Summary: Interested in the origins of Christianity and the Essenes?
Comment: Read this book! It offers more fresh insight into the origins of Christianity, the early education of Christ, and the Essene community as a whole, than a dozen scholarly tomes whose depth and breadth could fill a thimble with their own enlightening, or in the very least, pertinent, conclusions.
Cannon's book is based on conversations she had with an Essene named Suddi, who lived in the Qumran community at the time of Christ. She had these conversations through regressionist therapy. They are a record of a past life of one of her patients. I, personally, do not believe in reincarnation, but I do believe we can and do experience, first-hand, the lifetimes of other people. I have no doubt this interview with Suddi is truly that -- a 20th century interview with a Qumran Essene. The repercussions of that, coupled with the statements made by Suddi in this book, are startling. The true origins of Christianity, its teachings, as well as the lifestyle and learning of the Essene community, are brought into a whole new light. This, coupled with genuine 20th century research, shakes the very foundations of our assumptions concerning Christianity and the Essenes and asks us to delve further into the issues which surround them.
Even if you do not believe in past lives, I would recommend you're reading this book. The perspective alone, even if it is totally made up in the mind of the author, is worth the cover price and more. If you're interested in the Essenes or the origins of Christianity, don't miss this book! It will bring all the rest of true scholarship into startling clarity, and may even help you formulate some new conclusions of your own.

Summary: Unique Wisdom
Comment: I have never been a Jesus "freak," however, I do know he existed and one should strive to live life according to his teachings. The sad fact is I didn't remember much about what he taught (even after going to a Catholic school for 10 years). This book has sparked my interest to (re)learn about one of the greatest and most influential teachers that ever lived. When reading this book, it doesn't matter whether or not one believes in reincarnation. It also doesn't matter whether or not the female subject of this book was REALLY regressed into a past life as a man who was a teacher of Jesus. (I happen to believe this DID happen - I have studied reincarnation enough to know this could easily be true, and Cannon does an excellent job validating her research). What DOES matter is that people read this book for the lessons that will be learned. There are wonderful insights on biblical references (Old and New Testaments), the power of knowledge, as well as meditation techniques and the chakras. Also, the history of the Essene community at Qumran is explored in great detail. Even if one was to read this in the frame of mind that it is fiction, there would still be plenty gained from this book.

Summary: Jesus is absent from the Qumran scrolls
Comment: The Qumran scrolls are now all published and you can see for yourself that Jesus is not in them. Moreover there is nothing in them that allows to doubt the originality of Christianity, as confirmed by Hershel Shanks, Jewish scholar and editor of Biblical Archology Review (The Mystery and Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls, p. xvi). The theories of Jesus and His disciples being Essenes are mostly based on dr J. Allegro's and dr R. Eisenman's mistaken translation of 4Q285, a text from cave 4 about Teacher of Rigthousness mentioned along with piercing. They've seen Jesus Christ as an object of piercing in this fragmentary text, while in fact it is the Teacher of Rightousness who is doing the piercing and killing! Allegro and Eisenman after some time finally and publically admitted their error, but the myth was already created and is being prolonged mostly in New Age literature by the ignorant, even though it is based totally on outdated theories and wishful thinking.
