Essene,Christian ,Monotheism, and Akhnaton

My response on a Facebook status became so involved that I decided I had better keep it in my notes.I am not sure how cohesive these two entrees are but the subjects became related.I once dissagreed with an author(Robert Feather)I met and wrote back and forth with in a Yahoo Group who had written an entire book about a relationship between Akhnaton and the Essenes .I still do not believe there is an actual tie between the two yet my own writing here brought them together in a way.Monotheism ,after all , is the foundation of Judaism,Christianity,and Islam and ,if one accepts the first theocratic dictator of monotheism as Akhnaton,then ,perhaps there can be that kind of a tie. I never have seen any actual proof of the Essenes being dedicated to Akhnaton or even to Joshua but the world is young.

Christian superiority is deeply rooted and related to the strange ,difficult discipline of the Essene Jews."The Way" is actually another term referring to one of the Essene Jewish sects circa 20 BC when they had a skism with Herod who wouldn't rebuild the Great Temple according to the Essene design found in the "Temple Scrolls"(Qumran 1947).The Essene's were exclusive celibates,many of which were actually orphans taken in to the all man community.Qumran,about 14 miles outside of Jerusalem,became the "New Jerusalem"for the outcast who continued to change politically till they were mostly Zealots and the ensuing persecution of the Romans nearly wiped them out in 42 AD and later in about 72 AD.Essene literature was also found at Massada.They actively were baptizing as far as Rome and Persia ,collecting half a sheckle per person, they sent the money back to Qumran.They continued to pay off Herod and his line but amassed great sums of money.While Jesus was an Essene,a recognized "David",the "Son of Man" or King that represented the laity in the Temple ,the Jesus party separated from the Essenes during their Zealotry when Jesus said ".. Render unto Caesar..". His group was seeking a peaceful settlement and had friends in Rome.The separation resulted in Jesus and his party becoming the enemy of the Essenes(Caiaphas,High Priest of the Sanhedrin,Judas,etc).Barbara Thiering wrote that in the Dead Sea Scrolls(Qumran 1947),Jesus was the "Man of Lies" while John the Baptist was the "Man of Righteousness"which are two dominant characters found in their Qumran discoveries.Till his death , the Baptist was a dominant force while Jesus's position was questioned .Jesus's brother,James was more acceptable to the Essene's discipline of living.Seeing the scroll written from the point of view of the enemy brings other truths into the historicity of the life of Jesus,his family, and the resulting religious movement that broke off from the Essene.I have paraphrased some intricate theories but you can look further into the Pesher code of the scrolls here: http://www.peshertechnique.infinitesoulutions.com/

Actually, the first monotheist,Akhnaton,dictated the first law of
monotheism,"Thou shalt have no other god ". Before him(Akh) ,Egypt was
polytheistic and after him they went back to polytheism but the seed
of intolerance was planted by him .The repression of his name from the
list of Kings didn't help to put out the fire,in fact any repression
brings a backlash.Cults were replanted on the very site of Akhetaten
,in fact across the Nile the Greek Heliopolis continued the sun
worshiping and the memory of the Amarna- Akhnaton experiment or revolt from the top.

The question in 2000 was "Is Tut ,Akh's son,Jewish or was
Moses an Atenist"( "Moses and Monotheism" ,Sigmond Freud). The
Japanese DNA team was expelled in 2000 with the words ,"A Zionist
Plot".The darling of archaeology and Mubarac , the Keeper of
iniquities at Giza,Zahi Hawass,was part of that repressive technique at that time.
(I wonder where that guy is at now?) The DNA test were attempted ten
years later and the results of finding the "Jewish gene" seems as
illusive as the results from the several mummies that were examined in 2010.I
haven't seen it.The only result I read was to confirm that Tut's
mother and father were related. The important answer didn't rule out
that Tut's mother could have been his grandmother, Tiye . The question
is important because it could show that Akhnaton was the historical
Oedipus of Greek Tragedy, another story of repression but obsessive in
the psychology of men.

All the Christian sects come from Roman Catholicism and Catholicism still originates from the Essene Jewish culture and eventually the dictates of Constantine at Nicea.The basic sacraments,"Baptism,Communion,as well as tenets of being reborn in the
religion,are from the Essene practices which included a
Pope,Cardinals(Saints),celibate priest,and the concept of
"Messiah".

This concept "Messiah" also has an Egyptian origin. Each
Pharaoh was a "Messiah",an anointed one.The Egyptians were generally
more tolerant as polytheist,living and donating to the Temples of
their choice,as many as they wanted ,or as few.Monotheism brought
intolerance as well as subjugating people,promoting supernatural fairy
tales ,and inhibiting intelligence.This continues to this day in all
the variations of monotheism including Islam.It's all fruit of the
same bad seed, Akhnaton's theocracy and Atenism ,which covered the
kings excesses and the aberrations in his behavior.It is ironic that
the giver of laws ,Akhnaton, who could have become the Moses,was such
a deviant yet we can see other cases in present day of the same kind
of scandals and cover ups while pointing at others from modern televangelist.
