I Am That I Am

• I Am can mean existence, witness, knower, observer, the eternal Self, which separate from the objects or the world of existence. It is the intermediate stage of understanding and realise that the world is not what you see as it is. The world is not real but a dream state. 
• The world is like a dream, but it lasts longer, depends on your life span. It superimposes on you as the I Am. Just like the images play on a movie screen. The screen that is You, the I Am is merely a witness but not caught up or mentally involved with the worldly situations. 
• By witnessing detachedly, you understand the world is just a gigantic mental projection of everything. You observing your own shadow — God playing its game — maya. Once you realised, why  take life seriously?
• Like the teaching of neti, neti; not this, not that. Apart from you — yourself, I Am — nothing is real, including your own body. All are appearances, your own shadows.
• The impact is profound, when understand that the body is just a dream body and it does not exist. Only you, I Am — the eternal Self exists.
• The whole universe are just images, reflections from the mind — mental projections. But the humankind is so deeply hypnotised, collectively, we take the mental projections as real, and obsessed with our own projections. Like a mirage in desert, we take the refection of water from sand as real water. 
• So called human life, is also a mirage which is also our mental reflection, yet we take it as real and take everything in life so seriously. 
• As a result, we fight for our survival since birth. We struggle and suffer until we die. Because we lack the wisdom to understand that even birth and death are mental projections. The universe is mental concept.
• So we are living within this confined, delusional and limited self created dream world, continue our dream life, from birth to death, generation after generation, living like a programmed robot, deeply hypnotised. Cannot jump out of the box.
• Since everything is mind’s projection, there is no creator, so there is no cause of existence. When you have this deep and profound understanding on your own real being, then a shocking impact will lead you to ask the ultimate question: who am I? 
• The truth is that you have never been born, or died. You are what you are. You are not of this world. As long as there is mind, the world of existence follows. But you are independent. No mind no world. You are not the mind, the body, so the world. Then who am I?
• This will lead to another deep understanding of the idea of no self, egolessness because the mind creates the sense of false I — the fake I — in order to take ownership, to be individualised and therefore split from his or her true self — the I Am. 
• The ultimate reality is, actually you are nothing, eternally nothing, no beginning, no ending; you are also everything — the infinite imaginary images on the gigantic screen. The screen is your true Self. The ultimate reality which is non manifested, pure consciousness, nirvana, Tao. But no word can describe or define That. All descriptions are false and missing the mark. Neti-neti. Not this not that.
