Sages and adepts thru-out the centuries have referred to the “I Am”. They may have said it different ways but, this all abiding presence is at the seed of the atoms of our existence. Jesus referred to this. St Germain wrote the “I Am discourses”. The Kabbalah refers to the I AM. Many esoteric discourses refer to this. What you need to know is that it is your source for anything you may need to help you. We are in human form and live in a material world. This world has meaning for us. All we love that is material is here in our world on earth. But, the greater presence is also part of that seed of a memory.
Whatever you connect to as the I AM or whatever you give full intensity to in your thought process is becomes your I AM. Is it the I AM associated with words that are debilitating and depleting? Do you say I am tired, I am depressed, I am in pain or any other I AM that is not what you would prefer ? You have just given that, which you would prefer not to have, more intensity and power. . Of course it is hard to deny pain or sadness or a loss. But using the I AM effectively during these times can be a power source of solace and peace to you. Design an affirmation that is yours. This should be words to turn to that remind you who you are. I AM strength is a good one. But, you must create your own. It is your I AM connection.
You can have pain or sadness but something you have can be given away. Something you are in the deepest essence of your being is yours forever. Do not make something you do not want your power source. Yes, we have spent many years, perhaps many lifetimes, in this type of thinking. The input all around us reinforces this.
Your True I AM
The true “I Am ” is that eternal center that is in each one of us. You have this source but you must find it in your own way. It was there before the power of exterior existence built a layer over it. We can find it again and in that is your true power. Every time you connect to it you effect not only yourself but, the people you come in contact with and your surroundings. This re cycles and returns to you and the cycle gets stronger and stronger into the positive bringing peace in our toughest times. Again, we are in the material world and this world has many challenges attached to it.
Own What You Want To Become
Do not own that which you do not want. Do not make it your total “I AM”. Many years ago there where very advanced civilizations that understood this ” I Am”. They were able to control their physical bodies and their environment.
If you have a serious disease or are dealing with difficult life situations this may seem ridiculous to you. But, within there is something greater then the exterior. I was talking to a personal trainer the other day who told me when he was striving to be a body builder someone taught him how to put his hand in fire and not feel the pain. He could not believe it when he actually did it. At the moment of achievement he knew the power of the mind and his connection to the “I AM”.
There are stories of people achieving amazing feats of strength. They just acted with full intent. In that moment they were the ” I AM”. The affirming of the I AM can help you in difficult situations.
