This week, I sat at the feet of the Master Self, and was taught a new mantra which is breathed between the heart and the sphere of light (merkaba) encompassing the body. The Heart Breathing Mantra begins:

'Calm your mind, relax your body, and connect to yourself as pure, radiant, consciousness. Visualize, with feeling, the Present Moment Sphere encompassing your body. Breathe Present Moment Light, deeply into the sphere around your heart.

'Exhale the Light from your heart sphere, out through your body, radiating the energies into your Present Moment Sphere. Continue to breathe light energies, between the sphere around your heart, and your Present Moment Sphere, for as long as you choose.

'Allow the rhythm of breathing to carry you. Be the breathing, and feel the deeper energy of the mantra, as you continue to visualize the Present Moment Sphere. Now, add these words to your breathing, and feel them deeply.'

O, deep of consciousness.
I am, that I am.
It is, what it is.
Let my mind, remain still.
Let my heart, remain open.
Let my spirit, remain free!
Free to express, the source of all love.
Free to express, the source of all life.
With all my being, so let it be.​

The 'Heart Breathing Mantra' has been recorded as a YouTube video, and can also be downloaded as an audio file.

The phrases in the mantra, 'I am, that I am - It is, what It is' may be the closest that words can come to describing what is real and permanent.

Everything that exists is both 'I Am' and 'It Is'. The phrases also describe the relation between creator and creation. They cannot be separated.

When with my will, I keep felt focus on 'I Am - It Is', my mind rests in a state of being. It cannot agitate, resist, comment, judge, or be anxious.

The Void is both 'I Am' and 'It Is', a consciousness without distinction. In the process of distinction, the universes are born.

In the human mind, the illusion of separations within time and space, and between 'It Is' and 'I Am', begins with making judged distinctions.

Only in the here and now, in the field of Being, uncharged by judging thoughts and emotions, can the mind experience real rest, and no separation.

When 'I Am - It Is' are felt as one, the mind rests in Being, and the illusion of separation is negated.

The mind is conditioned to frolic in its playground and may resist resting in Being. The love of Being supplies motivation and grows stronger with determined practice and felt experience.

In the breathing mantra, the phrases:

Free to express, the source of all love.
Free to express, the source of all life.

describe 'why' I am, my reason for being here and purpose of life. The Present Moment Sphere in the breathing mantra describes a 'bubble of Now' encompassing the mind and body of the awakening human. With felt visualization the Sphere is created and can be breathed while focusing on the deeper energies of the mantra.

This week, in relation to the mantra, a new understanding came of Psalm 23, 'The Lord is My Shepherd' - which has been added in brackets to the Scripture below.

"The name Yahweh is likely connected to the Hebrew verbal root hwy or hwh meaning 'to be'. Hence, we get the meaning, 'the being who is self-existent.'"

​Psalm 23
World English Bible​

The Lord is My Shepherd
A Psalm by David
[Notations by Emanate Presence]

1 Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
['I Am that I Am' is the deep of consciousness,
the Lord I Am, the Greater Self:
all that is needed, I have.]

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
[My mind lies down in the field of Being.
I Am that I Am leads me beside the stillness of It Is what It Is.]

3 He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
[The deep of consciousness prevails when my mind rests in Being.
Then, my spirit is free to express the Source of all Life.]

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
[Though I walk through the chaos and pain of the world,
I know my permanence as I Am that I Am, and fear no threat.
The Present Moment Sphere, my present help in trouble,
is the rod and staff of my shepherd, the Greater Self.]

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
​[In the Present Moment Sphere, I have nothing to fear from enemies.
My Third Eye opens to the Christ energies,
which overflow and anoint my heart with elixir.
​(Heart Opening Meditation.)]

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh's house forever.
[With a mind at rest, a heart always open, and a spirit free
to express the Source of all love, I dwell in the Heavenly realm forever.]

Heart Breathing Mantra
O, deep of consciousness.
I am, that I am.
It is, what it is.
Let my mind, remain still.
Let my heart, remain open.
Let my spirit, remain free!
Free to express, the source of all love.
Free to express, the source of all life.
With all my being, so let it be.​
