Everyone knows The Lord’s Prayer….right? I doubt it. Let’s give it a go in it’s original context and see what Jesus was truly communicating. And see how close it is to what you think you know about prayer. (Just a clue, the entire western translation of the bible is about the same in misconstrued contexts. Enjoy….Learn…Abide.

Abwûn O cosmic Birther, from whom the breath of life comes, |
Lords Prayer, from the original Aramaic
Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in Prayers of the Cosmos
O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos
Focus your light within us – make it useful.
Create your reign of unity now-
through our fiery hearts and willing hands
Help us love beyond our ideals
and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.
Animate the earth within us: we then
feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.
Untangle the knots within
so that we can mend our hearts’ simple ties to each other.
Don’t let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.
Out of you, the astonishing fire,
Returning light and sound to the cosmos.
Amen.
The Prayer To Our Father
(in the original Aramaic)
Abwûn
“Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes,
d’bwaschmâja
who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.
Nethkâdasch schmach
May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.
Têtê malkuthach.
Your Heavenly Domain approaches.
Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d’bwaschmâja af b’arha.
Let Your will come true – in the universe (all that vibrates)
just as on earth (that is material and dense).
Hawvlân lachma d’sûnkanân jaomâna.
Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,
Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikâna
daf chnân schwoken l’chaijabên.
detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma)
like we let go the guilt of others.
Wela tachlân l’nesjuna
Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),
ela patzân min bischa.
but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.
Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l’ahlâm almîn.
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act,
the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.
Amên.
Sealed in trust, faith and truth.
(I confirm with my entire being)

Graig… The Lord’s Prayer was not SPOKEN in Greek. Yeheshua did not speak Greek… the WRITTEN Lords Prayer is a TRANSLATION not just by Greeks, but by Greek Minds so influenced by its own point of reference and Paradigm… later to be cycled through many points of reference / Paradigms

The Lord’s Prayer was originally written in Greek, not Aramaic. I’m also not certain this Aramaic translation of the Greek is very accurate.
