I n the third chapter of Exodus, we read these words:

I am the Lord, thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

God said to Moses, Come now, therefore, and I will send thee to Pharaoh that thou mayest bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.

Moses said unto God, Who am I that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? Moses said unto God, Behold when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me, and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?

God said unto Moses, I Am that I Am, and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord of God of your fathers, the God of Isaac, the God of Abraham, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you. This is my name forever, and this is my memorial for all generations.

When you say I Am, you are announcing the presence of the living God within you. You are declaring yourself to me. I Am that I Am. The word that indicates that which you want to be, that which you would like to be. The second I Am means the answered prayer, achievement and fulfillment of your desire, dream, or aspiration. You do not repeat I Am that I Am parrot-like. You feel yourself to be what you long to be.

You become interested, fascinated, absorbed in your ideal. It begins to gel in your mind, and whatever is impressed in the subconscious is impressed upon the screen of space. Then comes the cry of victory, the wholeness, beauty, and perfection of the thing you want it to be.

You can say for example, I am illumined. I am inspired. I am divinely guided. I am made whole. You can live in that atmosphere because whatever you attach to I Am, you become. Whatever you attach to I Am with feeling and understanding, you will become that very thing.

If youre looking for your true place in life, this is a simple prayer, but it works in a magnificent, wonderful way. I have given it to many people throughout the world. Say to yourself, I am in my true place. I am doing what I love to do. I am divinely happy. I am divinely prospered.

Say that feelingly, knowingly, and meaningfully, and the deeper mind will take over and open up all doors for you. Your hidden talents will be revealed to you, the door will open up, and you will find yourself in your true place, meaning you will be expressing yourself at your highest possible level.

I Am means awareness, being, life principle, unconditioned consciousness. The Hindus use the word aum, its the same thing. It means the limitless one. It means the holy one who inhabited the eternity, whose name is perfect.

You can say, for example, I am whole. I am perfect. I am vital. I am strong. The Bible says, Let the weak say I am strong. Let the widow say it as well. Take your attention away from your problem, whether its sickness, lack, limitationbe it what it may. Focus your attention on your ideal, your goal, your objective.

Claim yourself to be what you long to be. Rejoice and feel it, and then the old condition will pass away, and you will experience the joy of the answered prayer. The Bible says, Behold, Imeaning the infinitemake all things new.

The Bible says, Ye shall not need to fight in this battle. Set yourself, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. The word salvation is an old Hindu term meaning a solution to your problem, the answer to your prayer. It means saved.

Saved from what? From fear, ignorance, superstition. Youre saved from sickness, disease, lack, limitation of all kinds. Why? Because youre aware of the God presence within and your capacity to contact it. When you call upon it, it answers you. It will be with you in trouble. It will set you on high because you hath known its name. Its name is nature, the way it works.

Behold, I stand and knock at the door. If any many will hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and sup with him, and he with me. The God presence is always knocking at the door of your heart. Its always seeking to express itself at higher levels through you. Youre a channel of the divine, and therefore, you must listen to the murmurings and whisperings of your heartstrings, because God is forever saying to you, Come on up higher. I have need of you at higher levels.

Therefore your desire is a gift of God. The realization of your desire is your savior. If you were lost in the woods, divine guidance or the light of God would illumine your pathway and reveal to you the way out. If youre hungry, food is your savior. If youre dying of thirst in the desert, water is your savior. If youre in prison, freedom is your savior. If youre sick, health is your savior.

The answer is always within you, and the saving consciousness is within you, because God grows in you. I rejoice in God, my savior, the Bible says.

Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which means to quiet the wheels of your mind. Call upon this infinite intelligence which responds to you. If you ask for a fish, it will not give you a serpent. If you ask for bread, it will not give you a stone. It becomes the embodiment of your ideal.

Have a deep conviction that all is well in spite of all the reasons why the condition seems to be impossible. Remain unmoved. Live in the atmosphere of victory, and victory will be yours. Having seen the end, you have willed a means to the realization of that end. Contemplate the happy ending. Realize and know that all the power of God will flow to the focal point of attention.

I am a pure, unconditioned being. It is the creative power. It deals with the infinity of God. Another way of explaining it is this: I means the infinite. A comes from Ab, meaning the father, and M means the mother. In other words, the infinite is the father and mother of God, the male and female principle.

The ancient Hebrews said that God, in order to create, divided himself into two, male and female. Then God conceived Himself to be the sun, the moon, and the stars. He believed Himself to be man, pictured Himself as man, and all these archetypes were given to the female aspect of Himself. This is called the womb of God, which created all things in sequence and brought forth all things in this universe.
