Awaken and Arise
Every person upon a spiritual path of understanding, enlightenment, and gnosis, started life within exactly the same veil of forgetfulness. We are taught how to be human and survive in the physical world. Depending upon culture, religion and upbringing, we develop an understanding of beliefs, dogmas, teachings and practices native to our family and social surroundings. We, as children, trust what we are being taught to believe, and our beliefs become our world.
While our beliefs become the bedrock of our world and create the comfort zone of our known reality, those beliefs are fallible. Our family, our social circle, and society can only pass on to each successive generation the beliefs that they inherited from all the millennia of ancestors before them.
This is where the story would end if that was all that mankind had to rely on. But it is not. Within every living man and woman, there is this still small voice that quietly whispers in our minds and in our hearts that there is more. There is a greater truth. There is a greater understanding.
For those who are sensitive to the still small voice within, it whispers with the voice of spirit. The soul. The divine essence within. It's calling each of us to awaken from the dream of mortality and pull the sword from the stone of destiny. Its calling us to question everything that we have ever been taught. Its calling us to question our deepest held beliefs - those very beliefs that anchor us to a known reality. It calls us to question our very mortality.
We ask, "Who am I?", "Why am I here?", and "Where am I going when this life ends?" Mortality has no answer. It has no answer because it only knows and understands this physical reality. It exists within a very finite spectrum of divine reality. If you truly want to answer those questions, that still small voice within has the answers.
That still small voice within is your own eternal divine spark of God, pure divine infinite consciousness. It is the true essence of who you really are. And that still small voice of your own divine consciousness is calling you to a remembrance of your eternal divinity.
It's calling you to pull the sword of destiny from the stone. No one can pull the sword from the stone for you. Like King Arthur, in the Arthurian Legends, your ability to pull the sword from that stone is your rite of passage into a new life, a new and deeper reality and a new understanding of your divine place in the greater divine reality.
Sword in Hand, Now What?
Our deepest congratulations! Out of the billions of men and women around the world and in all the ages past, you have pulled the sword from the stone and joined the awakened few. You have arrived at this point by what, in shamanic terms, is called "Shamanic Illness." Your old reality - your beliefs - fractured and left you open to a very real and very different reality. In everyday reality, when something unbelievable occurred that did not fit into your belief system, you ignored it, you pretended it didn't happen, or you found a way to explain it away. In your new reality, you took the blinders off and began to accept the reality of your new world. You experienced it, you accepted it and, with open mind, you explored it.
But this new mystical reality can be very confusing and often the path forward can seem very uncertain Truth can often be hard to discern. It has been that way for all of us, except the fortunate few who found guides and mentors early on. Metaphysical and New Age books, lectures and workshops abound. But what can you believe and trust? And what is it going to cost?
Spirituality is a journey. It is entirely experiential. It is a lifelong path of remembrance. It is the journey within. There are techniques and practices that give you boosts along the way. But ultimately, every person's spiritual journey is entirely unique to them. There are essentially no shortcuts. Your spiritual path will open and unfold as you go. Spirituality is not a race. It is a self-paced course in divinity. Your divinity.
The Mystic Knights
So where does The Sovereign Order of the Mystic Knights of Mary Magdaline fit in? The Mystic Knights exists for one purpose. To teach, venerate and embody the most powerful mystical teaching of all time - that we are divine beings having a mortal experience. That single mystical teaching lies at the heart of every religion, philosophy, and spiritual practice known to man.
Additionally, it is our mission to study, preserve and teach the ancient mystical, universal truths preserved throughout humanity's history.
At the very core of these ancient mystical teachings is the existence and eternal significance the Infinite Divine Feminine Aspect of Pure Divine consciousness, God. We honor Sophia as the embodiment of the Eternal Divine Feminine and Mary Magdalene as her living embodiment.
As an Order, it exists to assist and guide true spiritual seekers toward a deeper spiritual life. As a working mystical, gnostic, spiritual organization, we exist to awaken and transform our world through wisdom, love, understanding, and compassion. We honor everyone as a spark of divinity and seek to aid and assist those in need through service projects and outreach programs.
Our vision is a world in which all mankind embodies the humanity's greatest wisdom teaching, "you are divinity incarnate", creating a new golden age of enlightenment for all of humanity.
