THE METAPHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL TEACHING
OF
EDNA W. BALLARD
I've
already told you something of
Edna Ballard's
Work which included, in the 1920s and 30s, a series of
Radio Broadcasts, in which she focused Her Teaching on 'who and what the
'I AM Presence' of each one of us is'. At this time She often referred
to Our 'God Self' as our 'Diamond Shining Presence.'
Both She and Guy Ballard were being Instructed and Directed
by a number of Ascended Masters, Who were then and are now,
working with many Students of Mr. and Mrs. Ballard as well as other
Souls who have embodied to serve 'God' at this time of great cyclic change.
Beloved Lotus believed the time had arrived to bring to the attention of
humanity, the updated 'Ascended Master Instruction' about the
'Diamond Shining Presence' or 'I AM Presence', as we have now been
taught to call our Highest 'God Self'. She described this 'Diamond-shining
I AM Presence' as the 'Law of Life, Energy and Vibration'.
She shared her 'thoughts' about 'God and man' in her many recorded
radio broadcasts. In one she commented on all the various Ideas
that exist about 'who and what God is'.
She goes on to describe how 'down through the ages humanity has
thought of 'God' as being everything from a kindly old gentleman
sitting on a golden throne, to a great abstract Principle or impersonal
Force working blindly and heartlessly throughout the world'.
Her Sense of the 'Truth of God' as it pertained to the individual
was that each one of us is an Individualized 'Spark of Pure God'. Each
an 'Individualized I AM Presence' coming from out the 'Heart Center
of Infinity', as she liked to call It, clothed in a Garment of Pure Light
Substance.
She explained that our 'I AM Body of God Consciousness', lives in its
own realm. And supplies to the human being, the Life, the Light, the
Substance and Energy that enables the physical body to move, breathe
and have self-conscious Life.
And that this 'I AM Body of God
Consciousness' is the Individualized, High Energy Focus, of the Supreme
Source of all Life (God) and is the Way 'God' governs the Universe.
EWB
Who
wouldn't want to believe that these 'Individualized I AM
Presences'
are WHO WE REALLY ARE in our Highest Spiritual manifestation....out
picturing in the physical realm as the 'Bit of Godness' I call
'Soul.'...that 'Spark of Godness' anchored in each heart.
It is my Heart's Greatest Hope that all may soon know about their
Holy Christ Self and I AM Presence and so, to that end,
I will continue to share some of the many recorded Spiritual Thoughts
of Edna Ballard. As well I will teach some of her simple, practical, effective and
powerful, decrees and affirmations. The following is one of these....
it is one of my favorites. It is an Affirmation that speaks to our
Spiritual Intent and Faith....Body and Soul.
"Mighty I AM Presence
Charge my entire Being and world with ten times more
Peace, Poise and Ascended Master Self-control
than I need to maintain Perfect Balance and Obedience to You
every moment and keep This Balanced Action of the Cosmic Unfed Flame
sustained within me Eternally.
I thank thee, It is done. The 'call' compels the Answer!"
