What you can never be

Anything that you claim about yourself - I am this, that or the other - anything that you can claim in that way that has even the potential in changing, is not you. So, “I am,” is when you’re speaking about the beingness, the god in you. It is absolutely changeless. That part of your being is changeless. There’s nothing changing about it. It’s the same as it was, and it ever will be. So, we can play and put on many different coats throughout our whole experience here on the planet. On any given day, it could be any thing. I could get up in the morning and say, “I am a doctor. I am a this. I am a that.” and then I can change it tomorrow and say, “I am a bum. I’m not working.” So, anything that you can put on like that and change, or even have the possibility of changing, is not really who you are, and can never be who you are.
