhaps any person; but when He found that He could take His attention off of the appearances ofthat limitation and put it on the “Presence,” which was the Treasure-house of His world, then thatvanished, and it exists no more. That is how every one of you must release yourselves. Every timea thought or feeling comes of financial limitations, say: “ ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ I know this isnot true. You know it is not true! Take that feeling out of me and replace it by Your Strength,Courage, and Assurance that You are my Treasure-house; that in my Call to You will come thefinancial release and supply which I require.”

If you would take that firm, unyielding attitude, there would not be one that would not be ableto call forth the financial supply they require for their happiness and comfort and whatever theywish to do in the Service of the Light. Why, My Dear Ones, there is wealth waiting for you thatwould almost pay the national debt right within Our Hands, within Our Grasp, within Our Control.

Rex and I often go to the mine in Our Tangible Bodies. The men do not know that We areAscended Beings, because We make Ourselves look as natural as possible to them. Then youwould perhaps say, “Well, if You can come to those miners and ranchmen out there, why can’t Youcome to us?” Do you know, My Dear Beloved Ones, that the Wisdom of your Life has something tosay about that? Do you not think We would readily and joyfully want to come! Do you not see that?Do you think We would withhold anything that would give you strength and encouragement? Doyou not see, My Beloved Ones? I am trying so earnestly to have you see practically why thesethings are. We cannot go against what the Wisdom of your Life Stream requires, and I want you tofeel that. I want you to feel at ease, and rest in that. Just turn and rest in the Arms of your“Presence,” and let Its Wisdom govern these things that you may not wholly understand in the outer.

Oh, My Dear Ones, in all the magnificent Splendor, Majesty, and Power of these Great

Ascended Ones, They are the most practical Beings, so wholly unassuming. They would as readilygo within your so-called slums of the city and reach forth Their perfect Hands and touch thoseindividuals and restore Perfection there. Then, is there anyone in the pride of the outer world thatshould say, “I am more holy than thou!” Oh, My Dear Ones, that day when all human prejudicegoes down and the great outpouring of loving kindliness and helpfulness comes forth frommankind, then how quickly will all conditions of the outer world be transmuted and mankind willstand in the supremacy of Life.

How We love you, Beloved Students. No words could express that to those who are standingso loyal and so staunch to the Light. Stand more firm than ever, Beloved Ones. Stand unyielding inthat firm, great calm unyielding Call to your Presence of Life for what you require. Hold yourfeelings harmonious that the Power of Life may render that Service quickly for you.

There are thousands and thousands in America today who are almost at the point ofInstantaneous Answers to their Calls. And let Me put this one point before you here: When you seenew Students come into this Light, do not forget that your great work—don’t say this to them,however; but your great work, your mighty Decrees have gone forth in the mental and feelingworld of those blessed ones and have performed a certain preparation; and if they come into theLight and apply the Law with an apparently greater outer appearance of Power than you have done,do not object to it. Do not wonder why it is, because you have been a part in their preparation forit—because do you not see the preparation must go on in the mental and feeling world first beforeit can find the outpicturing in the physical or through it. That is a natural process—it has to be.

Therefore, if someone recently came into the work and has great success in their Application,well rejoice in it, but do not feel he or she is an upstart in your midst.

Thank you for your loving Hearts. Thank you so much, My Dear Ones. I feel it deeply. Thatgreat love in your Hearts is the open door to the Perfection of Life. Let the great Power of your“Presence” flow forth that is the balance of Love, Wisdom, and Power in perfect action to go forthin your world and touch the people who touch your world, and lift them into the Glory of ItsEternal Perfection. I thank you.
