As delivered by Christ in the Pistis Sophia, there exists a group of ten gnostic commandments which every aspiring Essene or Nazorean gnostic must follow. These commandments are general in form and can fit peacefully with any existing religious beliefs. It should be the goal of any man or woman, of any race or religion, to accept these precepts into their life and into their own spiritual transformation.
"Be calm, be loving unto others, be gentle, be peaceful, be merciful,
give tithes, help the poor and sick and distressed, be devoted to
Deity, be righteous, be good that ye may receive the Mysteries of the
Light and go on high into the Light Land."- Yeshu (Jesus) Pistis Sophia 102

What is the Order of Nazorean Essenes?
An Order that seeks to resurrect an ancient
system of gnosis based on the hidden teachings of Yeshu (Jesus), Miryai
(Mary), and Mani.
How does this Order seek to resurrect such
teachings?
By carefully collecting, purifying and implementing
the ageless teachings found in the priceless scrolls of the Order.
What are these "priceless scrolls"?
The Canon of O:N:E: consists of three levels
of texts. The first and foremost is composed on ancient Nazorean writings
translated out of Aramaic, Gnostic texts from the Nag Hammadhi discovery,
and Manichaean texts.
What are the practices of this Order?
The foundational pillars are five - a vegan
diet and lifestyle, daily prayer, weekly fasting, participation in the
School of the Prophets, and support of monastic institutions.

 TO
PENETRATE THE MYSTERIES, to bless with a good
conscious, to be great and yet empty, to return to stillness and be forgiving,
to be compassionate and to deliver all people, to do good deeds and help
people reach the other shore - these are the great benefits of our Path
of cultivation.
TO
CALM PEOPLE IN stormy times, to help them
understand the nature of things, to maintain purity, to nourish all things,
to respect all life, and to answer the needs of those whose beliefs come
from the heart - these are the services the Order of Nazorean Essenes can
offer. - adapted
from a Chinese Stelae, 781A.D.
