The Order of The Way itself is an organisation that acts as a medium to explain, expand on and promote the precepts of a school of philosophical thought known as The Way. The aims and purpose of the Order of The Way is explained further on the About page.
An Introduction to the philosophy in general
The Way is probably the oldest philosophy known to man. We are not a belief system but base our outlook on the principles of provable truth, knowledge, logic and reason. We search for truth and knowledge by the following of reasoned thought only.
The Way is not a religion, but we do follow the true teachings of Joshua Ben Miriam, more commonly known as Jesus the Christ, along with those of the five Christs who came before him. Jesus was the sixth of seven High Lords of the Veil who would come to show mankind The Way so that he might set aside the ending of his days. It has been obvious for thousands of years that mankind is bent on its own destruction as a species.
Dan, Odin, Marduk (also known as Enoch), Moses and Buddha were also followers of the philosophy of The Way. All added to the knowledge and prophecies of The Way so that man could better understand his place in the greater scheme of things and therefore improve as a species.
At the centre of the teachings of The Way lie the teachings of these six teachers along with the teachings and philosophy of a historical but often very secret brotherhood known as the Brotherhood of Nazarenes, which also incorporates other brotherhoods, such as the Brotherhood of Light. The Way consists of several brotherhoods and organizations, of which The Order of The Way is just one. As a point of interest: most people in these modern times believe Jesus to have lived in Nazareth and that this is therefore the reason that he was named a Nazarene. However the place now known as Nazareth was not known by that name for some centuries after his time, and was so named in order to conceal his being a member of the Brotherhood of Nazarenes.
In The Way we do not accept any form of belief. Everything must be proved or at least demonstrated as workable before we will accept it, as anything else is just theory and should be treated so, no matter how good it appears to be. Theory is a step on the road of enquiry, but being unproven it is not sufficiently reliable to base our lives upon. This is why we accept only provable Truth, Knowledge, Logic and Reason. If you ask anyone if they are a reasoning person, they will most likely say “Yes.” If you then ask them what they know, they will usually tell you what they believe. In reality belief cannot exist in the presence of fact. Therefore if you are a believer — especially in something that is beyond belief — then you cannot be a reasoning person; otherwise you would not accept belief as fact. You would only accept provable fact.
