The Teaching of the Sevenfold Peace




 

ESSENE GOSPEL OF PEACE 4

1.

And seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up onto a mountain,

and his disciples followed after him,

and all them who hungered for his words.

 

2.

And seeing them gathered, he lifted his voice and taught them, saying:

 

"Peace I bring to thee, my children,

Even the Sevenfold Peace of the Earthly Mother and the Heavenly Father.

 

3.

Peace I bring to thy heart, guided by the Angel of Love;

Peace I bring to thy mind, guided by the Angel of Wisdom.

Peace I bring to thy body, guided by the Angel of Might;

 

4.

Through the Angels of Love, Wisdom, and Might,

thou shalt travel the seven paths of the infinite garden,

 

And thy heart, thy mind, and thy body shall join in union

in the sacred flight to the heavenly sea of peace.

 

5.

Yea, I tell thee truly, the paths are seven through the infinite garden,

And each must be traversed by the body, the heart and the mind,

Lest thou stumble and fall into the abyss of emptiness.

 

6.

For as a bird cannot fly with one wing,

so doth thy bird of wisdom need two wings of power and love

to soar above the abyss to the holy Tree of Life.

 

7.

For the body alone is an abandoned house seen from afar,

what was thought beautiful,

is but ruin and desolation when drawing near.

 

8.

Our body alone is as a chariot fashioned from gold,

whose maker sets it on a pedestal, and doth loath to soil it with use.

 

Yet as a golden idol, it is ugly and without grace,

for only in movement doth it reveal its purpose.

 

9.

Like the hollow blackness of a window,

when the wind puts out its candle,

 

is the body alone,

with no heart and no mind to fill it with light.

 

 

10.

And the Heart alone is a sun with no Earth to shine upon,

A light in the void,

a ball of warmth drowned in a sea of blackness.

 

11.

For when a man doth love,

that love turneth only to its own destruction

when there is no hand to stretch forth in good works,

 

and no mind to weave the flames of desire into a tapestry of [spiritual songs].

 

12.

Like a whirlwind in the desert is the Heart alone,

with no body and no mind to lead it singing through the cypress and the pine.

 

13.

And the Mind alone

is a holy scroll that has worn thin with the years, and must be buried.

 

14.

The truth and beauty of its words have not changed,

yet the eyes can no longer read the faded letters,

and it falleth to pieces in the hands.

 

15.

So is the Mind without the Heart to give it words,

and without the Body to do its deeds.

 

16.

For what availeth Wisdom without a heart to feel

and a tongue to give it voice?

 

Barren as the womb of an aged woman is the Mind alone,

with no heart and no body to fill it with life.

 

17.

For, lo, I tell thee truly,

the Body, and the Heart, and the Mind

are as a chariot, and a horse, and a driver.

 

18.

The chariot is the Body,

forged in strength to do the will of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother.

 

19.

The Heart is the fiery steed, glorious and courageous,

who carries the chariot bravely, whether the road be smooth,

or whether stones and fallen trees lie in its path.

 

20.

And the driver is the Mind, holding the reins of Wisdom,

seeing from above what lieth on the far horizon,

charting the course of hoofs and wheels.

 

 

21.

Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak;

and hear, O Earth, the words of my mouth.

 

22.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain,

 

my speech shall distill as the dew,

as the small rain upon the tender herb,

and as the showers upon the grass.

 

23.

Blessed is the Child of Light who is strong in body,

for he shall have oneness with the Earth.

 

24.

Thou shalt celebrate a daily feast with all the gifts of the angel of Earth:

 

25.

The golden wheat and corn,

the purple grapes of autumn,

 

26.

the ripe fruits of the trees,

the amber honey of the bees.

 

27.

Thou shalt seek the fresh air of the forest and of the fields,

and there in the midst of them shalt thou find the angel of Air.

 

28.

Put off thy shoes and all overclothes

and let the angel of Air embrace thy body,

 

29.

then shalt thou breathe long and deeply,

that the angel of Air may be brought within thee.

 

30.

Enter into the cool and flowing river

and let the angel of Water embrace all thy body.

 

31.

Cast thyself wholly into the enfolding waters,

and as often as thou movest the air with thy breath,

move with thy body the water also.

 

32.

Then thou shalt seek the Angel of Sun,

and enter into that embrace which doth purify with holy light.

 

33.

And know all these things are of the Holy Law of the Earthly Mother,

she who did give thee birth.

 

34.

He who hath found peace with the body hath built a holy temple

wherein may dwell forever the spirit of God.

 

35.

Know this peace with thy mind,

desire this peace with thy heart,

fulfill this peace with thy body.

ESSENE GOSPEL OF PEACE 4

36.

Blessed is the Child of Light who is wise in mind,

for he shall create Heaven.

 

37.

The mind of the wise is a well-plowed field,

which giveth forth abundance and plenty.

 

38.

For it thou showest a handful of seed to a wise man,

he will see in his mind's eye a field of golden wheat.

 

39.

And if thou showest a handful of seed to a fool,

he will see only that which is before him,

and call them worthless pebbles.

 

40.

And as the field of the wise man giveth forth grain in abundance,

and the field of the fool is a harvest only of stones,

so it is with our thoughts.

 

41.

As the sheaf of golden wheat lieth hidden within the tiny kernel,

so is the kingdom of heaven hidden within our thoughts.

 

42.

If they be filled with the Love, Wisdom and Might

of the Angels of the Heavenly Father,

 

so they shall carry us to the Heavenly Sea,

[the infinite garden of God the eternal father]

 

43.

Yet if they be stained with corruption, hatred, and ignorance,

 

they shall chain our feet to pillars of pain and suffering.

 

44.

No man can serve two masters;

 

neither can evil thoughts abide in a mind filled with the Light of the Law.

 

45.

He who hath found peace within his mind

hath leamed to soar beyond the realm of the angels.

 

46.

Know this peace with thy mind,

desire this peace with thy heart,

fulfill this peace with thy body.

 

47.

Blessed is the Child of Light who is pure in heart,

for he shall see God.

 

48.

For as the Heavenly Father hath given thee His holy spirit,

and thy Earthly Mother hath given thee Her holy body,

 

so shall ye give love to all thy brothers.

 

49.

And thy true brothers are all those who do the will

of thy Heavenly Father and thy Earthly Mother.

 

50.

Let thy love be as the sun which shines on all the creatures of the Earth,

and does not favor one blade of grass for another.

 

51.

And this love shall flow as a [river] from brother [hood] to brother [hood],

 

52.

And as it is [wearied], so shall it be replenished,

for love is eternal.

 

53.

Love is stronger than the currents of deep waters.

 

54.

Love is stronger than death.

 

55.

And if a man knoweth not love,

he doth build a wall between him and all the creatures of the earth,

and therein doth he dwell in loneliness and pain.

 

56.

Or he may become as an angry whirlpool

which pulls down into the [cold] depths all that floats too near.

 

57.

For the heart is a sea with mighty waves,

 

58.

and love and wisdom must temper it,

as the warm sun breaks through the clouds and quiets the restless sea.

 

59.

He who hath found peace with his brothers

hath entered the kingdom of Love,

and shall see God face to face.

 

60.

Know this peace with thy mind,

desire this peace with thy heart,

fulfill this peace with thy body.

 

 

61.

Blessed is the Child of Light who doth build on Earth the Kingdom of Heaven,

for he shall dwell in both worlds.

 

62.

Thou Child of Light, do gather ye with thy brothers

and then go ye forth to teach the ways of the Law to those who would hear.

 

63.

Thou shalt follow the Law of the Brotherhood,

 

which saith that no one shall have [exceeding] wealth,

and no one shall be [exceedingly] poor,

 

yet all shall work [and live] together in the garden of the Brotherhood.

 

64.

For in the infinite garden there are many and diverse flowers,

 

Who shall say that one is best, because its color is purple,

or that one is favored, because its stalk is long and slender?

 

65.

[Thus] though the brothers [of mankind] be of different complexion,

yet do they all toil [together] in the vineyard of the Earthly Mother,

and do they all lift their voices together in praise of the Heavenly Father.

 

66.

And together they [share] the holy bread,

and [together] they share the holy meal [with] thanksgiving,

[and share before and after the holy prayers of thanksgiving]

 

[And] there [cannot] be peace among peoples

until there be one garden of brotherhood [of man] over the Earth.

 

67.

For how can there be peace,

when each man pursueth his own gain

and doth sell his soul into slavery?

 

68.

Thou Child of Light, do gather ye with thy brothers

and then go ye forth to teach the ways of the Law

to those who would hear.

 

69.

He who hath found peace with the Brotherhood of Man

hath made himself the co-worker of God

 

70.

Know this peace with thy mind,

desire this peace with thy heart,

fulfill this peace with thy body.

ESSENE GOSPEL OF PEACE 4

71.

Blessed is the Child of Light who doth study the Book of the Law,

 

for he shall be as a candle in the dark of night,

and an island of truth in a sea of falsehood.

 

72.

For know ye, that the written word which cometh from God

is a reflection of the Heavenly Sea,

even as the bright stars reflect the face of heaven.

 

73.

As the words of the Ancient Ones are etched

with the hand of God on the Holy Scrolls,

 

so is the Law engraved on the hearts of the faithful who do study them.

 

74.

For it was said of old, in the scriptures

that in the beginning there were giants on the earth,

and mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

 

75.

And the Children of Light shall guard and preserve their written word,

lest we become again as beasts,

and know not the Kingdom of the Angels.

 

76.

Know ye, too, that only through the written word

shalt thou find that Law which is unwritten,

 

as the spring which floweth from the ground

hath a hidden source in the secret depths beneath the earth.

 

77.

The written Law is the instrument by which the unwritten Law is understood,

as the mute branch of a tree becomes a singing flute in the hands of the shepherd.

 

78.

Many there are who would stay in the tranquil valley of ignorance,

where children play and butterflies dance in the sun for their short hour of life.

 

79.

Yet none can tarry there long,

for ahead [of us] rise the somber Mountains of Learning.

 

80.

There are many who fear to cross,

and there are many who have fallen bruised and bleeding

from their steep and rugged slopes. Plato's cave

 

81.

Yet faith is the guide over the gaping chasm,

and perseverance the foothold in the jagged rocks.

82.

Beyond the icy peaks of struggle

lies the peace and beauty of the infinite garden of knowledge,

 

where the meaning of the Law is made known to the Children of Light.

 

83.

Here in the center of its forest stands the Tree of Life,

the Mystery of mysteries.

 

84.

He who hath found peace with the teachings of the Ancients, the Ancient Mysteries

through the light of the mind,

through the light of nature,

 

85.

And through the study of the Holy Word,

hath entered the cloud-filled Hall of the Ancients,

where dwelleth the Holy Brotherhood, of whom no man may speak.

 

86.

Know this peace with thy mind,

desire this peace with thy heart,

fulfill this peace with thy body.

 

87.

Blessed is the Child of Light who knoweth his Earthly Mother,

for she is the giver of life.

 

88.

Know that thy Mother is in thee, and thou art in her.

She bore thee and she giveth thee life.

.

She it was who gaveth thee thy body,

and to her shalt thou one day give it back again.

 

89.

Know that the blood which runs in thee

is born of the blood of thy Earthly Mother.

90.

Her [spirit] falls like rain] from the clouds,

leaps up from the womb of the Earth

babbles in the brooks of the mountains,

 

91.

Flows wide in the rivers of the plains,

sleeps in the lakes,

rages mightily in the tempestuous seas.

 

92.

Know that the air which thou dost breathe is born of the breath of thy Earthly Mother.

 

93.

Her breath is [blue] azure in the heights of the heavens,

 

soughs [on] the tops of the mountains,

whispers in the leaves of the forest,

 

 

94.

billows over the cornfields,

slumbers in the deep valleys,

burns hot in the desert.

 

95.

Know that the hardness of thy bones is born of the bones of thy Earthly Mother,

of the rocks and of the stones.

 

96.

Know that the tenderness of thy flesh is born of the flesh of thy Earthly Mother,

she whose flesh waxeth yellow and red in the fruits of the trees.

 

97.

The light of thy eyes, and the hearing of thy ears,

these are born of the colors and the sounds of thy Earthly Mother,

 

98.

which doth enclose thee about,

as the waves of the sea enclose a fish,

as the eddying air a bird.

 

99.

I tell thee in truth,

Man is the Son of the Earthly Mother,

 

100.

and from her did the Son of Man receive his whole body,

even as the body of the newborn babe is born of the womb of his mother.

 

101.

I tell thee truly, thou art one with the Earthly Mother;

She is in thee, and thou art in her.

 

102.

Of her wert thou born, in her dost thou live,

and to her shalt thou return again.

 

103.

Therefore, keep her laws, for none can live long, nor can be happy,

except he who honors his Earthly Mother, and keepeth her laws.

 

104.

For thy breath is her breath, thy body her body

Thy eyes and thy ears are her eyes and her ears.

 

105.

He who hath found peace with his Earthly Mother shall never know death.

 

Know this peace with thy mind,

and desire this peace with thy heart.

106.

Blessed is the Child of Light who doth seek his Heavenly Father,

for he shall have eternal life.

 

107.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

 

108.

For He shall give his Angels charge over thee,

to keep thee in all thy ways.

 

109.

Know ye that the Lord hath been our dwelling place in all generations.

 

110.

Before the mountains were brought forth,

or ever He had formed the earth and the world,

 

111.

Even from everlasting to everlasting,

hath there been love between the Heavenly Father and His children.

 

112.

And how shall this love be sustained?

 

113.

For from the beginning until the ending of time

doth the holy flame of love encircle the heads

of the Heavenly Father and the Children of Light!

 

114.

How then shall this love ever be extinguished?

 

115.

Ye that love thy Heavenly Father, do ye then His bidding:

Walk ye with His Holy Angels, and find thy peace with His Holy Law.

 

116.

For His Law is the entire Law:

Yea, it is the Law of laws.

 

117.

Through His Law He hath made the Earth and the Heavens to be one world;

the mountains and the sea are his footstools.

 

118.

With His hands He hath made us and fashioned us,

and he gaveth us understanding that we may learn His Law.

 

119.

He is covered with Light as with a garment:

He stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain.

 

120.

He maketh the clouds his chariot;

He walketh upon the wings of the wind.

 

121.

He sendeth the springs into the valleys,

and His breath is in the mighty trees.

 

122.

In His hand are the deep places of the earth,

the strength of the hills is His also.

 

123.

The sea is His,

and His hands formed the dry land.

 

124.

All the heavens declare the Glory of God,

and the firmament showeth his Law.

 

125.

And to his faithful and obedient children doth he bequeath his Kingdom,

 

Unto those who walk with his Angels,

and find their peace with his Holy Law.

 

126.

Wouldst thou know more, my children?

 

127.

How may we speak with our lips

that which cannot be spoken?

 

128.

It is like a pomegranate eaten by a mute:

 

How then may he tell of its flavor?

 

129.

If we say the Heavenly Father dwelleth within us,

then are the heavens ashamed;

 

130.

If we say He dwelleth without us,

it is falsehood.

 

131.

The eye which scanneth the far horizon

and the eye which seeth the hearts of men He maketh as one eye.

 

132.

He is not manifest, [nor] He is not hidden.

 

He is not revealed, nor is He unrevealed.

 

133.

My children, there are no words to tell that which He is!

 

134.

Only this do we know:

 

We are His children,

and He is our Father.

 

135.

He is our God, and we are the children of His pasture,

and the sheep of His hand.

 

136.

He who hath found peace with his Heavenly Father

hath entered the Sanctuary of the Holy Law,

and hath made a covenant with God which shall endure forever.

 

137.

Know this peace with thy mind,

desire this peace with thy heart,

fulfill this peace with thy body,

 

138.

Though heaven and earth may pass away,

not one letter of the Holy Law shall change or pass away.

 

139.

For in the beginning was the Law, John 1:1

and the Law was with God,

and the Law was God.

 

140.

May the Sevenfold Peace of the Heavenly Father be with thee always.

A quick word of prophecy, said to be the oldest prophecy in the world, was given to Enoch in the generation before Noah. Other books of teaching are said to have been read even in Adam's generation. Notably, the Book of Signs, about astrology, is said to have been read by Adam.

The Ten Commandments

from the books of Essene doctrine

 

 

THE ESSENE GOSPEL OF PEACE 2

1.

And Mount Sinai was altogether in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire:

and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace,

and the whole mount quaked greatly.

 

2.

And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount:

and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.

 

3.

And the Lord called unto Moses out of the mountain, saying,

 

Come unto me, for I would give thee the Law for thy people,

which shall be a covenant for the Children of Light.

 

4.

And Moses went up unto God,

and God spake all these words, saying,

 

5.

I am the Law, thy God,

which hath brought thee out from the depths of the bondage of darkness.

 

6.

Thou shalt have no other Laws before me.

 

Thou shalt not make unto thee any image of the Law

in heaven above or in the earth beneath.

 

7.

I am the invisible Law, without beginning and without end.

 

8.

Thou shalt not make unto thee false laws,

for I am the Law, and the whole Law of all laws.

 

9.

If thou forsake me,

thou shalt be visited by disasters for generation upon generation.

 

10.

If thou keepest my commandments,

thou shalt enter the infinite garden

where stands the Tree of Life in the midst of the Eternal Sea.

 

11.

Thou shalt not violate the Law.

 

The Law is thy God, who shall not hold thee guiltless.

 

12.

Honor thy Earthly Mother, that thy days may be long upon the land,

and honor thy Heavenly Father, that eternal life be thine in the heavens,

 

for the earth and the heavens are given unto thee

by the Law, which is thy God.

 

13.

Thou shalt greet thy Earthly Mother on the morning of the Sabbath.

 

14.

Thou shalt greet the Angel of Earth on the second morning.

Thou shalt greet the Angel of Life on the third morning.

 

15.

Thou shalt greet the Angel of Joy on the fourth morning.

Thou shalt greet the Angel of Sun on the fifth morning.

 

16.

Thou shalt greet the Angel of Water on the sixth morning.

Thou shalt greet the Angel of Air on the seventh morning.

 

17.

All these Angels of the Earthly Mother shalt thou greet,

and consecrate thyself to them,

that thou mayest enter the infinite garden where stands the Tree of Life.

 

18.

Thou shalt worship thy Heavenly Father on the evening of the Sabbath.

 

19.

Thou shalt commune with the Angel of Eternal Life on the second evening.

T'hou shalt commune with the Angel of Work on the third evening.

 

20.

Thou shalt commune with the Angel of Peace on the fourth evening.

Thou shalt commune with the Angel of Power on the fifth evening,

 

21.

Thou shalt commune with the Angel of Love on the sixth evening.

Thou shalt commune with the Angel of Wisdom on the seventh evening.

 

22.

All these Angels of the Heavenly Father shalt thou commune with,

that thy soul may bathe in the Fountain of Light,

and enter into the Sea of Eternity.

 

23.

The seventh day is the Sabbath:

thou shalt remember it, keep it holy.

 

24.

The Sabbath is the day of the Light of the Law, thy God.

 

25.

In it thou shalt not do any work,

yet search the Light, the Kingdom of thy God,

and all things shall be given unto thee.

 

 

26.

For know ye that during six days thou shalt work with the Angels,

but the seventh day shalt thou dwell in the Light of thy Lord,

who is the holy Law.

 

27.

Thou shalt not take the life from any living thing.

 

Life comes only from God,

who giveth it and taketh it away.

 

28.

Thou shalt not debase Love,

 

it is the sacred gift of thy Heavenly Father.

 

29.

Thou Shalt not trade thy Soul,

the priceless gift of the loving God,

 

for the riches of the world,

which are as seeds sown on stony ground,

 

having no root in themselves,

and so enduring but for a little while.

 

30.

Thou shalt not be a false witness of the Law,

to use it against thy brother.

 

31.

Only God knoweth the beginning and the ending of all things,

for his eye is single, and he is the holy Law.

 

32.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's possessions.

 

The Law giveth unto thee much greater gifts,

even the earth and the heavens,

if thou keep the Commandments of the Lord thy God.

 

33.

And Moses heard the voice of the Lord,

and sealed within him the covenant

that was between the Lord and the Children of Light.

 

34.

And Moses turned, and went down from the mount,

and the two tablets of the Law were in his hand.

 

35.

And the tablets were the work of God,

and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tablets.

36.

And the people knew not what became of Moses,

and they gathered themselves together

and brake off their golden earrings and made a molten calf.

 

37.

And they worshipped unto the idol,

and offered to it burnt offerings.

 

38.

And they ate and drank and danced before the golden calf,

which they had made,

and they abandoned themselves to corruption and evil before the Lord.

 

39.

And it came to pass, as soon as Moses came nigh unto the camp,

that he saw the calf, and the dancing,

and the wickedness of the people:

 

40.

And Moses' anger waxed hot,

and he cast the tablets out of his hands,

and brake them beneath the mount.

 

41.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people,

 

Ye have sinned a great sin,

ye have denied thy Creator.

 

42.

I will go up unto the Lord and plead atonement for thy sin.

 

43.

And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said,

 

Lord, thou hast seen the desecration of thy Holy Law,

 

44.

for thy children lost faith, and worshipped the darkness,

and made for themselves a golden calf.

 

45.

Lord, forgive them, for they are blind to the light.

 

46.

And the Lord said unto Moses,

 

Behold, at the beginning of time was a covenant made between God and man,

and the holy flame of the Creator did enter unto him.

 

47.

And he was made the son of God,

and it was given him to guard his inheritance of the firstborn,

and to make fruitful the land of his Father and keep it holy.

 

48.

And he who casteth out the Creator from him doth spit upon his birthright,

and no more grievous sin doth exist in the eyes of God.

 

49.

And the Lord spoke, saying,

 

Only the Children of Light can keep the Commandments of the Law.

 

50.

Hear me, for I say thus:

 

51.

The tablets which thou didst break,

these shall nevermore be written in the words of men.

 

52.

As thou didst return them to the earth and fire,

so shall they live, invisible,

in the hearts of those who are able to follow their Law.

 

53.

To thy people of little faith, who did sin against the Creator,

even whilst thou stood on holy ground before thy God,

I will give another Law.

 

54.

It shall be a stern law,

 

55.

yea, it shall bind them,

for they know not yet the Kingdom of Light.

 

56.

And Moses hid the invisible Law within his breast,

and kept it for a sign to the Children of Light.

 

57.

And God gave unto Moses the written law for the people,

and he went down unto them,

and spake unto them with a heavy heart.

 

58.

And Moses said unto the people,

 

"These are the laws which thy God hath given thee.

 

59.

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

 

60.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.

 

61.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

62.

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 

63.

5. Honor thy father and thy mother.

 

64.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

 

65.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

 

66.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

 

67.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

 

68.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house,

 

nor thy neighbor's wife,

nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

 

69.

And there was a day of mourning and atonement

for the great sin against the Creator,

which did not end.

 

70.

And the broken tablets of the Invisible Law lived hidden in the breast of Moses,

 

until it came to pass that the Children of Light appeared in the desert,

and the angels walked the earth.
