What does it mean - I AM That? Yes, that is as it is because I AM as I AM. Were I different that would have to be different, so I am that that mirrors the being that I am, for what I see the world to be is a measure of my own level of consciousness, for whatever it is seen to be is a direct index to the level of consciousness of the observer of the world. It's not the world - I am that - I really am,- and that could not be other than what it is, while I remain as I am. The slightest change in my level of consciousness, the slightest change in the feeling of I am this, results in a corresponding change in that, which is the world round about me. Let me now desire peace and actually walk in the name of peace, that there is peace in my world, and I will look upon a world and I will see peace where others see conflict, for I am only seeing that at all times: so what is my authority? My authority is "I AM has sent me unto you" and I AM that I AM. Do I know it? If I know it I will never complain. If I broke my neck I would know you could not have done it unto me: I did it unto myself. If I find myself in any state in the world I could not complain for I have found the Law, I have found the Name by which all these things are gathered together.
The external world ("that") is a direct reflection or mirror of one's internal state of consciousness ("I AM"). Any change in one's feeling of "I am this" will inevitably result in a corresponding change in the outer world. Understanding this law means taking full responsibility for one's experiences and never complaining, as all things are gathered by the Name (I AM).
