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, onetimemining engineer, student of Theosophy, and alleged stock swindler. Although most of hislater work was properly renewed at the US copyright office, and is hence still undercopyright, someoneneglected to file the renewal paperworkfor this book, so it hasentered the public domain.

Unveiled Mysteries

describes an encounter with St. Germain (see alsoThe Comte deSaint Germain), here described as an Ascended Master, virtually a God, and able tomanipulate the fabric of reality. Ballard describes a series of astral trips in time and spacewith 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 AtlantisandMu, and they turn out to be relatives. A final chapter mentions encounters with entities from Venus, a theme of laterUFO cargo-cultsof 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 resemblegolden-age pulp sci-fi. There are incoherent, surreal rants which would not be out of place at aChurch of the Subgeniusrally.The book has obvious similarities withA Dweller on Two Planets, including passageswhich were probably lifted directly. And much of Ballard's metaphysics, history of lostcontinents, 'Great White Brotherhood' spiel, and so on, is derivative from Theosophy.However, according to some of Ballard's ex-disciples, plagiarism was probably the leastof 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 inthe 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 theUnicode character entity

to encode them, rather than two successive dashes asusual. This is to reduce spurious line breaks between the normal dashes. Unless yourbrowser is set to display basic Unicode, these may show up as question marks or boxes.To remedy this, refer to theUnicode Page.
