About Modern Mystery School & Modern Mystery School Boston
The Modern Mystery School isn’t just an incredibly cool name. It’s a global community of leaders, changemakers, and visionaries who are dedicated to doing the spiritual work required to create a strong foundation for world peace.
I co-run Modern Mystery School Boston in Waltham, MA along with my brother, Jordan Bain.
My brother Jordan and I when we were young - and us today.
What is the Modern Mystery School about?
The school administers the Lineage of King Salomon, a comprehensive and timeless path of ancient mystery teachings, initiations, hermetics, esoterics, metaphysics, and kabbalah that supports mastering the art and science of transformation - both for personal empowerment and for service to others. This Lineage was handed down from teacher to student for the past 3000 years and was only open by invitation. Founder Gudni Gudnason opened the doors of the Modern Mystery School to the broader public in 1997 and the school has since expanded to open headquarters in Toronto and Tokyo with regional centers in Brazil, Europe, South Africa, and the United States and initiates in over 50 countries. Modern Mystery School Boston is a teaching and healing center in Waltham, MA dedicated to offering Lineage activations, healings, and classes to spiritual seekers and changemakers throughout New England and beyond.
Why is Lineage So Important?
The mystery teachings of the Lineage of King Salomon empower us to learn through the heart and soul, rather than the mind, and they cannot be conveyed through books, videos, podcasts, or apps (even though those are neat and convenient, right?!). They are based on giving you permanent energetic keys that open doors within you to experience true spiritual awakening and empowerment, and these can only be delivered in person.
All true spiritual paths will require leaps of faith into the unknown at some point, but within the Lineage of King Salomon, you can at least see who has walked before you, where the path leads, and what fruits have come from those journeys. The keys that you receive are intended to ground deep spiritual experience and progress into your daily life - not “peak experiences” that you return home from wondering how to integrate them.
The initiations in this path unfold in people’s lives over months and years as the energetic shifts act like changing the rudder on a boat. Changing your spiritual operating system may or may not change things overnight, but it will change the course of what is possible to you when you apply these teachings to your life consistently over time. None of this will “fix” you because you are not broken. You are an eternal being remembering the wholeness and light of who you are. Lineage teachings will always push you to grow bigger than the challenges you face, experience things for yourself, take responsibility for your choices, step into your power, and reclaim your self-worth.
Some of the many incredible master teachers and spiritual mentors I’ve had the privilege of working with!
Modern Mystery School International Leadership
The school’s impact has grown immensely since 1997 as more and more people look beyond business as usual and choose to seek spiritual study as a key aspect of personal empowerment and social change. Founder Gudni has trained two additional Lineage holders, Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon and Sovereign Ipsissimus Hideto Nakagome, to create a new form of leadership called the Third Order (Ipsissimus is an esoteric title). The Third Order guides the school globally together with the Governing Ipsissima and Ipsissimus Council and the Council of 12 Women.
Gudni Gudnason
Founder Gudni Gudnason was born in Iceland and grew up steeped in the mysteries. His teaching career spans over 40 years of Kabbalah, Alchemy, Metaphysics, Quantum Physics, and much more. Much like the great sages and wisdom teachers of other traditions, he often teaches through story, allegory, and parable to get to the ineffable core of who we are as eternal beings having a physical experience.
Dave Lanyon
Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon came to the this work from decades of teaching martial arts and personal development and was initiated into the Lineage in 2004. He is a master teacher of Hermetics, a true warrior of light, and channels his experience to translate esoteric spiritual concepts into practical ways for people to rise above their negative egos and improve their lives.
Hideto Nakagome
Sovereign Ipsissiumus Hideto Nakagome was initiated into the Lineage in 2000 and has since become a master healer and the leader of the Ensofic Ray Institute. He holds the deep wisdom and humor that comes from a lifetime of esoteric study and practice across Buddhism, Shamanism, and the Lineage of King Salomon.
