The Ausar Auset Society is a Pan-African religious organization founded in 1973 by Ra Un Nefer Amen.[1]
It is based in Brooklyn, New York, with chapters in several major cities in the United States as well as international chapters in London, England, Toronto, Canada, and Bermuda. The organization provides afrocentric-based spiritual training to the African American community in particular and to the African diaspora in general.

Organizational structure
Each Ausar Auset Society branch or study group replicates the society's structure established by Ra Un Nefer Amen in New York and falls under the leadership of either a Paramount King, Paramount Queen Mother, or Chief(tess) who has his/her own hierarchy of officials and autonomy over their respective region.
Ausarian religion
Central to the Ausarian religious system are the 11 Divine Laws. An important theme of this book is that the essence of these 11 Laws must be programmed into the Spirit of the individual through specific meditation techniques. Impressing these Laws upon the spirit will ensure that an individual's identity is with his or her true Self when he or she is confronted with a challenging situation rather than with the false self-image that gives control over to the emotions.
A proper understanding for the cultivation of the 11 Laws consists of the following:[2]
- All activities in the universe are carried out by energy.
- The Spirit is the energy component of God and all beings.
- Energy everywhere in the universe is governed by laws, as proven by science.
- As an entity of energy, Man’s Spirit which is in charge of the realization of all events in her/his life—physiological and social—is controlled by laws.
- God’s and Man’s Spirit carries out all activities in the world through 11 modalities (faculties) of energy.
- Each of the 11 modalities of energy is regulated by its own law.
- These laws, which are stored in the Divine division of Man’s Spirit, must be transferred into the mind to guide the Life-Force.
- As a result, success, health, and the treasures of a spiritual life can be acquired.
Another important concept that is integral to the teachings of Ausar Auset Society is that Man's entire Being is a composite made up of the Self and the Not-Self, as both are required in order to exist in the physical world. An individual's true identity, however, is the Self which consists of Consciousness and Will (Not-Self consists of Energy and Matter) as there is no energy or matter in Man's true Self. Since Spirit is considered Not-Self, Man's true Self cannot be Spirit. Also, every thought, emotion and sensation belongs to the Not-Self and generally represents a manifestation of the Animal Spirit in Man. The Animal Spirit, along with the Mental Spirit and the Divine Spirit, represents a triune view of Man's Being. The Divine Spirit, which is pre-programmed with Divine Law, corresponds to Man's true Self while both the Mental Spirit (Man's intellect and reasoning ability) and the Animal Spirit correspond to the Not-Self. Therefore, failure to control one's emotions, for example, represents a submission to the animal part of Being as well as a waste of one's Life Force.
