“Before
Abraham was, I AM.” – John 8:58
The Mystery of “I AM”
In the teachings of Jesus, the phrase "I AM"
carries profound spiritual weight. It is not simply a statement of existence—it
is a declaration of divine identity. When Jesus said, "Before
Abraham was, I AM," He was not only speaking of His timeless
essence, but pointing to a truth accessible to all: there is a divine awareness
within each of us, beyond name, form, and time.
This "I AM" is not the voice of the ego. It is
the still, silent presence beneath every thought, every role, every mask. It is
the part of us that has never changed—the pure consciousness that sees,
experiences, and simply is.
A Moment of Awakening
I remember sitting alone on a quiet hill one evening,
overwhelmed by the noise of life and the restlessness of my mind. I had been
chasing identities—titles, achievements, roles. I thought success would bring
me closer to peace, yet the more I attained, the more fragmented I became.
That evening, I didn’t try to fix or figure anything out. I
just sat with the words, “I AM.” Not as a mantra to
manipulate, but as an anchor into the silence. As the sun dipped below the
horizon, something shifted. The striving dissolved. I was no longer the doer,
the role, or the mask. I was simply being.
And in that moment, I recognized: the “I AM” is not
something to attain, it is something to remember. It had always been
there—quiet, vast, and loving—waiting for me to come home.
Living from Presence
To awaken to the I AM is to step into a new way of being.
It's not about denying the world, but seeing it through the lens of presence.
You may still have a name, a job, a story—but you are no longer confined by
them. You live as the witness, the awareness, the light behind the form.
This is the core of spiritual awakening—not the acquisition
of knowledge, but the remembrance of who you truly are before the world told
you who to be.

Reflection Practice
Find a quiet space today. Sit comfortably, close your eyes,
and gently repeat inwardly:
“I AM… I AM… I AM…”
Don’t try to finish the sentence. Just rest in the
awareness that is hearing the words. Let thoughts come and go. Stay rooted in
the silent presence behind them. Even if only for a moment, feel what it’s like
to just be.
“The kingdom of God begins where ego ends.”
Have you ever felt a moment where you were not your roles
or your thoughts, but simply being?
