This is a course about life and its spiritual nature. We invite you to join us on a journey into the wisdom of the Essenes.
For the Essenes learning means: raising awareness.
Practice means: to apply this awareness
The college gives you tools to raise your awareness.
Life itself provides you with opportunities to practice it.
The initial course takes two years, but there is the possibility to continue with more advanced courses in mysticism and healing techniques.
Teaching happens in concentrated periods during the year. See under Auckland, Sydney and Amsterdam for details.
Main course contents
The beginning of the world was the separating out of oneness into seven souls. They form the origin of our DNA. The Essenes tell us how these souls created physical reality. They also talk about life in other dimensions.
Human beings are made up of seven different types of energy, seven "bodies" that range in density. The first one, with the highest density, is our physical body; the last one has no density at all and is the God body. The Essenes explain the connections between the bodies, particularly between the first three: the physical, emotional and mental bodies.
The Source, which forms part of each of us, consists of seven different types of energy, known as the Seven Bridges of Christ Consciousness: Commitment, Compassion, Contemplation, Truth, Trust, Following and Wisdom. This is an all-embracing concept in which every human experience has a place. We study the characteristics of each bridge and learn how to balance these seven energies.
Did you know that the mind consists of nineteen parts? This is possibly the most fascinating topic of all. You will learn how thoughts are created in the mind, how they influence our emotions, our physical body and the way we perceive our experiences.
Did you know that there are 51 emotions that influence our daily life? Each of them relates to a particular part of your physical body.
The Essene concept of the seven levels of Acceptance is the main tool to move from resistance or denial towards letting go and surrendering to the flow of life. This process helps us to let go of our expectations.
Our belief systems hinder us expressing our true self. At times they can create major obstacles. The Essenes show us what forms our beliefs can take and teach us how to gradually release them.
The Essenes developed a comprehensive healing system, based on the flow of the seven energies (the bridges). They discovered 49 areas in the body that connect to these energies. We learn about the interplay between the mind, the emotions and these areas in the body.
The Essenes found that there are twelve senses. For example, the sixth sense, called the third eye, gives us insight into the future. The seventh sense, called the "third ear" takes us to a place beyond time and space.
What happens to our soul when we leave this life, where are we going and what are our spirits doing in the time between lives?
The Essenes talk to us about their experiences when they lived in the Qumran Caves 2000 years ago.
