This post counts as both an inspiring mystic practice and a reminder of this wonderful event coming up next Wednesday.
From brother Murad Phil:
Out of You the astonishing fire, the birthing glory, the power and life to do, the song that beautifies all, from age to age it renews. Truly power to these statements—may they be the ground from which all my actions
grow. Sealed in trust and faith. Amen.
(Excerpt from Aramaic Lord’s Prayer)
Dear Dance Friends,
This coming Wednesday, December 11, 2019, 7:30 PM
We will be celebrating the beauty,
compassion, and wisdom of Jesus’ (or “Yeshua’s”) prayer in his own native
tongue, Aramaic, through a cycle of prayer, chant, sacred dance, and ritual. The entire evening will be dedicated to this remarkable prayer which unfolds in many layers rich with a multitude of meanings.
Year after year, this cycle of dance and chant in Aramaic has taken so many
of us on a sacred journey revealing vast vistas of the spiritual path. It is an experience of a spiritual path that is deeply grounded, Earth-based and pragmatic, yet sings with sublime beauty and transcendent exultation.
Please join us in celebrating this prayer from one of the greatest of spiritual masters!

Phil Murad

* O Birther! Mother-Father of the Cosmos, the Breathing Life of all.*
* Help us to breathe each holy breath feeling only you.*
* Unite our “I can!” to yours, so that we walk as kings and queens with every creature. Prepare us for the marriage of power and beauty, that we may bring forth a new world of justice and peace.*
* Your one desire then acts with ours, Spirit and Nature united in Divine cooperation and passionate purpose.*
* Grant what we need each day in bread and understanding. Help us fulfill what lies within the circle of our lives each day. We ask no more and no less.*
* Don’t let surface things delude us. But break the hold of inner stagnation – free us to walk your path with joy.*
* Out of You the astonishing fire, the birthing glory, the power and life to do, the song that beautifies all, from age to age it renews.*
* Truly power to these statements—may they be the ground from which all my
actions grow. Sealed in trust and faith.*
* Amen.*
