Essene Gospel of Peace: Book 4, The Teachings of the Elect [Paperback]

Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (Editor, Translator)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1981

Book Four, The Teachings of the Elect, will come as a surprise to those readers who are aware of Dr. Szekely's death in 1979. If I were also a philologist, or scholar, or archeologist, I might be able to provide some explanation. But I am only his faithful famulus amanuensis, and the instructions he left me were clear and explicit: "Two years after my death, you shall publish Book Four of The Essene Gospel of Peace." That was all, and I am now carrying out that wish. This book Four, The Teachings of the Elect, represents yet another fragment of the complete manuscript which exists in Aramaic in the Secret Archives of the Vatican and in old Slavonic in the Royal Library of the Habsburgs (now the property of the Austrian government). As to the reason for the delay in its publication, I can only surmise that Dr. Szekely wanted the vivid reality of these ageless truths to stand alone, obscured even by the presence of the translator. He did say in his Preface to the first London edition of Book One in 1937 that " we have issued this part before the rest because it is the part of which suffering humanity has most need today." Perhaps, in the same way, the troubled world of forty-four years later needs this fourth volume of The Essene Gospel of Peace. --- excerpt from book's Preface by Norma Nilsson Bordeaux

This review is from: Essene Gospel of Peace: Book 4, The Teachings of the Elect (Paperback)

By far one of the highest and deepest books ever written. Exoterically, it is a simply story about wheat grass, growing up. Yet this simple teaching is deeper than the deepest ocean and higher than the highest mountain.

If anyone else relates with me on this book, please write to me @: [e-mail] or call me @: 800-867-8024.

With Love & Light, Brother Erb Avore

This review is from: Essene Gospel of Peace: Book 4, The Teachings of the Elect (Paperback)

This one sits on my shelf next to yoga sutras, the I ching, the Tao te ching, the bible, the koran, the bagavad gita, the upanishads, etc. A must read if you are seeking truth. Book 4 is my favorite. I have read many of Szekely's works. 5 star.

Thanks and praise
