THE thirty three Discourses contained in this book were dictated over a visible Light and Sound Ray in 1932 by the Ascended Master Saint Germain and those other Ascended Masters directly concerned with this Activity. The sound of His Voice was physically audible to everyone in the room. At times, His Visible, Tangible Presence also stood within the room, when He radiated the Power and Energy of the Light Rays to accomplish special work. The training and preparation for Him to do this at the present crisis of the outer world was given us over a period of thirty years, that it might be accomplished at this time, and assistance from the Ascended Masters come forth in this way to protect and free all individuals who make conscious effort to correct themselves and attain Mastery over all things on this earth. Never before, except in the Retreats of the Great White Brotherhood, has such intensified, transcendent Instruction concerning the “I AM” been given to individuals. Not for thousands of years have the True Inner Instruction and Use of the Sacred Flame been taught to mankind as Saint Germain and others of the Ascended Masters have revealed. Only fragments of the real understanding of the “I AM Presence” have been given to the outer world until now. The Ascended Master Saint Germain says: “It is the most important Understanding mankind can ever have, and there is no Freedom nor Perfection for the individual, except through this conscious application.” He considers it of such paramount importance that He dictated more than thirty-three Discourses in which He explains what happens in the outer Life of the individual when one says “I AM.” He also says: “Nothing will bless the individual to so great a degree as the Conscious Understanding of this ‘Creative Word.’ ” May this book of “I AM” Discourses anchor the attention of all who read or contact it so powerfully upon each individual’s own Divinity, that the full Ascended Master Consciousness of the “Mighty I AM Presence” shall fill the earth, and release with the Power of a Thousand Suns the Eternal Dominion of “The Light of God That Never Fails.”
