As a [[spacetime|time-space]] creature would view the origin and differentiation of [[Reality]], the eternal and infinite '''I AM''' achieved [[Deity]] liberation from the fetters of unqualified [[infinite|infinity]] through the exercise of inherent and eternal [[free will]], and this divorcement from unqualified infinity produced the first absolute [[divinity]]-tension. This tension of infinity differential is resolved by the [[Universal Absolute]], which functions to unify and co-ordinate the dynamic infinity of Total Deity and the static infinity of the [[Unqualified Absolute]].

In this original transaction the theoretical I AM achieved the realization of [[personality]] by becoming the Eternal Father of the Original Son simultaneously with becoming the Eternal Source of the Isle of [[Paradise]]. Coexistent with the differentiation of the Son from the Father, and in the [[presence]] of Paradise, there appeared the person of the Infinite Spirit and the central universe of [[Havona]]. With the appearance of coexistent personal Deity, the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit, the Father escaped, as a personality, from otherwise inevitable diffusion throughout the potential of Total Deity. Thenceforth it is only in [[Trinity]] association with his two Deity equals that the Father fills all Deity potential, while increasingly experiential Deity is being actualized on the divinity levels of [[Supremacy]], [[Ultimacy]], and [[Absoluteness]].

The concept of the I AM is a philosophic concession which we make to the time-bound, space-fettered, [[finite]] [[mind]] of man, to the impossibility of creature comprehension of eternity existences--nonbeginning, nonending realities and relationships. To the time-space creature, all things must have a beginning save only the ONE UNCAUSED--the primeval cause of causes. Therefore do we conceptualize this philosophic [[value]]-level as the I AM, at the same time instructing all creatures that the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit are coeternal with the I AM; in other words, that there never was a time when the I AM was not the Father of the Son and, with him, of the Spirit.

The [[universe]] philosophers postulate the [[eternity]] [[existence]] of the I AM as the primal source of all [[reality]]. And concomitant therewith they postulate the self-segmentation of the I AM into the primary self-relationships--the seven phases of [[infinity]]. And simultaneous with this assumption is the third postulate--the eternity appearance of the ''Seven Absolutes of Infinity'' and the eternalization of the duality association of the seven phases of the I AM and these seven Absolutes.

The self-revelation of the I AM thus proceeds from static self through self-segmentation and self-relationship to absolute relationships, relationships with self-derived Absolutes. Duality becomes thus existent in the eternal association of the Seven Absolutes of Infinity with the sevenfold infinity of the self-segmented phases of the self-revealing I AM. These dual relationships, eternalizing to the universes as the seven Absolutes, eternalize the basic foundations for all universe reality.

It has been sometime stated that unity begets duality, that duality begets triunity, and that triunity is the eternal ancestor of all [[things]]. There are, indeed, three great classes of primordial relationships, and they are:

'''I am that I am''' (|Hebrew: אהיה אשר אהיה, pronounced ''Ehyeh asher ehyeh'') is a common English translation ([[King James Bible]] and others) of the response [[God]] used in the [[Bible]] when [[Moses]] asked for his name (Exodus 3:14). It is one of the most famous verses in the [[Torah]]. Hayah means "existed" or "was" in Hebrew; "ehyeh" is the first person singular imperfect form.  ''Ehyeh asher ehyeh'' is generally interpreted to mean ''I am that I am'', though it more literally translates as "I-shall-be that I-shall-be."

The word ''Ehyeh'' is used a total of 43 places in the [[Old Testament]], where it is usually translated as "I will be" -- as is the case for its first occurrence, in Exodus 3:12 -- or "I shall be," as is the case for its final occurrence in Zechariah 8:8.  It stems from the Hebrew conception of [[monotheism]] that God exists within each and everyone and by himself, the uncreated Creator who does not depend on anything or anyone; therefore ''I am who I am''. Some scholars state the [[Tetragrammaton]] itself derives from the same verbal root, but others counter that it may simply sound similar as intended by God, such as Psalm 119 and the Hebrew words "shoqed" (watching) and "shaqed" ([[almond]] branch) found in Jeremiah 1:11-12.
