The Self Realization Mantra

*** Please pronounce ‘thee’ correctly, with a long E sound. ***

The first 2 lines of the Self Realization Mantra were revealed to David Dreamwalker Diamondheart by spirit at 5 AM Arizona Time on Monday, February 26th, 2018. Before this divine revelation, he was in deep meditation focusing on the question “Who am I?” which was given to him by Ananta, a self realized being who lives in Green Valley, Arizona.

Ananta is a disciple of Baba Muktananda, Gurumayi and Ramesh Balsekar. David met Ananta shortly after moving to Tucson in April of 2016.

Ananta

During one of Ananta’s Satsangs (a spiritual discourse involving a short presentation or speech followed by Q&A), David shared that he was having difficulty meditating and asked Ananta to recommend a mantra or a focus for his meditation.  Ananta suggested that David contemplate the nature of his true self and focus on who he really is during meditation. “Who are you?” he asked.

David followed this suggestion by using the question “Who am I?” as a mantra, saying it over and over for 4 1/2 straight hours

and then he stopped and waited in silence for an answer.

Spirit gave him the answer in the form of the first 2 lines of the Self Realization Mantra.  Spirit moved on David, and as he spoke “I Am Thee Iself. I Am Thee Allself.” he heard the words “Iself” and “Allself” for the first time. David began chanting these first 2 lines of the Self Realization Mantra over and over and had a combined Iself/Allself awakening at around 2 PM on February 26th, 2018.

The answer to the question “Who am I?” only makes sense in relationship to the question “What am I?”  The answer to the question “What am I?” is consciousness.

Consciousness has 4 distinct aspects, and these four aspects are the answer to the question “Who am I?”  You are the Iself (unknown known), the Allself (known known), the Godself (known unknown), and the Noself (unknown unknown).

The Two Easy To See Aspects of the Self

What is the Iself?

In the context of this mantra, the Iself is the individual focal point of awareness – the unique perspective through which universal consciousness experiences itself as “you.” While the Iself HAS an ego, it is not the same as the egoic self. The ego is simply one of the structures that the Iself uses to navigate individual experience, along with your body, relationships, possessions, worldview, life story, and preferences. The ego operates as a fluid act of improvisation, constantly adapting, shifting, and reinventing itself based on circumstances, social contexts, and perceived needs. This is why your personality can feel different around family versus friends, or why your sense of self seems to evolve over time. The Iself, however, remains as the constant witnessing awareness throughout your entire life – the same ‘I’ that was aware when you were five years old is the same ‘I’ that’s aware right now, regardless of how much your ego-personality has changed. The Iself is the deeper individual awareness that witnesses and experiences all of these aspects of personal identity, but remains distinct from them. It is your essential individual nature – the specific way consciousness focuses itself to create your unique perspective, while transcending the limited identifications that the ego creates.

Many spiritual traditions and “new age” thinking state that this Iself is only an illusion, but the Self Realization Mantra takes a different approach. While the Iself is not separate from universal consciousness, it represents a real and valid focal point through which consciousness experiences individuality. During your incarnation on this planet, the Iself serves as the constant witnessing awareness through which you experience life. The Iself itself remains stable and unchanging – it’s the focal point of awareness that observes the ego’s fluid improvisations without being affected by them. The Iself is the unknown known aspect of consciousness, also known as the Somethingness. Somethingness is the fundamental quality of being a distinct, particular entity that exists as a separate form rather than pure void or undifferentiated unity. Itness is the fundamental quality of existing as a distinct, individuated focal point of consciousness – the essential “thisness” or “thatness” that makes the Iself a particular something rather than nothing or everything.

What is the Allself? 

In the context of this mantra, the Allself is the universal self or cosmic consciousness.  The Allself is the everywhere, the everywhen, the everything, and the everybody.  The Allself is the cosmic consciousness that is busy being everybody doing everything, including being “you.”  We are not separate from the universe within which we find ourselves.  We are all connected to each other, and we are all connected to the singular field of consciousness that permeates all of creation.  The Allself is eternal and unchanging.  The Allself is the known known aspect of consciousness, also known as the Everythingness. Everythingness is the vast multiplicity of all that exists – every person, object, experience, and phenomenon that makes up the infinite diversity of manifest reality. Fullness is the complete, undifferentiated wholeness of universal consciousness that contains and expresses itself as all possible experiences, forms, and manifestations simultaneously.

Another way to visualize the Allself.

For 460 days, these first 2 lines, “I Am Thee Iself. I Am Thee Allself.” were all that were revealed to David. The 3rd and 4th lines of this mantra, “I Am Thee Godself. I Am Thee Noself.” were revealed to him at 9 PM on Friday, May 31st, 2019. After 9 days of chanting the 4-line Self Realization Mantra for about 3 hours a day, David experienced his Godself and Noself awakenings on June 9th, 2019, around 4 PM.

The Two Hard To See Aspects of the Self

What is the Godself?

The Godself is the energy of the eternal or the divine.  The Godself is the power of creation.  The Godself is beyond comprehension and transcendent.  The Godself is the spark of creation that I am/we are. The Godself is the powers of manifestation and the flow of creativity.  It is the divine warm light that makes anything possible. The Godself is unconditional love in its most natural state. The Godself is the known unknown aspect of consciousness, also known as the Beyondness. Beyondness is the infinite expanse that lies outside the boundaries of all known experience, form, and understanding – the limitless divine realm that cannot be reached through conceptual knowledge or direct experience. Transcendence is the state of existing beyond and independent of all manifest forms, limitations, and conceptual boundaries – the divine awareness that surpasses yet encompasses all relative experience.

There is also a Godself Realization Mantra.

What is the Noself?

The Noself is the transcendent emptiness. It is akin to the void.  It has no sense of self at all and exists as pure potential.  It is the “canvas” upon which all of physicality is manifested.  All of us have experienced embodiment of the Noself.  Small children are born without a separate sense of self.  During early childhood, children start to develop a “self-concept,” the attributes, abilities, attitudes, and values that they believe define them. Between 18 and 30 months, children have developed their Categorical Self, which is a concrete way of viewing themselves in terms of “this or that” and “me and mine” labels. Before the development of a separate sense of self, small children lack subject/object orientation in relation to themselves, and this is why most people do not have any significant memories of themselves as a small child. The Noself awakening is the conscious return to this pre-Iself state of selflessness – coming back to where we started, but now with full awareness. 

The Noself is the unknown unknown aspect of consciousness, also known as the “great” Nothingness. Nothingness is the complete absence of all forms, concepts, experiences, and identifications – the pure void that exists before, during, and after all manifestation without being diminished or changed by what appears within it. Emptiness is the spacious openness that is completely free of all forms, concepts, and identifications – the fertile nothingness from which all manifestation arises and to which it returns.

The four aspects of the Self individually are nonsense, but in combination, they make perfect sense.

I Am Thee Iself – Materialistic Nonsense

I Am Thee Allself – Metaphysical Nonsense

I Am Thee Godself – Supernatural Nonsense

I Am Thee Noself  – Absolute Nonsense

Amness

Amness is the peak of self realization. Amness is pure beingness, not pure as opposed to impure, but beingness stripped of all characteristics. You can also think about Amness as the sourceless source of all that is. David Diamondheart first heard about Amness from this shirtless guru with coal black eyes in this video from 2020:

David didn’t know how Amness fit in with the Self Realization Mantra, but he knew it was important. He even created this Amness video in 2024:

On August 8th, 2025, David was chanting the word “Amness” over and over again at 3 AM when he suddenly experienced his Amness awakening. This was his final and most profound awakening. His perspective shifted from first person to a detached third-person perspective instantly. It was as if he had gone from being a character on the movie screen to sitting in the theater, but now he was also the theater and the projector and the screen. Three days later, on August 11th, 2025, at 10 PM, the final line of the Self Realization Mantra was revealed – “I Am Thee Amness.”

Amness is the source of the 4 aspects of Self. In other words, it’s all Amness, it always has been.

Please note: The Self is NOT a 4-way duality, it’s ALL one thing. It’s a 4-way polarity. A bar magnet has a north and a south pole, and yet, a bar magnet is one thing. Same idea here, but with 4 aspects to this polarity instead of 2.

Please Note: These are new words and this is a new mantra and a deeper understanding of these words will likely come over time.  David’s subjective interpretation of these words is not meant to be definitive or immutable.  These words may have a slightly different or expanded meaning for you.  Take from this mantra what you will.

How To Chant The Mantra:  The Self Realization Mantra can be spoken aloud (recommended as the vocalization adds more power to the practice) OR it can be recited quietly in your mind.  In many spiritual traditions, a mantra is chanted for a “round” of 108 chants on a daily basis.  Traditionally, malas, or garlands of prayer beads, come as a string of 108 beads (plus one for the “guru bead”).

Say this mantra as many or as few times as you like.  David’s experience is that the recitation of this mantra opens the heart chakra, brings a tremendous rush of energy into your body, and relaxes the mind.

The video below contains a 111-round chant of the Self Realization Mantra by the progenitor of the mantra, David Dreamwalker Diamondheart.

The Yin Yang as the Dance of Consciousness

Understanding Consciousness and Awareness

Before exploring this symbol, let’s revisit the subtle but important distinction between consciousness and awareness that underlies this entire framework:

Consciousness is the broader, all-encompassing field of existence – the fundamental canvas upon which all experiences are painted. It includes thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions, and even states of unconsciousness or deep sleep.

Awareness is the knowing quality within consciousness – the capacity to recognize or perceive what’s arising in the field of consciousness. It’s the focused attention or luminous knowing that can be present or absent within the broader field.

Think of consciousness as the ocean and awareness as the quality of light that can illuminate different depths and areas of that ocean.

The Yin Yang Symbol and the Self

The Yin Yang symbol is a beautiful visual representation of the Self and the interrelationship between the four aspects revealed in the Self Realization Mantra.

The Iself is a differentiated focal point of unconsciousness arising within consciousness.

The Allself is undifferentiated consciousness manifesting as a field of awareness.

The Godself is a differentiated focal point of consciousness arising within unconsciousness.

The Noself is undifferentiated unconsciousness manifesting as a field of unawareness.

The Iself and Godself represent the fundamental focal points out of which the relative experiences of duality and separation first emerge – the active and passive principles of manifestation and individuation.

The white yang area denotes the Allself – the radiant, interconnected web of universal consciousness. The black yin area symbolizes the Noself – the formless, fertile void from which all arises and returns.

Paradoxically, while the Noself is characterized by absolute emptiness, it is simultaneously the primordial womb that births all forms, including the vast expanse of the phenomenal Allself.

The centering dots of Iself and Godself within each swirl illustrate that individuation and divine presence coexist inseparably across all scales of manifestation.

The symbol reveals a beautiful truth: the Iself (black dot) and Noself (black field) are the same essential substance – individual consciousness and emptiness sharing the same mysterious nature. The Godself (white dot) and Allself (white field) are also the same substance – divine presence and universal awareness expressing the same luminous reality. What appears as opposites are actually intimate expressions of the same fundamental essence.

This image reflects the nondual understanding that there is only one unbroken reality expressing itself as a ceaseless flow between these polarities – from unity to multiplicity, from boundlessness to particularity.

The journey revealed is to allow identification with any single state or perspective to open into the dynamic mandala of consciousness ceaselessly modulating through all possible expressions and modes of being – while recognizing our true nature as the infinite potential embracing all forms within its mystery.

The Consciousness Field Map: A Dynamic Guide to Human Awareness

This consciousness field diagram maps the living territory of the focal point of human awareness as it naturally flows through different states of being during daily life. Rather than representing abstract spiritual concepts, it reveals the actual experiential landscapes our focal point of consciousness inhabits as we experience life.

The Self Realization Mantra, “I am thee Iself. I am thee Allself. I am thee Godself. I am thee Noself.” corresponds directly to the consciousness fields mapped in the diagram, providing a practical invocation for recognizing the universal Self through its various modes of experience.

The Foundation: Universal Self

At the center lies the **Self** – not individual personality, but the universal Self experiencing itself through all its manifestations. This is the fundamental awareness that appears as every conscious experience, the one consciousness knowing itself through infinite expressions.

The Four Primary Fields

The diagram shows four primary consciousness fields that intersect and overlap. The white dot visible in the Iself field represents the focal point of awareness itself – this is what moves and shifts through the various consciousness fields throughout our lived experience.

– **Iself** – Individual awareness

– **Allself** – Universal, collective consciousness

– **Godself** – Divine consciousness

– **Noself** – Transcendent Consciousness

The Numerical Intersections: Where Fields Converge

Sequential Pattern of Intersections

**111** – Everything except Noself: Godself + Allself + Iself converge

*Moments when divine presence, universal connection, and individual awareness unite while maintaining form and identity*

**222** – Allself Realized Iself: Universal consciousness recognizing individual awareness

*Feeling deeply connected to all life while maintaining clear individual awareness – compassionate service, universal love, community oneness*

**333** – Everything except Godself: Allself + Iself + Noself converge

*Universal consciousness, individual awareness, and ego dissolution meeting without the divine dimension*

**444** – Allself Realized Noself: Universal consciousness meeting dissolution

*Unity with everything while personal boundaries disappear – flow states in nature, complete interconnectedness*

**555** – Everything except Iself: Godself + Allself + Noself converge

*Divine, universal, and emptiness meeting without the individual awareness*

**666** – Godself Realized Noself: Divine consciousness meeting dissolution

*Touching the divine through complete surrender and letting go – deep contemplative states, mystical dissolution*

**777** – Everything except Allself: Godself + Iself + Noself converge

*Divine transcendence, individual awareness, and emptiness meeting without the collective/universal dimension*

**888** – Godself Realized Iself: Divine presence with individual awareness

*Moments of divine connection while maintaining clear individual consciousness – deep meditation, prayer, peak spiritual experiences*

The Central Unity: “1”

The center point represents those rare moments of complete integration where all consciousness fields converge simultaneously – the Self recognizing itself fully through every possible mode of awareness at once.

Living the Map

This isn’t a hierarchy to climb but a territory to inhabit. Throughout any given period, human awareness naturally cycles through these different fields. We might start the day in pure awareness (Iself), shift into universal compassion during interactions (222), touch divine presence in quiet moments (888), experience ego dissolution in flow states (444), and occasionally find ourselves in the complex convergences where multiple fields meet.

Each state offers unique gifts and perspectives. The map becomes a compass for consciousness – helping us recognize where we currently reside experientially and appreciate the natural rhythm of awareness as it explores every dimension of its infinite nature through the focal point we call human experience.

Rather than seeking permanent residence in any single field, this model reveals the beauty of consciousness in motion – the Self dancing through all its possible ways of knowing itself in the grand theater of individual human awareness.
