An Esoteric/Cosmic Vision of the Lord’s Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven: the highest point within me to which I can turn my gaze.

Hallowed be your name: for all who dwell in me, especially when I pronounce it without awareness of myself or of you.

Thy kingdom come: the kingdom of consciousness.

Thy will be done: what has not yet been – my awakening, which is the same as what will be.

On earth as it is in heaven: In all my inner worlds, from the lowest to the highest.

Give us today our daily bread: the higher, the spiritual food, the possibility of remembering us and remembering you.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us: my own forgetfulness, my sleep and the sleep of those who dwell in me.

Lead us not into temptation: into recurring forgetfulness, into the slumber that prevents me from “being” and “doing”.

But deliver us from all evil: that in your grace I may recognize only what is real.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever, Amen: what has been said has already taken place, already is.
