A few mornings ago I awoke with a message. The movie screen of my mind was lit with a bright, brilliantly shining sign that spanned far and wide. It read, BEAM. As I watched the sign…enchanted with it’s sparkly bedazzlement and captured by my curiosity, wondering why I was seeing this one simple word so intensely in my mind’s eye, the sign began to morph.
The word BEAM…ever so slowing created space in the center…now revealing two words. Be Am.
How profound, I thought. I’d never thought of the word ‘beam’ in this way before.
For someone who’s all about shining her brilliance and beaming the light of her Divine Spark just because it feels so good, you’d have thought I may have considered this nifty word’s hidden message before.
BEAM ~
How cool is it that BEAM, which defined as a noun means:
- A ray or shaft of light * a directional flow of particles or radiation (energy beam)
- A radiant or good-natured look or smile (a beam of satisfaction)
And that BEAM, when defined as a verb means:
- transmit (energy) in a specified direction
- shine brightly
- smile radiantly
…how cool is it that BEAM as it is defined is so magically supportive of the two words brilliantly encoded within it, BE and AM?!?
My Joy of Brilliance Messengers rock so deep! They know just how much I LOVE words and discovering more to them than meets the eye, so to speak.
Awakening to this BEAMing sign was one of those moments that has left me tingling with JOY ever since.
BE and AM ~
I’m sure I learned this somewhere back in the history of my grammatical English training. And I’m sure I haven’t thought about it a day since. Until now.
- The words BE and AM are representative of one another.
- ‘Am’ is the 1st person singular present of ‘Be’.
- Of course it is!
Both words have the same definition.
Be and Am ~
- exist
- occur; take place
- having the state, quality, identity, nature, role, etc., specified
BEAM the AHA!
When we BEAM our BE AM-ness, we shine our light into the world from the inside, out…exuding the very qualities of our Joy of Brilliance!
It’s the eternal I AM. It’s BE-ing. It’s beam, with a wonderful, magical, brilliant capital B!
From this point forward BEAM will forever hold a deeper, more meaningful significance in the expression of my Joy of Brilliance.
I’m beaming with JOY, visualizing each and every one of you receiving this message of BeAm-ness into your experience.
‘Shine on’ rides side car today.
‘BEAM on’ is in the driver’s seat. Be Am your Joy of Brilliance to the max!
What will you BeAm today?
BEAM me up…let me hear all about it!

Love this message Debra. This is something uplifting about simply “being” and the “I am-ness” of life. Beam of course reminds me of the old “Beam me up Scottie” but it is a great analogy of how one feels when they are centered and aligned.
Keep writing and posting.

Thanks Kevin.
Yes, the old ‘Beam me up, Scottie’ was fresh in my memory too when I titled the post.
I like the vibe that ‘beaming up’ conjures:
BEAM Me up = raise the vibe higher and higher, continuously aligning more vibrantly with my JOY of Brilliance.
