Activity
The "I AM" Activity started from public lectures about these encounters and grew rapidly in the 1930s. Ballard lectured frequently in Chicago about Saint Germain's mystical teachings, in which America was destined to play a key role. By 1938, there were claimed to be about a million followers in the United States.
The "I AM" Activity describes itself as an apolitical, spiritual and educational organization financed by contributions from its members. Its parent organization is Saint Germain Foundation, with headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
The "I AM" Activity was the continuation of the teachings received by H.P. Blavatsky and William Quan Judge. Ballard was always guided and inspired by the writings of William Quan Judge, who had signed under the pseudonym David Lloyd due to the persecution of his enemies in the Theosophical Society. Then Ballard came in contact with the Mahatma was called Saint Germain. Unfortunately many of the stories written in the books have a touch fanciful imagination of his wife Edna, who proclaimed Master Lotus with his son.
