The Essene Gospel of Peace,

Book 3,

Part 6 This section is called The Stars.

The white shining far seen stars.

The piercing health bringing far piercing stars.

Air shining rays.

Their brightness and glory are all through thy holy law the speakers of thy praise,

O Heavenly Father.

O the face of heaven did the Heavenly Father hurl his might,

And lo he did leave a river of stars in his wake.

We invoke the bright and glorious stars that wash away all things of fear,

And bring health and life unto all creations.

We invoke the bright and glorious stars to which the Heavenly Father hath given a thousand senses.

The glorious stars that have within themselves the seed of light and of water.

Unto the bright and glorious stars do we offer up an invocation with wisdom,

Power and love.

With speech,

Deeds and rightly spoken words do we sacrifice unto the bright and glorious stars that fly towards the heavenly sea as swiftly as the arrow darteth through heavenly space.

We invoke the bright and glorious stars that stand out beautiful,

Spreading comfort and joy as they commune with themselves.

The holy works,

The stars,

The suns,

And the many coloured dawn which bringeth on the light of days are all through their heavenly order the speakers of thy praise,

O Thou great giver,

The holy law.

We invoke the Lord of the stars,

The angel of light,

The ever awake,

Who taketh possession of all beautiful,

Wide,

Expanding law greatly and powerfully,

And whose face looketh over all the seven and seven kingdoms of the earth.

Who is swift amongst the swift,

Bountiful amongst the bounteous,

Strong amongst the strong,

The giver of increase,

The giver of sovereignty,

The giver of cheerfulness and bliss.

We invoke the Lord of the stars,

The angel of light,

Who is truth-speaking,

With a thousand ears and ten thousand eyes,

With full knowledge,

Strong and ever awake.

The heavenly order pervades all things pure,

Whose are the stars,

In whose light the glorious angels are clothed.

Great is our heavenly Father,

And of great power his understanding is infinite.

He telleth the number of the stars,

He calleth them all by their names,

And behold the height of the stars,

How high they are.

Yet the heavenly Father doth hold them in his palms,

As we do sift the sand in ours.

He who knoweth not the holy law is as a wandering star in the darkness of an unknown sky.

Thinkest thou there is but one way to see the firmament?

Suppose ye the stars were but broken places in the sky,

Through which the glory of heaven is revealed in fragments of blazing light.

In the purple light,

Traversed by the continual stars,

Shall the souls of the children of light take wing and join the angels of the heavenly Father.

Then shall the eternal sea reflect the shining glory of the heavens,

And the branches of the tree of life reached to the stars.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven fill all the earth with glory,

And the shining stars of the Most High shall blaze within the hearts of the children of light,

And warm and comfort the seeking sons of men.

The Moon Unto the luminous moon,

Which heapeth within itself the seed of many species,

Let there be invocation with sacrifice and prayer.

When the light of the moon waxeth warmer,

Golden-hued plants grow up from the earth during the season of spring.

We sacrifice unto the new moons,

And unto the full moons.

The crescent of the new moon is full of holy peace,

And we sacrifice unto the angel of peace.

The radiant and luminous moon keepeth within itself the seed,

The bright,

The glorious,

The water-giving,

The warmth-giving,

The wisdom-giving,

The thoughtfulness-giving,

The freshness-giving,

And the healing one,

The moon of peace.

With silent and peace-giving light the moon doth shine upon the pastures,

The abodes,

The waters,

The lands and the plants of our earthly garden.

The moon and the sun,

The holy wind and the stars without beginning,

Self-determined and self-moved,

All the regulators of the holy order,

Of the days and nights,

Of the months and years.

The face of the moon doth change its aspect,

Yet it is ever the same,

As the holy law doth reveal a different face to each of the children of light,

Yet it is unchanged in its essence.

We invoke the new moon and the moon that is waning,

And the full moon that scattereth the night,

And the yearly festivals and the seasons of the heavenly Father.

For it was he who gavest the moon,

Her increase and her decrease,

That through her we might know the movements of the day and of the night.

Thou silver and luminous moon,

We are grateful that we may look on thee and see in thy reflection the blessed face of our earthly mother.

Among the world of the sons of men,

The brothers of light are flames of radiance,

As the stars pale in the presence of the bright and shining moon,

The moon walketh in brightness across the sky,

And delight in the holy law doth fill our hearts.

Peace,

Peace,

Peace,

Holy angel of peace,

Illumine the silver moon with thy holiness,

That all may look upon its beauty and feel thy eternal peace.

The desert sky is blue with night,

And we see the first ray of the new moon,

Chaste and beautiful,

Then do the brothers greet one another,

Saying,

Peace be with thee,

Peace be with thee.

Psalms of praise and thanksgiving.

I am grateful,

Heavenly Father,

For thou hast raised me to an eternal height,

And I walk in the wonders of the plain.

Thou gavest me guidance to reach thine eternal company from the depths of the earth.

Thou hast purified my body to join the army of 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.

Hail to the heavenly Father.

Give thanks unto the heavenly Father for he is good.

Give thanks unto the God of the angels.

Give thanks unto the Lord of light for his mercy endureth forever.

To him who alone doeth great wonders.

To him that by wisdom made the heavens.

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters.

To him that made great lights in the heavens.

To him that made the sun to rule by day and the moon and stars to rule by night.

Give unending praise and thanksgiving for his mercy endureth forever.

And we do worship the ancient and holy religion that was instituted at the creation.

Which was on the earth at the time of the great trees.

The holy religion of the creator.

The resplendent and the glorious revealed unto our Father Enoch.

We do worship the creator and the fire of life and the good waters which are holy and the resplendent sun and the moon and the lustrous glorious stars.

And most of all we do worship the holy law which the creator,

Our heavenly Father hath given to us.

It is the law which maketh holy our dwelling place.

Which is the wide green earth.

Praise ye the law.

The law healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds.

Great is the law and of great power.

The understanding of the law is infinite.

The law lifteth up the meek and casteth the wicked down to the ground.

Sing unto the law with thanksgiving.

Sing praise upon the harp unto the law.

Which covereth the heaven with clouds.

Which prepareth rain for the earth.

Which maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

We praise aloud the well-thought thought.

The word well-spoken and the deed well-done.

We will come to thee,

O ye bountiful immortals.

We will come to thee extolling and invoking thee.

Angels of the heavenly Father and the earthly Mother,

We do worship the holy land of the heavenly order.

The creator of all good creatures on the earth.

And we do worship the utterances of our Father Enoch and his ancient pure religion.

His faith and his law,

Older than the beginning of time.

We will sing unto the law as long as we live.

We will sing praise unto our heavenly Father while we have our being.

While the garden of the Braahood doth endure.

Our communions with the angels shall be sweet.

We will be glad in the law.

Bless thou the law,

O my soul.

Praise ye the holy law.

The children of light love the law.

Because the law heareth our voices and our supplications.

And all hearing ear hath the law inclined unto us.

Therefore will we call upon the law as long as we live.

The law hath delivered our souls from death,

Our eyes from tears,

And our feet from falling.

We will walk before the law in the land of the living,

In the paths of the infinite garden of the brotherhood.

The days of the sons of men are as grass,

As flowers of the field so they flourish.

For the wind passeth over them and they are gone.

But the mercy of the law is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that follow it.

Bless the heavenly Father,

All ye his angels.

Ye ministers of his that do his pleasure.

Bless the Lord,

All his works,

In all places of his dominion.

Bless the Lord,

O my soul.

O heavenly Father,

Thou art very great.

Thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment?

Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain?

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters?

Who maketh the clouds his chariot?

Who walketh upon the wings of the wind?

Who maketh his angels' spirits,

His children of light,

A flaming fire to kindle the truth in the hearts of the sons of men?

Who laid the foundations of the earth?

Bless the heavenly Father,

O my soul.
