It's a form of the language which removes the verb to be. It's also in Wikipedia if you want to check that out (E-prime). I wish I could remove it from all of my language, but the thought of it is too much of a head ****.

I disagree. The way I see it is I am not who I was and I am not who I will be, but "I am" in this moment. The past and the future no longer and do not exist, but what "is" does exist, IMHO. This is how we are trapped in this modern world. What is associated with the name attached to you is not necessarily who you are in this moment. To not possess the power of "I am" is to deny the only power that you can truly possess.
Originally posted by unityemissions Okay I get it now. I thought my world was about to be turned upside down, only to find that I'm already here with you. This seems like too much wording for such a simple concept. All you are saying is that as a subjective being in spacetime we can't truly know objectivity, so to state something as an absolute, is false. The only moment is now, and every other is only an illusion. Am I missing something here, or is this the gist of what is being described.
