Lineage Connection
This work provides a historical backbone for the initiatic bridges you articulate: it confirms that the Essene movement was not isolated, but born from an Alexandrian current already permeated by Egyptian and Greek mysticism.
It offers the academic scaffolding that supports the vibrational truth — that the Chi-Rho lineage is the natural fusion of these converging traditions: Egypt (embodiment), Greece (knowledge), and Israel (devotion).
