| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mystery |
 | | Mystery, therefore, in its strict theological sense is not synonymous with the incomprehensible, since all that we know is incomprehensible, i.e., not adequately comprehensible as to its inner being; nor with the unknowable, since many things merely natural are accidentally unknowable, on account of their inaccessibility, e.g., things that are future, remote, or hidden. | | | In the New Testament the word mystery is applied ordinarily to the sublime revelation of the Gospel (Matthew 13:11; Colossians 2:2; 1 Timothy 3:9; 1 Corinthians 15:51), and to the Incarnation and life of the Saviour and His manifestation by the preaching of the Apostles (Romans 16:25; Ephesians 3:4; 6:19; Colossians 1:26; 4:3). | | | The obscurity which surrounds the mysteries of faith results from the weakness of the human intellect, which, like the eye that gazes on the sun, is blinded by the fulness of light. |

| | Mysteries of Rennes-le-Château (Morgana's Observatory) |
| | Lincoln thinks his book may offer the key to the mystery. | | | The mystery is rendered greater by a series of parchments found by the cleric in 1891, which contained an easily discovered cipher. | | | Boudet appears to argue in the book the silly thesis that the Celts spoke Anglo-Saxon, and that it -- English, in effect -- was the language which was spoken by Noah's sons before the Tower of Babel. |

| | Mystery! - The Boston Globe |
| | Given the meteoric success of certain mysteries and thrillers with historical themes-"The Name of the Rose," ''The Rule of Four," ''The Da Vinci Code"-Kristeva's publisher may be hoping that her book, too, has crossover appeal. | | | This month, Columbia University Press is bringing out her latest novel, ''Murder in Byzantium," a 250-page thriller-of-ideas (published in France in 2004, and translated into English by C. Jon Delogu) that ruminates about globalization, memory, the Crusades, Europe, love, motherhood, and modern spiritual malaise. | | | The book also differs from her earlier novels in its ''historic project" (as Kristeva puts it) namely its preoccupation with the era of the First Crusade. |

| | The Mystery of Marie Roget is particularly interesting, as it is a scarcely fictionalized analysis of the circumstances around the real-life discovery of the body of a young woman named Mary Rogers, in which Poe expounds his theory of what actually happened. | | | In tales such as these, the primary concern of the plot is ascertaining truth, and the usual means of obtaining the truth is through a complex and mysterious process combining intuitive logic, astute observation and perspicacious inference. | | | An early archetype of these types of story were the three Auguste Dupin stories of Edgar Allan Poe: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter, and The Mystery of Marie Roget. |

| | Classic Mystery Fiction |
| | Israel Zangwill's contribution to mystery fiction is the first so-called locked room story where a crime is committed in a room locked from the inside thus it is impossible to work out how and who done it. | | | It is difficult to choose a novel by Ngaio Marsh to place in this section of the Bastulli Mystery Library because, let's face it, all of her work may be considered Classic Mystery Literature. | | | One must not expect this novel to be a prototype mystery since for Zangwill this was a one-off attempt that he did not repeat, but the book is very enjoyable and paved the way for a much used sub-genre. |

| | Most of today's mystery writers would not be as sophisticated as Braddon at integrating contemporary movements in painting and photography into their tales. | | | Hoffmann's work is unusual as well, in that the mystery elements are woven into a complex tale, in which the very shape of the crime becomes a mysterious issue. | | | It is not surprising that the whodunit murder mystery should emerge from this context, and form an important subgenre in the era. |

| | The Mystery Schools - Part 1 |
| | A Mystery school is not dependent on location; rather it is an association or brotherhood of spiritually disciplined individuals bound by one common purpose, service to humanity, a service intelligently and compassionately rendered because born of love and wisdom. | | | Simultaneously with the establishment of the Mystery schools in Atlantis some four or five million years ago, the fifth or Aryan race was slowly coming into being, immensely aided by egos of spiritual refinement attracted there by ties of divine kinship. | | | The second of these aims is ages-long in accomplishment and deeply occult: to rouse the hidden fire of divinity in the human soul, and through the kindling of that flame burn the dross of imperfection, sloth, and unworthy desire from the heart. |

| | America's Subversion The Enemy Within: Chapter 11 |
| | In the Mystery Schools, such as in ancient Egypt, the initiation facilitator was called "heirophant," (a word which she herself uses) the conductor of spiritual (spiritistic) ceremony whose specific role was not to be underestimated, just as in hypnotic induction, the personal role of the hypnotist is not to be underestimated. | | | The person is guided to sacrifice even oneself, according to ancient Mystery School tradition, to achieve "union" and is brought into union in a trance state described in which demons and "gods" cannot be differentiated. | | | The Illuminati scheme itself, composed of Rosicrucian and Masonic Principles, is rooted in the ancient Mystery schools. |
