Exodus 3: 14: Praying is the Action of Believing, "I AM (THAT)"
I am, admittedly, hung up on Exodus 3: 14. In ancient Aramaic (according to Victor Alexander's translation), the name/nature of God is "Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh." Ahiyeh means "I come" in the absolute sense. Hiyeh means "He becomes." Ashur is most interesting. It is the name/nature of the Creator in Aramaic. But what is the Creator?
I propose that Ashur is the action of the Ineffable believing that It is what It imagines . . . that Ashur is a verb, the thinking of being a thing . . . that It (the Ineffable) is imagining "I am (that)" with such intensity and clarity that what is imagined actually exists to facilitate Its being.
The Creator is the attitude of "am." Am is a verb: "I am (that)." The Ineffable imagines, "I am (whatever thing It imagines It is)," and It is.
Consider the breadth of the universe, my friend. The Ineffable is imagining Itself to be every thing. "The Father knows what you have need of." What are you trying to manifest special pleasures for yourself for? Go out and teach this stuff.
Every thing is the action of the Ineffable imagining that It is each thing. And we are the Ineffable (as is everything). Praying -- the believing that we are/have/and receive what we desire -- is practice we are to do of this particular action AS the Ineffable. We are to practice the action of "Godding" -- the believing that we ARE that which we desire -- unto the perfection of doing it as well as the Ineffable does it.
Perhaps escaped slaves from Egypt discovered this teaching in the region of YHW (an actual place) in Midian. "What is imagined becomes" is Jethro (jutting over), the "priest" of Midian. OUR imagining which becomes is YHWH (lit. Heb. "He becomes," which is us included in the Imaginer). The escaped slaves took this Gospel germ (Moses) with them to Palestine, where the Power of God and the Wisdom of God within them, i.e., God's salvation (Joshua),brought them into the "Promised Land" of its full "blood" realization as Israel--God ruling as man.
There is NO separation or division between the Ineffable's imagining which becomes and our imagining which becomes. There is no distance between "up there" and "down here"; between Him and us. Down here IS up there -- we are just not awake to this truth YET.
All is one, and we are Him. We need to "pour oil onto" the fire of our practice of this action to find Him in us when it works. Imagine what you want to be, and believe that you ARE it.
