Nice topic. What is important is who we are praying for and who we believe in.

My research shows that Amon/Amun/Amen ‘The Hidden One’ was a local Moon/lunar deity of Thebes (originally Waset before it was renamed after the Greek city) in Egypt that was elevated by the growing power and wealth of Thebes to take over Ra’s position as ‘Father Amen, Supreme God of Egypt’, and later hijacked the Egyptian Sun throne as Amen Ra. Thirteen stone obelisks (one for each of the original lunar months of the year) were transported to Rome from Egypt during the rule of the Roman Empire. Some of the obelisks weighed more than 300 tons. Was the power of the Moon god moved to Rome under the influence of Amen?
If it is true that the un-inscribed obelisk in the centre of St Peter’s Piazza was originally dedicated to Amen then the obelisk (phallix) could represent the domineering Moon (father)force that eclipses the face of the Son/sun (four spoke wheel), stands over the Mother (eight spoke wheel) and still receives recognition after the utterance of prayer: “for ever and ever, Amen”. Take a look at the floor plan of St Peter’s Square.

Very interesting. Im especially interested in the Mason paragraph. I am now curious to find out the reason behind why the have excluded “Amen” from their prayer.

Great and living Aten, ordaining life, vigorously alive, our father. Our wall of millions of cubits, our reminder of eternity, our witness of what is eternal. Who fashions himself with his own hands, whom no craftsman has devised. Who is established in rising and setting each day ceaselessly. Whether he is in heaven, or on earth, every eye beholds him without hindrance, whilst he fills the land with his rays and enables everyone to live. With seeing whom, our eyes are satisfied daily in this Temple of the Aten and fills it with his own self by means of his rays, beauteous with love, and embraces us with them in life and power forever. — Ancient Egyptian Prayer

The pictre of “King Tut”’s mask is really not him but his brother. Tut took the mask to use for himself. (Thought you’d like to know.)

There is more compelling evidence that it is derived from the Sanskrit word Aum. Aum is the almighty sound of the universe which represents the manifestation of the one true power.

Wow! And I always thought for sure this word was exclusive to the Bible, of Hebrew origin only. And, from what I’ve read about the Masons and their historic perspective, I figured they would have their own reasons for not using it, other than they are not really a religious organization. Very intriguing stuff!
