SS: What is the energetic link between prayer, divine
consciousness and science? 
RR: To understand these principles, we have to view spirituality
from an energy paradigm. The universe is energy. Quantum physics reveals
that's exactly what the universe is composed of – light energy.
When we understand prayer, meditation, stillness, and how to open, soften
and receive this life energy, then changes begin to take place on all
levels of our life. We are called to be creators with the Divine. We
need to learn how to develop a God consciousness, to become aware of
the nature of God. When we study the Lord's Prayer in the Aramaic
context we begin to see that the entire universe is energy. This is
what I'm doing right now – this type of workshop – to
literally empower people with this understanding. These principles of
spirituality were practiced thousands of years ago. If we can be aware
that we, too, are light and the entire universe is light, then we can
begin to see ourselves reconnected to the life source, what we call
God.
SS: Can an individual, through his own connection with the
Divine, through practice, meditation and prayer, become his own teacher
by listening to the Christ Consciousness in his own heart?
RR: Absolutely. One of the ways to connect with the Divine is
to chant the names of God. You can feel the change in vibration in your
own body. When we chant the names of the Divine, we become a tuning
fork. We're raising the vibration of our tuning fork to vibrate
at the same frequency produced when chanting the names of God. What
Jesus was teaching in the Aramaic understanding of the Lord's Prayer
was to become aware of your connection with all the universe; this concept
of “I am-ness.” The “I am” of our being, however,
is the energy that comes from life energy; it's not the ego.
SS: What does it mean to truly surrender your life to God?
RR: Many different teachings in Christian traditions speak about
having faith in Jesus, having faith in this individual. That concept
is foreign to Aramaic speaking people. The faith that Jesus talked about
is having faith in your energetic connection with the life force in
the universe. Once you have that kind of faith, then all things are
possible. You can trust an individual to know something, but the idea
of the Aramaic is you don't put your faith in a person; you put
your faith in that teaching of connection.
SS: You say that authentic prayer is connecting with the divine
as well as listening?
RR: Yes, I would also add what I've learned from Sanskrit
and Aramaic. I discovered that in Aramaic there is no word for “prayer”
as we know it in English. If we read the English translation of Jesus'
words: “When you pray, pray like this,” what was he saying,
if they don't have a word for prayer? The word that was used was
“slotha,” the root word being “sla,” which means,
“to set a trap.” Jesus, having been taught as a Jewish religious
person, would understand that the concepts of quietness, silence and
solitude, would build an atmosphere for God to speak to you. When he
told the Aramaic people that to connect to the divine spirit you must
set a trap, what he actually was saying was, get still, and set your
mind in that stillness, as a trap to catch the thoughts of God. In Sanskrit,
the word for prayer was “pal-al.” It means to see yourself
as “wondrously made.” These two concepts are very important
when you want to connect with God – you have to learn how to be
still, and the best way to learn to be still is to be comfortable with
yourself, when you see yourself as wondrously made in the image
and likeness of the divine, meaning you are not separate from the divine.
SS: One phrase that particularly moved me is what you say
to still yourself. You say, “I am God breathed.” When I read
that I just started saying, “I am God breathed.” It's
working for me, really helping me with fear and I don't even know
why.
RR: You have just hit on the most important concept in spirituality.
The mind, brain and intelligence have to be bypassed in order to receive
an experience from the fourth dimension. You cannot get a fourth-dimensional
experience through three-dimensional means. As much as the intellect
and mind are very excellent tools, when it comes to spirituality it
isn’t about figuring it out. It's about trusting that the
process knows how to work on its own, which is exactly what you did.
