18 T H E " I A M " D I S C O U R S E SByBELOVED D A V I D LLOYD*DISCOURSE IApril 18, 1937BRIDGEPORT, C O N N E C T I C U TBeloved Students of America, the culmination of theages is at hand! I was in the physical body similar toyours, searching, searching, searching as you are, asmany of you have been, possibly for a longer periodthan I searched; and yet, as the Victory came to Me,so shall It come to you.If you could imagine—try just for a few moments—My position in having been told in India when I wasthere with My father, who was on government business, that on a great mountain in North America Iwould find a Man with a Crystal Cup who would assist M e to the Ascension. Imagine, one starting out tofind this place in a great country like America, wherethere are great ranges of mountains. Think of it—andthen to find that mountain, not even knowing the Stateit was in.After My father passed on and I began that search,I came to your City of New York, transferring fromthe Bank of England a part of my account, and that1

2THE "I AM" DISCOURSESsearch began. Dear Ones, can you imagine what itmeans to go forth in, shall I say, a strange world, for Ihad not been in America before. You know the Englishmen—sometimes they do not care to travel, and ithad not been My privilege to travel much, but I wentforth on that great mission. Think of it, PreciousOnes, T H E G R E A T E S T MISSION ON T H EFACE O F T H E E A R T H — Y O U R ASCENSION!After long years, when this good Messenger wentout to meet Beloved Saint Germain on the side ofMount Shasta, and I had finally come closer andcloser each month to that Focus where My Freedomwas to come, and that day when I suddenly came uponHim and in His kindness He offered Me a drink ofwater, in His Hand came the Crystal Cup. Can youimagine the feeling that surged through My Being?Now Dear Hearts, there are those in the Worldwho have thought that This Experience of the Ascension upon Mount Shasta was a figment of His imagination. Let Me tell you, it was M I G H T Y , REAL,and I was there in the physical body like yours. Thenthe Great Law of His Presence was released, untilthese arms were a blazing Light you could not lookinto, and He took My hands. As I ascended and let goof His hands which grasped Mine, then as My feetwere perhaps fifteen feet above His head, that Transformation from the human into the Divine took place

DISCOURSE III3within My body. Do you think I did not know everydetail which took place, and how I marvel at the almost viciousness of many of mankind that have refused to believe That Experience was Real and True.I stand here tonight in your midst, declaring with thePower and Authority of an Ascended Being, which Ihave become, the Truth of That, for your blessing andbenefit; and let no one in the World stand before Meand tell M e that That Experience was not true, whichI experienced in gaining My Freedom from thehuman limitations and into that Ascended Body inwhich I shall always remain!Dear Hearts, for once, in the Name of God, your"Mighty I A M Presence," put out of your feelingworld all doubts of the Power of your "Mighty Presence" to do this identical thing for you, not only to setyou free from human limitations, but also give youyour Freedom in the Fulness of your Ascension,which is as practical as anything in the world. That iswhy, Precious Ones, Saint Germain has asked Me tocome to you and convey to you, if possible, My Feeling which I experienced in that Great Achievement—the Ascension; and I want you to know, Dear Hearts,that everything I did, you can do!Mark you, Dear Hearts, when I contacted this Beloved Messenger on the side of Mount Shasta, so faras I know, My Light was no more expanded than

4THE "I AM" DISCOURSESmany of yours today. Will you not feel that, DearHearts, and realize that your "Mighty I AM Presence," the Power of the Universe, the Wisdom of theUniverse, may be able to do identically the same thingfor you today which It did for Me then.In the experience of Mr. Rayborn, who made HisAscension afterwards, do you not see, Precious Ones,that the evidence is before you of that which BelovedJesus told the World two thousand years ago and leftthe Example for mankind; but because the Reality ofHis Achievement was clothed with misunderstandingof mankind, most of mankind did not even credit It asever having taken place.Today, owing to the Great Cosmic Light comingforth, Beloved Ones, and this Beloved Saint Germain,it has made it possible for mankind to have this Transcendent, simple Understanding of the "Mighty I AMPresence," which even children can apply and receiveresults. Then you, Precious Ones, will you not takehold of This Understanding of the "Mighty I AMPresence"? Do not look for results, but call the"Mighty I AM Presence" forth into action until everyvestige of your human limitations is dissolved and consumed, and you are set Free.Believe Me, Dear Hearts, when I tell you that onlyas mankind willingly and joyously call the "Presence"into action to use that Violet Consuming Flame, to

DISCOURSE III5pass from their feet up through them, from underneath their chairs, if they be sitting down, or theirbed, if they be lying down, call the "Presence" to passthat Violet Consuming Flame through them and dissolve every discordant thing from them, then they willbe Free. But unless they are willing to do that, there isno chance for them to be Free; because, PreciousOnes, every one of mankind have drawn about themthrough every embodiment through which they havelived, much discordant accumulation which is heldabout them; and as you see the Radiance about the"Presence" in the Chart, which is the good accumulated around them through the centuries, so aroundthe human form are the discordant qualities, whichthe human must dissolve before it can make theAscension.Now Dear Ones, today you have that InfinitePower in your Call, not only in the use of the VioletConsuming Flame to clear your world of all discordant qualities, but to take command of your mind andbody, and through Its Mighty Outpouring of Radiance, set you Free, even to the Accomplishment ofyour Ascension. So I want you to know Dear Hearts,if you will, as I flash these Words before this goodMessenger, that I am speaking to you tonight as oneof you, Dear Hearts, one who so recently stood in aform like yours. Today I stand in the Ascended Body,

6THE "I AM" DISCOURSESwholly Free from Earth and its limitations. DearHearts, as the Great Divine Director has said in HisDictations, there are hundreds in America today who,if they could accept the F E E L I N G which I am pouring forth to you tonight of My Achievement, C O U L DA C C O M P L I S H T H I S SAME A C H I E V E M E N TIN T H I S E M B O D I M E N T !Beloved Dear Hearts, whether you have been accustomed to it or not, you have lived in hundreds andperhaps thousands of embodiments the same as this.We, who have attained this Freedom, know This to betrue; and Dear Ones, if you can accept your "MightyI A M Presence" as the Giver of all Life and Intelligence and call It in and through you, there is only oneresult that can follow—your Freedom and Perfection.Unless you can make that Call and continue It untilevery vestige of your limitations is dissolved, you cannot make your Ascension, and you will go on, embodiment after embodiment. Until you buckle down anduse the Violet Consuming Flame and call this MightyEnergy into action, you will never be Free!It is within the reach of everyone of you, PreciousOnes, and can you imagine My Great Love, MyGreat Desire to give you That Assistance, when Iknow how long My search was? Not only that, butsince My Freedom, I have seen, that in other embodiments, I had searched and searched, and that is why Ithad to come in this one—My Freedom!

DISCOURSE III7Now today I say to you, every one here, who of youknow what your "Mighty I AM Presence" could dofor you at any given moment? Tell Me, any of you!Who of you know what that Great and "Mighty Presence" could do for you? I tell you, there are those sitting in this room, who, if they will so decree it andstand by it, will make the Ascension in this embodiment, and I mean it! So Precious Ones, My humbleeffort is to convey to you the Feeling of the Truth.I say to you, Precious Hearts, those precious Books,Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence, and The "IAM" Discourses, study Them as you never did anything in your life! They are LIVING L I G H T , Theyare L I V I N G T R U T H , and Words that will carrythat Quality into your feeling world, and cause It toact there unto your Complete Freedom from everyhuman thing. There is not anything in the worldtoday that will carry you, Precious Ones, so powerfully, because those Words not only carry the Qualitywhich They convey, but the Power of Saint Germain'sRadiance! It is unparalleled with anything that hasever gone forth in the World up to date!These are Mighty Truths which I am conveying toyou, Precious Ones. Do not let your human conditionsand affairs cause you to withdraw from the GreatLight that This Understanding of the "Presence" conveys to you. If you do, the fault is yours, PreciousOnes. No one is coerced. No one is dragged by the

8THE "I AM" DISCOURSEShair to accept This, but It is offered with a Power ofLife unparalleled in the history of mankind. Thosewho can accept It, apply this great Energy, and practice the Power of the "Presence," will have not onlythe Freedom from all problems and limitations, buttheir Eternal Freedom—their Ascension.This is the second time that it has been My greatprivilege to speak to the Students, and words fail utterly to convey My Joy. For within you, within yourLight—many of you—I see that Full Power of Acceptance and that Mighty Truth that has gone intoaction in your world, and will act there and producemighty results for you. Will you not accept It withMy Love to act there in your feeling world and produce those mighty results for you? Remember, Precious Ones, in all This Knowledge of the "I AM," the"Mighty I AM Presence" which Saint Germain hasbrought forth, no one is urged. Every one is leftwholly free; but We, knowing that Joy and Freedomwhich It brings to mankind, do you wonder that Weplead and plead and plead with you as the Messengershave for more than two years, that you may acceptthis Great and Mighty Truth and apply It in yourworld and have your Freedom? It is quite up to you.No one can apply It for you, Dear Hearts. You can begiven Great Assistance, there is no question aboutthat; but to gain your Mighty Victory, you must take

DISCOURSE III9the reigns in your own hands, call your "Presence"into action, and have that Freedom which It brings toyou alone through your own application. Of course,mankind has received immeasurable Assistance, butyour Victory can only come through your own application of the "Mighty I AM Presence."Now notice, Precious Hearts, every step you gain inthe Acknowledgment of your own "Mighty I AMPresence," every Victory that you win, never has to beredone. It is there forever! You cannot recede from asingle thing accomplished in the Understanding ofyour "Mighty I AM Presence." Is that not far different than that which we have understood and appliedbefore, and have had temporary results? So today, aswe apply It and gain one Victory after another, youwill find those things never return again, but you goon and on from one Victory to another, and finally,the Ascension and Freedom from all limitations.In this busy Western world of mankind today, hascome this wondrous, wondrous Mighty Victory!Think of it, Precious Ones! When that Great Masterfrom Venus at the Royal Teton, as described to you,said that no longer should the Western world have tolook to the East for the Wisdom, for right in your ownHeart's midst, the Radiance of God, the "Mighty IAM Presence," through the Beloved Saint Germain,has come to you. The most Wonderful Thing ever has

10THE "I AM" DISCOURSESbeen brought to mankind; and to the degree that theBeloved Ones of America can accept It, and call their"Mighty I AM Presence" into action with great determination, so shall they too stand where I standtoday in the Freedom forever!Precious Ones, I wish there were words by which Icould illustrate to you what the feeling is going onwithin you; even as I speak to you, and this MightyEnergy is charged into your feeling world, so am Iable to see the activity which is going on there. DearHearts, the Joy, the marvel of Its Accomplishmentand that which I know you can accomplish, and I sayit as one Heart to another, APPLY, APPLY, APPLYT H I S K N O W L E D G E of the "Mighty I AM Presence," Dear Hearts, and allow Me, if you will, to assist you.I have returned to serve with this good Brother inthe Ascended Body which I now have. I seem invisibleto you, but I am very tangible here, I assure you.There is this point I want to cover in detail with you.Mankind throughout the ages have believed anythingthey do not see to be intangible, to be unreal. That is amistake. If you will observe and follow Me for a moment. In the things that are most powerful in your usetoday, are the things that are invisible to you, are theynot—your radio, your electricity, the power that actsto produce the results in your world, the most power-

DISCOURSE III11ful is invisible. While I stand invisible to most of you,I am none the less tangible, as one day you will findout.Now the Ascended Masters, Dear Hearts, as Theydid with this good Messenger, They can when Theychoose, come forth in the Visible Tangible Body, justas tangible and visible as yours in the physical body, abody just as Tangible, wholly Perfect and Beautiful.So today I say to you, Dear Hearts, ere many yearsare over your head, you will see One or more or perhaps several of the Ascended Masters standing beforeyou in Tangible Bodies, as tangible as yours; then theWorld will come to understand the Great Truth andthe pleading which the Messengers have given forth tomankind, that they may understand and have theGlory of Freedom from human limitations and beFree forever!It is one thing, Dear Hearts, to solve your problems, and as you solve one, ten more appear; but whenyou, in the Acknowledgement of your "Presence,"raise into the Octave where there are no problems,isn't it a far more desirable activity? So today, mankind are in a position where they can, in the Acknowledgement of their "Presence," by calling It into action,have these Miracles manifest in their lives, in theirworld of activity.So I say to you, Dear Ones, if you will earnestly

12THE "I AM" DISCOURSESapply, call your "Mighty Presence" into action withdetermination, I will be able to give you every Assistance the Law of your Being permits; for as I just saidto you, YOU W I L L F I N D O N E DAY I AM VERYT A N G I B L E ! After this Great Victory having beenwon, can you imagine, I want to get back into action;and to everyone who will call to Me, I will give everyAssistance that is possible, because in the AscendedState, no one is limited in any respect. I want you tofeel that! I want you to know and understand that nolonger shall mankind remain in the limitations of theirown creations.I want to say to you, Dear Hearts, don't fail to callyour "Presence" into action to use the Violet Consuming Flame. W I T H O U T I T YOU C A N N O T GAINT H E VICTORY; and why? Because every humanbeing has accumulated about them these discordantqualities which have to be consumed out of theirworld. You cannot produce that Violet ConsumingFlame by your physical effort; and there have beenthose in the East that have spread the idea that it wasdangerous to use that. Don't be deceived! DearHearts, you could use the Violet Consuming Flame onan unborn infant with perfect safety, because your"Mighty I AM Presence" has to produce That, foryou cannot do it with the human; therefore, That isPerfection, and consumes only that which needs to be

DISCOURSE III13consumed, and cannot and does not consume anythingbut the imperfection.As you will use That, Dear Hearts, then you willfeel the results in the lightness of your body, the freedom from the pressure you feel today, and go forthVictorious in the Freedom of your "Mighty I AMPresence."Beloved Ones, remember, mankind has sought forcenturies for This Understanding, and only now hasIt been released to the mass of mankind for the firsttime, and the Messengers went forth a little more thantwo years ago—think of it!You, today, who have the privilege of practicingyour "Presence," the greatest privilege ever in anyage, and that how by your earnest determined Call,you can dissolve every discordant thing about you, notonly in this embodiment, Dear Hearts, but all thatwhich has been accumulated through the centuries.Think of it! If it were just in this embodiment, itwould be a wonderful achievement; but think, in thePower of your "Presence" and the use of the VioletConsuming Flame, you can dissolve every discordantthing you have ever drawn about you. Notice, becauseyou have not known that, that accumulation of thecenturies hovers about you, your human creation, andno one can free themselves from it until they understand and call the "Presence" into action, and use the

14THE "I AM" DISCOURSESViolet Consuming Flame! Therefore, Dear Hearts,will you not use This with all sincerity, and for theHappiness, Blessing and Freedom which comes fromIt.I wonder, Precious Ones, do you know that therewas a mighty reason for the Messenger coming intoyour midst tonight? Oh, you Precious Hearts, do yourealize that these things don't just happen. I wish theLaw of your Being permitted Me to tell you just allabout it, but I may not say more about that, but thereis a mighty reason.Oh, Precious Ones, will you not make yourselves—each one of you in the Call to your "Mighty I AMPresence"—a Pillar of Light moving everywhere yougo in your environment. Let the Radiance of your"Presence" pour forth in and through your mind,body and world in the atmosphere about you, and seehow quickly people will begin to feel and say: "Howwonderful you have become, what has brought thisgreat change?" Then is your opportunity to say: "Ifyou care to li
