The “Cosmic Our Father” and the Lord’s Prayer

Thus there is a fundamental difference in structure between the two prayers. The Macrocosmic prayer may be represented as follows:

The arrows indicate the direction of cause to effect, and the two sides are cut off from each other.

The Lord’s Prayer may be represented in this way:

The heavenly and the earthly parts of the prayer are joined together, and the arrows indicate paths of freedom rather than cause and effect.

Often, we repeat the Lord’s Prayer with little consciousness of what we are saying. Each time the meaning is inscribed into our unconscious. This is needed by the earth, and helps in world evolution, but it does not bring us to full freedom. When we notice the significance of what we are saying, then we can make the free decision to participate in the progress of the world, and our thoughts can also reach out and help redeem the suffering that remains part of earth existence as long as the evils prevail in any part of the world.
