Mind is our manifested conciousness whereas I AM is our unmanifested witness. When techniques are used to suppress the mind. One can temporarily experience the nature of I AM, which is all pervading love, for all things. In deep meditation only the I AM can pass the gate to temple within (or atman) to bathe in the unmanifested waters.
That is why St francis of assisi said "What we are looking for is what is looking".
If you want explore the difference between both those natures a wonderful book called "The Mirror of Simple Souls", written by christian mystic Marguerite Porete, is one of the best.
Everything Swada said. I have to bounce from this thread. If your cup is full drink from it
