Essene Communions with the Infinite

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, and think, but it was also made to enter the Holy Stream of Life; And your ears were made not only to hear the words of men, the song of birds, and the music of falling rain, but they were also made to hear the Holy Stream of Sound; And your eyes were made not only to see the rising and setting of the sun, the ripple of sheaves of grain, and the words of the Holy Scrolls, but they were also made to see the Holy Stream of Light. One day your body will return to the Earthly Mother, even also you ears and your eyes; but the Holy Stream of Life, the Holy Stream of Sound, and the Holy Stream of Light, these werer never born and can never die. Enter the Holy Streams, even that Life, that Sound, and that Light which gave you birth, that you may reach the kingdom of the Heavenly Father and become one with him even as the river empties into the far distant sea." (Essene Gosple of Peace, Book 2, E. Szekely)


Edward Szekely's Communions with the Infinite:

Morning Communion with the Tree of Life
(Holy Stream of Life)

Brother Tree - Sister Life

You are floating through the green foliage of a beautiful forest, the sun filtering through the lacy web of leaves, a carpet of velvet green beneath you. You pause before a tall, majestic tree and embrace it. You feel the life-forces of the tree flowing through your whole body. As you breathe deeply, repeat to yourself the word "Life." Soon you will feel the tingling of the life-forces of the tree in your spine, and you can also direct these forces to the areas of your body which need healing. At the end of this communion say: "Thank you, Brother Tree."


Noon Communion with the Cosmic Ocean of Sound
(Holy Stream of Sound)

Mother Sound

You are lying relaxed in a mountain stream, the water flowing cool around you in a direction from head to foot. On both sides of the stream are banks of flowers and grass, and in the distance, shrubs and trees, warm sunlight filtering through the green leaves. Breathe deeply, repeat to yourself the words "Sound, Stream" and concentrate only on the rushing, soothing sound of the flowing waters of the swift stream. Let the sound penetrate your mind and body until you hear in your inner ear the "Music of the Spheres" of Pythagoras. At the end of this communion, say "Thank you Mother Earth for your sounds, healing my body and mind, and lifting me into the presence of the Eternal and Infinite Soundstream."


Evening Communion with the Cosmic Ocean of Light
(Holy Stream of Light)

Father Light

You are floating, floating on the still, untroubled surface of a lake, surrounded by mountains and forest. Above you is the sky filled with stars. It is night, but darkness is dispelled by the thousands and thousands of brilliant diamond-flashes of stars, shining, streaming with Cosmic Light. Breathe deeply, repeat to yourself the words "Light, Light" and concentrate only on the star-filled sky until you will see all kinds of light formations behind your closed eyes. Visualize yourself floating in the Light of the Stars, floating upward, ascending to become one of the Angels of the Heavenly Father.


Note: if you feel disposed to using a Wazifa with these communions, you can try saying:

Morning Communion:  Hayy along with the word "Life";
     Noon Communion:  Wahabo along with the words "Sound Stream";
Evening Communion:  Nur along with the word "Light".

These communions are best done (as are prayers) Morning, Noon and Evening, however, any one of them can be done at any time with benefit!
