Chapter by chapter
Where the I AM runs hottest
We counted the capitalized I AM in every chapter, 204 in all. Tap a chapter to read how it opens. The peak is chapter 5, Who Am I?, with 36, and six chapters near the end don’t use it once, which is where he turns from the name to the stories.
What carries over, and the oddity
Parts of it will feel familiar if you have read his 1939 sermon, since about 1,060 words here come straight from that sermon with small edits. Chapter 24 is the oddity: he reads The Count of Monte Cristo as scripture.
Questions
What people ask about this one
What is this book about?
It reads the Bible as a story about states of consciousness. Each chapter takes one figure or symbol, such as Daniel, the twelve disciples or fishing, and argues that it describes something happening inside a person.
What does liquid light mean in this book?
Chapter 19 describes the world, seen psychically, as an ocean of light with people as pulsating bodies inside it. He reads the Flood as that condition.
Is this the original 1941 wording?
It follows the 1993 DeVorss printing, the earliest scan we could find, and it matches the 1985 one everywhere we checked. We corrected three printer's errors and could not confirm earlier wording.
Should I read it before Feeling Is the Secret?
Most people should start with the shorter book. This one rewards you more once the method makes sense.
