There comes a moment in every spiritual journey when the seeker realizes that what they have been searching for has never been outside themselves. That moment, when awareness blossoms into unity, is the awakening that Susie Hicks invites readers to experience in her 365-day contemplative journal, I Am That. I Am.
At its essence, this work reminds us of a simple yet interesting truth: we are not separate from God, we are expressions of the Divine itself. Through the rhythm of daily I Am reflections, the author guides readers toward a deeper understanding of their spiritual identity. Showing that the Divine lives, breathes, and creates through each of us.
Each page of I Am That. I Am is a meditation on unity. The I Am statements: “I am the light and the dark,” “I am the creator and the creation,” “I am every breath, every thought, and every creation” are not just poetic affirmations. They are portals into awareness. As readers contemplate each statement, they are invited to see beyond the illusion of separation and recognize the sacred thread connecting all of existence.
In today’s world, where division, comparison, and disconnection often dominate our experience, Susan’s message feels like a breath of divine remembrance. Her journal calls us back to our spiritual center, the space within where God and self meet as one. To rediscover this truth is to awaken to our inherent wholeness. When we see ourselves as reflections of the Divine, compassion naturally expands, fear begins to dissolve, and life itself becomes an expression of love in motion.
This shift from awareness to unity is not merely intellectual. It is experiential. As the author explains through her work, understanding the omnipresence of God means recognizing that the Spirit is equally present in joy and sorrow, strength and weakness, creation and destruction. By embracing the fullness of life, not just the moments that feel light or pure, we begin to experience the Divine as infinite, all-encompassing, and intimately connected to every breath we take.
The beauty of I Am That. I Am lies in its simplicity. There is no doctrine to memorize, no rigid rule to follow. Instead, there is an invitation: to reflect, to feel, to remember. Each day’s reading becomes a mirror, gently reflecting the truth that every human being is an embodiment of divine consciousness: vast, eternal, and whole.
Through consistent contemplation, this awareness deepens. What begins as thought becomes experience. What begins as reflection becomes realization. Slowly, the boundaries between me and the Divine begin to fade, replaced by a serene understanding that there has never been a separation at all. This is the ultimate purpose of Susan’s journal: to guide readers into this awakening, where the self and Spirit exist as one seamless flow of being.
To live from this awareness is to live in peace. When we see God in all, in the stranger, in nature, in the moments of silence and even in chaos, life becomes sacred. Our relationships deepen, our purpose clarifies, and our days become acts of quiet devotion. In this space of unity, we no longer strive to find divinity; we simply remember that we already are it. I Am That. I Am is a year-long journey into remembrance, a spiritual companion that leads readers from awareness to oneness, from seeking to knowing.
Begin your awakening today with I Am That. I Am by Susie Hicks and find yourself as a reflection of the Divine, whole and luminous, united with all that is.
