Omer Process

Explanation of the Omer Process (for New Members)

 

In accordance with Community Rule I:4-15, Community has established a four-year process for new residents and youth to become full members. This novitiate process is called the Omer process, a Hebrew word (H#562) that means a promise. Each Omer includes new commitments to Anokeesed and His community, to learn, and grow in understanding and give of yourself to others.

 

The 1st Omer begins, for new residents, at Ingathering with taking the Covenant of Community. Likewise, children here would begin their Omer process when they first take the covenant at 18-21 years old.

 

Every Omer has both spiritual goals to accomplish and temporal changes in how you live, as you purify away from Babylon. The spiritual growth is the foundation for the temporal changes in your life. It is expected that you will be diligent to learn and grow into this process and that Motsah will gently lead you. Community members, men of service, transcripts, and the volumes of the Book of Remembrance are all resources to aid you in your process. It is generally expected that the Omer process begins when you become a resident of community, and each Omer will take a year to complete. If additional time is needed, a petition can be made to the council.

 

The four Omers follow the say, feel, do, be process (as per Melchizedek 1:39) and reflect the purifications of heaven that the righteous are expected to perform in this life (as per Grandmothers 8:26-29). In the 1st Omer, a person is expanding their ability to hear what Anokeesed would say. The 2nd Omer includes feeling with Anokeesed in a deep and profound ways. In the 3rd Omer, a person is learning how to act on new levels to bless Anokeesed and their fellows. In the 4th Omer, a person is understanding how they can become their vision of created purpose.

 

We want to help clearly define the Omer process, and what is expected for a person to accomplish in each Omer, to be able to better support you in becoming who Anokeesed created you to be.

 

The 1st Omer

 

In first Omer the focus is on what Anokeesed will say to you by the voice of His Spirit. The Book of Remembrance of Achee is the principal text for study in this Omer. The Story of Messiah’s life as a Man is a treasure with one of purest descriptions of who Motsah really is. 1 Achee covers the 24 High Priest Communities and man’s role in calling forth who Motsah is. It answers the question: What does it mean to be a member of a numbered community? 2 Achee outlines the 7 Advocacies of Messiah

 

Melchizedek 1:35:

 

And in the first Book of Remembrance, even the writings of my son, Achee, I have declared profound things regarding the process of repentance and forgiveness, and the creation of the souls of men in the purity of infinite love, and of an exceeding great many things to the unfolding of the mysteries of the kingdom. And such revelations in the book of Achee are what God would say. And it is very important that my people learn what God would say to them so that they may overcome ways that they have been taught by the traditions of their fathers and the dogmas of their religions and the views of those who would find dominance over them. And I have done this so that they may come to learn of the true character of my Father and of how infinitely they are loved by Him – for He is also their Father – and so that they may learn of my task as Creator and Redeemer.

 

The 1st Omer begins with taking the Covenant at Ingathering. The Covenant states:

 

“No individual one of you can come into this new covenant because of someone else’s love for Me or by someone else’s repentance. Each must find and love me. You each must become clean before Me. Do whatever it takes in your repentance and discipline to know Me and I will do whatever it takes to preserve and bless you upon the Promised Land forever.”

 

Each person must take responsibility for their own process through the Omers. Pray, study, and ask questions.

 

When a person becomes a resident of community, their cell phone(s) and computer(s) need to be given away, sold, or locked in a storage box for safekeeping in case the person decides to leave before he/she completes the Omers. No exceptions. We have a landline phone for all community residents to use and track phones for travel.

 

In first Omer as you transition from Babylon. You can drive and spend money on yourself, but NOT on community. We view money as unclean. Like the Essenes in Christ day, someone carries the purse & spends money for everyone else. Touching money makes someone unclean and purification is needed.

 

Spiritual goals to be accomplished in the 1st Omer:

  • Growing in our understanding of the repentance process and how to utilize fully the living water in our life. (2 Achee 6:44-61)
  • Learning to do days of repentance effectively. (Handbook and Pathway to Zion)
  • Learning and growing in your ability to hear Motsah’s voice to you in your heart. Also learning to blend your relationships with God and with others in community. (2 Achee 6:44-61)
  • Learning about the 1st and 2nd Decrees of Creation

 

The 2nd Omer

 

In second Omer, the focus is on what Anokeesed is feeling. The Book of Remembrance of Enoch is the principal text. You can feel the gentle love of your Father Anokeesed in your life and in the lives of others. Yawd/Maween are where righteous feel in common. We are to be an expression of Anokeesed’s lovingkindness to others (Enoch 9:76-86). The four directions encompass the whole so no matter where we go we are surrounded by Anokeesed (Enoch 14:128-150).

 

Melchizedek 1:36:

 

And with the second Book of Remembrance even the writings of Enoch I brought to my people that which God would feel. And there are profound accounts of my infinite and deep feelings for all my children and expressions of what I desire my people to feel. And many accounts of these things are given there. And I can feel with those who sin and reject me, for I feel no rancor, not even for the very wicked. And the feelings of my Father are heralded in the record of the Book of Remembrance of Enoch in very personal ways.

 

In the 2nd Omer, a person stops spending money and driving. They must use community drivers and those who carry the purse for their needs.

 

Spiritual goals to be accomplished in the 2nd Omer:

  • Grow in understanding of who Anokeesed really is. Develop a deep & personal relationship with Him. (Enoch 5:46,48 and 5:3-25)
  • Begin to feel worth of who you are before Anokeesed. Learn of your vision of created purpose. Receive a righteous name.
  • Learn of the nature and personalities of the ancient righteous people (Enoch 1:11-12)
  • Learn to be aware of Anokeesed’s desires in the lives of others. Learn to love others and give of yourself to bless them according to Anokeesed’s desires for them. (Enoch 11:1-39)
  • Learn to feel and recognize the difference between Decadarchiy and Eerkodeshiy (Enoch 10:40-61, 8:20)
  • Purify our lives so we can fully express the sanctity of marriage – Yaatsekawd and Cavah are our example in holy marriage (Enoch 3:93-108), marriage counsel from Motsah (Enoch 12:99-136)
  • Learn of purity of Eden (Enoch 4:82-157, 5:30-57, 5:95-127)
  • Learn about being clean and unclean. Being clean is feeling Motsah in the Eerkodeshiy and others and being aware of His love and presence with us. Learn how to purify when we are made unclean. (Enoch 15:4-28)

 

The 3rd Omer

 

In the 3rd Omer we focus on what Anokeesed would do. The Book of Remembrance of our Ancient Grandmothers is principal text for 3rd Omer. Holiness is what we do. You choose righteousness to greater degrees. Begin to learn meaning in righteousness of daily tasks. For example: hauling water. A man brings the living water to his home. Tell the water where it’s going and who it will bless and develop a relationship with the living water. We have Noah’s example of how to respond when confronted with evil people (Grandmothers 10:54-59). We have the teachings of Abarah about Seven Qualities of Spirit (Grandmothers 8), how to purify and experience the stations of heaven in this life (Grandmothers 7), and abiding angels and what resurrected righteous do in service to Anokeesed (Grandmothers 9). We have the Four Orders of Creation (gift of life, agency, sanctity of marriage, & service to Anokeesed) in Grandmothers 12:89-104.

 

Melchizedek 1:37:

 

And in the third Book of Remembrance, even that of our ancient grandmother,s I brought to my people a knowledge of that which God would do. And that revelation is filled with clear instructions in how to know me and my Father Anokeesed and what they must do to live and worship by my desires and by my guidance find their way to cross over into spiritual Eden and back again in this life. And I brought guidance that allows them to be empowered so they may understand how to interact with the angels of heaven and accomplish holiness of heart, in the midst of wickedness, which will enable my people to be empowered in their service to me and in their love for one another. And all this has been to edify the righteous and enable them to live holy lives and do greater things than I have done when I walked in the flesh.

 

In the 3rd Omer, a person fully participates in the community storehouse. You do not spend any personal money in any way. Your personal finances are saved in trust for you in case you decide to leave community before your 4th Omer.

 

Spiritual goals of the 3rd Omer:

  • Learn about righteousness and joining with the Eerkodeshiy with the languages of Eerkodeshiy (Grandmothers 11:81-102)
  • Learn to be aware of our effect on Anokeesed. All we do has an effect on His tender heart. Live the Ten Guidances of Anokeesed to make Him happy. (Grandmothers 3:7-18)
  • It is a time for Ordinations for men. This supports a knowledge of a person’s ability to act in service for Anokeesed. The Lord’s spirit guides us in all we do. (Grandmothers 2:11-18)
  • Learn about fasting. Noah established fasting (Grandmothers 11:17-18)
  • Learn about understanding forgiveness (Grandmothers 4)
  • Women discover which clan they belong in. The women’s clans were established by Ashmoreth. The 3 clans follow the Power of Godliness (in Maween) and the process of the Living Water of reproval, repentance and forgiveness (in Qatar). (Grandmothers 5:46-50)

 

The 4th Omer

 

The Book of Remembrance of Melchizedek is the principal resource for 4th Omer. The people of the First Great Sevening are examples to us for our religion. For example, Zakar and Ri’hiy are our examples for the men to listen and women to look to find meaning to life (Melchizedek 5:4-35), the meaning of being clean (Melchizedek 5:22-23). Shoob rescues his brother Zanak and brought him home to Anokeesed (Melchizedek 5:58-65). The Eerkodeshiy become a community together in preparation for Shabuwa.

 

Melchizedek 1:38:

 

And now I am come to bring to you the fourth Book of Remembrance, even the Book of Melchizedek. And with this knowledge and understanding and holy guidance and intelligence, the righteous can be truly the sons and daughters of my Father during times of tribulations. And they can be enabled in their service to abide the day with holiness of heart. And they will bring joy to Anokeesed and the gift of life to their families.

 

Spiritual goals of the 4th Omer:

  • Learn common consent. Sit in on council meetings for training to eventually be approved by the Council for common consent.
  • Learn about the process of agency (Melchizedek 3:85-89)
  • Learn the meaning of sounds of life & sounds of death (Melchizedek 3:93-112, 4:17-30)
  • Learn the full meaning of actually living the Religion of Shabuwa
