The Essene Holy Communion For FRIDAY

Angel of Air / The Heavenly Father
Sabbath and Fasting begins 18 minutes prior to sunset
Evening and morning and at noonday I will pray; and He shall hear my voice.  ~ Psalms 55:15
SEASONAL FOCUS:   Flowers announce the promise of fruition.
The Angel of Air – Friday Morning.
The purpose of this Communion was to make man conscious of the dynamic unity between air and life and that breath is the link between the organism and the cosmos.
THE PHYSICAL COMMUNION:   The inbreath and outbreath of the cosmos is contemplated this day.  Continually bring your awareness to your breath, taking long, deep inhalations frequently.  Contemplate the “stillpoint,” the moment between exhalation and inhalation. The point where we “die” with each outbreath, and are “reborn” with each inbreath.
THE DEEPENING:   In the gentle breeze of the forests and in the winds of the fields, thou shalt find the Angel of Air. Breath long and deeply, for the rhythm of thy breath is the key of knowledge which will unlock the secrets of the Holy Law.
MORNING COMMUNION:   Angel of AIR, I invoke thee; for no man may come before the face of God whom the Angel of Air hath not passed. Thy body must breath the air of the Earthly Mother before thy spirit may breath the Holy Law of thy Heavenly Father. And as each morning comes, I shall embrace thee.
MEDITATION:   This morning brings a different breeze. The winds of inner change and reflection. These winds blow strong as I unfurl my sails and set a course for yet another journey. May the wind be my guide, and the calmness of the truth lead my way.
NOON CONTEMPLATION:  
Peace with the EARTHLY MOTHER — Blessed is the Child of Light who knoweth the Earthly Mother and brings peace unto her. Know that thy Mother is in thee and Thou art in her, for she is the sustainer and the provider of all life.   The Heavenly Father – Friday Evening. This Communion with the Heavenly Father, was the Essenes’ central communion, dedicated to the totality of cosmic laws and to the realization that the universe is a process of continuous creation in which man must take his part.
EVENING COMMUNION:   The HEAVENLY FATHER and I are One; Thou hast made known unto me the deepest of mysteries. By thy fourteen fruits of the Tree of Life thou hast directed my heart, and guided my steps, that I may walk in your presence and dwell eternally in the essence of the divine.   (Sabbath Begins)
THE BLESSING:   What is man, that thou art be so mindful of he? Thou hast made a covenant with the Children of Light, and thou hast given unto all the Holy Law. To some it has been lost, and to some it is forgotten. But to some it is lived, and those whom walk with thy Holy Angels shall dwell forever in the kingdoms of God.

Hear me, Sons of Light, for I will impart to you the gift of tongues, that by speaking to your Earthly Mother in the morning, and to your Heavenly Father in the evening, you may go closer and closer to oneness with the kingdoms of earth and heaven, that oneness for which the Son of Man is destined from the beginning of the times.  ~ Essene Gospel of Peace
With the coming of day I embrace my Mother. With the coming of night I join my Father. With the outgoing of the evening and morning I will breathe their Law. And I will not interrupt these Communions until the end of time.  ~ Manual of Discipline – Dead Sea Scrolls

The Essene Holy Communion For MONDAY

Angel of Life / Angel of Peace   

Evening and morning and at noonday I will pray; and He shall hear my voice.  ~Psalms 55:15
 —
SEASONAL FOCUS:   Flowers announce the promise of fruition.
The Angel Of Life – Monday Morning.  This Communion was dedicated to the life, health and vitality of the human organism and that of the planet and brought about a dynamic unity between them.
THE PHYSICAL COMMUNION:  A day of practicing silence. Change nothing in your daily routine with the exception of talking. “See” the world around you. Contemplate how the medium of speech dilutes the meaning of actions and intentions. Always abstain from false speech, idle gossip and making promises that cannot be kept.
—————————

THE DEEPENING:   God so made life and ALL living things that they, by the living word, would teach the laws of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother, to the sons and the daughters of men.
MORNING COMMUNION:   Angel of LIFE I invoke thee; for in everything that has life is the Holy Law written. In the grass, in the flowers, in the forest and in the trees. In the animals, and the birds and the fishes in the seas. All life speaks to us and if we listen, we can understand the tongue and the will of the living God.
MEDITATION:  The life-force within me cries out. That which I am longs for experience, and to know, and to understand. May I gain the wisdom of the connectedness with all that there is, for I am the one, and I am the many.
NOON CONTEMPLATION OF PEACE:   Peace with the MIND. Evil thoughts cannot abide in a mind filled with the Light of the Holy Law. He who hath found Peace with the Mind, hath learned to soar beyond the realm of the Angels; For I tell you truly, the lightning that cleaves the mighty oak, or the quaking that opens great cracks in the earth, are as the play of children, compared to the powers of the thoughts of men.
The Angel of Peace – Monday Evening.
The Communion with the Angel of Peace was dedicated to man’s deep inner intuition of peace within himself, with the earth, and with the cosmos.
EVENING COMMUNION:  Angel of PEACE I invoke thee. Cast your blessings to the peoples of the world and to all that are weary or do suffer. And as long as the sun and moon endure, and throughout all the generations to come, may peace prevail over the earth as the waters cover the sea. And in remembrance of thee, I shall ever greet my brother by your name, and as each evening comes, I shall embrace thee.   ~ Peace be with you.
THE BLESSING:  The whispering of a flame invokes peace within me. Reminding me of my task and of my journey. I have been given a peaceful heart and my path is before me. I joyfully take up the task, to reach the center, and to realize that I am a channel for peace.

Thou hast purified my body to join the angels of the earth, and my spirit to reach the congregation of the heavenly angels. Thou gavest man eternity to praise at dawn and dusk Thy works and wonders in joyful song.  ~ from the Thanksgiving Psalms; The Dead Sea Scrolls

The Communions are a bridge between man and the angels. And like a bridge, can only be built with patience. Yea, even as a bridge over a river that is fashioned with the stones that are found along the water’s edge. ~Gospel of the Essenes
