The Essene Massalas

"By resurrecting the Essene lodges, contemporary Essenes pay profound homage to Freemasonry, heir to the Rose Cross, the Templars, the Johannites and the wisdom of the pharaohs. Thus, the Tradition remains alive and the Phoenix, the Benou bird, is always reborn from its ashes, reconstituting a body for itself and making the highest mysteries of the spirit appear."

A vast, grand work is born in this year 2010: the creation of Essene lodges, called "study circles" starting in 2013, then "massalas" starting in 2014, that is, houses of the sun. Many Essenes mobilize to gather together and set this work down in their region. Veritable havens of peace and freshness in the arid desert of a degenerating humanity, these places offer their light to the world like beacons in the open ocean. Thus, those who cannot yet come to settle in an Essene Village feel less isolated and unite their living forces.

"Man must pass through this world seeking truth. Truth is the ultimate perfection, the true face of all beings. In all things, there is a particle of truth that enables to keep alive the bond with the world of eternity. Truth opens the doors of eternity, and therefore of immortality, of perfection. Sometimes, it takes lives and lives to gain a little wisdom. Wisdom enables to approach truth, to measure its value.

In the ancient homeland of the Sons of the Sun, the Egypt of the great pharaohs, truth was called 'Maat,' the rule of the lodge. By tradition, every Essene lodge is connected to Maat and is dedicated to the study of what is, to absolute, eternal, immutable and divine truth. It must be studied through devotion, theurgic rites and works. It is through the work that man creates a body of sage for himself that enables him to approach truth. Adoration, veneration, meditation, silence, the sacred attitude of the mysteries are virtues that, worked in lodge, enable to approach the revelation-truth. Truth brings the solution to all problems, and yet it itself cannot be explained. It teaches without being able to be understood itself. It remains the mystery of the Father."

For Olivier Manitara, this work is in continuity with the teaching of the Egypt of the pharaohs. Pharaoh was called the Great House, the lodge, that is, the earth, the Mother. It is in his body that all the rituals took place and it is in his name and under his magical authority that they were celebrated.

"Our project is to create Essene lodges, Essene temples in which one comes to study how to enter a temple, how to create a space where the sacred is present and even omnipresent. At a given moment in your life, if you enter an atmosphere that is sacred, that is holy, that is pure, and you work on attitudes, thoughts, conscious, awakened feelings, gestures, melodies, sounds that call magic, this makes it so that in reality, another world is possible.

In the Essene lodges must be developed the knowledge of the ancient mysteries of the spirit. It is a sacred place of initiation, of healing, of study and of education. One of their vocations is to create an energy field, an aura of Light to rebalance the aura of cities, of countries and bring peace, intelligence, healing, prosperity to all countries, peoples, traditions, religions, humanity, the kingdoms, the earth.

Man must enter this place leaving his shoes outside, that is to say that the world of death and of recycling are not invited. He comes there to study, to learn, to meditate, to connect, to offer and serve. By entering this energy field, he receives the blessing and he himself is charged with positive creative energy."

Very many ceremony booklets are going to be written by the vestals so as to conduct and guide the participants at best in the heart of this vast project.

In January 2011, the first lodges open their doors in Quebec, in France and in Switzerland, enabling each one to accomplish at his own rhythm and in the greatest humility this work of transformation, of alchemy and of purification. Others come to life shortly after within the French overseas departments and territories: in Guadeloupe, in Martinique, on Reunion Island, in New Caledonia, then in Greece, in Belgium, in Holland, in Gabon, in Italy and in Haiti.

"When the Essene lodges are developed everywhere in the world, they will form the Terra lucida, the holy land of our Father Uriel, upon which the temple of God must be built. Ancient Egypt and the profound mysteries of the pyramid and of the sphinx and of their initiations will then be able to shine again on earth."

Archangel Raphael describes the mission of the study circles:

"Information, education and action are fundamental. Such a telepathic network must exist so as to enable another vision and another intelligence to manifest and incarnate.

Putting this network in place is one of the major roles of the work of the Essene study circles. Then you will be in strength and you will be able to considerably attenuate the action of the overpowering information network put in place by the intelligence that governs the world of men at the present time. This network conveys a powerful magic that invades you, fills you, spellbinds you, possesses you, takes hold of your subtle senses, directs your thoughts and conducts your energies. You are totally unaware of it, for you are undergoing this invasion.

Only the putting in place of another information network, conveying another intelligence, will enable you progressively to balance the situation, to come out of it and to look at things with another eye, to awaken to a different point of view, to strengthen yourselves and to commit yourselves on another path in consciousness. Do it for yourselves and for future generations. Thus, you will have the means to take care of yourselves and of the earth and you will be able to cultivate again certain values that bring relief and healing."

Many ancient traditions worked in lodge, such as Freemasonry, and have kept this knowledge, although it has often become a dead letter and the know-how has disappeared.

The one who aspired to Initiation had to learn to concentrate when he entered the lodge so as to observe the subtle phenomena that surrounded him and inhabited him and so as to illuminate his life, his being and to understand the Teaching in a concrete application.

Becoming virgin is the goal to reach so as to approach the door of the divine world. In the Essene tradition, one calls "virgin" an initiate who has reached the summit of Initiation and who stands before the door of the mysteries of the spirit. Such an initiate has made himself able to work for the Light, for he is capable of no longer mixing the worlds, and therefore of preserving the purity of the divine world.

After having worked in hiddenness, the initiate must descend again into the mundane world and it is there that the work must be accomplished. The wise light gained by the works in massala must not only illuminate his daily life, but it must also bring the blessing to humanity and to the earth, to the Mother. When the Mother is touched by the seed of the Light, the two visible and invisible worlds are united and the work is accomplished.

Today, the Essene massalas welcome fraternities of beings who have the same ideal, groups of free individuals, united by the same vision, circles of friends who practise the same sacred rites, thus creating an egregore that reinforces the Essene tradition and brings positive and beneficial forces into the destiny of all those who study its wisdom.
