The antique cathar's mysteries
Antonin Gadal
VII
The world is Animal: elements, forests, mountains, everyone has a voice, a language; plants have affections, feelings, the stars are enveloped in fire spirits: the armies of heaven, the morning stars, the choirs of stars are actually .
The man is composed of spirit and matter, form and life: the soul, the heavenly man, is the work of the Son, the body, the earthly man, is a substantive work; souls are inferior angels, expelled from heaven, the birth of man is the fall of an angel; Creation is therefore a fall; life, an atonement made the earth a place of trial and punishment.
The exiled souls return to heaven by purification. This cleansing takes place primarily on land, then in astro astro, by successive ascents and coforme the degree of progress in perfection.
Life's a wrap tainted we abandon the death, the caterpillar, the chrysalis, the perfect insect.
The true life is death, the kiss of God.
Unworthy souls evolve from star to star until the final release, the bosom of God; nothing Hell in eternal love!
I am the Alpha and the Omega;
I have no beginning or end.
The beginning? The end? Death!
The end? The beginning? Life!
The path of the Holy Grail, the path of the stars.
The chrysalis to turn into perfect aura.
Agnostics, the Father
Demiurge, the Son
Paraclete, the Spirit
Under this triple designation, one and the same God.
The Father is absolute, unseen, unknown God.
The Son is God visible, creator of the world, revealed to mankind;
The Spirit is a feminine principle, the Consoler gave him birth before Aurora and he fell upon the earth clothed with an ethereal body with the beauty and splendor of a God.
Christ did not come to earth to atone, but to spread the Truth. He taketh away the sin of the world by the Word, the Word. He could not be a victim, or die, or suffer on the cross, He is God!
Life is death, which releases an evil world, a fatal and useless flesh. Death gives life to heavenly life.
Abstinentia: time, evidence, procedure, instruction, life of the Perfect (and this for two years).
Probatio: with three fasts imposed.
Traditio: traditions of dogma and prayer.
The ideal state? Virginity.
The holy state? Celibacy.
The venerable state? Widowhood.
The latter was exceptional, because the marriage was not an imperfection.
