“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are.”
~ Carl Jung ~
“In the beginning was The Word; and The Word was with God; and The Word was God.”
~ John 1:1 ~
“Our word of power can be spoken in fullness only as we recognize the unity of all life, only as the good we desire for the self includes all others.”
~ Ernest Holmes, This Thing Called Life ~
In response to the request ‘Tell me about yourself,’ the narrative that follows usually begins with the words, “I am.” The story may include “I am” statements about one’s physical, mental, and emotional condition at the time. It may include “I am” statements about one’s relationship to another, one’s career, and financial status at the time. It may include hobbies, such as, ‘I am a cook,’ ‘I am a gardener,’ ‘I am a photographer,’ etc. In any case, the words “I am” describe one’s experience in the world.
While these statements may be factual, they nonetheless exist in the human realm where change is always taking place. In “old school thinking,” the one seeking a new experience would change jobs, change partners, or move to a new location, and very often experience more of the same they left behind. However, Ernest Holmes teaches, “Change your thinking, change your life.” With this approach, you may very well make the same changes; however, the new experience you are seeking is attained. The kind of thinking referenced here can only be done in the solitude of your own being.

“I AM” is a great mystery that lies within us. When we are engaged in quiet contemplation, It is the still small voice that we hear. It is the Originating Word that is the beginning of everything that is. It is the Creative Power, forever proclaiming Itself into existence. That which I AM is fully imbued and infused in every cell, nerve, tissue, organ, fiber, bone, and muscle of every being. I AM is The Presence of the soul’s sincere desire; i.e., Love, Peace, Harmony, Joy, Wisdom, Intelligence, Power, etc. To the degree that we identify with this, our spiritual nature, it is to that degree that we begin to experience the power of that which the indwelling I AM is. It is within every one of us!

It is when we understand the nature of our entire being, the human and the divine, that we accept with clarity and conviction the Truth of who we are at the core of our being. The Law of Mind in Action receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it. Wholeness is revealed.
It seems reasonable to say that when we align ourselves with the nature of our Higher Self or the Creative I AM, the qualities we seek for fulfillment are realized as they express in, through, and as the person, place, or thing we desire.
I AM The Way
of Love, Peace, Harmony, Joy, Wisdom, Intelligence, Power.
I AM The Truth
that sets you free from all belief in limitation.
I AM The Life
that energizes and unifies all as One.
I AM is God; Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent.
“Today I say Yes to the Universe for all that I am, and the Universe says Yes to me—and it is always today!”
