From the author's preface: "This third book of the Essene Gospel of Peace is a collection of texts of great spiritual, literary, philosophical and poetical value, created by two powerful, interwoven streams of tradition. Chronologically, the first is the stream of traditions to which the Hebrew people were exposed in the Babylonian prison, dating from the Gilgamesh Epics to the Zend Avesta of Zarathustra. The second is the stream of traditions flowing with poetical majesty through the Old and New Testaments, dating from the ageless Enoch and the other Patriarchs, through the Prophets and on to the mysterious Essene Brotherhood. In the buried library of the Essene Brotherhood at the Dead Sea, where the greatest number of scrolls were found, the texts of these two streams of traditions were very much interwoven. They follow each other in a strange succession: the powerful cubistic simplicity of the first juxtaposed with the majestic, expressionist poetry of the second. The original texts of this collection may be classified into three approximate groups: about seventy percent of them are completely different from the ancinet Sacred Books of the Avestas and the Old and New Testaments; twenty percent are similar, and ten percent are identical..."

Edmond Bordeaux Szekely uses the Essene method of interpretation to relate the beginning of the Book of Genesis and the creation story through the fall of man. The balance of the book consists of eight lectures delivered at the First Christians' Church about the esoteric teachings contained in the story of Moses.

The present work is concerned with the meaning of the Essene traditions in relation to their values for mankind today and the actual practices which result in an expansion of consciousness. These values may be considered from four standpoints. 1.) The Essene traditions represent a synthesis of the great contributions to humanity of the different cultures of antiquity. 2.) They represent for us a path leading away from the one-sided utilitarian technology of contemporary civilization, a valid and practical teaching utilizing all the sources of energy, harmony and knowledge everywhere surrounding us. 3.) They give us permanent standards in an age where truth seems to dissolve in a continual shifting of concepts. 4.) This resulting neurosis and insecurity is given a complete balance and harmony through the Essene teachings.

Mystery

According to the Essene traditions, the earliest teacher of humanity known to us was Enoch, the founder of the Essene Brotherhood, who taught how to unite the thinking body of man with the cosmic ocean of thought, infinite and eternal. Next came the Persian Zoroaster, with his teaching of the Cosmic Order. After him, Moses brought down from the Mountain of Sinai the tablets containing the Essene communion with the angels. Another link in the succession was the teaching of Buddha, who, in the Far East, set in motion the Cosmic Wheel of Life. Finally, there was the Essene Brotherhood as the Dead Sea which planted the Essene Tree of Life, whose highest brancj was represented by the Essene Jesus, latest and therefore closest to us of all the great teachers of humanity. The quintessence of his revelation is found in the Sermon on the Mount. According to the Essene traditions, each of the great teachers of humanity revealed the whole truth in a complete, all-sided and absolute revelation, si

In the Game of Asha, with its drama of light and darkness, the interplay of forces of light and darkness, the interplay of forces of good and evil, we experience the power of the Avestic tradition. In the Essene Tree of Life, with the branches of man reaching toward the Heavenly Father, and the roots of man sunk deep into the Earthly Mother, the symbolism of the Biblical Patriarchs is revealed. Both the Game of Asha and the Essene Tree of Life are reflections of the same truth: in his quest for perfection, man is always guided by the visible forces of nature, and invisible forces of the cosmos.

This precious jewel of a book is the fortunate result of my own "archeological excavations." Going through the papers of Dr. Szekely a few days after his death, I found a manuscript in his own hand, with instructions to me, about Essene traditions from original Zarathustrian sources, concerning certain regenerative communions which allowed them to commune with and return to their original ancestral harmony with the Eternal Streams of Life, Sound, and Light. The awe I felt as I read it came not only from the spiritual power of the manuscript, but also from intense gratitude that I am the only person on this planet who can read his handwriting! I copied it word for word, experiencing in the process both heights of joy and sorrow: joy, because this book represents the very essence of the hidden Essene teachings, delving into the esoteric mystery of the communions with the Lifestream, the Soundstream, and the Lightstream; sorrow, because, after all, it is only a month since he left us in his physical form, and I love him, and I am only human. Nevertheless, I and all who treasure his books are luckier than most who lose a loved one. We have his works, the magnificent outpouring of one of the greatest minds of this century, and perhaps of all time. His books will always be with us, and in his books, he lives. And we must do our part to practice what is in this book, not only read and admire its beauty. He could not have given us a more cherished parting gift than the knowledge and esoteric wisdom hidden in these Communions with the Holy Streams of Life, Sound, and Light. Behind their seeming simplicity lies an unknown realm of Truth and Reality that Home for which every Essene Wayfarer longs. We have a sacred duty to follow the Path which he so faithfully followed all of his long, long life. -Norma Nilsson Bordeaux Szekely

The Essene Communions With the Infinite

FASTING is the most ancient therapy of humanity. Even our forefathers observed that after some days of fasting, a recrudescence of vitality and vigor shows itself in the organism. Nature turns it to account for the purpose of accelerating the functions of elimination, while the marvelous economy of the organism profits by the rest afforded to the digestive functions and by the vital machine's slackened activity resulting from the fast to cast off the impurities of the organism by every channel. In sickness, nature seeks to eliminate, then to eliminate more, and again more, until the choked-up ducts which are the vehicles of vitality and energy are made free and good health is re-established. And it is only when elimination is complete and all the embarrassing waste products of the organism have been evacuated, that hunger, exquisite and natural, appears. On several occasions enthusiasts have embarked on a fast without having studied the question sufficiently or without having accurate ideas on the physiology of the body. They have injured the idea of therapy through fasting in the minds of people by incorrect application of an excellent method. There are some kinds of fasts which must be wholly condemned: irrational fasts, fasts without preparation, fasts of long duration without an experienced guide, and fasts which are only inspired by the wish to follow a system momentarily in vogue. The purpose of this book is to give a dialectical guide to all who want to profit by this most ancient therapy of mankind, without making mistakes in its application. SOBRIETY is reduced to two things: quality and quantity. The first consists in avoiding food or drinks, which are found to disagree with the stomach. The second, to avoid taking more than the stomach can easily digest.
