Initiation Process – What is a Mystery School?

Mystery School - aems 5

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE HIDDEN TEACHINGS OF THE ANCIENT MYSTERY SCHOOL TRADITIONS

For thousands of years, initiates have examined the meanings of sacred texts said to hold the secret path toward ascension. But how can we decipher these often enigmatic phrases and symbols?

Paracelsus, Jacob Boehme, Michael Maier are but a few of the many medieval alchemist whom have operated for countless hours in laboratories eagerly working to uncover and perfect the hidden secrets of the Philosopher’s stone. Before he would initiate a neophyte into the mysteries of his teachings, the Greek philosopher Pythagoras would subject the candidate to various ordeals which were designed to strengthen the initiate’s character. In ancient times, initiates in training would wait over 20 years preparing themselves before being accepted into the mystery schools. Why would these adept initiates endure extreme tasks and be required to condition themselves for such a lengthy periods of time? Why was such self-discipline and determination and even secrecy a prerequisite for joining ancient egypt mystery schools in ancient times?

WHAT IS A MYSTERY SCHOOL?

In order to understand the relevance and context of the ancient mystery schools and their teachings, we must revisit these mystical traditions and not exclusively through the lense of oral tradition and ritual lineage preserved by modern mystery schools of today, but also by going directly to the source and examining the ancient structures that housed such secrets.

“The term Mystery School comes directly from Ancient Egypt, and refers not to a specific time or place in Ancient Egypt, but rather timeless secret teachings, passed down through word of mouth, through priests and priestesses, initiates and royalty, and encrypted into the temple themselves, concealed and enshrined behind a veil of hieroglyph and symbolism.”

– John Anthony West

The temples are considered to be “living” by those initiated in the sacred science. These didactic structures not only the physical school but part of the ancient wisdom teachings themselves. Each temple’s harmonic construction transmits its own unique frequency while every aspect of the reliefs, from gesture to wardrobe, communicate complex meanings hidden in symbolism and allegory. The occult knowlege of the Egyptians was considered secret. These secrets were imparted by “houses of life” sometimes called “mystery schools”

What is not directly visible in the material world around us, the mind can intuitively see through symbol. For it was the initiates adept ability to master one’s internal in order to overcome the external as a perquisite to aid in the development of an awareness that goes far beyond just a simple object and concept that would be obvious only to the eye of the initiate, but rather provides the initiated with the proper context as well as faculty to fully absorb the plethora of qualities and tendencies that are only understood through a variety of the senses.

Pythagorean Mystery SchoolIn esoteric circles, it is known that Pythagoras and Plato spent many years in preparation in order to enter the temples before further perpetuating these teachings to their esoteric students. Students of the Pythagorean mystery school, known for its study of relationships, had to spend many years without speaking. Could this have been a teaching strategy to develop a sharper sense of not only outer but also inner faculty for listening along with a developing a deeper, more profound way of understanding what is to be received from the source? One can imagine the level of introspection that may manifest from such an arduous training.

A common thread among some of the greatest minds in history including Aristotle, Corpernicus, Kepler, Issac Newton, Napoleon, Da Vinci is that they have all studied from these teachings. It is even thought by some historians that Jesus was a student of the Ancient Egypt Mystery Schools, and that it wasn’t until he came back from Kmt (Egypt), that he could perform miracles.

One’s level of understanding of ancient teachings will largely depend on the adept initiate’s own experience with the transmision of esoteric knowledge or ones degree of initiation. While teachings are traditionaly bestowed upon individuals through word of mouth and ritual, we must also consider what is naturally being conveyed. We must consider what is conveyed on the grounds of sacred landscapes and the ancient structures that served as storehouses for the secret teachings of all ages. We can observe and study concepts far beyond our current field of vision by going deep within.
