Be Still and Know: I Am That I Am

By Mathew Fink

Sensing that there is more to life than my everyday living. I felt an urge to sit down with a pad of paper and talk to God. I didnt expect a response to the list of fears, doubts and limitations I wrote down, yet, somewhere deep inside my intuition knew that there would be an answer.
The outer self, the tutor/tennis teacher, living in
Los Angeles, California, certainly didnt expect a
book to arise out of this.
These words of truth and beauty were channeled through conversation and poetry. God is always speaking.
When we are still, we can listen.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to acknowledge God, the source of everything that exists. With all of the divine love of my being I thank thee. Without God I wouldn’t be writing these words. Without God I wouldn’t be having this human experience. My heart belongs to God.

I would like to thank all of the teachers who have brought their wisdom and illumination into my life. I bless each one for their kindness, patience, love, and tireless work.

I would like to thank my parents who raised me, sharing invaluable lessons about respect, morality, honesty, and always supporting me through my ups and downs.

I would like to thank my wife who has always been there by my side on this journey we call life. She is my soul partner, my friend, and love deep within my heart. She has been a source of strength and support. She has been a mirror on many occasions. We are dancing hand in hand, traveling along the path, flowing, evolving, and attaining new heights.

INTRODUCTION

I have always felt in the deepest recess of my soul that there was more to life. Looking back, it felt like an inner struggle between pleasing others, i.e., my parents, and trusting the song inside my heart. Well, I chose the former. I just wanted to be successful. You know, have a big house, an expensive car, have lots of money, and not piss anyone off. I beat myself up working long hours always thinking I wasn’t good enough. My soul wanted to breathe, expand, be free, but I didn’t listen. My ego just wouldn’t have any of that. Losing any control was too much of a threat. I was growing tired and impatient. Life truly seemed
