    When Moses asks God what he should be called, if his people should ask. He responded, eheyeh asher eheyeh, "I AM WHAT I AM. Tell them I AM, eheyeh, has sent you." I am what I am. I think there is much meaning here. First of all, eheyeh refers to the essential core of being. What are the two eheyeh's? What is the 'I am' that 'I am' is? The core of all being, being itself, the source and flowing of life itself. All individual expressions of life and being, are the universal life and being. The individual Being is the Universal Being. Thus it is said in John 10, verse 30: "I and the Father are one."

    John 8:56-58 - "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
    Then said the Jews unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?'
    Jesus said unto them, 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.'"

    What is Christ's day? When we realize our identity with the Son, individualized manifestation of Infinite Being, then we see his day. 'Before Abraham was, I am.' Before all that is divisible and impermanent, I AM, Being itself, is.

    John 3:8 - "The spirit blows where it Wills...but you cannot tell from where it comes, or where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."

    Spirit, which is limitless and transcendental, is only found now. Since it is limitless, it is beyond all which implies time-based differentiation. Thus it is only where it is now, not where it was or where it will be. Because now IS. And before Abraham WAS, I AM.

    Matthew 6:22 - "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."
    Matthew 6:24 - "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

    All which is based on division is ultimately untrue, and not of spirit. Who is God? I AM. I am is an expression of pure positivity. When I say positivity here, I do not exactly mean positive in sense of 'good' in the 'good-bad' polarity. But rather, positive in the sense of, manifested rather than hidden, on rather than off, yes rather than no. This is why the spirit blows where it Wills...movement and manifestation, creation, is Will. That something is, rather than nothing, is Divine Providence. This is the power of eheyeh, I AM. And because of the I AM, because of positive, manifested, existence, and because Reality can only be seen through a single, unified eye, the existence of one possible manifestation is equivalent to the existence of all possible manifestation. However reality may manifest, it IS, it is the eheyeh. Through eheyeh, all which could be is equivalent. It is through this that faith is established, and true prayer is introduced; prayer which is said to be answered, without qualification, so long as it is asked for in faith.

    Matthew 21:22 - "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

    See Being-itself, Life-itself, Consciousness-itself. It IS, and this IS-ness is the I AM, the eheyeh. And it is without contradiction. It is on-without-off, yes-without-no. Because something is, IS-ness is, and therefore anything which could be, equally is. Through evoking eheyeh, the I AM, anything can be brought about. But only through proper understanding of the first eheyeh, actualization of the second eheyeh within yourself, and then realization of the identity of your internal I AM with the Universal I AM, through the asher, 'what,' relating the two eheyeh's of Exodus 3. Because I AM, something is. And because Being itself is the source of all individual forms of being, all forms are equivalent in Being itself. Thus when Being is properly understood, and one becomes established in it, in faith, all possible manifestations of existence are equivalent. And then anything you should ask for, whatever it is, will be given to you, so long as it is asked for in this faith. Then it is not asked for, it is just known as equally existent within the infinite potential that God IS.
     
  2. Indeed; the key to the secret of the universe lies within, and not without, self-consciousness. And as it has long been said over the ages (and in many tongues), "Know thyself, and thou shall know the universe and God."
     
     
     
    He (Jesus) replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." 
     
  3. Well said.  Existence IS, it isn't NOT. 
     
  4.  I like that!....
     
    Also...
    Romans 8:13
    What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

  5. Good replies. I like the quote TesseLated, not one I was really familiar with. Also, looking again at Matthew 6:22
    "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."
     
    It made me see another layer of meaning to it. The eye is the perspective. The way you choose to see things. The body, I think, should be taken to both mean your actual body, as well as physical reality in general. The light of the body is the eye. The color, the meaningful essence, of yourself and your circumstances are formed from the perspectives you form. If your eye be single, if you can be centered within your innermost point while simultaneously apprehending that that innermost core is the innermost core of everything, then your life-essence will permeate everything both within and without yourself. 
     
    Also another essential quote, pretty well known which I suppose is part of the reason I didn't include it in the OP, but definitely an important one.
     
    Luke 17:21 - "Neither shall they say lo, here! Or lo, there! For the Kingdom of God is within you."
     
  6. Genesis 11:6 The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
     
  7.  lol....If the Bible contained only thoughts like that....'religion' might actually be a good thing...
     
  8. You know the bible is a collection of scrolls and I don't think it was ever meant to be a book of religion. Every1 is going around saying "as above so below" and speaking on the Law of Attraction and the bible has long put these concepts in perspective. Once you read between the lines and become more adept it is so easy to see that the Bible is trying to show individuals how they can connect back into the divine + unbounded life force that is inherent in everyone.
     
    As Above So Below - "On Earth as it is in Heaven" or "Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and all things will be added unto you"
     
    It's yalls take on what the "kingdom of heaven" is a metaphor for.. or is it a metaphor at all.
     
    Law of Attraction is no more than "Be transformed by the renewal of your mind" or "Ask and ye shall recieve"
     
    sometimes I wonder what bible Christians are reading because it seems like they skip over all the good stuff and would rather take a simple verse out of context than try to innerstand the deeper ideals that are revealed.
     
  9. Very true. It's like, when I read the bible I find it to be constantly full of insight. It is amazing how the people who follow the religion seem to skip over all the most interesting philosophical ideas, and just not even think about deeper interpretations, even when the text seems to clearly suggest it. All the most interesting aspects seem to be removed.
