… following-on from a post/conversation yesterday:
Church Set Free:
“Putting off the ‘love bit’”

.

 – – – – – – – – – – – –

I am Christian

I am Atheist

I am Hindu

I am Naturist

I am Muslim

I am Mother

I am Scientist

I am convicted

I am …

 – – – – – – – – – – – –

 

Before all of these is 

(just)

“I am”

.

 – – – – – – – – – – – –

.

I Am.

Nothing more.  Nothing less.  Nothing (needs) adding.  Nothing (needs) changing.

I Am.

Is complete.  Is authentic.  Is real.  Is now.

I Am.

All the rest is “culture”.  A culture of fitting-in and standing-out.

Of labels, compartments and pigeon-holes.

Of hiding the fear to be naked with each other.

Naked of image, of label, of assumption, of ego.

I Am.

”  Is  “

Am I?

Are you?
