How is Nuwaubianism Different?
- in 1993 the group purchased 476 acres of land to create a "Egyptian based recreational village" called Tama-re
- Cosmology
- The Three Pillars: Right Knowledge, Right Wisdom and Right Overstanding
- Seven Interpenetrating Planes: The material plane; the plane of force; the spiritual plane; the mental plane; the plane of divine truth; the plane of divine reality; and the "bosom of El Eloh" (each have 7 subplanes, and those subplanes have 7 subplanes of their own)
- Meant to break out of the confines of the generic three dimensions and seek union with "The All"
Nuwaubianism is different than the other religions because it is younger than all of the religions we have previously studied in class, it is also officially clssified as a cult. Compared to the other religions we studied in class, Nuwaubianism is the only one that preaches the leadership of extra terrestrial beings.
