Mystery School Lesson XV: Hope

How the Flame of Hope Ignites Vision, and Prepares the Way for Spiritual Victory

Dear friends,

In Christian theology, hope is the second of the three Virtues—faith, hope, and charity (love)—as taught by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:13.

"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

While faith is the belief in the unseen truths of God, hope is the confident expectation that His promises—especially eternal life and the grace to reach it—will be fulfilled. It is the soul’s trust in God's mercy, goodness, and faithfulness, even in times of hardship or uncertainty. Hope empowers the believer to endure trials with courage, anchoring the heart in the quiet certainty that God’s plan will prevail. This plan is the unique path He has laid out for each person to grow, heal, love, and become their true self, leading to a life of purpose, goodness, and deep communion with Him.

Without hope, faith becomes stagnant and charity loses direction; hope propels the soul forward on the path of sanctification.

Mystery School Teaching

In esoteric teachings, hope is the transmutation of a human sentiment into a dynamic spiritual force—a radiant current from the soul’s higher bodies that connects the aspirant’s heart chakra to the divine blueprint of their destiny.

It functions as an initiatory energy, arising from the heart and etheric body, and anchored in the Causal Body as a golden-pink flame that precedes manifestation.

In the words of Lord Maitreya, hope is “a vital and expanding force to create in advance a sense of victory and progress”—a prophetic power that projects divine possibility into the fabric of the now.

The flame of hope is, therefore, the forerunner of spiritual attainment, igniting vision, sustaining effort, and holding the template of victory even before outer confirmation appears. It is the antidote to despair and inertia, aligning the lower self with the divine plan and magnetizing angelic assistance and inner guidance.
