My fondest
memories of Beloved
Mama
are those
I have from when I attended the annual summer Conclaves that
were then and continue to be held at Mount Shasta.
These
Conclaves are gatherings of 'I AM' Students from around the
world....and additionally attract many other individuals who
are familiar with the Spiritual Instruction and Information developed through
Mr. and Mrs. Guy W. Ballard beginning in the 1930s.
The
Conclaves began in 1943 and in the beginning were held at various locations
around the country. However in 1948 they were held at Mount
Shasta and with much success. All who attended those early
Conclaves, especially in the beautiful Mount Shasta setting,
were inspired to come back year after year.
In
time the
Saint Germain Foundation was able to purchase a famous old
summer resort in the area known as Shasta Springs and from 1951 to the present time, two Conclaves are held
there each year.
I
always attended what was called
the Youth
Conclave
because I
wanted to participate in
the 'I AM
COME' Pageant.
Beloved
Mama dearly loved the Master Jesus
and
used this Annual Pageant to present a Tribute to Him.
The
Pageant is a beautiful and dramatic portrayal of scenes
that
have come down to us over two thousand years of the
Life
of the Christed Jesus.
Each
year several hundred 'students' participate in the Pageant and the Conclave draws an
audience, world wide, of several thousands.
This
'Youth Conclave' as well as one other developed for the older
students continue to be held at Mt. Shasta each summer and
both have grown in scope.
Anyone can
attend the various performances of the 'I AM Come' Pageant
that is held in August each year. The Mt. Shasta Chamber of
Commerce can be contacted for dates....or the Saint Germain
Foundation. Anyone interested can go 'on-line' and find
details about these Conclaves.
The
picture at the top of this page is one taken of
Beloved
Edna Ballard
at the
close of one of the Pageants in the late 1960s
and is a
favorite picture of the Student Body.
She
placed great emphasis on the importance of America in
the unfolding Scheme of the Ascended Masters.
In
the picture above she
stands by the Flag of the United States of America, paying
Tribute not only to Beloved Jesus and Those Who served with
Him, but to the Master Saint Germain, Who guided the early
development of America and guides the Destiny of America
still.
The Master
Saint Germain is the Guiding Light of the
Incoming
Aquarian Age for America and
for the whole
world. He gives
His Service under the Seventh Ray,
stressing the need for all to give particular attention to the
Violet
Ray.
It
was Saint Germain
Who asked Mr. and Mrs. Ballard to go forth and
teach the
use of
The Violet
Consuming Flame....to teach
that the
Violet
Fire is the only way in Heaven or Earth that has
been
made available for the individual's use,
allowing
humanity to free Itself of certain dark, invisible
substance
it may have gathered about itself over the
ages....substance
generated from misqualified energy that
binds
mankind to the Earth and its surrounding low
vibrational
planes. Mankind cannot free itself of the
results
of its mistakes without the use of the
Violet
Consuming Flame.
The
specific Work
of the Violet Fire is that of a Transmuting Activity. All
impure Energy can be
purified, forgiven and raised into a More Spiritual Vibration
if the individual will call to God Almighty and to his or her
'I AM' Presence and Christ Self, asking that this
Purifying Flame be blazed into and through all the Energy of
his or her entire Being and affairs, doing this several times
a day.
In this way, little by little, all Energy misqualified with unbridled
and imperfect
thoughts, feelings, actions and spoken words can be cleansed, recharged and requalified with all the Consciousness and
Qualities of the Christ Self.
Beloved
Lotus and Godfre, now ascended
continue
to serve 'God' in One of the Higher Octaves,
continuing to work with Saint Germain and Others of the
Ascended Host and the Legions of Angels in a never-ending
Effort to raise the Vibration of the Energy of the Planet as
well as the Energy of all Souls here.
Their goal
is to make the Resurrection of each Life stream a Reality,
allowing each human/Soul Partnership to
raise Itself into the Ascending
Spiral as quickly
as possible without 'passing through the
change called death'.
