About this listen

This extraordinary document represents a new form of historical research and straightens out many open questions and misinterpretations. It takes the form of direct dialogues between a modern researcher and a member of the Qumran Essene community. Alive around the time of Christ, this community has become the focus of ideas about the connection of Jesus' teachings to earlier traditions. This book gives a full description of the nature and purpose of the community and the birth and upbringing of Jesus and John the Baptist. Also, it gives Essene renderings of Key Old Testament stories concerning Moses, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others, plus startling insights into ancient history. This information is candid and for real, even about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and many Biblical images and statements are corrected and added to.

Enlightening

As all Dolores Cannon’s books, very enlightening. Insightful look into history of life and time of Jesus from one of members of mysterious Essenes.

A reassessment of biblical history

Many years ago I recall having read a book about someone who, under hypnosis, recounted a past life as one who lived in the Essene community. It wasn't until I came across this audio book that I realised it was the same title by Dolores Cannon, and I found it every bit as stimulating as the printed version.

This book is essentially one that is divided into two parts. The first section details the customs, beliefs and practices of the Essenes as they were recalled by a subject under hypnosis. It is intriguing that Dolores was able to extract a number of details about what life was like in that particular time period, as little is known about the Essenes and information from both archaeology and the Dead Sea Scrolls only provides a limited picture.

The second half of the book focuses on the life and ministry of Jesus and challenges a number of popularly accepted and dogmatic concepts, in particular the true origins of Christianity and the need to accept him as a guide and not a deity. The connection that Christ had to the Essenes has not been widely acknowledged, for which there may be reasons to do with how the church has attempted to control the narrative about his life and purpose. This book will make you rethink what you have been taught.

One of the most eye opening books I have ever read

This book should be read by everyone because it really does open one’s eyes as to the truth of what Joshua or Yeshua (actual translation of Jesus), his teacher’s, his family and his followers actually did. There are some major revelations in this book and many surprises. I need to read it again to grasp bit’s I may have missed out this first time.
It really does put this incredible man in the correct light and dispels many false stories made up throughout history in what is our current bible. I would give it six stars if I could.

A ‘must read’

I have listened to this so many times & have not tired of it. I highly recommend it and you don’t have to be a very spiritual person for it to appeal to you, just open minded.
