(Who am I?)
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.”
John 14:1-31 KJV

Who is I Am?
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
*Following, is my paraphrase –
So, Thomas says –
“Jesus, You are the way?”
Jesus replies:
“No, I am the way.”
Thomas, again asks:
“Jesus, You said, You are the way, the truth and the life?”
Jesus again replies:
“I said, I am the way, the truth and the life!”
Thomas again replies:
“You are the way, the truth and the life?”
Jesus replies again, for the third time:
“I said, I am the way, the truth and the life!”
“I did not say, that I alone, am the way the truth and the life!”
“For my Father is greater than I.”
“I said that, I am the way, the truth and the life!”
“No man comes to the Father except through me!”
“I and the Father are one!”
“Who are you, Thomas?”
Thomas replied:
“I am …”
“Yes you are!”
replies Jesus.
“And so I am also in the Father and the Father is in me.”
“My Father is greater than me!”
“For my Father and I am One.”
“Greater works, than these, shall you do also; because I go to my Father and therefore, because I go to my Father; who is also your Father; the Comforter; the Spirit of truth, will come and make our abode in you.”
“I am in my Father and my Father is in me and we all are in the Spirit of my Father.”
“I and my Father are One.”
“My Father is Love and my Father is One.”
“My Father’s fullness, dwells in me and I in him and you in me.”
“And you are complete in him.”
“And I am complete, in you.”
“The kingdom of heaven is within you!”
“This is the way; walk ye in it.”
“If you walk in the Spirit, in your and my Father’s Spirit, by your spirit; by going within, into the Spirit and then, without, in the physical; you shall not fulfil the lusts and desires of the flesh; for you shall have ascended into heaven, within and from heaven descended, without.”
“Thomas, can you receive it?”
“For the Father of spirits, dwells within you and within all of creation, by his Spirit.”
“For even the stones will cry out as a testimony.”
“Life will always beget Life.”
“For where Life is, there is the Spirit, also.”
“Death is an illusion to the spiritual eyes.”
“To the physical; all is physical.”
“All is separation, all is divided.”
“To the spiritual, all is Spirit, embodied.”
“Spirit is eternal; the words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are truth.”
“The flesh profits nothing.”
“The keys to the kingdom, are within man’s heart; in the spirit of man.”
“There is an heavenly and there is an earthly kingdom.”
“My kingdom is not of this earth!”
“Our Father’s kingdom come, our Father’s will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
“Do you see, Thomas?”
“A spirit disembodied, does not have flesh and bone.”
“For the Life, is in the blood.”
“The Life of the flesh, is in the blood.”
“The Spirit is the Life of the flesh.”
“I Am the Life of the flesh.”
“This vessel, I can take it up, or I can lay it aside, again.”
“Greater works than these, shall you do also, for My Father does the work and my Father is greater than I.”
“The words that I speak; as I hear my Father, so I speak.”
“For Our Father is, I Am That I Am.”
“I Am The All That Is.”
“The Ever Present Omnipresent One”
“The All Knowing All Seeing Omniscient One”
“The All Powerful Omnipotent One”
“The All There Is”
“I Am All In All”
“I Am Love”
“I Am One”
“I and the Father, are One”
“Thomas; I and the Father, are in you and you in me and we are all One”
“Thomas; now do you see?”
“You are spirit, of my spirit, flesh, of my flesh, bone, of my bone, blood, of my blood.”
“We are, I Am!”
“Our Father is All In All, as All In All”
There is no separation!
There never was!
There never has been!
There never will be!
All in All is Now; Eternal!
Eternity, as Eternal Life, is Always Now.
It never ceases to be anything else, but Eternal!
Spirit, can only be Eternal, Everywhere and Everything; All at Once!
That Is All There Is!
One All In All!
There is nothing else.
Life can only be Life
Death is merely the moving or transitioning of Life, of Spirit, of Energy; from an embodiment; a physical representation, incarnation, or manifestation; to pure disembodied Spirit!
We are primarily spirits, Spirit; embodied, having a physical, human experience.
For where the carcass is, the spirit is absent.
Yet, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not die!
Death, where is your victory?
For death is swallowed up of Life!
The words I speak to you, they are Spirit and they are Life!
For I Am The Way, The Truth And The Life …
Again, my paraphrase.
Take it or leave it.
