EVENING TALK AT THE SHRINE AUDITORIUM

July 6, 1936 – by Donald Ballard

There are two things which I want to touch upon. The first is something which has

occurred to me, and, I believe, occurs to everyone who has been brought up according to

the modern scientific explanation of the outer world’s activities. The second thing is

something of great National import. That of which I am going to speak is something that

occurs to the young people particularly and others, who have had contact with the modern

scientific world. It is concerning the Ascended Masters’ ability to come and go great

distances quickly and to make their bodies pass through solid substance.

We know that all the apparent miracles, such as the Ascended Host and those nearly

Ascended produce, are only the operation of great Natural Laws. For instance, when an

Ascended Master passes through physical substance, solid walls, or transport his body

eight or ten thousand miles within five minutes, we know these things are not miracles.

There is no such thing as a miracle. When properly understood, we see that so-called

miracles are only produced by the use of certain laws which, as yet, are far beyond what

the physical scientist has contacted. Nevertheless they are as exact and immutable as the

laws which govern wireless transmission and X-ray.

Let us consider what happens, when the Ascended Master’s body pass through

physical substance. To understand this, let us look at its structure. We know, all physical

substance is composed of minute particles called atoms. These particles are so small a

million or more may be present in one pin head, and yet, infinitesimal as they are, they in

turn are composed of particles yet smaller. These particles are arranged in patterns, similar

to the way our planets are arranged around our physical sun.

At this point, we shall depart from the theories of the outer scientific world in our

examination of the structure of physical substance. Here again, the Ascended Masters upset

theory and guess-work, with Their Infallible Knowledge of the Great Laws of Nature.

Contrary to the general opinion, the central nucleus of the atom is composed of a

very light refined type of particle which is called the electron. Around this nucleus,

arranged like the planets around the sun, are particles of a very dense nature which as yet

have not been named. These dense particles are many times heavier than the electrons

which are the nucleus of the atom and are what composes the denseness of our physical

bodies. They are that which makes all physical substance seem dense. These tiny particles

are separated by a tremendous distance in relation to their own size, so we see physical

substance is not dense at all, but only seems so because our senses are amazingly crude.

We know, that the Ascended Master’s Body is composed only of electrons or less

dense particles of which the structure of physical substance is made. Therefore, we see how

a body composed of this refined substance may pass unobstructed through physical

objects. For the sake of a crude expression, the clearance between the particles which

compose this substance o the Ascended Master’s Body and that of the atomic structure of

physical objects is so great, that one may pass through the other without any obstruction

whatever.

Then, we can see what happens to our bodies at the time we make our Ascension.

The dense particles, which compose the weight of physical substance, are thrown off and

we are given a body of these electrons which are infinitely finer and more flexible and

much more desirable as a vehicle, in which we may operate.

Another example of how crude our senses are, and how physical substance is not

dense as it seems, is the fact that mercury, which is considered one of the most dense of

substances, and the only metal which occurs in liquid form at ordinary temperature, will

flow through bank vault steel, like water through a sieve at a pressure of 100,000 pounds

per square inch.

Another thing which we may explain, so that it takes away all sense of miracles, is

the use and the effect of the Light Rays. It matters not what their color or activity may be,

they set up wave impulses akin to those sent out from the radio transmitter, or the X-ray

tube.

We can and do set up these impulses in the octave of the vibratory spectrum, of a

frequency very little higher than that which the scientist has contacted so far. I say “very

little higher”, because already in the laboratories of some of our great scientific corporations

to-day, there are machines which are capable of recording these impulses and we get a

definite physical effect. A few years ago, this was infinitely beyond anything science had

contacted.

To understand exactly what happens, let us look at what we know to-day as the

vibratory spectrum. From 32 vibrations per second to approximately 18,000 we have

audible sound; that is, sound which we are able to hear with our ears. As the frequency of

vibration is increased, we pass on through conventional radio waves into the Infra-red or

heat waves. From there, we pass through a comparatively small portion of the spectrum in

which we see visible Light.

As we pass on beyond the point of visible Light in the spectrum, we contact the

Ultra-Violet the X-ray, the Gamma Rays of radium, and still higher into the Cosmic Ray,

which is the fastest vibratory frequency that science has recorded so far. However, slightly

above and beyond this is a part of the vibratory spectrum, in which we set up impulses by

our thought, feeling, spoken word and visualization of Light Rays.

Therefore, we see that when we send the Blue Rays of Divine Love forth, to consume

the undesirable substance in a sick person’s body, we, through sufficient calling to our “I

AM Presence”, are releasing the power to set up a wave of energy or rate of vibration, that

goes forth and accomplishes that result, for it is just as effective in consuming an

undesirable substance in the body, as the Ultra Violet Ray is when used in certain

conditions by the medical profession, to consume undesirable substances within the body.

When we use these activities and when the Ascended Masters produce so-called

miracles, it its only the operation of Great Cosmic Laws that create and control vibratory

action, extended far beyond anything of which the scientific world has as yet dreamed.

Therefore, we also see that the time is close at hand when outer physical scientists, through

their own experiments will be compelled, to admit every word which Saint German and

Others of the Ascended Host have spoken to these students of the I AM.

We see concretely how this shall take place. We see concretely the necessity for

controlling thought and feeling; for every moment we are sending out these impulses, and

whether Perfection or imperfection manifests in our lives depends upon how many of these

impulses are constructive and how many are destructive.

All of you know, that the present hour is a time of such great importance and such

great National crisis, that it ranks with the winning of our Independence, and the removal

from the face of the planet of the last trace of barbaric slavery. We are now in the midst of

proving, that “The Light of God never fails”. Shortly, we will be again called upon to select

those who are to sit in the chairs of authority in our Government for another four years.

When the officials of our Government were selected the last time there was not this

great group of 200,000 students of the “I AM” throughout the country, who could give

assistance to the Ascended Host, in selecting those who would serve the Light. Let us go

forth and use that power, that scepter of authority which is in our hands now; and call the

“Mighty I AM Presence” into action to select those who serve “The Light of God that never

fails”, Saint Germain and the Ascended Host to guide the destiny of our Government.

We students of the “I AM” have seen the effect in our National affairs and those of

the world, of the use of our scepter of authority, backed by the “Light of God that never

fails”, in wiping out many destructive claws of the sinister force. The Ascended Host

designed our original form of Government for America and brought it into manifestation.

We, the students of Light, have the power to wipe forever from our borders every claw

of the sinister force. Let every one of us call, NOW, unto Saint Germain and the Ascended

Host to manifest Their Divine selection of those who are to sit in the chairs of authority in

our Government. As they take office and pledge themselves to support and defend the

Constitution of the United States, let us give assistance by seeing them armored within that

Great Sphere of the Blue Lightning of Divine Love, so that they may be forever sensitive to

the commands of the Ascended Host, and non-recordant to all discordant suggestion and

activity.

Let us put such an armor of Light around them, that they are impenetrable to any

attacks of the sinister force. Thus, we have the greatest opportunity before us that any

group of citizens of the United States has ever had, to bring into manifestation quickly a

Golden Age such as has never been known in the history of the world. Let us do this with

all the power and Love of our hearts. In gratitude, let us render this service to Saint

Germain and those others of the Ascended Host, who have seen fit to release unto us a

knowledge and blessing that will bring into our lives such happiness, as is beyond the

comprehension of the mass of humanity. Let us offer this as a prayer of gratitude to the

Ascended Host.

It is fitting that there should be some way through which we could offer gratitude to

the Ascended Ones, for the blessings we have received, rather than to be eternally asking

for more. Not that we cannot ask for anything good that we desire, but from the Love of

our hearts, let us devote some of our time to giving gratitude to Saint Germain. I ask this

and I ask that we put our whole strength into bringing forth this Perfection, which the

Ascended Host have decreed shall come into outer manifestation within the borders of our

America.
