Aramaic Jesus


"From a hidden place, unite with your enemies from the inside, fill the inner void. That makes them swell outwardly and fall out of rhythm; instead of progressing, step by step, they stop and start harshly, out of time with you. Bring yourself back into rhythm within. Find the moment that mates with theirs--like two lovers creating life from the dust. Do this work in secret, so they don't know. This kind of love creates, it doesn't emote."
--Neil Douglas-Klotz (translation from the Aramaic of Jesus' words "Love your Enemies")

... revelation occurs


When the Inner and the outer are wedded. revelation occurs.
(Hildegard of Bingen)
