Art, Architecture & Urban Design

Paternoster Square lies near the top of Ludgate Hill, the highest part of the City of London:

You enter Paternoster Square through the actual Temple Bar gate designed by Christopher Wren that I spoke about in my London video episode. Temple Bar was moved to this location in 2004. Don’t underestimate the power of this symbol:

St. Paul’s cathedral, also designed by Wren, is immediately adjacent to Paternoster Square.

Paternoster Square’s 24 radiating spokes remind one of the hours in the day. St. Paul’s height of 365 feet reminds one of the days in the year.

Steven Skinner revealed in his book Sacred Geometry: Deciphering the Code, that the length of St. Paul’s is the same as the height of the Washington Monument in DC. I have found it also equals the height of the Millennium Tower in Portsmouth:

Pater noster means “Our father” in Latin.

The Paternoster Column rises 23m above the Square. One meter for every chromosome our father contributed to our genetics. The gold leaf covered urn atop the column is known as the flaming pineapple, perhaps referring to the pineal gland associated with states of enlightenment accessible to our father on high.

Dr. Mark Gray points out that the dome and column are a “conjoining of male and female energy in architecture or symbols.” He identifies St. Paul’s dome as a Bab and the Paternoster Square Column as an El.

Babel is made of 2 words, Bab and El. Bab is a Feminine word. In common are Baby, Babushka, Babble, Booby, Bubble. Soft, round and feminine. El is Masculine. The ancient Canaanite god was El. An El is an “L”. 2 lower case “L’s” side by side looks like “ll” This is EL-even or Eleven. So an El is a Penis. An El-ephant is an animal with a long penis like trunk. El-ectricity is a powerful male energy. The El-ite is the male power structure. An El-evator rises like a male member. To El-ope is to run away with a penis. – Mark Gray

Speaking of penises, why is the shepherd naked? Don’t answer that. Paternoster Square has but a single sculpture entitled Shepherd and Sheep:

If our father is a shepherd then perhaps we are seen as sheeple.

The London Stock Exchange is located in Paternoster Square. It was relocated there from Threadneedle Street and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 27 July 04 who personally unveiled the permanent dynamic sculpture called The Source in the atrium on that same day.

The Source consists of a cube of 9x9x9 spheres suspended on cables running up and down the atrium which is 32 meters in height (of course).

These spheres, controlled by a computer running Python scripts, can move themselves independently of each other, forming dynamic shapes, characters and fluid-like motions that reflects the nature of the stock market itself. The Source is broadcast every morning on television to an estimated global audience of 80 million people. -Source

I couldn’t make up a better masonic hyper-dimensional monument to the Ennead if I tried. It even has pythons thrown in for Christ’s sake.

Speaking of Christ, the distance from the Paternoster Square Column to the Egyptian obelisk in St. Peter’s Square is 888 miles. Really.

The numeric sum of the letters spelling Jesus in Greek isopsephy is 888.

Iesous = I (10) + e (8) + s (200) + o (70) + u (400) + s (200) = 888

Let’s not forget that Pater Noster is the most important prayer to Catholics. It is the Lord’s Prayer.

The Lord’s Prayer by James Joseph Jacques Tissot (1886)

Here is Amen, the hidden one (maybe you can see why?), who rose to power in Egypt after the expulsion of the Hyksos. Praises of Amen on stelae are strikingly similar in language to those later used in the reign of Akhenaton. Amen’s position as King of Gods developed to the point of virtual monotheism where other gods became manifestations of him. With Osiris, Amen-Ra is the most widely recorded of the Egyptian gods. -Source

And now for something completely different, Paternoster has another Square.

The Sator Square is a magic word square containing a Latin palindrome featuring the words SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS written in a square so that they may be read top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, left-to-right, and right-to-left.:

The earliest known appearance of the square was found in the ruins of Pompeii which was buried in the ash of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. It is possible to write a horizontal and a vertical ‘Pater Noster’ as an anagram of the sator square, forming a Greek cross.

The two As and two Os which remain are then taken as Alpha and Omega.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. -Revelation 1:8

I am all that has been, and is, and shall be. My veil no mortal hath ever raised. -Isis

Here are some Latin definitions:

The divine progenitor moves stealthily towards mastery of work in a whirlwind.

French coin from the 1680s with inscription that says “It is here at an opportune time.”

Is our father / slave master an ET?
