The Moses Code by James F. Twyman: A Beginner’s Guide to Manifestation Through “I AM THAT I AM”
The cover of The Moses Code highlights its promise as “the most powerful manifestation tool in the history of the world.” James F. Twyman’s The Moses Code is more than just another law of attraction book – it’s a spiritual manual centered on the biblical phrase “I AM THAT I AM.” In this guide, Twyman reveals an ancient secret for manifesting miracles by aligning with the sacred name of God. The Moses Code teaches that by identifying ourselves with the divine (“I AM”), we can attract everything we desire – wealth, relationships, health – yet its true purpose goes even deeper. Twyman emphasizes that the real power of the Moses Code lies in what you are willing to give to others, not just what you can get, shifting the focus from personal gain to global compassion. Written in a warm, beginner-friendly tone, The Moses Code bridges personal transformation with a vision of world peace and oneness. Below, we break down James Twyman’s spiritual teachings chapter by chapter, highlighting key themes, practical exercises, and lessons – from using the “I AM” law of attraction techniques to practicing divine generosity and sacred sound. If you’re new to Twyman or curious about manifestation and sacred sound practices, this summary will help you grasp the essentials and start applying the Moses Code in your own life.
Chapter-by-Chapter Summary & Spiritual Insights
- Chapter 1 – Part I: The Law of Attraction: Twyman opens by introducing the Law of Attraction as the foundation for the Moses Code. He explains that we all possess the inherent power to attract what we deeply desire – a power that has always been within us. However, humanity stands at a critical turning point: how we choose to use this power can lead either to significant growth or to destruction. Key lesson: Our choices and intentions matter. The chapter urges conscious use of intention, not merely for personal gain but to uplift the world. Twyman issues a call to action: instead of focusing solely on “getting,” aim to create a life and world built on compassion, peace, and faith. Misusing the Law of Attraction for selfish ends could have detrimental outcomes, so from the very start the Moses Code is framed as a tool for global good as much as personal success. This intro sets the stage for a transformative journey, inviting readers to recognize their unique role in manifesting a better reality.
- Chapter 2 – A Story for the Ages: Twyman dives into the biblical story of Moses to uncover the origin of the “Moses Code.” We revisit Moses’s journey – from being a prince of Egypt to an exiled shepherd – culminating in the famous burning bush encounter. At the burning bush, God reveals His holy name to Moses: “I AM THAT I AM.” Twyman presents this moment as the unlocking of an extraordinary manifestation code. Spiritual insight: When God declares “I AM THAT I AM,” it connects Moses’s own identity (“I am”) with the Divine Presence. In other words, Moses (and by extension, all of us) share in God’s essence. This realization gives Moses the power to perform miracles – it becomes a catalyst for miracles and the eventual liberation of the Israelites. Twyman suggests that the secret Moses received is actually a universal gift: anyone who recognizes their shared identity with God can attract their deepest desires. Theme: The power of self-identification with the divine. By affirming “I AM one with the Divine,” we tap into an infinite source of power. The chapter challenges us: Will we embrace the idea that God’s blessings are accessible to everyone and claim the miracles waiting for us? The Moses Code begins with realizing “I Am that (which) I Am” – that the divine spark in Moses is also in you, ready to help manifest your dreams.
- Chapter 3 – A Gift from God: Here Twyman emphasizes developing a personal conversation with God, much like Moses had. He suggests that accepting personal responsibility for every aspect of our life – even areas of lack or illness – is key to unlocking happiness and abundance. This chapter digs deeper into the meaning of God’s revealed name. Insight: God’s name “I AM THAT I AM” is presented as a powerful spiritual tool. Twyman explains that this singular divine name (in Hebrew, related to YHWH) signifies God’s presence in everyone. By understanding and using this name, we align our personal power with God’s power to manifest miracles. For example, Moses, armed with “I AM THAT I AM,” could turn a staff into a serpent and even part the Red Seabookey.app. Twyman then introduces two practical Moses Code techniques for readers:After practicing these techniques, Twyman encourages readers to fully embody the feelings of having achieved their desire – celebrate as if it’s already done. This joyful emotion cements the connection between your personal energy and God’s creative power, allowing your dream to manifest. Lesson: Faith-fueled imagination transforms into reality. By the end of Chapter 3, the Moses Code is revealed as a process: identify with God (“I AM”), claim your desire, feel it, and give thanks, thereby uniting personal intention with divine creation.
- Exercise #1: The First Form – “I AM THAT”: Write down your goals or desires, then enter a quiet meditative state. Breathe deeply and affirm your connection to these desires by chanting “I AM THAT.” In doing so, you claim that what you seek is already a part of you. This practice builds the unshakeable belief that your dream (be it health, love, prosperity, etc.) is your present reality.
- Exercise #2: Attracting What You Want: Visualize a specific desire as if it’s already fulfilled. Create a vivid mental scene of living your goal. As you hold this vision, repeatedly declare “I AM THAT” – affirming that God acknowledges this desire as part of your being. Importantly, express gratitude for it now. Gratitude, Twyman stresses, is a powerful amplifier that reinforces your faith in the reality of what you’re attracting.
- Chapter 4 – Ramses the Great: Twyman returns to the Exodus story, contrasting Moses with Pharaoh Ramses II to explore ego vs. divine power. Moses – an aging shepherd armed only with God’s name – confronts Ramses, the mightiest ruler of his time. This dramatic face-off highlights two sources of power: worldly authority (Ramses’s armies, wealth, and status) versus spiritual authority (Moses’s reliance on “I AM” divine energy). Despite Moses’s humble appearance, he wields a unique spiritual strength through the Moses Code. The ensuing story of the Ten Plagues is retold not just as a biblical tale, but as a metaphor for inner transformation. Twyman invites us to reflect on the nature of God depicted here – at times seemingly vengeful (the plagues) versus compassionate – and what it means for our understanding of divine justice and love. Key theme: The duality between ego and spirit. Ramses’ hardened heart represents human pride and resistance, whereas Moses demonstrates faith and surrender to God’s will. Twyman suggests that the Sacred Name Moses invoked (“I AM THAT I AM”) was the true source of those miraculous outcomes. In modern terms, the Moses Code can help us “transcend our limitations.” By re-discovering this ancient principle, we too can rise above obstacles that seem as formidable as pharaohs.– Exercise – Overcoming Limitations: Twyman provides a reflection exercise here. He asks readers to identify a personal limitation or fear that’s been holding them back. Then, using the essence of the Moses Code, reframe that limitation: affirm your inherent power (“I AM” strong, capable, guided”) in place of any fear-based belief. By connecting with your inner divinity through prayer or meditation, you can summon the strength to overcome challenges. The idea is that through faith and remembering your divine connection, no limitation (even one as oppressive as an Egyptian pharaoh!) can truly bind you. Twyman’s message: When you know who you are in God, you become unstoppable.
- Chapter 5 – A Conversation with God: In this chapter, Twyman illustrates how the Moses Code shifts our understanding of prayer and manifestation. He recounts a real-life experiment from 1998, when he and other spiritual authors (like Gregg Braden and Doreen Virtue) organized a worldwide meditation to test the power of affirmation-based prayer. As an example, during a tense moment in 1999 when war was looming, thousands joined in meditating on the affirmation “peace prevails now.” Strikingly, the military action was unexpectedly delayed at that same time. This story serves to demonstrate how aligning many “I AM” intentions (in this case “I AM peace”) might influence reality.Twyman then introduces the Sacred Name of God as a personal prayer tool. Citing researcher Gregg Braden, he shares a fascinating idea: God’s name is literally encoded in our DNA, meaning all humans carry the divine imprint within. If true, this symbolizes that we are all truly children of the Creator – inherently connected and capable of manifesting good. The chapter’s core insight is a redefinition of prayer: Instead of begging or pleading with a distant deity, realize that each thought you have is a prayer shaping your experience. Often, we sabotage ourselves by repeatedly thinking (praying for) what we don’t want, focusing on fear or lack. Twyman humorously illustrates this with “the boy and the bike” story: a child prays for a bicycle but, seeing no immediate result, resorts to desperate measures (in one version of the tale, he even tries to bargain by hiding a statue of Mary, hoping God will “exchange” it for a bike!). This anecdote shows the wrong approach – trying to coerce or manipulate outcomes. The Moses Code way is different: know that what you seek is already given and align with it, rather than struggle or force it into being. Key lessons: Miracles don’t require strain; they follow universal laws, whether big or small. The real “conversation with God” is happening in our hearts and minds continuously. Twyman challenges us to listen for God’s responses (often felt as intuitive nudges or a peaceful inner voice) instead of thinking our prayers go unanswered. He advises aligning every desire with God’s will – which he assures is always for our highest good – to invite a flow of abundance. We must also take full responsibility for what we create in life. This empowering stance means no more victim mindset; if something isn’t working, we have the ability to change our thoughts and align anew.– Exercise – Realignment with God’s Will: On a practical note, Twyman suggests a simple but enlightening exercise. Take a sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle. On the left, list some beliefs, goals, or worries you have (e.g. “I need more money to be secure”). On the right, write what you intuitively feel is God’s vision of that same topic (e.g. “God provides endless abundance, I am always supported”). Now compare the two columns. This visual helps you spot where your personal mindset diverges from a more divine perspective. Next, consciously choose one of the “God-aligned” beliefs on the right and affirm it as your own. For example, you might replace “I am lacking” with “I AM abundant and cared for by the Divine.” By doing this, you start shifting your reality toward joy and abundance. The conclusion of Chapter 5 reinforces that when you see yourself as inherently whole, loved, and connected to God, you break free from self-imposed limits and invite miracles. Aligning with the “I AM” within is the key to manifesting your desires and living in grace.
- Chapter 6 – Reality vs. Imagination: Twyman poses a provocative question: Would anyone in their right mind choose imprisonment over freedom? Obviously not – yet on a spiritual level, many of us unconsciously do just that. This chapter explores how our perception can either liberate us or lock us in a mental prison. The concept of the “split mind” is introduced. Humans often see themselves as separate – separate from God and separate from others – which leads to feelings of vulnerability, fear, and loneliness. This illusory separation is like choosing captivity. Insight: Thoughts based on illusion (not grounded in God’s reality) cannot manifest true, lasting results. For example, people once collectively believed the Earth was flat – a widespread imagined reality that persisted until truth dispelled it. Similarly, many of us accept limiting beliefs (“I’m not good enough,” “there’s not enough to go around”) that have no basis in the divine truth of who we are.Twyman encourages us to align with the Creative Force of the Universe – God. If God’s reality is that each of us is holy, beloved, and safe, why should we keep imagining otherwise? The ego (our fearful separate self) perpetually chooses weakness, focusing on what’s missing or could go wrong. But the soul aligned with God chooses strength by acknowledging “I Am whole, I Am connected, I Am love.” The author highlights a powerful spiritual law: The Law of Giving and Receiving. In God’s eyes, giving and receiving are the same – acts of love circulate endlessly. To help readers experience this, Twyman suggests practicing selfless giving. True freedom, he says, comes when you can give to others without expecting anything in return. This shifts us out of ego’s scarcity mindset into the soul’s abundant mindset. He even coins the term “Divine Selfishness,” meaning that if you truly understand oneness, you realize that when you give to others, you are also giving to yourself (since we are all connected). Therefore, helping others fulfill their needs will indirectly fulfill your own.– Practical Exercise: Think of a positive quality or experience you feel you’re lacking right now – for instance, joy, peace, or love. Now, find a creative way to give that very thing to someone else. If you seek joy, maybe do something kind that brings a smile to a friend’s face. If you crave love, go out and express love to a family member or even a pet. This exercise flips the script: instead of trying to get the feeling for yourself, you become a source of it. In doing so, you’ll notice a magical shift – by making another person’s day brighter, your day fills with the same light. Twyman emphasizes that genuine fulfillment comes from the joy of giving. This chapter’s lesson is a liberating one: you escape the ego’s prison of lack by actively living the truth of abundance. See others (and yourself) as holy and worthy, and you’ll realize the Kingdom of God has been within and around you all along.
- Chapter 7 – The Holy Name of God: Having laid the groundwork, Twyman now delves into the spiritual significance of God’s Holy Name and how we relate to it. Recall how Moses initially doubted himself when tasked with freeing his people. God’s response was to reveal His name, “I AM THAT I AM,” which established a new level of intimacy between the Divine and Moses. Twyman poses the question: Was this closeness unique to Moses, or available to everyone? He argues that God’s love and name are given freely to all people, not just a chosen few. In other words, anyone can call upon “I AM” to connect with God’s presence, because God isn’t biased – the Divine is within each of us.The author shares an interesting encounter he had in the holy city of Safed, Israel. A shopkeeper there cautioned him that pronouncing God’s name is forbidden – stemming from the biblical commandment about not taking God’s name in vain. Over history, some traditions became so concerned with misusing the Name that they decided it should never be spoken aloud. Twyman respectfully challenges this interpretation. He notes that originally, ancient Hebrews did speak the Name (often “Yahweh” or “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh” in Hebrew) during prayer; the intent was reverence, not fear. Over time, however, the focus shifted to avoidance, which Twyman feels creates unnecessary fear and distance from God. Instead of fostering intimacy, never saying the Name might actually prevent people from forming a personal connection.Twyman also clears up a common misunderstanding of God’s Name. In Hebrew, the phrase God spoke can be understood as “I will be who I will be,” implying an ever-unfolding nature. Some worry this future-tense meaning complicates using “I AM” in the present. Twyman’s view: regardless of translation nuances, the power lies in the intention. Whether you say “I AM” or understand it as “I will be,” what matters is that you’re calling on the Divine Presence with sincerity. The Moses Code isn’t about uttering magic words in one perfect language – it’s about the consciousness behind the words. Intention is everything. If your heart is in the right place, you could even use a different name for God; it’s the relationship and recognition of oneness that activates the Code.To deepen this relationship, Twyman gives another technique:
- Exercise #6: The Second Form – Giving with “I AM”: Earlier, we learned the first form (“I AM that” to claim what you desire). Now, Twyman encourages reversing the approach. Instead of focusing on receiving, focus on giving. For instance, choose a quality like compassion, peace, or generosity and affirm “I AM that” in the sense that you are here to give or embody that quality in the world. Say “I AM compassion,” and let that guide your actions today – perhaps through volunteering or simply listening to someone in need. By being the love or peace you want to see, you align with God’s nature as the ultimate giver. This exercise transforms the Moses Code from a personal manifestation tool into a practice of spiritual service. Twyman notes that as we imitate God’s giving, we actually fulfill our own salvation. After all, if God’s will for us is “perfect joy” and wholeness, then living as a conduit of love brings us that joy. The chapter wraps up Part I of the book by reminding us that Heaven (the Kingdom of God) isn’t a far-off place – it exists within each of us. When we consistently express our divine qualities (our inner “I AM”) through daily actions, we experience a little bit of heaven on earth.
- Chapter 8 – Part II: The Real Journey Begins: Up to this point, Twyman has given us tools to manifest desires and hints of the deeper purpose behind them. Now he offers a turning point. He frankly warns readers that continuing further will lead into more profound, perhaps challenging, spiritual territory. You have a choice: you can take what you’ve learned so far – using the Moses Code to attract abundance and improve your life – or you can venture down a path of even greater transformation. Two paths are laid out. The first path is the familiar one: apply the Code superficially to get more money, a new car, a better job, etc. There’s nothing “wrong” with that path, but Twyman suggests it’s not the ultimate goal of the Moses Code. The second path goes much deeper and “begins the real journey.” It’s described as more difficult and even “dangerous” in the sense that it might upend your old way of living. This path asks for real commitment and possibly sacrifice (letting go of ego’s attachments), but it promises far greater fulfillment. Twyman almost gives a loving dare here: Are you willing to go all the way to discover who you truly are?He notes that the second path could involve personal losses or facing one’s shadows – hence the warning that it’s not for the faint-hearted. It might lead you through a “dark night” of confronting your ego, but ultimately it guides you toward true satisfaction beyond material gain. By the end of this short transitional chapter, the author “invites” us to proceed toward awakening. If our heart resonates with it, we should step forward, trusting that the teachings ahead will fulfill our deepest spiritual longings. Twyman reassures that this journey, while challenging, will carry us toward eternity – a richer understanding of ourselves and our relationship with the Divine. In essence, Chapter 8 is a soulful pause to ask: How far do you want to go with the Moses Code? Those who continue are choosing not just a better life, but a transformed existence.
- Chapter 9 – The Two Paths: Picking up the metaphor of the fork in the road, Twyman dives into what these two paths really entail. He emphasizes that God honors clear, wholehearted decisions. If you choose the deeper path, commit to it fully and help will come (he even suggests angelic support follows a resolute choice). Twyman paints a vivid image: imagine yourself standing at a forked path. To the right lies the fulfillment of the soul’s longings, to the left, the fulfillment of the ego’s desires.Here he clearly defines ego vs. soul characteristics in a sort of side-by-side comparison:Twyman uses an analogy of light and shadow to explain our perception. Imagine God as a bright light and your soul as a body that can either face the light or turn away. When we focus on the ego’s projections (the shadows on the wall), we forget the actual light source behind us. We treat the shadow (illusion) as reality and get lost in fear. The truth, however, is that only the Light (God) is real and enduring. Our ultimate journey is to turn around from the shadow play and walk step by step toward the Light.Twyman describes Three Stages of Understanding in this journey:– Exercise #7: What Your Soul Really Wants: To help shift from ego to soul, Twyman suggests a soulful exercise. Take time to list out your soul’s deepest longings – not things, but qualities like peace, freedom, love, joy, purpose. These are the “treasures of Heaven” your soul truly yearns for. Now, use the Moses Code in this context: for each quality on your list, affirm that you already are that. Through meditation or prayer, chant “I AM peace,” “I AM love,” etc., and visualize those qualities welling up from within youb. Twyman says these qualities already reside in our divine core; the Moses Code can awaken them. As you do this, you may experience a profound sense of fulfillment that far surpasses any ego gratification. For example, chanting “I AM love” might bring up a feeling of unconditional love that makes material worries fade away. The idea is to satisfy your soul first – and interestingly, when you do, the outer things ego wanted often show up with less effort. This exercise aligns with the biblical notion that if you “seek first the Kingdom of God” (the light, the higher path), “all these things will be added unto you.” By prioritizing soul desires, the ego’s desires get resolved in the background naturally, a concept Twyman refers to as the “trickle-down theory of enlightenment.”
- The ego believes it is separate from everything (including God). It operates out of fear, constantly defending itself and worrying about survival. The ego seeks security in material accumulation and external approval, yet no matter how much it gets, it remains anxious. It sees life through the lens of lack and threat, often obsessing over death or loss.
- The soul, by contrast, knows that it is eternally connected and lacks nothing. The soul’s nature is giving rather than hoarding. It understands that by giving love, help, or resources, it is instantly fulfilled because it taps into an unlimited divine supply. The soul isn’t fooled by the illusions of death or scarcity – it recognizes itself (and others) as invulnerable light-beings, part of God’s infinite life.
- Shadow – identifying with the ego and its fears,
- Body – awakening to the soul’s perspective of love and interconnection (a step closer to light),
- Light – fully embracing God/Oneness as the only reality.
- Chapter 10 – Spiritual vs. Religious: Twyman takes a thoughtful look at the differences between a religious mindset and a spiritual mindset, noting that the Moses Code aligns more with personal spirituality. He mentions author Neale Donald Walsch (of Conversations with God fame) who asserted that God speaks to everyone, not just prophets or priests. This democratization of divine communication is key: each person can have a direct relationship with God, just as Moses did. Twyman asks readers to recall moments when they felt lost or afraid and then sensed a comforting inner voice or a miraculous guidance out of nowhere. He suggests that this wasn’t “just you” – it was the God within you, your Higher Self, in dialogue with you. Recognizing that your inner voice and God’s voice are not separate can transform how you live daily.He outlines a few contrasts:Twyman highlights the role of mystics across traditions. Mystics (whether Christian saints, Sufi poets, Kabbalists, etc.) often spoke of a deeply personal, loving communion with God that transcended dogma. They felt oneness and unconditional love in their meditation or prayer – very much what the Moses Code encourages with the “I AM” practice. Moses himself, Twyman points out, modeled this intimate friendship with God. By understanding and using the Holy Name, Moses showed that humanity could engage with the Divine directly, not through distant ritual but through a conversation “as a man speaks to his friend” (as Exodus describes Moses’s talks with God). One beautiful concept in this chapter is Divine Giving. Twyman reiterates that from God’s perspective, giving and receiving are one continuous act. God is endlessly pouring out love and never “runs out,” and we are designed to operate the same way. When we fully realize our oneness with God, giving to others doesn’t diminish us – it expands us. The Moses Code’s use of “I AM THAT” with each breath becomes a way to affirm this unity between the human and the divine. Twyman suggests a simple practice: in a quiet moment, breathe in and think “I AM”, breathe out and think “THAT”, contemplating that you are one with all that is (God). This aligns your consciousness with the truth that God isn’t far away at all; God is the breath in your lungs, the life in your being. The takeaway from Chapter 10 is an empowering one: You are inherently connected to the Divine. Spirituality, as Twyman teaches it, is about nurturing that ongoing, loving relationship where you don’t seek external approval or intermediaries – you know the divine presence is within you. By using the Moses Code (through affirmations of “I AM” and seeing the divine in others), you bridge the gap between heaven and earth in everyday life.
- A religious approach often places God outside and above, something to reach through rites or the approval of institutions. It might teach that salvation or enlightenment comes later (e.g., in heaven after death) and emphasizes humanity’s sinfulness or separation from God.
- A spiritual approach, which the Moses Code exemplifies, sees God as intimately present within us and all around us right now. It holds that the “Kingdom of God is within” – meaning we can experience divinity here and now by going within ourselves. Instead of focusing on sin, it focuses on our inherent perfection and wholeness in God.
- Chapter 11 – The Trickle-Down Theory of Enlightenment: In this cleverly titled chapter, Twyman compares spiritual growth to a sort of “Reaganomics” of the soul – but in reverse. He revisits the tension between ego’s agenda and soul’s purpose. The ego, like a greedy executive, fixates on accumulating material comforts and wealth to stave off its fear of death or inadequacy. This corresponds to the first stage of using the Moses Code: manifesting goodies for oneself (money, cars, etc.). Twyman doesn’t scold this – in fact, he acknowledges it can be a necessary early step in awakening. Many people are introduced to manifestation through the promise of getting things they want, and that’s okay as a starting point. But he quickly notes that mastering that stage alone will not fulfill your soul. It’s like eating dessert without ever touching the main course – sweet but not sustaining.Our soul’s yearning, on the other hand, is for something much richer: peace, love, compassion, unity – the eternal treasures. Twyman invokes Jesus’s teaching here: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well.” In essence, when you focus on higher spiritual goals, the lower material needs get taken care of naturally. This is the “trickle-down theory of enlightenment.” If you aim for enlightenment (or living in love, service, oneness), then the joy, peace, and even material support you need will flow down to you. But if you invert this – chasing money or status first – you might get them and still end up spiritually empty, always hungry for more. Twyman uses a Pyramid of Desires to illustrate this. Picture a pyramid where the pinnacle is the Kingdom of God / Highest Truth, and below it are layers of desires, from spiritual fulfillment at the top down to basic material wants at the base. When you secure the top (connection with God, love, purpose), it “trickles down” and brings peace to the lower layers. But if you only fill up the bottom (say you achieve financial success), it won’t necessarily ascend upward to give you inner peace or divine connection – you’ll still feel something is missing.Twyman warns of the consequences of a materialism-first approach: you might obtain wealth or physical comfort and still feel a persistent dissatisfaction. How many successful people have all the trappings of success yet feel miserable or spiritually lost? This is because the soul won’t be ignored forever – it will yearn and nudge until you pay attention to the higher calling. The chapter’s conclusion is a bold statement of truth: you already possess everything you truly need within your soul. The love, the worthiness, the connection – it’s all there, placed by God. Enlightenment (or awakening) is not about attaining something new, but rather recognizing what’s already inside you.– Exercise – Your Own Pyramid of Desires: As a practical takeaway, Twyman invites readers to draw their personal “pyramid.” On a piece of paper, sketch a pyramid with layers. At the top, write your highest spiritual aspirations – for example, “awakening, unity with God, inner peace, divine love.” Below that, in descending order, list other important desires (meaningful work, family happiness, physical health, financial stability, etc.). Now reflect: Are you devoting most of your energy to the base of the pyramid or the top? The exercise is to begin redirecting your focus upward. What daily practices can you do to seek the “Kingdom” first? It could be meditation, prayer, acts of kindness, studying spiritual texts – anything that nourishes your top-tier goals. As you do this, you’ll likely find that the lower needs start aligning or resolving. For instance, committing to serve others or follow your calling might lead you to career opportunities (material support) that also fulfill you. The point is to ensure your ladder of priorities is leaning against the right wall – the wall of spiritual truth. By aligning with your highest purpose, you create a trickle-down of contentment: peace flows down, and material aspects of life fall into place. This chapter encourages a beautiful shift from “How can I get what I want?” to “What does my soul truly want to GIVE and EXPERIENCE?” – trusting that everything else will follow.
- Chapter 12 – Seeing as God Sees: Twyman now challenges us to truly change our perception. The phrase “seeing as God sees” means adopting the divine perspective in our everyday life. Early in the book, we learned to use “I AM THAT I AM” to manifest what the ego feels it lacks (that was level one). Now, at a more advanced stage, we learn to use it to dissolve the ego’s vision entirely. Insight: The first level of the Moses Code was about using God’s name to attract things the ego wants – which proved that power lies within us and we’re capable creators. But once those needs are met or seen through, we realize they never brought lasting fulfillment (the ego always “needs” something more). This pushes us to shift focus from external achievements to internal awakening – the second level of the Code.Twyman reintroduces the analogy of Light, Body, and Shadow (first mentioned in Chapter 9). He explains that to “see as God sees” is to look at the world through the eyes of the soul (the body turned toward the light), not the eyes of the ego (the body turned toward shadow). In practice, this means in any situation or with any person, you make a deliberate choice: Will I see through eyes of fear and judgment, or eyes of love and unity? The ego’s sight shows you separation – “me versus them,” flaws in others, reasons to be defensive. God’s sight, which the soul can share, shows you oneness – the inherent goodness and wholeness in everyone and everything. Twyman lists qualities of the soul’s vision: peace, love, grace, joy, patience. These are like lenses that color the world in kindness and understanding. When you adopt these lenses, you recognize that every person is connected to you, so compassion becomes natural.The ultimate aim of the Moses Code, as Twyman describes, is to move from identifying as the separate ego to identifying as the divine light. In simple terms: to remember that you are the Light (a spark of God) and always have been. Enlightenment isn’t about becoming something else; it’s about letting go of who you are not (all those false ego beliefs and fears) and embracing who you truly are. Twyman admits this is not easy – it requires “significant effort beyond current understanding”. It’s a profound inner shift that might take continuous practice and grace, but it is the “final step” in the Moses Code journey.– Exercise #10: Claiming Oneness: To actively practice seeing with the eyes of the soul, Twyman offers a beautiful exercise. As you go about your day, make a point to recognize your oneness with everyone you encounter. Choose someone – it could be a stranger on the street or a difficult coworker – and silently affirm while breathing, “I AM THAT.” In your mind, identify with the other person: I am that person; we are both expressions of the One Divine life. This isn’t just an intellectual exercise; try to feel it emotionally. For example, if you see someone upset, instead of judging, inwardly say “I Am that – their pain is my pain, and my love is their love.” If someone is joyful, think “I Am that – their joy is mine too.” This practice dissolves the usual walls the ego puts up. Over time, it creates a “tangible experience of oneness” – you start to literally sense the interconnectedness between yourself and others. The result is twofold: it fosters deep compassion (you treat people with more kindness and empathy), and it enhances your own spiritual understanding. You begin to feel the truth of statements like “We are all one” and “God is in everyone,” which were previously just nice concepts. Twyman implies that when you truly see as God sees, miracles become a daily occurrence because you’re living in alignment with Love itself. This chapter is essentially about walking in the world as a spiritually awakened being – recognizing the divine everywhere you look, through the power of “I AM” awareness.
- Chapter 13 – Ego vs. Soul: As the journey nears completion, Twyman offers a recap and a framework using the Moses story as an allegory for our own inner dynamics. He identifies three key figures in the Exodus narrative and how they symbolize aspects of ourselves: Moses, the Burning Bush, and God’s Voice. These correspond to:Twyman explains that Moses receiving the Holy Name “I AM THAT I AM” was a turning point – it symbolized Moses (ego) being introduced to his true power, which comes from oneness with God. The ego alone couldn’t free the slaves, but with the divine name, Moses transcended normal human limits. This highlights that real power comes from identifying with the Divine (Light) rather than the small self.The chapter goes on to examine the nature of the ego in more detail. The ego always looks for satisfaction outside itself (just as Moses initially looked for liberation in external circumstances). It equates freedom with changing something physically (Moses thought freedom was leaving Egypt). But even after liberation, the Israelites, guided by ego, faltered – they built the golden calf, longing for the old comforts of slavery. Twyman uses that story to show how the ego “reverts to past comforts” when the new unknown (even if it’s freedom) feels scary. The ego resists lasting fulfillment; it is fickle and often sabotages spiritual progress by clinging to familiar habits and fears. Its primary agenda is survival and control. It will even manipulate beliefs and ignore truths that threaten it. For instance, your ego might dismiss a profound insight or miracle you experienced as a “coincidence” because fully believing it might mean the ego has to change.In contrast, Twyman describes the soul’s perspective as our saving grace. The soul remembers its innate strength and divinity. It knows that true empowerment comes from within – from the connection to God – not from dominating external situations. The soul naturally operates from a place of love, trust, and service. When we act from the soul, we contribute to the greater good, and paradoxically we end up receiving peace and fulfillment in return (because giving and receiving are one, as earlier noted).Connecting with the Divine is what allows the soul to fully blossom. Twyman suggests that as we engage more with our soul (through prayer, meditation, Moses Code affirmations, etc.), we start to transcend the ego’s limitations. We realize we don’t have to be enslaved by fear, doubt, or selfish impulses. The soul “remembers” that it is connected to all beings – it doesn’t need to be in competition or conflict. Divine abundance flows when we operate at this level: by serving and loving others (like Moses leading people compassionately), we feel the richness of God’s grace providing for us.Twyman basically sets up Moses’s conversation with God at the burning bush as a framework for understanding the entire journey. It’s the map from ego to soul to God. We each must ask: Which character am I living as? Are you like Moses before the bush, stuck in ego and fear? Are you like Moses at the bush, hearing God’s call (your soul awakening) and stepping into service? Or are you beginning to identify with the Voice itself, recognizing your unity with God? The chapter invites a lot of self-reflection. Twyman encourages readers to see where they are in this “manifestation drama” and to consciously choose to move beyond ego motivations (like just accumulating stuff or seeking personal glory) toward the soul’s purpose (love, unity, service).In conclusion, Chapter 13 drives home that the ego’s path is ultimately futile for finding real happiness. We inevitably get to a point where we yearn for something more – the connection, the meaning, the divine love. The Moses Code has been guiding us to acknowledge that deep yearning and answer it by embracing our soul and the divine oneness. True fulfillment, Twyman reminds us, lies in living our soul’s purpose and realizing our unity with the Universe. Everything else (what we thought we wanted) is just icing on the cake.
- Moses – representing the ego or personality, the part of us that struggles, doubts, and seeks freedom (initially in a limited way). Moses’s own ego thought freedom meant just escaping Pharaoh, much like our ego thinks freedom is having no external restrictions.
- The Burning Bush – representing the soul, the higher self that is ignited with God’s presence (fire that burns but doesn’t consume). The bush was an instrument for God’s voice, just as our soul is the receiver of divine inspiration.
- God (the Voice from the bush) – representing the Light or Divine Self, the ultimate truth and source.
- Chapter 14 – The Final Step: The journey reaches its climax with what Twyman calls “the final step” of the Moses Code – which, intriguingly, is less of a step forward and more of a profound surrender. He begins by describing the moment of awakening as realizing your oneness with God completely. This is the ultimate aim: to know beyond a doubt that you and your Creator are not separate. When this hits you, it can be exhilarating – the greatest epiphany – but also intimidating to the ego. You might feel a flash of fear because the ego interprets oneness as its own demise. Twyman reassures that any fear is just the last grip of illusion.He uses a lovely metaphor: Life is like a dramatic play where we’ve become so engrossed in our roles (personality, job titles, social identities) that we’ve forgotten it’s just a play. The final step is like an actor suddenly remembering, “Oh! I’m not really the character; I’m something far greater.” To awaken is to step off the stage of these false identities and recognize you have always been at home in God. It’s not that you literally go somewhere else – it’s an internal shift of perspective. You shed the costume of separation and stand in the truth of unity.Twyman points out a subtle ego trap: The ego thinks enlightenment means changing into someone else – some perfect saintly version of you. It tricks you into striving and struggling to become enlightened, as if it’s a future achievement. But the truth is, you already are your authentic divine self; nothing needs “changing”. What needs to happen is un-learning all the false beliefs of separation. In fact, he says you need do nothing to be who you are, except let go of the illusions that say you’re anything less than a spark of God.The role of Divine Intervention or grace is highlighted. Taking the final step can feel like stepping off a cliff – the ego must relinquish control and trust God completely. Twyman assures that this step has already been carried out by God. In other words, God has already placed the truth of oneness in our hearts; we just need to agree to see it. It’s like we’re blindfolded and God already removed the blindfold – we just have to open our eyes. You realize you’ve “always been in your true home” with God. The separation was only ever a dream.Key realization: You cannot lose your connection to the Divine, no matter what. God’s love is unconditional and ever-present. The only thing that kept you from feeling it was the belief that you were separate from it. Now that you see through that, enlightenment is literally one choice away – the choice to accept that “I and the Father/Mother are One.” Twyman encourages embracing this truth gently. There’s no need to force anything; enlightenment unfolds naturally when we stop resisting it.The book’s conclusion is deeply empowering and comforting: Everything you’ve been seeking – love, safety, validation, purpose – is already within you, as part of your God-given essence. By allowing God (the “I AM”) to guide your life completely, you affirm your oneness and step into Heaven’s reality right here and now. This “final step” of the Moses Code isn’t an end at all, but a new beginning. Twyman says it “signifies the beginning of living out your divine purpose”. You start to live as an awakened soul in everyday life, bringing love, miracles, and purpose to everything you do. In essence, you’ve come full circle: from wondering how to use “I AM” to get what you want, to realizing “I AM” is what you are, and that is the greatest gift and miracle of all. You’ve been home all along, and now you can truly live from that sacred realization.
How to Apply The Moses Code in Your Life
By now, you’ve seen that The Moses Code is not just theory – it’s packed with practical spiritual exercises. To conclude, here’s how you can start using the Moses Code principles in your daily life (even if you’re entirely new to this). These beginner-friendly steps will help you tap into the “I AM” power for personal transformation and compassionate living:
- 1. Begin an “I AM” Affirmation Practice: Each morning or whenever you set a goal, affirm your desire as already true. For example, instead of saying “I want to be healthy,” say “I AM healthy, I AM whole.” This aligns your mindset with the reality you wish to create. Write down a few key “I AM ___” statements and speak them with conviction. Remember, as Twyman showed with Moses, claiming “I AM that” attaches your intention to divine identity, making it a powerful manifestation tool. Consistency is key – the more you affirm and believe it, the more you will start to embody it.
- 2. Use Visualization with Gratitude: Take a page from Twyman’s exercises – dedicate a few minutes to visualize one of your important goals each day. See it in detail and feel the emotions of it being accomplished. While you hold that vision, silently chant “I AM THAT” in your mind, affirming that this reality is part of you now. Importantly, give thanks for it as if it’s already done. For instance, if you’re visualizing a new job, feel the excitement and say “Thank you, God, for this opportunity!” This thankful confidence signals faith. It tricks the ego out of doubt and reinforces your connection to the outcome. Over time, this practice trains your brain (and spirit) to attract the people, ideas, and circumstances to bridge the gap between your vision and reality.
- 3. Practice the Law of Giving and Receiving: To truly live the Moses Code, shift from a getting mindset to a giving mindset. Identify what you feel you lack, and find a way to give that to someone else. If you need encouragement, encourage another person today. If you seek financial help, give a small donation or gift to someone in need. It may sound paradoxical, but as the book emphasizes, giving is the secret to receiving. When you give selflessly, you affirm “I have enough, I am enough,” which places you in alignment with God’s abundant naturebookey.app. Not only will you feel happier and more connected, you’ll often find that what you gave returns to you in some form – sometimes multiplied. Start with small acts: share your time, lend a listening ear, or simply bless others silently with thoughts of “I AM that – I wish you well.” This will open your heart and invite an energetic flow of prosperity and love into your life.
- 4. Meditate on Oneness (“I Am You” Technique): Incorporate a short oneness meditation into your routine. For example, when you meet people or even when you’re people-watching, practice the Claiming Oneness exercise from Chapter 12. In your mind, pick someone and say, “I AM that person, I Am.” Recognize that at the soul level, you and the other are truly one. Breathe deeply and imagine God’s light in you reaching out and merging with the light in them. This can be done quietly anywhere – on the bus, in line at the store, or at home thinking of a loved one. This practice dissolves feelings of isolation and builds deep compassion. You’ll start seeing the divine in every person (including yourself). Over time, it can heal relationships and even subtle prejudices, because it’s hard to judge someone harshly once you empathize that you are them. This is a direct way to “see as God sees” – viewing others through the lens of love and unity.
- 5. Use Sacred Sound or Music to Amplify Your Practice: Twyman’s Moses Code isn’t just philosophy – it also embraces sacred sound. In fact, in the book’s appendix he collaborates with sound healer Jonathan Goldman to reveal specific musical frequencies tied to “I AM THAT I AM.” They discovered through Kabbalistic numerology (gematria) that God’s name corresponds to certain healing frequencies. These tones, delivered via tuning forks and music, are designed to “unlock the power of the Moses Code” on a vibrational level. You can take advantage of this by using Moses Code meditations or music in your routine. For instance, there is a Moses Code Frequency Meditation audio available (by Twyman and Goldman) that plays two 20-minute tracks – one for deep meditation and one with gentle guitar for active meditation. These tracks literally broadcast the frequency of God’s Name to attune your mind and body to the “I AM” vibration. Even if you don’t have that recording, you can use your own voice as a tool: try toning or humming the sound “Ahh” (as in “I Am”) in a calm, elongated way. Many traditions consider “Ah” a sacred seed sound for creation. As you vocalize or listen to such sounds, set the intention that you are resonating with the divine within. This adds a powerful sensorial dimension to your Moses Code practice – engaging not just mind and heart, but the very cells of your body in the experience of oneness.
- 6. Live the “Give-Ask-Receive” Cycle Consciously: To summarize applying the Moses Code in life – adopt this simple cycle: Give, Ask (or Affirm), Receive. Giving (step 3 above) creates a mindset of abundance and aligns you with God’s giving nature. Then when you ask or affirm your desire (steps 1 and 2), do it from a place of wholeness (“I AM”), not lack. Finally, be ready to receive. Receiving might mean noticing opportunities that come your way or accepting help from others. It also means receiving intuitive guidance from within – those answers in your ongoing conversation with God. Twyman reminds us that miracles can happen “right now” when we apply the Moses Code with pure intent. So stay open! Some manifestations will be gradual, but some may pleasantly surprise you. Celebrate even the small synchronicities (e.g. meeting someone who has the exact advice or resource you need) – these are signs the Moses Code is working through you.
Finally, always remember the bigger picture: The Moses Code is about both personal manifestation and contributing to a world of compassion. As you practice saying “I AM” for your goals, also affirm “I AM an instrument of peace and love.” Twyman’s core message is that using God’s Name isn’t a gimmick to get stuff – it’s a call to become who you really are: a co-creator with the Divine. By applying these principles, you’ll not only transform your own life but also ripple positive change outward. Divine manifestation starts within each of us. Embrace your “I AM” presence, and watch how life responds. The more you give of your light, the more you’ll realize – to your delight – that you have been living in the Light of “I AM” all along. Now, with the Moses Code in hand, you can consciously create with that Light for the highest good of all.
FAQ on The Moses Code
What is The Moses Code by James F. Twyman about?
The Moses Code is a spiritual self-help book by James F. Twyman that reveals an “ancient manifestation code” based on the biblical phrase “I AM THAT I AM.” At its core, the book teaches that by identifying ourselves with the divine presence (“I AM”), we can attract our deepest desires into our lives. Twyman’s approach emphasizes using this power not just for personal gain but to enrich the world through compassion and selfless giving. It’s both a manifestation guide and a spiritual manual, aimed at helping readers co-create miracles while uplifting others.
How does The Moses Code relate to the Law of Attraction?
Twyman presents the Moses Code as a spiritually grounded form of the Law of Attraction. Instead of merely visualizing desires, readers affirm “I AM” statements as if their goal is already fulfilled. However, he warns against selfish manifesting and encourages ethical use — using your spiritual power to benefit the collective, not just the individual.
What does the phrase “I AM THAT I AM” mean in the context of The Moses Code?
In The Moses Code, “I AM THAT I AM” is interpreted as God revealing the divine name and unity with humanity. Twyman teaches that repeating “I AM” affirmations aligns you with God's power. You invoke creation by declaring yourself already in possession of your goal — such as “I AM love” or “I AM healed.”
Why does Twyman emphasize giving (or “Divine Selfishness”) in manifesting desires?
Twyman introduces “Divine Selfishness,” meaning that when you give freely, you are affirming your abundance. Giving unlocks receiving. The more selflessly you serve, the more open you become to blessings. He encourages acts of love, kindness, and generosity as tools for manifestation.
What exercises or techniques does The Moses Code teach to help manifest desires?
The Moses Code includes:
- “I AM That” Affirmation: Declare your desired reality with “I AM ___” to claim it.
- Visualization + Gratitude: Imagine your goal as fulfilled and feel gratitude for it now.
- Giving Affirmations: Affirm what you give to the world: “I AM peace,” “I AM compassion.”
- Prayer Alignment: Create a “belief vs truth” list to rewire doubt with God’s perspective.
- Oneness Meditation: Silently affirm “I AM that” while observing others to build unity.
These techniques reprogram identity and align you with divine manifestation.
What are the “two paths” mentioned in The Moses Code and what do they mean?
Twyman describes two paths: (1) Using the Moses Code to manifest personal desires; and (2) Using it for spiritual awakening and service. While both are valid, he encourages readers to take the second, deeper path — aligning with soul, purpose, and divine will — which leads to lasting peace and transformation.
According to The Moses Code, how do the ego and the soul differ?
- Ego: Operates from fear, separation, and lack; seeks validation through external things.
- Soul: Lives in love, unity, and abundance; trusts divine connection and lives to serve.
The Moses Code helps you shift from ego-driven desires to soul-aligned creation.
What does it mean to “see as God sees,” according to The Moses Code?
“Seeing as God sees” means perceiving through love and unity, not judgment or fear. Twyman teaches the use of “I AM that” to foster empathy, connection, and compassion. This shift in perception invites more miracles and strengthens your connection to the divine.
What is the “final step” of the Moses Code journey?
The final step is complete realization and surrender — knowing you are one with God. It’s not about getting more things, but about being fully present in divine unity. This awakening marks the end of ego-led striving and the beginning of true spiritual peace.
How can I apply The Moses Code principles in my daily life?
- Start your day with “I AM” affirmations.
- Visualize goals with gratitude.
- Give something each day to affirm abundance.
- Realign thoughts using prayer-based reframing.
- Meditate on unity and chant “I AM that I AM.”
- Use sacred music or sound vibration (e.g., Moses Code frequency).
Does The Moses Code include meditation or sacred sound techniques?
Yes. Twyman includes mantra-based breathwork using “I AM THAT I AM,” and recommends frequency-based meditation music developed with Jonathan Goldman. These practices amplify your vibrational alignment with divine identity.
How is The Moses Code different from other Law of Attraction or spiritual books?
- It centers on a sacred phrase: “I AM THAT I AM.”
- Emphasizes giving over getting: Manifestation is used to serve others.
- Deepens into soul awakening: Goes beyond material gain to spiritual union.
- Incorporates prayer and service: Aligns Law of Attraction with divine purpose.
This makes it a unique blend of mystical wisdom and practical manifestation guidance.
