THE HISTORY OF THE

I AM ACTIVITY 

Historical Aspects of the Teaching

Ascended Master Teaching is not new. It has been presented through the ages, by several enlightened individuals. In the nineteenth century, Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy and Helen Blavatsky were among those sponsored by the Hierarchy, and they were able to bring forth certain phases of Cosmic Law.

The first “New Age” dispensation was primarily the effort of the Ascended Master Saint Germain. He sought out those who had assisted him in his previous efforts with the Sahara Civilization, 70,000 years ago, and saw enough reason to carry the Light to the people of the Earth. The Ascended Lady Master Nada assisted the efforts of Saint Germain.

This new dispensation shows an entirely new approach. Saint Germain did not use, as a foundation, any established religious teaching and then add to it. He and other Ascended Masters made no attempt to revive Theosophy; only sparingly did they refer to the Vedic literature of India. Starting totally anew, Saint Germain and other Ascended Masters explained Cosmic Law in clear terms. The method of instruction was based on logic and common sense. In addition, the Masters added their radiation, which helped the instruction gain acceptance through the feeling nature of the students. Saint Germain gave out this new message in America, which at this particular time period, was to assume the lead role. He presented, to the world, a new style of Ascended Master Teaching.

With the introduction of the “I AM” Activity the Masters, for the first time, placed emphasis upon the art of invocation. They explained that the students could best support their efforts, if they would employ the power of the spoken word, called decreeing. The student body responded to this request, which helped greatly to bring about the manifestation of the plan of the Great Ones.

In August 1930, the Ascended Master Saint Germain contacted Guy W. Ballard, on Mt. Shasta, and explained to him certain aspects of Cosmic Law and the history of mankind. This beautiful experience is recorded in the book “Unveiled Mysteries” and it heralded in the New Age. Under the new dispensation, given to Saint Germain, the Ascended Masters, for the first time, could give out information on the I AM Presence and the Violet Transmuting Flame.

After the experiences on Mt. Shasta, Guy W. Ballard received more messages which were incorporated into books. Many were healed while attending his lectures. Unfortunately, after the ascension of Mr. Ballard in 1939, these books, for about 40 years, were no longer made available to the general public.
