THE STORY
Our hero, Elouan, abandons the Muein Mystery School hidden high in the Alps to descend into southern France and find the missing father he never knew. He quickly discovers his education in higher consciousness and corresponding abilities is heretical to medieval Christianity, but he and his newfound friends must rely upon this wisdom as the worst disaster in history erupts -- the Black Death. Elouan uses his arcane roots to champion survival amid the flood of loss and subsequent collapse of society, all being heralded as “God’s wrath.” BUT -- will he find his father in time? Or will they both become additional casualties in the continent’s unforgiving apocalypse?
Let the theater of your imagination ignite your soul as you bear witness to those lives confronting head-on the themes of darkness and light, life and death, and the journey of one’s chosen path – no matter WHERE or WHEN you exist.
WHAT IS THE MUEIN MYSTERY SCHOOL?
An institution that spans the four corners of the medieval world. Its mission is to guard yet also disseminate the ageless knowledge of all life’s interconnectedness and the responsibility that comes with that sacred Oneness -- which is accessible to all yet could be abused by those who are not mature enough to fully comprehend it.
The mystery school is also a spiritual temple, where its members unfold their knowledge and corresponding abilities into classifications of priesthood, the levels indicating at what echelon one’s working relationship to the Universal Unity and inner journey is currently being explored – from Disciple, to Guardian Priest, to Master Apprentice, to Master Guide.
From exploring the minutiae of universal interconnectedness, members of the school are advanced in the finer depths of what consciousness can do in association with all other life. From the ability to blend with the energies of other living things for communication and inspiration – such as plants and animals – to one’s consciousness transcending the frameworks of time, space, and even physical death itself.
Members of the temple-school are either born from within by its existing members or are chosen from the outside world in a very selective and highly secretive manner. Students must already show some level of interrelation with life around them – a depth of compassion accompanied with levels of intuition much deeper than that of the average person. These gifts are then guided in their unfoldment by the centuries of knowledge held sacred by the Master Guides and taught from the top-down.
Once a student has reached a certain level of inner wisdom and exterior proficiency in behavior and actions with such knowledge, they are required to leave the school and enter society in what is termed the “Pilgrimage of Service.” In this pilgrimage, they seek out a certain area in the modern world’s manifested expression and carefully attempt to reinsert parts of the lost wisdom, thereby elevating the consciousness of the region, provide understanding, and perhaps even healing – and by extension, enriching the rest of the world in the movement from darkness into light. No student can advance to Master Guide status without having achieved this portion of their journey. The earliest a student may perform this pilgrimage is after a decade of training at the level of Guardian Priest; even then, it is expected that most won’t make the sojourn until they are ready to transition from Guardian to Master Apprentice.
