Sons Aumen Israel believe they are a ressurrection of ancient Essene Christianity. They believe that Yeshu (which is what they call Jesus of Nazareth) and Miryai (Mary Magdalene) are co-messiahs, and that Yeshu and Miryai were married and had sexual relations with each other. Their thought has been heavily influenced by Gnosticism (especially [Valentinian Gnosticism]?), Mandaeanism and Manichaeism.
They practice strict veganism?, and several of them live on a commune in Arizona.
