The following interpretation of the Pater Noster, copied from the writings of “ZARIEL”, will be of interest to Mystics. It reveals the mystic education received by Christ, during his boyhood in Egypt, and refers to the annual progress of the Lord, or Sun, through the Eternal Space, as well as the infinity of the recession of the equinoxes.
“Our Father who art in Heaven” is the salutation to the Creator, or Sun, at its origin at the first point in Aries, crossing the equator, at the ascendant, or place from whence arises the “Name”, thus the Sun in:
