The next thought-concentration in the Lord's Prayer is expressed by the words "Hallowed be thy name"! For God's name to become "holy" to a being, he must have the feeling or experience that "everything is very good". To the degree that one does not have this feeling but holds doubts as to the perfection of the inmost divine structure of the universe or life, to that same degree one is in disharmony with the eternal Father. Here one fails to appreciate his perfection and indirectly stamps him as being imperfect. The principle is not changed by the fact that the stamping of the Godhead as imperfect is disguised by the concept or the superstition of "the Devil", which means the belief that all the supposed imperfection, which is also expressed as "evil", has an originator other than the Godhead.
      It shows, however, to the developed spiritual scientist or seeker after truth, an image of God, which is merely a copy of the consciousness of an ordinary terrestrial human being. Such a being has enemies by whom he may be persecuted and with whom he will be more or less at war. He more or less wishes to revenge himself on or punish his persecutors; is it not just these imperfect tendencies in the consciousness of terrestrial Man which overshadow or darken the image of God? Is not the "Devil" the Godhead's greatest adversary or "enemy number one"? Is not anger and indignation against this being, as well as persecution of him and those "children of God" he has "seduced", considered "holy" and "just"? Is not "eternal damnation" the deserved punishment for this activity, which expresses "hostility towards God"? What a brilliant and perfect expression of the culmination of terrestrial Man's malice and thirst for revenge! What a darkened conception of the eternal, omniscient Godhead whose dazzling love, just like the sun, shines on everything and everyone, on rich and poor, on young and old, on human beings, animals, plants and minerals and whose sparkling high intellectuality has not been able to find or demonstrate anything anywhere in the universe which was not "very good"! Beings to whom this absolute image of God, culminating in love, has been darkened through a belief in the Devil, his helpers and eternal Hell, truly need to have the name of God "hallowed". What a divine blessing that these beings have also learned the "Lord's Prayer"! Because without knowing it in the second thought-concentration they pray for "cosmic clear-sightedness" so that they may be able to see through absolutely everything which might keep them fettered to a primitive and imperfect view of the eternal originator and all-pervading Godhead of the universe. Only through the granting of this prayer can this clear-sightedness have its seat in the consciousness of the one who prays, which allows the Godhead to appear in such a high intellectual purity and culmination of love that His name in the same consciousness can only be the quintessence of "holiness" and the result of this "holiness", i.e. the universe appearing as a combination of caresses. Only in this way may the divine words "Everything is very good" shine and glisten unshakably as an absolute eternal truth, and solely through the total acknowledgement of this truth can the Godhead's name be truly or absolutely "hallowed".
