There are two degrees of this consciousness, the first of which we will term the realization of the "I", a consciousness of "I" AM — a something which causes one to know he lives and has his being, independent of the physical body, a state in which all doubts of man's immortality are at once swept away, and he feels himself lifted up and away from this material plane to a life of sunshine and joy.

The second decree is the consciousness of, All life is One life and "I" AM that life, the "I" AM consciousness, which causes the pupil to recognize his oneness with the Universal Whole. "I" AM the highest manifestation of God's expression.

This awakening is the consciousness that, among all the worlds — suns and planets known and unknown to civilized man, "I" AM the highest expression thereof. The unfolding of this "I" AM life will enable the student to become Master and to solve the great secrets of the External Universe.
