Hermetic sentences extracted from The Message Rediscovered
We present a selection of hermetic sentences extracted from The Message Rediscovered, the Cattiaux's master work, arranged according to the fundamental symbols of the different spiritual traditions in order to generate a new network of meanings in relationship with the art and the symbol. The Message Rediscovered is a book that contains, as his author said, "a tightly initiation and mystique presented in a concentrated form that demands more than a straightforward reading, the words being transcended by the revelation, and the work presenting itself as liquid air that has acquired other extraordinary properties, but which are invisible at first sight".

Food

37/15. We shall thus pray for our meal: «Thank you Lord, who delivers yourself for our food under the dark veil of earthly creatures. Make our digestion be accomplished perfectly, so that we receive your precious life and reject the poison of death.» We shall pray thus for the communion: «Thank you Lord, who gives yourself to us for our salvation under the luminous veil of the celestial creature. Make your glorious life shine in us forever, after having annihilated the abomination of the sin of death that maintains us in the mortal agony of exile.»

36/26-29. Thus, man overcomes earthly food and transforms it into him. But he is overcome by heavenly food that transforms him into God. That which we repeat here to all believers is a great mystery, for it is the mystery of God that dwells in the purity of life delivered from death. Therefore it only remains for us to find the marvellous Lord descended from heaven who said: «Eat, this is my flesh; drink, this is my blood». Or to obtain from a secret priest of God the communion of this prodigious Lord that saves from death. «Order of Melchizedek.» For we know and we receive only in images in this world darkened by death, in prefiguration of the great day of judgement when we shall know and when we shall receive the holy and palpable reality. Nevertheless, God has allowed some of his sages to know him in this world, and has allowed some of his saints to receive him even here below, like the first fruits of the resurrection announced to all. Thus, do we understand why it is said that the Lord God shall judge the living and the dead, the living first and then the dead? For even the grace of the gift of life in this very world does not dispense us from the final judgement of the most righteous God.

14/34'. Love, which is the food of the soul, does not need to be digested like grace and like food, which are the nourishment of the spirit and the body, for it is already like the divine fire: accomplished and perfect.
