1. 1. The ‘I am’ came first; it is ever present, ever available. Refuse all thoughts except ‘I am’. Stay there.
This ‘I am’ is still there with you, ever present, ever available. It was and still is the first thought. Refuse all other thoughts and come back there and stay there.
So try to understand and grasp this ‘beingness’ or ‘I amness’ that is inherent in you.
The more precisely and clearly you do it the more rapid will be your progress.
