I AM Teachings of Saint Germain as Given to Peter Mt. Shasta
What are the "I AM" Teachings?
All beings want happiness. In youth we tend to seek happiness in physical sensation, acquisition of things, and ego driven goals that enhance self-image, or we seek happiness in relationship that often produces its share of suffering. Eventually we wonder, “How can I achieve lasting happiness?”
The I AM Teachings, as given to Peter Mt. Shasta, help seekers discover the Divine Presence within, understand the work of Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, and follow a path of spiritual awakening in daily life. On this quest we must seek what is beyond illusion, eternal, and transcends death. Throughout history, there have been those who have discovered what lies beyond.... These great sages and enlightened beings include Buddha, Padmasambhava, Kwan Yin, Lao Tzu, Mahavatar Babaji, Jesus, and more recently Saint Germain, one of the Ascended Masters most closely associated with freedom, transformation, and spiritual mastery. These beings, who finished their earth lessons, ascended at the end of their lives into a higher frequency realm, and are known today in the West as the Ascended Masters. Through their teachings, students can learn about the I AM Presence, spiritual growth, and the path to enlightenment.
To attain your own liberation find the Source of the "I AM," and Meditate on “Who am I?” Gradually you will find this Unlimited Self and be able to bring this conscious Presence into action in your own life. The key to applying this energy in the human world is first to find the Center of your Being, and then invoke the God Presence through the use of the words, “I AM.” The teachings given here by Peter Mt. Shasta will show you how to attain unlimited consciousness and, through the use of I AM Affirmations, bring perfection to the world.

Teachings of the Masters as recorded by Pearl Dorris.
These inspirational teachings on invoking the Higher Self — the I AM Presence — were given to a group of former members of the Saint Germain Foundation. After the ascension of Godfre Ray King, this small group met during the 1940s at a ranch near Santa Rosa, California, to receive these discourses from the Masters. The notes were discovered thirty years later in Mount Shasta in the attic of Pearl Dorris, former director of the San Francisco I AM Sanctuary. She later entrusted this manuscript to her protégé, Peter Mt. Shasta, for publication. For those able to attune to the Inner Self, the power of these discourses is profound.
