Where is the Love? John 16:23-24 and Exodus 3:14: Missing the Authors' Intent

In all probability and likelihood God's words in Exodus 3:14 were Arabic, meaning not that He IS, but that He LOVES, that He is involved with us. I really cannot blame Ezra and all subsequent for not catching this. It is not like Moses had said, "and God said in Arabic, ‘ehyeh asher ehyeh’." By the time Ezra pinned the Old Testament from memory, the idea of Moses' experience in Midian being in the Arabic language among Arabs with an Arabic-speaking God was pretty much lost.

The same thing may have happened in the case of Jesus' words in John 16:23-24. Jesus spoke Aramaic, and his words were translated into Greek. Neil Douglas Klotz expands on the potential meanings of the ARAMAIC version of the words to much richer and fuller ideas than the Greek language conveys (Prayers of the Cosmos, pages 86-87; also noted in Braden's Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer, pages 166-167):

"All things that you ask straightly and directly from inside my name you shall be given. So far you have not done this. Ask without hidden motive and be surrounded by your answer. Be enveloped by what you desire, that your gladness be full."

The accusation has been made that portions of this prayer technique given by Jesus have been edited out of John 16:23-24 (from 15:40 in linked video). I think Jesus' heart of love just hasn't been heard or sensed, that the intent of the author has simply been missed due to hearing the wrong language. The Greek tells us to ask in His name. People believe He is telling us to ask in His authority. No, that is dominion. This is ASKING He who is Love. I believe Jesus is telling is to ask in His nature, to imagine with His LOVE. Knowing that God knows all our heart, for there is no separation of us from Him, we are to pray FROM what we desire, to feel enveloped in its manifestation of love, TO GIVE THANKS, PRAISE, GRATITUDE, AND ADORATION FOR IT. We go there in love to cause love, and there express love for there being love. This is a wholesome activity.

I am reminded that the Jews wanted Jesus in John 6 not because He worked the works of God, but because they wanted to be fed (verse 2ff). THAT'S asking with "hidden" ulterior motives. Why does that now remind me of LOA?

Neville Goddard taught causative imagining. The premise of causative imagining is that we can create our futures by imagining what we want with feeling, gratitude, and the absolute belief that what we wanted presently exists, that what we want is our present experience. We need to give our imagined end, the "manifestation" of our desire, "all the tones of reality," including that of love. It needs to be love in the real, present, established experience of what we desire--that it is already existing--with affection and gratitude. Many prayers may simply be conceptualization of the beloved desire become real and expressing, "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You," appreciatively to God.

"The great secret of prayer is thinking from, rather than thinking of" -- Neville Goddard.

This topic reminds me of the song, Where is the Love? Is that God speaking to us, wondering, "Where is YOUR love?"
