Godfre is known in the Teachings of the Ascended Masters as the ascended master who was embodied as Guy W. Ballard, the messenger of Saint Germain. Through his mission, he brought forth the teachings of the Great White Brotherhood, the Law of the I AM Presence, and held the focus of the Christ consciousness for the planet until his ascension in 1939. His wife and twin flame, Edna Ballard, is now known as the Ascended Lady Master Lotus. Guy Ballard wrote under the pen name Godfré Ray King, and he is remembered by many students with affection as “Daddy.”

A Messenger of Saint Germain

In the early 1930s, Saint Germain contacted Guy and Edna Ballard and trained them to serve as his messengers. Through them, the I AM Activity came forth, bringing renewed attention to the I AM Presence, the Christ Self, the violet flame, and the laws of spiritual freedom. The major works brought forth under the pen name Godfré Ray King include Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence, and The “I AM” Discourses.

For students of the Ascended Masters, Godfre’s mission is deeply connected with obedience to God, spiritual discipline, and the restoration of the soul’s awareness of its divine identity. The Ascended Master Encyclopedia states that Godfre now ensouls the consciousness of God-obedience.

Godfre’s Connection to Denver

Denver holds a meaningful place in this history. According to the Ascended Master Encyclopedia, in the summer of 1930, Godfré first met Daniel Rayborn at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver after receiving a letter of introduction to him from Saint Germain. Daniel Rayborn is also recognized in the Teachings as an ascended master.

This connection gives Denver a special place in the unfolding of Saint Germain’s work in America. It links the city not only with outer history, but with the inner path of discipleship, preparation, and the service of the Great White Brotherhood.

Godfre, Lotus, and the I AM Activity

Guy Ballard and Edna Ballard founded the I AM Movement under the direction of Saint Germain. Edna Ballard used the pen name Lotus Ray King and is now known as the Ascended Lady Master Lotus. Together, Godfre and Lotus served as instruments through whom Saint Germain released important teachings on the I AM Presence, cosmic law, and the violet flame.

Through the I AM Activity, Saint Germain’s dispensation of the violet flame was released in a new way for the twentieth century. The Ascended Master Encyclopedia notes that the master released this dispensation through Guy and Edna Ballard.

Denver and the Call of the I AM Presence

The teachings brought forth through Godfre continue to point the soul back to the reality of the I AM Presence — the individualized presence of God within each one. This teaching is central to the path of self-mastery, freedom, and union with the Divine.

For seekers in Colorado, the story of Godfre in Denver reminds us that spiritual history is not abstract. It unfolds in real places, through real people, and through moments of divine appointment. The meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel becomes more than a historical detail; it becomes a sign of Saint Germain’s careful direction of his messengers and his work for America.

Reflection for Today

Godfre’s life invites us to consider the meaning of obedience to God, spiritual courage, and the power of the spoken Word. His mission under Saint Germain helped open the door for many souls to understand the I AM Presence, the violet flame, and the path of ascension.

For The Summit Lighthouse Study Group of Denver, this history offers a meaningful connection to the spiritual work anchored in Colorado. It reminds us that Denver has been touched by the footsteps of messengers, masters, and students who have served the light of the Great White Brotherhood.
