Just in case you've ever wondered what goes on behind the closed doors of a secretive social club like the Theosophists, who are probably the most famous one, the big secret that they're discussing around the fireplace and piano is what's happening in the Far East. A "Mystery School" is best approached with the old folk colloquialism "out of sight, out of mind" firmly in mind. There's a private library in Los Angeles that was founded by Manley P. Hall, who is a little bit infamous in spite of having been a self-professed secret mystic just because his writing was so prolific. What did he talk about in his lectures? Hinduism and the architecture of buildings in Japan and China. In defense however of serious occult students, the first "Ancient Mystery School" as discoursed upon by Hall is the Society of Glaucon, who competed against Socrates as recorded by Plato. The terminology of this stems from the fact that Plato had an academy, remember the sign on the door that said, "Let no one ignorant of Geometry enter here"? Euclid's 13 Books of the Elements was completed under the orders of Thales, who ordered the land surveyed. Elements has historical and religious significance too, and a close reading of it shows the writer's demonstrative proof that the Earth tilts on its axis. Euclid does not say why it does so, nor does Pythagoras, the reason for the Earth's axial tilt have been left to poets, historians, and Mosaic scholars, but the science of Geometry graphically illustrates the effects of the flood.
Regarding philosophical mystery schools, one question that occurs to me is why they always go to such great lengths to explain away and deny the flood, because one alternative for them would be to simply act like things have always been this way. More than likely, however, that would take all the fun out of their lives, they'd have nothing to conspiratorially theorize about over crumpets and tea with their lace doilies out.
Occultism itself relies entirely on ambiguity, and the more rigid the occultist the more paradox koans and mysterious sayings he has. Paradox is the logical fallacy of self-contradiction, and ambiguity is the rhetorical outcome of a speaker's paradoxical beliefs. But conspiracy is a specific topic related to occultists and occultism, and its etymology or it's provenance as a coinage of language, the origin of the word, is specific to the historical death of Socrates. In this fact lies the real reason why most people consider Manly P. Hall and Theosophy a waste of time, including total criminals who would probably join the conspiracy if they were independently wealthy enough to live lives of despotic opulence. Anyone who knows the origin of the word conspiracy, if concerned, may read the complete works of Plato, Socrates' parliamentary secretary, and will be able to see that the leader of the conspiracy is Glaucon.
"The Conspiracy" is a singular connotative abstract noun. What it connotes are the events recorded in Plato's Dialogues, and as a noun of ideation, since the ideal realm described by Socrates in "The Republic" is the source of knowledge including the knowledge of the law upon which Glaucon's proposed government of
laws alone would be founded; it includes a moral judgement. All nuns signifying ideas contain a moral judgement, character is such a noun, and the lists of
virtues and vices which inhere in the human character prior to a law being made, an oath signed, or a court convened are "ideal nouns". The ideal noun signifies the real invisible. An Israelite such as Noah, Joseph, or Moses had a real inherent character on the basis of his real understanding to of The Realm of Pure Forms before the Ten Commandments were carved into two tables made of granite rock hewed out of Sinai's cliffs.
The Ideal noun, in other words, the signifier of a quality which cannot be discerned by the sense of eyesight, is one that refers to something which exists solely in the actually invisible realm. Prophecy is such a noun, law is one, so are character, prayer, and potentiality. In ideal noun does not signify an occult notion, the occult is not present in the ideal realm, and it is understood by scholars and linguists to mean the absolutely unknowable, and not simply the trivially unknown.
