Journey Through A Thousand Meditations
(Plant Your Dream!)
Journey Through A Thousand Meditations by YourEnchantedGardener .....
Memorial to Dr. Garry White + Reflections on returning to Rancho La Puerta Declaration of Essene Studies as A Journey Through A Thousand Meditations

Returned from Rancho La Puerta yesterday.
This has been a weekend of Regrouping.
I have been out of my Power increasingly
for the last two weeks if not more.
I saw glimmers of my Power last night
in the twilight of dinner at Rancho La Puerta.
There was a fountain nearby where we
eat. I was sitting with Paris, and reading
some things from Lesson VI
of "The Sevenfold Peace of the Essenes"
by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.
I am out of touch with my Cosmic Rhythm.
I am feeling pressures to declutter and bring order
here, especially to the order in my personal Space.
I have been drawn out of my personal space and life
by the call to rise to leadership to direct
and give a plan to the larger decluttering project:
The Basement and backyard.
I am weary. I have been having difficulty
moving the energy in my space. It is intensely slow
going.
Power is the Essene Way, according
to the Essene School of Thought Teachings
is the Ability to Cause Movement...
Power is Inspiration.
Paris and I went to Rancho La Puerta
to give energy to the memorial to Dr. Garry White.
It was an intimate gathering.
There were an handful of us.
The highlight of the memorial was scattering Garry's ashes
on the gravesite of Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.
Garry's wishes were to have a portion of his ashes
placed next to his beloved friend, the Professor.
The Professor how we often call Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.
I carried a basket with me to the memorial.
A basket is a container that gives boundaries
and focus to my Spiritual Work.
I have been feeling really unnerved,
out of my skin, hanging on to my strength
by a thread.
In times like these, I especially start
screaming "Momma!" and I my relationship
with Twin Soul/Best Friend takes on Epic Sensitivities.
She was in a similar space on Satuday.
She was very vulnerable and anxious.
It was good to both be in this space together.
My Power Here It Is,
Oh yes, now I remember:
I am a Visionary, an Essene Visionary.
My ministry is the Enchanted Garden,
a name for our Renewed Earth.
I express as a Ceremonialist.
I Record the History of Peace on Earth.
I especially succeed when I Focus
well on smaller things, and take organic steps
toward a Goal.
To do so, is to take Seed Dreams and plant them,
and I feel great Power when I am doing that for myself.
This was a weekend for Corrections:
The Professor, perhaps the foremost Essene Renaissance Pioneer
of the 20th Century, burdered The Essene Way around 1937
when he incorporated the Essenes
as a Church called "The First Christians' Essene Church.
I am not sure what why he choose those words.
Deborah Szekely, his wife and partner during those years,
reminds me: "The Essenes were the first Christians!"
Yes, that is true, but they were also the the rootstock
that not only gave birth to the first Christians, but they
were the Kabbabists of their day.
A good many kabbalists today are mystic Jews.
The Essenes of that day were a Jewish sect.
More than Jews or early Christians, the Essenes
were a Soul Group, a Soul Group that honor
Life as a "Journey Through A Thousand Meditations."
Each time a Lifetime is memorialized--
as we did this past weekend--
we have an opportunity to pull together Pieces
as as we honor the journey of the person.
For many years, Dr. Garry White
did his best to carry the mantle of the
First Christian Essene Church.
There was always the question--
why was the local movement not more popular????
I believe that was because the Essenes
in the later 20th Century were intended to
carry the mantle, as described
in Szekely's Portfolio
named "A Journey Through A Thousand Meditation."
The pages of that Portfolio, I have here
in my library, and I am looking at it today.
The opening pages read:
"This portfolio is printed by 'Mille Meditations"
in a limited and numbered edition of 2,000 copies
for the use of the members and guests of Mille Meditaitons,
Golden Door and Rancho La Puerta.
This is number No. ______."
The cover reads,
"A synthesis of Nature and Eight Thousand Years of Wisdom"
Truly, this Journey I believe to be the calling
of The Essene Way.
In another of his books,
called "The Essene Way,"
Szekely identifies this multi-faceted
container of the wisdom from many traditions
as the Path of the Essene Practitioner.
[My copy of "A journey through A Thousand Meditations."
has many pages out of order. Over the years I
have put my favorite Teachers and Teachings toward the Top
or pulled out specific pages. When I have time
I will assembly them in the original order of this manuscript
as best I can and reprint here the Table of Contents. ]
A booklet I have treasured over the years
is called "The Essene Way"
