Olivier Manitara was born in France, in 1964. Not having received any religious formation, it is by reading the sacred texts of humanity that he discovers by himself the existence of a primordial Tradition common to all the traditions of the peoples.
Later on, he will call it the Essene Tradition, carried for all time by the People of the Essenes, also called the Children of the Light, notably in the manuscripts of the Dead Sea discovered in Palestine, in the middle of the last century.
