I AM THAT I AM

CHAPTER XII

On the Luminous Ladder of Ascent to the LIGHT, human nature must break its ties with matter. 

The organic constitution of every individual is the same and the nutrition of the body must be continuously lightened so that the Light flows more readily. When the physical body is properly used, its influence on man is practically nil, allowing man to come and go in accordance with the dictates of his Service. 

The physical body complements the energy received from the foods it is fed, but when man embarks on the refining process, the process where by all his bodies are rendered ever more subtle, the selection of foods must undergo the same process; they must be "subtle", lighter and healthier and as free from toxins as possible so that any residues left in the body do not interfere with its energy flow. 

All processes are dual processes and just as the convenience and comforts of the material world entrap man, so does his diet. Highly spiced, over processed foods laced with chemicals, retard digestion, saturate the blood with heavy elements and lower the body’s vibrational level. 

The diet of anyone involved in a cleansing process as the means to a finer, less dense body, must likewise be increasingly lighter. This does not mean "stop eating." It means "eat smart", know what to eat so that the physical body does not channel all your energy into a process that should be short, and not rob your other bodies of energy at all. 

Human nature busies itself nourishing its densest parts. But one’s nourishment should be less substantial with every passing day. Heavy foods that hinder evolution must be replaced. It is well known that a great deal depends on the vibrational level of he who consumes the food, but is also known that the finer the lower level, the faster the Light can manifest there. This means a diet for each of your different states: mental, emotional and physical. With careful, food selection and the intake of less substantial elements bring a lighter, subtler body. 

The evolutionary process implies a thorough cleansing, and you should feel the force of the Light as it dislodges the darkness that’s been feeding off you. It is time for an overhaul, time that each body receive the nourishment suited to its nature. A cleansing allows the "I AM" Presence to lodge in your vehicle. You cannot ingest foods with low vibratory rates and expect to house the MAGIC PRESENCE IN YOUR TEMPLE. JESUS said: "Not that which Goeth into the mouth defileth a man but that which comes out of the mouth, this defileth a man.... But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man." And it is true, very true that when you understand you cannot be a temple and a cemetery factory at the same time, you will have to choose one or the other. Be careful of those parts still demanding elements not in keeping with the cleansing process; you must realize that this is not nourishment in the normal sense of the word, but rather a matter of vibration, a subtilizing process, a repolarization of the LIGHT. 

It is not possible to continue a game of "yes and no," for your higher bodies need to express and to do that, the lower body must be in a condition to allow it. It is not contrary to the manifestation of energy to be selective in terms of that through which it would flow; every object vibrates and must attune its rate to that of the higher energy so that the higher may express itself unhindered. 

Every evolutionary process leads to an increase in vibratory rate, so you are asked to monitor well the VIBRATION of your food. It should possess HARMONY, and be prepared and consumed in PURITY. In this way its energy passes directly to your blood raising your vibratory level rather than staying in the body, detouring energy and breaking down into elements that postpone the Manifestation of the Light. 

Your body should be a shining lamp that REFLECTS THE PERFECTION OF THE LIGHT and not a tiny smoking flame that obscures vision. Perfect behavior in all areas of endeavor is required. You should be an IMPECCABLE SOURCE OF LIGHT so that those seeking can perceive the Message and find the Path that leads to your presence: a CHANNEL of the "ONE." 

More consciousness is required of you in terms of your daily activities. You cannot feed your lowest part and manifest the highest at the same time. You must establish Order in your body, and the degree to which you do is the degree to which you will receive the Light; the Light that nourishes every cell via the Centers which in truth let the DIVINE ENERGY flow. In this way, your CHRIST PRESENCE is placed in your tabernacle. 

Your acts must reflect consciousness of the reasons. You can no longer move blindly along the Path. A STEP TOWARD CONSCIOUSNESS LEADS TO ANOTHER OF GREATER CONSCIOUSNESS and part of the process is the subtilizing, the lightning of the food you eat. 

You are not being told to stop eating. You are being told to KNOW WHAT AND WHEN TO EAT. You are being told to PURIFY YOUR TEMPLE SO THAT THE HOLY "I AM" PRESENCE MAY DWELL WITHIN YOU, ACTING THROUGH YOUR BODY. You cannot be a trash heap and a shining lamp at the same time. Stop letting your stomachs control you, stop using your body as a dumping ground. Your blood should feel Purity as it courses through your veins, not the toxins of foods impeding your evolution. 

This is a message of the "I AM" asking the greatest PURITY in your Actions, you cannot be temples and garbage cans at the same time. 

" I AM" the SOURCE OF LIGHT within you, "I AM" THAT WHICH POURS INTO YOUR BODY THE DIVINE ESSENCE THAT KEEPS YOU FROM HUNGER AND THIRST. "I AM" YOUR NOURISHMENT. PREPARE FOR ME A TEMPLE THAT IS PURE AND I WILL REIGN THOUGH YOU AND YOU WILL NEVER FEEL THE NEED FOR ANYTHING EXTERNAL AGAIN, for "I AM" YOUR COMPLEMENT, THAT WHICH IS WAITING TO UNITE EVERY ONE OF YOUR ACTIONS WITH MY OWN. 

FOR MY EXPRESSION THROUGH YOU. 

"I AM" THAT "I AM"
