Jessenic View on Gnosis
Mani said in his writings: ‘The Church (Ekklesia) is one, is two and is three.’ Such
Manichaean Church segmentation reflects in many other Esoteric Orders and Schools, in
Masonry for instance, as three initiatory degrees: Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and
Master Mason.
That teaching is however much more profound than we can realize by a first look.
Actually, it is directly related to the Essenes, an initiatory sect which has achieved an
initiatory method only possible to be applied after angelical hierarchies have been working for
65,000 years on planetary waters, leading some springs, lakes and seas to a very intense
salinization, resulting particularly the paramount lake in the Eastern: the Dead Sea or Miryam.
The name Dead Sea, Miryam (from Hebrew), if translated to English, turns to Sea-
Mary 24 , meaning its salt waters have been used as a Gate between the Angels and the Initiates
of Qumran. A similar work was also executed in the Sea which nowadays was reduced to a
Salt Valley in Bolivia, formally the Valley of Uyuni, which has served as a magnificent
Angelical Gate for the initiatory work of Manco Capac.
Both Elkasaites and Mandeans believe the Saviour has descended through such Mir-
Yam or Gate of the Angels about 2,000 years ago, in order to reveal the magnificent secrets of
fundamental Gnostic initiatory rituals: Baptism, Sacred Meal and Threefold Unction.
In fact, Essenes, Yossenes and finally current Jessenian Gnostics teach that the period
for initiatory sexual sublimation, corresponding to Biblical Old Testament 25 is expired, and
that after the Saviour’s work, Gnostic initiation is solely by the means of Baptismal, Prandial
and Anointing Rites.
That is the essence of the teaching in the Gospel of Pistis Sophia. In the last chapters
of such magnificent Gnostic gospel the Baptism is pointed as a basic initiatory rite to separate
from within the blood and heart, as well as mind, darkness from light, struggling with the
false spirit of flesh (the astral body).
Any other kind of ‘gnosis’ insisting on sexual rites, on rites using incenses and
invocations to cosmic beings, although vastly mentioning the Gnostic literature of Nag
Hammadi, or even the Gospel of Pistis Sophia, should rather be found among the practitioners
of yogic occultist or theurgical initiations, which are efficient to those wanting to evolve,
being in whatsoever way hugely different from Gnostic Initiation, this aiming at the complete
liberation of the fallen human.
It is worthy in Gnostic initiation what the Gospel of Pistis Sophia quotes from Psalm
91: 11 and 12 – and here we complete what is found written in items 9 and 10 of the booklet
in reference: ‘For to his Angels it will be given the command to take care of the initiates, to
keep them safe in all of their paths. These Angels will hold them by the hands, so that they
(the initiates) do not stumble with their feet on stone.’
24 Mary, Jesus’ mother, is exalted in some ancient Christian hymns, such as Gate of the Angels, Samson’s
Honey and Celestial Glory.
25 Reference is made to Jewish rite of Circumcision, as well as all the religious, templar and synagogal apparatus
related to it, including the pure Jewish Cabalah. Likewise, all ancient sexual cults, among them the Tantra Yoga,
are now taken into account.
