These are the hieroglyphics of Ptah’s name. The square or rectangular figure is the letter P. The half circle is the letter T. The rope symbolizes the two serpents, and is the letter H. This is how you write Ptah in hieroglyphics. This is how we spell in hieroglyphics Ptah, the Father.
The Pater Noster is Ptah Noster, because indeed when we investigate the symbol of Ptah, we find what Madam Blavatsky states in The Secret Doctrine,
“Ptah the son of Kneph in the Egyptian Pantheon is the principle of Light and Life through which the creation or rather evolution took place; the Egyptian Logos and creator, the Demiurgos. A very old deity, as, according to Herodotus he had a temple erected to him by Menes, the first king of Egypt. He is giver of life and the self born and the father of Apis, the sacred bull, conceived through a ray from the Sun. Ptah is thus the prototype of Osiris, a later Deity.
“Herodote said that he is the father of Kabiri, the mystery-gods and the Targum of Jerusalem tells: the Egyptians called the Wisdom of the First Intelligence the name of Ptah. Ptah is Maat, the divine wisdom, though from another aspect he is Svabhavat, the self created substance. As a prayer addressed to him in the ritual of the dead says: After calling Ptah “father of all fatherhood and of all gods, generator of all the human beings produced by his substance. “Thou art without father, being, engendered by thy own will; thou art without mother, being born by the renewal of thine own substance from whom proceeds substance.” – H. P. Blavatsky
The letter P is the sephirah Kether, a symbol of “the Father.” The sephirah Chokmah is the letter T, the cross, the Son; the sephirah Chokmah is the Christ in Christianity that descends with his cross in order to work. The letter H is the Holy Spirit, or as we say in Kabbalah: Iod Hei Vav, and Hei. This second letter Hei in Iod Hei Vav Hei symbolizes the Solar Absolute. Thus, Iod Hei Vav Hei is what we call in Egyptian terms Ptah Ra.
So, from the union of those two words or archetypes, Ptah and Ra, we spell the word Patar, which is the sacred name of Peter the Apostle, which is always represented with the letters PTR. Behold here the secret of this archetype or symbol, which abides in each one of us. So, always visualize these archetypes within, since there is not a single human being without Ptah Ra.
In other lectures we explain that Ptah is what we call the Glorian, the breath of the Absolute eternally emanating in the first moment in order to enter into the universe for its development. That breath of the Absolute is light, but a unity of light, this is why in Greek it is called monad (“unity”). Within that monad—which is that light, Aur in Hebrew, and Ra in Egypt—we find Ptah, P T H, meaning: spiritual atoms of Father, Son and Holy Spirit within.
Ra and Ptah together are the number four, which is the Holy Tetragrammaton (Iod Hei Vav Hei). Ptah symbolizes the Holy Trinity, and together with Ra, the solar light, is the Tetragrammaton which works in every human organism. That light descends from above and places itself in the sexual gonads with its two keys. That is why you find that Ptah has two keys. The right key: the man, and left key: the woman. By crossing them, we build power. That is why it is said that Ptah is the creator in itself.
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my (Πατρος – Patros) Father (Πτα – Ptah) which is in heaven.
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art (Πέτρος – Petros) Peter, and upon this (Πέτρα – Petra) rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the (κλείς – kleis) keys of (Malkuth) the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” – Matthew 16: 16-19
