This discussion is focused on the "I Am".
We find in Exodus 3:14 "God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
Then in the New Testament we find this;
Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
This is found in the Writings of Krishna
Chapter 10, Verse 8 "I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts."
It says in the same chapter in verses 19 and 20 these provoking thoughts;
Chapter 10, Verse 19 "The Blessed Lord said: Yes, I will tell you of My splendorous manifestations, but only of those which are prominent, O Arjuna, for My opulence is limitless".
Chapter 10, Verse 20 "I am the Self, O Gudakesa, seated in the hearts of all creatures. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings."
It goes on in the above chapter to show the extent of the "I Am".
Then in 1844 the Bab made this declaration".
"I am, I am, I am the Promised One! I am the One whose name you have for a thousand years invoked, at whose mention you have risen, whose advent you have longed to witness, and the hour of whose Revelation you have prayed to God to hasten." - The Báb
There is much more in the writings of the Bab, thus is but another passage;
“I am the Primal Point from which have been generated all created things. I am the Countenance of God Whose splendour can never be obscured, the Light of God Whose radiance can never fade.”
– The Bab
Thus that is what we all get to ponder, we all get to explore what it is that is the 'I AM'
The question is also the observation.
Why is it that the I Am is found in all God given Faiths?
Why is it, that some Faiths decide the “I Am“ is only applicable to their Faith?
