Is this the truth? I want it to be the truth about Jesus so bad but it's in contradiction with the Old & New Testament in two ways...
1. It says to pray to the Earthly Mother and her angels (during the morning/afternoon) as well as the Heavenly Father and his angels (during the evening/night).
2. It recommends a raw uncooked diet with raw milk from beasts & honey from bees. No meat at all. Thou shall not kill man or beast! It says anything cooked or frozen is bad for your health. It needs to be fresh and unrefrigerated. It has a recipe to make bread with the sun and no oven!

The raw part isn't Biblical, but the honey, dairy, and no meat was part of the prophecy of Jesus.
>Isaiah 7.14-15 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
>Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

prior to the flood no one ate meat, not even the animals..
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.”
the genesis diet was a raw-food based diet

It's been a long time since our proscribed diet was the genesis diet. It was changed when we were forced out of Eden, and it was changed again during the wanderings in the desert. And it was changed again when Jesus was here. Each new covenant had it's own diet.

I feel like we need to go back to the more natural diet... we no longer need to eat meat for survival. We have so much abundance of food, especially fruits & vegetables that go to waste at grocery stores everyday. I read that 40% of produce (including meat) goes to waste at most grocery stores in the USA. It's ridiculous how we continue to slaughter animals for out fat bellies. It needs to change.

Agreed.
Seems pretty accurate. The Essenes is the group that Jesus / Yeshua was a part of. I also recommend the Nag Hammadi

does anything about the Earthly Mother appear in any other lost books of the bible?

You need to talk to God, man. He is the one with the answers. Don't listen to humans, we can be corrupted and mislead. Pray, and he will answer. It probably won't be straight up audible, but you'll be gifted with the truth. Don't allow yourself to be controlled or corrupted by human ideas
