I AM THAT I AM.
Any method
of thinking, apart from the conscious knowledge of possessing now the
ChristMind, to which "all things are possible," cannot deliver the
full peace of God, nor the true, as well as lasting satisfaction to be found in
the Master's statement, "I AM the Way: I AM the Truth: I AM the Life."
"I will instruct and
teach thee in the way which thou shalt go." Psalm
32:8
Therefore, come out from
among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the LORD. Don't
touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you. 2 Corinthians 6:17
Examine yourselves to see if
your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is
among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5
Seek the Kingdom of God above
all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33
Now you can say,
"I know that I AM! I know that my
health, my harmony, my perfection, my happiness, and my abundance of every good
are not located in my body or in my affairs, but only in my real Self-myself
awake-the I-Am-Self. Here abide my unalterable, undefilable health and
wholeness; my perfect spiritual senses and their distinct activities; my ever
conscious awareness of Reality as all there is; and my complete experience of
every good thing.
When you make a declaration, affirmation or statement of
what you wish to do, or what you desire to bring to pass, remember this
paramount fact: spiritual things must be spiritually conceived and
brought forth. Therefore, when you think, do not feel that it is a human mind
you are using with which to bring about some special good, but as the man of
God, the I-Am-Self, know that you are thinking with the Christ-Mind and you
will inevitably bring forth what is rightfully yours. Then your Word, spoken as
by the divine Mind, is your authority that it shall not return to you void, but
shall go forth and multiply your good. This was Jesus' authority, and likewise
may be yours. You are consciously at-one with the divine Mind to the degree
that you see, feel and express it, and believe in no other. Acting in the
knowledge that this Mind is all-knowing and to it all things are revealed,
state or declare your wish or need, and leave it with this Mind to fulfill, or
bring to pass.
"I
AM the real Man, at-one with the Father," is the cry of the soul singing
its way into the full realization that "All power in heaven and in earth
is given unto Me."
To repeat: The Mind of Spirit should be considered the only Mind,
and you should relate yourself to it by your recognition of it as the real and
the true, and hence the very Mind which you are using now with which to
think your good and true thoughts. You should also see and acknowledge that this
Mind is Power, is Light, is Wisdom and is Love which never faileth.
How am I to know that what I wish is right and best for
me to have in my present experience? You cannot really know unless you are aware that you are
associating yourself only with the divine Mind, and so from the standpoint of
this Mind your desire must be right. This is why, first of all, you should
identify yourself with that state called the Christ or the I-Am-Self, for he is
ever one with God, and to him all good is possible.
We are to raise our eyes (vision) to Heaven, Reality. We
are to get a new and true viewpoint. Here on earth is where you should, and
can, multiply your good. Here on earth, with spiritual awareness and right
vision, is where you may bring to pass your heart's desire: for the spiritual
ideas,-Wealth, Abundance and Prosperity,-stand back of all your desires for
supply, and so may be brought into visible form to the degree that you see them
as they are, acknowledge and accept them.
You are not intended to experience death, but only life.
You are God's perfect man exactly where you stand: you need only to feel this,
and live in harmony with it, and you will begin experiencing it." Truly
until one comes to see himself as he is, he will never leave a far country of
dreams and fables. When you come to yourself, you see who you are, and seeing
this you naturally see what body you have, what universe you live in, what
power you make use of, what Mind you utilize and what Life you are living,
feeling and experiencing. With such transformation of sense and view there also
appears a corresponding transfiguration of body and affairs.
I AM THAT I AM.
There
is but the one I AM THAT I AM. There is not one big "I" and millions
of smaller "i's." One Life is all there is, even as one air is all
the air there is. This one I AM THAT I AM includes granite heights, crystals,
trees, flowers, birds, animals, man, and all created things. Surrender,
therefore, the ifs, buts, whys and wherefores for this absolute
state of yourself -your radiant I - AM, ever the Self-revealing Light.
Attempting to heal physical bodies or spiritualize human
mentalities metaphysically, or by right thinking, overlooks the paramount fact
that all discord, limitation and imperfection are totally unreal, because
untrue! The eternal, real and true conditions already exist in the one
Christ state, to be seen, accepted and utilized wherever vision is clarified
sufficiently to thus behold the omnipresent Christ-Man.
