Shamanic Christianity: Jesus and Aramaic Wisdom

The text presents an argument by Shaman Jon Rasmussen for the compatibility of shamanism and Christianity, specifically his personal faith in Jesus Christ, whom he regards as his ultimate protector and wisdom guide. Rasmussen asserts that true shamanism is an open system focused on healing and alignment with Nature and the Universe, which does not conflict with Christian beliefs. A significant portion of the text compares traditional biblical translations, such as the King James Version, with direct translations from Aramaic—often referencing the work of Reverend Dale Allen Hoffman—to provide what he sees as a more pragmatic and universal understanding of Jesus's core teachings, including the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. Ultimately, Rasmussen contends that Jesus's wisdom and unconditional help offer the most effective path to spiritual freedom and protection from evil, regardless of one's religious or non-religious background.
