Invocation
Thou Mighty Infinite Presence Thou All Pervading Healing Presence! Descend and Do Thy Work.
Thou Mighty Intelligence! Give forth thy confidence and Strength! Fill the mind and body of each one with Thy Radiance Presence!
Discourse
Let us be conscious of the Healing Radiance filling this home.
The great need today is the healing of the nation and of individuals.
As the individual is given assistance to the outpouring of the electronic energy through the mind and body and feeling filling every cell, so in an expanded degree is the nation treated likewise.
The nation is a great body of individuals and of nature's creations. We have the same power, being the individualized Presence of God.
Then we know, " I Am Everywhere Present” and when my consciousness takes on this expansion, I know its energy leaps into action everywhere, in the cells of the body of the world as well as in the body of the individual."
We must come to know that the active presence of God, All Powerful, is everywhere present; then there's not a single nook no corner anywhere that the active presence of God is not; that this Active Presence combines all human creation and consumes instantly everything of inharmonious and undesirable nature.
With the use of the Electronic Belt surrounding the individual, he must understand that he can make this an absolutely invincible protection; through its protection, Divine Wisdom Acts, repelling everything to our conscious action that shall not be taken into the system, and that this Omnipresent Wisdom and Intelligence is always prompting us to refuse acceptance of anything into the system, either through feeling, thought of food that would in any wise disturbed its harmonious activity.
The Natural Activity of the Currents of Life play everywhere like the play of a searchlight. The outer activities should at all times be an invitation to the receptivity of the Currents of Life, which are pure cosmic energy in which are ever flowing through the atmosphere of the earth.
It is true that where there are conditions too dense for it to penetrate, it goes over all or under them, so to speak and finds its way over just the same. Every individual, since the beginning of this year, should come to understand that he is walking and moving constantly within the reach of mighty healing currents. The power of Cyclopedia, the Sacred Love Star, and the rays from the Golden city, currents of Healing Force of tremendous power are consciously directed to the atmosphere of the earth. These you understand, by their very nature, being the energy of God in action, I've therefore Self Sustained.
The consciousness in the individual of their presence will enable him to contact these Rays any time. Students who have a feeling of patriotism and who wish to help the nation should take the stand that these healing currents which reach not only to individuals, but carry into conditions, environment and all official places like an Intelligent Flame, and are doing a work for the protection and uplift of the children of Earth not heretofore set into such powerful action since the creation of this planet.
The more individuals become truly and sincerely conscious of this operation, the more can they become mighty messengers of assistance in this most unusual were.
To the conscious manifestation of the mental forces back of the communists is the sinister influence with which we are dealing in the outer world's activity. Those who wish to be true messengers will meditate upon this idea until they have grasped the full import of it.
They will use their conscious effort, knowing that these Currents of Consuming Electronic Energy consciously directed to the atmosphere of the Earth cannot be interfered with; and that in every sincere, conscious effort of the individual -- in his desire to give us assistance -- there will be a consciousness of this energy that he has not hitherto possessed.
Sometimes individuals of such a nature that while wonderfully kind and willing, the sudden consciousness that they need to let go of certain kinds of activity is a sort of shock to them. I would say to these individuals that the Divine Intelligence within each one will cause them to naturally let go of the things not in accordance with this Great Presence at every step of the way when it is necessary.
In order for the individual to consciously let go of a thing he must have something that he feels a strong to which he can anchor, estimates become conscious of this the confidence and strength will come to them to take this step.
As I suggested was before, I would consciously, and least once or more a day, stand on the floor and charge the home with this pure electronic energy -- keep it charged so that God's very presence will keep out of the home, who, thought, any kind of presence, and everything that is not in accordance with the desires here.
I would suggest that whenever you find someone is coming (visiting you) you take the consciousness: "I Am the Pure Radiance of Divine Love enfolding these individuals, and this Garment enfolds them when they come and when they leave." When you are conscious of this you clothe them and they will wear this Garment into the home and out of it and for them it will be a sustaining power.
Those who come into your home are deserving of assistance, and this will enable them to receive the full assistance they desire and you will love to give
No matter how great the knowledge attained, we at no time ever have the right to force either the knowledge of the discipline upon anyone. Only as students apply what they hear and receive can they ever know the Reality.
When you say “I AM”, you acknowledge the power that breaks down all barriers and conditions of opposition. This human self is just like a starving lion in the jungle. It would tear anything to get what it wants to eat. In this state, the human consciousness will tear its best friend into pieces to get his own way.
In any astral element there is that human desire element which, unless one shuts his mind entirely to the astral world will constantly find himself interrupted in a good decision -- because he has left that door open to a force far more subtle than is ever found in the outer world. Many think there are good forces in astral world. I tell you, no good force ever comes from the astral world. Any good force that there must come through it but it makes its own tunnel of light in which it comes.
In the first place what makes the astral world?
There is only one place where the undesirable creation can find a hold, and that is the next step to the human activity, which is the Astral Realm. This realm of Astral activity has within it all undesirable creation of cumulative through the centuries. Therefore it is easy to see at once that no good comes from any contact with the Astral Realm. IT HAS NOTHING IT IT WHATSOEVER OF THE CHRIST.

"New" I Am Affirmations
Every hour of everyday we are bombarded with vibrations that seek to take our consciousness away from the affairs of our Great God Presence.
As I was in Bahia last week, I mistakenly left my "I Am Discourse" Study.
However, I did remember some of the affirmations I Am listing below.
These affirmations are very powerful, beginning with the first one which I believe was one of Beloved Jesus The Christ's favorite. "I Am the Resurrection and the Life"
Try to make a meditation or prayer connection daily to your I AM Presence using them. I try to connect hourly, especially starting my day and before going to bed. I will post an excerpt from Chapter Five of the "I AM Discourses" later this week.
Lovingly Atiba

Broadcast Receivers and Transmitters
Broadcast Transmitters
We are broadcast transmitters and we are broadcast receivers.
As humanity moves further and further into the evolution of the I AM Presence we are becoming more and more aware of the power of thought.
How often we fail to see that negative emotions ideas and thoughts are toxic to our physical body as well as our relationships our personal affairs and our businesses
Science is now beginning to understand the power of thought.
There have been many instances where mystics and yogis, and meditators have been hooked up to various types of electronic devices to measure brain activity.
It is clear now that science has begun to catch up with the idea that man can actually control his thought activity.
So we as aspiring Saints, as spiritual beings, we can begin to now understand the power of God's Presence as we manifest our reality day-to-day.
It is not necessary anymore for us to continue to be slaves and victims of negative thought patterns, negative emotions, toxic ideas and influences by the mass media.
On Guard
I AM the Divine Presence guarding my mind and my activities.
Whenever we have thoughts that are unwelcome, that are unneeded, unnecessary and not progressive we can change these thoughts simply by affirming what we want and not what we don't want. (Specifically the using and showing devotion to our “I Am Presence”
Often in metaphysics and various types of therapy we are told to embrace the negative emotions and “move through them.”” This is not without some intelligence for quite often the negative emotions must be looked at and must be examined so that we constantly remind ourselves to be very conscious of self correction as a daily activity.
Radio broadcast Transmitters and Receivers.
We must begin to understand and entertain the idea that we are always broadcasting and receiving ideas from our environment, and internal dialogue, as well as our inner self so that we can begin to change these ideas by first turning off and negative manipulation by the media and guarding ourselves against negative influences. Distinguishing what is the “”Presence of God”” takes a consistent devotional practice to universal spiritual principles of love that a personal relationship with the Presence that is intuitive in nature.
The sinister force is well developed and well trained into being able to create negative emotions and negative forces within our minds, especially that of doubting our God given abilities and authority through the Great I AM.. So we must constantly find invigorating material that constant reminds us to contact the I AM Presence to give us intelligence, direction, energy, love, and peace. Plus by making this technique a part of our daily regimen we create a momentum that allows us to effortlessly draw and attract abundance, love, and peace and to create the type of life that we envision for ourselves.
Creation
We are always creating. We are individual manifestations of God; so we have the authority to speak and envision, and to call into existence the things that do not currently exist.
We must stop allowing outside influences to cause us to become depressed, or to cause us to become misdirected. Plus we have the power through the spoken word through the written word through our visualization to create the types of energies that are positive that are uplifting and are healing.
There are vibrational frequencies that are connected to every thought that man has.
So what frequencies are you choosing in your daily life? Are you choosing hatred, jealousy, in the, lack of any form?If you are choosing these emotions then you can change them by affirming different positive ideas
I AM the Governing Presence of my body, my mind, and my personal affairs
I AM the energy you use in every activit.y
I AM the Christ energy that directs all my activities.
I Am the Law of Forgiveness and Christ Love that transmute all enharmonious activity back to my first embodiment.
I AM the Divine Intelligence that governs all my personal business financial and relationships.
These are just a few of the affirmations we can use to begin to create the type of momentum that allow us to overcome the sinister force that is causing us to be under a cloud of negative emotion, a pall of sickness, despair, and hopelessness.
In closing I implore you to remember that you have within one you one of the greatest truths being presently revealed in the history of mankind. You have a God Presence within you that is a direct manifestation of God,
This is your I AM Presence. Take time daily to get quiet and connect with your I AM Presence.
Know that in this time the healing of mankind has been given this divine energy to help us evolve back to our true destiny. Pure love, pure light, pure peace, pure abundance. Wholeness, Ascension

The I AM Discourse Chapter IV, Rock of Truth (Removing Doubt)
INVOCATION, Thou Mighty Consuming flame of God! We bow before Thy Mighty Majestic Power!
We rejoice in Thy Direction Wisdom! We rejoice in thy Presence in the heart of every of God's Messengers that go forth to direct His Service and Energy to the blessing of mankind. We give praise and thanks that Thy Presence has changed the tide of things and that Thou art as always, The Mighty Governing Intelligence.
We give praise and thanks that Thy Consuming Fire and Thy Creative Activity dwelling in the heart of every one of us are ready to be loosed by the conscious desire into action. We give praise and thanks that Thou are the Consuming Presence everywhere; that "I AM'' here, and " I AM" the Power that makes all things clear. ""
"I AM the Majestic Presence, "I AM" the conquering Power, "I AM" thy Mighty energy, Thy Consuming Flame each hour.
The Discourse
The creative fire that I AM is the flame of God.
His Master presence, anchored in the heart of every one of God's children.
While in some it is but a spark yet with the right touch, that spark can be fanned into a creative fire and consuming flame.
This Mighty Presence, God, in its maybe activities, is the omnipresent activity that all may use without limit if they only will dismiss from their recognition the outer appearance, which is but an appearance and take the attention away from that which has bound them through in his years.
Today, the scatter of power and authority stands in the atmosphere before the single eye of every advancing student. At first they may reach up mentally and take this capture authority, using it in this way, until before they are scarcely aware of it they will find it tangible and visible in their use at times.
It is I promise that those seeking the light again received this dominion. When we go to a footpath in the forest, we know that we may return the same way if we wish, but we must take the decision. So after hundreds of years of search in the out of will power and authority, we find that anything that seems to be so is but shifting sand and tomorrow it may be gone.
By the rejoicing of acceptance of your God dominion, you may step firmly upon the same foundation of the rock of truth which is God, and from which no outer disturbance can ever shake you -- once you know from actual experience.
Students of truth wonder why they cannot hold a firm anchor in their decision to hold fast to the God presence, which is their dominion. They do not analyze the outer expression to see what is lurking there to cause disturbance, question and doubt; but for those who would take the authority which is bears and probed deep into their motives, it would be so easy to pluck out the tears from the golden grain and soon be freed from the disturbance that causes them to doubt themselves and the very presence of God which beats their hearts.
When students will be honest enough with themselves and their God, the I AM presence, to pluck out by the roots anything that is causing disturbance within them and be able to feel the mighty light and radius of the Great God self, they will require little effort in losing the "Great I AM presence" in love and intelligence -- which is an ever expanding power, and assurance, whatever they may be -- in order to hold there feet firm upon the rock of truth, which is one of the Great jewels in God's kingdom. Its dazzling radiance would enfold them upon the slightest invitation.
All students of today! Hold fast to this Mighty Presence to beat your heart, whose life flows through your veins was energy flow through your mind! You will have free will and can qualify and blessed to your perfection or imperfection. Always remember that through your failure to turn to this Mighty Presence by which you find you have created in harmony and this order you must give yourself ample time to gain the full recognition of this mighty power and give it full activity in your life. Do not become impatient because things do not work out as rapidly as you would like them they can only work according to the speed of your acceptance and the intensity of your feeling.
The mighty energy that surges through your mind into your body is a pure electronic energy of God the mighty I AM presence." If your thought is joyously held upon your God self as a source of your being in life, that pure electronic energy continues to act unabated, uncontaminated by human, discordant qualification; but knowingly or unknowingly, if you let your thought begin to gather from the discord by which it is so often surrounded you change the color and quality of this radiant pure energy.
It must act, and you are the one who choose how it should act to you. Don't ever think you can get away from this simple fact. It is an immutable law of God and no human being can ever change it. Students must understand and maintain this attitude if they wish to make steady progress. I tell you beloved students, you may rage and doubt and fear and rebel all you please add self correction; but it is the open door to your mighty illumination and freedom from all limitation in the outer world of activity.
We rejoice in Thy Direction Wisdom! We rejoice in thy Presence in the heart of every of God's Messengers that go forth to direct His Service and Energy to the blessing of mankind. We give praise and thanks that Thy Presence has changed the tide of things and that Thou art as always, The Mighty Governing Intelligence.

The Path
The Path, By Paulo Coelho
1] The path begins with a crossroads. There you can stop and think what direction to follow. But don’t spend too much time thinking or you’ll never leave the spot. Reflect a lot on the choices that lie ahead, but once you have taken the first step, forget the crossroads for ever or else you will always torture yourself with the useless question: “did I take the right path?”
2] The path doesn’t last for ever. It is a blessing to travel the path for some time, but one day it will come to an end, so always be prepared to take leave of it at any moment. However enraptured you may be at certain landscapes, or scared whenever you have to make a great effort to go ahead, don’t get too used to anything. Neither to the hours of euphoria, nor to the endless days when everything seems so difficult and progress is so slow. Don’t forget that sooner or later an angel will appear and your journey will reach an end.
3] Honor your path. It was your choice, your decision, and just as you respect the ground you step on, that ground will respect your feet. Always do what is best to conserve and keep your path and it will do the same for you.
4] Be well equipped. Carry a small rake, a spade, a penknife. Understand that penknives are no use for dry leaves, and rakes are useless for herbs that are deep-rooted. Know also what tool to use at each moment. And take care of them, because they are your best allies.
5] The path goes forward and backward. At times you have to go back because something was lost, or else a message to be delivered was forgotten in your pocket. A well tended path enables you to go back without any great problems.
6] Take care of the path before you take care of what is around you. Attention and concentration are fundamental. Don’t be distracted by the dry leaves at the edges or by the way that others are looking after their paths. Use your energy to tend and conserve the ground that accepts your steps.
7] Be patient. Sometimes the same tasks have to be repeated, like tearing up weeds or closing holes that appear after unexpected rain. Don’t let that annoy you – that is part of the journey. Even though you are tired, even though certain tasks are repeated so often, be patient.
8] Paths cross. People can tell what the weather is like. Listen to advice, and make your own decisions. You alone are responsible for the path that was entrusted to you.
9] Nature follows its own rules. In this way, you have to be prepared for sudden changes in the fall, slippery ice in winter, the temptations of flowers in spring, thirst and showers in the summer. Make the most of each of these seasons, and don’t complain about their characteristics.
10] Make your path a mirror of yourself. By no means let yourself be influenced by the way that others care for their paths. You have your soul to listen to, and the birds to tell what your soul is saying. Let your stories be beautiful and pleasant to everything around you. Above all, let the stories that your soul tells during the journey be echoed at each and every second of the path.
11] Love your path. Without this, nothing makes any sense.
