I AM
A symbol of the self-conscious “I" of the Self,
reflected on the plane of the mind as the individuality enthroned in
the causal vehicle.
"For 'I am' is my rest in His seasons; even he who when He manifests
His plan, the Company of the Gods become His firstborn children." -
Book of the Dead, Ch. CX. (trans. Blackden).
The "I am is the true Individuality which is arrived at only as the
cycles (seasons) are seen to be illusory and impermanent. The
Individuality persists; for even the Logos, when he first determines
the emanating of a universe, requires the help of the Builders, or
Devas and Archangels, who become "his first-born children," that is,
come forth first in order to do his will.
(The "I am I" feeling is produced through the forthpouring of the
Divine life-consciousness into the forms which are temporary
conditions and set limits for a time to the consciousness. The
consciousness itself is one, but in the forms it appears as many.
The apparent breaks are due to the illusory limits of the forms.)
