Do you consider yourself an Essene?
If someone were to walk up to you and ask what spiritual path you follow, would your answer be Essene, or something else?
Do you consider yourself an Essene, are you interested in their ways, or do you simply incorporate some of the Essene philosophy / practices without necessarily identifying as such?
I know for example that with the Budhist philosophy, a lot of people do include Eastern and Budhist "practices" in their daily lives without identifying as such per se, and was wondering is it is a bit the same with the Essenes and the raw community.
Just curious to see where most people stand. Please share as you are comfortable.

I seem to have read somewhere that Yoga was in its origins a way to bring one closer to spiritual oneness with the source.
Off course here in the US it is seen more as an exercise form, albeit a spiritually inclined one, though still a way to heal physical ailments.
There is a book called The Light of The Soul, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Though I have not read it myself, I understand it goes deeper into the goal of soul awakening through yoga. Might be a good reference for your essay.
