My parents were in this church. My mother from 1934 I believe when she would have been 16 in 1935 when her father brought her into this church. Then my father married his first wife and her parents were into this church and so he read the first '"I AM" Books (Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence and the "I AM Discourses) when he chartered a yacht with his brother and first wife and went to Tahiti in 1939 with them for a couple of years until the war started in the Pacific. Though my father wasn't in Pearl Harbor when that happened his 1st wife was working at the main Honolulu Newspaper and then got on a large ship and sailed back to Seattle where he was then.
I was born in 1948 into this church and my parents were married in 1946. So, I remained in this church until I was 21 years old. We lived in Seattle until 1952 and then San Diego County until 1954 and then my parents were in Charge of the Los Angeles "I AM"Sanctuary from 1954 until 1960 when I was 12 years old.

The Saint Germain Foundation is a new-age spiritual organization headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, that acts as the official home for the "I AM" Activity.
Its doctrines, which blend Christian, Gnostic, and Eastern traditions,
emphasize meditative practices, mantras, and a reverence for "Ascended
Masters".
History and Teachings
- The Origin: The movement's philosophies stem from teachings received in 1930 by Guy Ballard. While hiking on Mount Shasta, Ballard claimed the Ascended Master Saint Germain appeared to him, initiating him as a "Messenger".
- The Messengers: Guy and Edna Ballard published these experiences in a series of books and spearheaded the movement, which had hundreds of thousands of followers by the late 1930s.
- Core Practices: The activity focuses on spiritual empowerment through the invocation of the "Mighty I AM Presence" and the use of the Violet Consuming Flame.
- Discussions: Because the teachings contain unique eschatological interpretations and unique community dynamics, Reddit users frequently discuss the movement and its history in online forums.
Local Presence and Retreats
- Mount Shasta Retreat: The Foundation maintains a significant retreat and facility just north of Dunsmuir, California, on the grounds of the historic Shasta Springs. They also operate a K-12 school in Mount Shasta.
- International Facilities: The organization operates hundreds of "I AM" Sanctuaries and Temples across the globe, with notable facilities in Schaumburg, Illinois, Capitol Hill in Denver, Colorado, Seattle, and San Diego.
