]]> The full recording of these chants included an introduction by Pamela:

These chants are in Hebrew-Aramaic, and when I read these to my father [who studied Biblical languages in theological college], he was very interested in what I was doing.

The nature of chants is that they are repeated, over and over again. They are used in ecstatic singing, they are used to lift the vibration. Certainly as I have sung them walking the dog or whatever, at periods when I’m down or confused at times, I have found more peace in singing them.

Bnai Elohim

Bnai Elohim,
Kodoish, kodoish, kodoish,
Bnai Elohim Adonai tsebayoth

I was told it’s actually something to say three times if you feel there are evil spirits following you around, to banish them from the space. Basically, it’s names for God. The translation::

Sons and daughters of Light,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Hosts of the Light.

Eloha Elohim

This next one is “Eloha Elohim”: again, names for God. Then “Allaha” and “Allah” – other names in Arabic for God.

Translation:

Creator of Light in the Highest
I AM That

Hebrew chants

Pamela wrote this song “after a difficult conversation with a minister around theology”, as she related in this talk. I can just imagine that conversation!

We played this recording at her interment ceremony as we paid our individual respects. It was very poignant in that context.

It isn’t a studio recording, just something she recorded for her own records, or perhaps as a casual demo. – HH

Spirit of Life, work your magic in my soul
Bringing your wondrous touch, you ignite
The fire that makes me whole
Spirit of Life reflected in the rising of the Sun
Resurrect your spirit here in the knowing we are all one.

One in the Godhead, one in the heart
One in the peace, that’s where we start
One in the blessing of the sun
One sun that shines on everyone.

Spirit of Life, I feel so full of Grace
Knowing how your radiant form transfigures every face
Spirit of Life reflected in the light of every smile
Opening heart and mind alike to your presence here all the while.

Light of loving, light of truth
Light through the Spirit we’re made new
Light that warms us like the sun
One sun that shines on everyone.

One in the Godhead, one in the heart
One in the peace, that’s where we start
One in the blessing of the sun
One sun that shines on everyone.
One sun that shines on everyone.
