Mystery Schools
The Zoence Mystery School operates via the special events and geocosmological pilgrimages. These will be found listed under Events, which show the programme of events for each year. All these are part of a greater mystery that Zoence is acting out, playing its role in the World Mystery as an act of service.
Not surprisingly, for millennia it has been noted that we all need help in this, not only to perceive that life is a mystery and we are actors in it, but also to understand it, discover our roles, perform our parts well and become co-authors.
Initiation
Initiation—a word derived from the Latin words initio (‘begin’, ‘originate’), initium (‘a beginning’) and ineo (‘go in’, ‘enter upon’, ‘begin’), from in (‘in’) + eo (‘go’)—refers primarily to entering consciously into an experience and knowledge of the mystery of life. This is not just an intellectual knowledge but also an intuitive and experiential knowledge, the ultimate purpose being that the initiate should become the knower—a knower of the truth. This truth is the wisdom, the secret of life itself. To truly know the truth means living the truth, or living in truth. It means being able to answer the question “What is truth?” not just by explaining it but also by manifesting it.
