Everytime Jesus says "I Am" it's been taken to take he is god...though if you look at all the scriptures...they are taken quite wrong....just like I would say in a sentence....."I am" debbiejo, and you can know me just as I can know you.....
When Jesus said "I am" [ego eimi] .. that didn't make Him God... The blind man who came to Jesus also said "I am" [ego eimi], surely, it doesn't pertain to Jesus being "the God".
I AM is what distinguish ourselves from everything else.
"I AM" is to assume your own individuality. When we say "I AM" we are assuming, recognizing that what represents our own individuality, we are making it real, manifesting it... trying to make ourselves distinct from everything else.
Just noted fintiÂīs ressurection out there..... pretty like Jesus !

I feel when you use the words "I AM"...you are manifesting something...unlike the words "I would like to be", but already stating that you are.....and in doing so, you pull in that which you have stated.."Law of Attraction" again......
Like a conduit?....Maybe so...And in scripture Jesus said "These things and more you can do if you had the faith of a mustard seed."........Are we conduits also?
I think that we are, or could be at least. For me when Jesus is regarded as being God himself, it is that what must be understood "that he was acting through Godīs will", and at that moment he was God himself, but people usually understands that he is God in a literal way different from us that are not Gods. I think anyone of us can act through Godīs will like Jesus did, and in this way anyone of us can be God like Jesus is.
It is like Siddharta did too, he became one with Buddha, but the human being Siddharta Gautama was not Buddha, like the human being Yeshua Bin Yosef was not God too.
In theosophy that part of God inside us that we can learn to act through its will, is Atma. When we fully learn how to do this we become one with God, like Jesus, and Siddharta did. This state of "becoming one" is sometimes called moksha, ascension, etc, etc,.. it is when we are free from the cycle of reincarnation, and it is our purpose on earth... at least that is what many spiritualists believe.
