General Introduction to Sons Aumen Israel - Part 10
Sons Aumen Israel, or the Beni-Amin Temple Order and its associated Oblates, is an autonomous and self existing Order which was established at dawn on January 25, 1981 at Saratoga Hot Springs, by its founder - Davied Asia Israel, acting under direct guidance of Yeshu-Maria (Jesus and Mary). After this date: Oracles and Revelations were received, land was purchased, a Temple begun, scriptures crystallized, and souls were initiated into this New Covenant.
Sons Aumen Israel has been a cloistered esoteric Order, which recognizes ten levels of organization and "Priesthood". These levels are:
(Aaronic)
(Melchisedec)
Jaredite
Mohonrite
Zadokian
Enochian
Berashithian
Mazzalothian
Yohonian
Messianic
The preponderance of work, prior to 1988, had been focused on the third Zadokian Level and above, with the Jaredite and Mohonrite levels receiving limited attention in the last few years. The Aaronic and Melchisedec Levels of outer church organization are represented by the Essene Church of the Beni -Amin.
Preparatory Training
All souls wishing to take part in the esoteric program of Sons Aumen are first provided the opportunity to pass through either the Oblate Program of Sons Aumen Israel or the preparatory training provided by the Israel, or Nazarene, portion of Sons Aumen Israel located in northern Arizona.
Baptism into the Essene Church of the Beni-Amin, and ordination as a minister therein, is considered by us as initiation into the first Aaronic and "Essene" levels recognized by Sons Aumen Israel. (Callings in the Essene Church, such as that of Bishop, are considered to be of the Melchisedec level)
Baptism into the "Essene Order" in northern Arizona is considered by us as equivalent to actual entry into the Nazarene portion (Jaredite level) of Sons Aumen Israel proper.
Mystical Immersion into the Beni-Amin is seen as entry into the Ebionite portion (Zadokian and Enochian levels) of Sons Aumen. (The Sons Aumen, or Beni-Amin, portion of Sons Aumen Israel is not considered identical with either the Essene Church or Sons Aumen Israel, but is viewed as a deeper Order within, or above, these outer organizations consisting of the Zadokian, or higher, levels.)

Teaching Labors
Prior to 1999, with its Essene and Nazarene Levels somewhat dormant, Sons Aumen Israel had not received a commission to publicly proselyte or announce its teachings to the world, although some limited, low key, exposure has been allowed. (Some information on Sons Aumen Israel, under its alternate name of Sons Ahman Israel, was allowed to be printed in various editions of the Encyclopedia of American Religions, and limited literature was privately circulated.)
Rather than focus its labors on basic foundational and missionary work, Sons Aumen Israel was instead called to quietly develop its Temple Endowment, Monastic Program, and School of the Prophetic Ones. In due time she was called to establish the Essene Church of the Beni-Amin whose calling is to fulfill this outer missionary role, and other important tasks.
The Sons Aumen (Beni-Amin) portion of Sons Aumen Israel agrees with the Essene Church's general diet, lifestyle, spiritual disciplines and basic doctrinal stance. The Holy Order of Sons Aumen considers the Essene Church of the Beni-Aumen, and the Essene Order in Arizona, to be an excellent foundation upon which one can begin to build a completely consecrated life in Yeshu-Maria. Because of this, Sons Aumen Israel members seek to serve within the Essene Church and Order, and seek to lovingly direct and guide all her little children and novices through the experiences offered by these beautiful organizations before it considers initiating them into the deeper doctrines of the Holy Order of the Beni-Amin.
Organization
The Beni-Amin portion of Sons Aumen Israel is presently presided over by Abba Davied and Amma Isis (photo). Abba Davied and Amma Isis not only function in the role of Abba (Patriarch) and Abba (Matriarch) of Sons Aumen, but also as a Abba and Amma founders of the Essene Order in northern Arizona. It many ways this Holy Order project resembles the ancient Essene "Encampments" mentioned in certain Dead Sea Scrolls. It provides a place of physical gathering for all Essenes who desire to make practical the tenants of their faith and who desire deeper initiation into Nazarene truths. The "Essene Order" has certain monastic overtones and opportunities, but does not require the strict monastic vows and disciplines like the ancient Beni-Amin or Beni-Zadok Orders. In many ways it resembles a vegetarian form of the Moshav and Kibbutz agricultural settlements of modern Israel. Its basic principles, and the basic principles of Sons Aumen Israel and the Essene Church, can be summed up in the 12 Commandments taken from the Essene New Testament:
Essene 12 Commandments
The Essene Law given by Yesua-Maria in the Gospel of the Nazarenes
.
0 "Hear O Israel , IAO, Thy Aumen is One; Many are Our seers, and Our prophets. In Us all live and move, and have subsistence.":
I "You Shall not take away the life of any creature for your pleasure, nor for your profit, nor yet torment it."
II "You Shall not steal the goods of any, nor gather lands and riches to yourselves, beyond your need or use."
III "You shall not eat the flesh , nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature, not yet anything which brings disorder to your health or senses.
IV "You shall not make impure marriages, where love and health are not, nor yet corrupt yourselves, or any creature made pure by the holy."
V "You shall not bear false witness against any, nor willfully deceive any by a lie to hurt them."
VI "You shall not do to others, as you would not that others should do to you."
VII "You shall worship One eternal, the Father-Mother in heaven, of whom are all things, and reverence the holy name."
VIII "You shall revere your fathers and your mothers on earth, whose care is for you, and all the teachers of righteousness."
IX "You shall cherish and protect the weak, and those who are oppressed, and all creatures that suffer wrong."
X "You shall work with your hands the things that are good and seemly; so will you eat the fruits of the earth, and live long in the land."
XI "You will purify yourselves daily and rest the seventh day from labor, keeping holy the sabbath and the festivals of your God."
XII "You shall do to others, as you would that others should do to you."
And when the disciples heard these words, they beat on their breasts, saying, "Wherein we have offended, O Aumen forgive us; and may thy wisdom, love and truth within us, incline our hearts to love and keep this holy law."
Conclusion & Invitation
Souls seeking formal initiation into the Beni-Amin portion of Sons Aumen Israel are encouraged to first explore the excellent foundational program offered by the Essene Church of the Beni-Aumen and, if possible, further their formation by residency in a Essene Cooperative like the Order in northern Arizona. (This Essene and Nazarene foundation, or its equivalent, is a necessary prerequisite for formal entry into the Holy Order of the Beni-Amin, being considered its first four levels of Aaronic, Melchisedec, Jaredite and Mohonrite initiation. When this preparatory work is either redundant or impractical, special arrangements may be made for serious students of these Mysteries through the Oblate Program of Sons Aumen Israel.)
Further information concerning these opportunities can be acquired by writing or e-mailing the Porter at Holy Order in Arizona.

Now it is me who has the difficulty seeing what this has to do with Mormonism.
Can you explain it to me in simple and sensible terms so that a wayfaring (wo)man, though he/she be a fool, need not err?

The Revelation of Ahmen was given by Orson Pratt - if you feel that he was not teaching proper Mormon doctrine, that is fine with me. Clarification/Follow-up by GAPeach on 12/29/03 8:17 am:
So, you shoot off the subject again. I suppose that is a habit you cannot help.
You ignore the material and wuestion i post to introduce somethingn not addressed in the material from the websits or the question I ask.
And then you have the bald faced cheek to try to make me appear to disagree with some other matter.
That is a dishonest way to conduct a discussion, and I reprimand you for it.
Do not reply unless you can get yourself on track and deal with the issue I raised not one that is lurking at the back of your mind.
If you can't stay on the point, that is fine with me but I will not pander to your whims or dance to your tune.
Perhaps your suspension has taught you nothing.
That is fine with me also.

When you wish to stop the personal attacks and deal with the issue, please let me know. Clarification/Follow-up by GAPeach on 12/29/03 11:53 am:
When you choose to stay on the subject, I shall have no need to point out your deficiencies, so the remedy is entirely in your hands.
