HISTORICAL TIMELINE
of the establishment of the
"I AM" RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT
In 1983, the Library of Congress recognized the "I AM" Religious Activity of the Saint Germain Foundation as a religion (not a sect or cult). In doing so, they provided a separate series of numbers for the filing of all religious materials of the "I AM" Religious Activity in the highest category available in the Library of Congress.
The Library of Congress of the United States of America only recognizes religious groups as a religion after they have been in existence for more than fifty years and in cases where the organization is continuing to grow after its founders are deceased. The "I AM" Religious Activity of the Saint Germain Foundation met both of these tests.

These Messengers "went forth without a dollar and won their Victory every step of the way by the most powerful, dynamic Application of this exact Law which is before you - that beat down the walls of human obstruction for more than a year - almost a year and a half. They went together through that wall to carry this Light to blessed humanity, and more than two hundred and fifty thousand today are being freed by this Application! Dear Ones, that is Divine Love!"

Aug 19-23, 1930
MOUNT SHASTA, California.
After boarding a Greyhound bus from Los Angeles and stepping off in the remote town of Weed, Guy Ballard takes a room in the small northern California town, Mount Shasta.
Guy Ballard, together with the local postmaster and principal of the high school, make an overnight trek up the fourteen-thousand-foot mountain peak.
Guy Ballard meets a 'young Man' who handed him - out of the atmosphere - a "Crystal Cup" of sparkling liquid. After hearing a marvelous Discourse on the Inner Actions of the Law of Law and witnessing a second demonstration of precipitation, Guy realized this person must be one of the marvelous Ascended Masters, though he could not identify him.
When the Master changed His appearance, Mr Ballard recognized Beloved Saint Germain. Then began a series of vivid experiences documented in his Book, Unveiled Mysteries. [1934]
Jan 26, 1931
DENVER, Colorado.
Guy Ballard arrives in Denver. There commences the tremendous experiences that form his second Book, The Magic Presence. [1935]
1932 GODFRE RETURNS TO CHICAGO
Jan-Jun, 1932
CENTRAL CHICAGO, Illinois.
Guy Ballard returns to Chicago after his experiences in the West. Months go by without contact with the Master - Beloved Saint Germain. He wondered what he had to do about his experiences with Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, and what his family was to do in the forthcoming Expansion of the Light.
One afternoon in June on his return from an errand in the city, as usual he walked through the tunnel under the train tracks at Illinois Central. As he walked up the ramp to the street, there appeared in front of him this small brilliant green light. That was his sign, he felt certain. He knew at last that Saint Germain would contact him.

SOUTH-SIDE, CHICAGO, Illinois.
One morning, soon after his experience with this appearance of the small brilliant green light, Mr. and Mrs. Ballard and their son Donald were standing near the door to their dining room. They felt a tremendous Vibratory Action charged into the room.
From within this Ray they heard the Voice of the Beloved Saint Germain saying: "We would like to dictate a series of Discourses, should you care to cooperate. Take time to think it over and let Me know." Mrs Ballard answered immediately, "We are ready to begin now!" "Very well, We will begin next week!" Saint Germain replied.
- Ascended Master Instruction Vol. 4:viii-ix.
CHICAGO, Illinois.
The earliest known Discourse - "On Visualization" is given over the visible Light and Sound Ray on Monday in the dining room of the Ballard's brick bungalow home on Chicago's far south side. The visible Light and Sound Ray from the east touched the table, and all present heard Beloved Saint Germain's Voice. They could see the Master at the other end of the Ray of Light.**
Mrs. Ballard copied down each Discourse in longhand, later completing it in typed form, which would be read to a selected group of Students assembled at the next meeting.
This first Discourse was published in The Voice of the "I AM" April, 1936:13. These early Discourses were directed to the family and their current Students who attended in groups of seven.*
Some of the people privileged to hear Beloved Saint Germain in this way were Paul Stickle, Beatrice "Bee" Rowe, Helen Smith from Philadelphia, William "Bill" Cassiere, Muriel Bliss and Mrs. Petit.**

CHICAGO, Illinois.
Saint Germain announces to the Ballards that He would discontinue the weekly Instruction until the current manuscripts were completed by Mrs. Ballard. In Discourse XXVI of Volume 3 he states, "It is so important that the students have the benefit of the manuscripts that We must discontinue the Instruction until they are completed, for according to their ability to accept that which is illustrated in the manuscripts will the "Great Judge" determine what shall next be given. We may not under any circumstances take the student beyond the point where is well fortified."

SOLDIERS FIELD, CHICAGO, Illinois.
Beloved Arcturus' Discourse on the Inner Activities that occurred during the preceding evening at the Music Festival held at Soldier Field, Chicago as part of the Century of Progress Exposition. He proclaimed "This has made Soldier Field sacred ground, a Sacred Alter of Divine Activity in the Western World, and so far as humanity at large is concerned, the hub of the whole of America."
He added, "During the singing of the "Holy City," the Divine Pattern of that which is to become the " Holy City upon earth" was lowered into Its position, where It shall remain - until It becomes a visible, vibrant City of Light to the westward."
He revealed further that, "The representation of signing the Declaration of Independence, was to bring before the conscious attention of the earth and especially America, its unparalleled activity upon the earth; and to call it to the attention of the people of America, that they might hold close to and stand by the Original Constitution of the United States, which was and is a Divine Creation; until such time as the complete Ascended Master Constitution of the United States of America shall come forth, as the advance of the Golden Age proceeds."
He described, "The Golden Eagle and the Shield represent the Height of Divine Protection for America again reestablished." And, "The Bell of Liberty in the power color of blue, represents the Glorious Liberty and Freedom forever for America and the earth, from all human selfishness; the instigator of which in every case is private profit and the cause has been the same throughout the ages."
He issued a Fiat at that time: "If it be necessary for the protection of America, the Jewel in the Heart of God, then that 'Blazing Light as of a Thousand Suns' shall descend upon the Earth and consume all human inharmony and selfishness from the planet."

1934 FIRST PUBLIC TOUR OF THE EAST COAST BEGINS
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania.
A Historic First Public Class is held over ten days at the St. James Hotel, Walnut and 13th Streets in central Philadelphia. On the first day the Class drew forty people. Each evening, Mr Ballard spoke about the "Beloved Mighty I AM Presence" and Mrs Ballard on the use of the Violet Consuming Flame.
The audience grew each night and at the end of each meeting, the Ballards - as Accredited Messengers of Beloved Saint Germain - answered questions from individuals who stepped forward to meet them on the platform.
Half of that audience smelt the fragrance of the roses yet there were no roses in the room and none of the audience wore rose perfume. It was revealed in a subsequent Dictation by the Beloved Rose of Light in Chicago on 20 December 1949 that the first audiences were privileged to receive the Radiation of some tremendous Blessings. "Beloved Nada, the Lady Master Nada, shed Her Love into that room to help protect the Messengers way and to carry the Work forward. She gave the Essence of Her Love and became the fragrance of the rose. And the strength which She gave then is still expanding within those Life Streams who are still in the Activity and most of them are, that were in that first Class."

WASHINGTON, D.C.
The Ballards open their first Public Class in the Nation's capital, their Sixth in total. The schedule covers ten days in the Hamilton Hotel on 14th and K Street NW, Washington D.C. Beloved Jesus stated subsequently in Oakland in 1939, "Will you observe the Wisdom of Saint Germain in taking the Messengers to certain points to distribute this Power and Radiance throughout the United States? The Messengers were like babes when He took them forth. Would you not have thought that Wisdom would have taken them to the smaller place, until they became accustomed to the work? He took them into the Cradle of Liberty of America! And there their wings came into action.

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida.
The Ballards are invited to come to the State of Florida. Their Seventh Public Class is held for ten days in West Palm Beach at the El Verano Hotel, N. Flager Drive and 1st Street. A new student in West Palm Beach - the Artist, May De Camara offered to paint a large version on canvas of the Chart of the Mighty I AM Presence.
The six feet high by forty inches wide oil painting was mounted on dowel rods so as to be easily rolled up; and was hung as a backdrop of the stage, or alternatively on a easel. Mr. Ballard would stand next to the Chart, and holding a pointer, explain the relationship of the Electronic Body to the physical self.
Also present in that historic West Palm Beach Class was Betty Mundy who became the short-hand stenographer for transcribing the Dictations given by the Ascended Masters as they were given over the visible Light and Sound Ray.

The Ninth Public Class is held for ten days at the Grand Hotel, Pass-A-Grille Beach. Mrs Ballard wrote a message of thank you to the renowned Artist, May De Camara from the Hotel on March 6, 1935 whom had just completed the original work of the large 6-foot Chart of the 'Mighty I AM Presence' in just two months.
The inscription on the canvas reads: "Inspiration from Arthur Brooks' Painting. De Camera, 1935." Standing before the painting, one can identify twelve circles of colours, including two shades of violet, with two circles of blue inside the main Circle and another two at the edge. The Rays on the head of the Upper Figure form a Cap of Light.

Beginning with a ten-day Public Class on Apr 5-15, 1935 followed by a second ten-day Public Class on Apr 22 - May 2, both being held in Los Angeles. The Classes quickly outgrew the original Friday Morning Club venue at 940 S. Figueroa Street which began with six hundred people in regular attendance, the overflow of attendees requiring it to be moved to the Trinity Auditorium on 843 S. Grand Avenue - a venue boasting the largest pipe organ in the Western United States.
In that first Los Angeles audience, a distinguished artist - Charles Sindelar - was present. The Ballards asked if they could display his portrait of the Ascended Jesus in their Classes and permission was quickly given. The Ballards also requested whether he could paint Beloved Saint Germain's Portrait which he assented to, the Picture being first unveiled in the May 19-28, 1935 Public Class in San Francisco. The following year he designed and began publication of the monthly periodical magazine - The Voice of the "I AM."
Other notable attendees in the first Los Angeles audiences included Harry Rogers - a prominent early Leader of one of the dozens of study groups that emerged in southern California and who became the editor of the Saint Germain Press and Beatrice "Bee" Rowe - who became the chief writer and director of the "I AM" Come Pageant, the "I AM" Pageant of the Angels and the Deliverer Play.
SANTA BARBARA, California
A two-day Public Class on May 4-5, 1935 followed in Santa Barbara at the Recreation Center, 100 E. Carrillo where an audience of eighteen hundred awaited them.
SAN FRANCISCO, California
The Ballards went on to conduct a ten-day Public Class on May 19-28, 1935 at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Francisco at 1270 Sutter Street.
Virgilyn Brown of Oakland recalls, " Since the first meeting of this Class was during the afternoon, my father could not attend due to his employment. He asked my mother to go and "see if it is real." Mother and I went to the Friday afternoon opening meeting in the Scottish Rite Temple on Sutter and Van Ness Streets, the entrance being on Sutter. We met in a small auditorium downstairs. At this meeting Mr. Ballard wore a white suit and Mrs. Ballard, a white dress. Max Gyzi made the introductions. Betty Mundy handled book sales - only Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence (just released) were for sale.
"After the meeting people could go up to Mr. and Mrs. Ballard to ask questions. Mother and I went up after the meeting and she asked Mr. Ballard, “Is that the body that the panther guarded"? He threw back his head and laughed. He said, "Yes." Then he added, "AND THESE ARE THE HANDS THAT ASSISTED DAVID LLOYD TO THE ASCENSION."
She recollects, "In that small auditorium in the Scottish Rite Temple at my very first Class, the first time I saw the Ballards, Mr. Ballard made two points which I still clearly remember. There was a light bulb burning on the platform near Mr Ballard which he covered with a dark cloth so you could not see the light anymore. He then told us that this is what we have done to the Light in our bodies. Now we must use the Violet Consuming Flame to consume that which we have imposed on the Points of Light in our bodies so the Light will shine through." **

In a tradition that has continued for eighty-eight years ever since, the Class began on Christmas Eve, at 11:30pm and the ten-days that followed brought "the Class into activity during the most intense Outpouring of the Seven Transcendent Weeks from Jesus, the Ascended Masters, and the Great Host of Light." - The Voice of the "I AM" 1936:11:42.
Beloved Saint Germain and Beloved Jesus dictated in "Letters of Living Light" on January 1 and January 3, 1937. These dictation's can be found in The Voice of the "I AM" 1937:02. and 1947:02; and Volume 6, Discourse I and Volume 7, Discourse II of the Saint Germain Series.
The Ascended Masters, some of whom were present at every Class and who had watched the ever-growing Expansion of the Light, expressed Their Gratitude to the large number of "I AM" Students in California, who made it possible to carry the Work across the country.
Beloved Kuthumi marked the significance stating, "I want you to know today how much the Freedom of America, the Protection of America, has been held by your wondrous Application here. The people of California have made it possible for much to be done which otherwise would have been impossible."
