DAY 3
Oh dear...well I didnt meditate last night...I felt it was too late by the time I got around to it. I must work on this...as I need to sleep and get a pattern going.
I meditated this morning. I was tired...it was noticably not as intense...but the white light was visibly more intesne it seemed.
SO I really must keep going..and not stop.
My copy of the Nag Hammadi Library arrived today...geez its a bit thick...oh well....I am still reading the essene related fiction book " the Moon Under Her Feet " which is at least interesting...
This feminist retelling of the conception, birth, life and death of Christ as narrated by Mary Magdalene may cause some uproar in Christian circles. Yeshua (Christ) is born to Almah Mari (the Virgin Mary) after her union in Sacred Marriage at the Temple in Jerusalem with an unblemished man who kills himself as a sacrifice for his people. Later Mari Anath becomes Magdalene, or High Priestess of the Goddess, and assumes co-rule with Jehovah, succeeding Almah Mari. Mari Anath follows Yeshua in the years of his ministry, despite objections from some adherents who call her harlot because they oppose the double worship of the Goddess and Jehovah and the equality of sexes that relationship im plies. But days before the crucifixion, when Yeshua sacrifices himself, he and the Magdalene are united in Sacred Marriage in the Temple before the people. Mari Anath gives birth to Yeshua's daughter Anna after she and Judas (who is The Christos's twin brother and betrays him at his behest in order to fulfill the prophesy) flee to Gaul to make a new life. First novelist Kinstler, a professor of philosophy, mines the literature of myth to make this lyrically written interpretation plausible. She provides notes and a bibliography to buttress much of her tale.
Narrative weaving the biblical account of Mary and Jesus, the Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris, and the Sumerian story of Inanna and Dumuzi to create an exotic tale of a strong, sensual woman.
More on this when I have finished it....I have to write a book report as part of my essene studies....
Frankly I didnt think all that much of "the Way of the Essenes " it WAS an enjoyable read...yes..I DID want to read on as I was reading it. Further in its defense it DID make me think..I did like the mystical views that were inherant within the pages.....ways of looking at things....and secrets such as the allusion toward rosicrucian and essenic rosarys........
Did it teach me much about the Essenes themselves? yes some.....but I would have liked more..I also would have liked more about Christ....I'd give it a 7/10...
As for my essene lesson 2...well it was long I need to re -read it...it essentially was arguing that the Essenes are not Jewish...but are related....but a re -read is def . required tonight.
