The Law of Attraction Can Introduce You to the Truth

All you have to do is eliminate the Law of Attraction. Seriously. To practice the Law of Attraction you imagine having what you want. You visualize. You voice affirmations. You put yourself in the state you desire to be. You accept that you have it, that you ARE it. And you do all this to increase the frequency of your vibration to magnetically draw what you desire to you.

To find the truth, all you have to do is eliminate the God-denying deceit about your vibration magnetically drawing anything anywhere. What you have left is your mind or consciousness imagining your having what you desire, the feeling of the state desired attained. You are God who is Divine Intelligence and Power. This intelligence and power, the God you deny by worshiping vibrational magnetic attraction, ORCHESTRATES everything to what is persistently assumed by your imagining.

If your visualizing and affirming speeds up your mental vibes, cool. But it does not attract squat. When your imagining, visualizing, feeling and affirming works, you have found "him," God, to be your own wonderful human imagination. There is only one God, and everyone is part of the same God who is intelligence that is power, the imagining of the Source, the Ineffable Most High God. It really is. We and everything that exists -- spiritual and physical -- are the manifestation of the one God. I am not saying he ain't vibrating; I'm just saying that he, and we, are imagination. And the Law of Attraction is misleading BS.

The Anti-Christian Movie

Boy, am I excited about this: the anti-Christian movie! Victor Alexander has been trying for years to make a movie about Eashoa Msheekha (Jesus the Messiah) from the ancient Church of the East's view. No takers. So, how about a movie that goes the opposite way, that destroys the false Western Christian view? Anyone want to fund a movie that takes Western Christianity to task for all the heretical, unmitigated BS it has promulgated in lieu of the true Gospel?

I was surprised to find that Mr. Alexander even had an Indiegogo campaign going on. I accidentally found a link to http://www.v-a.com/movies/ on his Aramaic Bible site. I also accidentally found that he has a twitter site: https://twitter.com/BibleTweetin. Happy accidents.

Anyway, Alexander explains the movie he would make at http://www.v-a.com/movies/story-of-jesus-2016.html:

"I'll make a movie not reflecting on -- in fact, having nothing to do -- with Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists; but about the Christians who reject Jesus as the Manifestation of God in physical form ... and their fellow atheists and agnostics who believe the whole subject of Jesus is utter nonsense anyway -- there are a billion such Christians, and that is a big enough audience for me to go after.
"This is the Story of Jesus that I will make into a movie: What if Jesus had come today and encountered American Christians?"

Well, maybe not a billion in the United States, but encountering our Christians in their SUVs and mansion homes and seeing the pastor clowns they follow,  Jesus would probably break down crying and have to vomit.

If you wouldn't fund another Christian movie, how about supporting an anti-Christian movie? This one should get press. Even Western Christians would want to know, "Hey, what's wrong with me and my religion? Is there anything valid in this criticism?" They'd have to see it just to disprove it, if possible. And if not, maybe there will be change in the world.

 

The Second Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is Our Baptism in the Holy Spirit

It took me a long time to figure this out. Jesus Christ was "crucified" when he died of his self-lordship to become us. By that crucifixion he bought and saved us. So what is the crucifixion doing at the end of the Gospel?

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the New Testament is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. When he died to become us, Jesus became in us our inner man. As us he muddles around learning about God and discovering that God is in us. With resolve he says, "Let me go to Jerusalem to die there." In the New Testament Jesus goes alone, but now he is you. You go.

In your mind you stand before God. Your conscience stands trials and is found guilty. Your shame scourges you. "Not my will, but your will be done." You fully surrender yourself to God, and Christ gives you the power to die like he did. "To this I was destined"* (stated as "For this you destined me" in Alexander's Story of Jesus). Three days means your surrendering and dying of self-lordship is perfect and complete. "You" are fully released. In your dying, you are forgiven. It is ALL gone. You are imbued with joy unspeakable welling up in you. You are openly connected with Christ and he speaks in and through you. You rise out of your tomb. A new life. Forty days is your working this new life out. Thomas is your fear and doubt, Peter your faith and obedience.

All these years people have been thinking about Jesus dying on the cross to save them. It was supposed to be them getting baptized in the Holy Spirit and with power..

*The ancient Aramaic text per Victor Alexander (v-a.com/bible). Not the falsified "Why have you forsaken me?" of the Greek.

The High Calling of Your Human

The spirit of God is his consciousness. He put OF his spirit into every human. So we each are OF that one consciousness, made independent (so to speak) as an individual consciousness within THE consciousness. Each thinking unit -- the one having the consciousness -- is a 'consci' (con-she), and altogether those having the consciousnesses, 'conscii' (con-she-eye).

The human consci corresponds to the Ineffable, the Source of our over-consciousness, the spirit of God, which it is destined to become. Denying this is the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit who testifies of this truth. We stay in this sphere of "death," the forgetting of our being the consciousness of God, until we learn and accept that to which the Holy Spirit testifies


Neville Goddard told the story (http://realneville.com/txt/the_father.htm) of how he was meditating, just watching the light within, when he saw in his mind a rock, "just an ordinary, ordinary rock. A rough quartz." The rock fragmented into numberless pieces, which then reassembled into the figure of a man seated in the lotus posture. It was Neville, but perfect, and meditating him. It was not the imagination that fragmented, but the Imaginer.

Picturing the Invisible

In my experience, the meditation that works is picturing the invisible. I think this is what most people are doing when they get healed or move into visions. It is not hard to do. Many things we know are real and truly present are invisible. We do not usually pay them any mind. Television and radio waves are ubiquitous, coursing through our bodies all the time. We cannot see the waves, but can you imagine each antenna's energy field as a mass that encompasses and passes right through you? Certainly.

The air in the atmosphere is another. We can blow it onto our arms and feel it . . . and not see a thing. Can you imagine that passing air as an object coming out of your lungs and flowing all around? I bet you can. And light. We don't see that. I mean, look at an object, and you do NOT see the light coursing between you and it even though it is the same light you see reflected off the object. Picture the light you do NOT see.

Besides the radio waves that pass through our bodies, there is another invisible light that is in us: the God in whom we move, breathe and have our being. That light is there because it is imagining that it is us. Just a little bit of the light has become our consciousness. If the light were an orange, our consciousness would be a segment that has forgotten that it even is an orange -- totally ignorant of the fact that we are the light. As that segment we are in a human we have annexed, and we think that we are him or her. We are, though, the light within. See your consciousness as a segment of light within you, and see the whole orange of light there, too.

The light within us that is God includes his power and his wisdom. These "two" are intelligence that is power, and it is doing an action. It is becoming Him. That is our destiny.

The light within is not just power and wisdom, it is the whole of God. All of his nature. The whole enchilada. This is the invisible field of which it is said, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow," and "If you wish, you can heal me." Now, here is the very important part: do not look the wrong way. Do not think, "Gee, here I am God, and now I can get everything I want." Think, "What, O God, do you want, for which You have done this . . . to become me?" If he has become us for us to become him, our prayer should not be for what we want but for what he wants. And he wants him fully manifest in us.

Emmet Fox wrote a short essay about a prayer called The Golden Key (http://www.emmetfox.net/ABOUT%20EMMET%20FOX.htm). The key was given as a way to get out of any trouble (I don't know why, but that is what Fox said). The Golden Key prayer is to mentally rehearse "anything and everything that you know about God: God is Wisdom, Truth, inconceivable Love. God is present everywhere; has infinite power, knows everything," etc., etc. What you can imagine about God is the light that is within you: mercy, love, power, grace. Picturing the invisible, centered upon the nature or "Law" of God, is the prayer that works.

Do not worry about what you can get. Contemplate what you can BE, for the attributes of God's nature are your hidden and forgotten nature as the light. Be enveloped in it, surround yourself with it, make yourself one with it. Recall everything you know -- find out everything you can -- about God's love and mercy and strength, for these things are TRUE, REAL AND PRESENT. Imagine the love he has for you, that he has put up with your independent, rebellious shenanigans and your God-denying ignorance for all these thousands of years. And yet his light of intelligence that is power has remained in you, loving you, waiting for you to see his love, patience and glory. It is time to repent (put on the new mind) and picture the invisible that is within you and without you, because all is you in manifestation (Thank you, George Harrison).

Is Neville Goddard's Technique Involving the Heart Chakra in Prayer?

Gregg Braden notes that the heart itself is an electrical motor that transmits electro-magnetic waves. These waves communicate us to the universe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JMELyhuvws).

I should mention here that the physical level, including these electrical waves, is imagic (image + ic) of its spiritual corollary on a higher level: As below, so above.

God does not listen to our human languages; he looks upon our thoughts and the intents of our hearts listening to his spirit within us. His spirit does not use words; it is what it believes it is (just as the mustard seed has faith that it is a mustard). What we believe in our minds and emotions as one is what we "say" in our hearts. God, of course, is us, and for him to hear what is "said" by our spiritual heart is to create. Thus our world is created by our imagination.

Neville Goddard taught to create our futures by imagining what we want and by feeling, with absolute belief, that it is--that it presently exists "with all the tones of reality" in our present experience. This is what Braden is saying. It is also what the Bible originally said in the ancient Aramaic, per Neil Douglas Klotz (Prayers of the Cosmos pages 86-87, also noted in Braden's Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer pages 166-167). According to Klotz, John 16: 23-24 has been edited to remove the HOW to pray. The passage originally said:

"All things that you ask straightly and directly from inside my name (i.e., nature, which is God's imagining) you shall be given. Ask without hidden motive (i.e., do not be judgmental, but forgive the present with grace) and be surrounded by your answer. Be enveloped by what you desire, that your gladness be full. So far you have not done this" (parentheses mine).

I.e., be IN the situation you desire as if it were the true situation you are in as the transmission of your heart. The editors wanted to make sure we didn't get that, else what would we need a state government for? Just a thought.

Hearing Gregg Braden say that the heart is electrical reminded me of Electrical Christianity, a stance taken by L. Ron Gardner. Here is a book review which explains some of Gardner's concepts:
http://www.eewc.com/BookReviews/electrical-christianity/

Electrical Christianity: A Revolutionary Guide to Jesus’ Teachings and Spiritual Enlightenment. By L. Ron Gardner, Vernal Point Publishing, 2013. Reviewed by Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, Ph.D. 

"What I like most about Electrical Christianity is that Gardner provides cogent and clarifying analogies between electrical currents and Spirit-filled living, which he calls “Plugged-in Presence” or “Holy Communion.”  He defines the Eucharist as the act of connecting to our Divine Source (or Presence).  Gardner uses Ohm’s Law, the mathematical equation for an electrical circuit, to explain how we human beings can return to a state of universal connectedness and thus allow spiritual Light-energy to pour into us and through us.  Our bodymind is like an electric lamp, useless until it is connected to an electric outlet.  In order to save us from our primal “sin” of imagining ourselves estranged from God, we must be plugged into the socket (our Divine Source), after which we will be able to share light.  The Holy Spirit is the electrical current or amperage; Holy Communion (consciousness of unity; relational at-one-ment) is the electromotive force or voltage; and ego-resistance to the flow of the current corresponds to ohms.  The more we surrender or let go of our sense of being separate, the more freely the Holy Spirit can shine through us."


So our mind's thoughts and our emotions' feelings have to be joined as one in our hearts as its electrical current. And key in this is the Unconditional Love of the heart chakra. It is the above noted current in unconditional love.

By the way, electro-magnetic waves do not, as far as I know, attract like a magnet. You do not look out the window and see the things you want rolling up the street to your house. Your heart's transmission bespeaks what you believe is, and a conscious mind in the universe which is consciousness responds so that it becomes. There is a distinct Actor, and all of this is his action. What we desire is orchestrated into manifestation by a person, not attracted to us through the ethers. If this communication to God through the core of our spirit works, there is a Worker, not an impersonal force. Do not lose sight of the Dude with whom we have to do. May I suggest you go into your heart and say, "Hi."

"Neither do I put you down" (John 8: 11, Victor Alexander translation)

Everyone knows that the story in John chapter 8 about the woman taken in adultery does not belong there. The story is not about any woman taken in adultery. It is about Jesus' attitude: "Neither do I put you down," and it is perfectly placed.

In John chapter 7, Jesus, the Manifestation of the imagination, "rose and cried out, 'If anyone thirsts they can come to me and drink! Whoever believes in me, as the scriptures have proclaimed, rivers of the living waters shall gush from his body" (verses 37-38). Anyone. Everyone belongs to the club.

In the 1970s, I attended Jim Spillman's ministry at Omega Fellowship in Santa Ana, California. A group had left on tour of the Middle east, and someone mentioned that they had recently arrived in Egypt. I had just heard -- on the radio, TV or newspaper, I don't recall -- that there was some illness spreading around Egypt. I innocently and naively expressed concern, "I hope no one gets sick." One of the young ladies in the conversation rolled her eyes and walked away. I did not realize until now, forty years later, that I had put negativity on that tour. I had put it down.

We make negative comments, express negative opinions, criticize, reject, have negative reactions. This is reprobate. The imagination does not put us down, and we should not put each other down either. It is oppression of the others ascension. Each of us has desires which are the "woman" taken in adultery. Not human fornication, but ideas that are from our ignorance, ideas which have formed our lives. Can we thus thinking go to God, our imagination, and drink? Jesus answers, "I do not put you down."

To be more like God, eliminate negative reaction from your thoughts and opinions. God's thoughts are on the end: "And it was beautiful." Every moment on the way there is dross, in his eyes already passed and forgotten.

How far away is the Ineffable?

Less than zero inches.

"And he created all the human world from one blood, to inhabit over entire face of the earth, and He chose the seasons according to His commandments and consecrated the dwelling regions of humanity. So that they may love Allaha and be obedient, and from the [beginning of] creation they could find him, because He was never far from any of us. For through Him (his imagining) we live and function and exist, just as your wise men,* have said, 'Our nature is from Him (his imagining)'" (Acts 17: 26-28, Victor Alexander translation from the ancient Aramaic, v-a.com/bible, parentheses mine).

*17:28 Lit. Ar. idiomatic construction: "Like also people from your wise that with you.

 I think Paul was trying to say that we are in the imagining of the Ineffable and thus have its, and His, nature. The full expression of that nature is what we are developing into.

The Life Practiced

Neville said in Mental Diets that to hear as though you heard is to create. That is what God did to create the heavens and the earth: "And God SAID . . ." God does not have a mouth, of course; we imagined that we HEARD: "and there was (became) . . ."  I believe the structure behind this is the ineffable Source imagining the e'had (the multitude of the one God--us!) imagining Creation imagining that what it desires is real.

Is real. Living and practicing the Life is believing that the state desired exists, and the getting to it simply was. Again, that the experience of getting to the state desired WAS experienced, whatever it was; and whatever it was is of no concern now, for the state desired is held.

When Neville expressed his desire to go to Barbados, Abdullah told him, "You are IN Barbados." Neville was not going to Barbados; he was not experiencing the trip; Nevile was there. Abdullah told Neville to imagine walking the island's balmy dirt roads and lying in his bed in his father's house at night as though he were, while "physically" he was suffering the Great Depression in New York in November. Physical does not count for beans. "You cannot discuss how you are going to get to Barbados when you are already there!" Neville learned to be in Barbados and imagine New York and its autumn thousands of miles to the northwest. God took care of his getting there. THAT is living the life, practicing the life.

If you are a laborer and want to be a foreman, you would imagine being the foreman. Do not imagine being promoted! Imagine having been promoted. Do not imagine the getting to the experience you want, THAT experience you imagine as having been passed. THAT experience is God's to work out--does not matter a hill of beans to you: You are IN the experience you desired. But the getting there, that experience which was God's and did not matter a hill of beans to you, is sacred. THAT is YHWH--the action of His becoming. "When it works, you have found Him, and your own, wonderful, human imagination IS Him!"

For it to work, desire the end. There is a reason the Garden is at the beginning of Genesis. It is the end of the Plan of God, the fulfillment of the Promise. We are being reconciled in the end to the intention of the beginning. Desire that state. Think every good thing about God. How we get there is his doing. Abandon the getting to -- imagine being there past the experience of getting there. "You are IN Paradise," Abdullah says to you. This is our practice. And everything we need to imagine while awaiting the state desired, make an investment.


A Life Not Lived

The truth hurts. Forty years ago, in my imagination I saw Jesus being scourged and crucified for me. It broke me. Lying on his hamburger-like back he looked down his outstretched arm and said to me directly, "Come unto me." He spoke audibly into the hearing lobe of my brain where nerve impulses from the ears are converted into the sensation of sound being heard. I physically HEARD him speak, even though his voice did not enter through either of my ears.

I was amazed, for I was at the time a homeless bum living in a pickup truck--as pointless a person as you can imagine on an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. That Jesus could monitor my thoughts and had the power to make his voice manifest audibly in the nervous system of my brain was a significant miracle. I figured that if God would even speak to someone as insignificant as I, then he must have spoken to many other people. Certainly some had published what he said to them. I determined to search out what God said to others throughout history, starting with the Bible. I was after all a Christian, and it was about time I actually read the Bible. Besides, I had absolutely NO idea as to what Jesus meant by "Come unto me," or how I was to actually go to him in heaven in response to his command. How was I, a limited physical being, supposed to get up there?

Through some other pretty significant miracles I, without day one of college prep, found myself in the upper division seminary classes at Melodyland School of Theology in Anaheim, California. (The school made a mistake letting me and some others in, but as we had already started, they "grandfathered" us to allow us to finish and petition for a degree after taking the preliminary courses--backwards of the normal procedure. Boy, did I scramble to figure out how to write a term paper!) The most important thing I learned at Melodyland was how to read! I can scan most pointless tomes in short order now, but a significant text will slow me down to about four words a minute, if I am lucky. In some cases those minutes can become a day, a week, a month or a year. And while I am "Christian," I read Jewish and Muslim and Hindu and Buddhist and Chinese texts.

I am drawn to the mystical aspects of each religion. Mystical, because when Jesus stopped a demon from possessing me, it was mystical. When I cast my self-control out of myself and was baptized in the Holy Spirit, it was mystical. When I physically heard Jesus, it was mystical. And when my back was healed and my arm grew out, these also were mystical. The mystical aspect exists at the core of all religions. When I read Kabbalah or Gnostic works, or Zen and Confucian philosophies, these perspectives seem normal to me. The whole world is the image of a mystical, becoming God: an invisible No-thing transitioning Itself into Something--Itself in form. The form will be mystical. That is why I read and listen to so much Neville Goddard. He understood where I am coming from as a theologian, and he said it so much better.

So I was taken aback when Victor Alexander said that I was desperately trying to become a mystic. I was going to say that I already am, but I happened to read what Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya said: "A spirituality not practiced is a spirituality best left alone" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQ2-qBHPkY). Oops. Wait a minute. That is me. I have read and studied and analyzed much mystical information over the years, and I have some mystical experience in my background, but I have failed to practice what I preach, what I know is true. I can tell you all about a mystical life, but I have not necessarily lived one.

It is funny how when God is teaching you something, so many lessons come together from so many different places. Neville taught that Jesus was never a unique, individual human separate from us; that the Jesus Christ of the Gospel stories was a life never lived by a man other than us. I do not know that, but I do believe that Jesus Christ is the life of God in us that we are supposed to live. To live it, we have to PRACTICE it. Moses practiced it, the prophets practiced it, intercessors practice it, seers practice it, swamis practice it, Abdullah practiced it, Neville practiced it, and the message I get from the scriptures is that IT WORKS IF YOU PRACTICE IT. THAT is the key to Moses' success manual!

Is this not the meaning of YHWH? that His becoming works because he practices it? that his practice is the source of his transition? "YHWH" is that it works! This is how Adam's "rib" becomes Eve, the mother of all living. You do not get any "kids" without engaging in the practice of creating them: you can learn all about it, but you do not get squat until you DO it. This is what Mark was saying to the Jews of his day: "God reveals in the scriptures the Life in you that is Jesus Christ, but you are not LIVING it." Neville was so popular because he readily practiced "investing" imagination for his friends. He said to imagine to create the world we desire and our spiritual evolution in it. He was a doer of the spiritual practice of imagining. Which leads me to another thought, again related to Mark:

I was SEEING Jesus crucified for my sins in my imagination when he turned and audibly spoke to me. My Church History professor at Melodyland, the Rev. Robert Whittaker of Rosemead Presbyterian, said in class that he once was counseling a young man and had led him in his imagination to the foot of the cross where Jesus was crucified, and suddenly the man, looking up, shushed him: "Shush. He's talking!" When Jesus spoke to me, he said, "Come unto me." The imagining of him was how I had gotten there. What if "Mark" is a collection of MEDITATIONS to envision as a method of getting to Jesus? The "going" device. Just a thought.

Neville says in Mental Diets (http://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2014/06/mental-diets-text-improved-version-of.html, tenth paragraph) that to make an intense effort to hear as though you heard is to create. Is that what God did to create the heavens and the earth? "And God SAID . . ." I have news for you, bub, God does not have a mouth. He cannot "say," except to imagine that he HEARD. "And there was (became) . . ." Well, at least God knows how to live the life.

Thank you, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya: IT WORKS IF YOU PRACTICE IT.

Victor Alexander and the Maryah Controversy REVISITED

I will try to make this brief, as I have already discussed the matter in February, 2013 (http://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2013/02/victor-alexander-and-maryah-controversy.html).

The matter as I saw it then was that the Aramaic word 'maryah,' "lord/master," was used substitutionally for the original Hebrew words YHWH and adonai. There is a lot of emotion and sentimental "baggage" vested in the use of both maryah and YHWH, and people in both camps want their language recognized as the ORIGINAL language of the scriptures.

The facts regarding the LANGUAGE of the scriptures are difficult to sort out to any useful resolution. The original language was neither Hebrew nor Aramaic, but the ancient tongue from which both of these languages evolved (the source of many of the early scriptures were the myths of Babylonia and Egypt). While the scriptures themselves testify to their being written in great antiquity, the oldest form we have dates from the Babylonian captivity, about 400 BCE, and that might be stretching it.

My interest is the THEOLOGY convened in the scriptures, specifically the metaphysics of the ineffable Most High God; i.e., what really is. A convert to the mystical God-is-All frame of mind due to reading way too much Neville Goddard, I see all dimensions of the universe as the manifesting Image of the Ineffable, Its Imagination/Person, the very emanation by which we can know the unknowable. This theology is the technique of causation by imagination, and is the harbinger of our destiny to become the Ineffable as It becomes formed in and through us.

As I see it, the manifestation OF the Ineffable IS the Ineffable, and that manifestation has become us (or, at least, we are part of it). This bespeaks a oneness, THE oneness of God, and of our being God in that oneness. The Bible testifies to this oneness, but it has become awfully, awfully hard to read and to follow our part in it in the English translations of the Hebrew version of the scriptures. In my years of study I have found that the Hebrew version has been altered to mitigate and deny our oneness with God. I can overlook our misreading the scriptures due to our amnesia-induced ignorance, but it is hard to overlook outright changes to the sacred text made to deny and hide the truth from mankind.

Which brings me to Victor Alexander's translations from the ancient Aramaic scriptures. Mr. Alexander holds that his version is the original. I honestly do not know, for it is hard for me to see how the Hebrew YHWH could have become a substitute for maryah. Unless they were at some time so impressed by YHWH, "His Becoming," that they edited it in every place that His Becoming demonstrated his being Master, the Manifestation. Huh. That suddenly sounds quite plausible.

Anyway, I know now that maryah and YHWH mean master and His Becoming. And I know that the Hebrew scriptures have been falsified to an uncomfortable degree, and that my English Bible translations from them mislead as they induce me to misread them. Alexander's translations, on the other hand, emphasize the Milta, or Manifestation, and his Aramaic text has not been altered nearly as much the Hebrew (we can't see it, so we can't judge it apart from Alexander's translations). The Aramaic does seem more reliable. I still use my trusty KJV Companion Bible to look up verses and the words used in Strong's Concordance dictionaries, but now I have to compare them to Alexander's translations to see what they really mean. Well, what they really mean I have to figure out from what they actually say, which I get from Alexander and the dictionaries. If I were a Jew, I would read Alexander's translations, because I'd want to know what it really says.

Please read what Victor Alexander says about his translations yourself: http://www.v-a.com/bible/AAC/. No, he isn't paying me anything for plugging his books. This is just ministry to you. Here is his desire for a church of his readers from that site:

First Principles of the Ancient Aramaic Church

The Ancient Aramaic language (Leeshana Ateeqah) is the language Eashoa Msheekha spoke, and the Scriptures have been preserved intact only in this language.
The Scriptures have not been preserved in Hebrew or Aramaic; these are different languages that, albeit, evolved from the Leeshana Ateeqah, but they are not the same language anymore. There is one Leeshana Ateeqah. The other Aramaic languages are not the same language. All versions of Hebrew and Aramaic are not the same language. They have all evolved from the Leeshana Ateeqah.
The Leeshana Ateeqah, or Ancient Tongue, is the language of the authentic Scriptures. All other versions of the Scriptures are translations from the Leeshana Ateeqah.
The Leeshana Ateeqah was invented in Bet Nahrein (Mesopotamia). It was the language in which the Scriptures were originated.
The Leeshana Ateeqah was formalized in Nineveh, capital of Ashur. Its script emerged out of cuneiform. Its alphabet was based on the cuneiform symbols.
None of the languages of the world are the authentic language of the Scriptures. Greek and Latin are not the original languages of the Scriptures. All of the English language translations of the Bible have been made from the Greek and Latin versions.
The Ancient Aramaic language is called Ashurit in modern Hebrew. It is recognized as the original language of the Scriptures, in which all the prophets wrote. None of them wrote in Hebrew or Aramaic.
The only script of the Ancient Aramaic language that has preserved the Scriptures intact is that of the Ancient Church of the East. This is the Church that the Roman Emperor Constantine persecuted and drove into Mesopotamia and Persia.
The Ancient Church of the East however survived for centuries and was the biggest Church in Christendom for one thousand years. Now there is only a small remnant of this Church left in the world, and the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures have survived.
After the Roman Empire converted to Christianity, about a thousand years ago, the Roman Church adopted the Greek and Latin Bibles, which were plagiarized from the original scrolls of the Scriptures that were confiscated and collected by Constantine and others that followed him.
The Ancient Aramaic Scriptures are the only ones remaining intact from the times of Eashoa Msheekha and the Apostles. We know these are authentic because it can be proven linguistically that Eashoa Msheekha read from them in the synagogues of Judea.
The Ancient Aramaic Scriptures are reliable. They have been preserved by the Ancient Church of the East.
This translation project is based on the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures of the Ancient Church of the East. It is not based on the Hebrew or Aramaic of the Dead Sea Scrolls or any other archeological discoveries of any other scrolls claimed to have been preserved by other churches or individuals.
