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".

Ladder

06/43'. We must descend the ladder of creation before being able to go back up to God and fix ourselves in him.

12/48. Let us support those who search for the Unique One so that, on having reached life, they help us to climb the ladder of creation.

08/17'. Before being able to leap into the divine void one needs to climb for a long time the paths of asceticism, on pain of sinking into the mud of chaos

10/19. Let us accept the good and the bad equally, and let us leave to the meditation of time the care of separating them within us, for the sages have said: «Patience is the ladder of the philosophers, and humility is the gate of their secret garden.»

18/48. Let us climb the ladder of love and of knowledge without worthless discussions over how to grab hold of the rungs, and without worthless regrets about what we are leaving below.

25/56. God holds out his hands to all his children, but those who think they have reached the top of the ladder of revelation no longer hold out theirs towards him, and thus remain at a standstill in their ascent, and make speeches to preach to others what they themselves do not actually know.

20/14'-15'. Finally, the ushers came and threw out all those who were waiting in the antechamber in the house of the Highest, but I continued to wait on the steps of the threshold, until sleep came to calm my despair and cover my solitude. And it is there that he found me and took me in his arms to console me, and when I awoke I was in his very bed. He smiled at me like an attentive and happy mother that has found her lost child again.
