THE ESSENE COMMUNIONS:THEIR PURPOSE AND MEANING

Hear me, Sons of Light, for I will impart to you the gift of tongues, that by speaking toyour Earthly Mother in the morning, and to your Heavenly Father in the evening, you

may go closer and loser 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

The symbolic Tree of Life enabled the Essenes to understand how they were surrounded by forces, or

angels, from the visible world of nature and the invisible cosmic world. The Communions show how each

of these forces is utilized in man's body and consciousness.

The Communions are said to have been originated by Enoch, or Enoch, and were again brought forth by

Moses to Israel, the elect of the people, on the two stone tablets he first brought down from Mount Sinai.

The second set of tablets he brought down contained the Ten Commandments, the outer teaching, which

he gave to the rest of the people, Israel. But the small minority, Israel, or the Essenes, from that time on,

held their communions morning and evening, to the earthly and heavenly forces, regulating their lives

according to the inspiration received from them.

The Communions three immediate objectives

The first is to make man conscious of the activities of the different forces and forms of energy which

surround him and perpetually flow toward him from nature and the cosmos.

The second is to make him aware of the organs and centers within his being which can receive these

currents of energy.

The third is to establish a connection between the organs and centers and their, corresponding forces so as

to absorb, control and utilize each current.

The Essenes knew that man has different bodily systems to absorb the different energies from food, air,

water, solar radiation and so on; and they knew that each individual must control and utilize these powers

for himself though his own conscious efforts and that no one could do it for him.

The Communions were practiced each morning and evening, a different earthly force being meditated

upon each morning upon arising, and a different heavenly force each evening before retiring, each day ofthe week. This made a total of fourteen communions during each seven day period.

At each of the Communions the designated force was concentrated upon, contemplated and meditated

upon so that its power could be absorbed and then consciously utilized.

The Evening Communions

In the same way that the seven mornings of the week were devoted to the forces of the visible

world, the seven evenings were given to the powers of the invisible realms, or the Angels of the

Heavenly Father.

The Angel of Eternal Life - Saturday Evening. This Communion was the Essenes' central

communion, dedicated to the totality of cosmic laws and to the realization that the universe is aprocess of continuous creation in which man must take his part.

The Angel of Creative Work -Sunday Evening. The purpose of the Communion was to teachthe importance of creative work and its paramount role in the individual's evolution.

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 and with all the infinite universe.

The Angel of Power - Tuesday Evening. The Essenes conceived of the whole universe as acosmic ocean of life in which currents of cosmic power are continually uniting all forms of life

on all planets and connecting man with all other organisms.

The Angel of Love - Wednesday Evening. Love was considered by the Essenes to be the

highest creative feeling and they held that a cosmic ocean of love exists everywhere uniting all

forms of life and, that life itself is an expression of love.

The Angel of Wisdom - Thursday Evening. Thought was held by the Essenes to be both a

cosmic and a physical function. They considered the cosmic ocean of thought pervading allspace, containing all thoughts, as the highest and most powerful of all energies. It never

diminishes and is never lost.

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.

him, and he falls again and again to the earth. But he tries again and one day he soars

intentions of the Sons of Men. The longer one walks with the angels and keeps theirLaw, the stronger ones thoughts shall become in Holy Wisdom. The day will come

soar to everlasting life in the kingdoms of the Heavenly Father.

nature toil unendingly for the benefit of all. For this we are blessed. The kingdom

Invocations, Meditations andBrachot

(Blessings/Prayers)before performing the Great Work:

Kabbalistic Rituals to be done before Tikkun Chatzos (Devotions during Dawn such as Torah

Study and meditations) and Midnight Avodah (Worship/Service) for the Invocation of the Divine

Presence (Shekhinah HaKodesh) of Blessed Infinite One, its Angelic Hosts and all the Souls of

the Tzaddikim (Righteous) and the Chassidim (Pious) for spiritual guidance, support and

illumination especially when performing theurgical works such as Meditations of the Shem-

HaMeforash/HaShem Ayin-Beth (Seventy-Two Letter Names of Angels) and Hisbodedus

(Meditations).

Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Kochav (Pentacle):

This ritual is performed by all advanced students and masters of the Kabbalah and is to

be found in within the domain of Practical Kabbalah (higher teachings of Theurgy or

Divine Magic) which was passed down by Moshe to Aharon to which he passed it to the

Kohanim for the succeeding generations until this ritual became known to King Solomon

(who utilized it in order to lay the Foundation Stone of the Beit HaMikdash or Holy

Temple).

It is used to establish a Circle or a Point wherein the Shechinah (Divine Presence) of the

Holy One, Blessed Be He, may dwell. It sets the four cardinal Angels (Raphael, Michael,

Gavriel and Auriel) in its place so that it may serve as guardians which will protect and

shield the practitioner from negative influences during the Great Work. It also heightens

Spiritual Consciousness and uplifts the levels of the Soul in order to establish a

successful Channeling of Divine Light from the Upper Worlds. The Four Cardinals

Points are invoked in order for it to serve as a Merkabah (Chariot) for the practitioner

which leads and guides him to the domain of the PaRDeS.
