by Tomas Meyers

The Supernal Word of Spiraling Light
Words Overheard by the Children of Earth
in their Search for Paradise

Our Father who art in heaven (Traditional)

Our Beloved who is everywhere (Modern,)

awoon dwashmaya (Aramaic )

Restrainless, yet Containable; Nameless, yet Explainable

Unalterable allness which lives within us all,
yet in its constancy receives and gives, arrives and leaves,
changes and rearranges simultaneously
with interlaced light and sound;
non-specific initiator of specificity,
and rich embryo of formlessness;
both beatific brightness and radiant night,
interwoven through the intercession of sun and moon,
like phallus and womb in the palace of creation…
We are expressive of the whole,and knowingly profess our gratefulness for sacred intercourse.

Hallowed be thy name

Sacred and special is
your Word

nithqadash shmakh

Silence Sounds, And Sound Silences

The nameless is ordained with many names,
still stays the same in any shape.
The Name remains in dormant enormity,
effortlessly persisting in divisionless splendor.
The seeds of sound conform
to forces breathing through the roots,
like a newly-born passing through circle to circle…
from womb to earth, then through death,
while attending immensity past telling.
Still, swelling life presumes to tell,
as words emerge to bless the ground.
Spokesbeings of truth, fresh from growth,
unfold wings and sing of once-untold wonderment.

Thy kingdom come

Your guiding counsel
is here

tethey malkuthakh

This Instant
We Interpenetratingly Create Eternity

Our living force as creatures seeks the Source,
and ardent hearts give birth
to re-emergence of beatific primacy on earth.
Unific intercourse with creation's molten womb
instills the will to live
and binds both body and mind with pleasure's crest,
as ageless lovers burn with unconsuming revelry,
and endlessly rediscover treasures of Divine initiative.
We find the outcome of our prayers,
share the touch of bliss,
and marry happiness with lasting gratitude
as we bear the cherished child.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

Let Your desire, wish, or vision prevail on earth, as it does in the universe...

nehweh seweeyanakh
akana
dwashmaya ap barah

Direct Connection
with Omni-directional Perfection

Underlying cohesive force,
both lowly and exalted,
undying source of life and flawless mystery,
we set aside seeming imperfections,
and let a collective sigh coalesce eternal yearnings,
as we merge our earthen home and sky-blossoming abode.
Embossed with light, our minds unite in seamless circuitry,
while frantic searching and pedantic urgency subside,
inviting an upsurgence of divine delight.

Give us this day our daily bread

...(You) meet our needs each day

haw-lan lahma dsunqanan yaumana

Perpetually Replenishing Pantry

This day with each act,
may we attract the natural outgrowth of gratitude and relaxation,
and nourish understanding through mutual encouragement.
May we surround our interwoven odyssey
with reassuring wellness,
and receive just allotments from the ground swell of earth's perpetually replenishing pantry.
Let enhanced trust become our legacy,
and undiminished worth increase our wealth.

And forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

We are released from blame and shame as we release others

washwok-lan haubain akana dap hnan shwakan l¹hayawen

Vastness Relaxes Taxing Attachments

When no offence and no offender is perceived,
then no one needs be condemner or condemned.
When we close our eyes to mercy and hold blame,
then we are smothered by the same.
Another day may come or we may go,
before we open prison doors.
Held within,
we have the key
to re-see mistaken identities
and identify with the undefiled.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

Keep us from getting lost in delusion (materialism, attachment)
and protect us from error

wla taalan l¹nisyona ela pasan min-bisha

Authentic Life is Ripe,
Leaving Sweetness as a Guide

Let us digress from indigestible consumption
of ill-formed presumptions,
invest breath with precious thankfulness;
transform the stream of grievances into a sea of equanimity;
freshen dank appearances
and vestiges of fear with uncontested reverence;
disavow inauthentic life,
and allow beauty to proceed with simple eloquence.

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever

For to You belongs the vision, the life energy, and the harmony that brings it all togetherFrom ages past and for ages ad infinitum

mitol ddeelakhee malkutha whaila wtishbohhta la-alam almeen

Everything Sings the Name of Unity and Each Moment Brings an Opportunity to Notice Our True Holiness

You are both near and far,
earth-held altar and starry sky,
unknown, yet realized.
You are the resplendent principle
which is undividedly alert,
as well as the indispensable dispenser of unifying harmony.
You are the prime mover whose cosmic consciousness
instills the atmosphere with celestial festivals
and starts fields dancing with fertility.
You are enhanced fecundity,
and wonderfully free creativity.
All we see is merely part of your enormously energizing empire of sound and fire.
The call is made, awakening an inner voice;
rejoicingly, we circle in Your Name,
bow with weightless revelry,
and vow to meet repeatedly throughout the ages.

Amen

Sealed in Faith and Firmness
(I mean this)
