Living, breathing I AM.
God may well be described as 'living, breathing I AM'. From experience I have learnt that life/being cannot wander far from it's core.
That core can be called I AM.
We can love others, we can love God, we can love all sorts, but we cannot wander too far from our own self.
Self love forms the core of reality IMO. If we wander too far from self love we get lost.

Self love is the foundation for loving others, imo.

Again, this morning I am reminded that I must not outgrow myself. My centre lies within me. Not outside.

Honza,
I am sorry but you are very difficult to follow. You post in General Religion….there are only two paths….seems to view the I AM as the worst possible thing while this post seems to praise it. What am I not understanding?

I'm torn in two concerning this issue. On the one hand I would love God to be selfless and good. On the other hand I understand the impracticalities of a God who is 'not Himself'.
In life I enjoy losing/immersing myself in others and otherness, but then reality comes crashing down and I remember that I am my own self.
To me it is all a dilemma.

Why not just let God 'Be' regardless of what you want,

Let which God be? The selfless, good one or the SELF one? I don't know who God is. There seem to be differences within Him.

Are the differences in God or your perspectives of God ?

EXODUS 3:14 might help you. It reads:
" God said to Moses, “I AM who I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”"
The word translated as God should have been translated as how that Hebrew word sounds like in Hebrew. It should have been translated as Elohim.
The other entity mentioned is rendered in English as LORD. That word should have been rendered something like how it is spoken in Hebrew and that is Yahweh.
It appears you resonate with Elohim. Elohim has completely different characteristics then Yahweh has. F rom what I have seen, most people resonate with Elohim but can not distinguish the difference between Yahweh and Elohim.

Honza,
What you are experiencing can be likened to a metabolism problem. Going between hot and cold. To find balance and harmony is to bring peace. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled”…..to be filled is to no longer have hunger or thirst….
