The Rise and Fall of the I AM Temple: From Mount Shasta to the Supreme Court

Описание: We begin by exploring the strange origins of the I AM movement — a spiritual organization that emerged from the mystical teachings of Theosophy. The story starts with Guy Ballard and his reported encounter on Mt. Shasta, which would go on to shape an entirely new religious movement in America. We then examine the specific beliefs that defined the I AM teachings, from ascended masters to divine presence, and how the Ballard family’s leadership culminated in the historic Supreme Court case United States v. Ballard. Finally, we look at how the I AM movement survives today and what its modern legacy reveals about faith and freedom in America. Stay Curious!
