It's an exploration of the fundamental truth of "I AM," which delves into the essence of our being, beyond the labels and roles that society assigns to us. This challenge beckons us to continually remind ourselves throughout the day of our authentic self, a timeless and boundless consciousness.
In a world often preoccupied with external identities, this challenge serves as a beacon to connect with the core of our existence. It encourages us to reflect on our true nature, fostering a profound sense of mindfulness and self-awareness. As we acknowledge "I AM," we strip away the illusions and facades that accumulate over time, allowing us to access our innate wisdom, compassion, and inner strength.
Embracing the "Remember I Am" challenge is an invitation to live authentically, liberated from the constraints of societal constructs. It's a voyage that unveils our limitless potential, ignites our passions, and deepens our connection to the world around us.

TRUTH
The "I am" state holds a profound truth that transcends the complexities of human existence. At its core, this simple yet powerful affirmation signifies a direct connection to the essence of our being. It reflects a timeless and boundless awareness that exists before and beyond the labels, roles, and experiences that define us in the external world.
The truth of "I am" acknowledges our intrinsic nature, stripping away the layers of conditioning and ego. It reminds us of our innermost self, a wellspring of unshakable authenticity. This state of consciousness points to a reality that is free from judgment, comparison, and external expectations. In the "I am" state, we find our most genuine self, one that is not defined by the fleeting nature of material possessions, social status, or the roles we play.
The "I am" state is a declaration of self-awareness, a conscious recognition of our true potential and worth. It is an affirmation of the divine spark that resides within each of us, connecting us to the universal source of all existence. In this state, we uncover our limitless capacity for love, compassion, and wisdom, and we realize that our potential is boundless.
As we delve deeper into the "I am" state, we begin to realize that this truth is not just a concept or a belief; it is an experiential reality. Through meditation, introspection, and mindful living, we can access this profound truth and tap into its transformative power. It becomes a guiding light, a source of strength, and a compass that directs us towards a life of purpose and authenticity. In the "I am" state, we find liberation from the shackles of illusion and a path to self-realisation, enabling us to live in alignment with our true nature.
WHO AM I?
The concept of the created self is a captivating illusion that envelopes us, shaping our identity through the lens of name, personality, and life experiences. However, when we embark on the profound journey of self-inquiry, asking the fundamental question, "Who am I?" we begin to peel back the layers of this constructed reality. Much like peeling the layers of an onion, we discover that there is no tangible core, no fixed egoic self at the heart of our existence.
As we delve deeper into the layers, we recognize that our identities are woven from an intricate tapestry of external influences, societal conditioning, and our own perceptions. These layers are as transitory as the changing seasons. They are malleable, evolving with time and experience. Thus, there is no unchanging, permanent self as defined by the egoic mind.
This realization can be liberating and humbling. It invites us to transcend the confines of ego and embrace the fluidity of our being. It reminds us that our identities are not fixed, allowing room for growth, transformation, and the continuous exploration of our true nature.
In this exploration, we unearth the wisdom that the self is a concept, a mental construct. The essence of our existence transcends labels and definitions, residing in the boundless realm of pure awareness. The layers of the created self ultimately dissolve, revealing the profound insight that there is no egoic self at the core, only the ever-flowing river of consciousness, the eternal and complete "I am" that is a manifestation of the divine, the oneness, and the source of all existence, manifesting through each of us. This awakening paves the way for a deeper connection to the universal source and a profound sense of oneness with all of existence.
