BACK TO BASICS: I WAS NOT, THEN I WAS POTENTIAL, THEN I WAS THAT, and the rest is history

 BACK TO BASICS

Exodus 3:14  I AM THAT I AM.
John 8:58, "Before Abraham was, I am".

WHO ARE YOU?  I AM NOT A YOU.  I AM A THAT.  WHAT WERE YOU BEFORE YOU WERE THAT?  I WAS NOT THAT.  WHAT WERE YOU?  I WAS POTENTIALLY THAT.  WHAT WERE YOU BEFORE YOU WERE POTENTIAL.  I WAS NOT.  I AM YOU.  YOU CAN CALL ME GOD, OR JOE.  I AM TOM, GEORGE, LUCY, AND SUSIE, AND DOGS AND CATS, AND OBJECTS THAT DON’T MOVE.  I AM EARTH, OCEAN, WIND, AND SUNSHINE.  I AM THE DARK AND THE LIGHT.  

A tree is I am (life) being a tree.
A rock is life being a rock.
A human is life being a human.
Humans think they are special pieces of life.
Life is infinite, unbound, unlimited.
When life morphs itself into forms, the forms are finite, bound, limited.
Most of the forms don’t think anything at all.  They don’t know they are a form of life.  Humans are one exception.  They actually think they are the form, while having no idea how they became a form, or why they are a form.

When I was a caveman, I looked around and saw life being other cavemen, rocks, trees, and dinosaurs.  I wondered why life is being all these thing.  Anyway, since I was enjoying myself, I wondered if rocks, trees, and dinosaurs had the capacity to feel joy.  But it didn’t matter either way, because I figured that life was enjoying itself being rocks, trees, and dinosaurs.  However, for some reason, when life became cavemen, life as cavemen gave cavemen the capacity to feel joy, and, of course, the capacity to feel sorrow.   

It is kind of obvious, kind of self-evident, that life is being everything, every person place and thing since no one can claim to having made cavemen, rocks, trees, and dinosaurs.

Still curious as to why life gave humans the capacity to think they are not life being them, but rather, think they are being themselves, and separate from life.

You are life being you.
You are a piece of life.
When you stop thinking you are you, and instead realize you are life being you, that will drive your mind nuts, because it was trained to think it actually is a you.

What’s going on?  Life became a lot of things, and some of those things think pretty highly of themselves.  You’re talking about squirrels?  No.  I’m talking about humans.  They think they’re special.  

NO THING (BEING NOT, NOT BEING) POTENTIAL, AND MOST OF THE THATS, ARE INCAPABLE OF WILL, MOTIVATION, JOY, SORROW (AS HUMANS EXPERIENCE IT).  Devolving from a human that, to potential, to not being, to no thing, is impossible because once not a “human that” no will, no motivation.  Plus, the I AM (life) may have other potential ideas.  WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
