I have noticed that nobody actually seems to agree with anyone else. Everyone has their own point of view.[/quote]
But we can 'All' agree to differ  |

Why we find no agreement might be because there is not a convenient scripture at hand to define it. It is like God saying “Put on your big boy pants and put some serious thought into this”. When that does not prove successful go to where you should have gone in the first place….the Spirit. |

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

It seems that all the "I am" guessing came from God's saying to Moses that He is "who He is" (as in "names don't matter"). As usually, people misunderstood and made it something that wasn't intended to be. People focus too much on perceptions, and too little on interpreting their perceptions.
For context:
https://biblehub.com/exodus/3-14.htm
I find it interesting that this is Exodus 3.14 (the " pi" number). It could be just a coincidence.

inavalan,
The context was of little help to me. Do you have a perception that you can share ? I will say that ‘I’….although universal, is solely unique to every individual….ie….if God tells me his name is I it is nonsensical for me to address Him as I……unless that implies unity with God…… |

…13Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”
14God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
15God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.…
To me, the formulation is simple and clear: 'I am "who I am"'. The name doesn't matter. He is the God of their fathers, ... That is his name, "who he is".
Again, to me, God says his name doesn't matter; it matters who he is: the God of their fathers ...
Your speculation about 'I', God telling his name, unity with God, seems beyond the point to me.
