The following is a portion of the Gospel of Peace, an ancient Aramaic writing discovered by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely in the Vatican archives. A big portion of it is about the power of fasting and our connection to Mother Earth.
**Do you see how the church contrived to wrest total power over humanity away from the Mother Earth? When I learned about the Shamans and their ways from all over the globe the one thing they all stressed was keeping one's connection with nature — with the Earth — with the Mother of us all — Gaia - Pachamamma - etc. Once we lost our understanding of the Mother and quit living in harmony with nature you begin to see the cumulative negative effects on humanity resulting in scarcity, wars, and disease. *****
Many sick and maimed came to Jesus, asking him, "If you know all things, tell us, why do we suffer with these grievous plagues? Why are we not whole like other men? Master, heal us, that we too may be made strong, and need abide no longer in our misery. We know that you have it in your power to heal all manner of disease. Free us from Satan and from all his great afflictions. Master, have compassion on us."
And Jesus answered- "Happy are you that you hunger for the truth, for I will satisfy you with the bread of wisdom. Happy are you, that you knock, for I will open to you the door of life. Happy are you, that you would cast off the power of Satan (i.e., lower nature), for I will lead you into the kingdom of our Mother's angels, where the power of Satan cannot enter."
And they asked him in amazement: "Who is our Mother and which her angels? And where is her kingdom?"
"Your Mother is in you, and you in her. She bore you, she gives you life. It was she who gave to you your body, and to her shall you one day give it back again. Happy are you when you come to know her and her kingdom; if you receive your Mother's angels and if you do her laws. I tell you truly, he who does these things shall never see disease. For the power of our Mother is above all. And it destroys Satan and his kingdom, and has rule over all your bodies and all living things.
***I am coming in alignment with Gaia these days. I can feel her sing through me at times with unbounded joy as I send the Love, Light, and Grace of the Universe down into her core. Lately I can “feel”...or “sense”...another body within me that is my future self here on the planet. This body feels strong, lithe, and supple, and walks on the planet in total energetic connection with Earth and Sun. I “know” what this passage is trying to say...but it's hard to put into words as it's more of an intuition. I can feel myself “seeking” to go into the same frequency as Gaia much like when we tune a radio dial. Wow...even that's an old fashioned concept. [see how hard it is to describe one's experiences when this is all so brand new?}****
"The blood which runs in us is born of the blood of our Earthly Mother. Her blood falls from the clouds; leaps from the womb of the earth; babbles in the brooks of the mountains; flows wide in the rivers of the plains; sleeps in the lakes; rages mightily in tempestuous seas.
"The air which we breathe is born of the breath of our Earthly Mother. Her breath is azure in the heights of the heavens; soughs in the tops of the mountains; whispers the leaves of the forest; billows over the cornfields; slumbers in the deep valleys, burns hot in the desert.
*****Yes. Merging with the four Elements is part of this ascension process as the goal is to become one with the Earth and all her inhabitants. Physically speaking. I have had moments where I felt merged with Water as it is the first Element I began blessing and loving and watching with total amazement at it's abilities. Water is the base of blood...and it definitely falls from clouds, leaps from the ground of the Earth, flows across the plains, and powers the human body. The next of the four elements I began “courting” was Air. Blessing it — loving it — honoring it — and laughing in delight at WindAir — has brought me an ability to merge with it. I am often in awe at how it can dance with the other elements. In my daily meditations I invite Air to dance with all the cells of my body and my body shivers in anticipation of a visit from Air. I am noticing now that I can call WindAir to me and it comes to caress my skin. :love:*****

"I tell you in very truth, Man is the Son (Humans are the children) of the Earthly Mother, and from her did the Son of Man receive his whole body, even as the body of the newborn babe is born of the womb of his mother. I tell you truly, you are one with the Earthly Mother; she is in you, and you in her. Of her were you born, in her do you live, and to her shall you return again. Keep, therefore, her laws, for none can live long, neither be happy, but he who honors his Earthly Mother and does her laws. For your breath is her breath; your blood her blood; your bone her bone; your flesh her flesh; your bowels her bowels; your eyes and your ears are her eyes and her ears.
…
I tell you, unless you follow the laws of your Mother, you can in no wise escape death. And he who clings to the laws of his Mother, to him shall his Mother cling also. She shall heal all his plagues, and he shall never become sick. She gives him long life, and protects him from all afflictions; from fire, from water, from the bite of venomous serpents. For your Mother bore you, keeps life within you. She has given you her body, and none but she heals you. Happy is he who loves his Mother and lies quietly in her bosom. For your Mother loves you, even when you turn away from her. And how much more shall she love you, if you turn to her again? I tell you truly, very great is her love, greater than the greatest of mountains, deeper than the deepest seas. And those who love their Mother, she never deserts them. As the hen protects her chickens, as the lioness her cubs, as the mother her newborn babe, so does the Earthly Mother protect the Son of Man from all danger and from all evils.
***This reminded me of an article I read last year about a man who cured himself of some immune deficiency disease by doing something he called Earthing. He hollowed out a space in the ground in his back yard near some plants he had put there with love. He would lie down in the hollow space in only his shorts and he loosely covered himself with the soil he had left right there next to the hollow. I saw pictures of him resting peacefully with his eyes closed with loose dirt on his skin. I did a quick search and saw where a few others had shared their Earthing experiences with positive results. At some of my most fearful moments in the last few years I can remember calming down when I'd recite “I am safe in the embrace of the Mother (earth)”. *******

Jesus answered: "Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you 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. You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountain, in the birds of heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves. For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life. God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man. God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit. They are in your breath, your blood, your bone; in your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, your ears, and in every little part of your body. They are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in th e sunbeams, in the depths and in the heights…. I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works? And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men?"
****Yes! We are all one with God....which is to say we are OF god...and therefore god also as so is the grass...the trees...the air...the cells in our bodies...everything.*****

"Renew yourselves and fast. For I tell you truly, that Satan and his plagues may only be cast out by -fasting and by prayer. Go by yourself and fast alone, and show your fasting to no man. The living God shall see it and great shall be your reward. And fast till Beelzebub and all his evils depart from you, and all the angels of our Earthly Mother come and serve you. For I tell you truly, except you fast, you shall never be freed from the power of Satan and from all diseases that come from Satan. Fast and pray fervently, seeking the power of the living God for your healing. While you fast, eschew the Sons of Men and seek our Earthly Mother's angels, for he that seeks shall find.
****Wow! Even back then Jesus knew the human body was being polluted and diluted by the food of the “gods”...meaning grains. You see...at first...the human being wasn't designed to eat grain. Then our makers...the “gods” ….made a modification and then introduced us to grains. They had their reasons which I won't go into because who cares now...we are what we are...yes? Fasting allows the body to become more of it's pure form releasing the pollutant of spirit which is grain. Hmmm....this is interesting.......*****
"Seek the fresh air of the forest and of the fields, and there in the midst of them shall you find the angel of air. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of air to embrace all your body. Then breathe long and deeply, that the angel of air may be brought within you. I tell you truly, the angel of air shall cast out of your body all uncleannesses which defiled it without and within. And thus shall all evil-smelling and unclean things rise out of you, as the smoke of fire curls upwards and is lost in the sea of the air. For I tell you truly, holy is the angel of air, who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. No man may come before the face of God, whom the angel of air lets not pass. Truly, all must be born again by air and by truth, for your body breathes the air of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit breathes the truth of the Heavenly Father.
*****Ooooo....I was just talking about that! *****
"After the angel of air, seek the angel of water. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of water to embrace all your body. Cast yourselves wholly into his enfolding arms, and as often as you move the air with your breath, move with your body the water also. I tell you truly, the angel of water shall cast out of your body all uncleannesses which defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall flow out of you, even as the uncleannesses of garments washed in water flow away and are lost in the stream of the river. I tell you truly, holy is the angel of water who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. No man may come before the face of God whom the angel of water lets not pass. in very truth, all must be born again of water and of truth, for your body bathes in the river of earthly life, and your spirit bathes in the river of life everlasting. For you receive your blood from our Earthly Mother and the truth from our Heavenly Father.
…****...and THIS too!...****
"And if afterward there remain within you aught of your past sins and uncleannesses, seek the angel of sunlight. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of sunlight to embrace all your body. Then breathe long and deeply, that the angel of sunlight may be brought within you. And the angel of sunlight shall cast out of your body all evil-smelling and unclean things which defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall rise from you, even as the darkness of night fades before the brightness of the rising sun. For I tell you truly, holy is the angel of sunlight who cleans out all uncleannesses and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. None may come before the face of God, whom the angel of sunlight lets not pass. Truly, all must be born again of sun and of truth, for your body basks in the sunlight of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit basks in the sunlight of the truth of the Heavenly Father.
…***Well there you have it! Jesus was advocating for integrating the four Elements of Earth! Oh how cool is this?!?!?!? :bounce: ******
"For I tell you truly, the power of devils, all sins and uncleannesses shall depart in haste from that body which is embraced by these three angels. As thieves flee from a deserted house at the coming of the lord of the house, one by the door, one by the window, and the third by the roof, each where he is found, and whither he is able, even so shall flee from your bodies all devils of evil, all past sins, and all uncleannesses and diseases which defiled the temple of your bodies.
When the Earthly Mother's angels enter into your bodies, in such wise that the lords of the temple repossess it again, then shall all evilsmells depart in haste by your breath and by your skin, corrupt waters by your mouth and by your skin, by your hinder and your privy parts.
***This makes me think of my lymph system I've been learning how to heal.****
And all these things you shall see with your eyes and smell with your nose and touch with your hands. And when all sins and uncleannesses are gone from your body, your blood shall become as pure as our Earthly Mother's blood and as the river's foam sporting in the sunlight. And your breath shall become as pure as the breath of odorous flowers; your flesh as pure as the flesh of fruits reddening upon the leaves of trees; the light of your eye as clear and bright as the brightness of the sun shining upon the blue sky.
And now shall all the angels of the Earthly Mother serve you.
****And so it is.... ****
*****Fasting seems to be the answer. No wonder Jack Kornfield spoke so reverently for eating only one meal a day while he lived for two years as a Buddhist monk in Cambodia. He talked of how difficult it was for him to change his body's habit of eating three meals a day and his belief he needed to eat that much food. Yesterday morning was the first time I think in my life that I didn't wake up thinking about what to eat for breakfast. It wasn't until later in the day I began to wonder if I had eaten and forgotten...but no... it just didn't occur to me. I find that very remarkable...for this little old Taurus lady dearly loves her foooooood. :lol: Sigh... But I admit I've found myself wishing I could go live somewhere that only allowed me to eat one meal a day. That way I could detox...not only from the chemicals in my body but also detox the mind's idea I must eat three meals a day or it's “Fasting”!!! Hahahahahahaha.... You know what I mean. :w:
This is amazing to find written about Jesus' and his teachings! Very delightful! Of course there are millions of non Catholics who would dispute this as “valid” because it's not in their bible. Then there are those Catholics (my family for example) who question this as valid because it wasn't included in their bible either. Whatever...perhaps the Pope will do what's right and declare it's validity. ****
