What is a Mystery School?

[Aion]

Then the question of trust in others is the fear of their ability to sway or potentially interfere with your free will maybe?

I have thought about that and I think you could consider it to be a type of 'mystery tradition' but not necessarily a mystery school. That being the practice itself, but it could be included in a mystery school curriculum or could be shaped in a way that could be oriented like a mystery school.

This is actually similar to the approach I have taken in my studies with Reiki. I think there is a certain power in the mystery and mysticism within the process of initiation which is analogous to unveiling a subject as though excavated.

The truth is that Reiki is a system of contacting and making use of intelligent energy and holds the potential for making contact with intelligent infinity. It's simplicity is its virtue, as well as what makes it flexible even to the point of complexity.

I believe that Reiki has mostly been explored through its healing aspects but I believe that it is like Chi Gung/Qi Gong in that it has application across one's whole life.
