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



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

“BE” attitudes of the Beatitudes.



A light bulb, the simple ordinary light bulb that we have in our homes, has the potential to radiate the light energy to illuminate a room. If the filament is in order and if the connections are made, and if the electric current is properly plugged in, the light bulb will have light—whether the bulb is big or little, round or square, yellow or white, and no matter how it has been used in the past. It will light, simply because it is, after all, a light bulb.
You can be healed, no matter who you are or what you have been or done, if you make the contact with the “same light that lighteth every man coming into the world"—simply because you are, after all, a child of God. It is as simple as that. And this is the key to the potential dynamics of Christianity. DISCOVER THE POWER WITHIN YOU~Eric Butterworth~1968

Grace of God.



When peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation, or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it ALWAYS comes with just one happy realization;“I need do nothing. ” To DO anything involves the body. And if you recognize you NEED do nothing, you have withdrawn the body’s value from your mind. To do nothing is to rest, and make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides. He will remain when you forget, and the body’s activities return to occupy your conscious mind.

The Kingdom of Heaven is for us on earth now.



Rocco A. Errico is an American minister and established the Noohra Foundation in 1970, an organization devoted to Aramaic Biblical research. Errico was a student of the late George M. Lamsa, a Biblical scholar born in Assyria to an Aramaic-speaking mother, who believed that the Peshitta, or Syriac (Aramaic) language version of the New Testament, came before the Greek New Testament rather than being a translation thereof, as most scholars are convinced.

Bible differences?

A friend attended a holistic university and said they'd been told you can't trust the bible, it's been fiddled with over the years.

Born again

“If a man is not born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
John 3:3

“Born again” in Northern Aramic” means to change one's thoughts and habits.

It's believed the Scriptures were conceived and inspired by the Holy Spirit to the Hebrew prophets who passed them on to the people in their days, using idioms, similes, parables and metaphors in order to convey their messages.

Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text
George M. Lamsa's translation from the Aramic of the Peshitta.

The term Peshitta means straight, simple, sincere and true, that is, the original.

Busting Loose ...

from the Money Game and
from the Business Game
both by Robert Scheinfeld
Substitute Holy Spirit for Expanded Self and it almost reads like a subset of ACIM. In any event it does tie Lynne McTaggart's book "The Field" in rather nicely.




George Lamas translated a version of the Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text. The Aramaic (the language of J) scriptures - called the Peshitta - remained virtually unchanged from the time the bible was assembled. As opposed to the western version from which the King James version was extracted.


For example Mathew 19:24 (King James): "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the the kingdom of God.
The Peshitta reads : Again I say unto you, It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Errors are attributed to mistranslations and the fact the western version went from Arabic to Greek to English and was subject to tinkering.


The Lord's Prayer
Our father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs from day to day.
And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven or offenders.
And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (means wrong, wickedness, error) For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen
Mathew 6:9-13

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs every day.
And forgive us our sins, for we have also forgiven all those have offended us. And do not let us enter into temptation; but deliver us from error. ( anything contrary to the truth; evil)
Luke 11:2-4


Another interesting thing is the names of places change.
Joseph of Arimthea becomes Joesph of Ramtha.
