The Disciples New Testament deals with how a human being lives and dies in this world and how nothing makes any sense in the end, all the pleasures, sorrows, struggles and triumphs; everyone who is born must die, except for the one who always was, always is and always will be. That one is only Jesus, who can reverse the process and return the human being to freedom and innocence.

Rediscovering the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures

The oldest language in which the Scriptures were recorded began in Mesopotamia as picture writing. It evolved from images to abstract symbols called cuneiform, then to alphabet. The Jewish scribes favored the Ashurai language or "Ashurit," which they still recognize as the sacred language of the Torah. The Torah was recorded by the Jews during the Babylonian Captivity starting in the 5th Century B.C. The technical term for the Ashurai language in Western theology is Ancient Aramaic.

In the time of Jesus Christ, the Jewish disciples and apostles recorded the New Testament Scripture also in the Ancient Aramaic. This language became known as the scribal language. Jesus spoke and preached in this language. It was the same language that Abraham brought from the land of Ashur. All the Hebrew people spoke this language from the very beginning. Both Isaac and Jacob went home to the land of their grandparents to get married, and so they too continued to speak this language. Two thousand years since, modern Aramaic has split off into many dialects. The dialects are so different today that only a few words and phrases are recognizable to all those nations who speak it. Modern Aramaic is still in use in the Middle East and the Holy Lands. There are millions of people who speak it.

This is the basis for this restoration of Scriptures from the original language in which it was conceived and recorded.

Documentary Filmmaking

In the late sixties, I began studying filmmaking at the San Francisco State University. I graduated in 1970. From 1970 until 1975, I worked in the Norwegian film industry. In 1975, I came back to the States and began working on a documentary film about the Ashurai heritage. I traveled to Paris and London in 1976, and I filmed the two museums with the greatest collection of antiquity, the Louvre and the British Museum. Later I entered the Independent Hollywood Film Industry, where I've made my living as a filmmaker for over three decades.

Ashurai

My interest in ancient history and archeology led to my writing two books on the Ashurai heritage, The First Civilization and The Ashurai. The Ashurai ancient history is linked to the Bible. This is one of the most incredible stories ever discovered. Someday it'll be the source of peace in the Middle East.

Communications

Communication is the essence of the Internet. Yet communicating freely is difficult when there is the threat of terrorism against the freedom of people to think and live as they wish. The attack on America on September 11th, 2001, changed the way we think about how we communicate with each other. Freedom of expression is never going to be the same.

I hope the ideas I've expressed will be of benefit to visitors of this website from all over the world.
