Essene Communions with the Infinite

Image
Many "Communions" were received and given by the Essenes. They were prayers but more because they connected one directly to an aspect of the Divine Consciousness. Jesus (or Eashoa in Aramaic) said of the Communions, as recorded in the Unknown Books of the Essene Gospel of Peace (E. Szekely) : " The Holy Temple can be built only with the ancient Communions: Those which are spoken, those which are thought, and those which are lived. For if they are spoken only with the mouth, they are as a dead hive which the bees have forsaken, that gives no more honey. The Communions are a bridge between man and the angels." I would like to share three beautiful Communions given by Edmond Szekely, an Essene of our time; these are Communions that bring us in touch with the Life-Stream, Sound-Stream, and Light-Stream . Jesus (Eashoa) clearly spoke of the importance of these particular Communions: " I tell you truly, your body was made not only to breathe, and eat

Light Bearers - Essene Children of Light

The Earth at Night The Essene Brother/Sisterhood were called "Children of Light". The order was deeply connected to nature, light and was a healing order. Its source is ancient and deeply rooted, according to Edmond Szekely (1905–1979) a modern day Essene and a translator of the Essene Gospels of Peace...   They lived in the desert, on the shore of an ocean of sand. They came to this burning wasteland because it was less cruel than the persecution they suffered from their fellow man. And in the barren desert they planted a garden which grew and flourished for many hundreds of years.  They guarded among them the most ancient knowledge and the greatest treasure of holiness the world had ever known. They were the Brotherhood of the Essenes.  Even they were not sure of their origins, so lost in time was the memory of their beginnings. Moses had been one of them, and the prophets of old. The Children of Light of ancient Sumeria were of their blood, and healers and teac

Life: A Hall of Mirrors

What you focus upon you become. You are more what you 'think you are' than you think you are. – Sufi Amin The first and the last lesson for one on the spiritual path of awakening is the cosmic law that consciousness is a mirror. Like a mirror, we become what we reflect. The more constant the impression reflected, the deeper the imprint.   Hazrat Inayat Khan: “The different minds in the world may be likened to various mirrors, capable of projecting reflections, and reflecting all that falls upon them. No one, however great in wisdom and power, can claim to be free from influences. It is like the mirror claiming, 'I do not reflect all that fails upon me.' Only the difference between the wise and the foolish is that the wise man turns his back to what he must not reflect; the foolish not only reflects the undesirable thought, but most proudly owns to it.”   Add to this the interaction between mirrors and we find we are living in a 'hall of mir

Practices to Harness the Power of the Mind and Feelings

When the mind and body are restless, nothing in life can be accomplished. Success is the result of control.   Hazrat Inayat Khan Affirmation : My mind is still, my thought is steady, my sight is keen, my life is balanced. Hazrat Inayat Khan Use any of these practices to give you the power to become who you are and what you want to be! 1.      Kasab or Pranayama – Develop Balance, freedom, centered emotions Press your right thumb to close the right nostril, inhale through the left nostril. Feel your energy rising up the left side of the spine, transmuting it as it rises. Press the left finger so that both nostrils are closed; hold your breath 3 – 5 heartbeats. Then exhale through the right nostril, bringing the energy down. Now press your left finger closing the left nostril, breath in through the right nostril, drawing energy up through the right side of the spinal cord; hold your breath; then exhale through the left nostril, bringing the energy down. Then

Transmuting Darkness into Light

Often in the course of our lives, particularly when the ‘mirror of our consciousness’ becomes clear from spiritual practice, we start to pick up a lot of heavy emotions in our auras.   We may not even recognize these as coming from outside ourselves and therefore attribute them to “I”:   Why am “I” feeling depressed, angry, confused, fearful, exhausted, etc.     These heavy emotions manifest in our mental-emotional bodies from outside, from there they can sink into our etheric body and finally, even into our physical bodies. The heavy energy or emotion we pick up comes to us because: (a) of an affinity with our own mental-emotional tendencies; or (b) from individuals we are close to such as family, loved ones, a group we are connected with, or even from the city we live in. No matter where these emotions come from, how we handle them is essentially the same: the first step is to recognize them; the second, to honestly ask if they are mine or not mine, (i.e. coming fro

Slipping Into Light

These two wonderful practices arose from the collective inspiration of a group Light Bearers. SLIPPING INTO LIGHT - PART 1 Experience Light Slipping into your body. Feel the areas of your body where you would normally not be aware of light, such as between the fingers, between the toes, under the chin, in the back of the knees, and elsewhere.   Now relax and be aware of light entering these places of the body… feel the light slipping into the space between the fingers, behind the knees, inside the elbow, behind the ears, and everywhere else it manages to slip in.   Allow the light to slip in to unexpected places of your being.   You find that experiencing light is no longer an active encounter that you must do, but instead a receptive experience of allowing the light to slip in wherever it may. SLIPPING INTO LIGHT - PART 2 Experience Light Slipping into Hot Spots of the World, Places of Turmoil .   Think of an area of the world that is in turmoil/sufferin
