Revelation

Ballard visited Mount Shasta, California in 1930, where he met another hiker who identified himself as the Count of St. Germain. Mr. Ballard's experiences take place within the larger North American mountain ranges. Ballard provided details of his encounters in a series of books Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence, using the pen name "Godfre Ray King."

Guy Ballard, his wife Edna, and later his son Edona Eros "Donald" Ballard (1918-1973), it is believed, became the "sole Accredited Messengers" of Saint Germain. Their teachings form the original nucleus for what are today called the Ascended Master Teachings.
Activity

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.

The "I AM" Activity describes itself as an apolitical, spiritual and educational organization financed by contributions from its members. Its parent organization is Saint Germain Foundation, with headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
The "I AM" Activity began after Mr. Ballard's alleged meeting with Saint Germain, an Ascended Master, whose experiences are outlined in Volume One of the Saint Germain Series of Books, "Unveiled Mysteries", published by the Saint Germain Press. The year was 1930 when Mr. Ballard met Saint Germain according to the SaintGermainFoundation.Org website.
Deaths of Guy Ballard and Edna Ballard
Guy Ballard died on 29 December 1939 and Edna Ballard died on 12 February 1971. A new Dispensation was given so that the Ascension could be gained (in the finer body) without taking the physical body, like Jesus had done. The two Ascended Master Bodies were already prepared for Guy Ballard and Edna Ballard as noted in "Unveiled Mysteries" by Godfre Ray King. Godfre Ray King is the pen name for Guy Ballard. It is reported both Ballard's Ascended upon passing out of the physical body. Godfre Ray King has also given Dictations through Mrs. Ballard (pen name is Lotus Ray King), and are available from the Saint Germain Press. Given the "I AM" Activity, old occult laws have been replaced including the teaching of Theosophy that, to become a Master, one would have had to ascend upon his death to the fifth level of Initiation.
