I am that I am.. What am I?

[Ethan1]

What am I?... What does this really even mean??? 

I am Beliefs? I am the beliefs I was given? I am thoughts? My thoughts are not me? I am words? I am roles? Roles are not really me? I am stories I tell others? I am stories others tell me? I am what I do? My job is not me? My career is not me? I am my body? My body is not entirely me? I am my mind? What defines the self?  

What is the I? 

What is the meaning of am? 

What is the "I am" ? 

I am who I say I am? Or not? 

If I am not who I say I am then who am I really? 

 

I am not what I think I am, I am not what you think I am, I am what I think you think I am?? 

I am who I want to be? Or I am already me? Here I am? Who am I really? 

Am I real? Who is that? What is real? 

Am I fake? Who is that? What is fake? 

I am God? I am an aspect of God? 

I am the devil? I am an aspect of devilry?

I am an ego? False self? 

I am not the ego? True self? 

I am part of reality?

Realty is a part of me?

I am what my words speak into reality? 

Tell me who am I? 

I will tell myself who I am? 

I am enough 

I am awareness

I am strength

I am conciousness 

I am wisdom

I am energy 

I am power

I am love

I am alive

Let simplify things.

Use this technique:

Stage 1:

You ask yourself a question and the first answer that comes to mind - you write it down. I call that immediate intuition God. You can choose something else if you'd like (Higher Self, The Source, Leo Gura, whatever...) 

Stage 2:

You reverse the roles. God is the one asking the questions and YOU answer.

 

Example:

 

God: What is mind?

Greg: Thought.

God: What is body?

Greg: No End.

God: HOW is body?

Greg: Infinite.

God: What is soul?

Greg: Me.

God: What is I?

Greg: Eternal.

God: Who am I?

Greg: Who, indeed

God: Who are you?

Greg: I am that I am

God: What am I?

Greg: God.

God: What are You?

Greg: God.

I am that I am

I yam what I yam lolol.. That's hilarious! 

I find it odd reading the comment section of that video how oblivious people are to the statement being made. 

Popeye was finding complete self-acceptance of who he was in the moment. Zero shame for his role. Started spitting fire for authenticity, congruence, and ownership. I had no clue there was a movie on the cartoon.

@Eternal Unity Hmm sounds like a mix of self-talk / free-association / self-inquiry. 

I like that idea! Reminds me of IFS therapy & parts work too. Also, sentence stemming techniques for self-inquiry. 

Pulling to mind the first thought/question that arrives and rolling with it? 

I like it! I yam what I yam ?

I like how Matt Kahn put it once:

I stands for 1

A stands for Awareness 

M stands for Manifested 

I AM = 1 Awareness Manifested 

[Eternal Unity]

@Ethan1 Yeah, it's a mix of those. you don't really have to write it down if your inquiry is clear in your mind. Mine isn't, so Leo advised to write a journal, I took his advise. Works for me

[Eternal Unity]

@ivankiss I AM Awareness Manifested. reminds me of Teal Swan's I AM Fragmentation.

Always nice to be in contact with you, man

Thanks!
