By saying I AM THIS, NOT THAT, you are effectively casting your own veil upon your consciousness, and limiting yourself from experiencing the totality of who you really are. The subconscious mind responds positively to "NOT". Thus the more you declare yourself to NOT be something, the more that your subconscious draws experiences to you which prove you to be a hypocrite.
There is an old spiritual teaching which sums up the course of human development in three stages: 1. I AM THIS. 2. I AM THAT. 3. I AM.
Liked this. Thanks Tenet!
