The I AM is the hypothesis of all that is unknowable of God the Father, the Prime Source-Center; even this hypothesis surely falls far short of his unfathomable infinity. [1] It is the original infinity that can be hypothesized at the time of eternity, when as yet there was no differentiation in all infinity. [2]
The I AM is a theoretical and philosophical concession made by the celestial creatures to finite-minded men, who need time to understand relationships and causes. [3]
The I AM may be conceptually viewed as a unity, the solitary I AM; as a duality, the Infinite One differentiated from Infinity; as a triunity; and as a being of a sevenfold nature. [4] It is regarded as a philosophical postulate that the I AM pervades all infinity but no creature has been able to verify this by experience. [5]
The concept of the I AM implies complete self-realization, it embraces all the personalities who will have participated in the self-revelation of the I AM, his ultimate children. [6] The I AM contains both the past and the future, and therefore I AM also means I WAS and I WILL BE. [7] The Father revealed himself to Moses as I AM and as I AM that I AM; Jesus made an expanded revelation of the Father. [8]
In Buddhism the belief in many Buddhas led to the concept of the Eternal Buddha, a concept that can be identified with the Absolute and sometimes even with the infinite I AM. [9]
With his first action the I AM became the Eternal Father of the Original Son, and at the same time the Eternal Source of the Isle of Paradise. [10] The I AM exists before the existentials and after all the experientials. [11] The three spiritual expressions were perfectly unified in the I AM before he became the Universal Father of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit. [12]
In the Deity of the Supreme the Father-I AM has achieved a relatively complete liberation from the limitations inherent in the infinite state, eternal existence, and absolute nature. [13]
The final unification of the divergence between the interpretations of science, which is centered on energy, and those of religion, which is centered on spirit, occurs in the I AM. [14]
The personality of the I AM is partially experiential on spiritual levels even by mortals since it is in the Universal Father and in his revelation, the Eternal Son. [15] The realization of the Trinity of Trinities is thought to cause the I AM to become experientially attainable. [16]
The integration of total reality would occur in the union of the three Absolutes, the Unqualified, the Universal, and the Deity, which form the latent state of the I AM. [17]
The absolute original causality in infinity is attributed to the Universal Father, acting as the infinite, eternal, and absolute I AM. [18] All reality has its origin in the I AM. [19] He is the only self-caused fact in the universe; only the I AM is uncaused. [20] The I AM is also the Father of Michael of Nebadon and the God of human salvation. [21] The I AM is the primal cause and source of both the Trinity and the Absolute. [22] The I AM is Infinity, the eternal continuum. [23] The Original is the original manifestation of the I AM from which all reality springs. [24] The Unqualified Absolute is the unrevealed cosmic infinity of the I AM. [25]
