There is no person, place, condition or thing that warrants your ever being disturbed

Excerpt from a

St Germain I AM Discourse

By St Germain

There is no person, place, condition or thing that warrants your ever being disturbed, with the ever- present "I AM Presence" beating your hearts each moment and Who is ever All-powerful. If one will correct himself on these discordant feelings, he will let the "Great I AM Presence" flood his world with all Perfection. If the individual will not correct himself, 

how can he ever gain the Eternal Victory?

The "I AM Presence" is the All-power of the Universe to make this correction. Let the "I AM Presence" flow until It washes everything clean. When your attention is fixed firmly upon the "I AM Presence," which you are, it is as though your body were a fine sponge through which this Pure Energy is pouring, cleansing it of all imperfection.

If you will stop the discord, the "Stream of the ‘I AM Presence' " automatically cleanses away all impurities. You thus have an Unlimited Power in your hands to intensify your right commands. Even from the scientific standpoint, knowing that the cells of the body are renewed in less than a year, if the discord could be shut off for one year, the mind and form would express Eternal Youth and Perfection.

Either from a sense of false pride or something, humanity will not face the Truth that the cause is within themselves. The habit of always blaming the other fellow for what has happened to you is the thing that blinds you to the Truth and prevents Self-correction.

A wonderful illustration of this is in the beautiful child-form. Until the child is old enough to begin to register the discord about it, its body is beautiful and expresses Perfection. This Perfection of form would always be maintained if there did not enter into the consciousness of the child the discord of the outer world. There are those who would say to me, "What about the child that is born sickly and disturbed?" In most cases, that is a condition brought over from the preceding embodiment, or in rare cases, where there is intense discord between the parents, this may be intense enough to register upon the child; but if you will notice in cases of that kind, as the child begins to grow and develop, it will show less and less of that disturbance. That is absolute proof the discord was not of its own creation, but was imposed upon it by the parents, because the soul was strong enough to rise out of it.

In this particular point, one should understand the amazing conditions of suggestion by which individuals are constantly surrounded. For instance, let us take the environment and association of individuals who have been in the habit of going together. In that friendly 

association, each one is susceptible to the suggestion from the other. If it be discordant, then that association will be broken up sooner or later by one grand row.

However, seventy five per cent of the individuals moving about in the outer world are not aware that they are taking on suggestion—either from association, environment, or conditions out-pictured before them.

The correct attitude of the student who becomes aware of his "I AM Presence" is immediately to take the firm stand that:

"‘I AM' invincibly protected against any imperfect suggestion."

Thus one can build about himself an atmosphere which will immediately repel all suggestions that seek to intrude wherein there is a destructive element.

I think it necessary to call your attention to your old copy books which said:

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

There is no way to gain Victory and Dominion over limitation except to keep at it until you accomplish it. If you question your accomplishment, you are postponing your Victory that much longer.

Those students who really begin to understand that in the recognition and use of their "I AM Presence" they have the Universal Power at their command, then they know it is impossible to fail in their application, because the more they use It, the more of Its sustaining Power they have.
