The name of God associated with Keter (Crown) is Ehyeh (“I AM”) or Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (“I AM THAT I AM”). Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh has also been translated as “I am who I am,” “I am what I am” or “I will be what I will be.” To me Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh means: “I AM Being. I will reveal myself in the unfolding of events. For you cannot know me as pure Being; you can only know me as I make myself known to you through my actions.” Gikatilla says that Keter encompasses different kinds of mercy and compassion. God used the names “I AM” and “I AM THAT I AM” when he spoke to Moses out of the burning bush and gave him the commission to lead the Israelites to the promised land (see pp. 209–10). Gikatilla says that the people were not fit for redemption at that time, but God’s bountiful mercy saved them.”
“Gikatilla emphasizes that supplication and prayer, coupled with performing God’s commandments, “can open the gates of mercy and rip apart stern decrees and push aside a vast array of tribulation and punishment.”[413] When Malkhut receives the blessings that come from Ehyeh, “all heavenly and earthly creatures of the world are filled with rejoicing and tranquility, and the world will be filled with peace and friendship.”[414] Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (I AM THAT I AM) is more than a sacred name. It is an empowerment. It is a scientific formula. When you recite that name with faith and love, God releases his energy as a stupendous waterfall of light to heal mind, heart and soul.”
“To me “I AM THAT I AM” means simply but profoundly “as above, so below.” God is affirming, “I am here below that which I AM above.” When you say, “I AM THAT I AM,” you are affirming that God is where you are. In effect, you are saying: “As God is in heaven, so God is on earth within me. Right where I stand, God is. I am that ‘I AM.’” The names of God as Gikatilla describes them are keys for your mystic ascent up the Tree of Life, each one capable of opening another gate of light and another dimension of God’s vast consciousness. “We have given you ten keys for connecting [the sefirot],” writes Gikatilla at the conclusion of Gates of Light. “With them you can open many gates, sealed with many locks.”[415] Now that we have the keys in hand, let’s explore how the creative power of sound can enhance our work with God’s names.”

(Keter/Crown)
“In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown [Keter] of glory and for a diadem of beauty unto the residue of his people.” “Thou shalt also be a crown [Keter] of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.” “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies.”[434] Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, I AM THAT I AM, let the gates of the realm of mercy be opened! Rescue me from pride, arrogance and egotism. Instill in me Keter’s thirteen attributes of mercy and the chief attribute of humility, which is the cornerstone of the spiritual path. With my head, let me be humble and praise the good in all. With my mind, let me think the thoughts of God. With my forehead, let me soothe all with goodwill. Let my ears be open only to hear good. Let my eyes be alert to the suffering of others. Let me transform all anger into the peace of resolution. Let me face all with a joyful and friendly countenance. Let me speak well of everyone.”
“Let the Divine Will become my will: Thou the All; I the nothing. Beloved I AM Presence, the personal presence of I AM THAT I AM within me, walk and talk with me every hour of every day. Seal your white light around me. Guide each of my steps that I might not stray off course in fulfilling my unique mission in life. Ein Sof, direct your light through Keter to fill the world with rejoicing and friendship and to establish an era of peace. Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, infill me with your Holy Spirit. Let me transcend myself many times over until I am wholly filled with thy presence. [Here insert your personal prayer to Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh.]”
