My Own I Am.
 
I realise now - in my 50's - that the whole I Am thing is where my life went wrong. I chickened out of I Am and settled for 'we are' and 'God is'. This did not work. Everybody needs their own 'I Am' and now I need mine.

So it is a matter of knuckling down and generating my own sense of I Am. This is often what happens with psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. But I cannot afford an analyst and so I am on my own. It is a bit scary at times. But I feel I will prevail.

Honza, you are, you always were and always will be, get used to it.
Don't over-complicate things.

Hidy-Ho, Honza :smile:



You might find what Joseph Campbell has said and written in this regard informative and inspiring. Here's a tidbit:

I worry so much about being God. It is a very new concept for me.

Hey H -

What is it that 'worries' you? What are you 'afraid' of?

Hi davidsun,

It is a form of existentialism. The 'unbearable lightness of being'.....

Existence is tough. It is scary. If I call myself God then will I make it worse?

You have to stop following others' ideas, and discover the reality on your own. It is the best way.

Honza 28-06-2020 07:12 AM

Other people's ideas are a part of my own reality. I have learnt so much from 'out there'...

I understand, but how do you know who is right, to follow them? I believe you can't know who's right. This is why I think that experiencing your inner source of knowledge is the only way.
