I repeated this answer in another thread.....but because it sort of sums up my argument I would like to put it here too:-
I was asked several questions about WHO is I, and where does the I come from. In a nutshell here is how I see it.
The "I" is something which God can say or state. If God does not say or state "I" then it simply does not manifest. In a sense there is no "I" until God says so.
You could argue that it is the "I" which states God. If the "I" does not state God then does God exist? It is sort of a chicken and egg argument.
My personal preference is that God comes first and does not need the "I" in order to exist. Others seem to see it as the "I" comes first and does not need the God in order to exist.
I see these two possibilities as the two paths by which one can travel. Either God first or "I" first. My choice is that God have priority.
