Soham Soham Soham


I am, I am, I am

Havayah, Havayah, Havyah

Sanskrit, English, Hebrew

It all says the same thing

Being, Universe, Ultimate Realty

God

Soham, Soham, Soham

Sooooo... the sound of inhalation.

Hummmm... the sound of exhalation. 

Am, Am, Am

repeated, it quickly becomes

Ma, ma, ma

The first word spoken by a child

In any language 

>From any land

Mama, Eema, Mam, 妈妈, أمي

It’s all the same

Does the child really say “mother”?

Perhaps she says, “ I am.”

I am here, I am here, I am here. 

Here I am, here I am, here I am. 

Hineini

Connected to the universe. 

A part of being

Ultimate reality in me and me in it. 

Havayah, Havayah, Havayah

The ineffable name

Present tense of “to be.”

In a language that lacks that verb in that form. 

Not Adonai, or Lord or even Eternal One

Just being 

Not Yahweh, or Jehovah or even Yahoo. 

Just ultimate presence.  Here.  Now. 

Better pronounced as breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out.   

Yud - inhale

Heh - exhale 

Vav - inhale

Heh - exhale 

Breathing in light 

Breathing out, as through a window. 

Soham, Soham, Soham

So

Ham

In

Out

Yud

Heh

Here

Now

Am

I

(Soham or Sohum (सो ऽहम् so 'ham or so 'Hum[1]) is a Hindu mantra, meaning "I am He/That" in Sanskrit.[2][3]

In Vedic philosophy it means identifying oneself with the universe or ultimate reality.[2]

The mantra is also inverted from so 'ham (the sandhi of saḥ + aham) to ham + sa.)
