Guy and
Edna Ballard plotted to cause the death of many people, and to achieve this objective
they required their followers to pronounce numerous decrees decreeing the death
of those people. And on this matter, Gerald B. Bryan, who
was a former member of the I AM cult, commented the following:
The deadly decrees
The Ballards
have not only by fear and threat and by flattery and cajolery tried to keep
their movement from disintegrating, but they have in their decrees against
individuals called upon the Mighty Powers of Heaven to destroy physically those
who sought in any way to interfere with it.
It seems a
strange and fantastic thing, but for over five years large groups of people
throughout the United States have been meeting together and shouting decrees
which have for their purpose the “dissolving,” “consuming,” “annihilating,”
“blasting,” “exploding,” and “destroying” of certain human beings, or the
political or religious organizations which they represent.
They project
at their meetings what they call the destructive “BLUE LIGHTNING,” analogous it
seems to the “DEATH RAY” of the pulp magazines, and if the reader should happen
to pass an I AM Temple or “Sanctuary,” he would be very likely to hear
reverberating out upon the street the loud shouting of the following decree:
“STOP! STOP! STOP! YOU HAVE NO POWER! YOUR DAY IS
DONE! BE THOU DISSOLVED AND CONSUMED BY THE POWER OF LIGHT!”
In an effort
to show the power of these “Blue-Lightning” blasts, Guy Ballard at the Chicago
class on May 8, 1938, said:
“You five
hundred thousand students have been calling into action the Power of the Blue
Lightning! Do you know what that means? Do you know one day the momentum gained
in that action, if necessary, will be released! and no matter how terrifying It
is to humanity, That Power Shall Be Released!” (“Goddess of Liberty” dictation,
page 2, May 19, 1938, Group Letter.)
In the
Ballard “I AM Decree Book,” copyrighted by the Saint Germain Press, there are
seventy-one decrees intended to meet all their needs, from controlling the
state of the weather to the state of the nation! The book presents a curious
litany of hate, love, and intolerant rule over the life and liberties of
others.
The
following are parts of some of the other decrees which are shouted from coast to
coast:
“SILENCE the
tongue and make HELPLESS and inactive all attempts to interfere with or cast
discredit upon this I AM Instruction! . . . BLAST and annihilate all that would
interfere in any way with this Perfection! . . . Project the Blue Lightning
into every one of these vortices of human discord . . . and EXPLODE, EXPLODE,
EXPLODE every one this instant!”
On the
evening of October 21, 1937, in New York City, Guy Ballard shouted to his
audience the following decree:
“I call the
Angels of Blue Lightning, the Legions of Light to stand guard over your
America; My America; that every person who tries to bring destructive
conditions, qualities or activities into America, SHALL CEASE TO EXIST IN HIS
HUMAN FORM!” (p. 23, Dec., 1937, V., our capitals.)
The above is a decree for death!
It takes one
back in imagination to some aboriginal jungle where some native medicine man
with savage incantations and rites is decreeing the death of his enemy. Books
dealing with witchcraft, sorcery, and demonology are full of this sort of
thing, but we hardly expect it in civilized America. Yet this decree for the
destruction of a human form was publicly uttered on the stage of the
Engineering Auditorium in our own New York City!
If it be
thought this death decree was merely a slip of the tongue made in the
excitement of the moment, the reader should be disillusioned. Such a thing is a
studied and regular activity of this black-magic organization.
In making
these death decrees Ballard sometimes tries to hide behind what he calls his
own “Mighty I AM Presence,” and says that it is his “I AM” speaking and not
Ballard. If so, Ballard’s “I AM” is a dangerous and death-dealing “I AM,” and
most sensible people would have nothing whatever to do with it.
Speaking at
West Palm Beach, Florida, on the afternoon of December 5, 1937, Guy Ballard
stated:
“Ere long
the light shall compel every human being, every human form, to give the
necessary obedience to Me, the Mighty I AM...When It reaches a certain state of
vibratory action, the human form who will not give obedience becomes
DISSOLVED.” (p. 12, Jan, 1938, V., our capitals.)
At Cleveland
on the afternoon of November 14, 1936, “Mighty I AM” Ballard shouted:
“I AM the
Presence that silences and places out of action every person, association or
whatever sends forth destructive activity to My Presentation . . . of this
Light and work! . . . All unfortunate individuals in human form who henceforth
attempt to personally interfere with this Light . . . SHALL MEET the recoil of
their own destructive creation . . . There is no Power in heaven or earth to
stop it . . . I HAVE SPOKEN!” (pp. 3 and 9, Jan., 1937, V., their capitals.)
Most often,
however, instead of hiding behind his “I AM,” Ballard takes cover behind some
supposedly great “Ascended Master,” and has this great Being say and do things
of which not even the most ordinary of human beings would be guilty — and
certainly not a real Master of Wisdom.
It is easy
to discover that the Ballard “Gods” and “Goddesses” are all created in the
image of their maker. We find them without exception expressing the thoughts,
feelings, and grammatical errors of their creators.
Once when
Edna Ballard was reading one of Saint Germain’s (?) discourses, a former school
girl friend dryly remarked:
-
“Edna,
you should not have Saint Germain make the same grammatical errors that you
made in class.”
It is not to
be wondered at, therefore, that the Ballard “lady and gentlemen Ascended
Masters” are just as proficient in throwing the “Blue Lightning” as are the
Ballards. The following threats of death are all taken from the Ballard
literature, and supposedly made by “Ascended Masters”:
-
“Those
who try to oppose this Light are dissolved by it.”
-
“Destructive
individuals shall be searched out and shall leave those bodies.”
-
“I
would dissolve those physical bodies before they shall harm him.”
-
“They
sound their own death knell!”
-
“When
It moves into action everything unlike Itself dissolves and disappears before
It! If that includes some of mankind’s bodies, then shall it be so!”
-
Etc.,
etc.
Openly
revealing a sadistic tendency, “Saint Germain,” at the Minneapolis class
threatened to draw these vicious individuals before him and “see them cry out
in agony.” A little later, he boasted: “We have our own means of causing people
to disappear.” (pp. 26-27, Oct., 1939, V.)
“Mighty
Cosmo,” another of the Ballard fraternity of avenging gods, said at Los
Angeles: “The insane human beings that try to spread doubt concerning the Glory
of these Messengers . . . should be shut up forever . . . no longer may mercy
be shown to those who willfully turn away from this Light . . . better had a
rattlesnake woven itself in among you than the poisonous breath of doubt.
(applause) . . . If they do not stop it, they will sting themselves to death!
(applause)” (pp. 8-12-16-18, Aug., 1939, V., our italics.)
Emphasizing
this idea of destruction of the physical body, Ballard came out on the stage of
the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 6, 1938, and said that
“Saint Germain” would have the dictation.
“I ask you,”
said Saint Germain, “to watch these unfortunate creatures who have tried to
destroy the work of the Messengers and My Work. One of the worst ones in
America is here in your city. Watch the reaction of their own DESTRUCTION. It
must return upon themselves — it is the Law of Life, so the Law will take its
toll. Therefore, I trust BY SUNDAY I shall have still added joyful news for
you.” (p. 17, Aug., 1938, V., our capitals and italics.)
Is it not
evident from “Saint Germain’s” remark of “added joyful news by Sunday,” that he
expected something physically to happen to a certain Los Angeles person within
four days?
At the
following Shrine Class in Los Angeles, held six months later, there seemed to
have been much discouragement about the slowness of action of these “Death
Rays” upon certain individuals. The Ballards therefore gave their chief G-man,
K-17 of the “Inner Secret Service,” additional work to do — and the Chief of
the I.S.S. did not hesitate to say that “physical action” would be necessary.
We quote:
“The
Messenger said to you, I think it was on last Tuesday, that he felt the
attempted opposition to this Great Light had been dissolved. It has on the
Inner action of life but there are still things to be done in the outer . . .
“Beloved
students in the future, do not hesitate to put down anything that tries to
defame This Work. You have My permission! (applause) . . .
“Your Mighty
Decrees have been answered remarkably so far and they will be answered in a
more and more remarkable way; but, since time is an essential in this, We shall
take a part in PHYSICAL ACTION.
“. . . The
unfortunate individuals who . . . have tried in every conceivable way to bring
disgrace upon This Work, watch that disgrace return upon them! (applause) DO
NOT HESITATE TO HELP IT ALONG, beloved students. (applause)” (pp. 12-13, Feb.,
1939, V., our capitals and italics.)
It is evident
from the above that the Ballard decrees for destruction do not work, and that,
therefore, this “Secret Service Master,” who says he has a “tangible body,” is
going to take a part in some “PHYSICAL ACTION.” Whatever it is that he has in
mind, the Ballard students are urged to “help it along” and to “put down
anything” which works against their movement. And the audience, emotionally
aroused with the spirit of the mob, applauds and applauds.
If it was
the intention of this “Secret Service Master” to arouse members in the audience
to take some kind of “physical action” against individuals who were revealing
certain facts about this cult, then it was not altogether unsuccessful.
At least in
the case of the writer it was so, for on the evening of January 13th —twelve
days after–17’s “permission” to students to “put down anything that tries to
defame This Work”— he was decoyed to a dead-end street in Los Angeles, where
several members of a gang were waiting to do him bodily harm. He recognized in
time, however, that it was a hold up, and was able to get away without being
injured; but for a number of days following this experience he received
telephone calls from various members of the gang threatening him bodily harm if
he didn’t “lay off ” the Mighty I AM.
This thing
of inflaming the mind to destructive action against so-called “vicious
individuals” is one of the most dangerous aspects of this cult. Imagine the
possible effect on certain types of emotional, unbalanced individuals when
statements like the following are made. They were made publicly in Philadelphia
on November 15, 1938, by Guy Ballard, but if you can believe it — they are the
actual words of the Archangel Michael!
“Since more
than six hundred thousand people are calling for Me . . . they shall wield the
Sword of Blue Flame in their PHYSICAL HANDS. (p. 7, Jan., 1939, V.)
“Therefore,
tonight, I release to you in Philadelphia the Power of the use of the Sword of
Blue Flame. Mentally, picture it in your hands. (pp. 8-9)
“These
forces that hate so greatly and do all they can to spread discord everywhere,
must be governed; sometimes by FORCE! That is what We shall proceed to do . . .
Therefore, when We tell you that We intend to use FORCE where it is necessary,
We mean just that! We mean the force and Power of Light that can absolutely
SILENCE ANY HUMAN ACTION!... That is why there will be thousands of students in
America in the near future who can say “STOP!” with a force that will FASTEN
THE HUMAN FORM IN ITS TRACKS.” (pp. 12-13, our capitals.)
Imagine making such dangerous promises and placing in
the hands of emotionally-aroused people such imaginary power!
In any large
meeting of this kind there are likely to be present those who are mentally
unbalanced, psychopathic, or perhaps criminally insane. Fired with the ardor of
being able to wield Archangel Michael’s “Sword of Blue Flame” in their
“physical hands,” there is no telling what such individuals might do physically
against any so-called vicious person; for when their decrees of death do not
work on the mental plane of being, the tendency is to go over to the physical.
When such a
mob spirit as this gets loose in America under the guise of religion and
patriotism, does it not constitute a danger and a menace?
AND
WHO DECREED DEATH?
Among other people,
To members who left the I AM cult
Former
students who have had the courage to leave this sect are often publicly
denounced and even demanded that decrees of physical death be made for them.
On the
afternoon of Sunday, July 3, 1939, at a “one hundred percent group” in Los
Angeles, Guy Ballard spoke the following words, saying they were from the great
Ascended Master Sanat Kumara.
“Do not call
anyone again to return to this Light, but rather ask for their liberation from
those bodies that you have chosen to desecrate with cruel falsehoods against
the Messengers of this Light.”
To President Roosevelt and his wife
For five
years the Ballard "Death Decrees" have been hurled forth day and
night in an effort to "blast,"
"dissolve," and
"annihilate" anyone who would interfere in any way with their plans
to bring in a weird sort of government in America — a government of the
"Ascended Masters" and their "Friends."
High
officials of the present government, who might stand in their way of getting
into power, have been especially singled out as their victims in a strange
species of witchcraft.
As proof of
this we now quote from one of their official "Staff Dictations."
These dictations
are very private and secret. The staff members are warned never to reveal them
to a living soul, and to "keep them under lock and key."
The one to
be quoted from is in mimeograph form, dated August 17, 1938, and is headed:
"SAINT GERMAIN'S TALK TO THE STAFF — YOSEMITE."
The
following not is attached:
"This
has not been edited and is for the Staff use only. Please keep it carefully
guarded and under no condition allow anybody to see or even know there were
dictations in Yosemite."
This
particular dictation is largely in the form of Questions and Answers.
We quote:
Question:
"Can't we consider destructive individuals the same as we consider
discarnate entities as to free will?
Answer:
"Yes, don't have any qualms of conscience, dear ones. When an individual
has become totally destructive, it would be a thousand times better to make the
call and have them taken out of the body...
"I
think it would be very great wisdom never to let it be known that you had
dictations here, or even refer to your private dictations under any
circumstances. Then there is not the desire to get hold of them.
"And be
very careful —all of you— in referring to ROOSEVELT or MRS. ROOSEVELT by name
openly.
"Be
sure you don't do it; because you see, these sinister forces if they got
sufficient hold of individuals in the government they might trump up charges to
interfere with this work from the government standpoint."
Question:
"We should be careful what we say in the rooms for somebody might put an
instrument in to get the conversations.
Answer:
"Now, please, every one of the Staff, take that firm positive determined
attitude that nobody can put an instrument in the rooms where you are."
Now, why should the Ballards have been so careful to
warn their staff members not to refer to President and Mrs. Roosevelt's names
openly to others?
Why all this fear about a dictaphone being installed
in their rooms?
Why all this secrecy in s so-called "Ascended Master"
instruction?
We remind
you, as shown by the preceding chapter, that these people for many years have
had designs on the White House, and they want to bring into America a "New
Government." They do not want any governmental investigation of their
cult. And least of all do they want a dictaphone set in their hotel rooms to
record such a meeting as will be described involving the President of the
United States!
Reminding
one of some aboriginal jungle where the medicine men and their fanatical tribesmen
perform rites and incantations to bring about the death of their enemies, we
now record a secret activity of this cult which has taken place many times in
their hotel apartment. It is no strange bit of fiction, nor did it happen in
the darkest Africa or some other aboriginal land where voodoo practices are
still in vogue, but it has happened right here in civilized America —in New
York, Los Angeles, Washington, and in other cities— and the truth if it is
sworn to on affidavit by former members of the Ballard staff.
At night,
following their class meetings, the Ballards and their staff many times would
congregate in secret conclave in Mrs. Ballard's hotel apartment.
They formed
a circle around the room, with so far as possible, a man and woman alternating.
In the
center of the circle would be a stand or table upon which had been placed a
chalice or gilded goblet containing a few odd gold trinkets and coins — put
there no doubt for some magical reason.
Upon this
chalice would be placed a list of names. It was a "black list" —
names of people they wanted destroyed!
Then still
standing in the circle around the magic urn with its list of persons to be
destroyed, they would raise their hands and thrust them rhythmically back and
forth as though pushing something away from themselves. This was supposed to
represent the destroying or cutting power of Archangel Michael's "Sword of
the Blue Flame."
Calling on
their various "gods" and "goddesses," they would then issue
the decree:
"STIFFEN
ON THE CROSS OF BLUE FLAME ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE THIS LIGHT!"
Then again
pushing their hands back and forth with appropriate gestures toward the
"death list," they would call aloud the names of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, and issue the decree to —
"BLAST!
BLAST! BLAST! THEIR CARCASSES FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH FOREVER!"
Many will think that I am making up
what I just told you, but this has subsequently been confirmed by former
members of Ballard's staff who attested to it under oath.
Even the animals
The Ballards
not only required their students to ask for the “liberation” of certain
individuals from their bodies, but it is also their duty, they say, to
“liberate” all animals from their bodies, because: “Animal forms were created
in the beginning by powerful black magicians.” (p.22, October 1936, V.)
We quote:
“. . . It is
the duty of every I AM student to call upon the Mighty I AM Presence and the
Ascended Masters to free all animal life from its discord, limitation and
imperfection.” (p.30, October 1937, V.)
(This is found in chapters
26, 31 and 34 of the book Psychic Dictatorship in America.)
OBSERVATION
This way of acting of the Ballards is aberrant and
shows their profound ignorance and how false their communication was with the
masters and ascended beings.
