From the Essenes Gospel of Peace: Excerpts from Book One – Purification in God’s Love, Part 1 of 2

In 1947, a young Bedouin boy at Qumran, on the banks of the Dead Sea, discovered a ceramic pot inside an empty cave. Within the broken pot were pages of ancient texts. A total of 850 sacred texrs were eventually discovered, all around 2000 years old. These scriptures, now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, contained many details about an ancient spiritual group called the Essenes. Other teachings of the Essenes have been unearthed from the Secret Archives of the Vatican. We’ll now read from the Essene Gospel of Peace, a text endowed with eye-opening ancient wisdom for all times. “Therefore, I say to you, love your true brothers in the will of God a thousand times more than your brothers by blood. FOR YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS LOVE. FOR YOUR EARTHLY MOTHER IS LOVE. FOR THE SON OF MAN IS LOVE. It is by love, that the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother and the Son of Man become one. For the Spirit of the Son of Man was created from the Spirit of the Heavenly Father, and His body from the body of the Earthly Mother. Become, therefore, perfect as the Spirit of your Heavenly Father and the body of your Earthly Mother are perfect.”
