Dear Friends,
Three new lectures by Olivier Manitara about the Essenes are available on our web site at www.essenespirit.com/lectures.html:
1) “Jesus: Initiation into the Interior Light”:
“Jesus: Initiation into the Interior Light” is an extremely powerful lecture which sheds light on a profound secret of initiation within the inner mysteries of initiatic Christianity.
2) “Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno), Master of the Essene Brotherhood in Palestine: His Successive Lives”:
Albert Einstein said of Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno): “The whole world bows down before me; I bow down before the Master Peter Deunov from Bulgaria”. In “Peter Deunov, Master of the Essene Brotherhood in Palestine”, Olivier Manitara explores the successive lives of this great spiritual Master who has and is still accompanying humanity over the last several thousand years.
3) “Who Were The Essenes? -- Jesus and the Experience Which Revealed His Mission”:
Thanks to his capacity to go back through the memory of time (Akashic Records), Olivier Manitara raises a corner of the veil which covers the Essenes and the training of Jesus.
We are happy to offer you below an excerpt from this great lecture.

Excerpted from “WHO WERE THE ESSENES? – JESUS AND THE EXPERIENCE WHICH REVEALED HIS MISSION” by Olivier Manitara:
“… Put life in first place, study life: that was the Essene technique. Jesus practiced this technique. Where did his mission come from? How, all of a sudden, did he understand the meaning of his life?
It took place in an Essene temple, which wasn’t an extraordinary temple. It was made from small earthen bricks. It was very austere, it was very simple, it was like something vaulted with clay. It was made with clay which was plastered on the wall. On the ground, there was beaten clay. There was a small skylight, a small square window which didn’t even have any glass, which wasn’t even closed. There was simply a small piece of fabric in front which could open and close. There was no bed, there wasn’t any furniture. There was just a mattress which was made of dried and plaited leaves. His table was the things on the ground. Everything was in clay, it was encrusted in the house.
The Master had taken two clay pots. He had put earth inside them and he had gone to look for two plants. He was only young, he must have been seventeen years old. Every day he went and stood before these two plants and he watched them. He meditated in front of the plants. He would go and look for water, he watered one plant, and the other, he didn’t water. It’s a little unusual, but let’s say it was like that! He meditated on the plant that he watered, he meditated on the plant that he didn’t water. But he meditated life, he wanted to enter into life, you see? He looked for life like every Essene looks for life. Life in the first place. Life, life, life, without stopping. He thought of nothing but that, life! He saw the plant that he watered: it bloomed and the plant that he didn’t water began to be in a very bad state, above all since it was very hot. He entered into it and let it die. “What, and what’s more while meditating, it’s shameful, it’s immoral!” But if you knew what science does today!
He had asked for authorization from these plants. He had said to these plants: “We are going to do a job for God.” The plant dried out and the Master watched it, he meditated, he understood many, so many secrets. He understood the secret of prayer, because the plant prayed to have water. He understood the secret of deprivation, the secret of going without something, the secret of suffering. He saw how the plant, in reality, developed energies. For example, he saw that the plant which grew physically was very weak in the etheric body, in the spiritual life. And the life of the plant which didn’t develop had a gigantic aura. It’s quite some sacred experience, don’t you think?
The plant was dead, it had dried up, he had meditated and meditated. The plant returned to the earth. He had meditated, the earth had completely split and cracked, it had become completely dry. He had meditated, he had watched, he had entered into it. It lasted a very long time. Afterwards he went to look for water anew, they called this “the water of the heart”. He watered the earth very gently with the water of the heart. It was water inside which the Essenes placed their heart. It was water which was both outer and inner. This means that they had to transmit a strength from themselves which entered into the water. He poured it into the pot. He watched it. The earth dampened and the little seeds of the plant which had fallen on the dry earth began to sprout. And after, the plant, once again, revived with the water. And the Master understood that he was it, the plant: he had to die so as to revive, to bring a strength of prayer into the atmosphere of the earth, to lead men along with him, to know of death and to be reborn to life. He understood his whole mission! Read the Gospel and you will see that what I am telling you about this experience that he had – which I have just touched on very quickly – has so many implications!
Do you see the strength that the Essenes put into their practices? And how they understand the secrets of life through little secrets like that, to watch a plant wilt, of the importance of water and all these things? ...”

Who is Olivier Manitara?
Born in 1964, Olivier Manitara defines himself as a simple man who has been incarnated on Earth to revive the wisdom and the way of life of the Essenes, adapted for our era.
Olivier is the author of more than 30 spiritual and esoteric books in French. For more than 10 years he has presented about one hundred seminars, giving spiritual awakening techniques and approaches within the Essene tradition.
For Olivier, the Essenes are the children of Light and keep reincarnating again and again to be of help to humanity and all beings.
Throughout the centuries the Essenes reincarnated for example through the Manicheans, the Bogomiles, and the Cathars. A new manifestation for their incarnation at our time has been opened by Beinsa Douno (Peter Deunov), who was the reincarnation of the Master of the Essene Brotherhood in Palestine at the time of the Master Jesus. Olivier Manitara works in the lineage of Peter Deunov.
