Ezekiel 36
26 I will give you a new heart (earth) and a new mind (heaven). I will take away your stubborn heart of stone and give you an obedient heart.
obviously, only the infinite can know the absolute.
But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
revelation 6:13

unfortunately the power lies within the seeker and not in another place. the question might be defeated in the end in relationship to the absolute/eternal but to know thyself is the greatest than anyone can do.
3. Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty." - gospel of thomas

You're changing the subject. Which is fine. You're not talking about the name anymore, right? If so, I'll be happy to read and reply further. If not, please make the connection to the name.
but the name implies that i am, or i will be what i will. that literally is self

It's conjugated. Was, Will-be, and is. That's why it is often translated as The-Eternal.

Do you miss it?
father forgive them, they know not what they do.
no, i don't miss the cave but I'm still here with those who are still seeking. only to offer an escape, when and if they are ready. i've had many unknowingly that helped me. love is a very wonderful and strange thing.
So some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
All that I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
And all you folks, you come to see
You just to stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild, and my bones are steel
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free - song for zula - phosphorescent

Why don't you escape? If you know the way?
fools rush in where wise men fear to tread........................exodus 3:11
some flee from fires and others rush to it, like a moth to a flame. all things serve a purpose
matthew 11:30
could anyone leave those they love so easily?
i'm no longer lost but i'm lost without love

The fool doesn't know what to do when they get there. The fool doesn't even know where they're going. They have no map, they have no friends. The fool's journey is solitary. They're heading into unknown territory, intentionally lacking preparation, and intentionally lacking provisions to aid in their journeying.
Proverbs 2. Effort is needed. Passion? Absolutely. But it is not reckless abandon. The treasure hunter has a map. They're not digging foolishly.
True. Many are negative role-models. Following a moth into the fire? What's useful about that?
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
I have love. Plenty. Nearly infinite. And I am always willing to share it with you, Bro. If you need me. Send me message. You're not lost, now? Great. Anything can happen. Something unexpected occurs? I'll try to help, at least to lend a helping hand. OK?
... you just call out my name ...
there is the comparative of the hero's journey by joseph campbell.
and a fool has an infinite number of chances to try, try again because the lessons in life are learning from failing. like dr. strange when he meets dormammu.
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
To be acknowledged by some touch from his gnarled hands
You see the cage it called. I said, come on in
I will not open myself this way again. - song for zula - phophorescent
If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - the art of war - sun-tzu
as you've already mentioned you honestly don't know much except for self and how it's reflective in other as mirroring, if you know anything. the only absolute(singular) is that there are no absolutes(plurality)
love always triumps at the end of the finite because otherwise the universe would self-annihilate. a house divided against itself will fall. so those who are service to self will ultimately reach an impasse and have to retrace their tracks and struggle to become atone with love.
the beast can never triumph over the absolute simply because the beast is finite and a finite can't be victorious over an infinite.
