To the Beloved Master Jesus, with all the gratitude we know how to express, do we offer this Volume of His Discourses from 1949 through 1968, in print for the first time. These Dictations were given before hundreds of UI AM" Students through the Beloved Messenger Mrs. G. W. Ballard, Beloved Lotus. As she thanked Him for His Words on May 4, 1967, she said: "Beloved Jesus, thank You for everything you have done for this world and for every Life Stream that has passed this way. May we stand by Your vii viii DEDICATION side, abide within Your Own Heart's Flame, and pour forth to this world whatever compels the Ascension for all, and as soon as possible." Record CD 1324 TRIBUTE he year 2000 marks the threshold of the third millenium, and the close of two thousand years since the Advent of Jesus the Christ. The Beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain recognized that world event: "Down through the ages one Great Life Stream after another has come into embodiment in this world, and poured the Light and the Love that has lasted over a period of perhaps two thousand years, poured It to humanity, poured the Miracles, poured the Healing, poured the Assistance, poured the Il- lumination, and then, withdrawn and taken the Ascension." Record CD 1380; Cassette 60446 Beloved Jesus said December 5, 1932: "My choice of experience two thousand years ago, was to set the example which every individu- alization of God would and must sooner or later follow. ... At the time and after My Ascension, I saw the immensity of the Radiation I would be able to pour forth to my beloved brothers and sisters ix X TRIBUTE upon the Earth, from the sphere in which I had become fitted to dwell. I wish to say to you in all Truth: Every individual who will send his conscious thought to Me with the desire to be raised above the limitations of Earth or of his own creation and will live accordingly, will receive every Assistance from Me that is possible to be given, according to the steps of growth in consciousness which he at- tains from time to time." The "I AM" Discourses, Volume 3:222 On August 22, 1937 He said: "Remember! and I say this to the whole world: All of you who have loved Me, remember, Saint Germain has brought forth the continuation of that which I started two thousand years ago." The Voice of the "I AM," 41.12:8 And on Sept. 3, 1952: "As My work through the centuries, and especially through the last two thousand years, has gone on in Its ever-expanding Cosmic Action, I wish you to know and understand tonight that I am still guarding My Work of long ago! Therefore, 'I AM' the Guarding Presence of all who have sought Me and have sought the Light through Me. 'I AM' the Guardian also of the Beloved Saint Germain's Work TRIBUTE xi to set mankind Free! I am not going to see My Work fall into ruins, and His Work is not going to fall into ruins! "When I said, 'I AM' the Open Door that no man can shut! I meant that for Eternity would My Life's Flame stand as an Opening and as a Magnet to draw mankind into the Octave of the Ascended Host! . When I said, 'I AM' with you always! It was because I knew that I would stand and hold this Door Open-because no man can shut It!" Record SG 968; Cassette 60330 Beloved Sanat Kumara reminded us of Beloved Jesus' Great Attainments since His Ascension: w. as you remember the Words of the Master Jesus and you use them with a sincere Call to Him ... so shall you learn much, and become aware of the Mighty Gifts He can still bestow, and the Greater Height of Power to which He has attained since the morning of His Resurrection and the Moment of His Ascension. For two thousand years He has gone on in the ever-expanding Glory of His Cosmic Service to Life, ever increasing the Power of His Activities of the Sacred Fire and His Love to the Earth."
