Do You Kno\The Essene Brotherhood
Have you ever been puzxled, like millions
of others, about the references in Christian
writings to the mysterious Essene Brothep
hood? Do you know that this semi-religious
and mystical organisation was the largest
and strongest body of spiritual workers in
the world? Do you know that Jesús was a
member of this organization and that the
records kept by the organi^ation give us a
complete account of the youth of Jesús and
the incidents of His birth, life, crucifixión,
and resurrection by eye witnesses? Until
you read about the Essenes and learn that
disciples of Jesús were members of that or'
ganization and how they controlled many
situations in Palestine, you will never know
the real story of the life of Jesús.
T h e Cruci f i x ión
Do you know that there are several ac'
counts of the crucifixión of Jesús as re'
corded by eye witnesses and by members
of His staff of disciples, which no longer
appear in Christian records? Do you
know that these true accounts of the cruci'
fixion were originally a part of the teachingsof the early Christian church and were set
aside in the later centuries by a few men,
who attempted to rearrange the story,
which now appears in Christian records?
Do you know that the real story of the
crucifixión reveáis why He was crucified,
and who actually crucified Him, and why
it was He did not actually die upon the
cross? Th is incident in His life when
properly understood makes us appreciatethe high place that Jesús had in the world
as the Christ and the Saviour.
T h e Unknow n L i f e
Do you know that after the Ascensión
Jesús continued to meet in secrecy with His
Apostles and instructed them in the founda'
tion of the early Christine movement? Do
you know that even statements in the au-
thorised versión of the Christian Bible sub'
stantiate the statements found in the other
records of the Orient in this regard? Do you
know that Jesús lived for many years after
the Ascensión and conducted a work not
explained in Christian records but known
to the early church Fathers and verified in
many records that are undeniable and abso'
lutely authentic? This period of His life is
filled with mystical, spiritual information
for every student of the higher mysteries.
Not an A t t ack
This book is not an attack upon the
Christian doctrines or an attack upon the
authorized Christian versions of the life of
Jesús. Jesús is made more understandable,
more lovable, and more easily acceptable asthe great and greatest son of God and Re'
deemer of mankind. Gentile and Jew, R o'man Catholic and Protestant will find in
this book that which will help them in theirspiritual and religious beliefs.
T h e You t h of Jesús
Do you know that incidents of the life of
Jesús from His birth to His thirtieth year
were accurately recorded and have been
preserved in Oriental records for many cen'
turies? Do you know that these records tell
us a marvelous, beautiful, mystery story of
Him that does not detract from His di vi'nity or His divine sonship, but makes Hislife a marvel of power and goodness?

T he Imm acu la te
onceptionDo yon know that there is an explana'
on for the so'called miraculous birth which
as accepted by the followers of the early
hristian church and which is understood
y all the mystics and masters of the Far
ast and the Orient? The story of the con'
ption of Jesús as presented in the Chris'
an Gospel is not complete and in the real
ory taken from actual records the mystery
made understandable by references to
her mystic incidents in the lives of greatvatars and Sons of God preceding Jesús.
he astounding facts fascínate and give the
ader a better idea of the mystery than any
esentation given heretofore.
T h e Prepa ra t i on
of Jesús Do you know that Jesús carefully pre"
pared himself for His great Mission in life
and underwent more tests and triáis than
the Christian Bible records? Do you know
that in the incidents of these preparations
we find an explanation of His parable and
all His miracles, and of the foundation
stone which He laid for the ultímate
building of the Christian church and other
spiritual movements? Th is story of His life
will be a revelation to students of mysticism
and occultism as well as students of Chris'
tian theology.
Previ ous W ork
of Jesús
Do you know that Jesús accomplished
great miracles and marvelous things for
mankind in another period of His life not
recorded in the authorized versión of His
life? Do you know that the records hitherto
unpublished tell a story of His accomplish'ments, which enable every spiritual student
to discover the key to salvation, and the kev
to Cosmic power and spiritual mastership?
Secret D oct r i nes
Do you know what the secret doctrines
are that Jesús taught to His disciples and
Apostles, and which were left out of the
authorized versión of the Christian Bible
because they had no place in that great
book? Do you know that these doctrinesenabled Jesús and His Apostles to accomp-
lish marvelous things and that you will find
in them methods and processes for bringing
about wonderful changes in your own life?
T h e Rea l P lace
o f Bi r t h Do you know that Jesús was not born
in a manger in Bethlehem? Statements from
the authorized versión of the Bible contain
contradictions in this regard and the ancient
records show why the writers of some of
the Gospels seem to contradict each other
in regard to the place of birth?
T h e Resurr ect i on
Do you know that Jesús actually rosefrom the tomb healed of his wounds, and
ready again to carry on His mission with
His Apostles and disciples in secrecy? Do
you know that the real story of the Resur'
rection is one that is easily acceptable, be"
cause it is so astonishingly in conformity
with natural law and spiritual law that
there is no mystery about it at all? And do
you know that the Ascensión into Heaven
has an explanation that contains no mys'
tery, no miracle, and no improbability?
T h e Fat hers of Jesús
Do you know that there were a great
number of Av atars and Sons of G od born in
various parts of the world preceding the
birth of Jesús? Do you know that many of
these were worshipped by millions of people
as Divine Messengers and recognized as
Messiahs?
None of these were as great as Jesús but
because they helped to develop the religión
taught by Jesús, they arecalled the “Fathersof Jesús" in all sacred literature. Unless
you are acquainted with the work that
these great men accomplished, you cannot
understand the real life of Jesús.
