Simple Presence: Dancing "I Am" with the Aramaic Jesus

Native Middle Eastern Chant & Devotional Music

by Neil Douglas-Klotz

The "I Am" statements of Jesus from the Gospel of John, as viewed from Jesus' native Aramaic language, point to a state of "simple presence" - a connection to the "I Am that I Am." Each feeling or experience mentioned is a doorway to this connection.

This recording gives chants and music to a sequence of Dances of Universal Peace that use seven of these "I Am" statements in Aramaic. Listening to, chanting with and contemplating these chants can take the listener into the shem of Jesus - his vibration or atmosphere - and fulfill his advice to pray b'sheme ("with my light-sound-atmosphere").

CD 65 minutes.
