“Knowledge is power” (Francis Bacon)
Mystery schools then as now use the best possible medium to disseminate teaching.
Long ago, teachers of mystery schools taught secret knowledge only from mouth to ear. The writing of writings took several years. Reproducing books was very time consuming and costly. Through Gutenberg’s invention of book printing, the Guardians of Timeless Wisdom were able to make this teaching accessible to more people. In our time there is the Internet. Thus we can grant you and numerous other people worldwide access to the Timeless Wisdom. Timeless wisdom is imperishable and endures for all eternity. However, the medium of transmission is adapted to modern possibilities by the guardians of teaching. Never before has it been so easy and in such a short time possible to receive these grandiose teachings. But, of course, it is your decision whether you, like thousands of other people, would like to seize this opportunity.
