Your ability to have a mind without concepts (thought) is called Christ/Buddha/Mushin-mind (non-judgemental mind). Mushin is the Japanese principle of mindless mind or “no-mind mind”, used by Budo-martial Artists. Rather than accepting the principle of “No Fear”, the concept is removed entirely by the practitioner. Failure by distraction through thought, method, or emotions is made impossible. As Christ is the Son of what is implied by God, and Christ-mind is your mind without concepts, then it stands to reason that your ability to be aware and create this space within the nervous system is God and a reflection of the creation taking place in the universe.
The “I am” recognition is that therefore the universe is aware that “It is”, just as the mind made that recognition before the pollution of duality (good/bad) was poured in by our parents. The realm are the collective minds but without dualism. The nature of the mind’s unknown capabilities are restricted by what you have been told is possible. So you restrict yourselves with knowledge. Nothing else. You are merely the vessel for what “the implication” of God is NOW. Is that so hard to believe? When you separate from the body, by Enlightenment or by the failure of the body to function, the “I” goes with you, but the Ego dies. You can take nothing with you, but that which has been revealed by will alone before physical expiry takes place.
