Forgiveness is not, as Greek philosophy teaches, pardoning others.



In Aramaic, forgiveness is an internal, self-healing tool.

"Let us have the courage to recover our lives and do the unthinkable: Question everything."
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME . . . AGAIN?!
. . . and What You Can Do About It
By dr. michael ryce [1996]
 dr michael ryce is the founder and director of HeartLand
, a self-healing center in the Ozark mountains. In 2001 he was appointed director of the Khabouris Manuscript foundation and is currently editing translation work from the Manuscript and writing a new book based on the Khabouris, "The End Of Suffering, Resurrecting The Original Aramaic Y'Shua".

The Khabouris (also spelled Khaburis) Codex is a copy of the oldest known Eastern Canon of the New Testament in its native, and the original language of the Scriptures, Aramaic. The physical manuscript has been carbon-dated at approximately 1000 AD plus or minus 50 years. The colophon bears the seal and signature of the Bishop at the Church at Nineveh, then capital of the Assyrian Empire located today in the present-day Iraqi city of Mosul. According to colophon it is a copy of a text from approximately 164 AD.
In April of 1954, a manuscript of the New Testament in the Aramaic language was first shown to the public in America. Read more

An Interpretation From The Aramaic by dr. michael ryce

Our Eternal Creator, parent to us all, who is in the realms of the 
unmanifest, make a space in us for wholeness that we
may be taught to honor, worship and serve You.

Let Your counsel, Your wisdom and Your Love come alive in us,
let Your Light penetrate us . . . Attune us to and empower
us to conceive of and understand that Will which
You have already created for us. Teach us
so that we may give birth to Your fruit.

That You renew and feed us daily with the presence of Your Love, the 
Love of each other and the food we receive is a gift we
gratefully accept! Thank You for restoring us to abundance,
teaching us gratitude and how to give as you give and
presence Love as you are the Presence of Love,
for both the just and the unjust.

That You forgive from us those realities we have engaged in that
do us harm and do not belong in our humanness is another of Your
blessings we appreciate. . . we commit to responsibility and 
forgiving as to those painful realities others trigger in us.

When we are tempted or lost in materialism or fall out of
harmony with Your Love, that You are there with us -
Being the space of Love, that Your Love is always
Present no matter how far we fall - no matter
where we go, is a blessing we gratefully accept.

That, with your grace, You deliver us from our errors and 
through Your light part us from darkness is another
blessing that flows from Your Presence.
We receive each of these gifts with gratitude and praise.

Sealed in Trust, Faith and Truth, AMEN

The Aramaic language of Jesus is a right brain language. As such it is unlike our left brain language which attempts to capture literal meanings as though the actuality of a thing can be seized by words. Jesus tells us to pray, “In this way,” not, “say these words.” He specifically says, “Do not recite and repeat.” To recite and repeat means memorization, coming from the head, the intellect, which defeats the purpose of prayer. Jesus’ instructions were that we should instead, “understand with your (the) heart.’ The word prayer in Aramaic is to, “set a trap for.” meaning. “becoming the space for,” or “become in tune with.” We are, in effect, told there is only one prayer, the result of which produces the cause of everything needed. Jesus said, “Instead, seek before everything the Kingdom (the counsel, the wisdom, the Love) of God and its holiness (zadekoota) and all these shall be added unto you. Do not, therefore, worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will care for itself.” He was saying, in effect, “Become the space of Love first, for out of that, all that you want will come.” (Read the Notes on The Lord's Prayer)

EACH MOMENT
Each moment of Love,
Each moment of giving,
Each moment of joy,
Is a moment of living.
Each moment of anger,
Each moment of lying,
Each moment of fear,
Is a moment of dying.
All our moments add together,
Like the digits in a sum,
And the answer tells us plainly,
Whether life or death will come.
