Baird T. Spalding first coined the word Ascended Masters in 1924

I believe he wrote "The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East". I haven't read these cover to cover but I have read much of what he wrote."

Also, what is interesting to me is that Peter Mt. Shasta is mentioned at this site too. I met him originally in the 1970s at Pearl Dorris' house who was a student originally of Mr. Ballard in the 1930s. She had a world wide following at meetings at her house in the 1970s and 1980s until she moved from Mt. Shasta to Yreka and retired. Peter is a good friend and has even stayed in my house on the coast near San Francisco. He is a very interesting gentleman and reminds me a lot of Saint Germain himself in some ways the way he operates in his life. He has also been to India and observed the Asian mysteries first hand because he started out in life very wealthy and so was able to travel the world and learn many things along the way.

Also, I have always wondered whether Pearl Dorris is the Pearl in "The Magic Presence" too? She was amazing and the Ascended masters would come into her home and from my perspective everything would turn Gold in her home which to me is usually a sign of Jesus and his angels when you experience this first hand. It was always a blessing to visit her and her meetings in her home in Mt. Shasta then and meet her students from all over the world.  Walter Cronkite was just one of the many very famous people who visited her in Mt. Shasta from around the world.

The term ascended master was first used by Baird T. Spalding in 1924 in his series of books, Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East (DeVorss and Co.). Godfre Ray King (Guy Ballard) further popularized this concept of spiritual masters who had once lived on the earth in his book Unveiled Mysteries.[3][third-party source needed]

Adherents of the ascended master Teachings hold that the beliefs surrounding ascended masters were partially released by the Theosophical Society beginning in 1875, by C.W. Leadbeater and Alice A. Bailey, and began to have more detailed public release in the 1930s by the ascended masters through Guy Ballard in the I AM Activity.[4] However, theosophists maintain that the concept of an ascended master is an exaggeration and corruption of the more modest theosophical concept of "Master of the Ancient Wisdom".[5]

Guy Ballard said his work Unveiled Mysteries was dictated to him by the ascended master St. Germain.[3][6] Other Ascended Master Teachings are contained in The Bridge to Freedom (1951),[7] Mark Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet's The Summit Lighthouse (1958) (reorganized as the Church Universal and Triumphant in 1975),[8] The Temple of The Presence (1995),[9] The Hearts Center (2005), the I AM University (2004), and various other organizations such as The White Eagle Lodge (1936) and the Aquarian Christine Church Universal (2006).[10][11]

Peter Mt. Shasta, who claims to be channeling the ascended master Saint Germain, has been releasing the ancient teachings in a more modern and simplified form, emphasizing the teaching that the masters can work with those who have an open heart and the desire to benefit humanity.[12]
