The Angel of Life
Be not ungrateful to thy Creator,
for he hath given thee Life
Seek not the law in thy scriptures
For the law is Life
Whereas the scriptures are only words
I tell thee truly
Moses received not his laws from God in writing
But through the living word
The law is living word of living God
To living prophets for living men
In everything that is life is the law written
It is found in the grass
In the trees
In the river
In the mountains
In the birds of heaven
In the forest creatures and the fishes of the sea
But it is found chiefly in thyselves
All living things are nearer to God than the scriptures which are without life
God so made life and all living things
That they might by the ever living word
Teach the laws of the Heavenly Father
And the Earthly Mother
To the sons of men
God wrote not the laws in the pages of books
But in thy heart and in thy spirit
They are in thy breath, thy blood, thy bone
In thy flesh, thine eyes, thine ears
And in every little part of thy body
They are present in the air, in the water
In the earth, in the plants, in the sunbeams
In the depths and in the heights
They all speak to thee
That thou mayest understand the tongue and the will of the living God
The scriptures are the works of man
But life and all its hosts are the work of God
First, O Great Creator!
Thou didst create the Heavenly Powers
And thou didst reveal the Heavenly Laws!
Thou gavest unto us understanding
From thine own mind
And thou madst our bodily life
We are grateful, Heavenly Father
For all thy manifold gifts of life
For the precious things of heaven, for the dew
For the precious fruits brought forth by the sun
For the precious things put forth by the moon
For the great things of the ancient mountains
For the precious things of the lasting hills
And for the precious things of the earth
We are grateful, Heavenly Father
For the vigour of health, health of the body
Wise, bright and clear‑eyed, with swiftness of foot
Quick hearing of the ears, strength of the arms
And eye‑sight of the eagle
For all the manifold gifts of Life
We do worship the Fire of Life
And the Holy Light of the Heavenly Order
We do worship the Fire
The good and the friendly
The Fire of Life!
The most beneficial and the most helpful
The Fire of Life!
The most bountiful,
The most supporting,
That Fire which is the House of the Lord!
Behold now the Child of Light
Who doth commune with the Angel of Life
Lo now, his strength is in his loins
And his force is in the muscle of his chest
He moveth his legs like a cedar
The sinews of his thighs are knit together
His bones are as tubes of brass
His limbs are like bars of iron
He doth eat of the table of the Earthly Mother
The grass of the field and the waters of the stream
Do nourish him
Surely the mountains bring him forth food
Blessed is his strength and beauty
For he doth serve the Law
A Sanctuary of the Holy Spirit
Is the body in which the Fire of Life
Doth burn with eternal Light
We thank thee, Heavenly Father
For thou hast put us at a source of running streams
At a living spring in a land of drought
Watering an eternal garden of wonders
The Tree of Life, mystery of mysteries
Growing everlasting branches for eternal planting
To sink their roots into the stream of Life
From an eternal source
From the Gospel of the Essenes translated by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely
