A spiritual perspective on how to establish the kingdom of heaven in our lives, now.
What does it mean to you? Is this a generic prayer that anyone can use, anytime we feel like it? Or, is it an incredibly powerful prayer that once we know how to utter it with awareness and intent, it can transmute us forever? Our Father who art in heaven
Who is this Father we are praying to? And where exactly is heaven? Is it up in the sky somewhere? Can it be a feeling in our hearts and minds? Hallowed be Thy Name
Do we know God’s name so that we may hallow it? How can we find out what this name is? If God has a name, isn’t that a limitation, a confinement? Thy kingdom come
What exactly is this kingdom and why are we asking for it to come? Is the Kingdom of God the same as the Kingdom of Heaven? Do we know what we are asking for? Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
What is God’s will? Is there any other will than that of God’s and can this other will be expressed instead of God’s will? Are there two wills, one on earth and the other in heaven? Give us this day our daily bread
Does this mean we do not have to earn our livelihood? Do we just ask for it instead? Besides, why are we limiting ourselves to bread only? What about some meat and vegetables as well? Even better, how about a sumptuous meal and a lavish dessert while we are at it? And lead us not into temptation
Who leads us into temptation? Is it God or the Devil? If it is the Devil, why are we asking God not to lead us into temptation? Isn’t that what the Devil does? But deliver us from evil
What exactly is evil? And if God does deliver us from evil, does it mean that we do not face evil anymore? How can we pray for something, if everything is determined by natural law? Are we asking God to put aside these natural laws in order to favor us and grant our request? Why do we need to pray if God is Omniscient and knows what we need before we ask Him? Why do we pray if as God’s children we already have everything we need? Christ instructed us to go into our room, shut the door and pray to our Father in secret. Why do we have so much group prayer and in public places such as churches, synagogues, mosques and even schools? Obviously, there must be some deeper and hidden meaning to what Christ said. This book reveals the mystery and power of the Lord’s Prayer based on the Syriac Aramaic. You will be shocked to discover all that is hidden in this one-of-a-kind prayer. Understanding this prayer and uttering it properly will not only heal us, it will also liberate us from childish concepts of sin, temptation and the concepts of good and evil.
