Chapter 1 - Clarity and the Sacred Focus: The Main Thing
From master Hermetic teacher and King Salomon lineage holder, Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon.
“Know Thyself” is the central precept of the mystery school tradition. These schools cultivated a sophisticated understanding of human behavior and the development of consciousness. Carl Jung drew heavily from Hermeticism. In addition, students of the lineage of King Salomon will recognize many of its key teachings reflected throughout his work.
The mystery school tradition utilizes two primary tools. The first is adding healing light to the energy structure to clear old patterns and ignite latent potential. The second is to replace these maladaptive patterns with incorruptible teachings—teachings that originate from an enlightened mind and have consistently been shown within the tradition to produce constructive results.
These teachings are called keys because they open doors to new understandings that produce better ways of being.
One of the Hermetic keys which Dave Lanyon has distilled into a precept is: "Belief should be the conclusion of discernment, not the premise of it."
Put into practice, this idea is central to studying in a mystery school, which is to approach the ideas with an open mind while testing them out before adopting them as a belief.
Therefore, in this series we will:
1. read a selection of work devoted to a specific topic.
2. find and highlight the keys (there are many!) and compare our results
3. we will test the concepts out in our own lives
