I AM, Therefore I Become: A Journey into Higher Self Consciousness

I AM Consciousness: A Relationship Practice That Will Change Your Life

Inspired by a conversation with my wife, Kateřina Love

We didn’t fall in love at a tantra festival.

We met in a Prague café. No chakras opened. No angels sang.

But something landed. A realness. A clarity.

And from that moment, we’ve been students of each other.

She teaches me yoga (and how to clean a kitchen properly).

I share the I AM work.

We don’t play guru games. We practice truth. Together.

In this conversation, we explore the I AM Self — also known as the Higher Self — and how we’ve each learned to work with it… not as a concept, but as a living reality.

So… what exactly is the I AM Self?

Let’s break this down.

Your I AM Self is your highest consciousness.

Your purest intelligence.

Your direct line to Source.

Not just some New Age affirmation — but the actual frequency of your soul’s divine plan. The unfiltered blueprint of who you came here to be.

Some call it the Higher Self. Some say Soul.

But when we speak from the I AM… something activates.

It’s not just language. It’s command.

It’s alignment.

The call “Divine Plan Aligned I AM” isn’t poetry. It’s physics.

You’re aligning your entire being — soul, body, mind — to your highest timeline.

Simple words. Massive impact.

Kateřina’s Journey with the I AM

When we met, Kateřina already had a deep relationship with her spiritual path. Yoga. Regression therapy. Inner work. All part of her daily life. But when I introduced her to the I AM language, it was a new dimension.

“I wasn’t your student,” she says.

“But I became a student of the I AM.”

For her, it brought clarity. Simplicity. Power.

As a non-native English speaker, she initially found the language strange — but the energy spoke for itself.

When she calls upon her I AM, she sees her: a radiant feminine version of herself, smiling, stable, deeply relaxed. Not a warrior in the fight, but a sovereign force of peace.

“She laughs when I stress,” Kateřina says.

“She reminds me it’s not that serious.”

And that’s the thing with the I AM. It doesn’t judge.

It sees beyond your stories.

It sees the truth of who you are and what’s actually possible for you.

How the I AM Heals the Past

Let’s talk about trauma.

We all have our patterns. Loops. Past stories that refuse to die.

Sometimes it’s big stuff. Sometimes it’s the subtle shame spirals.

But either way, forgiveness is the gateway.

Enter: Forgive I AM — one of the most powerful tools in the I AM toolkit.

Why is it different?

Because it doesn’t just come from your ego trying to be nice.

It’s a full-body, full-being, soul-level release.

When you say Forgive I AM, your Higher Self initiates the process.

Not to bypass. Not to pretend.

But to actually clear the density.

Transmute it.

Let the gold rise.

Kaia and I have used this in our relationship, too.

Not just to process childhood stuff… but to move through our own triggers and patterns as a couple.

When both partners are in I AM alignment, there’s no war.

No power struggle.

Just clarity and love — even when things get messy.

Can the I AM and the Soul Disagree?

Great question. And yes, they can feel very different.

Your soul down here? It’s navigating the trenches.

It’s the one crying in the bathtub and yelling at the dog.

It’s beautiful and raw — but it can get tangled up in the chaos.

Your I AM? Doesn’t fight. Doesn’t panic.

It holds the lighthouse while the soul gets its hands dirty.

The goal is to bring them into union.

Let the I AM guide. Let the soul express.

It’s what we call Sacred Union — and when it’s embodied, creation becomes effortless.

What Creation Looks Like When You’re In Alignment

Since working more intentionally with the I AM, Kateřina says her whole creative flow has changed. She’s more grounded. Less in her head. More connected to her intuition.

“The more I listen to my I AM, the more life becomes a dance,” she says.

The same has been true for me.

Writing. Podcasting. Teaching. Loving.

All of it flows better when it’s I AM-led.

You don’t chase life.

Life meets you where you are.

You’re no longer trying to “manifest” from a wounded place.

You’re creating with the full architecture of your soul.

Final Thoughts from Stephen James

You don’t need to be perfect.

You don’t need to understand every chakra or do 1,000 sun salutations before breakfast.

But you do need to listen.

To what your soul is whispering.

To what your I AM already knows.

This is the path of maturity. Of sovereignty.

It’s the difference between constantly healing… and finally creating.

If you’re ready to go deeper with this work, I invite you to join my newsletter on heartinitiation.com, where I share more about the I AM language, free trainings, and the deeper tools that helped me awaken the holy trinity within — the Divine Masculine, Divine Feminine, and Inner Child.

Big love from me and Kateřina.

May your I AM guide your next step.

You’re never alone.
