The "Modern Mystery School"
The Modern Mystery School is a global community of leaders, changemakers, and visionaries dedicated to creating world peace. The school administers the lineage of King Solomon, a comprehensive and timeless path of ancient mystery teachings and initiations to master the art and science of transformation—for personal empowerment and service to others. This lineage has been passed from teacher to student and has been invitation-only for the past 3,000 years. Founder Gudni Gudnason opened the doors of the Modern Mystery School to a wider public in 1997, and the school has since expanded, establishing headquarters in Toronto and Tokyo with regional centers in Brazil, Europe, Israel, South Africa, and the United States, and welcoming initiates in over 50 countries.
THE LINE OF KING SOLOMON THE WISE
King Solomon is a central figure in the Book of Kings in the Bible. He was a radical thinker of his time who established the first worldwide gathering of spiritual guides and healers and introduced a universal system of enlightenment for all people regardless of race, gender, or belief system. This sowed the seeds for the astonishing potential we see in the world around us today. Initiates of this system, including Leonardo da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Carl Jung, and David Bowie, have worked in ways large and small, in public and behind the scenes, to ensure that humanity can flourish and achieve world peace.

LOCAL COMMUNITY OF CERTIFIED LIGHT CENTERS
The MMS trains and certifies a worldwide network of independent "Centers of Light," where the lineage receives new members through initiation. These centers offer a variety of spiritual courses, healing sessions, and activations. The international headquarters is located in Tokyo, where founder and lineage holder Gudni Gudnason lives with his wife, Eiko. Toronto is the North American headquarters of the MMS, and it is here that the region's healers, guides, and ritual masters receive annual certification and advanced training.
Why is the line so important?
Since the beginning of our history, there have been rites and paths to bring the soul to the next level of its existence. Now the time has come for you, too, to receive the greatest teachings and orally transmitted techniques of the ancient mystery school traditions to permanently connect you with your true purpose and greatest potential.
The mysterious teachings of the lineage of King Solomon empower us to learn with heart and soul, not with the mind, and they can't be taught through books, videos, podcasts, or apps (although those are neat and convenient, right?!). They're based on giving you permanent energetic keys that open doors within you to experience your own truth, and these can only be delivered in person. All true spiritual paths will at some point require leaps of faith into the unknown, but within the lineage of King Solomon, you can at least see who has gone before you, where the path leads, and know what fruits these journeys have borne. The keys you receive are profound spiritual experiences and progress in your daily life—not "peak experiences" from which you return home wondering how to integrate them into your life. The teachings of the lineage will always push you to experience your own truth, take responsibility for your choices, step into your power, and reclaim your self-worth.
An international organization with a mission of peace and enlightenment.
The Modern Mystery School (MMS) offers advanced spiritual teachings and metaphysical instruction through the tools and techniques passed down from teacher to student by an oral tradition since ancient times. This organization has a documented unbroken lineage of over 3,000 years, dating back to King Solomon the Wise.
The management of the "Modern Mystery School"
The influence of the Modern Mystery School has grown immensely since 1997, as more and more people look beyond "business as usual" and choose personal empowerment and social change. Founder Gudni spent over a decade training two other lineage holders, Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon and Ipsissimus Hideto Nakagome, to create a new form of leadership known as the Third Order (Ipsissimus is an esoteric title). Together with the Council of 12 Women, the Third Order directs the Modern Mystery School worldwide.
Dave Lanyon
The very same
Ipsissimus Dave Thor Lanyon is the driving force behind the explosive growth of the Mystery School. Since joining the lineage in 2004, his efforts have expanded the school from 12 to 55 countries. Dave has dedicated his life to serving the world by teaching, healing, and helping people from all walks of life to discover themselves. He is an expert at identifying what is blocking a person and guiding them to higher frequencies and deeper understanding.
Gudni Gudnason
founder
Born as Gudni Halldor Gudnason of Thoroddsen in northern "Vikingland" Iceland, in the direct line of the war god Thor from the "Eagle Vale Clan" in western Iceland, where Yggdrasil is located and where Odin hung from the tree for nine days and nights. Initiated into the line of King Solomon in the early 1970s, endowed with priesthood powers from the High Priest Melchizedek, he was initiated into the secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza in a nighttime ceremony. Guardian of the Grail Secret, initiated Celtic medicine man, Viking shaman, Druid priest, Knight Templar, and Egyptian High Priest of Isis, he is authorized to carry out the work of the Hierarchy of Light in every way with the highest powers bestowed upon a human being.
Hideto REI Nakagome
The very same
Ipsissimus Hideto Rei Nakagome has been instrumental in the growth of the Mystery School since joining the lineage in 2000. He immediately recognized the urgency of creating world peace and wanted to directly support this cause. He has worked passionately ever since.
