What we mean by the lineage of King Salomon

Clients ask me this often, in different words: "Where does this actually come from?" It's a fair question. Energy work has a reputation for being vague about its own sources. So here is the plain answer. What I practice traces back through an unbroken chain of teacher to student — in person, every single time — to King Salomon. Not a metaphor. A lineage.

A line, not a library

None of this was ever written down and handed out. Mystery schools have existed as long as humans have asked the great questions — energy, consciousness, ritual, healing — and for most of history, only a handful of people ever held the keys at once. Knowledge like this doesn't travel through pages. It travels through initiation: one person who holds it, standing in front of another person, passing it on directly. That's what makes it a lineage instead of a subject.

The first time the door opened

For most of its 3,000 years, this lineage stayed closed to the public entirely. That changed in 1997, when Gudni Gudnason opened its doors for the first time in the tradition's history. He carried its keys alone for two decades, teaching, traveling, building what would become the Modern Mystery School — before doing something the lineage had never done before: sharing the full keys with two other people, so the light would never again rest on a single person.

Since 2017, three people carry it together. The Third Order. Gudni Gudnason. Dave Lanyon, in the lineage since 2004, the force behind its growth into more than 50 countries, teaching the path of the spiritual warrior from Toronto. Hideto Nakagome, in the lineage since 2000, rooted in Japan's esoteric traditions, carrying the school's deep healing current with a lightness that belies how much power is actually behind it. Alongside them sits a Council of Twelve — senior initiates from East and West who confirm and help carry the direction of the school.

A lineage isn't a story about the past. It's a live wire — still carrying current, still reaching a hand toward the next person ready to take it.

Why it still has to be in person

This is the part people find hardest to believe, and it's the part I care about most: none of my training came from a book, a course you watch alone, or a certificate you print at home. Every tool I use — every activation, every session — was placed in my hands by someone who received it the same way, tracing back through that same unbroken chain. That's why a Life Activation is still given hand to hand, in the same room, exactly the way it has always been given. It isn't tradition for tradition's sake. It's the only way this particular current actually transfers.

So when I say I carry the lineage of King Salomon, here in Prague, this is exactly what I mean: a real line of real people, stretching back 3,000 years, still very much alive, still handing itself forward — and for the length of a session, that line runs straight through the room you're sitting in.

Want to feel what that actually carries? The easiest first step is a warm, free conversation. Start there.
