To commune with the Earthly
Mother, on Saturday morning,
he says,
"The Earthly Mother and I are
one. She gives the food of
Life to my whole body."
When he finishes these words
he contemplates edible fruits,
grains or plants and feels the
currents of the Earthly Mother
flowing in him and
intensifying and directing the
metabolism of his body.
2 5
On Sunday morning he communes
with the Angel of Earth,
saying:
"Angel of Earth, enter my
generative organs and
regenerate my whole body."
As he says this he
contemplates the life-
generating soil and the
growing grass, feeling the
currents of the Angel of Earth
transforming his sexual energy
into regenerative forces.
3
On Monday morning he communes
with the Angel of Life in the
following words:
"Angel of Life, enter my limbs
and give strength to my whole
body."
He now contemplates trees as
he feels himself absorbing
forests.
4
The words of the Tuesday
morning Communion with the
Angel of joy are:
"Angel of joy, descend upon
earth and give beauty to all
beings."
He then feels himself
absorbing vibrations of joy
from the beauties of nature as
he contemplates the colors of
sunrise, of sunset, the song
of a bird or the aroma of a
flower.
The Wednesday morning
Communion to the Angel of the
Sun uses these words:
"Angel of Sun, enter my Solar
Center and give the fire of
life to my whole body."
As these words are spoken he
contemplates the rising sun
and feels and directs the
accumulated solar forces
radiating through his solar
center, located at the solar
plexus, sending them to all
parts of his body.

The Thursday morning Communion
with the Angel of Water is
made by saying:
"Angel of Water, enter my
blood and give the water of
Life to my whole body."

The Earthly Mother's Angel of
Earth was the power of
generation and regeneration. A
central idea of the Essenes,
similar to that of Zoroaster,
was to create more and more
abundant life. The purpose of
the Communion was to transform
the generative powers in life
into the regeneration of the
human body. They conceived
this power in man to be the
same natural force as the
generative powers of nature in
the top soil, which creates
the vegetation of the earth.
This Communion therefore

It taught man the role of
vitality in his well-being and
made him conscious of all the
innumerable activities of the
life force in and around him,
enabling him to direct it to
any part of his body in the
intensity required.
It gave the Essenes their
astonishing ability to absorb
life force especially from
trees and forests.

More beautiful than the finest
jewel
Of the rugmaker's art,

under my bare feet;
More majestic than the silken
canopy of the rich merchant,
Is the tent of branches above
my head,
Through which the bright stars
give light.
The wind among the leaves of
the cypress
Maketh a sound like unto a
chorus of angels.
Through the rugged oak and

The Earthly Mother hath sent a
message of Eternal Life
To the Heavenly Father.
My prayer goeth forth unto the
tall trees:
And their branches reaching
skyward
Shall carry my voice to the
Heavenly Father.
For each child thou shalt
plant a tree,
Tthat the womb of thy Earthly
Mother
Shall bring forth life,
As the womb of woman doth
bring forth life.
He who doth destroy a tree
Hath cut off his own limbs.
Thus shall sing the Children
of Light,
When the earth again shall be
a garden:
Holy Tree, divine gift of the
Law!
Thy majesty reunites all those
Who have strayed from their
true home,
Which is the Garden of the
Brotherhood.
All men will become brothers
once again
Under thy spreading branches.
As the Heavenly Father hath
loved all his children,
