Chapter 4   The Impersonal I

“I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.  Genesis 15:1

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”  Isaiah 41:10

“I am the Lord:  That is my name  Isaiah 42:8

“I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.   Isaiah 44:6

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:  I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  John 10:9-10

“I am my Father are one….”  John 10:30

“And I; if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”  John 12:32

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”  John 14:6

“I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33

“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.  I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: Thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy world.”   John 17:5-6

Charles Fillmore Revealing Word:

I AM – My spiritual identity; the Christ Mind of each individual.  The I AM is the metaphysical name of the spiritual self, as distinguished from the human self.  One is governed by Spirit, the other by personal will. 

I AM is eternal without beginning or end – the Alpha and the Omega. 

I AM has it’s being in heaven.  It is the center around which the thoughts of mankind evolve.  Hitch your I AM to the star of Christ, and infinite joy will follow as night and day. 

Question:  Is the essence of Spirit within me or am I within it? 

“The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls:  who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”  Matthew 13:45-46

Tibetan Buddhist:  Terma  ( གཏེར་མ་, Wyl. gter ma) — hidden spiritual treasures

metaphysically is the realization of your I AM light/presence

Question:  How have the Tibetan Buddhists Walk for Peace been bringing light to the world?

I AM the light of the world refers to Christ as the expresser of Truth in all its aspects.   “We are bringing light to the world.” 

Living In The Light – from The Infinite Way by Joel Goldsmith

“Spiritual Light is not given to us for our own benefit alone.  That would be an impossibility.  Spiritual light touches us – transforms us - that it may radiate.”

Our perfect state is the state of divine discontent.  – Searching for our light.   That discontent is satisfied when we “find our light.”

There are those who are open to receive a measure of light and are immediately put to work by Spirit.  It is Spirit itself that stirs them to service for humanity.  The light propels us to be of service, to be actively engaged in service to this world.
