The Essene Gospel Of Peace: 04-15-07
Each root and branch of the tree represented a different force or power. The roots represented earthly forces and powers, the Earthly Mother, the Angel of Earth, the Angel of Life, the Angel of joy, the Angel of the Sun, the Angel of Water and the Angel of Air. The seven branches represented cosmic powers, The Heavenly Father, and his Angels of Eternal Life, Creative Work, Peace, Power, Love and Wisdom. These were the Essene angels of the visible and invisible worlds.
The purpose of the Communion is to teach man the importance of union with the eternal and boundless cosmic ocean of all the superior radiations from all the planets, to make him receptive to these powers so that he may attain cosmic consciousness, enabling him to unite himself with the cosmic currents. Through this he can develop the creative abilities within him to the utmost and learn to use the creative principle in his life and surroundings.
Through this Communion man can arouse his intuitive knowledge of the eternity of life in the universe and his own unity with this eternal life and the whole cosmic order. Through it he can learn the importance of overcoming gravity in the earthly currents of thought and become conscious of the superior currents' activity and role in the individual's and the planetary evolution.
This overcoming of gravity and absorbing and utilizing the superior currents from this and all other planets were the highest mystical accomplishment of the Essenes.
What is this tree and how does it grow? It is that part of the soul that is of God the spirit within each one of us. How it flourishes is determined by what we do about its cultivation. The ductless glands of the body, called the endocrine system, is this tree in the material garden of man. Its roots are buried in the fertile soil of the glands of reproduction, the genital, or gonads.
The lyden or Leydig gland is the seat of the soul, it is located just a little above and behind the gonads or glands of reproduction. As the soul moves to create either in the spiritual, the mental or material expression, the gonad is alerted by the pineal gland; it acts as the motor, the heartbeat, that responds to the divine purpose of all creation.
The will directs that life force, that spiritual impulse from the pineal gland along the trunk to the solar plexus, and as it flows through those centers of balance, the adrenals, between the material and the spiritual the image of that to be, whether it be for weal or woe, is influenced according to the desire of its creator.
Its next stop is the thymus, within the heart, where love or hate is the choice made by the will directing the life force, as its perfect or imperfect result. As it rises to the thyroid, the seat of the will in the throat, it is subjected to the complete direction of the will either to rise into the pineal and become subject to the Christ influence or remain in the four material centers to complete that imaged.
If the will of the soul doing the creating is amenable to the Christ, as it passes this center it flows on into the holy of holies, the pituitary center, the house of the living God, within each soul.
If its ideal and purpose has become one with the Christ and the desire is to be one with the Father, the door is opened, the richest gifts of the Kingdom are available, the cup that runneth over is set before the Son of God and if his will now comes under the will of the Father and is directed by Him, nothing is impossible, miracles happen, the sun can stand sill, the waters of a mighty river can be parted, the leprous body instantly be made clean. This is the way, this is that that Jesus had become when He called Lazarus from the tomb; He became that spiritual creative energy because He was one in mind and purpose with His creator.
This position of man in the center of the Tree, with the earthly forces below him and the heavenly forces above, also corresponds to the position of the organs in the physical body. The gastric and generative tracts in the lower half of the body, being instruments of self-preservation and self-perpetuation, belong to the earthly forces. Whereas the lungs and brain, in the upper half of the body, are the instruments of breathing and thinking and thus connect man with the finer forces of the universe.
Man, in the center of the Tree, was seen to be surrounded as in a magnetic field, by all the forces, or angels, of heaven and earth. He was pictured as in the meditation posture, the upper half of his body above the ground and the lower half in the earth. This indicated that part of man is allied to the forces of heaven and part to the forces of earth. Contact with the angelic forces represented by the Tree of Life was the very essence of the daily life of the Essenes. They knew that to be in harmony with these forces they must make conscious effort to contact them. The Essenes were spoken of by the ancient writers as an extremely practical people. Their concepts were not just theories; they knew exactly how to be continually aware of the forces about them and how to absorb their power and put them into action in their daily lives.
They had the deep wisdom to understand that these forces were sources of energy, knowledge and harmony by which man can transform his organism into a more and more sensitive instrument to receive and consciously utilize the forces. Furthermore, they considered that to put himself into harmony with the forces of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother was man's most important activity in life.
