Naz-Mani
Essene Nazoraean Mandaean Manichaean Path
In the Living Gods, Let the hallowed Light of Transcendant Truth be praised. Let the Sweet Mystery of Miryai awaken in all heart of hearts.
"Nazoreans .... who forbid all flesh-eating,
and do not eat living things at all. . . . . But they hold that the
scripturesof the Pentateuch were not written by Moses, and maintain that
they have others."
- (Panarion)
NAZ-MANI TERM
Naz-Mani, or Nazarene Manichaeism, is a term the denoting the entire Living Water Lineage from its early inception as a vegetarian farming goddess cult in ancient Armenia, Sumer and Babylon, through his first century blossoming under Yohonna, Yeshu, and Miryai; it's later augmentation by Elxai and Zazai; and its eventual culmination and transformation by Mani who spread it to every corner of the known world. This Naz-Mani Stream of Gnosis was characterized in antiquity by certain unique traits and teachings, on the surface there was a tradition of peasant farming, uncut long hair, white clothing, vegetarian diet, nonviolence, non sacrifice, purification rituals, non-celibacy, and goddess worship. These once distinguishing outer hallmarks were had by the Pythagorians of Greece, the Zarathrustrians and Magi of Persia, the northern Nazarene Essenes of southern Syria, the Therapeutae of Egypt, Elkasaites and Sampsaeans of the middle east, and early Mandaeans of Iraq, Manichaeans who were in Europe Africa and Asia, white robe long-haired married Nyingma monks and nuns of Tibet, the Religion of Light in China, and others. These and other various ancient expressions or reflections of this Naz-Mani Stream are celebrated during seven distinct liturgical seasons of the luni-solar year, each assigned a seven week cycle of practice and study. This gives variety and color to the inward journey, alleviating boring repetitive patterns so often seen in some paths.
THE PROGRAM
Complex were the recondite revelations of Mar Mani, obscur were the true teachings of Yeshu the Nazorean hidden beneath the false veneer of the made up Jesus of Nazareth, lost were the marvelous mysteries of Miryai -- in and thru Naziruta they seek re-emergence in pristine purity. They are priceless pearls designed by Life, or the Alive Ones, to hasten our awakening and catapult us into our destiny as dawnstars. In this Gate of Miryai will be an attempt to share with you many of the mysteries, the keys, the secrets that pertain to exaltation, and liberation from the confines of this eighth world and its surrounding walls of iron. Its purpose is to help one rediscover and explore one's own inner sanctuary, sealed ages ago and ready to be unveiled. In it will be shared the key doctrines of the Alive Ones that are most pertinent, most beneficial, and most useful for one's own inner illumination. Those who walk on the shores of the Sea of Life where beauty and purity and goodness are born and where the heart of man is refreshed are made once again one with their "original nature" thru Miryai's Loving Wisdom.
The goal is to make Naziruta more acesssible and understandable to the modern world - a world that has lost its way, a world increasingly divorced from the natural world, a world obsessed with the outer and ignorant of the inner, a world where slumbering pearls await the Call of Life and the awakening of their truer selves. If diligent as a student, you will discover key principles that will allow you to begin to transform your life into a magickal mandala where wondrous things truly happen, where experiences with the divine occur on a regular basis, and where you, the student, can experience firsthand the Gnosis that is eternal. There are three paths up this mountain of initiation for the thre types of student -- beginner (internet investigator), the serious (community associate), and the perfect (Temple initiate). Three programs as instigated anciently within the Living Stream of Gnosis, three oportunities to awake and rise.
"Between mountains twain, And between
three Shkintas, Between mountains twain Yawar, the Chosen One, founded
a Shkinta, a Shkinta did Yawar found,
And chosen righteous were established
therein, Therein were the chosen righteous established, And they arise
and behold the Place of Light." Qulasta
Psalms 114
"For, according to these (Naasseni),
there are three kinds of all existent things: angelic, psychical, earthly;
and there are three
churches:
angelic, psychical, earthly; and the names of these are: the Elect, the
Called, and the Captive. These are the heads of very numerous
discourses
which (the Naassene) asserts James the brother of the Lord handed down
to Mariamne (Miryai).. . . . " Extracted From Book V of
Refutation of all Heresies
