The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book 1

The Essene Gospel of Peace #1

by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (Foreword)

Nearly two thousand years have passed since the Son of man taught the way, the truth and the life of mankind. He brought health to the sick, wisdom to the ignorant and happiness to those in misery. He 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. The content of this book represents only about a third of the complete manuscripts which exist in Aramaic in the Secret Archives of the Vatican and in old Slavonic in the Royal Archives of the Habsburgs (now the property of the Austrian Government). We owe the existence of these two versions to the Nestorian priests who, under pressure of the advancing hordes of Genghis Khan, were forced to flee from the East towards the West, bearing all their ancient scriptures and ikons with them. The ancient Aramaic texts date from the 3rd century after Christ, while the old Slavonic version is a literal translation of the former. Exactly how the texts traveled from Palestine to the interior of Asia into the hands of the Nestorian priests, archeologists are not yet able to reconstruct for us. We have nothing to add to this text. It speaks for itself. The reader who studies the pages that follow with concentration, will feel the eternal vitality and powerful evidence of these profound truths which mankind needs today more urgently than ever before.

[Layla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredible that this book lay hidden in the secret archives of the vatican, when it could have been an inspiration and spiritual tool for so many. Nevertheless, over million readership since then is still something!

The Gospel of Peace is one of the many works recording the teachings of Jesus that have been hidden from humanity because it didn't fit the paradigm of social engineering being designed by those in control.

It is such an amazing book! No sooner do you start exploring this book that you discover the background to where so much of the modern move towards conscious holistic living draws its understanding from, but has been obscured over time.

Towards the end you'll also come to a prayer that has been deeply hidden and is as important as the Our Father prayer.

A beautiful spiritual book that offers many valuable teachings!

[Joseph Voelbel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a jewel of insight. In particular it includes The Earths Prayer, an Essene counterpart to The Lords Prayer.

"Our Mother which art upon earth, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, and thy will be done in us, as it is in thee. As thou sendest every day Thy angels, send them to us also. Forgive us our sins, as we atone all our sins against thee. And lead us not into sickness, but deliver us from all evil, for thine is the earth, the body, and the health. Amen."

[Bodhi Tree (Buddhist) - Tree of Life (Essene) - Wheel of Life (Tibet)]

Tree Prayer:

"Go towards the high growing Trees, And before one of them Which is beautiful, high growing and mighty, Say thou these words: Hail be unto Thee! O good living tree, Made by the Creator."

“The Essene Gospel”
2014
By Edmond Bordeaux Szekely

I found this copy on a free cart at the local library. The Essene movement has been subtle but continues on with nook and cranny ways of providing its books on free carts of small town libraries, thrift shops, and flea markets; a perfect venue that the Lord himself would use. It is a fascinating book with such profound effect that I was pretty much ashamed and embarrassed from its convicting content.

Translated from the third century Aramaic manuscript “The Essene Gospel” is not only mind boggling but practically applicable for devoted disciples of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the truth that is revealed therein.

The book discusses fasting and cleansing of the body in such simplistic terms that one would want to forsake all and follow. I believe this is the point and the point should be taken into account.

A must read and follow up with sequels for any human being that is seriously interested in following and abiding by the truth of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.

[Aubree Deimler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Similar dietary messages coming through to me recently - not to eat the flesh of the suffering, for God is the God of the living, not the dead.

Also clear teachings here on the Divine Mother, which was missing from much of my religious teachings growing up and makes me wonder why these teachings were disregarded in place of a patriarchal system where women were shunned for the original sin.

Never have I read a book that felt more alive.

[Teri · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a charming, perhaps Apocryphal book (at least that is how I am interpreting it). A free copy of the pdf can be found here. It is believed that Jesus was perhaps an Essene, or at least that He taught the Essenes during the unrecorded "lost years" when he was between the ages of 18 to 30. This book contains His healing principles based on natural laws. The health laws are very similar to what the Seventh Day Adventists and the hygienists follow and they strike me as timeless principles of healing.

It talks about following the spiritual laws of Heavenly Father and following the temporal natural laws of Heavenly Mother (meaning the Earth) and her angels. "Keep, therefore, her laws, for none can live long, neither be happy, but he who honors his Earthly Mother and does her laws. For your breath is her breath; your blood her blood; your bone her bone; your flesh her flesh; your bowels her bowels; your eyes and your ears are her eyes and her ears." It talks about how Satan and his angels are ready to inflict us with disease if we break the natural earthly laws. "Beelzebub, the prince of all devils, the source of every evil, lies in wait in the body of all the Sons of Men. He is death, the lord of every plague. ... I tell you truly, when the Son of Man resists the Satan that dwells in him and does not his will, in the same hour are found the Mother's angels there, that they may serve him with all their power and free utterly the Son of Man from the power of Satan. For no man can serve two masters. For either he serves Beelzebub and his devils or else he serves our Earthly Mother and her angels. Either he serves death or he serves life."

These are the principles of healing I jotted down as I read the book:

1. Fasting, to renew yourself and to cast out the adversary's plagues. "For I tell you truly, that Satan and his plagues may only be cast out by fasting and by prayer. ... fast till Beelzebub and all his evils depart from you, and all the angels of our Earthly Mother come and serve you. For I tell you truly, except you fast, you shall never be freed from the power of Satan and from all diseases that come from Satan. Fast and pray fervently, seeking the power of the living God for your healing. While you fast, eschew the Sons of Men and seek our Earthly Mother's angels, for he that seeks shall find."

2. Fresh air. "Seek the fresh air of the forest and of the fields, and there in the midst of them shall you find the angel of air. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of air to embrace all your body."

3. Clean water, inside and out. "In very truth, all must be born again of water and of truth, for your body bathes in the river of earthly life, and your spirit bathes in the river of life everlasting. For you receive your blood from our Earthly Mother and the truth from our Heavenly Father."

4. Enemas, when necessary because of disease. Jesus even teaches how to give an enema by using a gourd: "Seek, therefore, a large trailing gourd, having a stalk the length of a man; take out its inwards and fill it with water from the river which the sun has warmed. Hang it upon the branch of a tree, and kneel upon the ground before the angel of water, and suffer the end of the stalk of the trailing gourd to enter your hinder parts, that the water may flow through all your bowels. Afterwards rest kneeling on the ground before the angel of water and pray to the living God that he will forgive you all your past sins, and pray the angel of water that he will free your body from every uncleanness and disease. Then let the water run out from your body, that it may carry away from within it all the unclean and evil-smelling things of Satan. And you shall see with your eyes and smell with your nose all the abominations, and uncleannesses which defiled the temple of your body; even all the sins which abode in your body, tormenting you with all manner of pains. I tell you truly, baptism with water frees you from all of these. Renew your baptizing with water [enema] on every day of your fast, till the day when you see that the water which flows out of you is as pure as the river's foam. Then betake your body to the coursing river, and there in the arms of the angel of water render thanks to the living God that he has freed you from your sins. And this holy baptizing by the angel of water is: Rebirth unto the new life. For your eyes shall henceforth see, and your ears shall hear. Sin no more, therefore, after your baptism, that the angels of air and of water may eternally abide in you and serve you evermore."

5. Sunlight. "Truly, all must be born again of sun and of truth, for your body basks in the sunlight of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit basks in the sunlight of the truth of the Heavenly Father. The angels of air and of water and of sunlight are brethren. They were given to the Son of Man that they might serve him, and that he might go always from one to the other. Holy, likewise, is their embrace. They are indivisible children of the Earthly Mother, so do not you put asunder those whom earth and heaven have made one. Let these three brother angels enfold you every day and let them abide with you through all your fasting. For I tell you truly, the power of devils, all sins and uncleannesses shall depart in haste from that body which is embraced by these three angels. ... When all sins and uncleannesses are gone from your body, your blood shall become as pure as our Earthly Mother's blood and as the river's foam sporting in the sunlight."

6. Anticipate detox symptoms while healing. "And the breath of some became as stinking as that which is loosed from the bowels, and some had an issue of spittle, and evil-smelling and unclean vomit rose from their inward parts. All these uncleannesses flowed by their mouths. In some, by the nose, in others by the eyes and ears. And many did have a noisome and abominable sweat come from all their body, over all their skin. And on many limbs great hot boils broke forth, from which came out uncleannesses with an evil smell, and urine flowed abundantly from their body; and in many their urine was all but dried up and became thick as the honey of bees; that of others was almost red or black, and as hard almost as the sand of rivers. And many belched stinking gases from their bowels, like the breath of devils. And their stench became so great that none could bear it. And when they baptized themselves, the angel of water entered their bodies [i.e. enemas], and from them flowed out all the abominations and uncleannesses of their past sins, and like a falling mountain stream gushed from their bodies a multitude of hard and soft abominations. And the ground where their waters flowed was polluted, and so great became the stench that none could remain there. And the devils left their bowels in the shape of multitudinous worms which writhed in impotent rage after the angel of water had cast them out of the bowels of the Sons of Men. And then descended upon them the power of the angel of sunshine, and they perished there in their desperate writhings, trod underfoot by the angel of sunshine. And all were trembling with terror when they looked upon all these abominations of Satan, from which the angels had saved them. And they rendered thanks to God who had sent his angels for their deliverance."

7. Repent for past sins, including for breaking the laws of health, and be patient while repenting. Jesus teaches a twist on the parable of the prodigal son: Then Jesus turned to the sick folk and said: "I speak to you in parables that you may better understand God's word. The seven years of eating and drinking and of riotous living are the sins of the past. The wicked creditor is Satan. The debts are diseases. The heavy labor is pains. The prodigal son, he is yourselves. The payment of the debts is the casting from you of devils and diseases, and the healing of your body. The bag of silver received from the father is the liberating power of the angels. The father is God. The father's possessions are earth and heaven. The servants of the father are the angels. The father's field is the world, which is changed into the kingdom of the heavens. It is better, likewise, if the Sons of Man also obey the laws of their Heavenly Father, and work together with his angels upon his kingdom, than that they should become the debtors of Satan, the lord of death, of all sins and all diseases, and that they should suffer with pains and sweat till they have repaid all their sins. I tell you truly, great and many are your sins. Many years have you yielded to the enticings of Satan. You have been gluttonous, wine-bibbers and gone a-whoring, and your past debts have multiplied. And now you must repay them, and payment is difficult and hard. Be not, therefore, already impatient after the third day, like the prodigal son, but wait patiently for the seventh day which is sanctified by God, and then go with humble and obedient heart before the face of your Heavenly Father, that he may forgive you your sins and all your past debts. I tell you truly, your Heavenly Father loves you without end, for he also allows you to pay in seven days the debts of seven years. "

8. Mud Soaks for the Physically Crippled. "Be not discouraged, but seek for cure nigh the healer of bones, the angel of earth. For thence were your bones taken, and thither will they return." And Jesus pointed with his hand to where the running of the water and the sun's heat had softened to clayey mud the earth by the edge of the water. "Sink your feet in the mire, that the embrace of the angel of earth may draw out from your bones all uncleanness and all disease. And you will see Satan and your pains fly from the embrace of the angel of earth. And the knots of your bones will vanish away, and they will be straightened, and all your pains will disappear." And the sick followed his words, for they knew that they would be healed.

9. Jesus taught vegetarianism. "For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. ... For the wages of sin is death. Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan. For that is the path of sufferings, and it leads unto death. ... Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death."

10. Eat mostly raw foods. "Eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also. Be not like the foolish husbandman who sowed in his ground cooked, and frozen, and rotten seeds. And the autumn came, and his fields bore nothing. And great was his distress. But be like that husbandman who sowed in his field living seed, and whose field bore living ears of wheat, paying a hundredfold for the seeds which he planted. For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your souls also."

11. Sprouted Essene breads -- sun "cooked." "How should we cook our daily bread without fire, Master?" asked some with great astonishment. "Let the angels of God prepare your bread. Moisten your wheat, that the angel of water may enter it. Then set it in the air, that the angel of air also may embrace it. And leave it from morning to evening beneath the sun, that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. And the blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout in your wheat. Then crush your grain, and make thin wafers, as did your forefathers when they departed out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Put them back again beneath the sun from its appearing, and when it is risen to its highest in the heavens, turn them over on the other side that they be embraced there also by the angel of sunshine, and leave them there until the sun be set. For the angels of water, of air, and of sunshine fed and ripened the wheat in the field, and they, likewise, must prepare also your bread. And the same sun which, with the fire of life, made the wheat to grow and ripen, must cook your bread with the same fire. For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, to the bread, and to the body."

12. Eat simply and not to fullness -- 2 or 3 foods tops-- and only 2 or 1 meals daily. "Be content with two or three sorts of food, which you will find always upon the table of our Earthly Mother. And desire not to devour all things which you see around you. For I tell you truly, if you mix together all sorts of food in your body, then the peace of your body will cease, and endless war will rage in you. And when you eat, never eat unto fulness. ... So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third. Trouble not the work of the angels in your body by eating often. For I tell you truly, he who eats more than twice in the day does in him the work of Satan. Eat only when the sun is highest in the heavens, and again when it is set. And you will never see disease, for such finds favor in the eyes of the Lord. And if you will that the angels of God rejoice in your body, and that Satan shun you afar, then sit but once in the day at the table of God."

13. Eat local foods in their season. "Eat not unclean foods brought from far countries, but eat always that which your trees bear. For your God knows well what is needful for you, and where and when."

14. Chew foods until liquid, and eat slowly. "And chew well your food with your teeth, that it become water, and that the angel of water turn it into blood in your body. And eat slowly, as it were a prayer you make to the Lord. For I tell you truly, the power of God enters into you, if you eat after this manner at His table."

15. Eat when hungry, and not when angry or sad. "And enter only into the Lord's sanctuary when you feel in yourselves the call of his angels, for all that you eat in sorrow, or in anger, or without desire, becomes a poison in your body. ... And never sit at the table of God before he call you by the angel of appetite."

16. Fast on the Sabbath. "On six days feed your body with the gifts of the Earthly Mother, but on the seventh day sanctify your body for your Heavenly Father. On the seventh day eat not any earthly food, but live only on the words of God, and be all the day with the angels of the Lord in the kingdom of the Heavenly Father. And on the seventh day let the angels of God build the kingdom of the heavens in your body, as you labor for six days in the kingdom of the Earthly Mother. And let not food trouble the work of the angels in your body throughout the seventh day."

17. Awake with the sun, and sleep after the sun sets. "And God will send you each morning the angel of sunshine to wake you from your sleep. Therefore, obey your Heavenly Father's summons, and lie not idle in your beds, for the angels of air and water await you already without. And labor all day long with the angels of the Earthly Mother that you may come to know them and their works ever more and more well. But when the sun is set, and your Heavenly Father sends you his most precious angel, sleep, then take your rest, and be all the night with the angel of sleep. And then will your Heavenly Father send you his unknown angels, that they may be with you the livelong night. And the Heavenly Father's unknown angels will teach you many things concerning the kingdom of God, even as the angels that you know of the Earthly Mother, instruct you in the things of her kingdom. For I tell you truly, you will be every night the guests of the kingdom of your Heavenly Father, if you do his commandments. And when you wake up upon the morrow, you will feel in you the power of the unknown angels. And your Heavenly Father will send them to you every night, that they may build your spirit, even as every day the Earthly Mother sends you her angels, that they may build your body."

The origin of this document is said to be an ancient manuscript, possibly part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, that Edmond Bordeaux Szekely found in the "secret archives" of the Vatican. He translated and published it in 1928. Wikipedia says it is a fraud and forgery, which it may well be; but then, Wikipedia also says other natural healers like Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Lorraine Day are quacks, so I don't take that too seriously. It does espouse the healing principles that Szekely taught at his health retreat Rancho la Puerta in CA. This retreat still exists after his death and famous people like Chef AJ have been attendees and lecturers there. Many have been helped who followed these same principles of natural healing. I liked the admonition, "Let your body be henceforth a temple dedicated to your God." I don't know if it's an inspired or fraudulent document, but the natural healing principles I pulled from it are spot on and similar in message to the many other natural healers I follow.

As far as apocryphal scripture go, it doesn't get much more entertaining than this. This new age Jesus not only has something to say about the angels of air and water, but also our Earthly Mother. Pretty cool. About half the content is tough to triangulate with Jesus' other teachings, which would indicate that this account is apocryphal for good reason. However, there is some unique insight not given in other scriptural accounts (like instruction to chew food until it becomes liquid).

An eloquent text written very concisely with some very good quotes such as those mentioned below. I would like to read all four parts of this text since I was impressed by the first part.

“Happy are you that you hunger for the truth, for I will satisfy you with the bread of wisdom. Happy are you, that you knock, for I will open to you the door of life. Happy are you, that you would cast off the power of Satan, for I will lead you into the kingdom of our Mother's angels, where the power of Satan cannot enter."

“Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are.”

[Chris]

I'm not rating this as I don't know how. Edmond Szekely was a raw food enthusiast who evidently drummed up this faux quasi-religious revision of the Christian New Testament to support his own ideas that the best way to live was a combination of a sparse diet of raw food, fasting, meditation, simple living, and the occasional enema. Edmond's Jesus provides graphic instructions on how to use a gourd "with a trailing stalk the length of a man" to cleanse yourself of Satan's sins with language equally banal and horrifying. The rest of the text consists of less interesting instructions on simple living typical of your average founders of idealistic communes. Curiously, though, his ex-wife and co-founder of a successful health spa in southern California just celebrated her 102nd birthday in 2024, so maybe Edmond did know what he was talking about.

Recently a FB friend asked what I thought about the Essene Gospel. Luckily I found a pdf version freely available. As I waded into the text I wasn’t sure what to make of it, especially me having little knowledge of Biblical texts, canonical or not. What surprised me initially were the repeated references to Mother Earth, and what convinced me this was quite an oddity was the very early reference to the need for people to self-administer enemas via a gourd and stalk. At that point, I did a bit of research and found that this and other similar texts translated by Szekely are considered fakes, notwithstanding the claim they were found in secret Vatican archives. It’s an interesting read, with lots of good guidance, albeit one written in the tortured style of Biblical writing. Possibly there was a reason it was in a secret part of the Vatican library.

I grew up in a Christian church that taught me none of this. All my life I thought Jesus wasn’t for me because of how he was warped and portrayed/ whitewashed in my small hometown.
When I read this I felt like I was being welcomed home from an extremely disjointing journey. This book showed me pieces of the real Jesus who was unconditionally loving but took no shit.
I cried so many times reading this because it called to me in a way I didn’t think was real anymore.
For anyone who feels disconnected/scorned because of religious trauma; I highly recommend you read this so you can understand and connect with the REAL Jesus on your own terms💗
Jesus isn’t the church.
He is the universe and all its creatures.

I enjoyed this gospel so much.

I always thought why only heavenly father? What about the earth? Yet here in the book we learn of the earthly mother.

So beautifully written and I find it almost impossible to assume Edmond made it up.

As it often reflects the old testament and opens up new ideas as to how Jesus thought and taught.

Yet so easily the scholars claim fakery because it does not match the modern Bible yet in Ephesians 6:15 Paul the apostle of Christ says that there is a gospel of peace.

Surely this isn't it. (Sarcasm noted)
