The Order of Nazorean Essenes was restored on January 25, 1981 under the name of Sons Ahman Israel, which is a translation of the name of the ancient Essene Nazorean Temple Order called the B'nei-Amin. This Order, along with the Amun-il Order and Manichaean Orthodox Church, make up the holy Order of Nazorean Essenes, or O.N.E. This Holy Order was re-established by the heavens for the purpose of facilitating a full restoration of the primitive Nazorean Christianity of the first century, sifting through the dross of ages of neglect and corruption, and bequeathing to its members a pure canon of Nazirutha scripture capable of assisting them in their quest for perfection and purification from all that is inferior.

The O.N.E. has also been charged with a full restoration of the purifying Mysteries, or rejuvenating Sacraments, of original Gnostic Christianity. We have also been commissioned with the establishment of Nazorean Communities and the building of Nazorean Temples and Shrines, as interest and resources permit. Our mission is to again make available the natural Essene lifestyle, male-female balance, lunar calendar, coed monasteries, temple rituals & liberating gnosis of original Nazorean and Manichaean Christianity.

We have been entrusted with certain little known "Scrolls" of Mandaic, Gnostic and Manichaean origin, and with certain "Heavenly Empowerments" and "Hidden Mysteries" to help us accomplish this calling. Our Priest(ess)hood is composed of both men and women and we worship a male and female form of both Deity and Messiah.

We offer online Catechisms of our Nazorean Way to train potential members of our Order in our doctrines and practices. After graduating from this three year Seminary, men and woman are eligible to request formal ordination into Nazorean Priest(ess)hood, should they wish to do so. Priestesses and Priests of our Order administer the purifying Mysteries, or Ritual Endowments of our Church and must be properly authorized and validated to do so.

For ease of presentation we try to depict the stages of spiritual progression along the Nazorean Path as a tenfold process represented by the ten-sphered Tree of life, with the upper degrees representing an especially cloistered and consecrated spiritual life. In reality, this tenfold system of progression breaks down into 32 smaller degrees of progression representing more realistic and obtainable stages of accomplishment on the road to perfection.

The ten Stages of initiation in the Nazorean system of enlightenment, called Nazirutha, qualify one for admittance to one of the ten heavens spoken of in ancient Nazorean texts. Those who successfully depart earth life while under the degree of purity represented by the first Degree are welcomed with open arms into the semi material world of Mishunia Kushta. Those who exit under the second level of purity qualify for the spiritual world of Abathur, and so on. Those who climb all the way up the outer and hidden trees qualify for the "Regions of the Ineffable" of Mara D' Rabutha where those who have achieved perfect wisdom and compassion and complete "Uthrahood" (Buddhahood) dwell.

The goal of the Nazorean Way is to obtain the highest degree of purity possible while on earth, so that when one departs this world one's soul may qualify for residency in one of the higher heavens corresponding to the degree of purity, compassion and wisdom achieved on earth.

"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
