FROM THE INTRODUCTION “The challenges we face today are not, in essence, different from those of our ancestors: relationships, love, knowledge, work, and purpose still claim our main attention. Yet the implications of these challenges for the survival of humanity and the planet seem more acute. We seem to know more, yet our consciousness has evolved in such a way that makes it difficult to see what the purpose of life is. How do we live more fully in the moment, solving the problems before us? “Jesus’s teachings have been used historically to fuel modern Western culture, with all its pluses and minuses. At the same time, viewed through his native language, the same teachings solve our culture’s greatest challenges, pointing the way toward properly using our human individuality and will.” Through expansions of Aramaic’s multiple meanings and guided contemplations, Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus provides a guide to transformation through the way of the prophet of Nazareth. It shows how Jesus’s deepest teachings address contemporary challenges, such as our relationships with nature and each other and the purpose of life itself. Find out more at https://abwoon.org/
