THE BEGINNINGWho are you?”I asked.“A teacher,” he replied.“A teacher of what?”“Mysteries.”“And where do you teach?”“Here.”“In the desert?”“What better place to find the truth with no distractions?”“In a school?”“Some would call it that,” he replied.“And who are your students?”“Seekers of truth.”“How do they know to come . . . to the desert?”“Word of mouth . . . an encounter, if it’s meant to be. It just happens in theencounter . . . as in this one.”“As in this encounter?”“If it’s meant to be.”“And where do your students live?”“There are many accommodations.”“Dorms?”“That might be stretching it,” he replied. “Rooms, dwelling places, chambers.”“And how much does it cost to . . . ”“Attend?”“Yes.”“It doesn’t.”“How is that possible?”“If one is truly seeking, it’s provided for.”“Really?”“Come,” he said.“To the school?”“Come and you’ll see.”“I can’t,” I said. “I’m in the middle of a kind of journey.”“Through a Middle Eastern desert?” he said.“Yes.”“And what exactly were you expecting to find?”“Nothing, just . . . ”“You’re on a journey to find nothing?”“I like to travel.”“With no destination?”viiiCahn-BookMysteries TP.indd 84/12/18 3:11 PM
“Not in particular.”“But what if there was a destination?”“What do you mean?”“What if there was something you were meant to find?”“Like what?”“Come and you’ll see. The new year’s about to begin. It’s a good time tostart.”“To start?”“The new course. The course I teach starts with the new year and ends atthe year’s end.”“I can’t.”“Of course you can,” he said.“I mean, I don’t know that I would.”“You will,” he said, “if it’s meant to be.”That’s how it all began, an unplanned encounter in the middle of a desert.I don’t know which was more absurd, what he told me about his “school” orthe fact that I actually ended up there as one of his students. And I can’t sayexactly what it was that led me to take that step. Perhaps it was the thoughtthat if I didn’t do it, I would always wonder what it would have been like tohave done so and regret having not taken the chance. Nothing about the school was ordinary. The accommodations were sparse asone would expect considering the location. And yet it didn’t seem to matter,not to any of the students. They came from all walks of life and from a widevariety of places.It wasn’t entirely barren. There were carefully maintained gardens of trees,plants, vines, and flowers. And then there were the people of the surroundingregion, the nomads, the shepherds, the many desert dwellers who lived in thetent encampments or tent villages that dotted the arid landscape. About anhour’s walk from the school was a small city. On occasion I would go there, aswould others from the school, to purchase goods, to observe, and, when appropriate, to seek to apply the lessons given.The school had other classes and teachers, but he was clearly preeminentand the one who oversaw everything else. He was so preeminent that he wasknown simply as “the teacher.” All the more reason I could never understandwhy he chose me as one of his students.He lived a simple, ascetic life, as did everyone at the school. It was inkeeping with the goal of eliminating all distractions. We drew our water fromixCahn-BookMysteries TP.indd 94/12/18 3:11 PM
a well, and at night the school was lit up with candles and oil lamps. It wasas if we were all transported back to ancient times. And yet, at the same time,the teacher seemed very much aware of what was going on in the larger worldfrom which the school seemed so cut off. Nor was he averse to making use ofany tool or service of the modern world that would serve the purposes of theteachings.As for the teachings themselves, they were no less ordinary than the schoolin which they were given. Most of the classes I was given consisted of just meand the teacher. There was no set time or place. They could take place early inthe morning, in the middle of the day, or late at night and in desert plains, onmountaintops, on hills, in oil-lit chambers, while overlooking one of the tentvillages, or while journeying through the desert on camels. There were timeswhen the teaching would be triggered or initiated by the surroundings or bysomething we happened to see, or at least it seemed that way. I could neverquite tell if the teaching was based on the surroundings or the surroundingson the teaching. And there were some teachings that came about in responseto one of my questions. Each teaching would impart a mystery or truth. Somemysteries would build upon other mysteries or together form a larger mystery.At the end of each teaching he would give me an assignment, a mission toapply what I learned to my life that day.I kept a journal in which I wrote down what he taught me and our conversations as best I could remember them—the teachings, the mysteries, thequestions and answers, and the references I was able to find later on thatmatched up with what he shared. So by the end of the course and the year Ihad recorded three hundred sixty-five mysteries, one for each day of the year,a teaching, a mystery, and a mission.The following is the record of what I was shown by the teacher, the mysteries he imparted, as I received them in the year I dwelt in the desert. xCahn-BookMysteries TP.indd 104/12/18 3:11 PM
DAY 1INFINITY IN A JARIt was morning.The teacher came to my room holding a little clay jar.“A question,” he said. “Can that which is little contain that which is big?”“No,” I answered.“Can that which is finite encompass that which is infinite?”“No,” I said again.“But it can,” he replied.“How?”He lifted the jar and removed the cap from its top.“It can,” he said again. “It can if it’s an open vessel. A closed vessel cannever contain anything larger than its own size. But an open vessel has nolimitations. It now can contain the blowing of the wind or the outpouring ofthe rain. It could even contain the flowing of a river.”“It would take a long time to contain a river.”“It could take forever, but the principle is the same.”“And the reason you’re showing me this . . . ”“Which is larger, that which you know or that which you don’t know?”“That which I don’t know, I would think.”“So then, it’s only wise that you seek that which you don’t know.”“I guess.”“But how do you contain that which is bigger than you . . . that which isbigger than your ability to comprehend?”“By becoming an open vessel,” I said.“Yes,” said the teacher. “Only by opening yourself up can you come to knowthat which you don’t already know. And only by becoming an open vessel canyou contain that which is greater than yourself. The truth is always greaterthan our knowing. Your mind and heart are finite, clay jars. But the truth hasno end. God has no end. The Eternal is infinite . . . always flowing.”“Like the river,” I said.“Yes,” he said, “but when the jar opens itself up, it becomes unlimited. Itcan contain the waters of the river . . . So open now your mind, your heart, andyour life. For it is only the open vessel and an open heart that can contain theinfinity of God.”The Mission: Today, open your mind, your heart, and your life to that whichyou don’t yet know, that you might contain that which is greater than yourself.Isaiah 55:1–9; Jeremiah 33:3; 2 Corinthians 4:7Filled Up With the FullnessCahn-BookMysteries TP.indd 14/12/18 3:11 PM
DAY 2THE I AM OF ALL I AMSIthe second day that I realized that there would be no set time forthe teacher’s coming. He came in the afternoon.“Do you know the Name of God?” asked the teacher.“I don’t know that I do.”“It’s made up of four Hebrew letters, the yud, the heh, the vav, and the heh:YHVH. It’s the most sacred of names, so sacred some refuse to say it. And yetyou say it all the time.”“The sacred Name of God?” I replied. “How could I when I never knew it?”“When you speak of yourself, you say the Name.”“I don’t understand.”“When you feel happy, you say, ‘I am happy.’ And when you’re not, you say‘I am sad.’ When you tell others who you are, you say, ‘I am’ followed by yourname. YHVH means ‘I Am.’ It’s the Name of the Eternal, the Name of God.His Name is I Am.”“Then we all say His Name.”“Yes. And you have always said it. It is woven into the fabric of existencethat when you speak of yourself, you must say His Name.”“Why is that?”“It’s because your existence comes from His existence. He is the I Am ofall existence . . . the I Am of all I ams. Your I am only exists because of His IAm. And as you exist from Him, so it is only from Him that you can find thereason and purpose of your existence. Therefore, when you say your name,you must always speak His Name. And you must always speak His Name first.”“Because . . . ”“Because His existence is first and your existence flows forth from His.That’s the flow of existence. Therefore, you must put Him first and then leteverything flow from that. Let everything begin with Him and flow forth fromHim. That’s the secret of life. To not only live for Him, but to live your lifefrom Him, to live from His living, to move from His moving, to act from Hisactions, to feel from His heart, to be from His being, and to become who youare from who He is . . . I am.”t was byThe Mission: Today, learn the secret of living each moment from His life,doing from His doing, loving from His love, and being from His being.Exodus 3:14–15; Acts 17:28The I Am MysteriesCahn-BookMysteries TP.indd 24/12/18 3:11 PM
DAY 3THE SHANNAHHme at night.“What is a year?” asked the teacher.“Three hundred sixty-five days,” I answered.“But in the sacred tongue of Scripture it’s more than that. It’s called theshannah . . . and it contains a secret. The word shannah is linked to thenumber two.”“I don’t get the connection.”“Shannah can mean the second, the duplicate, or the repeat. In the natural realm, in the realm of astrophysics and nature, the year is a repetitionof what has already been . . . the revolving of the earth around the sun . . . thecoming of winter, spring, summer, and fall . . . the blossoming of flowers andtheir w ithering away, the rebirth of nature and its dying, the same progression,the same replaying of what already was. So a year is a shannah, the repetitionof the past. And now you have a new year before you. So what kind of yearwill it be?”“What do you mean?”“The nature of nature is to repeat, just as we live, by nature, as creatures ofhabit. We gravitate toward doing that which we’ve done before, the same routines and courses, even when those routines and courses are harmful to us. Sowhat will the shannah, this coming year, be for you?”“Well if the year means the repeat, I guess I don’t have much of a choice. Itwill be mostly the
