In a brief excerpt from a 2026 YouTube talk, Eckhart Tolle recounts an imagined conversation with God about the appropriate pronoun for the divine. He asks whether the common use of "he" is accurate, and the imagined response references the biblical encounter between Moses and God on the mountain, where God declares "I AM." Tolle interprets this as indicating that God's pronoun is "I," and extends the insight to himself, suggesting a shared identity with the divine self‑designation.
I had an imaginary conversation with God the other day, and I said, as you may know, humans have become very much concerned about their pronouns. We have been using the pronoun 'he' to talk of you. Do you agree with that, or what is your pronoun? And God said, in my imaginary conversation, God said, "I told Moses what my pronouns are." Because Moses in the Old Testament met God on the top of a mountain and he asked, "Who are you? What's your name?" And God said, "I am the I AM." So God's pronoun is "I." Mine also.
