Introduction

The Power of I AM is not a book to be read once and put on the shelf. It is not going to transform your life just because you read it. If you are expecting it to reveal some sort of secret that, by just knowing it, will transform your life, more than likely you will get very little out of it and will be extremely disillusioned. As I have personally discovered in my own studies of metaphysics, it is not what is contained in a book that will enlighten or illumine me, but what I apply to my life. If there is no application of the laws or revelations contained within this book, then you will have nothing more than a conversation piece. Only those who apply what is contained herein can hope to benefit from its contents. Knowledge alone, while interesting and entertaining, doesn’t have the power to change or enrich your life. It is only through the application of knowledge or any law that we can hope to benefit from it. Ten people may read the same book and get ten different results, and it has less to do with the book than it does with the people reading it.

One person may read a book and, without any personal experience, come to a conclusion and deny that it contains any truth. This does not make it so, nor does it confirm what the book claims. Such a reader will not understand what the person who has read it ten times and applied the principles for a year or five years, or just chooses to live life as such, will understand. By following the principles within this book, as with any metaphysical book, you alone hold the power to transform, enrich, enlighten and illumine your life, beyond measure. Quite a courageous claim? It is true with most metaphysical books. It solely depends on the reader how much will be garnered from any book.

As someone who has come to appreciate what metaphysics offers to anyone who is sincerely seeking truth, it is with this in mind that this book was chosen for publication. If a reader were to tell me he or she received nothing from reading it I would have to question if the principles contained herein had in fact been applied and practiced. I say “question”, because there is no way of knowing if the reader is being honest with us, or themselves. Although "The Power of I AM" as a book is just now being revealed to the world, in the form of a compilation from some of the more insightful teachers of the last century, I believe that all those who read it now have a chance to see what each and every human being has had an opportunity to realize, before them, through other sources. That is: I AM is who we are, I AM is consciousness, I AM is Love, I AM is a gift to mankind, and I AM is the power that we all possess. If you understand this and apply it, you will discover a new world, in which you can and do live. Once you learn The Power of I AM you will begin to become more and more conscious of what you add to your I AM, for what you add to your I AM with feeling will embody itself in your world. Rediscover the meaning of I AM, that has been lost to the world.
