Godfre, born Guy Ballard in 1878, was the founder of the I AM Movement, a pivotal spiritual movement of the twentieth century. His life changed in the early 1930s when he encountered the Ascended Master Saint Germain on Mount Shasta, California. Saint Germain imparted deep spiritual wisdom, introducing Godfre to the "I AM Presence," the Divine Source within every individual. This knowledge, along with the power of affirmations beginning with "I AM," became the foundation of the I AM Movement, empowering individuals to unlock their spiritual potential.
Now an Ascended Master himself, Godfre continues to guide humanity. Under the pen name Godfre Ray King, he wrote Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence, sharing Saint Germain’s teachings. He also learned of his past lives, including as Richard the Lionhearted and George Washington. As the Hierarch of the Golden City of Amerigo in Spain and Portugal, Ascended Master Godfre’s teachings emphasize God Obedience and the integration of the I AM Presence, helping others achieve Ascension. His mastery is symbolized by his association with the Gold and Violet Rays.
