Whatever you affix to the “I AM” and believe, you become. The “I AM” in you is God, and there is none other. “I AM” or Life, Awareness, Pure Being, Existence, or the Real Self of you is God. It is the Only Cause. It is the Only Power making anything in the world. Honor It; live with the feeling, “I AM Christ,” all day long. Christ means the Anointed One, the Awakened One, the Illumined One. Feel you are this Anointed One; continue to live in that mental atmosphere; then you will draw out the Christ (Wisdom, Power, and Intelligence of God) within you, and your whole world will be transformed by that Inner Light shining in your mind. Every time you feel, “I AM the Christ”; “I AM illumined”; “I AM inspired”; you are praying and qualifying your consciousness with the thing you are praying about, and with the thoughts you are thinking.
I came that ye might have Life and that ye might have it more abundantly . . I AM the truth, the LIFE, etc. . “come unto ME” . . blending with this permanent identity will finally defeat the “last enemy” . . and then shall we enter into a plane of manifestation and be freed from the coming and going of this lovely truth.
It is the greatest Affirmation the New Emancipation puts on our tongue. I AM Love directed to my chosen end by thought. The stanza which we sing, “God is Love,” comes as the fulfilling of the Law. There is no longer Law for Man but Man for Law. As Sabbath and State are for Man, so Law is now for Man, and Man becomes the Law unto himself, even as God is Law unto his Universe. I AM Law! Can you climb thus high? I AM Law! Hence forth in my freedom Nature obeys me for, I AM Law. And, I AM Law, because I AM Love, for Love is the fulfilling of the Law. As soon as I recognize that I AM Love, then I become in the universe lawless, and becoming Law I live above all Law. In this connection do you recall Emerson’s most wondrous lines, “Into the fifth himself he flings, and Conscious Law is King of Kings.”
There is but one Truth, one Life, one Intelligence, one Self, one I AM, one Presence, and I AM This. I do not speak with mind. I do not create thoughts. I speak Truth. I speak the Word. I AM the fulfillment of that which I AM.
As long as you believe in a God apart from yourself, you will continue to transfer the power of your expression to your conceptions, forgetting that you are the conceiver. Do you believe that the “I AM” is able to do this? Then claim ME (yourself) to be that which you want to see poured out. Claim yourself to be that which you want to be and that you shall be. Not because of masters will I give it unto you, but, because you have recognized ME (yourself) to be that, I will give it unto you for I AM all things to all. Your belief in masters is a confession of your slavery. Only slaves have masters. Change your conception of yourself and you will, without the aid of masters or anyone else, automatically transform your world to conform to your changed conception of yourself.
We limit our prosperity by the way we identify ourselves. This self identification can be subtle such as: “I AM only….” Be aware of what you tie your “I AM” to. This is a powerful tool of calling the creative process into flow.
