The body and the personality are experiences. Even experiencing itself is an experience, as is witnessing. There is no “experiencer,” and there is no witness. There is consciousness. The entity “I” is an experience. Consciousness is the underlying source of experience.

“I Am” is what is called “The Son of God” or the “Christ Consciousness” in the Christian tradition.

Picture this:

The guy says something along the lines of “I am—the son of god.” People hear it and associate that notion with the guy’s body and personality; the rest is history. His actual teaching was lost on the spot. We’ve had 2000 years of imagination about what Heaven is.
