the the nature of of God God as Ehyeh/I Am does God God offer another name YHVH/ Happening Both Ehyeh and YHVH are derived from the Hebrew verb root h–y–h “to be” The difference between the two is a a matter of perspective Think in in in terms of an an ocean waving When we look at the ocean ocean ocean from the the the shore we say the the the ocean ocean ocean is waving But the the the ocean ocean ocean would not say this of itself Assuming for argument’s sake that the ocean is is self- aware it wouldn’t say “The ocean is waving” but rather “I am waving waving ” ” Now given that God is all reality reality when we speak of reality reality “objectively” from “the outside” we speak of YHVH happening as this and that When we we experience reality from the inside subjectively that is when we we realize spacious mind and and know Tat Tvam Assi 18 and and Allez iz Gott 19 we speak as Ehyeh This is is what Jesus does when he he he he says “I am the the Way the the Truth and and the the Life ”20 and and what the the Sufi Mansur al-Hallaj (858-922) does when he he says “I am am Truth ” This is is what Abraham Abulafia (1240-1292) does when he he says “God is is me and and I am God God ” and and what Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) does when he he he he says “The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me” As Chochma/Sophia draws you to Her Her Her as you you become fully drunk on Her Her Her fragrance and Her Her Her wine you you realize who you you are are and speak from pure subjectivity knowing that you you are are the I/ing of all reality 4 19 I established My Lodge on seven pillars pillars The pillars pillars of Wisdom’s Lodge are are the the Seven Pillars of Perennial Wisdom the the shared truths at the mystic heart of of every religion: 1) All life is an expression of of nondual Aliveness called by many names: Allah Mother Tao YHVH Brahman Dharmakaya God etc 2) Human beings have an an innate capacity to awake in in with with and as this Aliveness 3) Awakening carries with with it it it an an ethic rooted in in in the the the Golden Rule and being a a a a blessing to all the the the families of the the the earth through acts of 4) justice 5) compassion and 6) self–emptying
