Symbolic Representation of the Essene Way
- Sylvia Moss
I would like to address the symbolic representation of the Essene Way - or if you like, the Logo.
Hereunder is a diagram of the True Essene Symbol, together with explanation of its meaning within the Ageless Universal Wisdom Tradition.
First of all, the name Essene is NOT, as some historians have it, a word meaning "The expectant ones" awaiting a Messiah although at the beginning of each Age, they did indeed await the new MESSAIANIC IMPULSE.
The name comes from a more ancient source Essessani (that is a triangle, not an 'a').
All sound came to Earth from angelic sources into (first) the Sacred Sanskrit and then into our modern languages via the Greek and then Latin.
In that sense, the word could be said to be Greek.

(Egyptian NeterRepresenting the Divine coming down into matter.
This was adapted during Atlantean times and brought into Egypt symbolically showing the descent into matter, and the striving of humanity while in material form, to return to The One (as Jeshua put it, the Return of the Prodigal). Meanwhile, the All-Seeing One watches.
It is an error to regard the six pointed star as the 'Star of David', just as it is erroneous to think of IS-RA-EL as Hebrew. Is-Ra-El is Egyptian, meaning "Those who Walk in the Light of God".
The symbol
became known as the Seal of Solomon during the period when King Solomon and King Hiram of Tyre co-operated in building the Temple.
(And, incidentally, re-initiated the Ancient Order that also came out of Egypt, which eventually became known as "Masonic".)
The serpents twined around the outer circle represent in this instance the higher and lower selves - each poised to devour the other, yet not doing so because they are in equilibrium - the ultimate Wisdom.
You may ask how I know all this. Those who know me well, are aware that I am in telepathic rapport with the Spiritual Elders who guide our path. Much of my commentary is gleaned from other levels and confirmed by those Masters - one of whom is Sananda, who was Jeshua.
I feel it deeply significant that the recent Planetary Alignment (Harmonic Concordance) formed the
which for me, clearly indicates the universality of a symbol which depicts a profound IMPULSE, and does not belong to any time or nation.

The Ancient
(and probably original or one of the origins)
of the True Logo of Essene.
The two triangles within the circle. The one depicting the Divine/Immortal soul, coming down into the material world to learn of Life - the other depicting the effort while in the flesh, to return to Source. And at the Centre, the Right Eye of Horus, watching and weighing.
(The right eye of Horus represents the Sun the left eye, the Moon).
Encircling is the Serpent of Wisdom representing the Higher and the Lesser Nature -
each poised to devour the other.
Which shall succeed? Neither - for the Light of Eternal Life prevails.
This came out of Egypt, and it is strange, and uncertain why it became the "Star of David".
I think it is because it accompanied the Ark of the Covenant which also became a "Hebraic possession" whereas in fact Both are Atlantean. This, and the two Pillars - were symbolically carved above the great temples in Atlantis.
