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.

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.
