THOSE BAD BLACK MAGICIANS

 

 

By Gerald B. Bryan

 

We shall now recount how the two Ballards almost singlehandedly rid the country of all its black magicians.

 

Of course, they were aided in this by the “Ascended Masters” and their decreeing bands of students; but it is doubtful if this attacking army of black magicians would have been rendered hors de combat had it not been for the hard-working “Accredited Messengers of Saint Germain.”

 

For five long years the Ballards have been busily engaged in removing black magicians from America and Europe. The original number of these rather nebulous workers of iniquity was never definitely stated, but they seemed to have been paired about fifty-fifty with the “Ascended Masters.”

 

Chaining them up, or “withdrawing” them from the earth, seems to have been the usual course of procedure; but as some of the more powerful ones, it appears, would somehow get right back into circulation again, these would sometimes have to be “consumed” or “destroyed” by well-directed Light Rays.

 

Some of these big, bad black magicians have even been known to play boyish pranks upon the “Ascended Masters!” Said Ascended-Master Saint Germain, on September 3, 1938, at the Oakland class: “. . . Secretly there has been spread in your vicinity an activity which pretends to be the Real Activity of Myself . . . The black magician who has his claws upon it is representing himself to be Me.” (p. 30, Oct., 1938, V.)

 

It must, indeed, have been most disconcerting to Saint Germain, and even a strain upon his reputation, to have some evil black magician masquerading as himself!

 

Then, again, how can his students tell which “Saint Germain” they have gotten hold of, when they make the “call” — the black magician Saint Germain or the Ballard Saint Germain?

 

It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that for a number of years the Ballards and their “Ascended Masters” have been trying to remove these black magicians from circulation.

 

The method of killing them off, or otherwise making way with them, however, has certain difficulties; for we are told by the “Mighty Astrea” himself, who should know, that “those individuals always have PHYSICAL BODIES!” (p. 139, A.M.L., our italics and caps.)

 

Surely, this complicates the matter, for it would appear to be in conflict with the laws of our land to kill these evil doers who have physical bodies, or otherwise “remove” them without fair and proper trial.

 

Nevertheless, these Ballard “Masters,” either not realizing, or, ignoring, that our American Constitution guarantees fair and impartial trial even to confessed criminals, have, reportedly, removed or “consumed” hundreds of them.

 

Even when mandates of the law have to be carried out, the State appoints legally-constituted individuals to take care of the matter. Killing by all others, even by “Ascended Masters,” is frowned upon by our Government, and the penalties run high.

 

At any rate, whatever the legal status of the question may be concerning this wholesale removal of black magicians who have physical bodies, the Ballards and their “Saint Germain” decided to remove these evil doers from circulation.

 

So, at various classes throughout the country, they reported to their applauding students the latest results of this clean-up of black magicians, who were “chained,” “bound,” “consumed,” “taken from the atmosphere of earth,” or otherwise rendered harmless to law-abiding citizens.

 

Sometimes only one; sometimes as many as five; and once the report was nine removed at one time; which latter seems to have been the record in America.

 

In Europe, as might be expected, the score runs higher; as many as thirty being removed in one day.

 

Thus, gradually, but surely, the black magicians of the land were decimated; until at last on one memorable occasion at Washington, D.C., scene of Guy Ballard’s former labors as “George Washington,” Saint Germain gave forth the joyous news that “all but 12 of the black magicians in the United States had been seized and removed.” (p. 1, Dec. 20, 1938, G.L.)

 

The ranks of the once powerful army of black magicians in the U.S.A. had been mowed down to a mere handful!

 

And, not to be wondered at, the audience went wild at such good news, the official report saying: “We leaped to our feet in a tremendous outburst of applause and joyous enthusiasm.”

 

But the Ascended Masters accept no half-way measures. The scattered and tattered army of black magicians was to be completely annihilated.

 

Taking their cue perhaps from Exodus 22:18, “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live,” it was applied with proper effect to the equally obnoxious “black magician.”

 

So “decreeing students,” with victory now almost in sight, continued with even more emotional power and vocal force than before to “work on” these last remaining twelve.

 

It was in historic Philadelphia, city of our constitutional liberties, that another milestone was reached.

 

The Archangel Michael himself (!), wielder of the “Sword of Blue Lightning,” reported on November 15, 1938, that “5 of the remaining 12 black magicians in the United States had been seized and removed, leaving only 7.” (p. 1, Dec. 30, 1938, G.L.)

 

But it was in little old New York that the most effective blow of all was struck. And, quite properly, “Saint Germain” had the honor of announcing it:

 

“Praises be!” said he, like a happy school boy, “the remaining 7 black magicians in the United States have been seized!” (p. 1, Dec. 30, 1938, G.L.)

 

According to official report, the effect of this announcement was tremendous.

 

“The audience jumped to its feet. A tremendous wave of applause broke loose, which carried on and on! . . . Never again would a black magician have activity in America.”

 

But despite these outstanding victories in America, the students were warned that there were still black magicians operating in other parts of the world, and we were urged not to let up on their decreeing.

 

It is not surprising, therefore, that a little later the report came through of some really commendable work in mowing down these last remaining foreigners among the black magicians.

 

We quote the official report of the Oakland class:

 

“When the Class began, there were still remaining on earth, principally in Europe, 36 black magicians.

 

“We determined as never before to call, call, and call to the Great Ones and the Goddess of Light to seize and remove every one of those vicious fiends by the end of the Class.

 

“To our joy one night Saint Germain said that all but 6 had been removed!

“. . . We went into action in our call again.

 

“Then the Goddess of Light, two days before the end of the Class, said that all but one had been removed; and this last one had been surrounded in his lair by a Wall of Blue Flame thru which he could not pass . . .”

 

Thus, “surrounded in his lair,” the days of this most persistent of all the black magicians on earth seemed numbered.

 

And sure enough, two days later, right on schedule at the closing night of the class, the great “Goddess of Light” came forth to report that this last remaining black magician who had been caught in his lair had been completely “withdrawn from the earth!”

 

“We leaped to our feet,” continues the official report of the victory, “as a mighty ovation swept the Municipal Auditorium. It kept on and on.” (pp. 1-2, March 18, 1939, G.L.)

 

Now that this most stubborn black magician and all the others, both foreign and domestic, have been removed or exterminated, we might think the earth would be a better place on which to live.

 

But it seems not so. Wars have followed rumors of wars, and strife, pestilence, flood, hurricane, catastrophe, and blitzkriegs have been our lot since the removal of these black magicians.

 

Yet the “hurling forth” of those marvelous “decrees” continues with unabated force, for it appears there are still other things to be accomplished by these students in order to make the world safe for the “Mighty I AM.”
