DeepSummary
Aaron Abke, a former pastor's son and theology graduate, describes how he left Christianity at age 23 but eventually found his way back to the true teachings of Jesus through the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls. He explains that the Essenes were a Jewish sect who had secret knowledge that was wiped out by Rome, and their scrolls show that Jesus was an Essene master, not an orthodox Jew. The Essene teachings centered around communing with 14 angels and achieving purification of mind, body and spirit through practices like veganism, fasting and prayer.
Abke lays out evidence that the New Testament itself contains verses taken directly from Essene creeds, and he argues that Paul's teachings of salvation through faith alone contradict Jesus' emphasis on righteous living and following natural law. He shares details of the Essene way of life focused on reverence for Mother Nature, avoidance of animal sacrifices, and achieving human perfection over generations of purity.
Abke has spent months personally adopting the 'Jesus diet' outlined in the Essene Gospel of Peace, which involves fasting, chewing thoroughly, eating locally-grown vegan foods, and a twice-daily ritual of communing with angels. He has felt positive impacts like weight loss, better sleep, and more energy, seeing this as a practical path to embody the true mystical teachings that Yeshua intended.
Key Episodes Takeaways
- Jesus was an Essene master teaching a mystical path of purification and natural living, not salvation through faith alone as Paul taught.
- The Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient texts corroborate that the Essenes were a Jewish sect with secret teachings aligned with Jesus.
- The Essene path focused on veganism, fasting, prayer, and communing with angels of nature to achieve human perfection over generations.
- Verses in the New Testament match known Essene creeds, suggesting Jesus taught from their mystical tradition.
- Abke has adopted the 'Jesus diet' from the Essene Gospel of Peace and experienced health benefits like weight loss and more energy.
- Mainstream Christianity has strayed from Jesus' original intention and meaning has been hijacked over time.
- True 'Christ consciousness' is an internal state of enlightenment connected to natural law, not just belief in Jesus as a person.
- The apocalyptic writings refer to the 'end of the age of darkness', suggesting a metaphysical transition rather than a literal end times.
Top Episodes Quotes
- “If we know one thing about mankind is that man always changes the original intention of any holy person who's ever lived and hijacks the religion.“ by Aaron Abke
- “Christ is not a person, but a state of consciousness. And so what good is it to just confess a person who lived 2000 years ago? But you go on lying, stealing, cheating. There is a true way of Jesus and I think that that's what everyone is really hungering for.“ by Aaron Abke
- “The whole idea is like, if you can't even take care of the physical vessel you were given, why should you be allowed or able to purify your spiritual vessel? You know, first earth, then heaven.“ by Aaron Abke
