When Jesus taught his disciples the Lord’s Prayer (“Our Father, which art in heaven”), he introduced words that billions of people have recited for millennia. But according to spiritual master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, most of us only scratch the surface of these profound phrases.
In this video extract, Omraam reinterprets the first verse of this foundational prayer through a cosmic and esoteric lens, bridging ancient mysticism with everyday spirituality.
The full commentary on the Lord’s prayer can be found in the first chapter of The True Meaning of Christ’s Teaching.
A New Perspective on God
For his time, Jesus introduced a revolutionary shift in consciousness. Instead of presenting the Divine as a distant, fearsome authority figure demanding appeasement, he revealed God as a “Father” to all of humanity. This transformed the human relationship with the sacred from one governed by fear to one rooted in unconditional love, closeness, and familial connection.
The Kabbalistic Connection
Omraam goes beyond traditional theological boundaries by connecting the mention of “Heaven” in the prayer to the esoteric framework of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. In this view, Heaven is not just a metaphysical afterlife; it is an active, structured cosmos comprising the 10 Sephirot and ascending angelic hierarchies.
Our True Spiritual Potential
What does it mean that God is in “Heaven”?Omraam emphasizes that if the divine source dwells in the heights of Heaven, and we are considered the sons and daughters of the Divine, human beings possess that very same potential to dwell there. Spiritual practice becomes the conscious process of elevating our thoughts, feelings, and consciousness to match that divine residence.
