I am who I am: Mysticism of God’s Name and the Question of “Who am I”
Abstract
The paper interprets, in an original way, a connection between the Biblical name of God “I am who I am” and the mystical search of human identity. It presents God as the “author”, “director” and “player” in His world “drama”, while His human “co-actors” are not cognizant of their true identity as they are fully identified with their roles. According to the author, the idea of imitation of Christ points mainly to the discovery of this lost identity by following the question of “Who am I”.
