You seemed to infer that saying I AM love is stroking the ego whereas the association had to the infinite and the unlimited isn't ..
What does the infinite and unlimited refer to here if not I in some shape or form, what is the relevance of the unlimited in association with I?
What benefits are there had for I in regards to your opening post?
Who/m is the audience if not I?
Your thoughts on duality, lack and fear derives from where? and is directed to whom?
What I am getting at here is that it's all ego based isn't it .
What you are pointing to in regards to the unlimited or the infinite is something for those to strive for isn't it, if it takes their fancy to do so .
It is a self help reflection / exercise that is similar to the exercise of affirming love for oneself but you implied Our unlimitedness, is not just another ego stroke of encouragement .
So I am a little confused here because you are addressing peeps whom are ego based just as I was when I spoke about self loving .
You said 'Our unlimitedness has nothing to do with the ego other than the ego having a mindset of infinite abundance' but what has unlimitedness got to do with I AM? If not a form of encouragement for I that has an association to being unlimited or limited, loved or unloved ..
Without there being an ego audience what would your post mean? Without there being an association to what unlimited potential means what would the point of the post be?
Do you see what I mean? If the foundation of I AM is ego based then anything that points to beyond their current position of lack or fear will be a form of self help, encouragement, empowerment and I take it this was in part why you posted the thread ..
We can't really separate the unlimited from I AM unlimited because there is only what we are ..
If we were to only speak of the 'unlimited' that has no association to I AM then there would be no point addressing an audience about it .. would there?
How can you separate the ego's mindset of unlimited from that which is unlimited that is not related to I AM?
This is the crux of my point here .
Peeps therefore cannot say in my opinion that unlimited is absent of an ego stroke when the ego associates with what it is or means ..
Pride and vanity, loving self or being positive or negative in one's thinking matters not for ego is present .
I was simply suggesting that affirming a love for one's self is no different than striving for one's true potential or one's unlimitedness for both encapsulate a form of self empowerment for use of a better word .
If one is striving for unlimitedness then one is feeling lack where they are at, if one is wanting to self love then one is feeling a sense of lack from where they are at ..
