AN ARAMAIC OUR FATHER


(Note that the Aramaic language carries several layers of meaning for words and expressions, so there are various possible translations. This one is considered one of the closest to what Jesus actually said and meant. All our modern languages have translated the Our Father from the Greek version which was, as we see below, quite far from the original meaning.)

Father-Mother, Source of all that is,
your vibrations radiate throughout the cosmos.


Make me a resonant space for your vibrations.
May your sphere of influence come.
May your heart's desire for unity and harmony 
penetrate every part of the universe, as it does on earth.


Give us what we need each day in bread and insight.
Loosen the cords of mistakes and sins that bind us,
as we release the strands we hold of others' guilt.


Let us not be deluded by surface things,
but free from what holds us back from our true purpose.
