Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Essenes and the Advent of Jesus is an inspiring eight-lesson Bible study for the Advent and Christmas season that explores the events and intense spiritual preparation that led to the birth of Jesus the Christ. This study guide, rooted in Scripture and enriched by insights from the readi…ngs of the Christian psychic Edgar Cayce, integrates the traditional story of the birth of Jesus with unique and invaluable background material extracted from the readings. It presents a richer Bible interpretation that fills in some of the historical gaps in the Advent story, and corrects some misperceptions prevalent in the traditional interpretation of the few biblical verses that tell the story. It reveals the hidden spiritual context surrounding the Immaculate Conception and the coming of the Messiah.The Christmas story actually begins some four hundred years before the birth of Jesus with the formation of a School of Prophets at Mount Carmel by the prophet Elijah. This school became the center of a religious Jewish sect called the Essenes, who dedicated their lives to preparing for this divine event. The Essenes, known as the compilers and keepers of the Dead Sea scrolls, lived lives of purity and dedication, guided by prophecy and spiritual discipline. They provided for the education and protection of Mary, ensuring that she was spiritually, mentally, and physically ready for her sacred role. The Essene community educated Jesus during his childhood and saw that he was given a higher education in spiritual matters as a young adult. Each of the eight lessons in this Bible study focuses on a key event or figure involved in the Advent and birth of Jesus, integrating relevant Bible verses, inspired insights from the Cayce readings, and discussion questions designed to deepen understanding and encourage personal reflection. The study guide is perfect for individual or group Bible study, inviting readers to rediscover the Advent season as the Essenes once did-through preparation, prophecy, and spiritual awakening-and shedding new light on the eternal mystery of the birth of Jesus. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Science seeks to explain the laws of the physical universe by following a logical, repeatable method to verify and correct its observations and theories. Religion seeks to understand the spiritual relationship between humanity and God, the continuity of consciousness after physical death, an…d the destiny of the soul. Scientists and religious leaders often conclude that scientific discoveries and theories conflict with spiritual concepts such as the existence of God and the soul. Some Christian denominations expend considerable spiritual energy concocting various formulations of "biblical science" from literal interpretations of the Bible to counter imagined dangers from secular science. This tension between physical and spiritual inquiry is artificial and manmade. The spiritual philosophy of the Edgar Cayce readings offers a framework in which science and religious thought can be understood as parts of a unified whole. This book draws on that philosophy to show that the physical and spiritual worlds are complementary aspects of creation. The readings assert that the physical universe was intentionally created by God as a causal environment in which souls may regain awareness of God through human experience and interaction.The truth is that science and religion are complementary approaches to the study of the nature of the universe, the purpose of life, and the relationship between humanity and the divine. Over time, they will converge toward a deeper understanding of the universe and human existence. Science studies the structure and behavior of the physical universe, usually without addressing its ultimate origin or higher purpose. This book offers a way to reevaluate scientific knowledge of universal physical laws within the context of a spiritual purpose for the universe. Scripture, while valuable, can impede spiritual inquiry when interpreted in a rigid and literal manner, or when used to dismiss and disparage alternate viewpoints. For readers who feel caught between scientific understanding and religious doctrine, this book offers a path toward reconciliation and ultimately unification of science and religion. Truth is not the exclusive domain of either field of study and a more comprehensive understanding of God may be found through the integration of scientific investigation and spiritual insight.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Essenes and the Advent of Jesus is an eight-lesson biblical study guide for the Advent and Christmas season that brings to life the events leading to the birth of Jesus the Christ. This guide integrates Bible verses about the birth of Jesus with invaluable background information from the… readings of Christian psychic Edgar Cayce. The readings bring to light considerable background material covering the years before the birth of Jesus, fill in some of the historical gaps in the biblical material, and correct some misperceptions prevalent in the traditional interpretation of these biblical verses. The story begins with the formation of a School of Prophets some four hundred years before Jesus's birth. This school eventually became the center of a religious Jewish sect called the Essenes (the group that compiled the Dead Sea scrolls), who dedicated their lives to preparing for the birth of the Messiah. The Essenes prepared for the Messiah by providing for the education and protection of Mary, a far more likely scenario than the traditional idea that Mary was a village girl assigned the role of motherhood with no prior knowledge on her part and with complete disregard for her free will. The Essenes also educated Jesus during his childhood and saw that he was given higher education in spiritual matters as a young adult. Each of the eight lessons provides information on a specific topic or individual associated with the birth of Jesus and ends with a series of questions to encourage discussion. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There is a universal God consciousness that is the motive force for the manifestation of the cosmic realm and the physical universe it contains. This consciousness forms various realms of reality as God manifests his creative desires through the activity of mind and spirit. God is Love. To f…ulfill his desire for loving companionship God created souls, portions of himself, made in his image. True love does not exist in a master-slave relationship, so souls were granted free will. The unique perception and interaction of each soul mind with the reality of the cosmic realm and with fellow souls formed each soul consciousness, which we humans call our subconscious mind. Rebellious souls lost God consciousness when they used their free will in selfish ways that violated spiritual law. To correct this propensity for spiritual error, God created a causal physical realm of spirit-energy where souls can purge selfish traits and restore their God consciousness through incarnation. The perception and interaction of each incarnated soul with the physical realm and fellow incarnated souls forms the physical conscious mind that activates the human body. The manner in which an incarnated soul interacts in human society is of supreme importance to its future. Interpersonal relationships that develop as the conscious mind matures and becomes a participating member of human society are critical to the spiritual growth of the soul. The decisions that a soul makes during life on earth in relation to its inherent spiritual attributes and the spiritual law to which the soul is accountable determines the ultimate fate of the soul. This book explores and discusses important questions about consciousness and reality, mind and spirit, the nature of the soul mind, and the spiritual purpose of the physical universe. We will follow the journey of the wayward soul from its creation, through its spiritual fall and the challenges and value of its experiences as an incarnated soul, to its ultimate destiny in Christ Consciousness.
