Not to sound Cliché...in fact I just googled Cliché and it is beautiful...but I consider myself an atheist or at least did...im looking for some help because my mind was just opened...i need information. No religion crap please only people who this speaks to. Im sure your out there.
 
Say to yourself, "I AM..."

Anything you include after those first two words are what you are not.

Have fun in your explorations, you have a very interesting and fruitful seeking ahead of you. 😉
 
You are Man! You can live on all planes of reality while in this body, from future to past experienced in the moment of now. You are many things, a multiversial being, you can see reality on many view points and transfer that knowledge or feeling through a complex speech and or movements with the body. Your imagination is constantly growing and if is not then you life may be the same every day. There is only change when you do something different all the time or some of the time. But that is just my understanding in short form of what it is to be man!

During a mushroom experience I had a loop dealing with "I AM..." it did not take long for me to reject all of the "things I AM" and realize that it is simply "I AM." but then I realized that even "I AM." is not accurate and that, in truth, "I BE". That was a revelation that brought much peace to my soul...and a peace that lingered for an incredibly long time after the experience.
 
Good point Snozzle. I BE is as good a foundation as any. The word (language is always inadequate with these concepts) that I like to use for this state is:

Awareness.

Be also aware of the phenomena of needing to define 'me'. We are trained to move quickly from the unknown to the known by labeling experience with information and interpretation.

Asking who is it that needs more information can lead into being, into the 'i be'. Notice if there is anything truly lacking, information or otherwise. Paradoxically, out of the unknown of just being, spontaneously rises a knowing, without attempt, cognition, thought or need. Just make room for it.

May your opening continue infinitely.

Namaste
