the Lost Teachings

In the 1920's, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, Ph.D., gained access to the archives of the Vatican and came across some of the teachings attributed to Jesus that are not included in The New Testament. His efforts have resulted in the translation and printing of the Essene Gospel of Peace into 26 languages. Since then, over one million copies have been sold and the price of this manuscript remains only one dollar. If you have never read it, I highly recommend it!
The contents of The Essene Gospel of Peace represent about one third of the complete manuscripts that exist in Aramaic in the secret archives of the Vatican and in old Slavonic in the Royal Archives of the Hapsburgs. The ancient Aramaic texts date from the Third Century after Christ while the old Slavonic version is a literal translation of the former.
Szekely was a well-known philologist who worked in Sanskrit, Aramaic, Greek and Latin, and spoke ten modern languages. Some of his most important translations are texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Essene Gospel of Peace, the Zend Avesta, and from the pre-Columbian Codices of Ancient Mexico.
The following teachings are from the Essene Gospel of Peace. On page 39 Jesus says, "But I say to you: kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death [emphasis mine]. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also."
On page 40, Jesus gives details about how to make raw essence bread: "Let the angels of God prepare your bread. Moisten your wheat, that the angel of water may enter it. Then set it in the air, that the angel of air also may embrace it. And leave it from morning to evening beneath the sun, that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. And the blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout in your wheat. Then crush your grain, and make thin wafers, as did your forefathers when they departed out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Put them back again beneath the sun from its appearing, and when it is risen to its highest in the heavens, turn them over on the other side that they be embraced there also by the angel of sunshine, and leave them there until the sun be set. For the angels of water, of air, and of sunshine fed and ripened the wheat in the field, and they, likewise, must prepare also your bread. And the same sun which, with the fire of life, made the wheat to grow and ripen, must cook your bread with the same fire! For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, to the bread, and to the body. But the fire of death kills the wheat, the bread, and the body."
Jesus goes on to give nutritional advice on how to stay disease free. "So eat always from the table of God the fruits of the trees [fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans], the grains and grasses of the field, the milk of beasts, and the honey of bees. For everything beyond these is of Satan, and leads by the way of sins and of diseases unto death. But the foods which you eat from the abundant table of God give strength and youth to your body, and you will never see disease."
The milk was of course, consumed raw, not pasteurized and homogenized, which destroys the enzymes needed to digest it and denatures the nutrients. Studies have shown that calves fed pasteurized milk always die. Cows in nature eat raw, unadulterated grass and herbs. Most cows today are fed dried grains that have been sprayed with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and anti-fungal agents and then stored for long periods, sometimes becoming moldy. I do not advocate raw milk today because of the risk of tuberculosis, scrofula and other disease-causing microbes that can be transmitted to humans through consuming raw milk. (Refer to "Food-Borne Illness" in chapter 7 for further information.)
In the Essene Gospel of Peace, Jesus also tells people to eat whole food, not processed foods, and speaks of food combining. "Eat, therefore, all your life at the table of our Earthly Mother, and you will never see want. And when you eat at her table, eat all things even as they are found on the table of the Earthly Mother. Cook not, neither mix all things one with another, lest your bowels become as steaming bogs [emphasis mine].
"Take heed, therefore, and defile not with all kinds of abominations the temple of your bodies. Be content with two or three sorts of food that you will find always upon the table of our Earthly Mother. And desire not to devour all things which you see around you. For I tell you truly, if you mix together all sorts of food in your body, then the peace in your body will cease, and endless war will rage in you. And it will be blotted out even as homes and kingdoms divided against themselves." He says two or three types of food. I believe that means, for example, several types of leafy green vegetables count as one type of food.
Jesus (as well as the ancient yogic teachings) gives advice to eat to two-thirds of the stomach's capacity for optimum health (pg. 42).
"And when you eat, never eat unto fullness. Flee the temptations of Satan, and listen to the voices of God's angels. For Satan and his power tempt you always to eat more and more. But live by the spirit, and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third."
Macrobiotics teaches to eat locally grown foods and foods that are in season. Over two thousand years ago, these principles were also taught (page 43). "From the coming of the month of Ijar, eat barley; from the month of Sivan, eat wheat, the most perfect among all seed-bearing herbs. [Jesus probably was speaking of kamut since modern wheat has been hybridized and did not exist two thousand years ago.]... In the month of Elul, gather the grape that the juice may serve you as drink. In the month of Marchesuan, gather the sweet grape, dried and sweetened by the angel of sun (raisins) that your bodies may increase, for the angels of the Lord dwell in them. You should eat figs rich in juice in the months of Ab and Shebat, and what remain, let the angel of sun keep them for you (sun-dried figs); eat them with the meat of almonds in all the months when the trees bear no fruits. And the herbs that come after rain, these eat in the month of Thebet, that your blood may be cleansed of all your sins." To me this sounds like blood-cleansing herbs.
"Eat not unclean foods brought from far countries, but eat always that which your trees bear. For your God knows well what is needful for you, and where and when. And he gives to all peoples of all kingdoms for food that which is best for each. Eat not as the heathen do who stuff themselves in haste, defiling their bodies with all manner of abominations."
Jesus said, (pages 36 - 37) "And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb, for I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and who so eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison [meat acidifies the blood]; in his breath their breath to stink [carnivores have very short intestines so flesh leaves their bodies quickly but humans have long intestines like herbivores so when we eat flesh it putrefies before it can leave the body and can cause foul breath]; in his bones their bones to chalk [it is now proven that the excess protein in meat can cause osteoporosis] in his bowels, their bowels to decay [does it not sound like he is talking about colon cancer? the link between colon cancer and red meat has been established by modern science]."
Why these teachings have been kept secret in the catacombs of the Vatican for all these years one can only speculate. They make sense to me and I intend to share them, as Jesus may have.
