Because breath has no form as such, it has since ancient times been equated with spirit - the formless one Life. "God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living creature." The German word for breathing - atmen - is derived from the ancient Indian (Sanskrit) word Atman, meaning the indwelling divine spirit or God within. (Eckhart Tolle: A New Earth)
