Essene Gospel of Peace teaches Holy Communions

8-24-00
There is so much discipline when first starting the path that I often lose my focus. I'm going to start some daily ritual to help keep myself centered on the path. I have chosen for morning and evening the two daily communions of the Essenes; and at noon each day I will meditate on the Essene Sevenfold Peace. The communions and the Sevenfold Peace are recorded in the
Essene Gospel of Peace. Book I, II, III, IV

"These ancient communions or invocations are ways of linking to natural and cosmic forces. Through the angelic realms, we are able to draw energy for healing, rejuvenation and spiritual growth from that Unlimited Source. Practiced daily they offer the opportunity to keep our focus on Love, Truth and Beauty, Trust, Harmony and Peace."

"With the first conscious breath of morning, we call upon the Earthly Mother and Her Angelic Forces; that first thought is empowering, especially when we recall that thought several times throughout the morning. With the last conscious breath of evening, we call upon the Heavenly Father and His Angelic Forces; that last thought before sleep sows the seed for our subconscious to harvest abundant blessings throughout the night that will manifest in the creative energies of our lives."

All that follows is taken from, The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book II, III and IV, by Edmond B. Szekely

And Jesus spoke:
"So we have inherited a Holy Land,
A place within us,
Where we may build our Holy Temple,
And even as the temple is raised,
Stone by stone,
So will I give you those stones."

"The Holy Temple can be built,
Only with the Ancient Communions,
Those which are spoken,
Those which are thought,
And those which are lived."

"The Communions are a bridge,
Between man and the Angels,
And like a bridge,
Can be built only with patience,
Yea, even as the bridge over the river,
Is fashioned stone by stone,
As they are found by the waters edge."
[What you choose to do is important, but doing what you choose to do from then on is more important. Decide what to do, then do it, until the goal is won.]

"To lift your eyes to heaven
When all men's eyes are on the ground,
Is not easy.
To worship at the feet of angels
When all men worship only fame and riches,
Is not easy.
But the most difficult of all
Is to think the thoughts of angels,
To speak the words of angels,
And to do as angels do."

Jesus, Essene Gospel of Peace

Prologue: (To be thought or spoken before each communion.)
I enter the Eternal and Infinite Garden of mystery,
My spirit in oneness with the Heavenly Father,
My body in oneness with the Earthly Mother,
My heart in harmony with my Brothers, The Sons of Men,
Dedicating my spirit, my body, and heart,
To the pure and saving Teachings.

Therefore will I never hide myself
From thee.

Friday Morning
Angel of Air, Holy messenger of the Earthly Mother, enter deep within me, that I may know the secrets of the wind and the music of the stars.
Breath long and deeply,
That the Angel of Air may be brought within you.
For the rhythm of thy breath is the key to knowledge,
Which doth reveal the Holy Law.
No man may come before the Face of God,
Whom the Angel of Air letteth not pass.
Thy body must breathe the air of the Earthly Mother,
As the spirit must breathe the Holy Law,
Of the Heavenly Father.
Sacred is the Angel of Air,
Who doth cleanse all that is unclean,
And giveth to all evil-smelling things a sweet odor.
We worship thy Holy Breath.

Friday Noon
Blessed is the Child of Light, who doth seek the Heavenly Father, for he shall have eternal life.

With the Heavenly Father
Hath entered the sanctuary
Of the Holy Law,
And hath made a covenant with God
Which shall endure forever.
Know this peace with the mind,
Desire this peace with thy heart,
Fulfill this peace with thy body.

Though heaven and earth may pass away,
Not one letter of the Holy Law
Shall change or pass away.
For in the beginning was the Law,
And the Law was with God,
And the Law was God.
May the Sevenfold Peace Of the Heavenly Father
Be with thee always.

The communions of the, Essene Gospel of Peace, are ancient sacred writings and should be revered. Saying them at the appropriate times and in the proper fashion was important to to the student to condition and uplift their mind. But, more important, was the fact that saying them in the proper manner proved to the attending Angels that the student could discipline themselves to do so over a period of time.

It isn't so important what the seeker chooses to do, as far as ritual goes, what is important... is that they carry out faithfully, what they have set out to do. Over a period of time, this proves, that the person has the discipline to carry out a simple task. This seems insignificant, but in reality it is very important, because as a person ascends they gain, "power or powers." It is important that a person have discipline to use these gifts of power properly.

The Holy Communions of the, Essene Gospel of Peace, are a wonderful ritual to remind a person of their link to nature and the spirit of God.
