The I AM that I AM in the Bible actually describes "Your Father in Heaven" as mentioned by Master Jesus in the NT. This I AM is God who directly created you. In some circles, this God is called your Higher Self (the future perfected You who is currently in Heaven). This is why Jesus was able to say, I AM as himself because in actuality, we are all ONE with God as I have said numerous times. It is not talking about a name nor is this I AM the Ultimate Creator. The I AM references to the ONE PERSON who is God. Therefore, we are all but many different forms of God, streaming back to the single I AM that I AM. Let me quote from a thread that I wrote several months ago to clarify the origins of the I AM so you would better understand.
"Before the creation of the known, Material Universe, before there was a single being or any star system, the only place that existed was the “World of Allness.” The World is outside of the “World of Form.” There is no form in the Allness. We have been reincarnating in a World made out of form for too long, so we don't understand nor recognize what it means to be without form. But anyways, in the “World of Allness,” there are beings known as The Presences or in some spiritual circles as The Unknown or The Ain Soph.
And One of the Presences wanted to experience what it is like to have some kind of form and know what it means to be separate from Source. The Ain Soph created the First Beings of Existence from The World [of] Form, which is Alpha and Omega (Father & Mother Forces). Next, The I AM was created, followed by The I AM that I AM. This I AM is many, many, many levels higher than your own Higher Self. Your Higher Self is a representation of the original I AM that I AM. Please don't worry about the terms I'm throwing at you. Just understand the big picture."
If you read this correctly, this paragraph describes creation even before our Universe came into existence, and it describes the original I AM Presence. There are many I AM Presences that go lower and lower until you reach our sphere of existence. I spoke earlier of your Higher Self (this is God whom everybody prays to, either you call Him Father or just God) and this is the lowest I AM Presence to the Physical World. There are many levels that go up through the Universe chain of Ascended Beings known as the I AM. When you reach Salvation or Ascension to Heaven, you also become/merge with your I AM Presence. Therefore you can then say, "I AM that I AM" just like Master Jesus.
Those interested on more about this information can read my second thread.
My first thread is the prerequisite to the second. So you might want to read it first if you want to understand the entire thing.

There are a few reasons why the teachings that I give are God's Truth. I'm at the point in my spiritual training where I have almost merged completely with God (Higher Self), therefore my intuition and 6th Sense are extremely heightened. The information I give you were mostly, for lack of a better word, "channeled" from my Higher Self or God. As I said before in another post, it's not really "channeling," but more like direct knowledge, because I AM ONE with God. I have started the process of merging over a year ago. But the process itself takes time. As long as I continue to increase and transcend my Divine Love and Wisdom each day, my heart will naturally come back to God in Full. This is evident in my increased Light, even manifesting into my physical body. My teachings, again, are Universal. If you study any religion in the world, diving deep into its esoteric wisdom, you will find the same concepts in every religion or spirituality. The outer congregations most likely will not understand God's Truth hidden in their religion; but the "Elite" members know some of this Truth. But I ask, "What is Truth?" Truth by God's definition is your "Current Level of Understanding of the Universe." Because by tomorrow, you should have transcended that understanding, and thus the Truth has evolved to the Next Level.

For some it might be a completely different set of variances, for example a crocadile with a moon reference; or a cartoon Smurf sitting in a boat on 'writers/illustrators with gigantic erasers' infested waters-without a paddle. Time honored only means one thing "time tested". The Tree of Life is layered in meaning and I will tell you this; is so complex I can take any scripture of the bible and place it within the tree and both will correlate, its that esoteric and magikal.

Sure we are; nothing manifests until certain things iron themselves out; its a process of "nothingness" becoming something. Nothing really happens physically until imagination and reason/logical thought as polarities collide within Yesod (mankinds subconscious) then we see true material form become heavy dense matterform.

As far as the tree of life is concerned their are others attached to the original 10, including Daath (the abyss), and Qliporith (defines the lower world that houses demons and lost souls); that makes 12; give me some time I will figure out the hidden 13th, probably me or you as the student attempting to decifer the code (forgive me I am really tired tonight and not on my game); yesterday was a "Bad Day at Black Rock" senario.

Not the dreaded word 'channeled' as I as well am a direct conduit to 'something' (it calls itself Origin and insists I am one and the same); just incarnate in the material/matter world HERE. One could lable this a telepathic transference in another age (direct contact with) and the entire point is to expose/give knowledge of the truths regarding anything you wish to be instructed upon (one has to ask the question first and know why they are asking to recieve this information). I suppose I am trying to say this is not easy to accomplish and must work at this level of enlightement, its not given Rote form to the casual dabbler. Every truth one uncovers allows for the next one as its a process of revelations one truth describes the next, like a flower opening, petal by petal; the method achieved by varies, but will not happen by simple prayer or random wishes to such aims easily come by (there is no shortcut to this state of being in complete Gnosis); like all things takes diligent perserverance.edit on 5-3-2014 by vethumanbeing because: (no reason given)

Hermes Trismegistus collected writings or 'the Hermetica' is just a rurgitation of the Egyptian (god) wisdoms of Thoth; and are thought to be one and/or the same being! Great Great translates to 'very' at some point as alls well that ends well in the very verys and Greats. Their is also the idea that the 3 verys mean the great religions, Islam, JudeoChristian, Buddhism (off cuff remark): If Abraham's lineage was the source of "Sarah" produced the eventual 'Jesus' bloodline and was as well the source of "Hagar" producing Mohammed, (Islam) where do the Jews fit in here? Abraham was Moses's prophet.

I agree brother.
We are all God experiencing itself from infinite perspectives, ever changing and ever growing. It continues to grow even after we leave these bodies because life is eternal, there are no gaps in-between and we will have life even after death instantaneoulsy because of the fact that there are no gaps. We will be born again physically through birth and we can also be born again spiritually through understanding, wisdom, and open-mindedness.

Great, so you’re are getting the answers from within yourself in a Gnostic tradictional fashion, rather than from a book…great…This is how God has revealed truth to me also, and is the true essence, of what “Flowing in the Spirit of the Lord”, is really all about IMO…
This is also pretty much on topic with my OP; So what is this process that your doing/going through, in order to merge with God…?
ctophilWell said, my friend. Vethumanbeing simply said that it is a direct method of communication with higher beings, but most importantly with your personal Higher Self. When you are ONE with God, it really is no longer communication. Knowledge and wisdom are passed on to you through an entirely single stream into your consciousness. The word, "channeling," still describes separation. We have to describe it as so: God's Will is Your WIll, Your Will is God's Will. God's Thoughts are Your Thoughts. Your Thoughts are God's Thoughts. At this level, Oneness with God is no longer symbolic, but now is literal. A long time ago, there were hundreds of people who were able to be ONE with each other while still on physical Earth. Their thoughts were able to be telepathically linked with other highly spiritual people, capable of international and interplanetary communication without cell phones or technology. It is still possible today, but two people must be at pretty close levels of Spirit in order to talk through their hearts.
As my sister said, it does take a great Love in your heart of hearts to be disciplined and persevered to be ONE with God. Prayer is fine if you just started on the Spiritual Path. But again, prayer is another word for separation. Because you are talking to God instead of being God. This is why as you progress, your inner Light increases steadily until you are at your maximum potential (Current Level Max, there are infinite levels back to God) and become as Enlightened and Powerful as your Ascended Self or God. At this point, you will be face-to-face with God.
JoecroftFirst of all, you’ve responded to one of my previously highlighted parts of our discussion. The only reason I highlighted, it, was to show the flow of our discussion.For example, from my original post below…
“EGYPTIAN origin”…hmm, You mean, the “Winged Sun/Disc” with two lions standing guard, on either side?" Your first response was this below;
"YES and thats another modern version; "Holy Order Winged Disk" that still exists today is all, likenned to the Rosicrusion Order (rosycross); nothing but a repast or remnant that continues as time honored tradition".
Next you’ve responded to my previous post again below….
“EGYPTIAN origin”…hmm, You mean, the “Winged Sun/Disc” with two lions standing guard, on either side? But now your reply to it, is slightly different…
"No I mean the entire concept of the 'Tree of Life" and its steps or levels starting from Kether (non-awarness but existing) to Malkuth (the solid material kingdom of man); not just the iconic symbolism of the lions, that is a 'Ra' reference to this god being actually the sun/emanations/power.

Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, Nepthys, making up 5 to 365 during the zodiac sign of Leo, Ra (son God)".
My response to your re-response above, is this: That’s what I think the Sun disc represents, i.e. the Sun Represents “Keter”, and the 2 Lions represent Chokhmah and Binah respectively…It’s the top part of the “Tree of life! in another coded form…IMO

More so that the 'icons' (lions polarity on either side of a sun disk) represented are supposed to ring a bell of truth within each indivdual participating (vibrate that truth that resonates).

JoecroftCheck out the “Aker”. The “Aker” depicted a double lion image, facing away from each other, which represented the beginning and the end of each day. The Lion on the left was named, “Sef” meaning “yesterday”. While the Lion on the right was named “Tuau” - meaning “today”.

Because 'wisdom' male cannot exist without something called an 'understanding' female of what that is and polarising it (sorry thats the way the tree works); and we are not yet beyond the first Sephiroths. Why is it female would be like asking why not? You should see the totality of the left column side of the tree, Severity vs Mercy (it gets worse).
JoecroftI’m not an expert on the Tree of life, but I do find it fascinating. Wisdom is regarded as the application of knowledge. But it’s seems to me, that knowledge doesn’t necessarily lead to understanding; understanding is something else which is a separate mechanism on it’s own, but uses knowledge to formulate itself.
And it’s the same with understanding, because understanding something doesn’t automatically lead to Wisdom. But Wisdom does use knowledge and understanding together, to formulate and produce itself i.e. Wisdom. So Yeah, you’ve answered correctly.
Joecroft
I never knew, nothing had yet manifested, in the physical realm. I guess we’re not even having this conversation lol.(Hint lol) “Don’t respond to the above, that’s just me highlighting our previous discussion point, so you can see the flow of the conversation.”

JoecroftOh I see, you were using a form of descriptive license, to describe how nothing happens in the physical realm, until it first takes shapes first in the subconscious mind or soul of the individual… sounds about right.
VHBI havent looked at the 'flower of life' give me a another minute. As I said before, throw down some scripture and I will be able to relate it to the exponencial possibilites of explaination within the Qabalah.

Here it is again: Revelations.

You can see it…Wow…
You see there’s potential evidence that Horus was believed to be the “Alpha and Omega”, and I think this is what the Aker represents, i.e. it’s not Sun worship, at all IMO…
Also the “Winged Sun disc” was used on some Hebrew Scrolls…seems like Moses took more than just a few Egyptian ideas with him, before the Exodus…
