It is only "I am"...


It is the situation we are in that makes us believe we are this or that.

Whatever the soul experiences, that it believes itself to be.

If the soul sees the external self as a baby it believes, “I am a baby.”

If it sees the external self as old it believes, “I am old.”

If it sees the external self in a palace it believes, “I am rich.”

If it sees that self in a hut it believes, “I am poor.”

But in reality it is only, “I am...”

When man lives in this limitation he does not know that another part of his being exists, which is much higher, more wonderful, more living, and more exalted.
