Why Does the Essene Gospel Warn Against Eating Meat? Question: THE
ULTIMATE FRONTIER states that the human body was designed to eat both meat
and vegetables—but it is clearly stated in the Essene Gospel that it is wrong
to eat meat. Answer: The
ancestors common to the human physical vehicle and apes were all vegetarians.
The human body was deliberately altered to make it omnivorous. There are
definite advantages to having a trim body which can be provided by the
smaller alimentary tract of the omnivore, and the improved muscular structure
of the meat-eater makes him better able to deal effectively with his
environment. There are arguments that meat is of a baser vibrational level
than vegetables—but vibrational properties exist only until the food is
broken down into its molecular components by digestion. Actually, vegetables
haven lower vibrational level than food derived from the animal kingdom.
Probably the idea that meat-eating is conducive to a low vibrational level is
brought about by observations that those who eat meat have more vitality, are
more combative and more sexually active than those who live on a vegetable
diet. Since these qualities are considered negative in many philosophies,
particularly the more passive ones of the Orient, some people will reasonably
conclude that eating meat is bad. Nevertheless, man is endowed with Mind
which can amplify those qualities he chooses to make manifest in his
character. By eating both meat and vegetables he can avail himself of the
vitality necessary to carry forth great undertakings, and by exercising the
powers of Mind he can alter his attitudes and behavior to become a
controlled, balanced individual. The Essene Gospel, like many other “Lost
chapters of the Bible”, contains much that has a ring of truth. However, many
such writings were excluded from the Bible by those who compiled it because
some of the information contained in them were untrue. There are many such
gospels “discovered” every year, some even purportedly from Venus or directly
from the Akashic Record. It is up to each person to decide whether or not he
will accept such writings as the truth. (04-1971) |
