The Ancient Mystery Schools
Years ago my dear friend Dixie literally dragged me off to Santa Fe for a 6 month stint at attending Mystery School. I had never heard of it before. This was a pivotal time in my life and for whatever reason she came in and diverted the sorrow/depression/despair that we all sometimes go through when our lives are not working out the way we thought that they should……..she picked me up and said we are going to Santa Fe and we are going to Mystery School.

Energetically I was re-wired. These things re-wire over years and the type of change it brought about in me continue to this day.
When I opened my email bag this morning, there was this letter from Alan Seale (one of my very favorite authors) and instantly I was drawn back through time to all of the ancient mystery schools I have attended down through my souls journey. I’m sharing what he said today:
“Among the many teachings of the ancient mystery schools are a set of principles known today as the Hermetic Laws, named after the legendary Egyptian philosopher and teacher Hermes Trismegistus. One of those principles, The Law of Polarity, tells us that everything exists on a spectrum, that an infinite number of points exist between the opposite ends of that spectrum, and that nothing can exist without its opposite. Darkness is a degree of less light, fear is a degree of less courage, sadness is a degree of less joy. Nothing is purely black and white.
The Law of Polarity shows us that when we have a decision to make, although there may appear to be only two choices, there are actually many possibilities. There are always more options if we look deeply enough or look at our situation from multiple perspectives. Since everything exists on a spectrum, you could say that opposites exist within each other. This means that within every problem lies its solution, within every challenge lies its resolution. The Law of Polarity helps us transcend limiting labels of success or failure, good or bad, right or wrong, and step into a higher level of discernment about what serves and what does not.
In practical terms, the Law of Polarity tells us that all of the possibilities and wisdom we need at any moment are to be found somewhere within us or around us. Challenges cannot exist without the opportunities for resolution also being somewhere present. There is a saying: “Never waste a good crisis.” The Law of Polarity invites us to explore life situations on all levels and from every possible perspective. It invites us to realize that great riches lie within every life experience. It is up to us to recognize the riches and make the most of them. “
