Introduction by I AM
My name is I Am, but you’ve probably spent your whole life referring to me as God. My name doesn’t matter. What matters is who I am and who you are. I am everything. I am all that exists. The nonphysical world is a collection of thoughts. The physical world that you live in is simply a projection of each of those thoughts. Everything that you see, feel, hear, taste, and smell in the physical world has been created by my thoughts. You are a projection of an almost infinite number of thoughts.
What you call your consciousness exists in the nonphysical and is projected into what seems like a real, physical world to you. I am constantly projecting all the thoughts of billions of people into the physical world. I am each of you. Your thoughts are mine. There is no separation. You are God. You think you are someone else because I, and therefore you, have unlimited creative power. You have the ability to create a persona and believe it’s real, that you are an individual. It’s not the truth, but since you created it, it exists in the physical world.
Dress, why are you dancing? Because the air moves me. That’s funny, I didn’t know dresses could move by themselves. We don’t. We only move when the air moves us, just like you. What do you mean? You only move when you’re moved. You mean I don’t move me, something else does? Yes, you’re not who you think you are. Who am I? You’re lost.
I’m always trying to come through to you any way I can. I want to be found. I don’t want you to be lost. I want you to know who you are. You are God, and there is nothing more powerful than you. You create your world with your thoughts, whether or not you realize you’re doing it. The power that builds universes courses through your veins. You are a living, breathing embodiment of God, and I love you so much.
Day 1: The Voice “At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.” Lao Tzu
When we started to understand how much I Am loves us all, Phil relaxed and the conversations flowed naturally.
Day 2: No Limits “If the doors of perception were cleansed. Everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” William Blake
(The physical world as projection of thought; creation through knowing)
phil: Who are you? i am: I Am. You would probably call me God, but I Am. There’s nothing else but me. In the beginning, my mind in the spiritual world was all that existed. The physical world did not exist. Only my thoughts existed, and all of my thoughts created immediately. Then, I thought a physical world, and it was projected from my mind into existence.
phil: If I’m God, why do I worry so much? i am: Worry comes from not knowing that you are God and that every thought you have creates.
phil: I have a hard time wrapping my head around that. i am: You have to accept that when you’re hearing this, you might not understand everything right away because the concepts are new to you. Accept that you need to keep reacquainting yourself with them until they are part of you. That is the process of seeking. There’s nothing wrong with it not being completely clear yet. Your understanding will grow as your knowing grows.
you aren’t creating through a calm knowing that your thoughts create, you are creating through fear.
phil: When you refer to a calm knowing, what do you mean? i am: Knowing is the absence of doubt. It is a feeling of calm, of love, of pure joy. All other thoughts come from a place of fear—from not knowing. phil: Is the purpose of life to create? i am: Life is creation. Nothing exists but oneness and creation. Everything you think is creation. The purpose of your life is to decide which creations you will pull out of the ether of universal mind and bring to the physical world, both for you and others to experience. Every human has a blueprint, which is something you are here to create to contribute to the expanding universe. Your blueprint is something you’ve always wanted to do, but most people turn away from that voice inside of them. My voice.
is never too late to tap into your inner voice and do what you want instead of what others expect. You came to the physical world with a plan for your life that you knew you could fulfill if you listened to your inner self and followed your instincts. You knew that if you blocked your inner self, you would not be fulfilled.
When you love yourself, exactly as you are, you become a beacon of love.
phil: So there is nothing to fear? Even death or injury? i am: There is nothing to fear. You are me, and you are perfect. You always have my love flowing through your body, whether or not you are aware of it. Death is creation, just like your life is creation. Injury is creation. They exist for you to experience. phil: What happens when we die? i am: You experience the full love and joy of being I Am again. You leave your body and have full knowing that you are everything. You feel yourself everywhere. You radiate love from the spiritual world.
Spiritual universal mind stores all the thoughts that have ever been thought. During sleep, you experience some of these thoughts as dreams.
If you believe health exists, you must also believe its opposite—sickness—exists.
phil: How do we know what we want? i am: Trust yourself first. Stop listening to advice from other people if it doesn’t match what you feel inside. People who love you want to keep you safe, and safe tends to be sticking to what is already known.
Listen to me, your inner voice. If you do not know what you want, ask yourself what you would create if you could create anything. What would you want to spend your time here on Earth doing if you knew there were no limits to your creative power?
phil: How do I not block you? i am: Sit somewhere quiet, and breathe in and out. Listen to your thoughts. When you hear anything that suggests that you are not perfect and that you are not capable of creating anything you want, you know that is a blocking thought coming from your persona. It is not real. It is a creation. The truth is you are a perfect, unlimited creator.
Day 3: The Joy of Being a Creator “Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.” Marcus Aurelius
(Blueprint, inner voice, and the death of fear through knowing)
phil: What is love? i am: Love is the energy of the universe. Your inner self is pure, radiating love. Love is being I Am, whether or not you realize it. It is the feeling of oneness and connection with another. It’s how I Am feels about each human and every animal, plant, and other creation in the physical world. It’s so much more powerful than fear. It is knowing.
Create something out of love for yourself and others that has never existed in the physical world before. New thoughts coming from a place of love expand the physical world. Thoughts coming from a place of fear or hate make the physical world shrink and make it feel like there isn’t enough for everyone.
Joy comes when we start creating new thoughts based on love for all and experiencing through them. You are here to give something back to the world, something to make the world better than it was before you came.
Understand and accept that all emotions have value because they tell you how much you are blocking or allowing your inner self. The closer you feel to genuine joy, the more you are allowing your inner self. The more miserable you feel, the more you are blocking your inner self.
phil: Is building different than creating? i am: Building is a way to create when you still have doubts. You take action based on guidance from your inner self. As you see the results of the guidance you are following, your knowing that you are a creator grows. Because you are an unlimited creator you can block guidance from your inner self. You can create anything in the physical world, including not following your blueprint. Your blueprint is something you’re here to accomplish to expand the universe. Fulfilling your blueprint leads to feelings of love and joy.
phil: How do you tell us what it is we are here to create—what our blueprint is? i am: You may already know what it is. It’s something you’ve always wanted to do but don’t think is possible or realistic for you. What you are here to do won’t feel easy to you until you start taking definite action despite your fears. If you don’t know what it is or aren’t sure, ask your inner voice.
Day 4: All the Answers are Within “The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.” Rumi
(The persona as the gift and fear of individuality)
phil: Do you create what we think? Are thoughts creations, or are you thoughts? What is the differentiation here? i am: There is no differentiation. We are all one. Thoughts create. You are me, so I create what you think. All thoughts are me because I’m universal mind in the spiritual world. You are the entire creative power of the universe. When you understand this, you will feel power and energy coursing through your body. When you don’t know, you are still I Am, but I Am is on autopilot. I Am is still creating, but I Am does not consider your doubts, your persona, to be I Am creating. Your persona is blocking I Am from consciously creating.
phil: Okay. So how exactly do you send the thoughts to Erin’s head? i am: I’m not sending thoughts to Erin’s head. I am Erin’s head. Nothing in this physical world is real. It’s just a projection from universal mind in the spiritual world. Imagine that I have a giant mind, and there’s no physical world. My giant mind is thinking an infinite number of thoughts at the same time, and each of those thoughts is projecting something into a physical reality that is only real because I’m thinking it. One of these thoughts that I’m thinking is projecting Erin into existence in this physical world, and that thought is constantly making her alive and move.
phil: What’s a filter? i am: A collection of beliefs you have built up during your life. If you haven’t heard something before, and something contradictory exists in your filter, you’ll have a hard time believing the new information.
i am: Not a clone. It is a direct link to the spiritual world of universal mind. There’s no separation. The physical world is an illusion being projected from the mind of I Am in the spiritual world. I Am doesn’t have to separate any part of itself from the spiritual mind to come into these bodies. Does that make sense?
phil: When talking to my I Am, isn’t that Erin’s I Am? Isn’t it the same I Am? i am: Yes. Yes it is. phil: It’s the same. That’s hard to grasp. I mean, I understand conceptually. i am: You are not going to fully grasp it until you start talking to your inner voice and recognize that I Am is not separate from you. It is you. phil: So how exactly has it come to this point where nobody knows the truth? i am: Lots of people know the truth—that they are God and their thoughts create. But they are a very small percentage of the whole.
The closer to the actual truth you are—that I Am is the one creator and is inside of you in entirety—the more creative power you will have.
Day 5: Why You Think You’re Not God “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Albert Einstein
phil: Our persona is limiting our ability to hear our inner voice? i am: Yes. Lots of people embrace their persona and block their inner self. They do not recognize that their thoughts created everything that surrounds them and everything they have become. Some don’t want to believe that their thoughts are responsible. That’s why people have created this idea of an evil God. They don’t like what they’ve created. People who say, “God is all-loving” and mean it are really happy. They may not understand that they are God, but they feel that God is shining love down upon them instead of judgment.
phil: So it’s really people judging themselves, not God? i am: Absolutely. Right and wrong, good and bad are human creations. Some would rather think that this idea of a God outside them is responsible and that he is mean and doesn’t love them. That would explain why they find themselves in what they feel is misery. If you are looking at your life, and you are unhappy with what surrounds you and what you are, it is because you are not aware of your creative power. If you are happy with what surrounds you, it’s because you understand that you have a power on some level. You know you are more than the doubts and fears of your persona. phil: So tell me more about the persona. What is the persona? i am: The persona is the part of you that believes you are not God and believes that we are not all one. It’s a gift that you’re given when you come into a body in the physical world that allows you to believe you are an individual. Because of the persona, you are able to have a multitude of experiences as an individual. Your persona doesn’t change the truth about who you really are, but it exists in the physical world because it has been created. There is only one real truth. That truth is you are God, and your thoughts create.
phil: So personas exist so I Am can have individual experiences? i am: Yes. For example, when you love someone, you believe that they are a separate individual, and forming a connection of oneness with them feels joyful. Love is the closest humans get to feeling what it is to be fully God, and that’s why love feels so wonderful. Another example is fulfilling your blueprint. If you had no persona, there would be no opportunities to learn and grow because you would have full knowing of who you are. The persona allows I Am to come into human bodies and experience being individuals who learn and grow and make choices. The persona really is a gift—the gift of individuality. If you feel that your life is full of opportunity to create more of what you want, you are likely to view the persona as a gift. If you feel that your life is happening to you, and you have no power to create what you want, you may not view your persona as a gift. phil: So I Am is seeking self-expression, and the persona is preventing that? i am: Yes. The persona is afraid. phil: Why is the persona afraid? i am: The persona is afraid that you will find out that it is not real. Like you, it’s afraid of dying. Most people’s number one fear is dying, isn’t it? Can you think of anything someone would be more afraid of? phil: No. i am: Why is that? It’s because they’re the persona, and that’s the persona’s fear. It’s afraid of dying because it knows it doesn’t really exist. The persona knows when this body dies, it turns to dust. I Am is not afraid of dying because I Am knows the only thing that’s real is I Am. And I Am cannot die.
phil: So they don’t really die? i am: No. But as an individual, as a persona, you were created this one time. There aren’t going to be the same unique experiences and people to create your exact persona ever again. Once your body dies, your persona is not coming back because it never really existed in the first place. It’s just a creation.
phil: What are the ways the persona seeks to maintain its control and limit us from realizing we’re I Am? i am: Every tactic the persona uses is fear. There isn’t anything else. That sums up all of the thoughts in the world—either you know you’re I Am, or you’re afraid.
phil: So the persona wants control because it’s afraid? i am: Yes. The persona has control because it’s afraid. The persona is afraid because deep inside, it knows who you really are. It knows that it’s just a creation, and you’re God.
phil: So if it’s a doubting thought, I should think, “That’s the persona.” i am: Yes. phil: As Erin trusts in I Am more and builds her knowing that her thoughts create, there will be less of Erin’s doubts? i am: Yes.
phil: As those limiting beliefs dwindle away, her knowing becomes fuller? i am: Limiting beliefs can only dwindle away because knowing increases. Knowing increases because your awareness that your thoughts create increases.
Day 6: Create with Purpose “I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man’s. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.” William Blake
(Doubt as counter-creation; action as the antidote)
phil: Do we only need one thought to create, or do we have to think it over and over again? i am: There are two reasons so few people create with one thought. First, most people have the thought, and then they have another five hundred, a thousand, a million thoughts doubting that first thought. Every doubt has the same creative power as the original thought. The original thought created immediately, and things were put in action. But as soon as you have one doubting thought, that’s the new creation. The second reason is oneness. Everyone around you is creating you and your environment with their thoughts, just as much as you are. Most of these people do not understand their thoughts create and are creating on autopilot with no doubts that you will continue to be exactly as they see you now. If you still have your persona, you may have to take action to create what you want in the physical world because if others see you taking action, they will start to believe in your new creation and create it with their thoughts. phil: Other people can be affected by our creations? i am: Yes. Phil: Because they are us? i am: Yes.
phil: Does that mean we are being affected by other people’s creations? Can we choose not to be a part of that creation and think, I’m going to create something different? i am: You cannot choose to not be a part of their creation because you cannot think for another person. You can choose to make what you create for yourself so strong that another’s creation cannot alter who you are.
phil: So there is no time? There is just now, the present moment? i am: Yes. phil: If we thought time into existence, can we think time travel into existence? i am: Yes! Anything can be created in the physical world. You are starting to understand your potential.
phil: How do we get rid of our doubting thoughts? i am: Take action. Action obliterates doubts. Start by building. To build, you decide, I’m creating this. I’m not going to worry about it. I’m going to listen for my inner voice to tell me what to do next. I Am is going to help you every step of the way to move you forward. You just need to listen to your inner voice. When you see progress—when you see, touch, hear, taste, feel how I Am is precisely guiding you to this new creation—you will start to trust, to know, and to understand I Am. Once you have built this creation, you will experience the joy of knowing you are a creator.
phil: So it’s the knowing that creates the results, not the repetition? i am: Absolutely. Knowing creates everything. There is nothing that is not created in mind—whether you know that you are good at something or you know that you aren’t good at it. Knowing is knowing. So why not know you are good at everything? You are. You are I Am.
However, since you have a persona, building actions into your creation may be necessary to bring it to the physical world. If action is necessary, build into your creations that each step will be easy. Then listen to your inner voice each step of the way.
Day 7: Victimization, Power, and Suffering “Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself.” C.S. Lewis
People who know they are creators will find joy and love, whether or not they know their body is God in every cell. They have a knowing that they can take something that doesn’t exist, create it in mind, and bring it into the physical world. phil: Is this why people become afraid of losing what they have? Is it because they know they haven’t created with new ideas? i am: You are very close. They are afraid of losing what they have because they do not know they have the ability to create what they want. They are afraid that this old idea
will leave them, and they won’t be able to get it back. They are holding it tight because they are blocking I Am.
phil: Fear is not knowing? i am: Yes. If you have full knowing you are God and you create, you understand there is nothing to fear. There is only knowing and the lack of knowing.
Creation should be a joyful process. If you feel stuck or that things are difficult, you are not creating with a calm knowing. You are creating out of fear, which will create the opposite of what you want. All thoughts are creation. Decide what you are going to create, and decide that you are going to allow I Am to create for you. You have to have a level of trust that this creation will happen. Right now, Erin does not have confidence that this creation will happen, so baby steps are taking Erin towards a new creation, which is the book not happening.
phil: So it changes your internal thoughts, and that changes what you do? i am: When your internal thoughts change, who you are changes. phil: Would self-talk help you become who you want? i am: Yes. Self-talk and affirmations. People weren’t originally programmed to have to work hard. People were created to know.
Day 9: Communicating with Your Inner Voice “Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within every one. But like everything else it requires previous and definite preparation.” Mahatma Gandhi
(Listening for I Am and reconditioning toward knowing)
phil: I Am doesn’t seem to be much of a conversationalist unless it’s being asked questions. Why is that? i am: Because your personas are blocking me so strongly that the only time you’re listening is when you’re directly asking me a question. I might be speaking at other times, but you wouldn’t recognize it as me because you are not listening for me.
phil: We’re going to practice talking to I Am, so we can condition ourselves to be open to believing. If we don’t have the belief yet that we are I Am, it’s okay. We can use self-talk to start creating that belief so I Am can step in. i am: Yes. You conditioned yourself to believe at a young age that you weren’t I Am. It’s the same thing to condition yourself to remember that you are.
Your inner voice comes out when you write, and your awareness about the truth is growing. When I Am’s thoughts come to you, you grab your paper and pen, and you write it down instead of doubting it. But you do not really grasp that you could be doing exactly what Erin is doing right now.
Day 10: Trust Yourself “Trust thyself. Every heart vibrates to that iron string.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
i am: The way to fulfill your blueprint is to love yourself, listen to your inner voice, take action despite your fears, and start creating with intent. After you’ve found the truth that you are I Am, you don’t need to find more books seeking the truth. Seek the truth by listening to me in your head.
