Guy Ballard
Guy Ballard was an American spiritual teacher and founder of the "I AM" movement in the early 20th century. He claimed to have experienced divine visions and channeled teachings from ascended masters, emphasizing spiritual self-awareness, positive thinking, and divine guidance. His movement promoted the idea that individuals could attain spiritual enlightenment and success by aligning with higher spiritual beings. While influential for some, his teachings have been viewed skeptically by mainstream society and are considered part of the broader New Thought movement. His work remains a notable example of early 20th-century interest in esoteric spirituality.
