The mission of the Modern Mystery School is to create World Peace by empowering individuals to find peace within themselves.
The Modern Mystery School is in service to all of humanity to assist in the ascension of the human consciousness on this planet. This is a mission the school and its lineage holders have been working towards for over 3,000 years. The purpose of the school is to help people achieve their highest spiritual potential in this physical life, while living a life of joy, fulfillment and love.
The school provides people with the tools and teachings they need in order to empower themselves and realize that they are their own greatest teacher, so that they may remember who they truly are.
Founder
Gudni Gudnason
Gudni Gudnason, often referred to as “Founder Gudni,” is a master metaphorical teacher who imparts metaphysical and esoteric principles using analogy, allegory, and parable. Through humour, theatrics and the sharing of fantastical tales, he shares his hidden wisdom, knowledge, methods, and tools. He uses these methods to allow students to explore their own insights and test the clarity of their discernment. The student is meant to discern a deeper meaning in the stories to question their own preconceived notions and beliefs. He reminds all students that they are their own best teacher, but only through discernment and considering alternative perspectives can one come to know what they truly know. If a tool doesn’t resonate with a student, he guides them to another, encouraging them to dive deeper into the mysteries by delving into mythos and potentialities held in our self mastery and understanding.
Sovereign Ipsissimus
Dave Lanyon
Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon has been the driving force behind the explosive growth of The Mystery School since he joined the Lineage in 2004 and we have seen the school expand from 12 countries to 55 with his efforts.
As a lineage holder for the Modern Mystery School in the tradition of King Salomon, he specializes in presenting Hermetic and Esoteric wisdom in practical and actionable ways. Over his decades-long journey on the path of initiation, he has applied his experience in corporate business to the organization to exponentially expand it into over 50 countries in just a few years at the helm. He has also received the highest initiation in this tradition, that of Sovereign Ipsissimus, granting him the keys to the lineage and anchoring the vision and mission of the Mystery School for its tens of thousands of members worldwide.
Sovereign Ipsissimus
Hideto Nakagome
Sovereign Ipsissimus Hideto REI Nakagome has been instrumental behind the growth of the Mystery School since he joined the lineage in the year 2000. He immediately saw the importance of the mission of World Peace and wanted to support this undertaking right away. He has worked passionately ever since.
He comes from a pure Japanese Bushi or Samurai family, and accesses that amazing power in his work within the Modern Mystery School. When teaching he does so with humor and fun so that the students relax and enjoy their study.
