The original Lord's Prayer translated from Aramaic

O breathing life of all existence, you who dwell in the dimension of light and vibration from which all things emerge,

May the sacred vibration through which you organize reality be recognized and honored in everything we do.

May the sacred queendom — the divine feminine creative principle — fully express itself in earthly reality as it does in the dimension of light.

May your loving desire for the full expression of divine consciousness be realized in earthly reality as fully as it is in the dimension of light.

Provide us today with the nourishment — physical, emotional, and spiritual — that we genuinely need for our full flourishing.

Release us from the energetic knots we have accumulated as we release others from the grip of our resentment toward them.

Do not let us become lost in the illusion of separation from you, but free us from the immature consciousness that arises from that forgetting.

For the divine feminine creative principle, the power of life, and the radiance of all existence belong to you through all cycles of time. So be it — grounded in me, expressed through me, made real in the world through my conscious participation.

Many thanks to Libby for posting!

...when I was a little girl was me asking her if we couldn't please say "Ah, ladies," at the end of bedtime prayers instead of "Ah, men" all the time. I was about 8.

I challenged the sociopolitical control mechanism referred to as Catholocism every step of the way from age 6 on. Yup, my ass was always in hot water, but I never waivered.

I'm reading Julua Cameron's The Artist's Way, a 12-week creative recovery program.

Lots of used copies online cheap & any library should have it.

Enjoy!

"O breathing life of all existence...."

The Bible uses breathing as a prerequisite for life in many obvious places. It makes me wonder if the "Life begins at conception" crowd has ever actually read the Bible.
