"I AM" in the Mind of God/Source?

If so, what more needs to be said or known? If not, then what are we but our own dream?

Your thoughts...

    hmmm time to met Her i suppose, do you know Her ? I been looking for Her too. Well maybe I should tell you how She looks, but hey there are billions that looks like Her so I suppose telling you how She looks is pointless. Hmmmm maybe I should tell you how She is then, yeah yeah that would be easier.

    You see She is the most wonderful women, yeah, I mean She has this heart of gold but the thing here is She rarely talks about Herself because She is humble too. I mean Her Presence alone speaks volume. Them cant catch Her in a word, nor a song, nor an image, because She is a women who expresses in a million ways and in a million gaze. Yup thats Her allrite, ever so evasive lol. But there is a reason She is like that, and thats because She needs to be for everything to be in order. So She doesnt get caught in any intrepretation, see She is a wild women, with all the passion to extand everything in everyone. Ahhhh but me thinks its best She is this way too, know what I mean ? Never to be caught by any man nor women, either by the inner not the outter, either this side nor the other side, either by birth nor death lol. Do you know her ?

    Yeah I know, kinda hard to find her thru all this crowd, but them crowds are Her too, know what I means ? thru the valley, thru the village, up thru the hills, in the jungles, She was there wasnt She ? Did you manage to see Her ? Yeah I know She is not easy to catch, She simply slips thru the fingers doesnt She ? lol. I know, I know the frustrations,you try to catch her thru Unity then just then she slips into Duality, then you try to catch her thru Duality then she slips into Unity, then you scheme to catch her in between Duality and Unity then she slips into non existance, just then when you think you finally caught her in non existance suddenly she explodes into a million meaning, she explodes into a millions of passion, she explodes into millions of forms leaving you feeling dumbfounded. Argghhhhhhhhh, I know the feeling. See sister, She is a women who likes to dance, never to stop even for a nano second, She is the Goddess of dance after all. Yup we call Her a Goddess but She is simply lost in love, lol kinda reminds me of a puppy who doesnt know he is cute.

    lol, Shiva says its best to leave Her that way, Shiva says people misunderstood Her all the time but Shiva says the universe knows her intention. Shiva says let Her take care, Shiva says let Her take care, Shiva says She knows what to do, Shiva says nothing is left to be uttered for She in absolute knows who She is. Shiva says you have been around looking at how others have it so beautifully, Shiva says you have travelled to see the beauty of everything, Shiva says time to see Her beauty, Shiva says time to see her Wisdom, Shiva says time to see Her play Her knowledge, Shiva says She has been waiting for her to love you. Shiva says She has been waiting all this while. Shiva says let Her love you first, Shiva says let Her, for this is all She wants to do, for this is the reason She doesnt wish to be caught through words. For without being caught She loves you unconditionally and that is Her absolute nature. To love.

    Shiva says when all is happening without happening then it matters not to catch it in a word nor concept for only the experiance of life that matters in the end. To not to be lost to intrepretation nor doctrine and to see the world as IT IS through your eyes.

    Hmmmmm, and he have to butt in like that, sigh. Please use your own intrepretation over this, that blueman says a lot of things, just dont take it as it is please. It takes your own realisation over another persons. I dont care about thumbs up or downs. Just do your own thinking over this. Dont take it in simply because it sounds nice. Think Think Think for yourselfs

    Salutations to everyone`s answer, Salutations to you dear reader. Have nice day you all

    We are made in the Image of Source. We are thus co-creators, dreamers within The Dream God has given us the freedom to choose and to create a life according to our will and desires. The only point and purpose of 'Goodness' is that we know our true nature and so experience the Joy and Peace that is its nature. When we get it wrong, that is to say when we sin, we reap the opposite, not as punishment, but as the lawful outcome. If a man bashes his head against a stone wall the suffering it may cause is not punishment. In that example there is no intent on the walls part and neither is there any intent to harm us from the Creation.

    God said, and It was done. That is the constant state of Creation, It Is done. Participate from how It really Is or create your own version. The measurement of your accuracy of perception is the joy, peace or suffering you experience.

    Or so It appears to me. Namaste'

    The answer to these questions depend upon another statement/belief to be answered.

    Do you think the I AM is 100% equal with THAT WHICH IS? Meaning, do you see your Self as being just a fragment of the I AM?

    If you're just a fragment of the I AM, then not much more "needs" to be said, and more can only be said as an act of pleasurable enjoyment of the individual dream.

    But, I don't think that I AM necessarily must mean that THAT WHICH IS is completely the same as the Mind of God/Source. In my case, knowing I AM begs a whole lot of questions about how all of us who are not the I AM must be in relation to It/Him/Etc.

    I do not claim to know the answer

    but just trying to figure out

    your question has set the rational faculty working

    of course within a framework and assumptions ...........

    " I " and "Am"

    or

    " I " and therefore "Am"

    for sure

    without the " I "

    there can be no "Am"

    " I " the intellect

    senses Feelings and concludes "Am"

    every " I " possesses its own level of Perception (gnana)

    and determines its relationship to "Am"

    In the absence of feelings (sense perception - materialistic)

    " I " can probably be devoid of Am ( ?!! )

    looks rather next to impossible

    to perceive of "Am" without the " I "

    conclusion

    " I " is the source ( God ? )

    "Am" is the result (product ?)

    Wow! you certainly didn't get a banal answer from mystic Shiva this time.

    It is profound in how she weaves illusion and reality into it and says that we

    have to experience for ourselves and reach understanding by our own efforts.

    Realization is the key. I AM is just a phrase until realization dawns on the being;

    then it becomes enlightenment and Reality.

    It seems to be time for mankind to awaken, and the messages are arriving

    frequently, almost daily.

    Source(s): Thanks to Mystic Shiva for another eye opening discourse.

    I infer a note of dismissal; yet if we are our own dream we have control of the dream, and dream amid many other sleepers. I AM is not a statement of fatalism, it is a statement of pride and the thrill of living as a principal of the creative principle.

    i think we have the right idea and are headed in the right direction.

    But the words are so limiting they hardly expand our minds to the vastness

    of creation. We build a little more every day. Eventually, when our minds have

    a good grasp of Reality, The Holy One will finish the job and invite us Home.

    Source(s): The great peace of the Kingdom shines in your mind forever, but it must shine outward to make you aware of it.

    The "I AM" is yet another concept copied from the Brahmin Aryans of India. They would say "Aham Bramasmi" which mans I am.... and various connotations have been used to describe God.

    I am that I am, which is the name of God according to the book of Exodus.

    We (spirits within our bodies) are a part of absolute form (परमतत्व) of supreme Lord God, every thing else including our physical and astral bodies are related forms of Lord God. We have reached to level of human body spirit by spiritual evolution from unicell creature to human body spirit, the cause of the causes is Lord God himself revealing Himself as elixir, the fundamental matter responsible for the creation. Elixir is the first related form of Lord God having all creative properties of Lord God, but under the control of God Himself. All creation has come into existence by elixir.

    By the Name are supported the regions of the earth and solar-systems. By God's Name are supported the Simirtis,the Vedas and the Puranas. By the Name's support the mortals hear of Divine knowledge and meditation. Lord's Name is the prop of the skies and under-worlds. Lord's Name (elixir) is the prop of the bodies. By the Name are supported all the worlds and spheres. Men have been saved by associating with the Name and hearing it with their ears.Whom the Master mercifully attaches to His Name, O Nanak, the servant obtains salvation and gets into the fourth state of beatitude. {{{Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Raag Gauree 284}}}

    Hence God has created us through very lengthy process of spiritual and physical evolution. It is told by the true Guru that we have taken 8.4 million incarnation of different species to reach this stage.

    लख चउरासीह भ्रमतिआ दुलभ जनमु पाइओइ ॥ Having wandered through eighty four lakhs of existences, thouhast obtained the scarcely procurable human life. नानक नामु समालि तूं सो दिनु नेड़ा आइओइ ॥४॥२२॥९२॥ Nanak, remember thou the Name, for that day of departure is drawing near.

    {{{Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Siree Raag 50}}}

    Now as and when God wishes we have to merge in Him, but God knows when. But we have been given clues to come out of His game with the grace of true Guru. But it happens with great fortune, ordained by Lord God Himself, as a result of karmas of our good deed of past lives.

    ब्रहम महि जनु जन महि पारब्रहमु ॥ The saint abides in the Lord and the Lord in the saint.

    एकहि आपि नही कछु भरमु ॥ The Lord Himself is but One of this there is no doubt.

    सहस सिआनप लइआ न जाईऐ ॥ By thousands of clevernesses the Guru is not obtained.

    नानक ऐसा गुरु बडभागी पाईऐ ॥३॥ Nanak by the greatest good fortune such Guru is attained to.

    {{{Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Raag Gauree 287}}}

    गुर किरपा जिह नर कउ कीनी तिह इह जुगति पछानी ॥ That man, blessed by Guru's Grace, understands this way. नानक लीन भइओ गोबिंद सिउ जिउ पानी संगि पानी ॥३॥११॥ O Nanak, he merges with the Lord of the Universe, like water with water. ||3||11|| {{{Guru Tegh Bahaadur Ji, Raag Sorath 633}}}

    In nutshell and short we may summarize.

    जब उदकरख करा करतारा ॥ प्रजा धरत तब देह अपारा ॥When the Creator projected Himself, His creation manifested itself in innumerable forms;जब आकरख करत हो कबहूं ॥ तुम मै मिलत देह धर सभहूं ॥३८९॥

    When at any time He withdraws His creation, all the physical forms are merged in Him.389.
