The heart, the body knows before the head does. Wow! This is beautiful! Sounds simple, but it takes a while to let go of bad theology. My brain is still full of bad theology. It means so very, very much to me that you took time to write about this!!
In practice, I think slowing down to "hear" on a regular basis may be my pruning. And that sounds like a process that is restorative, not something to be afraid of. I'd hug you if I could. 😊 I will treasure this gift.
Thank you for your research answer insights I enjoy the resonance I feel as I consume the words with my eyes ans feel the sweet savoryness and rising of my consciousness to embrace the energy
I am a new paid subscriber and very thankful that you are sharing the Divine gift that you have received. Nabu why is it that Jesus never mentions anything about breath-work protocol or practices? At one point , in the same manner as God breathed into Adam the breath of life, Jesus breathes into/on them and says "receive the Holy Spirit". But this is far from a practice or a breath protocol but more a singular experience. Curiously, after the resurrection he tells them to wait for the spirit or breath of God to poured out upon them and for them to stay in the city until they are clothed with power from on high. there seems to be a connection between the words spirit and breath in that they are translated from the same word.
thank you for this — and you have already done most of the work in your own question.
You are right that pneuma in Greek and ruach in Hebrew both mean breath and spirit simultaneously. The translators chose one meaning and left the other behind every time.
When Jesus breathes on the disciples and says receive the Holy Spirit — he is not performing a ceremony. He is demonstrating something about the nature of the spirit itself. It is carried in breath. It moves the way breath moves.
The reason Jesus does not give a formal breathwork protocol is the same reason he does not give a formal meditation protocol. He points at the thing directly and expects the serious student to follow the pointing.
The breathwork traditions that developed in the Essene community, the Vedic tradition, and the early desert fathers were the communities that followed that pointing into practice.
The connection you identified between breath and spirit is not incidental. It is the teaching.
Reaonate so much and was what i had been begining to understand. A jumping off point for me was Peter telling Jesus "not so Lord" when Jesus shared He was going ro the cross... we can love deeply, we can wish that we and others do not need to have harsh, painful experiences, however it is vital we have experiences that awaken our awareness and shift our perceptions, become complete and whole... for without this what is the point? We can love and walk with another one their journey, and not interfere in their growth...they choose for themselves. (This was a powerful jumping off point for the codependent in me at that point 😉)
Thank you Nabu! ❤️❤️❤️
