Chart of The I AM Presence

History of the Chart

When Mr. Ballard lectured throughout the United States, in the 1930’s, he would always start off the evening with an explanation of the “Chart.” The purpose of this was, of course, to familiarize the audience with the new concepts of the Electronic Body of the I AM Presence, the Causal Body, the Holy Christ Self, the Protective Pillar of Light and the Transmuting Violet Flame, all necessary for making our spiritual development.

Beloved Jesus said, in a dictation given in 1935, that the Chart of the I AM Presence was the most important knowledge given since his ministry ended, 2,000 years ago. This diagram impresses and compels the outer consciousness to accept the truth of the fact that the Presence actually beats the hearts of everyone. It withdraws the power from human creation and extends it to the I AM Presence.

The Electronic Body

The upper figure in the chart represents the Electronic Body of the I AM Presence. The Electronic Body is the individualized focus of God. It is our permanent self, which never dies. Our I AM Presence was created in the image of our God Parents. They directed a Threefold Flame from their hearts, into universal light substance, and around that flame coalesced our glorious body of light, the Electronic Body.

This body is composed of millions and millions of electrons, grouped together around a central core. These electrons follow the pattern of our own lifestream, whether it is a rose, a Maltese cross, a lotus flower, or some other form. From the Electronic Body pour forth rays of light, constantly, by which it renders service in the universe. It knows only perfection.

The Causal Body

The concentric circles of color around the Electronic Body form the Causal Body. The colors of these circles correspond to the colors of the seven rays. Starting from the center of the causal body we have the blue and the yellow, next the pink, the white, the green, the ruby with golden radiance, and the violet. These are the colors of our Causal Body, in that order.

The Causal Body contains the “Accumulated Good” of all of our embodiments.

The Holy Christ Self

The Christ Self is the provision which the I AM Presence has made to give us assistance in the human world. The Holy Christ Self knows what we are doing, and whatever our needs are, it takes those needs to the I AM Presence.

The Holy Christ Self is positioned between the Electronic Body of the I AM Presence and the physical body. The silver cord extends from the heart of the Presence, through the Holy Christ Self, down to the heart of the physical body. It is what we call a “step down transformer.” It regulates the amount of energy flowing through the silver cord.

The Protective Pillar of Light

Around the physical body is the Protective Pillar of Light, also called “Tube of Light.” This is formed by the I AM Presence, at the call of the individual. As the expansion of the Light in the cells takes place, the radiance of those cells adds to the forming of this Pillar of White Light. That is how we should visualize it — white light, so invincible and impenetrable that not even a bullet can penetrate it. It should be visualized nine feet in diameter.

The Violet Flame

From the Chart of the I AM Presence, you can see that it flows in, through and around the physical body, and we call it forth, from the realms of light, to three feet below us, to blaze up and around our physical body.

The use of this Violet Flame is imperative. It is the primary means by which all undesirable accumulation can be forever dissolved, and its cause and effect annihilated. It is the only means by which you can become free from the wheel of birth and rebirth. There is no human being on Earth who is an exception to this mighty Law. Anyone who has ever accomplished the ascension, has had to use this transmuting Violet Flame to dissolve his human creation, even beloved Jesus.
