When it comes to existence, opposites come side by side: joy and sorrow, light and dark, peace and chaos. Yet, instead of seeing them as contradictions, what if we understood them as two sides of the same divine truth? This is the heart of I Am That. I Am, A 365-day contemplative journal by Susie Hicks that gently guides readers to embrace both ends of life’s spectrum as sacred expressions of one omnipresent Spirit.
At the core of this work lies the Law of Polarity. The universal truth is that everything exists in relation to its opposite. There can be no day without night, no compassion without suffering, no triumph without struggle. Through daily I Am reflections, Hicks invites readers to shift their perception from separation to unity, that every contrast is an opportunity for deeper awareness and growth.
Each page of the book becomes a mirror, reflecting both the beauty and the discomfort within us. Statements such as I am the light and the dark, or I am the creator and the creation, hold immense simplicity. Yet within them lies the essence of spiritual evolution. These reflections remind us that divine presence isn’t found only in moments of clarity and calm, but also in confusion, pain, and uncertainty. When we stop resisting one side of the polarity and instead honor it as part of a greater whole, healing begins to unfold naturally.
In our modern world, we often label emotions and experiences as good or bad. We chase happiness while fleeing from discomfort. But Hicks’ journal challenges that dualistic mindset. By contemplating both aspects: love and fear, chaos and peace, weakness and strength, we learn to see them not as enemies, but as teachers. The Law of Polarity helps us recognize that every end of the spectrum exists to help us understand the other. Through that understanding, we step closer to spiritual wholeness.
This journey isn’t always easy. As the author warns in her introduction, some reflections may bring peace, while others may stir anger or confusion. That’s because true growth often begins in discomfort. Yet it’s precisely in that space of tension that change happens. When we allow both sides of light and shadow to coexist within us. We become more compassionate toward ourselves and toward others.
The practice of daily reflection in the book is not about perfection. It’s about presence. Each I Am statement is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember the divine truth flowing through every experience. Over time, this daily contemplation becomes a rhythm. A sacred practice that helps align our inner world with the eternal harmony of the universe.
To understand the Law of Polarity is to accept that the divine works through all things. Just as the sun rises after the longest night, and calm follows every storm, our souls, too, move through cycles of contrast and renewal. Every emotion, every situation, every person becomes a reflection of Spirit seeking expression.
If you’ve ever longed for peace amid chaos, or sought meaning in moments of struggle, I Am That. I Am offers more than words. It offers awakening. Each day’s reflection opens the heart a little wider, reminding us that we are not separate from the Divine, but living embodiments of it. Both shadow and light, both the question and the answer. Begin your own journey of discovery. Let I Am That. I Am be your companion in finding harmony within life’s opposites, and in doing so, find the wholeness that has always been within you.
