The History Of The I AM Movement Explained

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Guy Ballard would go on to publish a book called "Unveiled Mysteries," which contains elements that are taken directly from Theosophy. The book detailed the messages that Saint Germain apparently told him, including information on ancient civilizations, past lives, the secret kingdom of Atlantis, life on the planet Venus, and the ability to bend reality. Guy and his wife Edna would start the I AM movement based on the teachings that they claimed to receive from the supernatural beings.

These messages from the supernatural entities were known as "The Masters' Discourses." Many discussed the "I AM" or "God Presence" inside everyone, which would ultimately allow them to become pure enough to transcend the mortal realm. As noted in Britannica, at I AM meetings, members would recite calls to the divine, urging them to help transform the world. Listening to these recordings became a way for followers to worship.

As described in the Cult of Saint Germain Collection at the University of Mississippi, followers were expected to give up alcohol, smoking, drugs, sex, gambling, and some foods, including all meat. The central teaching promoted by the messages from the ascended masters was that humanity had become warped by living in their world, and that adults were no longer pure like they were at birth. Followers believed that people lived, died, reincarnated, and lived again until they were ready to ascend and become a master themselves.
