Book excerpt: Unveiled Mysteries is a mysterious tale, indeed. In 1930, Guy Ballard claims to have met a god-like man on the trails of Mount Shasta located in California. As Master of the Seventh Ray, Saint Germain was said to appear clad in violet and amethyst wherever he goes and brings with him the purified essence of ritualism, hierarchy, and order. It was this magnetic personality that Godfre Ray King writes about encountering one summer morning during a walk around the base of Mt. Shasta, one of the energetic centers of the world. As the story goes, Saint Germain proceeded to instruct Godfre Ray King, then Guy Ballard, in all manner of esoteric and occulted subjects from travel in the astral plane to the lost history of Atlantis and Lemuria. He educated the astounded hiker on the Law of Life and the unitary faith of the all-pervading Godhead. He explained to him the power of the mind in manifestation, and the role of consciousness in determining one's reality.
