[Scroll for Documents of Interest]
Lord's Prayer - two versions
The first comparison is traditional with an Aramaic to English translation. The second comparison is to the one Rev. Thomas was inspired to write. He says, "the traditional version continues to have power for me and it's what I recite. However the words now have greater meaning because of the Aramaic translation and my inspired version."
Inspired writers tap into a higher stream of intelligence.
Inspired spiritual writings describe the same phenomenon in their own way. This provides multiple ways to view the same thing. They compliment each other rather than contradict. Complex subjects often need multiple viewpoints. Poets uniquely describe a beautiful sunset or being in love in their own way. Yet, it's the same sunset and the same feeling. So it is with understanding the Creative Source and our place and purpose in it.
UNVEILING THE MYSTICAL WORLD OF CRYSTALS & CRYSTAL BALLS
"In my workshop, you will uncover the historical legacy of crystals and crystal balls - from their role in cultural traditions to their optical marvels in material science. They have a tremendous
spiritual significance for connecting to the eternal spirit world." Rev. Mahala
WORKSHOP NOTES AND COMMENTS
Rev. Thomas' notes for his workshop. You are welcome to this material for your own spiritual awakening. Not all of the notes here may be addressed in his workshop as his direct inspiration often has other plans.
