What does it really mean to walk the path of Light? Why do Mystery Schools exist—and how can their teachings support true empowerment, healing, and service in the modern world?

In two newly released episodes of the ongoing Modern Mystery School docu-series, Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon—the global leader of the lineage—invites us into a deeper conversation about the heart of this spiritual tradition.

These episodes offer something rare: a transparent, unscripted look into the mission, structure, and purpose of the Modern Mystery School from someone who has devoted his life to stewarding its Light in the world.

A look inside the Episodes

In this two-part series of episodes, Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave opens up about the true purpose of a Mystery School—not as a place of secrecy, but as a tradition of sacred knowledge meant to empower the individual and uplift humanity. 

He shares what it means to hold the title of Ipsissimus, and offers personal insight into the culture, structure, and responsibilities of the Modern Mystery School. Through the lens of Hermetic wisdom, the conversation explores the real-world application of ancient teachings, and how the School supports individuals in remembering who they are—and why they’re here.

Topics explored include:

• The true meaning of Ipsissimus

• The spiritual mission of the Modern Mystery School

• How Hermetic principles can change your everyday life

• What it means to live in service to Light
