I am biography, I am discography
It is one of the most famous verses in the Torah.It stems from the Hebrew conception of monotheism that God exists within each and everyone and by himself, the uncreated Creator who does not depend on anything or anyone; therefore I am who I am.Hebrew grammatical tense and purported implication

3.Hebrew grammatical tense and purported implication
Theologians have many different explanations for the meaning behind this phrase.Many theologians explain that I am that I am is better translated to I be that I be.The ancient Hebrew language does not have a past, present, or future tense.Ehyeh is in the imperfective aspect, and can be understood as God saying that he is "in the process of being", a reference saying that he exists in all times, constantly, eternally.Happy, because Leah said she was Happy to have him.Not to be confused with worship of a deity named Baal (a masculine figure in ancient fertility worship, whose pillars were to be destroyed by all kings of Judea who followed the statutes, and law of holy text).Before Abraham was, I, the Christ, the Son of God, existed.This argument, however, only negates a direct link between Jesus' utterance of "I Am" and the divine name of the tetragrammaton.The phrase itself, "I am," is stated by Yahweh independently of the tetragrammaton, and is literally repeated by Jesus.Catholic Church interpretation
The Catholic Church's interpretation has been summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a product of twenty centuries of theology and teaching since the establishment of the Church in the early first century AD, and adapted from the Trent Catechism of the 16th century Council of Trent.In revealing his mysterious name, YHWH ("I AM HE WHO IS", "I AM WHO AM" or "I AM WHO I AM"), God says who he is and by what name he is to be called.This divine name is mysterious just as God is mystery.God", his name is ineffable, and he is the God who makes himself close to men.God, who reveals his name as "I AM", reveals himself as the God who is always there, present to his people in order to save them.God merciful and gracious"

After Israel's sin, when the people had turned away from God to worship the golden calf, God hears Moses' prayer of intercession and agrees to walk in the midst of an unfaithful people, thus demonstrating his love.Then the LORD passes before Moses and proclaims, "YHWH, YHWH, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness"; Moses then confesses that the LORD is a forgiving God.The divine name, "I Am" or "He Is", expresses God's faithfulness: despite the faithlessness of men's sin and the punishment it deserves, he keeps "steadfast love for thousands"...By giving his life to free us from sin, Jesus reveals that he himself bears the divine name: "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will realize that "I AM"."In God "there is no variation or shadow due to change."The revelation of the ineffable name "I AM WHO AM" contains then the truth that God alone IS.All creatures receive all that they are and have from him; but he alone is his very being, and he is of himself everything that he is.Kabbalist interpretation
Kabbalists have long deemed that the Torah contains esoteric information.One Kabbalist interpretation is that the response given to Moses means "I am my name", perhaps signifying that the power of God may actually be in his very name.Other views
Some religious groups believe that this phrase or at least the "I am" part of the phrase is an actual name of God, or to lesser degree the sole name of God.In the Hindu Advaita Vedanta, the "I am" is explained by teachers such as Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj as an abstraction in the mind of the Stateless State, of the Absolute, or the Supreme Reality, called Parabrahman.It is pure awareness, prior to thoughts, free from perceptions, associations, memories.This page was last modified 20:58, 5 January 2008.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.This introduction was followed by more than 3000 Discourses by the Ascended Masters.Mankind must have more
