Do you think I AM is safe?

[Honza]

My guess is that many people do not call themselves God because they feel it is not safe to do so. However many people also feel that it is safe. I am uncertain. I tread very carefully when approaching I AM, and the reason is to play safe.

Do you feel it is safe to call yourself God or not?

[Miss Hepburn]

I always feel safe, protected and loved, even when I make
mistakes---I have no fear of God, my Father... no need to 'play it safe'.
At moments of Cosmic Consciousness I was given glimpses of being the All and the All in me, sure.
But, truly I have a devotee's heart -so am satisfied with adoring God's Presence and Spirit...rather than
wanting or feeling I am Him.

[Unseeking Seeker]

Within the realm of maya (darkness), we feel separated from is-ness of our true being-ness. We may call the truth whatever we like ‘mentally’ … that thought is not the ‘thing’.

As such, if we say we are here and God is somewhere out there, we are merely reinforcing the thought of separation, of delusion.

All fears are related to the conviction that we are only mind-body (which will perish).

Mindful thought rested stillness, moment to moment, all moments combined is the way … all other ‘methods’ ultimately steer us towards inner silence.

For this explanation there are few things to know and to keep in mind:
1.Your body is not 'God'
2.God is not physical.
3.God's ways are not our ways.

Then you have to have this rare knowledge (it answers a statement from your other thread where you questioning the strength of Christ, as well)
You are living in Duality while God is one.
Therefore you are not God alone.

I am not God without you, and you are not God without me.
Just like Christ (or better said: The Holy Spirit) is not God without Us.

To answer your question "Is it safe to say":

It depends to whom you are saying it.

For example, if you have someone like me, who knows about this, then you can say it an i will answer you "yes, you are".

The danger (but not a threat ) lies if you say it to someone who does not believe in God.
He may ask you to prove it, and if you fall for this tricky question, you won't be able to do.

The danger is this:Your faith may be lessened and his unbelief will be strengthened.
Then depending on how low your faith falls, you may need to find the way to raise it up ...

Anyway, knowing this, ask yourself: what can the Holy Spirit do, if you have doubt in him?

Can you truthfully say it to yourself?

[utopiandreamchild]

God IS love.

None of us are separate from god.

We can all choose to experience god simply by choosing to love.

I Am a Full-time lover, love is my constant companion.

God is always with me. Or Goddess if you would.

Amen. Praises.

If you mean my post - Yes i can, but ...

Look at following reasoning:

You do not become God by saying "I am God". (In space-time place, it is easy to forget, therefore you can say it to remind yourself and to remember.)
God does not become God by saying "I am God"

God can become everything else, but he can't become what he already IS.

Therefore for him, to say it, would be as to say nothing.
BTW: doesn't the bible says something like "Be still and know"

This is the issue. Is it safe for me to call myself God? I practice affirmations. But it does not feel comfortable yet. I fear turning into a monster.

Simply put - calling oneself God.
