“Neil Douglas-Klotz’s depth of study helps us to be in harmony with our original nature.”-Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
“Religion easily dies when it succumbs to rote. The Aramaic translations of Klotz cut through the rote and bring us to the deeper meanings of Jesus’s teaching that can still touch our hearts, move our souls, and ignite our action.”-Matthew Fox
“Neil Douglas-Klotz has distilled his decades of rigorous scholarship, deep practice, and revolutionary insight into a potent elixir for our times.”-Mirabai Starr
Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus approaches Jesus’s recorded words and teachings through his native language, Aramaic, answering many questions clearly and consistently, even if unexpectedly. The book is a guide to living an authentic interior life without dogma and a spiritual path that makes you more comfortable in your own.

I discovered Banyen books when l was living in Vancouver 1974-5. It would not be too great a claim to say that for a young girl just over from England, the content l found there changed the course of my life. 20 years later, now a mother of 4 children, l attended a workshop with Neil Douglas- Klotz in a little church hall in Sheffield, back in England, where l was living. Almost another 30 years later and the two come together…and l catch a glimpse of the pattern of my life ❤
This has been a lovely discussion to hear.
Estou maravilhada com os ensinamentos. Eu tenho sonho de ter os livros de dr Neil 🇧🇷
Wow! This was totally incredible and enlightening. Thank you
Due to my English’s insufficiency, I am not sure l’ve got all things clear.
But l can tell this teaching is very attractive to me. I would like to find a book of Dr.Neil
Dr.Deil mentioned about “polarity” which sounds very interesting & special to me.
It might relate to the structure of an atom. The whole breath or soul or air or self sounds like
a big size “atom” to me.
The Aramaic attracted me. Thanks for teaching & sharing.
Thank you so much...I met you in Huntington Beach, CA. with Matt Fox...dancing in circle with the body movement of Shalom!
I've followed you since through books...I love the word UNRIPE...such a comforting solution to my impatience! Ripening is an
inner process...requires patience for myself as well as others!
Thanks for this. I thoroughly enjoy Neil's interpretations ans insights
Wonderful talk. Thank you.
I noticed that sometimes the name Yeshua is spoken, sometimes the name Jesus is spoken and once Mr. Klotz said His name Eesha which he said is Arabic... If His parents (Mary and Joseph) called Him Yeshua in His native language of Aramaic. Where did the name Jesus come from, and who changed it?
The name Jesus is the English version of the German variation of the Greek Iesu, which is what was written in the original Greek New Testament. The I is converted to a J in German. Mary would have been Mariamne in the Greek; Joseph would have been Iosef in the Greek.
@@ruthlmiller5376 Who changed it back then? By what authority did they have? It would have to be someone in authority that could read... When people of authority speak in their native language, they say a persons name in the language of the person... For instance, Como esta Bill Smith, or Oui John Davis... Out of respect to the person and their name. So, I don't get it... English translation from Greek?? By who's authority??? Who are they or we to change the name of Christ Almighty???
@@AlbertVernon That's why some insist on calling him Yeshua all the time. And i've seen Muslims mock Christians in college campuses bc they dont even know Jesus' real name. Yeshua is the Hebrew name, so it's not even Arameic. Close enough tho, since some scholars argue most likely it was pronunced "Yeshu" during that time in Galilee.
BTW, the letter J was not added until the late 15th century, before then it was pronounced Iesus or eaesus.. From a quick google search:
The original authors of the New Testament tried to convert the Hebrew name's sound into Greek letters, but they didn't have the letters to represent the "sh" sound, so they substituted an "s" sound in the middle, resulting in "eaesus". Eventually, the letter "j" was placed in front of "Jesus" and it made its way into Latin almost unchanged.

What frequency Hz is Mr. Klotz's guitar tuned to?
there are a few words of Aramaic recorded as being said by Jesus; "talitha, cumi"; and "eloi, eloi, lama sabacthani". the first he said when raising a girl from the dead, and means simply, "little girl, arise". the second is an Aramaic paraphrase or translation of the first line of psalm 22, "my god, my god why have you forsaken me?". the first is probably simply a memory, but also refutes the idea that special formula of words is necessary. the quoting of the psalm suggests a prophetic element to the psalm. nowhere else in the New Testament is language made explicit. when Jesus spoke with Pilate, they may have spoken in Latin, or had an interpreter, or Pilate may have known Greek, or possibly even Aramaic. When Jesus read the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue, he was probably reading in Hebrew. there were commoners as well as priests and scholars who knew Hebrew, both in Judea, and in Galilee. some of the apostles had Greek names; Phillip and Andrew, for instance. in the Decapolis, the people mostly spoke Greek. the Samaritans certainly read Hebrew, but may well have also spoken Aramaic. there are ostraka and epigraphical evidences that Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic were all spoken by various parts of the population, that Latin was language of Roman administration, and multilingualism almost certainly occurred. the New Testament was entirely written in Greek, with no trace of any other language of composition, ever. there are puns and alliterations and assonances in the Sermon of the Mount that only work in Greek. this could well suggest that Jesus actually gave this teaching in Greek, in the first place. although the whole New Testament is full of allusions to the Old Testament, which was written in Hebrew, and is full of Semitisms of thought, it is abundantly obvious that it was written in Greek. the reason for this is that the message of the New Testament, the Good News of Jesus, is for the whole world, not just for the Israelites, or those in the Levant. that message transcends all language, and every language is as good as any other for its transmission. there is no formula or secret knowledge. it is all out in open, for any to see, who care to look, in whatever language they choose to look in. There are no so blind, as will not see; none so deaf, as will not hear; Hear, See, the Good News; turn to the LORD, and be Healed.
The banner on the wall behind Mr. Ross looks like the chakra chart. What is it and what does it mean?
Good eye... it is indeed a chakra chart. Energy centers believed to influence physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. ✨
It is the chakra chart. The Banyen Bookstore offers spiritual materials from all over the world. The colors of the circles are the colors that some folks in the Hindu tradition assign to each of the energy centers along the spine, through which what they call prana, and the Chinese call chi, the Japanese call Ki flows into different parts of the body.
