The goal of the Iamist faith is to overcome demiself by restoring omniself. In demiself I am demipotent – that is, I have limited power to achieve and satisfy my desire. However in omniself I am omnipotent, and I have unlimited power to achieve my desire.
In demiself, I desire that which will not permanently satisfy. My demiselfist desires only lead me in a circular path of dissatisfaction and un-fulfillment. But in omniself, that which I desire and that which can satisfy me are one and the same. So the Iamist faith is a matter of re-orientation toward that which will end my desire, and away from transitory relief that will not.
There are four pillars of omnipotence and thus omniself: omnipresence, omnisubstance, omnificence, and omniscience. Omniscience is the most difficult to grasp, but essential to restoring omniself. To rediscover and reclaim my omniscience I must disabuse myself of fallacious and delusional notions that come with performative personhood.
I can meditate on a few concepts to better understand and grasp my essential omniscience:
Truth is a dynamic decision, not a static fact. The concept of truth is a decision I have sovereignty over. I have two options: that which I directly experience, or that which is decreed by an authority.
Truth has a focus component. Truth is something I focus on and accept or reject. Those truths I have accepted form a constellation upon which I base my reality and self-awareness.
Potency. Potency is a quality of my direct experience now. My direct experience at this moment is the most potent truth of all. As the distance between my direct experience at this moment and the truth on which I am focused increases, that truth becomes less potent. There is the potent truth of my direct experience in this moment, and the impotent truth outside of my direct experience at this moment. If potency guides my truth, then I am able to see how to heal and overcome my illness.
Truth is essential to healing. Truth is the only way to see who I actually am. But I must select the correct truth, which is the most potent.
Precision. Precision is critical in describing what I know. A truth that is spoken correctly and connects the dots to my actual experience will trigger a shift in my self-awareness.
Discard impotent truths. Most of the devices I use to represent what I know are actually abstract and unknowable. For example, if I search for “the nature of reality”, I will find references to my brain and various other abstract concepts I cannot directly experience. I do not experience a brain; I imagine it. Everything I do not know, but which comes from “authorities” is impotent truth and will only trap me here in my awakening.
Allow change to happen. What I know will change, as well as how I describe what I know. I must allow that change to happen and not get too focused on the incantations I shed as words on paper. The truth is not in the writings I leave behind, but in my conviction that hardens as I utter them.

Isn’t potency just a measure of subjectivity and objectivity?
There is certainly overlap in the definition, but they are not identical. Potency is a repossession effort and redefines the concept around me, rather than an imaginary consensus of authorities.
