About this library
This text is one of the public-domain editions kept in the free reference library of the Modern Order of Essenes, alongside the earliest accounts of the Essenes, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the saints, mystics and yogis of later ages. Students of the course read them beside the Gnostic Lessons, so that each teaching is seen in the light of its roots.
The course itself is free and self-paced, with a teacher to answer your questions. See how the course works or write to begin.
