Sons Ahman (Aumen) Israel is a small isolated New Age Mormon religious colony living in a sparcely populated part of the high mesa deserts of northern Arizona near the Utah border called the Cane Beds (near the famous fundamentalist Mormon community at Colorado City). Its leader, “Davied Israel” (born Gilbert Clerk, from San Antonio Texas), claims a visit by “The Ancient of Days” (AHMAN) and His Son “Jesus Christ” (SON AHMAN) in an experience that closely parallels that claimed by the late Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith. He further claims that an angel called “Nephi” delivered him the SEALED PORTION OF THE BOOK OF MORMON (called the “Oracles of Mohonri”) which is highly Gnostic, Kabbalistic and occultic in content. The “Oracles” praise Joseph Smith and Mormonism, clearly establishing (in the author’s mind) a connection between the two. Details of some of “Sons Ahman Israel’s” beliefs, which includes sexual communism and the practice of the occult arts, may be found on “The Latter Day Saint Movement Religious Page” of David Bowie. Their use of “The Book of the Law” by Aleister Crowley, a notorious satanist and sexual pervert, establishes the group as completely anti-Christian.

The Origin of the Name "Sons Ahman Israel"

The term "Sons Ahman Israel" is derived from an account by Latter Day Saint apostle Orson Pratt in which he reports the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith declaring that the proper name for God the Father in the "pure language" is AHMAN; the name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, is given as SON AHMAN and the name of men as SONS AHMAN (Unpublished Revelations of the Prophets and Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, pub. Fred C. Collier, 1979, Salt Lake City, Section 16, pp.61-62; or JD 2:342). This account is dated to 1833. In a purported revelation given through Joseph Smith in 1832 the Redeemer of mankind is blasphemously identified as “Son Ahman” (LDS D&C 77:20/RLDS 78:4d; see also 96:17/92:3f), one of many names and titles ascribed to Christ.

The term "Ahman" is, it is claimed, derived from the word "Amen" and literally means "truth". Thus the passage, "He who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth..." (Isa.65:16) refers to the "God of Ahman", or more simply, Ahman. The Lord, in speaking to the angel of the Laodiceans, says: "These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God" (Rev.3:14). Thus, according to the group, Christ is also called "the Ahman", for He is the truth (John 14:6). "For the promises of God in Him are yea , and in Him Amen , unto the glory of God by us" (2 Cor.1:20). Ahman, then, it is claimed by SAI ("Sons Ahman Israel"), is one of the lesser known and used titles of Divinity and literally means "truth" and is not itself a proper name.

The REAL TRUTH of the matter is that “Ahman” is a demon masquerading as Jesus Christ and was the inspiration behind not only “Sons Ahman Israel” but much of Mormonism, which is probably one of the reasons the cult changed its named from "Sons AHMAN Israel" to "Sons AUMEN Israel" once this piece of information started to circulate. Charles E. Bennett in his book, “Dark Angels: The War for Your Soul” (LDM Consultants Inc., Box 280222, Colorado 80228, USA), an expert in demonic activities, states regarding a satanist who was possessed by 300 demons, many of whom were identified by name, that “AHMAN (is) an Egyptian who was in the (satanic) hierarchy.. (a) low spirit who had come down through the generations through situations, curses, familiar spirits, and spells” (p.40-41).

Interestingly, SAI is heavily influenced by the Egyptian mysteries and sometimes names its followers after Egyptian gods and goddesses. The Bible is accepted in name only. Where Bible treachings, such as the Virgin Birth, conflict with SAI teachings, the Bible teachings are rejected.

Claiming to be the final and full unfolding of Mormonism, SAI not only reveals its total basis as being occultic but Mormonism's too.

The group possesses great occultic powers and is able to induce visions and other spiritual manifestations in those who are not properly founded in the Lord Jesus Christ.
