The Flower of Light Mystery School : What are the Mystery Schools

The name Mystery School is in itself a term which displays a hidden meaning. This is not unusual as all the teachings of the Mystery Schools were built up of layer upon layer of symbolism and occult (the term occult meaning Hidden) secrets. The Mystery Schools are a timeless, ageless, omni dimensional philosophical teaching, a scientific study of the Mind. The Hermetic Axiom “The All is in All and All is in The All” or “God is in All and All is in God” describes the basis of the Mystery School teachings that the Universe is Mental in nature, all is Mind and all is created through the Power of Thought (Thoth). The teachings were handed down throughout the ages and civilizations through oral tradition from Master to Initiate very little of the teachings were ever written down. The information was left encoded in symbolic representations, Sacred Geometric design of Temples, Pyramids and Sacred Sites, myth and mythology, this knowledge reflected in the building of the Ancient and Sacred Sites made them perfect places for learning, initiation and astronomical observation. The teachings of the Mystery Schools are a scientific study into the Laws and Principals of the Universal Mind.

The Universal Mind is also known as God or Spirit, and we, as human beings, are a holographic image of that Universal Mind, the microcosm and the macrocosm, “As Above, So Below, As Below, So Above” As the seed is the tree enfolded, so is the universe God/Spirit unfolded. The Mystery Schools teach of the Transmutation of the consciousness of mortal man to his natural enlightened immortal self. The Mystery School teachings are a navigational tool for all souls throughout all space and time to find their way Home. The ancient Alchemists who were also students of the Mystery Schools, studied this Transmutation of one form to another and displayed this principal through their experiments of turning lead into gold. That was only an outward display, another form of symbolic representation, the true meaning behind the experiments of the Alchemists was the Transmutation of Consciousness from unenlightened to enlightened Man (Ascension). Much of the ancient information of the Mystery Schools are now being confirmed by recent scientific finding, especially in the field of Quantum Physics.

The Pantheon of Gods, which included Thoth, Isis, Osiris, Ptah, Ra, Su, Geb, Set were said to have come to Egypt in Zep Tepi or The First Time. Thoth was known as the God of Wisdom, Magic, Alchemy and The Arts in Ancient Egypt and was also known as Hermes Trismegistus “Hermes the Thrice Great” The Winged Messenger of the Gods, in Ancient Greece. It is said of Thoth that he brought humanity into manifestation through “Language and Maths” The time before Zep Tepi is know in mythology as Atlantis and before that Lemuria, the time before the Great Flood. This is where the Gods of Egypt are said to have come from. Creationist stories encoded in myth and mythology from all over the Ancient World speak of the Great Flood and the Gods that arrived after to teach the Wisdom of the Ages to humanity. Its is said that these Gods move from reality to reality creating the programs for souls to experience. The term Zep, Zipper refers to a closing and opening, a gateway, worm holes in time and space, zero point, the ending of one and beginning of another, a Golden Age It is said that the Gods moved through this Zero Point, Zep Tepi where matter and anti matter merge, and there they create New Realities In our measurement of time Zep Tepi refers to a time about 13,000 years ago approx. 10,500B.C The Ancient Scientists/Priests of the Mystery Schools were measuring an astronomical cycle know to us today as the Precession of the Equinoxes or The Great Year. The term Zep Tepi and the time frame of 13,000 years measures half a processional cycle, a full cycle being 26,000 years approx.. The Ancient Scientist/Astrologer/Priests of the Mystery Schools measured the rise and fall of the Consciousness of humanity against the backdrop of this processional cycle. The Giza Plateau with its Sphinx and Pyramids serves as a huge astronomical observatory to measure the 26,000 year long processional cycle. All the ancient stone structures were used as astronomical observatories and symbolic representations of the raising of consciousness up through the creative spiral of soul evolution.

The Ancient Mystery School Priests considered the Nile to be a terrestrial representation of the celestial Milky Way, they also compared the Nile to the Spine or Backbone of the Human body. Having full knowledge of the Chakra system of the body, they built their temples along the Nile, stretching from Aswan to Saquara as representations of the Chakras of the body running up along the Spine from base to crown. The Mystery School Initiates raised their consciousness from their base Chakra, studying and being initiated in the corresponding temples along the Nile. The Chakras are gateways that open up our energy flow with The Cosmos and our Body of Light. Each Chakra has energies that relate to our growth, these energies can be expressed either negatively or positively, shut down from trauma or open due to peace and tranquility. The journey of the Mystery School Initiate is the journey of moving beyond the illusion of density and becoming the Whole. As the Initiate moves through and activates the Chakras, the Chakra spins and becomes a radiant ball of light which allows the Kundalini to flow through us fully, so we are fully in our life energy, unlimited, our Body of Light and being the Creators that we are. In this way the Initiate raised their Consciousness through the various Chakras and Kundalini energy flowed and connected base to crown, from unenlightened to enlightened, from mortal to immortal. The Mystery Schools are a body of teaching revealing the Secrets of the Universe and the Self and when properly understood leads us to ever increasing Freedom and Joy, expansion of Awareness and the knowledge of our
Immortal, Omni dimensional, Eternal Cosmic Self.

The Ancient Pyramid and Temple builders erected their structures across not only Egypt but the whole Planet, these Ancient Structures can be seen to reflect Star Constellations on the ground. The three Pyramids at Giza reflect the three stars in Orion's Belt and the Orion Stars orientation to the Milky Way was as to the three Pyramids orientation to the Nile but only having a perfect match in the time frame dating 13,000 years ago approx. 10,500 B.C or Zep Tepi. There exists an ancient body of writing found in the Egyptian city of Alexandria in the early Christian era in which it talks about the Sky/Ground connection linked in numerous ways to the issue of the resurrection and immortality of the soul (see Graham Hancock & Robert Bauval-The Message of the Sphinx) These writings the “HermeticTexts” were believed to have been the work of the ancient Egyptian wisdom God know as Thoth, who in one passage makes the following remarks to his disciple Asclepius “Do you not know, Asclepius, that Egypt is an image of Heaven? In Egypt all the operations of the powers which rule and work in Heaven have been transferred down to Earth below?” In the Hermetic view, the purpose of harnessing these Powers was to facilitate the Initiates quest for Immortality.
