1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,639
You have said it your whole life since
2
00:00:02,639 --> 00:00:05,839
you were a child perhaps in churches, at
3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:08,720
funerals, before meals, in moments of
4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,480
desperation when nothing else would
5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,960
come.
6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,560
Our Father, who art in heaven, the words
7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,720
rolled off your tongue like water,
8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,480
familiar, safe, holy.
9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,160
But what if I told you that the prayer
10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,800
you were taught is incomplete? that the
11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,960
ending, you know, is not the ending
12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,279
Jesus spoke. That somewhere between the
13
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:33,360
upper room and the printed page, a line
14
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,960
was cut, not by accident, not by time,
15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,760
but by intention. You were given a
16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,160
fragment and told it was whole. A circle
17
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,160
with no closing, a breath with no
18
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,879
exhale. And tonight, you are going to
19
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:49,120
remember what was taken, not because I
20
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,960
am here to teach you, but because your
21
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,719
soul already knows. It is always known.
22
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:56,640
You have felt the absence every time you
23
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,960
said amen and something inside you
24
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,520
remained unfinished. Every time the
25
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,840
prayer ended and the silence felt too
26
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,920
soon, too empty, too far from God. That
27
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,400
feeling was not your fault. It was the
28
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,520
echo of what was erased. By the end of
29
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,439
this video, you will not just learn what
30
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,880
was removed. You will feel it return.
31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,040
You will speak it. And you will
32
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,560
understand why they could not let it
33
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,159
remain. This is not history. This is
34
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,240
remembrance.
35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,799
For 2,000 years, the Lord's Prayer has
36
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:32,960
been the most repeated prayer in human
37
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,159
history. Billions of voices across
38
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:38,400
continents and centuries, all speaking
39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,520
the same words. But here is what almost
40
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,759
no one knows. The version you were
41
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:47,439
taught was edited, trimmed, rearranged
42
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:49,280
to fit the needs of an institution that
43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,040
could not afford to let you remember who
44
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680
you really are.
45
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,520
The early church did not preserve the
46
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,479
teachings of Jesus. It curated them. It
47
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:00,320
decided which gospels you would read and
48
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,479
which you would never see. It determined
49
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:04,399
which words were safe and which were too
50
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:06,880
dangerous to survive.
51
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,280
And the Lord's prayer was no exception.
52
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,800
What you say today is not what the
53
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,800
disciples heard in that room. It is not
54
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,239
what the mystics whispered in the
55
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:16,640
deserts of Egypt. It is not what was
56
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,480
written in the earliest manuscripts
57
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,879
before the councils and the creeds.
58
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,440
something was removed and in its place
59
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,280
they gave you a word that closes the
60
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,200
door instead of opening it. Amen.
61
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,080
A word that means so be it. A word that
62
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,280
signals the end. But the original prayer
63
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,720
did not end. It returned. It spiraled
64
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,560
back into the heart of the one speaking
65
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,800
it. It completed a circuit between
66
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,440
heaven and earth, breath and spirit, the
67
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,599
father and the child. And that
68
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:49,920
completion was too much. Because if you
69
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,239
knew how the prayer truly ended, you
70
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:54,319
would know that the kingdom of God is
71
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,040
not a place you go when you die. It is a
72
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,080
state you enter when you remember.
73
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,720
So they cut the ending. They replace the
74
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,120
return with a closing. They turned a
75
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,959
living transmission into a religious
76
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:08,480
ritual.
77
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,400
And for 2,000 years, you have been
78
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,879
saying a prayer that stops just before
79
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:14,640
the awakening.
80
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,159
The question is not whether this
81
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:18,400
happened. The question is what was
82
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,200
removed and why?
83
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Let us go back to where it began.
84
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400
In 1945, in the desert sands of Nag
85
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440
Hamadi, Egypt, a collection of ancient
86
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,760
texts was discovered. Texts that had
87
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,159
been buried for over 16 centuries,
88
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:39,920
hidden by monks who knew the church was
89
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,400
coming to destroy them. Among those
90
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,319
texts were fragments of prayers,
91
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,720
teachings, sayings of Jesus that never
92
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,519
made it into the Bible, you know. And in
93
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:50,959
those fragments, scholars found
94
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:52,879
something extraordinary.
95
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,599
An older version of the Lord's Prayer.
96
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:57,840
Not the one you memorized, not the one
97
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640
in Matthew or Luke, but a version that
98
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,239
contained an ending the canonical
99
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:05,840
gospels do not include. In Aramaic, the
100
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,560
language Jesus spoke, the prayer did not
101
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,879
conclude with, "For thine is the kingdom
102
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,920
and the power and the glory forever."
103
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,599
That line, by the way, was added
104
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:17,919
centuries later.
105
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:19,759
It does not appear in the earliest Greek
106
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,160
manuscripts. It was inserted to give the
107
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,880
prayer a lurggical flourish, a closing
108
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,400
that felt grand enough for public
109
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040
worship. But the original ending was not
110
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,639
grand. It was intimate. It was breath.
111
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:34,240
In the fragments recovered from the
112
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,639
daid, one of the earliest Christian
113
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:38,320
teaching documents and in oral
114
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,919
traditions preserved by the desert
115
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:42,560
fathers, the prayer completed itself
116
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,800
with a return,
117
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,639
a line that brought the divine full
118
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,040
circle. For yours is the breath that
119
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,720
moves through all things and the light
120
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,600
that remembers itself in me. Not a
121
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240
declaration to a distant king, but a
122
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,880
recognition of union. The prayer did not
123
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,880
end by sending your attention outward to
124
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,680
a throne in the sky. It ended by drawing
125
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,600
the presence inward into your chest into
126
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,240
your breath into the awareness that the
127
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,039
father is not separate from you. He is
128
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:15,680
the living spirit that animates you. And
129
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,160
when you speak that final line, you do
130
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120
not close the prayer. You become it. The
131
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,039
breath that moves through all things is
132
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:24,880
the same breath moving through you right
133
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,919
now. The light that remembers itself in
134
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:30,320
me is the Christ consciousness awakening
135
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,039
inside your own awareness. This was not
136
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:36,160
metaphor. This was instruction. The
137
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,440
prayer was a technology,
138
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,600
a way to align your inner being with the
139
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,080
source of all being. And that is why it
140
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,720
was erased. Because the moment you
141
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,479
realize that the father's breath is your
142
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:51,280
breath, you no longer need a mediator.
143
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,120
You no longer need a priest to grant you
144
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,960
access. You no longer need an
145
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,479
institution to tell you that you are
146
00:05:56,479 --> 00:05:59,120
separated from God by sin and can only
147
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,360
return through their sacraments. The
148
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,319
prayer itself becomes the bridge and you
149
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,960
speaking it become the temple. So they
150
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,400
cut the line. They remove the return and
151
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,840
in its place they gave you amen. A word
152
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,360
that ends. A word that separates. A word
153
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,440
that keeps heaven distant and you
154
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,440
dependent.
155
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,039
The removal of the final line was not an
156
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:29,759
accident of translation. It was not lost
157
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:32,720
to time or damaged manuscripts. It was
158
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,280
an editorial decision
159
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,120
made during the formation of the early
160
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,960
Catholic Church when the teachings of
161
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,039
Jesus were being standardized for mass
162
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:42,800
consumption.
163
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,880
In the third and fourth centuries, after
164
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Constantine legalized Christianity and
165
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,039
the faith became the religion of the
166
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:51,440
Roman Empire, the church faced a
167
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,520
problem. The mystical teachings of
168
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,280
Jesus, the ones that spoke of inner
169
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:57,039
knowing and direct communion with God,
170
00:06:57,039 --> 00:06:59,199
were incompatible with the hierarchical
171
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:01,680
structure the church was building. If
172
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,520
every believer could access the father
173
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,520
directly through breath and prayer and
174
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,080
inner silence, then what need was there
175
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,039
for bishops, for priests, for the
176
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:13,280
institution itself?
177
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,599
And so slowly, carefully, the church
178
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:18,639
began to edit, not with malice perhaps,
179
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:22,000
but with the cold logic of control. They
180
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,759
kept the teachings that reinforced
181
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,000
obedience. They removed the teachings
182
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,560
that suggested you were already divine.
183
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,240
They preserved the parables that made
184
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,039
you feel dependent on grace. They buried
185
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:34,880
the sayings that reminded you that the
186
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,520
kingdom is within. The Lord's prayer was
187
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,440
no exception.
188
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,599
In its original form, the prayer was a
189
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:44,720
circuit. You called upon the father. You
190
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,960
aligned your will with his. You asked
191
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,919
for sustenance, forgiveness, protection.
192
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:52,880
And then in the final breath you
193
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,919
acknowledged the truth that the power
194
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:57,759
you were calling upon was not outside
195
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:00,319
you. It was the very force of life
196
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:02,879
moving through you. The breath, the
197
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:04,960
light, the consciousness that has always
198
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,080
been awake, even when you forgot. But if
199
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,319
that final line remained, the prayer
200
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:12,400
would do more than comfort. It would
201
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,199
activate. It would remind you. It would
202
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:16,879
return you to the awareness that you are
203
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:19,280
not a sinner begging for mercy. You are
204
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,280
a child of the living God, breathing his
205
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,680
breath, seeing through his eyes, made in
206
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,520
his image, not as a metaphor, but as a
207
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,479
fact. And that was too dangerous. So
208
00:08:28,479 --> 00:08:30,879
they ended the prayer with, "For thine
209
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:32,959
is the kingdom and the power and the
210
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:36,000
glory." A line that projects divinity
211
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,279
outward, that keeps God on a throne,
212
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:41,519
that ensures you remain small and he
213
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:44,399
remains distant. And then they sealed it
214
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:48,560
with amen. So be it. It is finished.
215
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,880
Do not look further. Do not breathe
216
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,800
deeper. Do not remember what you are.
217
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,959
The consequence of this eraser is not
218
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:00,800
theological. It is experiential.
219
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,880
For 2,000 years, Christians have ended
220
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,760
the Lord's prayer and felt a gap. A
221
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,320
silence that is not peace but absence
222
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,560
because the prayer was designed to
223
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,680
return you to the father, not just in
224
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,959
words, but in felt presence. And without
225
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:18,880
the final line, the return never
226
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,080
happens. You speak into the void. And
227
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,399
the void does not answer because the
228
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,600
answer was in the line they removed. The
229
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,839
answer was always in your breath. You
230
00:09:29,839 --> 00:09:32,720
can still feel the absence, can't you?
231
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,480
Every time you say the prayer, there is
232
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,959
a moment just after amen when something
233
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:40,480
in you waits, listening, hoping,
234
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,320
reaching for a presence that feels just
235
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,959
out of reach. That is not your failure.
236
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:47,440
That is the echo of what was taken. And
237
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,279
tonight you are going to reclaim it.
238
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:56,000
But here is the mystery. Even though the
239
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,360
line was removed from the written
240
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000
prayer, it did not disappear. It could
241
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,480
not because the teaching was not just in
242
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,120
the words. It was in the breath. In the
243
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,000
silence between the words, in the living
244
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,920
transmission passed from master to
245
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,040
student, mystic to seeker, in caves and
246
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,120
deserts and hidden communities where the
247
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,880
fire of the original teaching still
248
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,880
burned, the desert fathers knew. Those
249
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,880
early Christian mystics who fled into
250
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,040
the wastelands of Egypt and Syria in the
251
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,360
3rd and fourth centuries carried the
252
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,760
teaching with them. They did not pray
253
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,640
the Lord's prayer as a recitation.
254
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,959
They prayed it as a breath practice.
255
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:37,600
They would sit in silence for hours,
256
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,000
breathing in the presence of the father,
257
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,640
breathing out their false selves. And in
258
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,240
that space, the prayer became something
259
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,839
more than words. It became union. One
260
00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:51,040
desert father, Evagrias Ponticus, wrote,
261
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,279
"The one who prays without ceasing
262
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:56,320
breathes God, not metaphor,
263
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,480
instruction."
264
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,320
In the Gospel of Thomas, a text
265
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,760
discovered at Nagamadi, Jesus says, "If
266
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,519
you bring forth what is within you, what
267
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:08,160
you bring forth will save you." The
268
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,560
final line of the Lord's prayer was a
269
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,440
key to bringing forth what is within.
270
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,279
It reminded the speaker that the breath
271
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,160
of God is not something you ask for. It
272
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,959
is something you are already breathing.
273
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:22,800
The light of God is not something you
274
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,279
seek outside. It is the awareness
275
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:28,079
looking through your eyes right now.
276
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:30,880
In John 17, Jesus prays to the father
277
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,519
and says that they may be one as we are
278
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:35,279
one.
279
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,000
I in them and you in me that they may be
280
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,440
made perfect in one, not separate, not
281
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,600
distant, one, the same breath, the same
282
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,800
light, the same presence. And the final
283
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,800
line of the Lord's Prayer, the one that
284
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,120
was removed was the linguistic seal of
285
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,680
that union. Even the structure of the
286
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,079
prayer itself carries the code. It
287
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:01,120
begins in heaven. Our Father, who art in
288
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,240
heaven, it descends to earth. Give us
289
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,639
this day our daily bread, and it was
290
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:09,200
meant to return to spirit. For yours is
291
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,800
the breath that moves through all things
292
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,639
and the light that remembers itself in
293
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:15,680
me. A complete circuit, heaven to earth
294
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,079
to the awakened self. But without that
295
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:20,560
final line, the circuit remains open.
296
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:22,320
The prayer reaches down but does not
297
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,760
return. It asks but does not receive. It
298
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,639
speaks but does not remember. And that
299
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:30,480
is the tragedy.
300
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,240
Not that the line was removed from a
301
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,279
book, but that for 2,000 years seekers
302
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:37,120
have spoken this prayer and felt the
303
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,240
silence where the presence should be.
304
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,720
Pause for a moment. Close your eyes if
305
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,040
you are able.
306
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,320
Take a slow breath in.
307
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,800
And as you exhale, feel the movement of
308
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,240
air leaving your body.
309
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,880
That breath is not yours. It is the same
310
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,560
breath that moved over the waters in
311
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:03,120
Genesis. The same breath that Jesus
312
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,959
breathed into the disciples when he
313
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:07,920
said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." The
314
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,519
same breath you will take in the moment
315
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:12,800
you die and the moment you are born. It
316
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,440
is the breath of God. And it has never
317
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,760
stopped moving through you. Even if the
318
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,399
words were erased, the vibration
319
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:25,040
remained in your body, in your cells, in
320
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,959
the quiet knowing that you are more than
321
00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:30,000
what religion told you. The teaching
322
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,279
survived, not in libraries, but in you.
323
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,079
Now let us return to the prayer that you
324
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:43,519
know and let us decode it not as
325
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,720
theology but as technology as a map of
326
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,839
awakening hidden in plain sight.
327
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:53,120
Our father who art in heaven. In Aramaic
328
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,560
the word Jesus used for father is abun.
329
00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:58,480
It does not mean a paternal figure in
330
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,440
the sky. It means source of all breath.
331
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,399
The origin of life itself.
332
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:07,040
And the word for heaven, Schmaya, does
333
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,920
not mean a place above the clouds. It
334
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,519
means the dimension of light and
335
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:13,040
vibration,
336
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,440
the unseen reality that gives rise to
337
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,600
the scene.
338
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,760
So the opening line is not asking you to
339
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,920
look up. It is asking you to recognize
340
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,240
the source of your own breath, the
341
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,920
presence that is closer to you than your
342
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,399
thoughts.
343
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:30,720
Hallowed be thy name.
344
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,279
The word hallowed means to make whole,
345
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:35,120
to return something to its sacred
346
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,279
completeness.
347
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:39,920
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on
348
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,120
earth as it is in heaven. The kingdom is
349
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,079
not coming later. Jesus said in Luke
350
00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:49,040
17:21, "The kingdom of God is within
351
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,000
you, not will be, is right now."
352
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,839
And the will of the father is not a list
353
00:14:55,839 --> 00:14:58,399
of rules. It is the natural intelligence
354
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:00,800
of life itself.
355
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,240
When you align with it, you stop
356
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,320
struggling. You stop resisting. You
357
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,079
allow the same force that grows the
358
00:15:06,079 --> 00:15:08,560
trees and turns the planets to move
359
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680
through you. On earth as it is in heaven
360
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,040
means as above, so below. As in the
361
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,199
invisible, so in the visible. As in the
362
00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:20,160
breath, so in the body. This is the
363
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,240
teaching of embodiment.
364
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,199
Heaven is not somewhere else. It is here
365
00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:27,279
when you remember.
366
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,480
Give us this day our daily bread. In
367
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Aramaic, the word for bread is lack,
368
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,160
which also means understanding.
369
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,800
So this line is not just about food. It
370
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,360
is a request for spiritual nourishment,
371
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,079
for the insight you need today, not
372
00:15:44,079 --> 00:15:47,519
tomorrow, not in the afterlife.
373
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:49,279
Today,
374
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,519
give me what I need to stay awake, to
375
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:54,160
stay aligned, to remember who I am in
376
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,480
this moment.
377
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,880
and forgive us our trespasses as we
378
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,920
forgive those who trespass against us.
379
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,959
The word trespass in Aramaic is koba
380
00:16:04,959 --> 00:16:07,519
which means debt or entanglement. The
381
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:09,680
things that bind you to the past, the
382
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,519
resentments, the regrets, the stories
383
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,199
you keep telling about who hurt you and
384
00:16:13,199 --> 00:16:15,759
how you were wronged.
385
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,240
Forgiveness is not about being nice. It
386
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,720
is about cutting the cords, releasing
387
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120
the weight so that you can return to
388
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,480
presence. And the teaching is clear. You
389
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,320
cannot receive forgiveness while you are
390
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
withholding it because forgiveness is
391
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,240
not a transaction. It is a frequency.
392
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,240
And you cannot vibrate at the frequency
393
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,839
of freedom while you are gripping the
394
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:41,199
past. And lead us not into temptation
395
00:16:41,199 --> 00:16:43,839
but deliver us from evil.
396
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:46,320
Temptation in this context is not about
397
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,360
sin. It is about distraction. The pull
398
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,320
of the world to forget, to identify with
399
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,920
the body, the mind, the story, the fear.
400
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,120
And evil in Aramaic is bisha, which
401
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,040
means that which is unripe or out of
402
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,519
alignment, not a cosmic force of
403
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:06,160
darkness, but the confusion that comes
404
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,880
from forgetting the truth. So this line
405
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
is a prayer for clarity, for protection
406
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,360
from the voices in your head that tell
407
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,360
you that you are small, separate and
408
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:18,000
powerless, for deliverance into the
409
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,600
awareness that you are the light.
410
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,319
For thine is the kingdom and the power
411
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,760
and the glory forever. This line, as we
412
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,480
have said, was added later, but even in
413
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,120
its later form, it contains truth. The
414
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,280
kingdom is the father's. The power is
415
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,840
the fathers. The glory is the father's.
416
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,600
But if the father is the breath moving
417
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,840
through you, then the kingdom, the
418
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,039
power, and the glory are also yours. Not
419
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:47,280
because you own them, but because you
420
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,760
are the vessel through which they flow.
421
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,440
And that is where the prayer was meant
422
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320
to complete. Not in a declaration to a
423
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,480
distant God, but in a recognition of
424
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,679
union, a return to the source, a
425
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,200
remembering that you are not separate
426
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,120
from the presence you were calling upon.
427
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:04,640
And that brings us to the line that was
428
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,640
lost.
429
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,840
The final line of the Lord's Prayer, the
430
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,600
one that was erased, can be
431
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,640
reconstructed not through guesswork, but
432
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,799
through the fragments that survived,
433
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:20,400
through the oral traditions of the
434
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,960
mystics, through the Aramaic roots that
435
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,360
carry the original vibration, and
436
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:26,799
through the logic of the teaching
437
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:28,320
itself.
438
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,640
If the prayer is a circuit, it must
439
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,840
complete. If the prayer is a breath, it
440
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,559
must exhale. If the prayer is a
441
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,919
remembrance, it must return to the self.
442
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:43,039
And so the lost line is this.
443
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:45,440
For yours is the spirit and the light
444
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,559
forever breathing through me.
445
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,320
Let that settle for a moment. Read it
446
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,200
again. For yours is the spirit and the
447
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,799
light forever breathing through me. Not
448
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:05,840
out there, in here. Let us decode it for
449
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,880
yours is the spirit. The word for spirit
450
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,000
in Aramaic is ruka. It means breath,
451
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,720
wind, and life force. The animating
452
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,880
presence that moves through all things.
453
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,960
In Genesis, the spirit of God hovered
454
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,320
over the waters. In John, Jesus breathed
455
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,640
on the disciples and said, "Receive the
456
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,200
Holy Spirit." The spirit is not an
457
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520
abstract concept. It is the force of
458
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,160
life itself. And when you say for yours
459
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,320
is the spirit, you are not praising
460
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,559
something distant. You are recognizing
461
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:38,080
that the breath you are breathing right
462
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,120
now is not your own. It is the father's.
463
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:42,720
It is the same breath that has moved
464
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,320
through every living thing since the
465
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,679
beginning. And it is moving through you
466
00:19:47,679 --> 00:19:51,360
and the light. In Aramaic, light is
467
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,720
nahura. It is the same word used in John
468
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,480
1:4. In him was life and the life was
469
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,280
the light of men. Light in this teaching
470
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,559
is not physical. It is consciousness.
471
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,039
Awareness. The presence that sees
472
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,640
through your eyes and knows without
473
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,600
thinking. It is the Christ within the
474
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,320
divine spark. The part of you that has
475
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,919
never been born and will never die.
476
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,400
When you say and the light, you are not
477
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,880
referring to something outside. You are
478
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,480
naming the awareness that is reading
479
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,360
these words right now. That awareness is
480
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:33,039
not personal. It is universal. It is the
481
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:37,840
light of God recognizing itself in you
482
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,480
forever breathing through me. This is
483
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,600
the completion, the return. The prayer
484
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,600
does not end by sending your energy
485
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,400
outward. It ends by drawing the presence
486
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,360
inward by acknowledging that the spirit
487
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:54,000
and the light are not distant. They are
488
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,520
here now moving through your breath.
489
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,400
seeing through your awareness, living as
490
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,440
you. And when you speak this line,
491
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,080
something shifts. The prayer is no
492
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,760
longer a request. It is a recognition.
493
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,559
You are not asking God to come. You are
494
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:14,960
remembering that he never left. You are
495
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,280
not begging for the kingdom. You are
496
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,840
realizing it is already within you. You
497
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,120
are not waiting for the light to
498
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:23,440
descend. You are seeing that it is
499
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,840
already awake.
500
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,840
The prayer does not end with amen. It
501
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,080
ends with breath.
502
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,919
And in that breath, the separation
503
00:21:33,919 --> 00:21:37,120
dissolves. Heaven and earth are one. The
504
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:39,679
father and the child are one. The prayer
505
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:42,640
and the one praying are one. This is not
506
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,919
theology. This is experience. And this
507
00:21:45,919 --> 00:21:48,320
is what they could not allow. Because if
508
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,000
you knew that the spirit of God is your
509
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,919
breath, you would never feel powerless
510
00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:54,400
again. If you knew that the light of God
511
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,799
is your awareness, you would never
512
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,039
believe the lie that you are broken,
513
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,280
sinful, or separate, you would know
514
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,440
without question that you are the living
515
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,559
temple and the father has never stopped
516
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:09,760
dwelling in you. That is the lost line
517
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,039
and that is why it was removed.
518
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,799
And now the prayer returns not as a
519
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:20,960
relic of history but as a living
520
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,360
transmission restored to those who are
521
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,159
ready to remember.
522
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:28,640
You are not reading this by accident.
523
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,080
You are here because something inside
524
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,480
you has been calling for this for years
525
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,520
maybe or for lifetimes. You have felt
526
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,840
the gap. You have said the prayer and
527
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,440
felt the silence where the presence
528
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760
should be. You have gone to churches and
529
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,840
heard sermons and sung hymns and still
530
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,080
felt alone because they gave you a
531
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,400
religion. But they did not give you the
532
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,760
keys. And tonight you are receiving one
533
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,480
of those keys. The prayer in its
534
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,400
complete form is not just something you
535
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,280
say. It is something you become. When
536
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,880
you speak the restored ending, you are
537
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,200
not performing a ritual. You are
538
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,280
awakening a memory that lives in your
539
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,400
cells. A memory older than the church,
540
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,640
older than the Bible, older than the
541
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,320
words themselves. The memory of union,
542
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,120
of breath and light and presence, of the
543
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:19,280
father not as a distant king but as the
544
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,200
living force that breathes you into
545
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,159
being in every moment.
546
00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:26,720
And when that memory awakens, the false
547
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,440
world begins to dissolve.
548
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,960
The world that told you that you were
549
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,400
small, that you were separate, that you
550
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,000
needed someone else to mediate between
551
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,159
you and God, that world was built on the
552
00:23:38,159 --> 00:23:41,120
eraser of this teaching. And it cannot
553
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,200
survive the return of it. Because once
554
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,200
you remember who you are, you cannot be
555
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,280
controlled. You cannot be convinced that
556
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,919
you are powerless. You cannot be made to
557
00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:52,159
believe that salvation is somewhere else
558
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:54,320
in some other time through some other
559
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,640
person. You know directly that the
560
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,960
kingdom is here, that the spirit is
561
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,200
breathing through you, that the light is
562
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,600
awake in you, and that knowledge is the
563
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,120
most dangerous thing in the world to
564
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:06,799
those who built their empires on your
565
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:09,280
forgetting. This is not about rejecting
566
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,279
the church. This is about remembering
567
00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:13,440
what the church forgot. This is not
568
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,679
about abandoning Jesus. This is about
569
00:24:15,679 --> 00:24:17,600
returning to the Jesus who spoke in the
570
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,760
upper room, who breathed on the
571
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,240
disciples who said, "The kingdom of God
572
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,480
is within you, who prayed that they may
573
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,120
be one as we are one, who taught not
574
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,840
religion but awakening." And the
575
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,799
awakening begins with breath, with the
576
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:34,559
recognition that the same spirit that
577
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:37,120
moved through him is moving through you
578
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:39,360
with the remembering that you are not
579
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,159
waiting for the light. You are the light
580
00:24:42,159 --> 00:24:44,960
remembering itself.
581
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,880
In Revelation 3:20, Jesus says, "Behold,
582
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,679
I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
583
00:24:51,679 --> 00:24:53,600
hears my voice and opens the door, I
584
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,200
will come in and eat with him and he
585
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,440
with me."
586
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,520
The door is not outside. It is inside.
587
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,279
And the knock is the feeling you have
588
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:06,400
right now. The quickening, the
589
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,760
recognition, the return.
590
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,240
You are not being taught something new.
591
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,919
You are being reminded of something
592
00:25:13,919 --> 00:25:16,320
ancient. And the moment you speak the
593
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,039
restored prayer, you open the door.
594
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:23,520
Not for Jesus to come in, but for the
595
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,039
Christ within you to awaken.
596
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:29,520
The word became flesh.
597
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Not just 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem,
598
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,240
but now
599
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,240
in you.
600
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,120
Every time you remember, every time you
601
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,840
breathe, every time you say the prayer
602
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,960
and feel the return, the word becomes
603
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,960
flesh again.
604
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,240
And the light that was hidden is
605
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,240
revealed.
606
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:56,320
And now we complete the return.
607
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,360
Not in theory, but in practice.
608
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:00,799
I am going to guide you through the
609
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:04,400
restored prayer line by line with space
610
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,080
for breath with space for presence with
611
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,880
space for the remembering to land. If
612
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,159
you are able close your eyes
613
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:17,840
place one hand on your heart and one
614
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,480
hand on your belly
615
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,000
and breathe
616
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
slowly
617
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,679
deeply. Feel the air entering your body
618
00:26:29,679 --> 00:26:34,240
and feel the air leaving your body.
619
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,480
And know that this breath is not yours.
620
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,480
It is the breath of the father, the
621
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,679
spirit, the ruka, the force of life
622
00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:44,679
itself.
623
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,640
Now we speak the prayer out loud if you
624
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,679
can or silently in the cathedral of your
625
00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:55,120
own heart. Our Father, who art in
626
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,080
heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy
627
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,799
kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth
628
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:03,679
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
629
00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:05,600
daily bread, and forgive us our
630
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,080
trespasses, as we forgive those who
631
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,640
trespass against us, and lead us not
632
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,640
into temptation, but deliver us from
633
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,679
evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the
634
00:27:15,679 --> 00:27:20,840
power, and the glory forever.
635
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,039
And now the lost line, the return. For
636
00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:27,520
yours is the spirit and the light.
637
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,279
Forever breathing through me. Pause.
638
00:27:31,279 --> 00:27:34,880
Breathe. Let it settle. Feel the words
639
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,039
not just in your mind, but in your
640
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:39,360
chest, in your cells, in the quiet
641
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,039
awareness that is witnessing this
642
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,039
moment.
643
00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:45,360
You are not asking for the spirit. You
644
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:48,400
are recognizing that it is already here.
645
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,559
You are not seeking the light. You are
646
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:53,360
remembering that it is already awake.
647
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:55,200
And in that remembering, heaven does not
648
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,520
open above you. It opens within you.
649
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,399
The kingdom is here. The father is here.
650
00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:04,000
The presence you have been searching for
651
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,039
your entire life is here.
652
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:09,200
It has always been here. And it will
653
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,600
never leave because it is not separate
654
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,679
from you.
655
00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:15,600
It is the breath you are breathing. It
656
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,279
is the awareness that is reading these
657
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:19,840
words. It is the life that is living
658
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,120
you. You are the temple and the spirit
659
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:25,279
has never left.
660
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:27,679
You are the light of the world and the
661
00:28:27,679 --> 00:28:30,640
light has never dimmed.
662
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,039
You are the child of the living God and
663
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:36,640
you have never been alone.
664
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,480
This is the teaching they could not let
665
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,000
remain.
666
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,600
And this is the teaching that has now
667
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:47,600
returned through you, for you, as you.
668
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,159
You are awakening as the light. You are
669
00:28:50,159 --> 00:28:51,840
returning to the truth that has always
670
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,559
been true. You are whole. You are holy.
671
00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:59,440
You are home.
672
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,679
If this remembering found you, let your
673
00:29:01,679 --> 00:29:04,559
response be silent but seen like a torch
674
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:07,440
for others still wandering. A like, a
675
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,039
comment, a share. Not for me, but for
676
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:12,320
the one who is searching for this
677
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,480
tonight. The one who has said the prayer
678
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,760
a thousand times and still felt the gap.
679
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240
The one who is ready to remember. Before
680
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,240
you return to the world, take a moment.
681
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,720
There are deeper writings,
682
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,720
prayers, reflections, and forgotten
683
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,320
teachings that shed light on what the
684
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,399
church left out and what your heart has
685
00:29:30,399 --> 00:29:32,720
always sensed to be true. We call them
686
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,200
the sacred scrolls.
687
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,440
Each scroll holds a quiet piece of the
688
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,679
original teaching, the breath, the
689
00:29:39,679 --> 00:29:41,520
light, and the remembrance of God's
690
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,520
presence within you. They aren't meant
691
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,520
to convince or convert. They're simply
692
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,039
offered for those who feel something
693
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:49,360
stirring beneath the surface, a quiet
694
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,919
knowing that there is more. You'll find
695
00:29:51,919 --> 00:29:53,679
the link to the Sacred Scrolls in the
696
00:29:53,679 --> 00:29:56,320
description or pinned comment below. And
697
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,919
if you've been walking this path feeling
698
00:29:57,919 --> 00:30:00,480
alone, we've also created a space where
699
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,120
seekers gather, not to debate, but to
700
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,000
share, learn, and remember together.
701
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,640
It's our private Facebook group, a calm
702
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,559
corner of the noise where honest hearts
703
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:13,600
meet. Inside, people from all walks of
704
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,080
life read, reflect, and rediscover what
705
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,919
faith feels like when it becomes
706
00:30:17,919 --> 00:30:20,720
personal again. If that speaks to you,
707
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,480
you'll find the link to join in the
708
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,960
description and pinned comment as well.
709
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,760
Go in peace. And the next time you say
710
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,799
the Lord's Prayer, remember you are not
711
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,039
speaking to a distant God. You are
712
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:36,330
breathing with the father.
713
00:30:36,330 --> 00:30:41,280
