Unveiled Mysteries

by Godfré Ray King

(pseudonym of Guy Warren Ballard)

[1934]

This is the first book written by Guy Ballard, founder of the "I AM" Activity, onetime

mining engineer, student of Theosophy , and alleged stock swindler. Although most of his

later work was properly renewed at the US copyright office, and is hence still under

entered the public domain.

Unveiled Mysteries describes an encounter with St. Germain (see also The Comte de

Saint Germain ), here described as an Ascended Master, virtually a God, and able to

manipulate the fabric of reality. Ballard describes a series of astral trips in time and space

with St. Germain, to lost civilizations in South America and the Sahara, as well as well-

stocked bunkers of the ancients in the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Mount Shasta.

Ballard and St. Germain revisit past lives as citizens of Atlantis and Mu , and they turn out

to be relatives. A final chapter mentions encounters with entities from Venus, a theme of

later UFO cargo-cults of the 1950s. Connoisseurs of this genre will appreciate Unveiled

Mysteries . The book is written in a breathless style with a more than liberal amount of

em-dashes, Inappropriate Capitalization, and melodramatic plot-points which resemble

golden-age pulp sci-fi. There are incoherent, surreal rants which would not be out of

place at a Church of the Subgenius rally.

The book has obvious similarities with A Dweller on Two Planets , including passages

which were probably lifted directly. And much of Ballard's metaphysics, history of lost

continents, 'Great White Brotherhood' spiel, and so on, is derivative from Theosophy.

However, according to some of Ballard's ex-disciples, plagiarism was probably the least

of his spiritual shenanigans.

One notable successor of the "I AM" Activity is the Church Universal and Triumphant of

Elizabeth Clare Prophet, which also reveres St. Germain, and also attempted to hole up in

the Rocky Mountain area in the 1980s against the threat of nuclear war.

Production notes: because of the huge number of em-dashes in this book, I have used the

Unicode character entity — to encode them, rather than two successive dashes as

usual. This is to reduce spurious line breaks between the normal dashes. Unless your

browser is set to display basic Unicode, these may show up as question marks or boxes.

To remedy this, refer to the Unicode Page .
