If you merely think of yourself as Tom Brown or Mary Jones
with your aches and pains and bills to pay, you are not thinking with power. But if you say, "I AM Tom Brown, the Christ," or "I AM Mary Jones, the Christ," then you are identifying yourself with the Eternal and the good. Now, make no mistake, you are not saying you are Jesus, the Christ. You are simply voicing your true identity as a child of God, Tom Brown or Mary Jones, the Christ. This is your new name which only you can use. It is fulfilling the prophecy which Jesus made, "The works that I do shall ye also do. . . . Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" Thus Jesus becomes the great diagram for living, and I AM is the Way by which we can follow", him in a personal demonstration of the Christ.
