I AM [by] God

By: W. Lawrence Lipton

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

If you can, place your mind in an area you might not have explored before.
Imagine, if you can, that you have no senses – touch, feel, hear, see, or even speak.
You have just awakened – not to an external world, but the inside of your mind.
You have the knowledge, but without any real context – your only language is a language of self and the communication between the synapse of your mind and imagination.
You seek to understand... but what is there to understand? Are you not pure thought?
Expand your imagination through its suspension; remove it from the world and be the world.
Who are you?
Are you “alone”?
Or are there others like you?
And if there are others, can you communicate?
If there are no others, why are you...?
Step out of the world; open the book; look inside.
Take the journey from the other side.
See the journey of existence from the side to which mythology is assigned.
You are.
Philosophers have said, “I think, therefore I AM.”
Say, “I AM”
Now envision that state of being without context.
You live because you can think.
You have no reference for your beginning; if you die you would not know it.
There is no chronology in which to place yourself. Thoughts, being what they are, can go back or forward in time.
Without chronology, can there be death?
Sleep is death. ... Or... are you asleep and dreaming?
Without a begining or end, you become eternal.
Since all is based on your thoughts, you are omnipotent.
Death becomes something you invent or imagine. If you want, you can define it as a transition to another realm...
... possibly, a realm you cannot return from.
Imagine you awaken, ...
... without a body and all that comes with one.
Softly, within your mind, say: “!I!...!AM!”
But, you have a problem. All the things you think are derived from rules you create. But where did you come from?
Open the book and read the journey of one who awoke to tis problem.
