Lord's Prayer in Aramaic (translated)

Oh you, breathing life in all, origin of the gleaming sound,
You shine in us and around us, even the darkness glows
when we remember.

Help us to draw a holy breath, in which we feel only you
and your sound ring in us and purify us.

May your counsel rule our lives and make our intentions
clear for the common creation.

May the burning wish of your heart unify heaven
and earth through our harmony.

Grant us daily the bread and insight that we need:
What is necessary for the call of growing life.

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 come the all-effective will,
the living strength to act, and the song that beautifies
everything and which renews itself form 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

~Lord's prayer in Aramaic

Radical Action

This is how the process should work, your intuition
should guide you into forming a right intention, you
should take note of that intention and your physical
and emotional bodies should translate that intention
into the appropriate action.

This is the only way to ensure that your intention is
the right one in the first place and that the subsequent
action is the correct one to follow that intention. Otherwise,
life may carry you off on a journey that you are not too keen
on traversing. Life only flows as it should when we intend
and act as we should.

The best thing you can ever do is to implicitly trust your
intuition, one hundred percent. If you can do this, you
will not need to spend all your time intending because
you will automatically do what you need to do, without
any questions. It will happen naturally, as the Universe
commands, you will follow the Universe's lead.

When you trust and follow your intuition, everything
you need to do in life becomes instinctive, like taking
a step, or taking a breath or blinking an eye. You do
not think or mull over it for hours, you do not pine
and whine for it, you just do it. Your intentions and
actions become one, without any hesitation. You think
as you should and do as you should and your life flows
exactly as it should."

Seeds of Trees

"It's common to say that trees come from seeds. But how can
a tiny seed create a huge tree? Seeds do not contain the
resources needed to grow a tree. These must come from
the medium or environment within which the tree grows.

But the seed does provide something that is crucial : a place
where the whole of the tree starts to form. As resources
such as water and nutrients are drawn in, the seed organizes
the process that generates growth. In a sense, the seed is
a gateway through which the future possibility of the living
tree emerges."
