I AM

In the Urantia Book

the I AM is the hypothesis of all that is unknowable of God the Father, the Prime Source-Center; even this hypothesis surely falls far short of his unfathomable infinity 105:1.6
it is the original infinity that can be hypothesized at the time of eternity, when as yet there was no differentiation in all infinity 104:4.44-47 105:1.3-5
the I AM is a theoretical and philosophical concession made by the celestial creatures to finite-minded men, who need time to understand relationships and causes 0:3.23-24 105:1
The I AM may be conceptually viewed as a unity, the solitary I AM; as a duality, the Infinite One differentiated from Infinity; as a triunity; and as a being of a sevenfold nature 105:2 105:4
it is regarded as a philosophical postulate that the I AM pervades all infinity but no creature has been able to verify this by experience 106:3.5 106:9.10 (115:2.1,3)
the concept of the I AM implies complete self-realization, it embraces all the personalities who will have participated in the self-revelation of the I AM, his ultimate children 106:8.23
the I AM contains both the past and the future, and therefore I AM also means I WAS and I WILL BE 118:1.9
The Father revealed himself to Moses as I AM and as I AM that I AM; Jesus made an expanded revelation of the Father 182:1.9
In Buddhism the belief in many Buddhas led to the concept of the Eternal Buddha, a concept that can be identified with the Absolute and sometimes even with the infinite I AM 94:11.11-12

with his first action the I AM became the Eternal Father of the Original Son, and at the same time the Eternal Source of the Isle of Paradise 0:3.22
The I AM exists before the existentials and after all the experientials 106:9.10
The three spiritual expressions were perfectly unified in the I AM before he became the Universal Father of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit 56:3.5
In the Deity of the Supreme the Father-I AM has achieved a relatively complete liberation from the limitations inherent in the infinite state, eternal existence, and absolute nature 115:7.1

the final unification of the divergence between the interpretations of science, which is centered on energy, and those of religion, which is centered on spirit, occurs in the I AM 103:7.12
the personality of the I AM is partially experiential on spiritual levels even by mortals since it is in the Universal Father and in his revelation, the Eternal Son 105:2.5
the realization of the Trinity of Trinities is thought to cause the I AM to become experientially attainable 106:8.22
the integration of total reality would occur in the union of the three Absolutes, the Unqualified, the Universal, and the Deity, which form the latent state of the I AM 106:7.9

the absolute original causality in infinity is attributed to the Universal Father, acting as the infinite, eternal, and absolute I AM 10:3.5 105:1.1
all reality has its origin in the I AM 19:1.12 56:10.11 105:1.3 105:4.1
he is the only self-caused fact in the universe; only the I AM is uncaused 102:7.1-3
the I AM is also the Father of Michael of Nebadon and the God of human salvation 2:1.5 56:1.6 102:3.10 105:1.2
the I AM is the primal cause and source of both the Trinity and the Absolute 56:9.5
the I AM is Infinity, the eternal continuum 105:2.2
The Original is the original manifestation of the I AM from which all reality springs (115:3.6,8,10)
The Unqualified Absolute is the unrevealed cosmic infinity of the I AM 105:3.7
