My journey with the law of attraction and manifestation began as a burnout melancholic university student that stumbled upon the life-altering teachings of ‘Teal Swan’. The universal law resonated with me in otherworldly ways and I followed my fascination and curiosity down a mystical path of awakening. Over the years I studied the law extensively and whilst healing my inner world, I simultaneously practised creating my reality. Like an artist, I have allowed my heart to paint my world.

I came to realise that no technique was more effective in manifesting my desires more than the use of affirmations. As I delved deeper into this practice I found no expression or phrase that brought about my manifestation so certainly and swiftly as the use of ‘I AM’; better yet, I found that the conscious use and understanding of these words allowed me to accelerate the process further.

In this article I will be dissecting this powerful manifestation technique, providing an in-depth explanation of how to use it and what it means. I intend to empower you and expand your awareness further, sharing with you the secrets of the universe. We live in a time-space reality where we are all worthy of the wishes contained within the genie lamp, the universe is abundant and you are free to wish your way to your dream world.

Please be mindful that the information I bring forth is by no means an absolutist truth, I encourage you to design your truth according to what your heart resonates with. I intend to expand your consciousness and empower you along your awakening process. I am dropping seeds that only you can water and through the light, you will bloom your own unique flower.

We Are Creators

To uncover the true power within the ‘ I AM’ affirmations, we must first explore the law of attraction and bring our true power to the surface of our consciousness once again.

Everything is energy vibrating at different frequencies and the law of attraction states that a particular frequency will attract that of a similar frequency. Just as the objects in the physical dimension around us hold unique vibrational frequencies, so too does the spiritual world of non-form, meaning every thought carries a frequency of its own. The law of attraction can be observed within our headspace by simply producing a thought and watching as a similar thought arises. We see that we fall into negative thought patterns, attracting more and more low vibrational thoughts that send us swirling downwards into pits of despair.

This alerts us to the notion that thoughts are indeed things and are sent directly out to the universe. Every thought casts out a wave of energy, acting as a living magnet, drawing like waves unto itself. The mind uses thought to cultivate and manifest energy, when we focus our minds on a particular thought, we eventually give that thought enough momentum to manifest into the physical dimension. For us divine beings in these physical vehicles, this is where our creation starts. Everything in the material world around us was once a thought, the mind is the cause and the earth is the realm of effect.

Such information propels many on their journey of awakening as a new consciousness blossoms within them. Even the most sceptical of minds can explore these concepts and are astounded as they create tangible evidence to suggest the true power of their minds. A sometimes painful leg of the journey can be the realisation that we have allowed our inner world to create our outer world and a rearrangement of our life is necessary to follow the burning desire to live in alignment with our inner callings. Now we learn to create the colourful tapestry of our life from the pureness of our heart.

Through extensive inner work and exploration of our selves, we dig deep into our traumas and uncover the vibrational frequencies residing within our very being that are repelling our heartfelt desires. Through the use of meditation we learn to observe our minds and become the I AM presence, allowing us to consciously separate from the ego and develop a firm grip on the waves that we send out to the cosmos.

With the understanding of the law of attraction and our ability to consciously create our reality, we see that as a creator we were born with the light and consciousness of source (God) within us, we see that we are responsible for that light, for that creation.

“All that you are is determined by your mind and the way it directs the light pouring at every moment from your great God self, and you are responsible for that light, that creation.”
– The Great Divine Director, The “I AM” discourses

I AM presence

To cultivate the magnificent power inherent within the ‘I AM’, we must first become aware of the ‘I AM presence’. The I AM presence is what we truly are, it is the conscious awareness of our divinity. We can tap into this right now by simply understanding that we are divine spiritual beings having a temporary human experience.

We are multidimensional beings that have incarnated on this planet and these bodies are vehicles that allow us to navigate through this reality. We live in a third-dimensional experience where life is dense and heavy, in reality, we are much more than what we have been told. We have identified with the world around us using the five senses and we have believed that what we perceive with these senses is all that there is. Yet the universe is incredibly vast and mysterious, we are more than we can ever comprehend with our human minds. There are planes of existence that are spiritual in nature, these dimensions stretch past physical form and we are a cherished part of that. We must begin to remember and integrate into our consciousness that we are infinite spiritual beings, we are therefore much more powerful than we may once have thought.

To truly cultivate the extensive power within the words ‘I AM’, we must continue to expand our awareness even further by recognising the God within us. I AM consciousness is the realisation of the God within you and therefore the powerful creator that is within your very essence. Source or ‘God’ wanted to experience and learn about itself just as we are in this very moment. Source, therefore, fragmented itself into the existence that we see around us to experience its self through us. With this knowledge we can see that we ARE source, we are an extension of source and we are therefore powerful creators. We are not separate from the creator, or the beings around us, our souls could be perceived as drops within an ocean of souls all connected as one.

I AM consciousness is the awareness that we are fragments of source and for that reason, we possess the power of creation itself; only now can we can claim back our true power as the creator of our realities. The I AM presence is tapping into the divine being that you are and this can be done in the present moment where we dis-identify from our minds and slip into ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’.

We passed through a veil of forgetfulness when we entered this dream reality; we forgot in order to have an experience of separation through our ego consciousness. Yet in this crucial time, the world is remembering and waking up as the earth makes her transition into a higher dimension of existence. Just as we identified with our ego, those that find themselves on this path are called to now dis-identify with their ego and go through a process of remembering who they truly are. For this reason, the I AM presence must be grown and felt into.

In Christianity, when Moses encountered the burning bush he asked God for his name and God replied ‘I AM that I AM’. Therefore the only true expression of man’s divinity is I AM. When we use this expression, we are addressing the God within us and thus embracing and enabling the true power contained within our very essence. When we are conscious of our I AM presence and therefore the God within us, the law of attraction takes on an immense amount of power. I AM is the creative energy of source and as divine beings, we can use the expression ‘I AM’ to become whatever we place after it.

I AM

‘I AM’ is the power of creation itself. ‘I’ is the creative factor of the universe, it is the God that you are, the creative power that is inherent within your very being. ‘AM’, is the movement of that creative force, it gets the energy going in a particular direction. With the use of ‘I AM’, we are creating enormous movement, we could perceive each repeated affirmation as an immense wave of energy expanding out into the spiritual dimensions; we are using the creative energy of our God selves. Whatever we choose to place after ‘I AM’ is paramount as we will become that, in that very moment.

When we say only ‘I AM’, the silent ‘being’ space that follows the statement, and the formless presence that emerges within us, is our true nature, yet we have the free will to create our reality with this statement if we choose to. The power of the I AM affirmation has no limits since whatever we direct our affirmation towards, we are proclaiming our God-self to the universe and drawing on our creative God power, thus calling it forth into our physical life.

By announcing ‘I AM’, we are affirming our God-self and unleashing the power of our I AM Presence, what we choose to place after this is calling on our divine qualities to manifest itself in and through us. The basis for the power inherent within the ‘I AM’ affirmation lies within that very statement. Those that pray or outwardly ask for their dreams are putting a call out to the universe and requesting that some unknown force or God bring forward their desires. The inconceivable power within the ‘I AM’ exists because we put the call through directly ourself, drawing on our own I AM presence and therefore our own individualised God spark.

“Every thought at every point in the universe, no matter how remote, is heard and responded to, though of course not as directly as if the individual had made the call directly to his own God Self” – Hilarion, The “I AM” discourses.

Fuel Your Affirmation

Now we are aware of the infinite power of the ‘I AM’, we can boost our manifestation further and bring it into this reality quicker. As we know, what we state after ‘I AM’, we become in that very moment, therefore our desired outcome already exists in non-physical dimensions and lighter planes of existence. As the leading law of attraction teacher, Abraham Hicks would say; it is in your ‘vortex’. This piece of information is crucial because we shift our awareness from not trying to bring our desires to us but instead simply lining up with our desires and becoming a vibrational match to them.

We may build the energy behind our I AM affirmations by repeating them over and over with clear intention and presence. We may wish to repeat them in our minds or out loud whenever and wherever we feel necessary. I often find myself repeating affirmations whilst doing everyday tasks that otherwise may have been performed on autopilot; suddenly walking home from work or brushing my teeth becomes a profound spiritual exercise.

We may also choose to fuel our affirmations with the grace of feminine energy. Since we are aware that our manifestation already exists within the higher realms, we can simply close our eyes and see our desired outcome, this is the extreme power of our mind’s eye and visualisation. Activate your imagination and see in your inner world that which your affirmation calls for already taking place, this will raise a feeling within you. This feeling is very powerful in bringing your desires into fruition because you are bringing both mind and heart energy to the manifestation.

Build Faith

Spiritual awakening comes into our lives with great intensity, knocking down the walls of our personal sanctuaries that we built for ourselves, now as our comfort zones and everything we thought we knew about existence lies in rubble on the floor, we steadily reassemble our lives using the building blocks of our newfound consciousness.

Faith is gradually built one manifestation at a time, we can start with the little things and when we discover it works, we move to the bigger things. Faith is a crucial component when working with the law of attraction as it casts out fear and doubt; these emotions hold frequencies that are not a vibrational match to our desires.

Importantly, we must believe that our manifestation is possible to receive, otherwise, we hold vibrational frequencies inside our structure that are in resistance to what we desire preventing us from becoming a vibrational match to it. Practising the affirmation ‘I AM Flying’ would be difficult (to manifest in the physical dimension) unless you had a strong belief system within you that agreed it was possible.

In order to manifest our dreams, we find as we move along the path of awakening that we must couple our manifestation process with inner work. The traumatic events from our past are stored within the memories of our bodies and they act as barriers that prevent us from lining up with our dreams. Our manifestation will come quicker if we work through the shadows of the past and heal.

The foundation of our newly designed world revolves around fresh belief systems; a belief is a thought that we keep thinking. To truly gain control of our realities we must address our belief systems and work through any resistance that is blocking us from our desired manifestation from materialising. For example, if you are manifesting money, do you believe that money is hard to get? If you are manifesting love, do you truly believe that you are worthy of it? The more we explore our inner worlds, the more we uncover about our conscious and subconscious beliefs.

I AM affirmations become particularly powerful with the knowledge of the I AM presence because we begin to believe that we possess the power of creation within, claiming our true power as a creator being. Via self-exploration and transformation, we identify any frequencies within us that are preventing us from becoming a vibrational match to our dreams. With the use of affirmations, such blockages will undoubtedly reveal themselves as we move closer to our manifestation. When we transform these lower frequencies within us into higher frequencies through an alchemical process that takes place within the laboratory of our cellular structure, such mastery brings our manifestations from the higher spiritual realms into a more dense existence and we begin to live in our dream reality here in the physical dimension.

Create From The Heart

On the path of self-discovery, we patiently peel back the layers that we built upon our consciousness since the moment we were born. As we grow ever closer to our truth located in the centre of our being, we see that the heart lies not only at the centre of our physical structure but it sits at the centre of our entire world.

When we follow the yearning of our hearts desires, we are led straight into an earthly experience of love and pure bliss. As we progress with our journey of self-actualisation, we gradually discover who we are underneath the layers of social conditioning and fear. Now we uncover our true self and begin to go in the direction of what we really want in this life.

Only a fraction of our light and consciousness is projected into our physical bodies and when we follow our hearts we are following the higher self’s guidance. When we follow the calling of our heart’s desire, we are tuning into the aspect of us that simultaneously exists in higher spiritual dimensions, yet the higher self can be found in the energy field of our sacred heart space. If we find ourselves struggling to hear the gentle whispers of our higher self, we can find comfort in knowing that this aspect of us communicates via the emotion of excitement. When we follow our heartfelt highest excitement, we choose the path of love.

Desire cannot be perceived as negative for it is the source of creation, yet we have the option to create our realities based on the desire of our hearts or minds. Our minds are miraculous powerful instruments that allow us to cultivate energy using thoughts to bring about our hearts desires. When we allow our ego to choose our affirmations, we give permission for separation consciousness to create our reality and separation caused much suffering in our world.

Choose to create your reality from the perspective of the I AM presence (the divine self), what does your divinity want for your earthly soul’s experience? The power of the I AM presence is pure, let your intentions be the same. When you dropped your consciousness into this earthly experience you came here to grow, we all have a mission and we all have a purpose. When we choose to manifest our inner worlds and outer worlds based on the purity of our higher self and I AM presence, we gradually remember our purpose and mission here. When we design our lives based on the shining light at the centre of our beings, we live a human experience overflowing with fulfilment and freedom.

Final Words

The discovery of the law of attraction and the ability to work with it consciously is one of the many gifts that we receive on this awakening process. The claiming back of our true power allows us to leave victimhood behind as we embrace our newfound freedom with loving open arms.

The use and understanding of the expression ‘I AM’ is mastery and we can be sure that whatever we intend with our affirmations will come into fruition because we have unlocked the power of God within us. A true master of the self comes to realise that happiness cannot be found in the placing of words after the ‘I AM’, for the lasting happiness lies in the silent space that follows; the I AM Presence. With anything we want in our universe just a manifestation away, we rise above the relentless chasing of happiness through the materialisation of times to come. Instead, we find the kingdom of heaven right where we are sat in this very moment. We seek happiness not through the manifestation of our dreams but within the present moment, chasing bliss outside of ourselves can only lead to temporary satisfaction and disappointment, happiness is rooted firmly in the now.

I hope this information has awoken something that is already within you. I encourage you to trust and believe in yourself, allow your heart to overflow with excitement and allow it to spread through your being and light up your world.

The secrets of the I AM affirmations have remained hidden within the confinements of our third-dimensional consciousness until now. As we ascend with the planet, man is waking up to its true power once again. Free will is our birthright and with the I AM presence we become a conscious creator at every moment. As we awaken to our inner power, we reflect a beacon of light onto those that surround us and together we unify in oneness. So dream big powerful creator because anything is possible and you are destined for magnificence in this lifetime.

I AM without form, without limits beyond space, beyond time
I AM in everything, everything is me
I AM the bliss of the universe
Everything AM I
