I recently found the story of Lydia of Damscus, a member of the Antioch cell of the Mystery School Network circa 341 A.D. in what is known today as Antalya, Turkey.
It is a fascinating concept, that adepts ie: telestai ("those who are aimed"), shamans and seekers, students of the Zodiac and the great cosmic cycles gathered in conversation and concern for those incarnate during Kali Yuga -the last phase of the great cosmic cycle measured by the Zodiac.
We are those for whom they foresaw a time of great deception, and the loss of the sacred and secret knowledge of the Light-education through the luminosity of Gaia-Sophia.
I would like to share with you 'Lydia's Vow', from metahistory.org.
My name is Lydia Dzumardjin, a woman of the nomadic tribe Mardeena. My tribe is from Parthia, today called Iran, a land known for warriors skilled in archery on horseback. I was born on 306 AD in Hecatombylos, the city of a hundred gates, a crossroads for travelers, Silk Route traders, bandits, scholars, and wandering mystics. My parents were stargazers called Sabians, descended from a long line of seers and diviners. The Mardeena pitched their tents all across Parthia and westward into the Levant. I happened to be born within the walls of the many-gated city when the tribe was attending the Festival of Amber that occurred there every five years.
I am writing these words to tell the world about a vow I made when I was 35 years old, and how I came to fulfill that vow when I lived much later, in another life, in a future time, the 21st century.
