The Prayer of Paul Interpreted
As you may be aware, Paul was not one of Jesus’ disciples, therefore he would not have received the mysteries from him or any other personal teachings. You should also be aware that Paul was in the beginning, an enemy of the disciples, and against Christian teachings. It was not until he had a revelation on the road to Damascus that he changed his mind about Christianity. He then began gathering knowledge and started preaching the gospel according to his own understanding.
There is no doubt that there was animosity between Paul and the disciples, because of Paul’s envy of the disciples having known Jesus personally. It was plain to see that Paul wanted to become a Christ and replace Jesus as the leader of Christians, a position that would have given him much power. In the Prayer of Paul we see once more that he is lusting after and even begging for power. It can be reasoned that at the time of the writing of the prayer Paul was experiencing the tribulation.
It can be seen that Paul’s prayer represents a plea by Paul’s soul to the righteous mind that gave birth to his soul in the beginning, and he wants his soul to be reborn in its original state of perfection.
Let us take a look at that prayer now and see how I interpret it.
Grant me your mercy.
My redeemer, redeem me,
for I am yours.
Interpretation:
What remains of the prayer of Paul begins with the soul of Paul pleading to his righteous mind, to grant him mercy and end his torment. He then asks for his righteous mind to take him back, stating that it is to the righteous mind that he belongs.
I came from you.
You are my mind:
give me birth.
Interpretation:
Paul’s soul then affirms that it came into being from the righteous mind, which is also known as Heaven, the Mother of all souls. Paul’s soul then reveals what he is speaking to, and that is his mind. He then asks for his righteous mind to give him birth, in other words, the soul of Paul is asking to be reborn in its original and perfect state, as it was in the beginning.
You are my treasure:
open for me.
Interpretation:
It is in the righteous mind that the most precious and everlasting treasure is both found and stored, and here we see the soul of Paul knocking on Heaven’s door.
You are my fullness:
accept me.
Interpretation:
Until the righteous mind accepts the soul there will always be a feeling of not being complete, as if there is a space yet to be filled. The righteous mind will not accept any soul that has not been emptied of unrighteous desire.
You are my rest:
give me unlimited perfection.
Interpretation:
It is within the righteous mind that Love, Truth and Understanding are found, and it is there that peace is experienced. Yet again the soul of Paul asks for unlimited perfection, but the righteous mind does not bow to the demands of the ego.
I pray to you,
you who exist and preexisted,
in the name exalted above every name,
through Jesus the anointed,
lord of lords,
king of the eternal realms.
Give me your gifts, with no regret,
through the human child,
the spirit,
the advocate of truth.
Interpretation:
The soul of Paul once more begins asking the righteous mind which was, which is, and which is to come, and this time he asks in the name of the perfected son of the Father (righteous desire) and the Mother (the righteous mind). In other words, he asks in the name of Jesus the anointed, the perfected soul, the faithful witness, the Way, the Truth and the life.
Give me authority, I beg of you,
give healing for my body, as I beg you,
through the preacher of the gospel,
and redeem my enlightened soul forever, and my spirit,
and disclose to my mind the firstborn of the fullness of grace.
Interpretation:
Here the soul of Paul is begging for authority over the powers and principalities. In other words, the spirits that have tormented his soul, and he begs in the name of Jesus. He then begs for his soul in its original and first form to be redeemed so that he may have eternal life. He then asks that the image of his soul in the beginning be revealed to his mind so that he can see what it was like. How much will he have to bear on seeing that image and comparing it to his present one?
Grant what eyes of angels have not seen,
what ears of rulers have not heard,
and what has not arisen in the hearts of people,
who became angelic,
and after the image of the animate god
when it was formed in the beginning.
I have the faith of hope.
Interpretation:
That which the angels of Paul’s soul had not yet seen is the first and true image of the God/Self.
That which the ruling spirits of the kingdom of Paul’s soul had not yet heard is knowledge of the God/Self.
The soul of Paul then asks to be granted what has not arisen in the hearts of people who became angelic, (awakened to the spirit). That which had not yet arisen was perfect faith and hope.
The soul of Paul then confirms his faith and hope in his search for his image as it was formed in the beginning. It is then that the end becomes the same as the beginning, and all things are made new.
And bestow upon me
your beloved, chosen, blessed majesty,
you who are the firstborn, the first-conceived,
and the wonderful mystery of your house.
Interpretation:
The soul of Paul then asks for Christhood and to know the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven.
For yours is the power and the glory and the praise and the greatness, forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer of Paul (the) Apostle [or, Messenger].
In Peace.
Christ is holy.
Interpretation:
He finishes his prayer with a humble statement to Love, Truth and Understanding.
Note:
Paul’s whole prayer involved asking for power, yet it is written; whoever has power let him give it up. It is sad to say that it is obvious that Paul wanted to take Jesus’ place and become the head of Christianity, but unfortunately that authority was taken by another Roman, and Christianity has suffered until this day.
The dogs will sleep no more in the manger, and loving souls will no more be deprived of Love, Truth and Understanding.
Love and blessings,
William
Thank you William, this has confirmed for me what I have always felt. That the Church focussed more on Paul’s writing than Jesus words and that Paul was not a disciple of Jesus, nor had the authority to teach. Because all his writings felt self righteous, power hungry, and some in conflict with Jesus, such as when he referred in his letters to the church about payments and donation of money that they lacked.
