I am so sorry that once again personal issues are being brought before the Mystery School Initiates. I consider this divorce a private matter and I have chosen not to answer these kinds of allegations and attempted to avoid mudslinging! I choose to answer back this time because many on both sides have asked me to comment on these statements that seem to be directed at me and my new organization in the letter called Why Choose a Mystery School or Invalid Initiations.
In my opinion, these are emotional "divorce issues". I believe it would be more appropriate if they were dealt with PRIVATELY through divorce counseling and not through a public email and internet debate! I am not about creating "competition" and negativity. I don't think this issue is an appropriate one to be giving our time and energy. We have so many positive things to focus on! I AM about doing the work - and getting on with the rest of my life. An additional reason is that I don't believe I need to defend my lineage and authority. Either people resonate with my teachings or they don't.
The question, "Why Choose a Mystery School" is a deep one. The answer I've heard from the many VALID mystery school leaders I’ve connected with over the past 18 months is this: "We choose to learn with mystery schools for the Alchemy they offer - to create a change in vibration and frequency. From the Alchemy comes transformation and transmutation." It goes without saying that we also choose a mystery school for Initiation and training in the work of Teacher, Healer, as well as Ceremonial training. Most of the leaders of mystery schools I have been in contact with have learned from many traditions. These leaders do not advertise their teaching as "true lineage" or claim to be the only one! I've noticed that the true leaders of these schools do not talk much about this issue. They don't need to do that.
Thank you for the questions you ask others to consider. There are a few questions I suggest people ask themselves; "What do you think of a spiritual teacher or leader who claims to BE THE ONLY ONE?" Personally, that scares me! I don't believe that any one of us has the whole truth, the only truth, or the real truth! I believe that each of us has a part of the truth. Other questions to ask yourself might be; "What part of a Spiritual Teacher that is out of integrity is acceptable to you? Is it SAFE for you to work with a Teacher who is out of integrity? What are your values concerning Integrity, and where is the line you draw about the level of integrity before it is unacceptable or unsafe for you to learn from that Teacher?"
It is important to define discernment versus judgment. Dr. Bob taught me that judgment includes shame and blame. Discernment involves making a rational decision based on the facts and on our personal value system! I strongly suggest people use their best discernment in deciding who they choose as a spiritual teacher.
This kind of self evaluation and these questions are a part of the process of discerning the correct path! Thank you for the wisdom teaching you offer in answering this way!
I don't know what issue has triggered this letter. Perhaps it is that we have just successfully completed a NEO Adept program in Japan, Guide Training Programs in Japan and the US, an Adam Kadmon Teachers program in Japan and the US, and a Teacher's Program here in the US? Perhaps it is coincidental that he mentions these very programs in the letter you have attached? I would think that a true servant of God, one who is a being of Light, would be overjoyed by anyone going forward with the work, in spite of difficult circumstances, and succeeding! What do you think?
These issues have been (supposedly) resolved legally. In OUR divorce agreement it is stated that neither of us will comment on the other's classes or business in any manner. It also states that both of us are entitled to ALL materials, programs, marketing, etc. created before 12/2005. In other words; both of us have full legal authority to teach all these programs. The LEGAL agreement also states that students may move freely between our programs.
I would like to quote Gudni's letter in order to make a correction to some of his statements. "...Rocky Mountain Mystery School and its affiliated companies have come from me, I was the one who brought all this from Europe to America. I grew this organization and I made the opportunity happen that helped you come to light."
I think it is inappropriate as well as egotistical for either Gudni or me to claim credit for the growth of the mystery school. The fact is that the mystery school was manifested from the tremendous support given by the Guides and Teachers! Through their efforts and work, through their faith and willingness to refer to Teachers Program, Ritual Master Program, Gifts of the Spirit Intensive or Channeling School the mystery school grew quickly. Through their faith in this work and their light it has evolved into a very wide group of Initiates in many countries!
There are many Initiatory Traditions and I have always held one in my own right. - the tradition of North America! I have held this lineage and full authority since June 1998 when the leadership of the North American Mystery School was handed down to Gudni and me, as a couple.
I have a document which was prepared and signed by Gudni in July 2002 shortly after my Initiation as a FULL (Third Step) 3rd Degree Ritual Master. This document states that I am able to lead the mystery school alone. However, I have never needed Gudni's lineage or authority to do the work. My lineage and authority stem from my many years of apprenticeship with my Native American Teacher Dr. Bob. I DO have the proper credentials to Initiate Guides or 3rd Degree Initiates; Teachers or 2nd Degree Initiates; Adepts (NEO Adepts) or 1st Degree Initiates, as well as full authority to teach and hand down the traditional mystery school programs we have offered through the years.
Once Initiation is given, only God and the Hierarchy of Light can remove it. The circumstances where Initiate Status is removed include immorality, lack of ethics and integrity, attacking the work of another Initiate, or intentionally debasing another Initiate.
As of 2006, I am validated by the North American Elders to lead a mystery school in my own right. Our Initiations, my work and teaching focuses on my knowledge, lineage, and the way things are done within my tradition. As a result I am changing many things! I have learned from many teachers over the years. Over the past 18 months, I have sought the advice of several VALID higher initiates and mystery school leaders as we establish our curriculum and initiatory guidelines. Many changes have been made in the way we conduct traditional programs such as Kabbalah. I feel this is very exciting and I am in JOY as we progress with this work!
At this time, my personal belief is that the old paradigm of the mystery schools has been changed. This argument over lineage and authority is pointless! I know from the depths of my being that the traditional mystery schools have been re-established with new energy through the Archangelic Rays. I KNOW that the Ancient Traditions of many lands are going to be reestablished as new Mystery School leaders step forward to do the work and take it further than it has gone before. I am embracing this change with JOY. I KNOW beyond question that this new beginning is true, right, and the beginning of the age of Light. You must also KNOW that for yourself, - so I'd ask you to meditate and pray. Please, use your discernment to decide what you believe about this matter.
If this means I am a new-ager - then I am proud of it! I have observed that this focus on Lineage and Authority seems to create an elitist attitude among many Initiates. Perhaps this is ego centered? This is most certainly not what the gift of lineage and authority are about! These initiatory traditions are about creating healers, leaders, and great teachers. They are not focused on creating Spiritually Significant elitists! I think being a new-ager would be preferable to manifesting such an attitude! What do you think?
If my lineage, knowledge, and authority in the North American tradition was not sufficient to co-found the mystery school as well as serve as a leader of it for 10 years, then I ask, what is sufficient? This mystery school was not named the Golden Dawn Mystery School, the Icelandic Viking Mystery School, or the Celtic Shamanic Magick Mystery School. It wasn't named the Tibetan Mystery School or the Shaolin Martial Arts Mystery School. It was named Rocky Mountain Mystery School for MY lineage and tradition! I feel that fact settles the question. What do you think?
As a part of the financial settlement agreed upon in our divorce, Triolite Foundation, Inc. sold the (DBA) business name Rocky Mountain Mystery School to Gudni for the use of his various business partners. If the financial obligation is fulfilled Triolite Foundation, Inc. will discontinue the use of the DBA Rocky Mountain Mystery School for the metaphysical programs Triolite produces. If the agreement is not fulfilled, Triolite will continue to use the DBA. In either case, we will continue to use the domain www.7thmysteryschool.com.
The NAME of a business can be sold. Lineage and Authority cannot be sold, only earned!
These arguments need to end here. My point of view is that both Gudni and I are incredible light workers and channels in our own right. It is my hope and prayer that we will both continue bringing light to the world as we have for over 10 years. It is my hope and prayer that the work will unite us, and allow everyone of us to do the work as we choose without separation into "us against them" or 'we are right and they are wrong" factions.
We are all on the same side, and on the same team. That is the side of Light and God's team. What does your discernment say about anyone who would tell you otherwise?
This is the last time I will invest any time or energy in dealing with this conflict. I don't expect this letter to stop the emails, website posting, or comments. I do expect this to be my final answer for the Initiates working in affiliation with Spiritual Mystery Schools. We all have better things to do! None of us need this distraction when we all have so much light work to do.
Let both sides in this disagreement move beyond it - onward into the work of light!!!
Much Love
