How often have our prophets told us about God, have given us tips of how we can say no to the ego and say yes to the holy Now, but for some reason it never sticks. Moses once asked God for his His name and he responded "I Am that I Am", but we immediately got scared and mandated that His holy name should not be used in vain, or tried using it as some kind of power symbol to get something. The meaning of "I Am that I Am" is simple enough. The holy intersection of life flowing though us "I Am" gives us a glimpse of God. When life takes your breath away She is sure to walk next to you.

I Am that I Am
God, the devil and Adam went for a walk on a beach. Suddenly God stopped, picked up a stone from the ground, smiled and turned to Adam, "Here it is, the stone of wisdom, forever yours." Adam turned to the devil and grinned, " What can you do now?" The devil rolled his eyes and said "Never mind, I will make an institution out of it."

I Am, That I Am
The ego is the psychological institution that builds armor around you to protect you from what is. Most of this job was done for you; by your parents, by your friends and foes, by the country you are living in and the epoch you are born into. But then as you get older, you start building your own castle in the sky. The person you have to become; the goals you have set for yourself to finally be happy. And then there is the stuff under the surface that you don't really want to be aware of. And when it finally pops up you wonder what all that is about.
"I Am" is the realization that you are either happy now or never will. It is the observation that no matter where you look and turn, you are always perfectly protected and loved; you need no armor at all to deal with life. "I Am" is also the nod towards your shadow; the understanding that all your drives and passions are bubbling up from this source. Let the Tao remove all the armor from you and connect you with your energy source while cleaning up the clutter in your basement. The holy Now guides you home, all you have to do is to open up to life. I Am - That I Am!
