Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
The mantra “I AM, I AM” relates to the finite identity of the first I AM with the infinite identity of the second I AM. If you just say in your mind I AM, immediately the mind asks “what?” If you say only one I AM, you will try to answer “I am what?” This produces some finite identity and does not expand the mind beyond the limited self. But if you immediately say a second I AM, the thought becomes “I am what I am,” and to be what you are is the essence of truth and the nature of reality. I AM–one is the self identity of “I” and the other is the existence of the being “AM”. Each time the hand moves, extend yourself beyond the body’s physical limits.
Sat Nam,
With the LOVE of I AM! Flourish!
