The Lord's Prayer Revisited
On May 15, 1988
again the word of The Lord Jesus Christ came to me, saying:
“It is time to reevaluate
what is known to humans as the Lord's Prayer.
As you know, this prayer was formulated by The Lord Jesus Christ during
His/Her stay on planet Zero.
Basically, there
are two, somewhat different versions of this Prayer. One is recorded in the Gospel according to
Matthew, Chapter 6, verses 913; the other one is recorded in the Gospel
according to Luke, Chapter 11, verses 2-4.
For comparison,
let us quote them side-by-side:
Matthew's Version:
'Our Father in
heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your
kingdom come. Your will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors. And do not lead us into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. '
Luke's Version:
'Our Father in
heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your
Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. Give as day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive
everyone who is indebted to us. And do
not lead us into temptation but deliver as from the evil one. '
As you know,
historians of the biblical texts differ in the explanation of what kinds of
words The Lord Jesus Christ used. No
consensus exists on the original wording of this Prayer. Some texts omit this word or that word and
Luke, for example, omits the closing clause of this Prayer ('for yours is the
kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.') Not only that, but the context within which this Prayer was
formulated by Jesus Christ fundamentally differs between Matthew and Luke.
'In Matthew's
context, the Prayer is included within the famous authoritative Sermon on the
Mountain. On the other hand, in Luke
this is not the case. Luke's context
places the time and the place of that Prayer into a different time and place
than His/Her famous Mountain Sermon. In
Luke, the Prayer is given by a request from one of His disciples, after He was
praying in a certain place. That
disciple asked Him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
It is not by a
coincidence that so many discrepancies exist about the true wordings of this
prayer and in what contextual situation it was formulated.
It seems as though
these are two different prayers from a different time and from a different
position. The discrepancies in wordings
created very different interpretations of the meaning of this prayer, giving an
impetus to the development of the churches' dogmas and doctrines that
fundamentally differ in their philosophies.
Thus, for example,
the Catholic church uses Luke's text and claims that the kingdom, the power and
the glory were given to that church.
Allegedly, this is the reason why Jesus Christ omitted the closing
clause of this Prayer.
On the other hand,
the Protestant churches adopted Matthew's version of this Prayer. However, not all available copies of
Matthew's original Gospel contain this famous closing clause. So, the controversy about this issue is
obvious.
In actuality, no
one knows exactly which words belong in that Prayer and which do not.
The true reality
of this situation, as revealed here by The Lord Jesus Christ, is that both
versions are correct - as recorded in the New King James Version of the English
translation of the Holy Bible to the nearest approximation of the originals of
both Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel.
What no one has
known up to this point was that Jesus Christ formulated two prayers, at two
different times, from the two, entirely different positions.
The Prayer, as
recorded in Matthew, was formulated from the position of the positive state and
from the position of His/Her being the Son of God, that is, from the Absolute
Element of The Most High which was hybridized with and fused into the elements
of Joseph and Mary. From that position,
the Prayer has an entirely different connotation and meaning than from the
position which was conducive to Luke's version of that Prayer.
The former position
is a position of the most within Spiritual Mind, where all kingdoms, power and
glory belong.
However, in Luke,
the position is taken from that aspect of Jesus Christ which was called the Son
of Man. This is a position of separation
from The Most High - Father. Whereas the
first position in Matthew flows from within to without - this is the positive
state, the position in Luke is from without to within - this is the position of
the negative state. It is an external
position where no kingdom, no power and no glory exist.
Notice, please,
that in Luke the Prayer was formulated only after a request was
made by a disciple, asking Jesus Christ to teach them how to pray. This is a request from without and not from
within. Again, this version has an entirely
different connotation than the one in Matthew.
Matthew's version
was formulated from the purely spiritual position or from spiritual truth. Luke's version was formulated from the human
or external position, the position where no genuine truth exists. Because of this factor, the introduction of
truth into this position must occur first due to the fact that nothing of the
real truth exists in the condition of human life.
Basically, you can
say that Matthew's version of the Prayer was formulated for the entire Creation
- to and at the level of the spiritual awareness which was available to
its members at that particular time.
On the other hand, Luke's version of this Prayer was directed solely to
humans on planet Zero and to all other creatures and entities in the entire
Zone of Displacement and all its Hells.
As you remember,
at the time when both versions of this Prayer were formulated, the situation
was such that planet Zero and the Zone of Displacement were not under the rule
of The Most High God but under the rule of the pseudo-creators. Therefore, the Luke version omits
purposefully the statement that the kingdom, the power and the glory belongs to
the heavenly Father. The Father neither
fathered the Zone of Displacement and planet Zero nor ruled them at that time.
But the situation
was different in the positive state of Creation. The Father truly fathered the positive state
and always was its uncontested Ruler.
For that reason, in praying from that position, it is vital to
acknowledge that all the kingdom, the power and the glory belong to the
Father. Of course, this is a literal
interpretation of these words. An
entirely different spiritual connotation and meaning exist in the understanding
and interpretation of these words. We
shall speak about it a little later.
So, in
interpreting both texts of these versions, you must be aware of the position
from which that Prayer was formulated.
This distinction puts the interpretation of both versions into an
entirely different perspective.
Some levels of the
inner spiritual meaning and correspondences of this Prayer were already
revealed through Swedenborg. Some were
revealed through this transmitter in the previous books of the New Revelation. These interpretations are correct and valid
but neither of them are complete. At the
time of those interpretations, it was not proper yet to know that both versions
of that Prayer had a different connotation and were uttered from a different
position and that, actually, they were two, totally different prayers. With this fundamental difference in mind, let
us look on the true sense and meaning of these prayers, first in the Matthew
version.
Our Father in
Heaven.' These words define the spiritual condition that existed at that time
in the positive state of Creation. In
turn, that condition defined and determined the perception, understanding of
and relatedness toward the Nature of The Most High which the positive state had
at that particular time. Here you have
to be aware of a very important spiritual fact, repeated many times before (to
the disgust of all complainers about the redundancy and repetitious nature of
this book), that The Most High, now The Lord Jesus Christ, speaks and reveals
to the members of His/Her Creation only from the position of the current level
of their spiritual development.
As you know,
everyone in Creation is subject to the law of spiritual progression which
proceeds in certain discrete steps. Each
step in progression transcends the spiritual condition, understanding and
awareness of the reality of each preceding step. For that reason, The Lord Jesus Christ can
relate to the members of His/Her Creation, as well as to everyone else, only
from the position of that step or from that spiritual condition. Nothing more and nothing less.
To repeat again,
more would be incomprehensible to them and thus, spiritually dangerous because
it would be rejected. Rejection would mean
to fall out into the Zone of Displacement.
Less would be regressive which also would mean a fall out into the Zone
of Displacement. Both rejection and
regression constitute the true nature of the negative case. Thus, in such a case, the positive state
would become negative. For this
important reason, The Lord Jesus Christ accommodates Himself/Herself to the
level of each step in which the members of Creation are at each given time and
He/She speaks only from that position.
This rule is fully applicable to the Lord's Prayer.
Thus, the words
'our Father in Heaven,' among many other things, reflect the spiritual
condition that existed at that time. At
that time, the perception and understanding of the Nature of God Most High was
from the position of His/Her Absolute Wisdom and Truth as a foundation of
Creation. As you know, the foundation of
Creation is always the Spiritual Truth.
Creation develops from the position of truth toward the position of
good; or from the position of wisdom to the position of love; or from the
position of faith to the position of positive and useful works.
The reason why the
development of Creation follows this course, although love, good and positive
and useful works precede and give birth to wisdom, truth and faith, is because,
as you remember, Creation is the outwardness of the Absolute Inwardness of the
Creator. The Absolute Inwardness
constitutes Absolute Love, Good and Positive Works. On the other hand, The Absolute Process of
the Absolute Inwardness is the Absolute Wisdom, Truth and Faith. Creation can be created only by means of the
Absolute Process of the Absolute
State of the Absolute
Inwardness but not by the Absolute State Itself, because it always proceeds
from the Absolute Within to the relative without, where it becomes the
outwardness of the Creator.
One of the major
purposes of Creation is to eternally approximate its Absolute Creator. In order to do that, Creation, being the
outwardness of the inwardness, always moves in the direction toward its Creator
and not away from Him/Her. If it were to
move away, it would soon cease to exist or fall out into the Zone of
Displacement. Moving from the 'to' to
the 'From' constitutes moving from truth toward its good, and once the good is
reached, from the good to its truth.
This is how Creation is structured.
Now, the word
'Father,' as used in this Prayer, reflects this situation. 'Father' corresponds to the foundation of
Creation which stems from the Absolute Wisdom and Absolute Truth of the
Absolute Inward Most High or the Creator.
Thus, under the condition that existed at that time, one was to relate
from truth to the Absolute Truth which is 'Father' and then proceed toward good
and love of the Creator which is 'Mother' or essence of the Creator. 'Father' is the substance, therefore, the
foundation of Creation. But the content
and the building of itself, as well as its head, is love and good or 'mother'
of Creation. The movement is always
toward love and good or 'mother.'
However, as you
know, the word 'mother' is never used in the Holy Bible in this particular
connotation, the reason being that, at that time, no such conceptualization of
Creation was possible to convey to anyone.
Taking into consideration the level of spiritual development of Creation
existing at that time, such conclusions were premature, particularly in view of
the fact that something was lacking from the experiential mode of the Most High's Nature. As you are aware, at that time, the Nature of
the Most High lacked elements of the natural degree and elements of planet Zero
and the Zone of Displacement. Due to
this lack, the unification of all spiritual principles was not fully
possible. The concept of Absolute Love
and Its Absolute Good, or motherhood, cannot be properly conceived without the
total Absolute Unification of all elements in being and existence. But the concept of fatherhood could because
the foundation of Creation is built on that concept. From it, one gradually moves toward the
ultimate unification. For this reason, few
ever spoke of God as Mother but, in most instances, as Father only. This is particularly true in Christian
religions.
However, once all
elements in being and existence were incorporated and fused into the totality
of the Absolute Nature of The Most High and the Most High became the fullness
of The Lord Jesus Christ, the new understanding of the Nature of The Lord Jesus
Christ began to develop through this New Revelation.
But at the time of
Jesus Christ's presence on planet Zero, this was not the case. Therefore, His Prayer begins with the words
'Our Father.' The word 'in heaven' means within the positive state. The Absolute Wisdom and the Absolute Truth or
the Absolute Substance of the Nature of God, is always absolutely
positive. The Absolute Positive
State is the State of the
Absolute Within or Inwardness. Thus, the
word 'heaven' also means that this Father - the Absolute Wisdom and Truth - is
the Absolute Inwardness from which the positive state emanates and Creation is
created.
'Hallowed be Your
name.' The word 'hallowed' describes the quality of approach that the members
of the positive state are required to have.
Only from the position of holiness to the position of the Absolute
Holiness can one relate. The position of
holiness, in this connotation, signifies a relationship from the position of
pure intent, in purity of one's heart, for the sake of principle, with full
acceptance and practice of truth and recognition that that truth derives from
the 'Heavenly Father.' With such an approach one hallows the Name of God. 'Your name' means the quality of the true
Nature of the Creator or in this case, the heavenly Father.
'Name' is always a
reflection of the content of the quality of one's personality and
individuality. To approach 'our Father
in heaven' in this holy name, that is, with full acceptance of Him/Her as the
only Creator or God, in purity of one's heart, for the sake of principles
themselves, means to acknowledge the Absolute Holiness of the Creator. To be absolutely holy means to have no
aspects of the negative state within one's nature.
And to hallow
someone's name means to avoid ascribing any negativity to that Nature with the
full recognition that only the positive state resides within that Nature. This is what 'hallowed be Your name' means.
'Your kingdom
come.' The words 'Your kingdom' signify that the Absolute Truth belongs to the
Absolute Creator and no one else has any truth in oneself. This is the reason it says 'come.' This is an
invitation, from the position of free will and choice, to that truth to enter
the lives of those who have no truth in themselves and by themselves. Because it can come only from the One who is
that Absolute Truth in Oneself and by Oneself, the request is directed to
Him/Her who can send that truth into all others for the purpose of establishing
a favorable condition for the reception of love and good.
Love and good
cannot enter until there is wisdom and truth in which they can reside. After all, wisdom and truth are the forms of
expression and the containers of retention of that love and good. Thus, upon request (all requests must be by
free will and choice), love and good send out their wisdom and truth, which, in
turn, build a proper condition, foundation and container into which that love
and good can enter and remain on a solid foundation.
This is the reason
why the request 'Your kingdom come' precedes the request 'Your will be done.'
That will cannot be done on any other premises but only on read Divine Truth.
'Your will be
done.' This is an acknowledgment that all love, good and positive and useful
works belong to the One who is the Absolute Love, the Absolute Good and the Absolute Positive State.
At the same time,
this is an acknowledgment that no one in Creation can be loving, good and
positive by and in himself/herself.
Moreover, it means that only the will of the Absolute God is of love,
good and the positive nature. Everyone
else's will, in itself and by itself, does not contain these elements but is
only their potential receptacle.
In order to fill
one's will - the receptacle - with love, good and positiveness, one has to
invite God's will of the Absolute Love, Goodness and Positiveness to enter
one's life and to become the content of one's will so that one wills nothing
else but love, goodness and positiveness.
Again, the issue of an invitation is emphasized here because the word
'will,' by its very nature and structure, is free, reflecting the Absolute
Nature of the Absolute Will and its Absolute Freedom.
The Will of God
cannot be done in anyone's life until one invites it to be so by one's own free
will. If this were not the case, no need
would exist to pray to God and to invite His/Her Will to be done.
'On earth as it is
in heaven' signifies that the will of the Most Within or the Absolute
Inwardness of the Absolute State of the Creator is always to love, to give
goodness and to convey positiveness because It is always in the state of love,
goodness and positiveness. No other type
of Will of God exists. The word 'heaven'
corresponds to this meaning. The word
'earth,' in this particular connotation, corresponds to everything which is
outward of the state of inwardness ('heaven') where the Will of God is always
done.
However, the situation
is different with the process of outwardness ('earth') which is put into the
position of choice of reciprocity. As
you remember, Creation can be created only on the principle of freedom and
independency. From that position, it
must make a choice to invite or not to invite the Will of God to be done in
that state as it is always done in the inward state. Again, otherwise no need would exist for this
invitation.
In a more personal
connotation, these words also mean that the Will of God is always done in the
most within Spiritual Mind of each individual and the most within spiritual
degree of Creation. Because Creation, as
well as each unique individual, proceed from the most within level or their
core to the most without level of manifestation or the external mind ('earth')
and then into the conscious outward mind, the flow of that Will follows the
steps of this process of the creative effort.
The starting point of any creative effort in the positive sense is always
by and in the Will of God. The following
points, for the sake of freedom and independency, need to validate that Will of
God by inviting it to be done from the most within to the most without (Your
will be done on earth as it is in heaven').
Give us this day
our daily bread.' This is an acknowledgment of all in Creation that all their
talents, gifts, abilities and life in general and in each of its particulars is
coming from the Absolute Source of the Absolute Life - the Creator - and is
appropriated in a relative state to all its relative carriers and containers -
sentient entities - and through the sentient entities to all other forms,
manifestations and containers of life.
'Give us' means a
request that all necessary ingredients of life are continuously maintained by the
only one who can do so. 'This day' means
at each particular time, place, condition and state. 'Our' means that the given life
is appropriated to all sentient entities so that they have a personal,
private and intimate experience as though it is their own life and that they
are the source of that life, but nevertheless fully acknowledging that the
truth of the matter is that the source of their life is the Absolute God Most
High who is now The Lord Jesus Christ.
'Daily bread' means continuous supply of all-inclusive ingredients of
life (spiritual, mental and physical).
The reason why
everyone is expected to pray or to ask, on a daily basis, for all these things
is that each day has a different connotation, purpose and meaning. The difference of this situation requires a
new choice-making effort. Therefore, one
needs to reconfirm or recede from the choice of asking one's Creator to
continue supplying him/her with all necessities of life in an entirely new
condition (everyday is a new day!).
And forgive us our
debts' means the full recognition and acknowledgment of everyone in Creation
that they are not perfect because they are not absolute or gods. As mentioned before, even a person who
reached the highest possible spiritual levels and is almost like
God, is still relative and not absolute.
By the fact of his/her relative condition, that person is liable to make
mistakes or to draw incorrect conclusions.
When such things happen, one becomes indebted to one's Creator because
one did not do or did not understand something the way one was supposed
to. In order that such mistakes do not
end in the acceptance of the negative state and a subsequent fall out into the
Zone of Displacement, all sentient entities must evoke the law and principles
of forgiveness. By asking for
forgiveness, they are prevented and protected from this grave possibility.
Some humans
erroneously assume that people in the Heavens (the positive state), such as,
for example, angels, archangels, cherubim, seraphim, etc., cannot make mistakes
or are unable to make wrong conclusions about anything and that they are
perfect in their condition. The reality
however, is that no one is infallible and perfect but only the Absolute God -
The Lord Jesus Christ. Everyone else
below God's level, even that one who is the very first after God, is subject to
occasional fallibility.
However, the
difference between these people and humans and creatures of the Zone of
Displacement is that people in the positive state immediately recognize their
mistakes, reject them or correct them on the spot. By asking for forgiveness, they are prevented
from the danger of the consequences of such mistakes being appropriated to
them.
'As we forgive our
debtors' is a full recognition and acknowledgment that no one else is perfect
and that relationships among people are to be built not on expectation of
perfection but on mutual forgiveness and acceptance of this fact. Because no one is perfect, you cannot expect
from anyone a perfect behavior and attitude.
Again, by forgiving others and yourself (and this forgiveness has to
include yourself because you are indebted to yourself for not being perfect),
you are prevented and protected from falling out into the negative state's
judgmental and condemning attitude. Such
an attitude would exclude you from the positive state. In that case, you would fall out into the
Zone of Displacement.
And do not lead us
into temptation.' This statement signifies the acknowledgment that only the
Absolute God can protect and prevent one from being tempted to accept the
reality of the negative state as a decisive factor of one's life.
Now, this
statement, in its spiritual sense, does not imply that it is God who tempts
people, although the literal sense does give one such an incorrect impression. It is only a recognition and acknowledgment
of the fact that only by the Absolute Positive Power of one's God can one be
kept away from the temptation to activate the rejected idea of acceptance of
any other source of life other than The Lord Jesus Christ. This is clear from the following words of the
Prayer, 'but deliver us from the evil one.' This statement signifies to keep
one away from any need, desire, wish or tendency to accept that negative idea
and to identify oneself with its content and to will it. 'The evil one' means that idea. As you know, it was that idea that was
originally used by the pseudo-creators for the activation of the negative
state. The entire negative state appears
before the positive state as one ugly, deformed and mutilated evil looking
person (as was already revealed through Swedenborg). The request here is to be delivered from any
tendency to activate the negative state within one's own personal and private
life.
'For Yours is the
kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.' This is a recognition, acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact
that the Absolute Ownership of everything in Creation belongs to The Lord Jesus
Christ, The Most High at that time.
Notice, please, that the order in which these words follow is
reversed. First comes 'the kingdom;'
second comes 'the power' and third comes 'the glory.' 'Forever' means that the
Ownership will never cease.
Two reasons exist
why the reversed order is used, despite the fact that the true reality of
Creation and the Absolute Nature of the Most High requires the order from 'the
glory, to the power to the kingdom forever.
Amen.' One reason is that the Prayer was initiated from the position of
the outwardness of Creation. The
outwardness of Creation is the kingdom of the inwardness of the Creator (among
many other things). Everyone but the
Creator is perceived to be in the process of this outwardness. Only the Creator is self-perceived in the
State of the Absolute Inwardness.
Because the Prayer is directed to the Absolute State
of the Inwardness of the Creator from the position of Creation - the kingdom of
the Creator - there is a need to acknowledge first that the position from which
I pray belongs to my Creator. He/She is
the Absolute Owner of that position.
Another connotation of the word 'kingdom' is its correspondence to the
external or natural degree of Creation, as well as to the external mind of
every individual.
The reason why the
emphasis is on the external degree and on the external mind is because that
degree and that mind reflects the most outward position of the outward
Creation. This position is required to
acknowledge that its only Absolute Owner is the Creator. The denial of this fact on that level gives
an impetus, as you remember, for the activation of the negative state. In order to avoid the negative state, one
must acknowledge first that even that level of being and existence belongs
absolutely to the Creator.
The word 'power' corresponds
to the Absolute Mentality of the Creator, and also to His[Her intermediate
dimension of Creation and to the intermediate mind or mentality of every
individual. This is a confirmation,
recognition, acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact that the true Absolute
Owner of all of them is the Creator.
The word 'glory'
corresponds to the Absolute Spirit of the Creator. But it also corresponds to the spiritual
dimension of Creation and the most within Spiritual Mind of every individual. Again, this is a confirmation, recognition,
acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact that the Creator is the Absolute
Owner of all of them.
But there is
another reason why the word 'glory' was put at the end of this sequence. The word 'glory,' as applied to the Creator,
has a deeper mysterious and mystical connotation. It relates to the factor of inclusion of the
body-flesh of Jesus Christ within the Absolute Nature of the Creator, the
Creator becoming the totality of The Lord Jesus Christ. As you know, 'glorification' also means
divinization and hybridization of all elements in being and existence,
including the elements of the Zone of Displacement and planet Zero, and their
total unification, harmonization and oneness within that Nature.
At the time when
this Prayer was given to the members of the positive state, the process of this
vital and crucial divinization and hybridization had not been completed. It had just begun. Therefore, it was not appropriate at that
time to put the word 'glory' into the first place, where it actually
belongs. Also the Prayer does not
indicate that anything of the Zone of Displacement or planet Zero belongs to
the Creator. At that time, this was not
the case.
The Lord Jesus
Christ's Prayer, as recorded in Matthew, was given to the members of the
positive state at a tremendously important crossroad in the fate and destiny of
the entire Creation. A totally new
spiritual condition was coming into its being and existence, initiated by the
fact of the Most High's incarnation into the negative state in the form of
Jesus Christ. This act required a
formulation of a different approach in relatedness to the Creator from all
His/Her createes. This approach is
reflected in the internal sense of this Prayer as explained above.
At that time, by
the content and meaning of that Prayer, everyone in Creation was instructed
what to do and how to do it in order to prepare oneself for what was to come.
In actuality
however, the content and meaning of this Prayer defined an interim state and
process, which was initiated by the incarnation of Jesus Christ and was
completed at the time of the Most High becoming the fullness of The Lord Jesus
Christ (shortly before Christmas of 1987 in your time). The inner content and meaning of that Prayer
constituted the spiritual guidelines for the entire Creation, which were to be
followed to the end of this interim state and process. And the same is true about the inner content
and meaning of Jesus Christ's Prayer in its version as recorded in Luke
11:2-4. They have been applicable during
this interim state and process until this moment.
Before proceeding
with the formulation of the New Version of The Lord Jesus Christ's
Prayer, as relevant to the current New Spiritual Condition, let us
briefly look into the true meaning of the Luke version of this Prayer.
As mentioned
above, this version is formulated from the standpoint of the needs of the
members of the negative state who inhabited the Zone of Displacement and for
humans on planet Zero. This is a first
fundamental difference from the Prayer as recorded by Matthew. Matthew's version was solely for the members
of the positive state.
The second
difference is in the fact that the Luke version was formulated by a request and
not by mandate. At that point, The Lord Jesus Christ was not yet in charge of
the negative state. Therefore,
respecting the freedom of choice of its inhabitants to be negative, He had to
wait for such a request to be made.
'Our Father in
heaven 'signifies that no presence of any truth exists in the Zone of
Displacement and on planet Zero. The
truth is somewhere else. This is a
condition of exclusion of the Zone of Displacement from the true Creation. This is a condition of outsideness of
the extreme degree of the outwardness of Creation. The Absolute Truth has no part in that
condition but, instead, is situated 'outside' of its fake 'inwardness.' But it
also means a potential presence of the Creator - Father - Truth - in everyone's
ability to freely choose and to change.
The ability to
freely choose and to change constitutes everyone s heaven. In that heaven resides the Father - Truth;
the reason being that the only truth available to the negative state is the
truth that the negative state has no truth, that it was activated by a free
choice, and that by that choice, the condition of life of its activators
completely changed. It is also the truth
that, if the negative state were activated by the free choice of some sentient
entities, and by free choice they changed, by the same very principle, all
members of the negative state may and can, if they wish to, choose to recede
from the negative state and entirely change their lifestyle, bringing it into
an alignment with the positive state.
The fact of this
matter is spiritual truth. Because any
real truth is from the Absolute Truth - the Father - the Creator - and because
the Father-Creator is the Absolute Truth Himself/Herself, He/She is always in
His/ Her Truth, no matter where and when.
Again, this truth and that presence constitute the 'heaven,' or the most
within Spiritual Mind of everyone also in all the Hells, the entire Zone of
Displacement and on planet Zero.
The difference
between the members of the positive state and the members of the negative state
is that the members of the positive state face that truth and relate to it
face-to-face, whereas the members of the negative state do not face that truth
but have their face turned away from it and fully deny its existence or
presence.
Any step for changing
this situation, which is the negative state, must begin with turning one's face
to that truth, that is, with going inward into that presence. The first step of this very first step is the
acknowledgment that the truth, our Father, is in heaven, that is, in the state
of the deepest inwardness of one's sentient mind - in that ability to freely
choose and to change.
'Hallowed be your
name' in this case, signifies that one must approach the state of inwardness
with positive and good intent, for the sake of principle of free choice and
change, expressing a desire for recession from the negative state and for
conversion to the positive state. By
such an approach, one acknowledges the Absolute Holiness of the Nature of the
Creator and His/Her Absolute Truth - the Father - who does not contain and is
not an initiator of anything negative and false.
'Your kingdom
come' is a request for understanding and acceptance of truth into one's
conscious or external mind also because that mind is kept in darkness of
falsities of the negative state. Nothing
of the positive state can enter any regions of the external mind until those
falsities are removed. But they can be
removed only by free invitation for the truth to enter, in gradual slow steps,
into one's conscious awareness and be accepted as truths. By that acceptance, and to the degree of that
acceptance, the falsities are removed and immediately replaced by the real
truth.
Once this is
acknowledged, the invitation “your will be done' can follow. “Your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven,” requested from the position of the negative state, signifies a request
for elimination of the negative state in one 's mind and life (here signified
by the word 'earth') and replacing it with the positive state (signified here
by the word 'heaven'). This is an
invitation for the Creator - the Ruler of one's life - while even living in the
negative state, because the positive state - 'heaven' - as well as the negative
state - 'earth' - are not any particular place but a matter of one's attitude
and identity. Therefore, one can be in
one's spirit in heaven, while his/her body resides in the Hells, so-to-speak.
'Give us day by
day our daily bread 'is a request to be equipped with different necessary
ingredients of life congruent to the nature of the positive state. 'Day by day'
signifies to the extent of one's fullest potentials. 'Bread' is goodness of life and all its
gifts, talents and abilities. This is
also an important acknowledgment that even the dead life of the negative state
is possible only by permission of The Lord Jesus
Christ. Thus, the dead life of the
negative state depends absolutely on the life of the positive state, as the
life of the positive state depends absolutely on the Absolute Life of the Absolute
Lord Jesus Christ - the Creator.
'And forgive us
our sins' means the need to acknowledge that one is in the negative state in
the role of a full participant and supporter of that state by the style and
quality of one's life. To support and to
participate in the life of the negative state constitutes sin. Once one realizes that he/she sins by that
act, one is advised to ask for forgiveness and mercy, by which act one is
brought out of the state of sin.
'As we also
forgive everyone who is indebted to us. 'There is a mistake in the translation
of this line. The proper translation
should be 'as we also forgive everyone who sins against us.' What this
statement means is an acknowledgment that the members of the negative state
relate to one another from the position of manipulating, using, abusing,
misusing, defrauding, deceiving, etc., one another. To treat one another in this manner means to
sin against one another. Recognition and
acceptance of this fact that others do so from their own disposition and
negativity, and not by the Will of God, puts them into a position of being able
to forgive one another. By forgiving,
they become eligible to be forgiven by God and by others, once they convert to
the positive state.
'And do not lead us
into temptation. ' From the position of the negative state, being that it is
the state of outsideness, everything appears as if coming from the
outside. Thus, the blame is always put
on someone or something else. In this
connotation, because God is perceived as outside of the negative state (which
is true!), He/She is also perceived to be the one who, by His/Her very
existence, is the causative factor of any temptation. For, if God were not to exist, no one would
be out there to tell you that you are being tempted or that you are being led
into temptation. As Dostoyevsky noted in
his prolific book, Brothers Karamazov, 'if God does not exist, then
everything is permitted.' In that case, there is no such state as
temptation. Temptation signifies 'to desire
to do something which is not permissible.' If someone is out there who tells
you what is and what is not permitted, that one also defines the state of
temptation. Therefore, it is He/She who
leads you into temptation by the factor of this definition. Only from the position of the negative state,
up to this point, was it permitted to pray in this manner. The reality, of course, is that one is
tempted by one's own volition, by desiring to do something which is not of the
positive state.
'But deliver us
from the evil one' means here, a request for conversion from the negative
state, the state of evilness, to the positive state, to the state of
goodness. It also means a request for
protection from relapsing into the condition of the negative state. This request is a factor of complete
surrender to the Creator with the acknowledgment of the fact that one has no
power and no ability to do so by one's own effort. This step is well-conceived by the twelve
steps of Alcoholics Anonymous' philosophy on your planet.
As you noticed,
the Prayer of this version in Luke ends at this point. As mentioned above, at that time, the
negative state was not yet under the rule of The Lord Jesus Christ. Its impression was that it had the kingdom,
the power and the glory. The kingdom was
the kingdom of the pseudo-creators; the power belonged to the pseudo-creators
and the glory was their 'glory.' It also means that, at that time, the true
most within Spiritual Mind ('the glory') the true interior mind ('the power')
and the true external mind ('the kingdom') of the sentient entities of the
negative state were completely locked and inaccessible and replaced with the
pseudo-inner mind (the false glory), the pseudo-interior mind (the false power)
and the pseudo-external mind (the false kingdom).
The purpose of
this Prayer, in its inner sense and meaning, was to give to the members of the
negative state a means by which they could be prepared for eventual
salvation and conversion to the positive state and for survival during the
interim state until the new spiritual condition would be established. By having these guidelines for survival
available, the negative state could continue in its own life. However, as you know, since the beginning of
transmission of this portion of the New Revelation, this interim or
transitional period ended. That
beginning heralded the completion of the interim state, and establishment of a New Spiritual
State, Condition and
Process in the manner described throughout this book.
Because all
necessary requirements were met for the fulfillment of the purpose for which
the above two versions of The Lord's Prayer were formulated and established,
and because all new spiritual requirements for the new step in spiritual
progression are in place and grounded, as of this very moment, a
different formulation of this Prayer is introduced by The Lord Jesus Christ,
relevant to the nature of the current step in this process. As of this very moment, by the Authority of
The Lord Jesus Christ, from the position of His/Her Absolute New Nature, the
Lord's Prayer is being changed into the Prayer formulated by The Lord Jesus
Christ for all in Creation, in the Zone of Displacement and on planet
Zero. You are advised to pray in
this manner:
“Our Lord
Jesus Christ in heaven, on earth, in the sea and in the Zone of Displacement,
In
purity of our heart, with positive and good intent, we hallow Your Nature as
Absolutely Holy and Positive.
Your
Good and Truth come and be established permanently in all aspects of our life.
Your
will be done everywhere in being and existence and in the Zone of Displacement,
as it has always been done in heaven.
Give us
this day all necessary provisions for our daily life in accordance with the
nature of the positive state.
And
forgive us our problems and shortcomings, as we forgive the problems and
shortcomings of others. And let us not lead ourselves into any temptation, but
deliver us from the attraction to and identity with evils and falsities of the
negative state.
For
Yours is the glory and the power and the Kingdom and everything else forever,
to eternity.
Amen.”
'Our Lord Jesus
Christ' signifies that there is no other God or The Most High or the Creator
under any other name. This is signified
by the word our.' 'Lord' signifies the Absolute Unification, Oneness, Harmony
and Merger of all aspects of being and existence, including the elements of the
Zone of Displacement and planet Zero. It
also means the Absolute Parenthood of these elements and principles. 'Jesus' means Absolute Goodness, Absolute
Motherhood and Absolute Feminine principles.
'Christ' means Absolute Truth, Absolute Fatherhood and Absolute
Masculine principles.
By saying 'our
Lord Jesus Christ' you evoke the totality of the Absolute Being and Existence
of The Lord Jesus Christ, accepting His/Her Absolute Authority as the only One
Cod Most High Indivisible.
'In heaven' means
the presence of The Lord Jesus Christ in the spiritual dimension of His/Her
Creation in His/Her New Nature. It also
means His/Her presence, in that New Nature, in the most within Spiritual Mind
of each individual. 'On earth' means
His/Her presence in that New Nature in the intermediate dimension of His/Her
Creation and in the intermediate mind of each individual. 'In the sea' means the presence of The Lord
Jesus Christ in His/Her New Nature in the natural or external dimension of
His/Her Creation and in the external mind of each individual.
In the Zone of
Displacement' means the presence of The Lord Jesus Christ in His/Her New Nature
(the only way He/She could be present there) in all the Hells and on planet
Zero (through the Ten Spiritual Principles formulated in Chapter Twenty Four of
this book) and in all aspects of the pseudo-mind of the members of the negative
state and humans. This presence is for
the sole purpose of eventual salvation from and bringing out of the negative
state everyone who is trapped there by his/her own foolish choice.
In purity of our heart,
with positive and good intent, we hallow Your Nature as Absolutely Holy and
Positive” signifies the full acknowledgment and understanding that, although
there is now a full presence of The Lord Jesus Christ also in the
negative state, nothing of and from the nature of the negative state exists
within The Lord Jesus Christ. The
elements taken out of the Zone of Displacement and planet Zero were purified
from all evils and falsities, which are the nature of the negative state, and
were divinized. But, nevertheless, they
are the elements of the Zone of Displacement and planet Zero, void of any
negative connotation.
This statement
also means that, because of this New Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ, being
that it is also absolutely Holy and Positive, the only effective way by which
one can relate to Him/Her is from the position of the purity of one's heart,
that is, with positive and good intent, for the sake of principle. 'The purity of heart' means for the sake of
principle itself without any ulterior motives
'Your Good and
Truth come and be established permanently in all aspects Of Our life'
means the vital and crucial recognition, acknowledgment and acceptance of the
fact that one can never be good or have the truth by oneself but only from, by,
with and of The Lord Jesus Christ in His/Her New Nature. And that, thus, The Lord Jesus Christ, in
His/Her New Nature, is the only source of the true good and the real truth.
And because The
Lord Jesus Christ, by and through His/Her New Nature, is able to be present in
all aspects, levels, degrees, spheres and traits of one's mind, as well as of
everything else, the invitation is given that His/ Her Good and Truth fill all
aspects of one's life.
'Your will be done
everywhere in being and existence and the Zone of Displacement, as it has
always been done in heaven.' This is an invitation to The Lord Jesus Christ's
Love and Wisdom to be in full control not only of the positive state but also
of the negative state in the same manner as the case has always been in the
most within spiritual dimension of Creation and the most within Spiritual Mind
of each individual. This is also an
invitation to The Lord Jesus Christ to be in full control and charge, through
His/Her New Nature, of the entire Zone of Displacement and planet Zero.
'Give us this day
all necessary provisions for our daily life in accordance with the nature of
the positive state' is recognition, acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact
that the source of all gifts, talents, abilities and of life in general, in all
its spiritual, mental and physical aspects, is The Lord Jesus Christ in His/Her
New Nature, and that the real life can be established only in accordance with
the principles that rule and govern the nature of the positive state.
'And forgive us
our problems and shortcomings, as we forgive the problems and shortcomings of
others' means recognition and acceptance of the fact that no one is perfect
except for The Lord Jesus Christ in His/ Her New Nature.
Because of this
condition, one is liable to have problems, to make mistakes and to do things
which stem from oneself instead of from The Lord Jesus Christ. For this we are to ask The Lord Jesus Christ
to be forgiven and to be able to forgive others for being that way. This is also the acknowledgment of the fact
that one is not absolute, is not God and never will be, no matter what.
And let us not
lead ourselves into any temptation' means an invitation to The Lord Jesus
Christ to help us from being tempted by the negative state contained in that
idea of freedom to reject The Lord Jesus Christ and His/Her New Nature. This is also an acknowledgment that one
cannot do it by oneself being that one is not absolute or perfect. Only from the position of the Absolute State and Absolute Perfection can one be
protected from such temptations.
'But deliver us
from the attraction to and identity with evils and falsities of the negative
state' signifies a request to The Lord Jesus Christ to convert all in the
negative state to the positive state by removing any attraction to the ideas of
the negative state and any possibility of appropriation of these ideas into
one's personal identity and life. This
is also an acknowledgment that such deliverance is possible only by the New
Power of The Lord Jesus Christ vested in His/Her Absolute Nature.
'For Yours is the
glory and the power and the kingdom and everything else forever, to
eternity. Amen.' As you noticed, in this
concluding wording the sequence is placed in proper order. Now this proper order can be fully
established, actualized, realized and manifested because now the completion of
the process of glorification, that is, divinization and hybridization of the
human body-flesh into the totality of the Nature of The Lord Jesus Christ,
became full reality.
Therefore, this
statement is the recognition, acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact that
all elements in their totality ('the glory') belong to The Lord Jesus Christ,
as well as all dimensions of His/Her Creation (the power') and the entire Zone
of Displacement ('the kingdom'), as well as planet Zero ('everything else')
belong only to The Lord Jesus Christ forever, to eternity. It is also the confirmation of the bilateral
government of the Divine Providence of The Lord Jesus Christ, both from the
position of the most within to the most without and from the position of the
most outside of Creation to the most low of the Zone of Displacement, as well
as to the most inward state.
This is a
completion of the full circle and re-connection of all elements in being and
existence, and the return to Creation of those elements of Creation which were
stolen, misused, abused and perverted by the pseudocreators and their
followers.
'Amen' means a
full confirmation that it is so and that this is the real truth.'
Now, the content,
the meaning, the quality and the validity of this newly formulated Prayer will
continue to be in force until the end of this cycle of time, that is, until the
time when the negative state and its Zone of Displacement will be permanently abolished
and eliminated. At that time, this
Prayer will be reformulated and changed.
There are three
major, most significant mysteries that a-re contained or placed by The Lord
Jesus Christ into this New Prayer. Some
limited aspects of these mysteries will be revealed in the next Chapter.
As of now,
everyone who reads this Chapter, and who chooses by his/her free will and
choice, is advised to incorporate this New Prayer into his/ her daily process
of going inward. For that purpose, one
is advised to memorize it and meditate on it on a daily basis.
He/She who has
ears to hear and to listen, let Him/Her hear and listen to what The Lord Jesus
Christ reveals in this Chapter.”
