Dear Community,
Hot on the heels of Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon teaching Empower Thyself alongside his senior panel of teachers in London for the first time, it is time to put one of his teachings into practice – Consistency!
Participating in our own progression and showing up consistently and with discipline is such an important key to growth. Ipsissima Theresa Bullard-Whyke shares some deeply profound reflections in an interview. Check it out below!
Today Wednesday 16th July we have Metaphysical Wednesdays in London where students will be taught how to connect with their Higher Self in their personal Sanctuary. Join our Sanctuary Meditation class below.
With love,
Modern Mystery School UK & EU Team

P.S. See you at Chi Do tonight, free and online as always!
One Step at a Time
Along the way of living a spiritual life, and indeed life in general, you can sometimes feel moments of doubt and fear. Setbacks can lead to self-doubt and negativity which can spiral and take root, becoming harmful thought patterns or behaviour that can impede growth and progression. Roadblocks and rejection are a part of life that we all have to experience, but how do you truly transcend these without repression, avoidance, or attachment?
In the podcast “Know Thyself”, Andre Duqum interviews Ipsissima Theresa Bullard-Whyke. Together, they dive into the history of the split between physics and metaphysics, exploring its implications for our understanding of reality. Ipsissima Theresa Bullard-Whyke examines the law of science that limits the perception of ourselves, our potential and reality itself. She serves as a powerful reminder that the true pursuit of science is one which encompasses spirituality as part of the whole. There is no separation.
In the discussion of alchemy and the integration of science and spirituality, Ipsissima Theresa Bullard-Whyke shared many practical tips that are useful for day-to-day life. For example, how do you ground possibilities in the quantum field into physical reality? It is not through words or concepts, but through experimenting, exploring and living it, that you can gain understanding which in turn becomes wisdom. Thought must marry action and this is going to be an everyday thing.
I was going through a period of self-hatred when I started listening to this, and it dawned on me as I was listening, that in trying to master my feelings and traumas, I was not really surrendering or accepting them. Instead, I was beating myself up for having those traumas or feelings in the first place, and this was keeping me stuck in a loop of frustration and negative self belief.
In her explanation of the 7 stages of Alchemy and how to embrace the quantum mindset, we have to be aware of which stage we are in, accept that and to go through it knowing that what comes next will be better. It is part of the process of ‘Knowing Thyself’. Know where you are in the process and what comes next so that you do not get stuck beating yourself up.
Like a light bulb turning on, I realised that I did not accept where I was and did not have faith in what was coming next and was therefore feeling stuck!
This uncertainty that I was feeling was not a setback but is actually what opens up so many possibilities for transformation.
But what was I afraid of? I was afraid of feeling the pain from the past…but without feeling it, I could not participate in the process of transformation. Ipsissima Theresa gave the example of the caterpillar, becoming goo in the cocoon, becoming a butterfly and then trying to break free of the chrysalis, becoming strong in that process in order to live the life it was meant to live. In that struggle to break open the chrysalis, it has to feel the pain of that struggle. It needed to become goo and it needed to participate. In order to transform, I needed to participate and for me, that was to feel the pain (become the goo) and let it pass (the struggle to become stronger). This is consistency in acceptance and participation. Not avoidance masked as transcendence!
Whatever transformation might look for you, it cannot happen without the consistency of your participation and these don’t have to be earth shaking things. It can be in the small adjustments that you make everyday to consistently show up for yourself in order to know yourself and from there, to trust yourself.
As Ipsissima Theresa so beautifully and yet which such simplicity expressed: “ There is so much more potential in you than you have ever been taught. Believe in yourself. If you can start believing in yourself, then you can progress from believing to knowing and to start to Know Thyself. All the mystery traditions all said Know Thyself because you are the microcosm of the macrocosm. The macrocosm is in you – As above so below and the divine is in you and if you want to know the divine and the potential you have, you have to look inside.”
Awaken yourself through the inner work rather than from the outside hacking in.
From belief to knowing, from knowing to understanding, from understanding to wisdom and from wisdom to knowing our divinity. This is the path! And the truth is, we already innately know this. Perhaps we just need to be reminded and to be consistent in our pursuit of progression. Diana Cinpoeru and Paul Schulz share further on this.

Lately, I found myself spiralling into that all-too-familiar space: self-doubt. That subtle yet powerful fear of the future. Yet, if you are unaware, it sneaks in and takes over like a parasite giving rise to questions like “How do I know it’s going to be okay?” or “What if it doesn’t work out?”. It can wrap itself around our thoughts, fog our emotions, and disconnect us from who we truly are.
But the truth lies beyond all of that…
Know thyself.
When there’s no guaranteed outcome, the only thing that will unfold is what you choose to create — through your words, your thoughts, and your actions. Yes, you are that powerful.
Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon writes in his latest book: “No one can guarantee the outcome of our efforts, but when our intentions and actions are in alignment, the likelihood of fulfilment expands exponentially.”
For example, if you do not have the certainty that your boyfriend is not going to leave you for someone better, if you feel unworthy, if you think you are not good enough or if you think your parents think badly about you – you are actually putting that energy into the universe.
On the other hand, with the same amount of energy, you can choose to focus on what you want to manifest. You can learn to direct your mind, clear limiting patterns before they take root, and begin to create from a place of power and alignment.
On the path of Progression we have time-tested tools that work, and can help you clear that ugly energy before in comes into fruition, and to train yourself to create what you desire.
So ask yourself:
How do I want my life to look?
What do I truly desire to experience?
As Ipsissima Dr. Theresa Bullard-Whyke shares in her recent podcast:
“Our foundation in life, our subconscious programming, is based on the things we think, say, and do every day. It’s not the big moments, but the small daily actions that determine our ability to hold the resonance we want to live in. That’s why having a daily spiritual practice is so essential.”
So what makes one consistent?
It’s not perfection. It’s commitment.
It’s choosing — again and again — to align with your essence rather than your fears.

I really liked the podcast with Ipsissima Theresa Bullard-Whyke, as it is truly fascinating how clear and “simple” she can articulate complex topics.
My favourite topic is the Art of Alchemy, as I am currently learning more about this art myself. As Ipssisima Theresa Bullard-Whyke says: “Understanding the 7 stages of transformation allows you to see your lower self—your lead—as a starting point for becoming a higher, more enlightened version of who you truly are.”
Each stage in the transformation process represents a step closer to uncovering our inner light, turning every challenge into a catalyst for personal development.
My biggest takeaway is that I look at every challenge as a potential opportunity to grow and shift into a higher stage. Whenever I face a struggle, I remind myself that this is part of inner alchemy and that I am in one of those 7 phases at any given moment!
This approach invites us to continuously and consistently evaluate and understand our inner states so that, by recognizing the phase we are in, we can better navigate the path toward becoming our highest selves. Pretty cool!
