I is for I am.

What is amazing is the actual definition that I found or rather could not find! There is no definition per se for the noun or name: ”I“

ī/

noun

1. the ninth letter of the alphabet.
2. the Roman numeral for one.

Does that mean that when I use the words “I am” it should be, “One is.”  The one is sitting, the one is feeling? Now that question opens a door to other ideas, such as; Who is the one?  (Enlightenment is on the way!)  Recently the “I am” perspective has been the latest returning metaphysical idea.  The "I am" idea builds on the answer that Moses (Bible: Exodus 3:14) received when he asked God, who should he say sent him.  

The answer he received was “I am that I am!” I laughed at the look that I imagined Pharaoh would have given him and I imagined that he would throw Moses out of the palace for his audacious answer!

I would imagine Moses looking Pharaoh in the eyes, when Pharaoh would ask, Who is this God you are telling me that commands that I let your people go?  Moses would then only get as far as “I am….” before rage would overcome Pharaoh!  That is how I imagine it went down!

But to be fair, recently people have begun to do their own research. The internet (I is for internet!) is a remarkable access tool.  Provided below is a more thorough and accurate description of the “I am” answer that Moses was provided with… The translations are in fact far more revealing and takes me back to "God" as the continuing creative force.

I Am that I Am (אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, ehyeh ašer ehyeh [ehˈje aˈʃer ehˈje]) is a traditional common English translation (JPS among others) of the response God used in the Hebrew Bible when Moses asked for his name (Exodus 3:14). It is one of the most famous verses in the Torah. Hayah means "to be" or "to become" in Hebrew; "ehyeh" is the root word derived from "Hayah" and is to be translated in English Bibles as "I will be" (or "I will become"), for example, at Exodus 3:14. Ehyeh asher ehyeh literally translates as "I Will Be What I Will Be" or "I Will Become What I Will Become", according to accurate translation of the Hebrew language. However, in the great majority of English Bibles, in particular the King James Version, this phrase is rendered as I Am That I Am" which is originally derived from Roman Catholic tradition, although evidently inaccurate.

I did find it as a pronoun which is the familiar way in which (we who speak English) use it.

I /aɪ/ is the first-person singular nominative case personal pronoun in Modern English. It is used to refer to one's self and is capitalized, although other pronouns, such as he or she, are not capitalized.  (But still… no definition.)

Does the word "I" refer to our consciousness? The breath which makes us alive. Alive as in self aware!  I also mean alive as in body systems functioning. We know our body is functioning but we don't hear with our ears the flow of the blood or the neurotransmitters sending the millions of signals from our brains to other parts of our bodies. So what then or who is I?

I am.

Be well and be happy!
