The Aramaic Jesus: Unearthing a Native Middle Eastern Lineage of Mystics

Broadcast on June 27, 2023
With Neil Douglas-Klotz, PhD
Hosted by Taya Mâ Shere

Explore the hidden gospel of Yeshua, a Middle Eastern mystic, whose teaching and example — as seen through his native Aramaic language — reveal a wealth of wisdom and practice that address humanity’s challenges today. For more than 40 years, Neil Douglas-Klotz, PhD, has pioneered this work, and it's frequently referred to by other well-known authors internationally. Neil will share some “life lessons” and an experiential practice from his recent book Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus: The Secrets of Life and Death.

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • Jesus as an embodiment of Holy Wisdom (Hakima), a universal archetype leading to him being experienced as the cosmic Christ
  • Jesus as an ancient disruptor who challenged the religious and spiritual status quo of his time
  • A simple chant and breath meditation revealed by Jesus' teaching in Aramaic
The views expressed are specific to the author/speaker and may vary from the perspectives of The Shift Network's participants, staff, or other speakers.
