Ballard was born in Newton, Kansas and married his wife in Chicago in 1916. Ballard served in the U.S. Army in World War I, and then became a mining engineer. Both Edna and Guy studied Theosophy and the occult extensively Living at the base of the California volcano Mount Shasta in 1930, Ballard frequently hiked on the mountain, where he reported the following to have occurred. "It came time for lunch, and I sought a mountain spring for clear, cold water. Cup in hand, I bent down to fill it, when an electrical current passed through my body from head to foot. I looked around, and directly behind me stood a young man who, at first glance, seemed to be someone on a hike like myself. I looked more closely and realized immediately that he was no ordinary person. As this thought passed through my mind, he smiled and addressed me saying: "My Brother, if you will hand me your cup, I will give you a much more refreshing drink than spring water." I obeyed, and instantly the cup was filled with a creamy liquid. Handing it back to me, he said: "Drink it." The young man later identified himself as the Count of St. Germain. Ballard provided details of his encounters with St. Germain and other Ascended Masters in the books Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence, using the pen name Godfré Ray King. The "I AM" Activity started from public lectures about these encounters and grew rapidly in the 1930s. Ballard lectured frequently in Chicago about Saint Germain's mystical teachings, in which America was destined to play a key role. By 1938, there were claimed to be about a million followers in the United States. In 1942, they began the I AM Sanctuary at a Presbyterian missionary school. Ballard died on 29 December 1939 and Edna Ballard died on 12 February 1971. ; Chanera is a pseudonym for Lotus Ray King ; FINE. Book.

Arise! I say, Arise! and walk with the Father-the "I AM"-that you may be free from these limitations. Life, in all Its Activities everywhere manifest, is God in Action; and it is only through lack of the understanding of applied thought and feeling that mankind is constantly interrupting the pure flow of that Perfect Essence of Life which would, without interference, naturally express Its Perfection everywhere." ; SIGNED inscription by "I AM' Movement member Paul N. Stickell, who was a party to the Ballard vs. United States court case in 1943 that sought to convict the I AM movement of fraud based on the fake "truth" of their beliefs. and the solicitation through their books: "Books published and sold by the Ballards were the result of divine visitations and dictations to them by Saint Germain and other supernatural entities, that said books contained divine instructions for the salvation of mankind, and that the Ballards actually encountered the experiences related in said books."; The court case was overturned, and the court advising: "whether that [dictation by Jesus and shaking hands with Jesus] occurred is not the concern of the court and is not the concern of the jury---. They [the jury] are not going to be permitted to speculate on the actuality of the happenings of these incidents.". A candid photo of the Ballards is laid in ; G. Book.

Contact seller5-star sellerCondition: Fine condition. Two apparently unrecorded musical scores issued by Saint Germain Press at the height of the I AM Activity, the metaphysical religious movement founded by Guy Ballard (writing as "Godfre Ray King") and later led by his wife, Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard. Music occupied a central role in I AM devotional pra…ctice, where hymns and affirmational songs functioned as instruments of spiritual alignment, intended to invoke divine "Light" and facilitate communion with Ascended Masters, particularly the figure of Saint Germain. Blending Theosophy, New Thought, and American esoteric Christianity, such compositions were likely performed in ceremonial services, instructional classes, and regional conclaves that combined ritual affirmation with musical participation. These sheets were part of the movement's broader effort to disseminate spiritual teachings through accessible devotional media, linking printed text, spoken decree, and musical performance within a unified metaphysical practice. The inscription by Edna Ballard adds notable historical significance. Following Guy Ballard's death in 1939, Edna assumed leadership of the movement and became one of its principal public voices, guiding the organization through both rapid expansion and intense federal scrutiny culminating in United States v. Ballard (1944), a landmark Supreme Court case addressing the limits of judicial inquiry into religious belief. Ephemeral musical publications from the I AM Activity are scarce, particularly those bearing direct association with Edna Ballard or evidencing devotional use. No institutional holdings located in OCLC. Small folios, wraps, 5 + 6 pp. Musical scores. Light of My Heart inscribed as follows: "To Blessed Edith / These mean your / complete freedom and / victory in the light / Edna.".
