Guy
Ballard claimed that he had previously been George Washington (who was
the first president of the United States), and therefore Ballard wanted
to return to the White House.
- “This day, I set My Legions into action in your government; in your
city, the head of the finances of the world; to take command and bring all
human beings into obedience to Me!” (pp. 24-25, Dec., 1937, V.)
Of
course, the absurdity is that such wild claims should be found anywhere except
on the inside of a mad house, but in this instance they were seriously uttered
on the outside — and cheered by a hall full of fervidly patriotic Americans.
Encouraged
by his audience’s evident approval for him to take over the finances of the
world, Guy Ballard reached out to take in the Supreme Court of the United
States.
- “I AM the Presence,” said the present George, “which shall act in your
Supreme Court . . . No
longer shall human creation dominate My People! . . . I say to all destructive
forces . . . ‘Now, you shall face me! a Power with which you cannot cope! which
you cannot harm, but which can make you helpless!” (p. 26.)
We
cannot but wonder what the nine sober-minded members of the Nation’s highest
tribunal will say on the day Guy Ballard’s “I AM” formally descends to take
charge of their Supreme Court. Their verdict must surely be that such a thing
is slightly unconstitutional — even for people heaven-bent on “saving” the
Constitution.
Luckily
for our constitutional democracy, Ballard and his flaming “I AM” were in New
York at the time and not in Washington; for in such a determined frame of mind,
with the power of Saint Germain and the Ascended Host back of them, they might
have taken charge then and there!
Mrs. Ballard, one evening at the
Los Angeles class toward the end of a tirade against “vicious” officials in our
government, raised her right hand in dramatic gesture and shouted: “But George
Washington still lives!”
That
statement was followed by thunderous applause, for these people knew their
George Washington. There he was seated on the platform — and his face certainly
should have been red.
A
year or so ago, while the Ballards were in the east, Guy Ballard, his staff,
and some of the other favored ones, journeyed to Valley Forge. There Ballard
and his patriotic band walked over well-remembered ground, so he said, and
explained how it all came back to him — how he prayed for light and guidance
and relief for his famine-stricken, frost-bitten soldiers when his Continental
Army was in winter quarters there.
Later,
in the February, 1939, issue of the “Voice of the I AM,” there appeared a vapid
poem entitled, “WASHINGTON, WE LOVE YOU,” written by Mrs. Ballard. Facing it
was a picture of George Washington at Valley Forge attired in a white-lined
cape that looks like the one Ballard himself wears on the stage at “I AM”
meetings.
Washington’s
birthday is celebrated with fitting and proper observances by this bewildering
family of “I AM-er.” These people, however, for years have worshipped not a
dead Washington, but a living one!
One evening in their hotel suite
George Washington Ballard and the members of his present “staff” were looking
at a picture of the well-known painting, “Washington Crossing the Delaware.”
It brought back stirring memories
to the present redoubtable George. He pointed out how certain of the most
faithful members of his staff helped him to make the perilous journey through crashing
blocks of ice and the raging river.
This
staff member was the man with the oar, that one was the man at the stern, and
so on with the rest of the staff, while of course Ballard himself was General
Washington holding aloft the flag at the bow of the bobbing boat.
That
this painting was but an artist’s conception —and not so accurate at that— seemed
to have been overlooked by the present George and taken as absolute fact.
(This is the first part of chapter 33 of the book Psychic Dictatorship in America, and shows the deliriums of Guy Ballard.)
