I am THAT. Why am I THAT? I am THAT because my Source is THAT. My DNA is THAT.
When Moses asked God "Who shalI l tell the children of Israel sent me?" God said "Tell them 'THAT I AM THAT I AM' sent you."
I am a child of God who was created in the likeness of God. Like my Father, I am THAT.
The essence of the THAT I AM is five-fold:
1. Spirit - is the divinity that is within and without me. It is like the wind that is intangible. Yet, it can be felt and is a force that propels, reveals, directs, illuminates and inspires me.
2. Love - is the good I do. It is always good and right in every situation, precisely, because it transcends the situation, even while involved intimately in the concrete situation.
3. Productivity - is my creativeness manifested tangibly and intangibly which adds substantively to the world and human consciousness.
4. Suffering - is characteristic of the human condition and as such it is unavoidable, even though I, as other humans, can prevent or avoid infliciting some sufferable things from attacking me. But suffering cannot be entirely eliminated from the human experience. It has positive as well as negative consequences. Suffering is a leading factor in producing personal growth.
5. Enjoyment - is the gladness that results from the merging or blending of the Spirit and love. It is the rejoicing that puts a lightness in my step and causes me to dance, sing, shout and even shed tears of joy. Enjoyment for me is ever-present victory.
This is who, more correctly, "THAT I AM." So, if you want to know me, if you want to communicate with me, if you want to relate to me, know about me what Moses knew about God, "I AM THAT" - spirit, love, productivity suffering and enjoyment, specifically and generally, personally and socially, locally and universally, I AM THAT.
