(09:17:27) (Roz) Moses wanted his followers to realize that they are in constant contact, every moment of their lives and in all points of their being, with all the forces of life and the visible and invisible universe; and if they contact these powers consciously, and become continually conscious of them, they will enjoy perfect health, happiness and harmony in body and mind and every department of their lives.
(09:17:28) (diane) Amen
(09:18:15) (Roz) The method of contacting these forces was engraved on the two stone tablets he brought down from Mt. Sinai but destroyed when he found the masses of his people were not ready for the teaching, even as the masses of mankind are not ready for it today and may not be for many generations to come. But to the few who were ready he taught the method given on the tablets, the Communions with the angels, which has been preserved through the

(09:30:22) (GG) Now that's understandin' fer ya.
(09:30:42) (Raleigh) the 1st 5 deal with god / the last 5 deal with man /
(09:32:55) (Roz) In later Essene traditions the abstract idea of the Law was conveyed by the symbol of a tree, called the Tree of Life. Moses had received a great revelation when he saw the burning bush in the desert. This represented two aspects of universal life: warmth and light. The warmth of the fire symbolized the fire of life, vitality in the material world.
(09:33:02) (diane) oops, think it's the first 3 with God, cause 4th is honor father and mother, Ral
(09:33:28) (Raleigh) k
(09:33:59) (Roz) The warmth of the fire symbolized the fire of life, vitality in the material world. The light, symbolizing man's consciousness, represented the light of wisdom as opposed to the darkness of ignorance in the immaterial universe. Together they represent the whole universe and the idea that man in the center draws life and vitality from all the forces of the cosmos.The warmth of the fire symbolized the fire of life, vitality in the mat
(09:34:54) (Roz) The Essenes symbolized this teaching in their Tree of Life which pictured to them in a concrete form that man was a unity of energy, thoughts and emotions and a unit of life force constantly communing with the totality of energies in the universe. Moses wished to see man living in harmony with the laws which govern all these energies inside and outside man, and to become conscious of them and utilize them in every moment of life.
(09:35:48) (Roz) In his study of the totality of the Law, Moses attained an intuitive knowledge of the origin of the world and the beginning of all things. It was from this beginning of all things he derived the laws for daily life.
(09:36:33) (Roz) He learned that all things are parts of the whole, put together according to law; and the seven elements or basic forces of life appeared in seven great cycles of creation, one element in each cycle. He learned that all things are parts of the whole, put together according to law; and the seven elements or basic forces of life appeared in seven great cycles of creation, one element in each cycle. He learned that all things are parts
(09:38:37) (Roz) He grouped the days of the week into a corresponding cycle of seven, considering each day to correspond to a different one of the elements. This was symbolized in Essene traditions by the seven candlesticks
(09:39:36) (Roz) , the candles of which were lit every seventh day, the sabbath, to remind man of the seven cycles and the seven basic forces of the visible world and the seven basic powers of the invisible world of man's consciousness.
(09:39:58) (Roz) like the Chakras
(09:40:01) (Raleigh) 7 elements ?
(09:40:07) (diane) there are also 7 fruits of the Spirit
(09:40:34) (Raleigh) fire earth air water / what are the other 3?
(09:40:35) (Roz) so right
(09:40:45) (Roz) The present work is concerned with the meaning of the Essene traditions in relation to their values for mankind today and the actual practices which result in an expansion of consciousness. These values may be considered from four standpoints.
(09:41:27) (Roz) ·The Essene traditions represent a synthesis of the great contributions to humanity of the different cultures of antiquity.
(09:42:07) (Roz) ·They represent for us a path leading away from the one-sided utilitarian technology of contemporary civilization, a valid and practical teaching utilizing all the sources of energy, harmony and knowledge everywhere surrounding us.
(09:42:25) (Merri) what would be the seven basic forces of the "invisible" world?
(09:42:57) (Roz) the chakras Merri
(09:43:12) (Roz) They give us permanent standards in an age where truth seems to dissolve in a continual shifting of concepts.
(09:44:45) (Roz) got any other ideas ? let do talk about that
(09:45:12) (Roz) I'll do some research
(09:45:22) (Roz) This resulting neurosis and insecurity is given a complete balance and harmony through the Essene teachings.
(09:47:04) (Roz) It was known by many of the ancient peoples that these invisible forces were a source of energy and power, and that man's life was sustained by contact with them. They knew that to the degree man was able to utilize these forces, he would move forward in his individual evolution in body and spirit, and as he put himself in harmony with them, his life would prosper. Certain of the people not only knew of these forces but had specific
