“Using Jesus native Aramaic language allows us to connect directly to his feeling, to his atmosphere and to his sound. In the ancient mysticism of the Middle East, the easiest way to connect with the Spirit, or you could say the spirituality, of a prophet or of a saint or mystic was to breathe as they were breathing, to get into rhythm with them, to walk in their footsteps, or to intone sound as they were intoning it. And to feel one's breath connection, one's sound connection, with that prophet or with that mystic. Jesus teaches in the same way.”
~ “I Am” The Secret Teachings of the Aramaic Jesus by Neil Douglas-Klotz

beyond ourselves
We are down to the next to last phrase of the Lord’s Prayer, which is the one about temptation and evil, so easy stuff to describe. Here’s what I had to say. _____________________ When you watch a series on television, whether on a network or one of the streaming services, the episode often begins with a recap—“Previously on . . . whatever the show is—and then it goes on to the new stuff.

Reading The Bible Critically
Tumblr media
One of my seminary professors told us about a time when he guest-preached at a small, rural church as a favor for a friend.  
When he read the Scripture for his sermon, he used his Greek New Testament, which he translated directly from the original Greek. 
After the service, he was approached by several of the agitated church elders.  
"What version of the Bible were you reading from?" they angrily demanded.  "We only use the King James Version of the Bible in our church!" 
He patiently showed them his New Testament and explained that he translated it from the original language on the fly, but they were not mollified.  
One of them said, "If you ever preach here again, make sure you use the right interpretation."  
Of course, this begs the question, "What is the right interpretation of the Bible?"
I don't have the space in a Daily Devo to address that question entirely, but suffice it to say that whichever interpretation is closest to the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages from the original manuscripts is a safe bet. The problem with interpretations, in general, is that they are interpretations.  People are making editorial decisions about which variations in the ancient manuscripts (none of which are original, by the way) and codices that have been discovered to use as sources.  Then, there is the problem of Aramaic, which is the language that Jesus and his disciples would have spoken to each other.   For example, to better understand what Jesus may have said when he gave the disciples the Lord's Prayer, you would need to translate the Greek text into Aramaic and then back into English.   Biblical scholar Neil Douglas-Klotz did just that; see the result below.  The bold print is the traditional words, and the italicized are the words translated from Aramaic: 
As you can see, language matters.  The translation from Aramaic is full of nuances and an expanded understanding of the words that Jesus would have spoken to his disciples when they said to him, "Teach us to pray."  
So, why am I sharing all of this in a Devo?  
There are far too many Christians in our culture today who are fond of starting conversations about faith with the words, "The Bible says..."  Sadly, most of them never really read the Bible for all it's worth. 
If you want a translation of the Bible closest to the original Greek and Hebrew, get a copy of the New Revised Standard Bible.  There are editions of the NRSV that also have study guides. 
And if you want to read some great books on how to read the Bible critically, check out these: 
Peter Enns: "How The Bible Actually Works," and "The Bible Tells Me So"
Rob Bell: "What is the Bible?"
Rachel Held Evans: "Inspired" 
Various Authors: "The Bible And The Believer: How to Read The Bible Critically and Religiously" 
Marcus Borg: "Reading The Bible Again For the First Time" 
If you want a conversation partner in your journey or have questions about where to find more resources, feel free to contact me.  
May you discover more about the Bible than you ever knew, and may the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and always. Amen.

Picture showing connective tissues (fascia) between bundles of muscles.
* * * * *
"Previously we thought body movement was accomplished by a series of ratchets, levers, and pulleys. Lately, this machine model has begun to break down.Connective tissue is the ocean within us, and, in fact, contains the same basic proportions of elements, salts, and carbon compounds found in sea water...it becomes more fluid the more it is moved; the more sedentary, the more 'dried out' it becomes. We literally moisten ourselves and make more variations of movement and action possible.The water within us seems to have a sort of mind...The new model sees the body water itself shaping us. That is, we do not contain it like a bottle; it holds itself together like 'standing waves' and shapes our more solid structures around it."

Prayers of the cosmos : meditations on the Aramaic words of Jesus by Neil Douglas-Klotz
“Native peoples in the Middle East also had a rich language, culture, and spirituality for thousands of years before Jesus. His inspired use of many older sacred phrases, reaching back even beyond the Hebrew tradition, shows that a native mystical tradition did survive, probably in hiding or in the desert, both before and throughout the rise of orthodox Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Some schools of Sufism claim to be among the inheritors of this native Middle Eastern tradition, which precedes even the Egyptian mystery schools.
(...)
The effect of the "mystical" is not to mystify, but to return us to a better relationship with the cosmos, which is the heritage of all native traditions.
(...)
All the major contemporary traditions of the Middle East — Jewish, Christian, and Islamic —stem from the same source, the same earth, and probably the same language. All originally called God either El or Al, which means "That," "the One," or "that One which expresses itself uniquely through all things." From this root arises the sacred names Elat (Old Canaanite), Elohim (Hebrew), Allaha (Aramaic), and Allah (Arabic). If this simple fact became better known, I believe there would be much more tolerance and understanding among those who consciously or unconsciously perpetuate prejudice between what are essentially brother-sister traditions.”
~ Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz (Shaykh Saadi Shakur Chishti)

The Lord’s Prayer **
Oh, You, breathing life in all,
help us to draw a holy breath.
May Your counsel rule our lives
and make our intentions clear.
May the burning wish of Your heart
unify heaven and earth through our harmony.
Grant us, daily,
the bread and insight that we need.
Release the cords of the errors that bind us
as we let go of that
which binds us to the faults of others.
Do not let superficial things lead us astray
but instead free us
from that which holds us back.
From You comes
the all-effective will,
the living strength to act,
the song that beautifies everything,
and which renews itself from age to age.
True vitality to these testimonies!
May they be the ground
out of which all my actions grow.
Sealed in trust and faith.
Amen.
— by Neil Douglas-Klotz

,,Let us not be seduced by the surface of life, nor be so introverted and self-absorbed that we can no longer act simply and humanly at the right time.
Save us from hoarding false wealth and from the shame of not giving help at the right time. Let not superficial things mislead us, but free us from what is holding us back.’’
After Neil Douglas-Klotz, The Lord's Prayer p.65; credits to the site ,,gottimalltag.de/glaubens-gedanken/aramaeisches-vatermutterunser/“; translated from Aramaic to German to English

The Lord’s Prayer from the Aramaic
THE LORD'S PRAYER
translated directly from the original Aramaic by Neil Douglas-Klotz in Prayers of the Cosmos: Reflections on the Original Meaning of Jesus's Words
O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration,
Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.
Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission.
Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire. Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.
Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.
Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.
For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, power, and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again.
And so it is!
