"I AM (is) the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.", the I AM is the portal.

The sword Jesus brought is the truth there is no you, or me; there is nothing you can do because there is no you. There is no God, God is. People do not want to hear this, they like their self improvement books...

How amazing that different religions and spiritual paths can come together as one, for one purpose. The finding of the inner I AM. Tell me how amazing is our Universe that it can works in such ways unseen.

I'll leave with a quote from Nisargadatta Maharaj, author of the book "I Am That"

"To know what you are you must first investigate and know what you are not. And to know what you are not, you must watch yourself carefully, rejecting all that does not necessarily go with basic fact ‘I am’. The ideas: I am born at a given place, at a given time, from my parents and now I am so-and-so, living at, married to, father of, employed by, and so on, are not inherent in the sense ‘I am’. Our usual attitude is ‘I am this’ or ‘that’. Separate consistently and perseveringly the ‘I am’ from ‘this’ or ‘that’ and try to feel what it means to be, just to ‘be’, without being ‘this’ or ‘that’. All our habits go against it and the task of fighting them is long and hard sometimes, but clear understanding helps a lot. The clearer you understand that on the level of the mind you can be described in negative terms only the quicker you will come to the end of your search and realize your limitless being."
