I am That, I AM (Page 5 of 24)

In the New Testament of the Bible when Jesus was challenged concerning His Divine Nature He responded by saying; "Before Abraham was, I AM."(Saint John 8:58)

Ye Are Gods

Jesus also points out, when they accuse Him of blasphemy because He said He was the Son of God, that the Jews own scriptures teach; "Ye are gods" ("I have said; Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High."-Psalm 82:6 and Saint John 10:33-36 Bible) The Apostle Paul teaches in the Bible that; "there be gods many, and lords many."(1 Corinthians 8;5)
 

Jesus on Hill

 Is Jesus the Way, the Truth and the Life?

 

Jesus used the Name of God in the form of "I AM Decrees" such as "I AM the Resurrection and the Life" and "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life."(Saint John 14:6) This does not mean that only "Jesus is the Way". Rather it means "the only Way is thru our "Mighty I AM Presence" and the Ascended Masters Who are One with Their Presence including Beloved Jesus. Jesus teaches thru the "Saint Germain Foundation" that the Ascended Master known as the "Great Divine Director" revealed to Him this identical Understanding and Application of the "Mighty I AM Presence." In the Eastern teachings of Sri Chinmoy he gives the Names of the Gods of the chakras, or the different Planes, as I think; LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, and AUM. I believe there is at least one more God not mentioned by Sri Chinmoy known as NAM or referred to as Sat Nam by the Sikh Religion & Eckankar. This is the Mantra or Name of God I would associate with the Heart Chakra. You may notice that the Divine Essence of all these Names of God is AM. I believe the Mantra AUM is actually made up of several Key Sounds; A-U-M, UM (pronounced Oom or Yoom) and AM. 'AM' is the Sound to connect you with your Higher-Self and 'U' or 'UM' is the Sound to connect you with the "Higher Planes of Soul". 

Salt Lake City LDS Temple

 

 Mormon Temple

In the Mormon-Temples members receive a "Secret Key Word" as they enter into the Endowment Room before passing thru the Veil into the Celestial Room. This unfortunately is only a "symbolic Name or Word of Divine Power" just as the Veil is symbolic of the division between the Inner and the outer worlds and the Celestial Room symbolizes the "Celestial Kingdom of Heaven". "The Real Name or Word of Divine Power is I AM." Joseph Smith, the Founder of the Mormon Church, was apparently a Mason so it is little wonder that there are similarities between the Mormon Temple and Freemasonry. Like cousins they both claim to have links to Solomon's Temple in the Old Testament of the Bible. The 33rd Degree Mason C. W. Leadbeater teaches: "In the Royal Arch [the Holy Royal Arch of Jerusalem, a continuation of the M. M. Degree or 3rd Degree] he passes beyond the substituted secrets and learns the genuine Word... For the true Word is the Name of God. (p277-278) The Degree of the H.R.A. [Holy Royal Arch] leads the neophyte a step further in his quest...His vision must be so purified that He can behold His presence with eyes unveiled. This attainment of true spiritual vision is symbolized by the Passing of the Four Veils on the road to the Heavenly City, the Sanctuary of Light and Peace; for the Veils represent those limitations of consciousness which blind his vision of the Truth." (p286-287 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater)

Greater Light and Knowledge

The L.D.S. Members (Mormons) are taught about the possibility of having their "Calling and Election Made Sure". I believe this means receiving the "Greater Light and Knowledge", promised in their Temples, from Beloved Jesus and the Ascended Masters. As the L.D.S. scriptures teach; “It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.” (Doctrine and Covenants 131:6) In the Book of Mormon there is a prophetic account of how the Gentiles will react to the additional words of God: "And because my words shall hiss forth-many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible... Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible...Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word?... I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and... I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not finished... Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written. For out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world."(2 Nephi 29:3-11) The members of the Mormon Church have been given a revelation through Joseph Smith their Prophet which was designated as the "olive leaf... plucked from the Tree of Paradise". In it the Lord's message includes this advice: "Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning, even by study and also by faith."(Doctrine and Covenants 88:118) This does not mean only the best Mormon books! I wonder how many Members of the L.D.S. Church take this advice or do they say: "The Words of God! The Words of God! We have the Words of God! We don't need any more of the Words of God from the Ascended Masters! We have the Words of our Prophets!" According to Joanna Cherry in her book "Living Mastery" (p7-9) "Hardly any Master departed for lighter realms, has left a record of how and when he or she did it. The story of one modern Master, however, is quite clear! Her name is Annalee Skarin. Annalee was a dedicated Mormon. In mid-life, she had the temerity to write a dazzling channeled book 'Ye Are Gods,' whereupon she was excommunicated from the church. Not long afterward, she disappeared... Annalee has published eight books in all, seven of them after her Ascension."
