Saint Germain Foundation

Ballard was hiking on the slopes of Mount Shasta in California, and claimed that Saint Germain appeared to him and began training him to be a "Messenger".

[4] The Saint Germain Foundation and Press serves "I AM" students all over the world and performs pageants for residents and visitors alike in Mt.

Pageant, on the Life of Jesus the Christ, has been given annually in the outdoor G. W. Ballard Amphitheater, with magnificent Mt.

J. Gordon Melton, an American religious scholar, studied the group and ranked it in the category "established cult".

[6] Also present in New Zealand, the St. Germain Foundation is considered by the writer Robert S. Ellwood as a religious group with theosophical and esoteric roots.
