a little analogy I came up with:
DIOR cannot "try to become" CHANEL, because she is DIOR.
"I AM DIOR" is still who she claims to be.
now if she removes DIOR and simply become I AM
by then, she can freely become anything she wants to be
"I AM CHANEL" is now her present fact.
if you ever lost something in the 3D (broke up with sp, lost a job, lost some money, etc.)
just remember that you didn't lost them, you lost the idea of having them.
you can never lose anything because everything is within you.
you're not imagining to hopefully change the 3D in the future.
you are simply experiencing it now in imagination ONLY. "I am" will always overpower "I will be" because its who you are being at the present moment that is being expressed.
