I am That

Product Information

Jehovah is different from the other two primary names, Elohimand Adonai. Jehovah is personal. It can apply to only one deity—the God of the Hebrew people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The revered Jewish sage and rabbi from the Middle Ages, Moses Maimonides, said with regard to this name, I am," thrice exclaimed the Báb, "I am, I am, the promised One! I am the One whose name you have for a thousand years invoked, at whose mention you have risen, whose advent you have longed to witness, and the hour of whose Revelation you have prayed God to hasten. Verily I say, it is incumbent upon the peoples of both the East and the West to obey My word and to pledge allegiance to My person." See also [ edit ] The phrase is originally found in the Upanishads, such as Verse 16 of the Isha Upanishad, which reads: The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever” ( Psalms 23:1-6). Nisargadatta Maharaj; Robert Powell (2006).

You will find your own way, as many others have before you. After all, this is the favorite book of many of the strangest people you will ever meet. In fact, there appear to be a significant number of people who do nothing, except read this book, and then accost strangers in cafés to tell them about it. If you are new to this way of thinking, and you wish to read I AM THAT, or are struggling to read it now, it would help tremendously to first read a friendly introduction to Advaita Vedanta. Nothing too ethereal, steer clear of the Neo-Advaitins for now, perhaps Arthur Osbourne's Ramana Maharshi and the Path of Self-Knowledge , or any basic text on the life and teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Sri Ramanasramam publishes a great number of useful books. Aim for something rooted in the life of a person, preferably someone long-dead, and not a rarefied philosophical summary.

The phrase has been used for thousands of years in many Eastern religions and meditation practices, but has recently gained popularity in the Western world as well, thanks to its simple structure and easy pronunciation. All too often, people become so consumed with desires that they forget to appreciate the simple pleasures found within their everyday routine – eating fresh food outdoors, taking deep breaths during morning strolls for some fresh air, etc.

The Lord revealed to Moses that even though He had established a relationship with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; revealed His power and might to them; and established an unconditional covenant with them, He had never revealed to them His special name. His purpose in revealing it to Moses was clear: he 430 years of Jewish separation from the land of promise was about to end. God wanted His people to know that He remembered the covenant He had made with their father Abraham. So He revealed to Moses His unique identity to assure the Israelites that He would bring them into the land of their inheritance. A possible explanation for the composition of the name Jehovah from the Hebrew might be yehi—he will be; hovi—being; hah yah—he was. 5 Jehovah might also be understood as an acronym using parts of the same Hebrew words, making Ye-hov-ah, a name that states, “I will be (future) because I am (present) because I was (past).” God…revealed to Moses His unique identity to assure the Israelites that He would bring them into the land of their inheritance. Interestingly, no one really knows how to pronounce this most important of God’s names. Because it was considered too holy to utter, down through the ages YHVH was vowel-pointed with the vowels for Adonai. Today almost all Jewish people automatically say “Adonai” whenever they see this name in the Sidur(Jewish prayer book) or Scriptures. Some will simply say “Ha-Shem,” which means “the name.” I am writing, but everything I write is a drop in the ocean. Like Manara, I feel only a part of me is expressing the pain I am going through, yet there are many left voiceless. I wish I could let out every emotion and experience and thought I have. I wish the walls could talk to share the fear we’re living in between them all night.
