Is the 'I am' the Absolute?

A man asks if the ‘I am’ is the absolute. Rupert suggests that the ‘I am’ is a doorway at the back of the finite mind. This doorway has the words ‘I am’ written above it. If the finite mind passes through that doorway, it loses its limitations and stands revealed as infinite being. From infinite being's point of view, when it looks at the doorway, the doorway also has ‘I am’ written above it, but when it passes through the same doorway in the opposite direction it acquires a limit and seems to become the finite mind. The ‘I am’ is a doorway through which the individual passes out of time into eternity, and through which infinite consciousness passes from eternity into time.
