I love this post. The 'I am' is a big part of life and needs strict attention. I wasn't knocking it in my earlier post on Subconscious Commands. Those Hints are for the active participant who finds ego intruding upon their meditation. In Hints, I mention the state of affirmations using I Am as the generic of an up person who is practising to better present state of mind. There I said the ego that I Am represents, and draws forth a mental censor that negates and raises the 'reality' now perceived that - possibly, probably, no, I Am Not - whatever the wanted condition. The inner dialogue can be very difficult to dispense with and that is why I have posted the Hints for Subconscious Command at #0193,#0194,#0197.
In those I present many affirmations that can be inner dialogue of I Am, but there I present them to speak aloud to your morning mirror saying, ''You Are . . . ''(utterly charming, warm, radiant and dynamic.) because this can bypass one's inner censor and Command the subconscious which thereby Acts as Executor, not doubting and not knowing any negative. [so, to say -I don't like cigarettes - is to say (without the negative) - I like cigarettes. The reverse is when one says ''I am very good at ...'' and one's inner dialogue immediately shows one evidence that ''no one isn't''.]
But I also started a series of Sanskrit, within which are, and will be more, out-breath chants to slow one's breath and fill your time and inner dialogue with almost meaningless ( in English) sounds one intellectually knows, are telling one the way. Chants for Contemplative Meditation. #0535,#0555,#0563.
--And, wait, there's more! 😂 If you are of a spiritual space, and need some 'other' contemplative thoughts, have a listen/read #0538 : Spiritual Repair. A talk by Rodney Jones, a jazz guitarist who learned guitar with/from Dizzy Gillespie and now teaches at Julliard, NY.
Keep on Keeping on. 😇

Sometimes I wonder just how precise we have to be in our wording (like spiritual laywerese) or whether the intent is enough?
I've started making a conscious effort to say something like 'best of good luck' to someone instead of just throwing out the word 'luck' as the intention to say 'good luck' because there also exists 'bad luck'. We need to be more specific in some of our phrasing, I think.
But thinking about specificity also gives me a brain ache. :P

--I reread these every so often, and always try to not be in haste. Hurry up is a must in today's rush, but it probably was for all generations watching youth, so I do try to write in the manner I was raised and to apply politeness to everyone, no matter my rush, or their impertinence, etc. In Australia, we often abbreviate, but still contain the beginning or end sound, as in G'day, or 'str'ine (Australian), "flat-out -(like a lizard drinking [in the hot sun])", but always when trying to get an idea said and understood correctly, I revert to the language of WW1. Probably not a brilliant example, but as its Anzac Day tomorrow and you might know some expat Aussies out your way, have a gander at #0569, wherein a Brigadier was writing from the front to his small son. Obviously the child is probably not reading it himself and much cannot be said of war, but the gist is very well put across in very well written form.
Keep on keeping on. 😇
