"And God said to Moses on the mountain, I am that, I am . . ." The Bible Let me tell you a story . . . These words- I am that, I am are strong mantra words, that I use when meditating or just contemplating my life: I am poet, I am love, I am gentle, I am humble, I am, extending upwards to transcend ordinary awareness; I am a tree with my roots deep in this earth- this life, and my branches expand to embrace the infinite. I am aware of my outer self and my inner self, outer self accepts all the things taught or told: inner self questions everything seeking new truths, to find unfathomable magical transformation; my divine purpose and relinquishing my old history, I am hope, I am kindness, I am joy, I am beautiful. I offer you some Bible messages to contemplate, I am the door, John 10:9, I am the bread of life, John 6:35: I am the light of the world, John 14.6. I am that I am, God, I am the vine and you are the branches, John 15:5; I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and End, Rev. 16, I am the resurrection, Jesus, I am the way, Jesus. In my meditation each day I expand on my I am mantras, repeating words, I am strong, I am peace, I am happiness; I am worthy, I am fearless, I am warrior, I am flying, I am, I am friend, I am me with all my flaws and imperfections.
