Ron Roth is an internationally known teacher, spiritual healer
and modern day mystic. His latest book, Reclaim Your Spiritual
Power, shows readers the principles to reclaim thei
r
spirit and assist them in creating miracles in their own lives.
EW: How can we reclaim our spiritual power?
RR: The best way to reclaim our spiritual power is to reconnect
with the divine spirit at the center of our being. We might
call that prayer, meditation or chanting, but the most important
way to reclaim the power that is spirit is to get back in
touch with the spirit. It's important to become comfortable
with the form of prayer that you may be using. Don't use
memorized prayer. Learn how to talk to the divine, and also
to recognize that the other side of prayer is listening. In
those few moments of quietness you may hear a voice, or it
may be as simple as a hunch or idea, but recognize that that
is the intuitive voice of the spirit speaking to us, giving
us the answers we seek.
EW: So 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 realized that a lot of people weren't
getting 'answers to prayer,' so I made a deep study
of both Sanskrit and the language of Jesus, which is Aramaic.
I was interested in Jesus' words not as religion or dogma,
but basically to understand how this man operated, from the
sense of divine spirit – his saying to us that we could
do the same things he did. Much to my surprise, 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. That made perfect sense to me. We grew
up with the whole idea that prayer was just babbling on and
on. Then when you were done, you got up and said, “Thank
you, God,” and you walked out. You didn't get an
answer because you weren't quiet long enough to hear the
answer come to you. In Sanskrit, the word for prayer was 'pal-al.'
It means to see yourself as 'wondrously made.v 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.
You can only 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. Whatever power
the divine has can flow through you when you learn how to
tap into this presence. We live mostly in a third dimensional
way of life. Spiritual power, spiritual living is learning
to live in the fourth dimension while you're still in
this body.
EW: What is the fourth dimension?
RR: The fourth dimension is best defined as living,
moving and having your being in the spirit of the divine.
It's expressing the various graces of the spirit: healing,
prophesy, clairvoyance and clairaudience that are not part
of the third dimension.
EW: 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.
EW: What can people expect from your workshop in
March?
RR: I will teach people the concepts I learned from
my stroke. I do encourage them to get the book beforehand
so they are prepared and can follow with me.
In the afternoon we'll do spiritual work, bringing the
other side to the third dimension. I'll give the people
who are coming the awareness of how to go into these states
of meditation to experience that there's nothing to fear.
