The Lord's Prayer: An Esoteric Study

All formulas for meditation in the world's great religious societies throughout history have had their origins in spiritual science. Analyze every true prayer that exists—word for word—and you will find it to be no arbitrary stringing together of words. Never has a mere blind impulse been followed to string together so many beautiful words. Not at all; rather, the great wise men have adopted these prayer forms from the wisdom teaching that is now called spiritual science. Every true form of prayer was born of this great knowledge; and the great Initiate Who founded Christianity—Christ Jesus—had in mind the seven principles of human nature when he taught His prayer, expressing in it the seven-principled nature of man.
