The Teachings of the Essenes from Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls

by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely

Nearly two thousand years have passed since the Son of Man taught the way, the truth and the life to mankind. He brought health to the sick, wisdom to the ignorant and happiness to those in misery. His words became half forgotten and were not collected till some generations after they were uttered. They have been misunderstood, wrongly annotated, hundreds of times rewritten and hundreds of times transformed, yet they have nevertheless survived almost two thousand years. And though his words, as we have them to-day in the New Testament, have been terribly mutilated and deformed, they nevertheless have conquered half of humanity and the whole of the civilization of the West. This fact proves the eternal vitality of the Master's words, and their supreme and incomparable value. For this reason we have decided to publish the pure, original words of Jesus, translated directly from the Aramaic tongue spoken by Jesus and his beloved disciple John, who alone among Jesus' disciples noted with perfect accuracy, his Master's personal teachings. The Teachings of the Essenes from Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls is the vital key to guide the reader and interpret the Communions with Angels of Earth and Heaven. Without this book the reader may feel lost in the splendid biblical poetry of the second, and larger volume of the Gospels.

Opening: From the remote ages of antiquity a remarkable teaching has existed which is universal in its application and ageless in its wisdom.

Entirely worth reading if you are into Enoch, however I only suggest this with caveats...Uriel's Machine

I enjoyed this book. I must have been an Essene in a past life, because I love sunbathing for health.
