3 & 5 Mysteries
      As Utilized in the 5 Mt System
      In the Living Gods, Let the hallowed Light of Transcendant Truth be praised. Let the Sweet Mystery of Miryai awaken in the heart of hearts.
The 5 Mt System uses an expanded version of the 3 Mysteries by observing one of them for  five consecutive days, an observance kept three times each Fortnight. The first five days are under the "body" mystery, the second under the voice, and the third under the mind. All of the 5 Mt Paths have some type of teaching concerning the 3 Mysteries, 3 Ashas,  3 Vajras, 3 Barbelos, and the 3 Seals:

EarthStar: The Shingon 3 Mystery Teaching:

    The "Three Mysteries" of body, speech, and mind participate simultaneously in the subsequent process of revealing one's nature: the body through devotional gestures (mudra) and the use of ritual instruments, speech through sacred formulas (mantra), and mind through meditation. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingon_Buddhism
WaterStar: Zarathustrian 3 Mystery Teaching:
      "Humata, Huxta, Huvarshta (Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds), the Threefold Path of Asha, is considered the core maxim of Zoroastrianism especially by modern practitioners." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism
FireStar: The Bon 3 Mystery Teaching:
    The Three Vajras, namely "body, speech and mind", are a formulation within Vajrayana Buddhism and Bon that hold the full experience of the ??nyat? "emptiness" of Buddha-nature, void of all qualities (Wylie: yon tan) and marks[1] (Wylie: mtshan dpe) and establish a sound experiential key upon the continuum of the path to enlightenment. The Three Vajras correspond to the trikaya and therefore also have correspondences to the Three Roots and other refuge formulas of Tibetan Buddhism. The Three Vajras are viewed in twilight language as a form of the Three Jewels, which imply purity of action, speech and thought. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Vajras
The Three Vajras are subsumed within the 'Five fundamental aspects of an enlightened being':
        The body (sku), voice (gsung), mind (thugs), qualities (yon tan) and activities (phrin las) represent the five fundamental aspects of an enlightened being.[12] Namkhai Norbu et al. (2001: p. 176) l
WindStar: The Gnostic  3 Mystery  Teaching speaks of Thought of the Father, Immeasurable Voice, and the All that took shape:
I [am] the Thought of the Father, Protennoia, that is, Barbelo, the perfect Glory, and the immeasurable Invisible One who is hidden. I am the Image of the Invisible Spirit, and it is through me that the All took shape, and (I am) the Mother (as well as) the Light which she appointed as Virgin, she who is called 'Meirothea', the incomprehensible Womb, the unrestrainable and immeasurable Voice. - Trimorphic Protennoia 
ZephyrStar: The Manichaean  3 Mystery Teaching:
The Elect, who were "sealed" with the three seals of mouth and hands and breast (ensuring virtue of speech and act and feeling) - http://www.iranchamber.com/religions/articles/manichaeism4.php
The 5 Mt System uses the  expanded version of 5 Mysteries by adding two more to the traditional three. These 5 then correspond to the five souls found in diverse Paths.
 
 

Peace to all....
