Mystery school
Reading through Hebrews 7 just now one can *feel* one is in the presence of the *true* mystery school of the ages. People play around with mystery schools, ways, philosophies, clubs, groups, religions, traditions, while all the while the one true mystery school of the ages (Christianity) is not only present among them rather obviously but is soundly rejected by them and even mocked by them.
You can only see this via the Spirit, and the Spirit rewards effort, humble effort, to engage the living word, the Old and New Testaments, in a dedicated manner, complete.
The Work is the higher ground of the mystery school, though to put that in perspective, it is not equal to it but a part of it. Calvinism, or Reformed, or Federal Theology is the doctrinal school of it. The hard biblical doctrine that is un-watered-down, un-negotiated-down to the demands of our fallen nature.
One thing is to seek a *complete*, or *contained* teaching. Not only that but a complete, or contained approach. The Work is a complete and contained teaching. The Old and New Testaments are complete and contained. When you read it complete that is a complete and contained approach. Reformed Theology is complete and contained if you can discern it and not get drawn off by the numerous false teachers and false teachings that infiltrate it (darkness attacks where the truth is). Just as you want to be a complete and contained microcosmos.
Everything else is scattered, Many''I's, Imaginary I, nothing contained, no ability to hold force, breaches in boundaries, promiscuity-with-the-world existence.
