About 100 years ago, E. Szekely discovered a manuscript of unprecedented significance in the secret archives of the Vatican. The Gospel of the Essenes (EE) contained a mystery whose words and teachings felt strangely familiar - almost as if they had sprung from the New Testament (NT). However, it soon became clear that the document contradicted the established beliefs of the NT.
The Essene Baptizer taught self-responsibility. While Christian doctrine portrays humans as inherently bad and therefore incapable of keeping divine commandments, the Essene Baptizer revealed that perfection was the goal of humanity on Earth. This bold assertion challenged the foundations of established religion.
In the NT, Jesus emphasizes the harmlessness of consuming meat, while in the EE, there is an exhortation to treat animals as our brothers, protect them, and consider meat consumption the greatest sin against our own bodies and souls. The NT depicts women as subordinate to men, whereas the Essene Baptizer praises them as the spiritual strength of men. Additionally, the Earth, which plays no role in Christian doctrine, is referred to by the Essene Baptizer as our mother, to be nurtured and protected.
While the NT does not prioritize physical health, the Essene Prophet saw physical purity and health as the foundation for spiritual well-being. He explained that all humans were inherently impure but carried within themselves the key to health, happiness, and perfection.
The Prophet taught a philosophy of life in harmony with nature. He translated the language of nature, in which God's laws were recorded and created with the Earth. The present translation is based on the original English text.
Part 2:
For 90 years the mystery of the similarity of affinity between the NT and the Gospel of the Essenes remained unsolved. By a happy coincidence, I managed to unravel this mystery. The Essen brothers had once written down these words and whispered their message over the millennia, while the New Testament took root in the hearts of the people.
Fate led me to the forgotten pages. Thus began my journey, an odyssey through time that took me through dusty library corridors and silent nights of meditation. I discovered hidden parallels that invisibly connected the EE with the writings of the NT.
In my trilogy "The Secret of the True Gospel," I wove the words into a novel. The surgical precision of my research revealed the unbelievable truth: the NT is a plagiarism, a distorted mirror that obscured the light of the EE for millennia. The present work is a summary of the facts that authenticate the 2000-year-old Gospel of the Essenes - including writings from Nag Hammadi and the Mar Saba Monastery.
My mission: to bring this deception, which led the world into chaos, to light. If the Essene philosophy of life had not been distorted 2000 years ago, we would all be vegetarians today, and no animal would suffer. We would have nurtured and protected the Earth, and the elements - water, air, and earth - would remain pure and sacred, as they were at their creation. Disease would be a distant memory, and the oppression of women a chapter from a dark past.
Yet the lie, spreading like a cancer, gave rise to countless religions that continue to fight each other to this day, with no end in sight. The truth about God remains veiled, and the world teeters in chaos.
This revelation can potentially bring all religious leaders to the table and establish world peace.
