Welcome, Kabbalists!

This meetup group is the New York City branch of the Order of the Essenes-East London, founded by Rabbi Desiree Ntolo.

The Essenes were a mystical branch of Judaism, steeped in knowledge of the Qabalah.

The Order of the Essenes is a spiritual path, an occult Kabbala community for people of all races and colors who are interested in the Historical Jesus/Yeshua of Nazareth. You not only want to know who he was, but also want to practice the original faith he set up. Thus, those who have become disillusioned with Christianity and want to worship like Jesus worshipped, without criticizing, judging, or imposing themselves on other creeds are invited to join. This is also for the Jewish person who recognizes that Jesus has something special to offer.

Yeshua Bar Joseph of Nazareth was raised both in the Essene Wisdom of the Ancient Rabbinical Mysteries, as well as in the Phariseeic Synagogue of his village, in which he underwent his Bar-Mitzvah. His faith was one of tolerance, knowledge, and wisdom. He deeply believed in, as well as practiced the ancient Kabbalistic traditions of the Hebrews. He was the FIRST Jew that declared that Kabbalah was for, and should be taught, to everyone who seeks it.

Therefore, we worship like he did, follow his original teachings, not the falsified ones that were given to humanity by the Church of Rome, and that have now been spread through Christendom.

So, while worshipping, we actively seek our Divine realization while we live. We fast, and follow the path he followed, and we emulate what he did as he explained CLEARLY: "Everything I do now, you too can do, and more..."

We consider Yeshua to be our Teacher, our Rabbi, and our Prophet. However, we worship GOD, as he did, as he exclaimed.."Our father, who art in heaven..."

In other words...to us, Jesus is NOT GOD. He did NOT ask to be worshipped, though in his time he was indeed "A" Messiah, like those who have been, and those who will come now, and in the future...

We believe in spiritual enlightenment and actively seek it. We practice the ancient kabbalistic rituals of the Essenes and are tolerant of other religions, faiths, and creeds. Aside from educating people about what Jesus really said and taught, and what really happened to him, we do not spend our time and energy reviling other groups, claiming that we are right, and we are the only WAY. Simply, we let others BE. If you are one who is NOT a member of a Christian or Jewish organization who has contempt for other groups, please join us! We can offer you an opportunity to learn what Jesus wanted us all to learn and to be.

Those aspirants who feel inclined will have the opportunity to become Essene Monks and Nuns, living on the community premesis on a permanent basis. We intend to have worldwide branches, and they will become immediately active when there are a minimum of 5 members.

There are no fees, but donations will be requested at meetings.

As Essenes, we encourage people to live fully and joyfully, albeit in a dignified, honest, and lawful manner. Essene monks and nuns have the right to marry and have families...

Members who seek training in the MYSTERIES of the Qabalah, as it was transmitted to Abraham, Moses, Solomon, and Jesus, must join the Order of the Essenes. The process is simple: Buy the book "The Sacred and the Profane," by Desiree Ntolo, found at authorhouse.com, or amazon, barnesandnoble, or borders.com...Then, attach the ORIGINAL form from your book, along with payment...
