We Are the Templars of Light

The Order of Light Temple stands as a modern continuation of an ancient lineage—the Essenes, those first “Brothers of Light” who walked the path between worlds. We are seekers who refuse the darkness of ignorance, practitioners who understand that true power lies not in domination but in alignment with the One Law that governs all creation.
In an age where humanity stumbles through spiritual emptiness, we offer what the Essenes offered millennia ago: a path of purification, knowledge, and awakening. We preserve the secret teachings that survived the burning of libraries, the wisdom that connects Pythagoras to Yeshua, the Alexandrian mysteries to the Kabala. This is not religion as performance—this is the reclamation of your divine inheritance.
Every soul experiences its Egypt, its desert, its exodus. We are here to illuminate the way through. The Law of One governs all things—matter and spirit, thought and action, the seen and unseen realms. To know this Law is to step out of bondage. To practice it is to walk in Light.
The time of awakening is now. The brothers and sisters of Light are gathering.
Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character]; for it is disgraceful even to mention the things that such people practice in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God’s precepts], for it is light that makes everything visible. For this reason He says,
“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.”Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.
[Eph. 5:11-17, Bible, NIV]
Our Foundation
Our Temple is based on the knowledge of the Original “Brothers of Light,” also known as the Essenes. This page illuminates the facts about the Order of Light Temple and our practices.
We are currently rebuilding our entire organizational structure and ministry chart, as we now have become established. If you feel called to this work and wish to stand at the foundation of what we are building, the time is NOW.
WHO WERE THE ESSENES?
The Essenes were a sect of Buddhists who first came from India, a very reclusive and monkish group whose initiates swore an oath and shaved their heads. Many great philosophers studied their belief systems and teachings, including Yeshua, Pythagoras, and the Stoics.
This teaching was a great contributor to the Alexandrian Mystery Schools, Freemasons, GnosticismHarmozel, also called Armozel is one of the four Great Light… More, Cabala, and early Christianity. The same teaching was an element of the Adonic culture of the Phoenicians, of the Alexandrian School of Philosophy in Egypt, and contributed greatly to many branches of Western culture. Jesus interpreted it in its most sublime and beautiful form in the seven Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount.
Their Libraries and Sacred Texts
The Essenes maintained vast libraries, such as the one in Alexandria. When the book burnings took place, the most venerated texts were secreted away to be returned into the public eye for later instructions.
The Oath of the Essenes
Despite their prohibition on swearing oaths, after a three-year probationary period, new members would take the Oath of the EssenesThe oath of the Essenes was taken after a three year probati… More, which included a commitment to practice:
- Piety to God and righteousness toward humanity
- Maintain a pure lifestyle
- Abstain from criminal and immoral activities
- Transmit their rules uncorrupted
- Preserve the books of the Essenes and the names of the angels
Their Theology
Their theology included belief in the immortality of the soul and that they would receive their souls back after death. The Books of Ieu discuss the “Guardians of the Portals” and the passwords to pass through them and redeem their souls.
Part of their teachings included purification by water rituals which were supported by rainwater capture. According to the Community Rule, repentance was a prerequisite to water purification. Also in the Books of Ieu, Yeshua explains the purifying ritual and the four baptisms.
OUR BELIEFS
Shaving the Head
Hair of the head. The hair of the head should not be worn long. It should be shaved at least every two months or when the hair has grown to a length of two fingerbreadths — whichever occurs first, says the Commentary. In Thailand there is
the custom that all bhikkhus shave their heads on the same day, the day before the
full moon, so that the Community can present a uniform appearance. Although this
is not obligatory, a bhikkhu who does not follow the custom tends to stand out from his fellows. BMC 2 (page 2)—
Face. One may not gaze at the reflection of one’s face in a mirror or bowl of water
unless the face has a wound or a disease. According to the Commentary, mirror
here covers any reflective surface; bowl of water, any liquid surface. -BMC 2 (page 3)
The Law of One
Also called the Law, with a capital L, first enumerated by MSS (Moses/Moshe), is the Understanding that the Law is the greatest and ONLY power in the Universe and all other laws and all things are a part of the one Law, which governs the entirety of the Universe.
The Law governs all that takes place in the universe — and all other universes, all activity, all creation, mental or physical. It governs all that exists in physical manifestation, in energy and power, in consciousnessIn all its forms and protean manifestations, consciousness i… More, all knowledge, all thought, all feeling, all reality. The Law creates life and it creates thought.
THE THREE PERIODS OF MOSES THE PROPHET
The three periods of Moses’ life, in which he discovered the Law and its manifestations, represent the three periods into which nearly every man’s life can be divided:
The First Period – Egypt (Bondage): The period of darkness and ignorance, when the free flow of vital energy is obstructed by ignorance and false values. Mankind’s Egypt, his slavery, consists in the totality of his deviations from the Law.
The Second Period – The Desert (Emptiness): When false values fall away and man sees nothing but emptiness ahead of him. It is in this period man most urgently needs inner guidance that he may find his way back to the Light, the Law.
The Third Period – The Exodus (Liberation): Possible for every man. There is always the Light showing the way to the exodus. Man’s Egypt of bondage is never eternal. The Exodus under Moses lasted forty years, but it was only a beginning on the path of intuition, the path of learning to live in harmony with the laws of life, of nature and the Kosmos.
An exodus for humanity can only be accomplished through the cumulative efforts of many people over many generations. The “Exodus” is also a metaphor for how a Man may achieve such enlightenment as to be released from this construct, as told in the Book of Enoch.
THE MYSTERY OF THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF MOSHE
This is the outer teaching of the Old Testament. The last three books of Moses discuss the Magic — which is the web of consciousnessIn all its forms and protean manifestations, consciousness i… More that meshes all of us together, and unveils secret emblems, seals, and codes to unlock the inner mysteries.
The Sixth Book of Moses
The Sixth Book contains Seven Secret Seals used in magical rituals. Each is presented, followed by a matching conjuration — a verbal spell summoning entities or energies beyond our reality that may respond and help to achieve the goal of the summoner.
The Seventh Book of Moses
The 7th Book contains magical tables, each of which performs a certain function. Carrying one with you or to a certain area may bring results like wealth, love, or good luck. Also included are examples of magic being performed in the Bible, followed by a Kabala section that reveals secret wisdom, the application of charms and remedies, and magical cures of the ancient Hebrews. If used with good intentions, this book claims to bring good fortune.
The Eighth Book of Moses
The 8th Book mostly covers initiations (mainly one that reminds us of the HGA ritual) and a hierarchy of the divine names. It contains text found in the GPM (Greek Magical Papyrus) (PGM XIII. 1-734).
“The Key” Moses refers to is cited six times in Moses VIII (lines 21-22, 31, 35-36, 60, 381-82, 431-32), and in the ensuing discourse mention is made of an Archangelical Book of Moses (XIII. 970-71), a Secret Moon Book of Moses (XIII. 1057), and perhaps (depending on how a single Greek letter is interpreted) also a Secret Tenth Book of Moses (XIII. 1077-78).
All of the Middle teachings are explained in the Secret Book of Moses.
