Thy Name

THY NAME by Marie Watts

Thy Name Is I Am

“Fear not: I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee: and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. One shall say, I am the Lord’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” Isaiah 43:1-2-7-8-10. Isaiah 44:5-6.

Dear Reader, what is thy Name? What is your Identity? What name other than the “ONE” could establish your Identity? Thy Name Is I Am. “I AM” is Your Name. It is “I AM” that is established as your Identity. When all seeming misidentification is obliterated, the I AM that YOU ARE shows forth crystal clear, and You know your Self as You are, as You have always been, and as You ever will continue to be. Whereas You were, or seemed to be, blind, now You see.

Of course, there are some who still seem to prefer to be “called by the name of Jacob.” For yet a little while they will cling to the misidentification, the sense of a personal identity, but it doesn’t matter, for, “They shall all know Me, [the only Identity] from the least of them unto the greatest.”

Do you remember the fears and limitations of the misidentification named Moses? When he was faced with the task of freeing his people from bondage,  his  first  reaction  was  one  of self-disparagement. “And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?” Exodus 3:11.  All self-depreciation, self-condemnation, limitations, restrictions, are seemingly inherent in the misidentity, which is no identity. It was when Moses realized that He was that “I AM” that he went forth with confidence, with faith, in his ability to accomplish what had seemed impossible to his mistaken sense of identity. The same thing is true of all of us. In the name, Identity, of almighty God, we can do all things.

Indeed God has “called thee by thy name.” God has identified Himself as You. “Thou art mine.” You do not belong to yourself; You belong to God; and of yourself you are nothing, have nothing, know nothing. As God expressed, You are All, have all, perceive all. In this perception, there is no fear and no danger threatens. Here there is nothing destructive, harmful, or evil. Here you know that God has identified Himself as You; has given You His name; I AM. You have not chosen God; He has chosen You. He has chosen to evidence; manifest; His glorious Being as You. “Ye are my witnesses.” You are the evidence that I AM, and there is no other “I.”

Who or What is the God that has chosen you? It is your Self, your God Self, insisting upon being Itself as You. The inner response you feel is Self revelatory. It is your Absolute Identity in Self recognition. As your Self, You know as You are known; and eternal, beginningless, changeless, endless, conscious perfection is perceived to be your Entirety. Seeing the Light, by being the Light, Self recognition is complete.  Self-revelation is Self-illumination. You are the Light, and in You there is no darkness at all.

Now you can see what the Master perceived when He declared, “I am the Truth, the Life, and the Way,” for You also are the Truth, the Life, and the Way. This instant you stand in Your Entirety as all the Truth and all the Life and Mind that has been presented in the Ultimate. “And the way, ye know” because your conscious Identity is the way.

Go forward in the Light as the Light for You are the very brightness of His glory. He has identified Himself as You. He has given You His Name, “I AM.” You are free, and You know it. You are not under the law for you are the Principle of Your own Being. You are the “I AM” that is Self-governed, Self-sustained, and Self-maintained throughout eternity and infinity. This is the Absolute; this is the Ultimate; this is YOU.

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21: 1-3-4.

By many these verses from Revelation are considered to be a prophecy that heaven will appear in some distant future. Nothing could be more misleading than this misconception of the Truth as stated here. This is no prophecy. This is revelation; and what it reveals is the kingdom of God right here and now. This is not the way it shall be; it is the way it has eternally been, and will forever continue to be. Seeing the Light by being the Light, we know this to be true.

We do not struggle to become what we already are, nor strive to attain a kingdom that is eternally here. The tabernacle of God is within each of us because God expresses Himself as all of us. There shall no longer be even the appearance of sickness, sorrow, or death for the seeming surrender of our Identity has dissolved in the glorious Light of the Ultimate.

You are no longer a seeker after the Light. Rather it is that You are the Light Itself, rejoicing in Its own Self perception. Here You stand in the Light, as the Light, constantly expanding in Self revelation. Now You know that You have never surrendered Your Identity, have never been other than You are at this instant. You are fully aware of Your Absolute Identity as God identified. You are conscious of the glory You had with Him before the world began. Here and now, there are no fetters, restrictions or limitations; neither are there imperfections to be overcome, or problems to solve. Glorious and free, You are established as the eternal Light, glowing, expanding, illuminating Your Universe. Here, words come to an end.

Beloved, this is God’s gift to Himself. This is Your Entirety, Wholeness, Totality and Completeness. This is Your Truth, Your Life, Mind, Consciousness, Soul, Being and Body. This is YOU. Accept this gift of Self revelation and rejoice.
