Mystery Schools
Where each worldview places it
The priesthood of the hidden religion, "the priests, adepts and initiates who are in control". It holds the "secrets of the ages", developed and hid science, and has ruled "as advisors and priests" and "powers behind the thrones in ancient times and even today"[1]. Cooper calls it "the most ancient and still most successful religion on earth" because it stays hidden[2].
