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 practice, 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.".…
