The Third Order
There are currently 7 remaining lineage Mystery Schools on Earth and each bears at least one key holder, responsible for anchoring that lineage on the planet and tasked with the responsibility of upholding and protecting the integrity, power, and purity of the lineage and its mission.
Within this lineage, the main key holders are Founder Gudni Gudnason, Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, and Ipsissimus Hideto Nakagome. Together, they are known as the Third Order, and they administer and attend to maintaining the purity of the lineage of King Salomon and progressing the impact of the Modern Mystery School worldwide.
Founder Gudni Gudnason is recognized as the Founder of the Modern Mystery School for his great service of opening the doors of the lineage to the public in 1997. His journey of developing his tremendous gifts and realizing his purpose as a Leader and Hierophant began with the Golden Dawn in London until he was called by the Hierarchy of Light to open this lineage to the public in 1997. Until 2017, he was the sole key holder. To learn more about him, follow this link: https://www.modernmysteryschoolint.com/ipsissimus-gudni-frater-ged-gudnason/
