Neil Douglas-Klotz, PhD – The Way of Aramaic Jesus

Regardless of what your upbringing, religion, or cultural traditions might have taught you about who Jesus was and what message he conveyed during his time on earth…

… can you imagine what it might have been like to live in his lifetime — before organized religion translated (and often misrepresented) his message? To actually sit before him and hear him speak?

Neil Douglas-Klotz, PhD, world-renowned scholar and researcher in Middle Eastern spirituality, wants to bring that experience to you!

What many people don’t know is that Jesus’ native tongue was an ancient Middle Eastern language known as Aramaic.

Neil has dedicated 40 years of pioneering work on the Aramaic words of Jesus, or Yeshua, as he was known in his native language.

What’s also unfamiliar to most, shares Neil, is that Jesus embodied a philosophy in which there was no separation between inner and outer worlds…

… little boundary between the self and other… where past, present, and future coexisted simultaneously… and the body, mind, and spirit were completely interconnected with nature and the unseen worlds.

It was a philosophy typical of ancient Middle Eastern culture, very much alive and integrated into the daily life of those who lived in Jesus’ time.

It was a time when people existed at one with the land and approached themselves, their community, and life itself from a compassionate, humane outlook. The actual Aramaic words Jesus spoke, Neil says, were reflective of this oneness mentality.

Jesus espoused a worldview that was dramatically different from the masculine, dominant, sometimes punitive, and close-minded one-God dogma that much of modern Christianity preaches.

In fact, Neil affirms, Jesus wasn’t asking people to have faith in him, but to have the same trust that he held in a greater sense of self and a much bigger universe that encompasses us all …

… a profound sense of unity that we can bring into the here and now.

Neil can guide you into the time of Jesus by leading you line-by-line to learn the Lord’s Prayer (Yeshua’s Prayer) in its original Aramaic.

In Neil’s eye-opening (and heart-opening) new 7-week live course, move through the seven steps of Yeshua’s Prayer — one line in each session — with chants, silent meditations, breathwork, and body movements…

… that will not only teach you the prayer, but will transport you into an embodied state where you can actually experience the way of life Jesus intended to illuminate and support.

This course is about much more than the translation of Jesus’ words — it’s about understanding the truth of his words and learning to trust your place in the universe.

Chanting the words of Yeshua’s Prayer in Aramaic and feeling their vibration through your whole being is a direct portal into Jesus’ way, says Neil — which you can experience through levels of consciousness that you may never have tapped before.

Understanding the prayer will enable you to release past trauma, old hurts, and internalized guilt, and assist you in letting go of the idea that you need to save your soul — so you’re free to walk your true path.

Gaining an understanding of Yeshua’s Prayer can lessen feelings of helplessness, isolation, and paralysis amidst the world’s challenges, and connect you to a source of empowerment that will guide you to actualize what you came into this world to do.

As you’ll discover, when you experience Jesus’ sayings and actions through his native language, you’ll find a hidden gospel — a stunning spiritual practice that has been obscured by hundreds of years of mistranslation and misunderstanding.

Jesus’ way of spirit and breath can come through in your own embodied experience.

And, if you’re among those who’ve been disillusioned (or even shamed) by organized religion, experiencing Jesus through Neil’s wisdom is bound to be a healing salve for your soul.

During this transformative course, you’ll:

• Experience Aramaic chants and meditations to feel the impact of the “Lord’s Prayer” (or Yeshua’s Prayer) and how it can transport you to a more loving, more humane way of being
• Get a glimpse into what it was like to hear Jesus speak during his lifetime, and experience the world through the lens intended — to reveal a deep spirituality and liberation that can transform your life
• Discover that by examining the worldview that existed in Jesus’ time — when humanity, nature, and the Divine were more interconnected — you feel grounded and centered amidst the changes happening around you
• Release the feelings of separation and alienation that our modern world can evoke by understanding your place and purpose in relation to Spirit, the whole of humanity, and nature
• Find trust in your larger self to expand your perspective and bring more joy into your life
• Learn the inner meaning of each word and line of Yeshua’s Prayer — breathed, spoken, chanted, and moved — and how this can connect you to your own source of guidance
• Find how the chanted words and meditations can be used for healing, protection, clearing, and the remembrance of your inner cosmic Christ
• Embody Yeshua’s way of teaching and enacting what human beings could be — and how to address our primary challenges along the way
• Participate in a variety of other short practices, attunements, and healing breaths that can help you remember who you really are on a daily basis — an infinite soul empowering a personal self
• Learn the true meaning of often-mistranslated words and concepts, such as “happiness,” “blessedness,” “kingdom,” “good,” “evil,” and “lead us not into temptation”
• And much more…

This program is NOT just for people associated with the Christian faith. It’s for ANYONE who wants to connect with Jesus and embody his true teachings — regardless of your religious tradition.

Neil will paint a picture of a three-dimensional, fully flesh-and-blood Jesus — a mystic and prophet who predicted the way human beings can evolve if humanity is to survive in the future.

Neil will offer you a way to navigate your life challenges, including love and relationships, lack of self-trust, trauma (yours and that of your ancestors), fears of the future, and an unclear purpose — so you can make the best choices as you move forward.

Discover a practical, embodied way of living and a spiritual practice that you can bring into your daily life, no matter the tradition (or lack of one) you feel part of.

Explore ways of bridging heaven and earth — merging your individual life with your community and opening yourself to receive the inspiration you need in every moment.

In The Way of Aramaic Jesus, Neil will guide you through the chants, meditations, breathwork, and movement you’ll need to learn Yeshua’s Prayer (the Lord’s Prayer) in its original Aramaic, so you can embody the compassionate, humane, and interconnected way of life that Jesus taught.
