This book teaches step-by-step how early practitioners may have meditated in all three religions springing from the Middle East. Based on translations from Jesus’ native language, Aramaic.
From the fertile common ground in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Neil Douglas-Klotz has revived what he calls “original meditation.” This ancient form of prayer focuses, not on a vision of the apocalypse, but on the tremendous power of creation as it is still unfolding in the universe and in our own personal experience.

This book teaches step-by-step how early practitioners may have meditated in all three religions springing from the Middle East. Based on translations from Jesus’ native language, Aramaic.
From the fertile common ground in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Neil Douglas-Klotz has revived what he calls “original meditation.” This ancient form of prayer focuses, not on a vision of the apocalypse, but on the tremendous power of creation as it is still unfolding in the universe and in our own personal experience.
As Dr. Douglas-Klotz says in his introduction:
“Original meditation lies behind the Christian’s awe at the rebirth of the Christ Child each midwinter. It fuels the heartfelt hope of Jews in the New Year celebration of Rosh Hashana. And it roots the devotion of Muslims each year during the fast of Ramadan. These are all celebrations of hope, not fear, and of love, not hatred. By experiencing the creation story as our own personal story, we have the same opportunity to recreate and renew ourselves, as our ancestors did, and to find a deeper connection with the divine in our everyday lives.”
We also participate in the one meditative practice that might unite our Christian, Judaic, and Islamic communities in a troubled world.
Reviews
This is an amazing book. Neil Douglas-Klotz is a modern mystic who has helped bring back a translation of Hebrew that honors the multi-layered meanings of that language. You will re-discover the Bible! Wonderful meditations are ancient yet modern.
I use the meditations in this book on a daily basis and they have been life-changing. The premise he posits in the first part of the book sets your mind thinking in a different way–and the meditations given afterward are ones that deepen with practice. This book appears to be an earlier edition of “Original Meditation”.
