The Now is the Am of the I. It is the Spirit's (I) Soul (Am). This is the true Self.
Jesus (Christ or Zen Mind) answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (True Self) except through me. - John 14:6
Feel, or perhaps more aptly put, 'know' your sense of I am-ness. Do it now. Can you recognize this knowingness of I AM? Note what that experience is and marinate in it. The I of your being - from which all thought is created must cease looking outwards and creating thought. One must marinate in oneself as 'I am'. I know it will seem pointless at first and you will sit there knowing 'I am' ....what? However, keep with it. You have to know who you are when you are no longer 'that'. This is the door....once identification with that falls away the true Self is revealed.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
- Matthew 7:7-8
Be still and know that I am - Psalms 46:10
Realizing thy true Self is done with the I of claircognizance (The mind must be clear and transparent, casting on shadow) not with the eyes or any of the senses. Not with thought and not with feeling. Only 'Knowing' which is Faith. Faith is knowing thy true Self.
