When Nikola Tesla was at the height of his fame in the early twentieth century, and when American and international newspapers wrote that he was the world’s greatest scholar, Tesla’s friend, the American poet Johnson, asked him to summarize his life philosophy. Tesla accepted the offer and wrote a wonderful essay on how, throughout his early childhood, he had sought the question of increasing human energy. He stated that he was deeply amazed and delighted when, after many years and decades of searching, he finally found the answer. The answer was standing next to him all this time – in Christianity, and in the Lords’s prayer. In this prayer “Our Father” Nikola found the best generator of human energy.
Prayer “Our Father” can be interpreted in various ways, and in every layer of prayer there is always a new and hidden meaning. Here’s what you can discover in the words of “Our Father” Prayer!
"Our Father"
When you say these words, you acknowledge that he is our heavenly Father, but at the same time the father of your servant and wage-earner, your sick neighbor and mortal, because you have been commanded by the Son of God, the supreme bearer of truth about God and men, to say, “Our Father “And not” My Father. “
However, there is another view, which reads as follows:
In the prayer “Our Father” is expressed nothing but the human soul – when it is properly elevated to such a degree that it can be called as such, because its origin is Divine. We are part of Divinity. By prayer one should ascend to the developmental sense of his seven-fold nature in times of need, and the seven prayers express a spiritual-scientific influence on human nature.
Who art in Heaven
It means that where our Father is, There is Our Fatherland. Gentiles who see their parent only in this material world, whether as a human being or as a river or as the sun and the moon, cannot even believe in any other homeland than in the earthly. The land of the fatherland is great, and the Lord said, “Where your treasure is, there is your heart.”
But it can also mean this:
It points to the deepest foundation of human nature, the most hidden being of man, which according to Christian esotericism belongs to the spiritual realm. The first three pleas relate to the three higher members of human nature, to the divine content of man: “Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come.”
The following are the first three pleas:
Hallowed be Thy name
May all our affairs in this transient life be sanctified by the name of God. May our social order be addressed and covered by the name of God.
And they interpret it like this:
In the kingdom, Divinity appears in infinite variety, and individual beings are distinguished by their being given a name, which is not only a mere name but also an essential determination in the sense of secret science.
Thy kingdom come
The kingdom of God cannot be distinguished from the reign of God. The empire comes with the emperor. It would be nonsense to expect an empire and reject an emperor. In the church prayer to the “King of Heavenly Comforter” the believers ask the Emperor Spirit to come: “Come and settle in us.” The meaning of both prayers is clear: The Kingdom of God will come when the King God comes. In praying for the Kingdom of God, we are in fact asking for the most perfect authority, and in asking for the coming of the Emperor God, we are asking for the coming of the most perfect Ruler over ourselves.
Or:
The whole universe is brought to life by universal will, which is expressed in infinite diversity. This process of unfolding diversity, that infinite multiplication of Divinity – is called everywhere in the secret or spiritual science of the kingdom. The kingdom depicts in an infinite variety the being of Divinity.
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
In the spiritual world of heaven, the perfect will of God rules. But this rule of the will of God is not forcibly imposed, but the spirits of light voluntarily adopt it, subordinating their will to the will of God as the only infallible one.
As well as:
The life of the universe comes from Divine emanation. The whole universe is enlivened by a universal will that is expressed in infinite diversity. Will is therefore the center.
And then the following four pleas say this:
Give us this day our daily bread;
Just as we do not say, My Father, thus we also do not say my bread. The Father is common to all the sons of God and the gifts of the Father are common. This is the first moral-economic principle for social order; moral because we acknowledge that bread is from God, and economically because the bread that God gives belongs to everyone.
But there is this view:
It refers to our physical body that we can view as part of the material part of our planet. Its substance is taken from parts of the planet and it will return to it. It also warns us that we are living in the present moment, because we are looking for food for now, for today.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us;
God emphatically demands this obligation from us. He will forgive us as we forgive. But it is crazy to fear this obligation and this condition. For we owe infinitely more to God than all the world can owe us.
AND:
This plea is for the etheric body and we must also view it as part of what surrounds us. You should know that in the astral body there are all urges, lusts and passions. The etheric body has more permanent and lasting mental properties. All that is slowly evolving, lasting tendencies, lasting qualities of temperament, lasting habits, all anchored in the etheric or life-giving body. Everywhere in the secret science, errors against the community originating in the etheric body have been characterized as debt.
And lead us not into temptation
To tempt means to interrogate. If it were not for sin, there would be no trial. But we feel weak and ask God not to put us to the test because we will fall and fail. Earthly authority and carnal desire, as soon as they are conceived in men, men lose the vision of the universal Father in Heaven and fall into desperate and destructive selfishness, they begin to celebrate their name above God. And do not lead us into temptation – in a positive sense, it means to save us from temptation. That is, save us from ourselves.
And another point of view:
Everything that changes easily and quickly is anchored to the astral body, with all urges, lust and passions in it. There are all the joys and sorrows and all that melts in the human soul. The sins of a more individual nature, committed by man as a distinct personality, arise from the properties of the astral body. The possibility of an astral body error is called temptation. Due to temptation, the individual commits some personal sin.
But deliver us from the evil one
We pray to the Father of heaven to deliver us from Satan, who is the bearer of all evil. It blinds people and leads blindness from illusion to illusion, both in personal and social life. Thus, from a long time the satan whispered to the people. And people listened to it thousands of times, shed brotherly blood a thousand times, blasphemed their heavenly Father, and fell disappointed a thousand times.
And for the end:
There is still the error of the human “I”, the true personality. Self-love has entered the human body and as a result man has become an egotistical being, the “I” follows all the urges and inclinations of the body. The word evil is never used in mystical science for anything other than the error of the human “I” or our soul.
