Title page for The Message Rediscovered, 1956
This section tries to be an introduction to the most important Cattiaux's work, The Message Rediscovered. So, we present the first five Books or chapters from this work and some forewords and introductory writings about The Message Rediscovered, 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"
The verses are arranged in two columns, for there are two men in us, the carnal man and the spiritual one, the left column generally giving the earthly meanings: moral, philosophical and ascetic; the right column giving the heavenly meanings: cosmologic, mystical and initiatory. Sometimes these verses are completed with a third one placed in the middle of the page, bringing together the two others in the alchemic meaning that unites heaven and earth, relating to the mystery of God, of creation and of man.

The Message Rediscovered :: Book 4
|
The stone which the builders rejected has
become the headstone of the pinnacle. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous
before our eyes.
DAVID |
|
O! That I be regenerated, that my spirit
be purified and sublimated, that the Spirit from above breathes in me, that
I see the divine fire!
EGYPTIAN PRAYER |
|
|
1. |
The admiration
and the study of the works of nature leads to the love and the knowledge
of God. |
1'. |
The black earth lying dormant.
The living light of the world.
The truly perfect red Saviour. |
|
|
2. |
The alternatives
of faith and doubt constitute the whole drama of our divine quest.
|
2'. |
Everything that distances itself
from nature leads to death, and everything that penetrates man ends in God. |
|
|
3. |
Abandonment to
the divine will, that is the difficult admission of our ignorance and impotence.
|
3'. |
Let us give and receive all
with detachment, in order to know the unity of men in God. |
|
|
4. |
The sage who loses
a friend is neither surprised nor sad because he has been alone with God
for a long time.
"True friends always remain united in the golden Lord."
|
4'. |
Love delivers us from solitude,
making us one with men on earth, and it leads us to knowledge, making us
one with God in heaven. |
|
|
5. |
We must examine
carefully all our earthly desires in order to understand that they are vain,
and that the love and the knowledge of God are the only desirable end. |
5'. |
The way of knowledge resides
in the confidence of love, which is the perfect faith in the power of the
Holy Spirit in action.
|
|
|
6. |
The knowledge of
good and evil caused the fall of the first god created.
|
6'. |
The study of nature and of
man leads to knowledge of the divine Universe. |
|
|
7. |
Imprisoned in death,
he can only be delivered by the part of him that has remained pure and free
in God. |
7'. |
The brightness of the stars
is hidden in the water that was used to bathe the leper. |
|
|
8. |
Knowledge of the
divine secret liberates one from the middle world. The new state of purity
shall be aware and more accomplished than the first. |
8'. |
She offers silver and gold,
the diamond and the ruby, but everyone rejects her hand because it is black.
|
|
|
9. |
Unrest is avoided
by making gifted, lively men participate in the public offices and in the
benefit of the nation. |
9'. |
The dead themselves teach the
saint, whom men stupidly reject from their darkened lives.
|
|
|
10. |
The righteous one
who is buried alive breaks all that opposes his resurrection.
|
10'. |
He who helps a man in distress
aids his own life. |
|
|
11. |
He who meditates
on the termination of everything acquires true science. The appearance is
unfortunate, but the fruit is golden and alive. |
11'. |
The triple life and the double
death engender the middle Universe.
Who shall anticipate the sharing out of the end of time?
|
|
|
12. |
The sage speaks
little, he observes everything and rarely acts. He knows the inanity of
everything that does not end in God.
|
12'. |
Wisdom consists of not prejudging
anything in the world, but considering that which transforms it, in order
to discover what it is.
|
|
|
13. |
Every man should
let his fellow men benefit from the gifts he has received from God, so that
he can participate in the general and particular deliverance of the mixed
Universe. |
13'. |
He who reads into souls is
truthful with everyone, but very few are at ease before him, for he denounces
the secret burdens of our darkened lives. |
|
|
14. |
All joy, all love
and all life are in the contemplation, in the knowledge and in the possession
of God.
"Let us show our faith in God through the truth of the Book that manifests
the light in our hearts."
|
14'. |
Those who have found the Unique
forget everything, just as they have forgotten themselves in everything.
"He who says a word to his Lord has earned his daily wage, but he who
hears a word from his Lord has earned his life."
|
|
|
15. |
All desolation,
all hate and all death are to be found in the worries of the world, in the
company of vulgar men and in exterior possession. |
15'. |
God is secretly longed for
by those who have lost him, because everything else always fails them. |
|
|
16. |
It is easy to impose
his law by force, it is difficult to propagate it by example.
|
16'. |
The law holds man back, duty
enhances him, servitude debases him, but love raises him up to God. |
|
|
17. |
Let us not scorn
any thought or any work of our father, for it is thanks to them that we
are alive.
"God's seer contemplates with amazement the cubic sea where the universes
of the divine dream appear and disappear."
|
17'. |
All is in body and in spirit.
All is below and all is above.
This lives and is transformed perpetually.
All is triple and double, and yet unique.
This rises and this falls.
All is female outwardly and male inwardly.
|
|
|
18. |
Truth lies in the
forsaken word of the ancient sages.
Who shall bring it out into the light of day? And who shall bury it again?
|
18'. |
The ancestor of the days smiles
at us through death, but remains nameless and faceless in eternity. |
|
|
19. |
God's sons are
sent by love to lead the men lost in the immobile gloom of death back to
their source.
To reject or kill one of these messengers is to send back God's forgiveness
and condemn oneself to exile for ever.
|
19'. |
God's sons are sent by love
to lead the men lost in the immobile gloom of death back to their source.
To reject or kill one of these messengers is to send back God's forgiveness
and condemn oneself to exile for ever.
|
|
|
20. |
Secret justice
wants men filled with God to be envied and persecuted by those that are
most needy of in him.
|
20'. |
Let us pray to the Lord that
he enlighten both our enemies and our friends, for if we must love everything
within God, we must dread everything outside of him. |
|
|
21. |
The sage teaches
the world in repose and silence.
The fool disturbs everything with his agitation and his screams.
|
21'. |
Let us meditate on God until
all reflection disappears and our light becomes one with him. |
|
|
22. |
Lord, grant us
the love and the knowledge so that we are able to endure without dying and
forgive our lamentable blindness!
|
22'. |
Let us discreetly help those
that suffer, in order to avoid the thanks or the insults of the ignorant,
who think they acquire or lose something here below. |
|
|
23. |
Being unfair and
a liar with men, one acquires the goods of this world.
Being simple and upright before God, one obtains the eternal life of his
realm.
|
23'. |
When death dominates the world,
the holy life will be on the verge of appearing.
"That which is done in the light of day is not necessarily accomplished
in the open air."
|
|
|
24. |
The proud one is
vomited by the entire Universe.
He remains alone buried in the dead mud
|
24'. |
outside
Death. Pride. Ignorance .
inside
Mare. Occultum. Igneum. |
|
|
25. |
The general mixture
was produced by the minute interruption of the contemplation of God by man,
who wanted to know the Nothing and the Everything, by eating the fruit mixed
with death.
|
25'. |
Before the beginning everything
lay in the repose of the hard gloom of death.
Fire, on awakening in the water, ordered the chaos, and the four elements
engendered the living spirit of the Universe. |
|
|
26. |
Thus was born the
middle Being, by the way of the fall of a fragment of the luminous Being
into the dark non-being.
|
26'. |
The hot and the dry enlivened
within the young light of God, and the cold and the wet manifested it outside;
seven times the interior fire divided the Unique, and the stars appeared
according to their rank. |
|
|
27. |
The separation
and the reunion shall be accomplished by the assembling of the living parts
and by the rejection of the dead portion.
Accomplishment and perfection shall de brought about by the concentration
of the light and through the ultimate marriage of heaven and earth.
|
27'. |
Finally, all rested in the
perfect sun.
Thus, the divine light manifested its noble origin.
God contemplated himself in man and gave him his soul. He then advised them
not to try to know their limits, in order to remain immortal.
|
|
|
28. |
Love shall achieve
total deliverance; those who
are deprived of it shall remain in death.
|
28'. |
No-one could be able to reach
God without passing through the universal holy Mother. |
|
|
29. |
God attracts that
which resembles him and rejects that
which is alien to him.
He could only unite himself with a thing that is perfectly purified.
|
29'. |
He who truly loves has no narrow-mindedness;
that is why he is hated by the mediocre.
|
|
|
30. |
The variety of
the mixture of one part of the Being
with the non-being produces the hierarchy of creatures from heaven to hell.
|
30'. |
He who possesses the holy light
is complete and alive like his heavenly Father and his earthly mother. |
|
|
31. |
The Being buries
itself and resurrects itself for his own knowledge and for his own perfection.
|
31'. |
The first sage to recognise
God had no books.
Nature taught him and he helped nature.
|
|
|
32. |
Friend of God,
instructed in his work.
Dedicated to God, searching for him in himself.
Artist, making holy nature appear.
Healer, soothing his brothers.
Instructor, leading men towards their perfection.
Producer, patiently accomplishing the work necessary for life.
Peacemaker, at peace with his fellow men, maintaining order in his house.
|
32'. |
"Let us revere our divine
teachers as the most beautiful images of God here below."
Our life in this world is a perpetual game of disguises, sometimes attractive
and other times repulsive, comical or tragic, which puts each person's perspicacity
to the test.
Happy is he who discovers, under the outer shell of the shadow, the triumphant
nakedness of the intangible Lord!
|
|
|
33. |
All sadness comes
from the importance that one attributes to
oneself and to others.
All joy comes from the trust one has in God.
|
33'. |
Men can well forget themselves
in God, because he himself had no fear in forgetting himself in mankind.
|
|
|
34. |
Misfortune came
from the abuse of the freedom that God gave
us. Happiness shall be found again through the observance of the laws he
gave us. |
34'. |
It is by passing through hideous
death that we shall attain once more the sublime life of the Perfect.
"The water of heaven and the light of God shall certainly make us germinate." |
|
|
35. |
Spiritual and bodily
evil appears through the diminishing of
the pure Being that subsists within us and by the enlargement of the impure
non-being that hems us in from all sides.
|
35'. |
The blaze of the world shall
precede the benediction and the coming of the Lord, but how many will be
prepared to confront the storm of fire? Those who have eaten that which
is incombustible. |
|
|
36. |
Spontaneous prayer,
solitary repose, profound meditation, simple food and measured movement
sustain the soul, spirit and body of the sage. |
36'. |
The centre of the Universe
lies in the heart of man, but in order to free it, it is first of all necessary
for the free spirit to come to the aid of the spirit imprisoned by darkness. |
|
|
37. |
The sages, friends
of God, possess the perfection of
the world in one single thing despised by everyone.
|
37'. |
It is the blessing of God that
sends the water of life, and it is his love that embodies the holy fire. |
|
|
38. |
The higher the
climb, the greater the risk of falling. Let us therefore always set our
sights on the Lord and not look behind.
|
38'. |
Let us accept the failures
that bring us closer to God and let us mistrust the successes that maintain
us in death. |
|
|
39. |
The Being and non-being
are the poles of the all, between which the mixtures of the mixed Universe
appear.
|
39'. |
The woman, who has brought
death to the world, is destined to erase it in man, with the aid of God.
|
|
|
40. |
Darkness conceals
light.
Evil covers good, and death masks life.
|
40'. |
There is nothing in the world
that is not stained with mud, except for the glorious clothes of the Lord
in heaven. |
|
|
41. |
The most distant
point from God is a complete absence
of God, and the closest point to God is a total presence of God.
The points in between form the graduated Universe.
|
41'. |
All that is within must join
with that which is outside, and all that is outside must join with all that
is within, to engender the sun of the glorious resurrection. |
|
|
42. |
When the first
separation is made, nothing shall subsist but the Being and the non-being,
which shall be rejected.
When the second separation is accomplished, the united Being shall remain
there, which shall be exalted.
|
42'. |
Let us think of God at the
moment of death and we shall be with him at the time of life, for the ultimate
perfection and for the utmost multiplication. |
|
|
43. |
When we die, we
shall wake up in God and remember our
life as an absurd dream.
|
43'. |
Let us rip open the worlds
and bring together their light in the sun made of stone.
"The Lord's very heavy ruby."
|
|
|
44. |
It is more effective
to vanquish the world by
confronting it than to not be vanquished by avoiding it. But both victories
have their own recompense.
|
44'. |
One can expect anything of
a rebel, of a murderer, even of a madman. One can expect nothing of a man
who is mediocre. |
|
|
45. |
All habits lead
to death.
The purring and the sighing of the cloisters are as much
to be feared as the temptations of the world.
|
45'. |
He who looks at the heaven
for too long lets his food burn, and he who only sees the earth forgets
its purity. |
|
|
46. |
The natural sages
have established societies, religions
and arts. Let us bow before them, just as they kneel before God.
|
46'. |
The sons of the Lord are the
brethren of the eternal sun; they already shine with the splendour of the
celestial jewels and possess the density of purified gold. |
|
|
47. |
White in black
and red in white, the whole creation is present here.
|
47'. |
He who knows the Mother delivers
man and penetrates up to God. |
|
|
48. |
God is like a fixed,
dry fire, hidden in a moving,
humid one.
He who discovers it possesses the mastery of life.
|
48'. |
The sage speaks and is silent
in the same instant.
He discovers all, but vilifies nothing. |
|
|
49. |
God is incomprehensible
to all others but himself.
Science operates externally.
Knowledge accomplishes all within.
|
49'. |
When I think of him my heart
merges into the water and my spirit flies in his immensity, but the weight
of love fixes me in the peace of the secret centre. |
|
|
50. |
The study of transmutations
is the beginning and the
end of wisdom.
"Who shall make give solidity to the middle spirit of heaven and earth?"
|
50'. |
The sperm is the most concentrated
and pure part of the body. The germ is the most perfect and fixed portion
of the sperm. |
|
|
51. |
We must humbly
recognize the law of the world and shape our life according to the wisdom
of God, who has established everything for our final perfection.
|
51'. |
Water is unique in the whole
Universe, but it15 is different in each creation, of which man is the most
accomplished. |
|
|
52. |
It is by studying
the work that one succeeds in knowing the master that has made it. |
52'. |
The truth rests in the interior
of each piece of earth. |
|
|
53. |
It is the duty of
each one of us to imitate God and
to separate the true from the false.
|
53'. |
The spirit manifestly enlightens
the purified man, since the unique Splendour has lived in us since the beginning. |
|
|
54. |
The greatest evil
is like God's greatest
oversight, and the greatest good is comparable to his greatest presence.
|
54'. |
It is better not to be taught
by God than to persist in not hearing him.
"Rest and you shall be roused, empty yourself and you shall be filled."
|
|
|
55. |
Misfortune is a
corrective that has no purpose for him
who goes towards God via the shortest path.
He experiences voluntarily, through his thoughts, all the joys and sufferings
of men.
He has immense goodwill towards God, and puts his trust totally in him.
|
55'. |
He who possesses love and knowledge
acts without sinning, for he co-operates with the power of the Lord, who
is total purity and strength in the life that is eternal and free.
"Perfect humility cannot go without total poverty, and holy love cannot
appear without both of them."
|
|
|
56. |
Work dedicated
to the search for God alone brings deliverance from the bonds of the world. |
56'. |
The word of life comes from
knowledge through the channel of love.
|
|
|
57. |
No creature can
be preferred to God, even if that creature bears God within itself.
|
57'. |
From the total and hidden God
emanates the visible and perfect Being. |
|
|
58. |
It is wiser to
obey the divine will that knows us, than
to try to escape from the law we do not understand.
|
58'. |
The failures of the world wisely
lead us back into God's path.
"What has never been entirely lost could not be totally forgotten."
|
|
|
59. |
The impatient man
displays his ignorance;
he who can wait sees his desires fulfilled.
|
59'. |
The scythe of time separates
all truth, but it is the secret fire that makes it evident and matures it. |
|
|
60. |
The thousands and
thousands of universes that
submerge us are like the millionth part of a drop of divine blood.
The most minute atom contains inconceivable worlds. Thus, the Universe is
in God, and God is in the Universe.
|
60'. |
It is better to look into oneself
and remain silent.
O, germinative light!
O, so heavy fruit of the sun!
O, secret marriage of identical opposites!
O, fruitful splendour of the unique beauty!
|
|
|
61. |
God, through nature,
effortlessly remakes everything
that men think up to destroy with great difficulty.
Thus, God, through nature, subtly teaches the clear-sighted observer.
|
61'. |
From "one total",
of which there are five, via "one secret", of which there are
four, is made "a living one", of which there are three. Male and
female in two that engender the "one victor", which is the dot
in the circle. |
|
|
62. |
The glory of the
world makes man sad and vain; it
is a smoke that blinds the most clear-sighted. He who collects it changes
his life for the wind.
|
62'. |
The glory of God is a cloud
that enlightens and gives life to he who attains it.
O benediction!
|
|
|
63. |
Spirits go up and
come down to wash the earth of its stains, so that God can come and live
on it once more. |
63'. |
He has left death and fixed
himself in the glorious sun.
O redemption! |
|
|
64. |
He who puts his
trust in God acquires peace of mind
and heart, which renders the tribulations of the world indifferent.
|
64'. |
Those who know how to go naked
draw from the treasure of God.
O purity!
|
|
|
65. |
He who stands above
praise and reproach has
vanquished the present world, for he already communes with God.
|
65'. |
The gentleness of the fire
makes the source of the stars spring up.
O germination!
|
|
|
66. |
It is God alone
that supplies protection and
consolation, and everything fails at the moment of death if he is absent
from us.
|
66'. |
The purity of water carries
the breath of life beyond death.
O transfiguration! |
|
|
67. |
Those who despise
the teachings of the ancient sages
heap madness upon ignorance and provoke the death of everyone.
|
67'. |
The path of deliverance is visible
everywhere in this world.
O fertilizing rain! |
|
|
68. |
The work of the
world is illusory and of little
benefit, but time dedicated to the search for God is never lost for anyone.
|
68'. |
Faith draws close the marvel
of the world.
Patience brings it to light.
Love multiplies its virtue.
|
|
|
69. |
Detachment from
created things is the condition of
God's love.
|
69'. |
He who is in God recognizes
easily the unity of the Universe. |
|
|
70. |
That
which appears impossible at the start seems easy
at the end.
That which is hard and dead shall become supple and living once more.
|
70'. |
Let us pray to
God to allow us to hear, see and savour that which is in him. |
|
|
71. |
The lack of knowledge
of natural laws sinks man into the
disorder and pain of a useless revolt.
The observance of this universal teaching frees his life from the bonds
of death.
|
71'. |
Who shall become once more a
pupil of nature and a child of God, so that the water of heaven and of earth
deliver our life and make us like the holy Mother, and then like the truly
holy and truly perfect Son and Father?
|
|
|
72. |
There is a hidden
sense and a clear word. God shall
open up understanding to him who is simple, loving and faithful.
|
72'. |
Who shall seize the brightness
that ascends to the heaven? And who shall fix the light that descends over
the earth? |
|
|
73. |
To scold an ignorant
scholar is to make
an enemy of him and sink him in his error for ever, for he reasons about
everything, he explains mysteries and unveils the Scriptures, but in truth
possesses nothing, not even the outer crust of things.
|
73'. |
He who clings to the outer
layer of things perceives nothing but death.
He who discovers the essence of the Universe attains eternal life.
"The repose of wisdom means emerging from death and never having to
enter it again."
|
|
|
74. |
It is better to
act by example without wanting
to convince anyone: thus everyone can become converted without appearing
to give in to anyone.
|
74'. |
To love creation, to penetrate
it and to remain silent: such is the wisdom of the sage, and such is the
prudence of the saint.17 |
|
|
75. |
How can we believe
what the saints see in us, when we do
not hear what happens within ourselves?
|
75'. |
The central fire currently
lives in the heavenly water, under the veil of the foreign land. |
|
|
76. |
Let us distance
ourselves from madmen, abandon them to
their contradictory agitation. Misfortune shall instruct them for free and
calm them for a long time.
|
76'. |
It is at the moment of conflict
with oneself or with others that it is necessary, above all, to resort to
God, for he is the unalterable love and peace. |
|
|
77. |
Let us search for
him who moves little, who speaks
little and who meditates a lot.
God enlightens him and delivers him for ever.
|
77'. |
Those who flaunt holiness do
not always possess it within themselves, because in this world what is outside
is rarely identical to what is inside.
|
|
|
78. |
Let us not respond
to mockery, to vulgarity nor to insult.
Let us pity in our hearts him who shows himself inferior to love.
|
78'. |
Let us place our enemies in
the hands of God, so that he may instruct them like he does us, through
wretchedness, mourning, sickness, old age, abandonment and death. |
|
|
79. |
The wisest reply
can provoke the greatest fury, and the best teaching can engender the worst
madness.
|
79'. |
Let us devote our thoughts
and our actions to God, so that they do not cause harm to anyone. |
|
|
80. |
God lives and waits
in each one of us.
It is enough to die to the world and to oneself to hear him and to see him
at once.
|
80'. |
Fire and water shall deliver
the Universe from the gloom of death and shall glorify it until the living
jewel of the first and final unity. |
|
|
81. |
Death separates
that which is bad and brings together all that is good, but it requires
the aid of heavenly life. |
81'. |
When the body is vanquished,
the spirit appears pure and free, and the holy soul unites them in God for
ever. |
|
|
82. |
Some unknown sages
possess the holy and mysterious land of God.
|
82'. |
No-one listens to them, and
now they barely speak any more. |
|
|
83. |
He who sees and
loves God through all the appearances of the world is the only one who is
not astonished and does not suffer when everything vanishes.
|
83'. |
The moon and the sun shall
re-emerge from the sea at the end of the long night, and I shall praise
the secret of my Lord in the eternity of his magnificent gift. |
|
|
84. |
The man who helps
nature gives rise to life.
When he tortures it, he engenders death.
|
84'. |
The end shall see the pure
fire transform the water of the world into its proper nature. |
|
|
85. |
He who admits his
ignorance, his impotence and his faults has no competitor to fear, and God
can speak to him without hindrance.
|
85'. |
He who starts out from what
it is, arrives quickly at what it shall be.
And he who accepts all with love, soon recognizes the miraculous aid of
the Lord's hidden Providence.
|
|
|

The body-spirit has neither
a beginning nor an end. When it divides into two, universes are born in

death and descends from the heaven of life by the power of love that unites
all purity in God. |

The spirit of truth
is a gift from God; the study of natural laws and the meditation of holy
books develop it until the incomprehensible becomes understandable.

nothing is to disturb the order of the world, and to read this without meditating
on it is to sow and not to water.

If we do not find the God who
lives hidden within us, we shall never know he who remains free in the centre
of the Universe.

He cultivates the
fecund land and abandons those that are cunning to their proud ignorance.

He who tries to convince no-one
fears no dispute. |

Let us keep in our
hearts the memory of those who have taught us to love God.
Let us evoke them with the Father.
Let us bless them with the Living One.
Let us pray to God that he fills them with his love in the eternity of the
great alternating breath.

Our life is eternally made pregnant
by God.
Who shall make him appear before the term of death and resurrection of the
great world?

The saint lives
on earth as if in prison.
The hour of death marks the end of his exile.

He who smiles at the desolation
of misfortune soon sees the light of God appear. |

Each one of us forges
a false image of the world and vainly struggles to make it coincide with
the true one.
"Education is appropriate for everyone, but instruction is only profitable
for some and revelation is useful for only one."

God has manifested nature and
created man.
Man gives birth to nature.
Nature gives birth to man.
Thus, nature and man reproduce God.

|
The truth comes from God. Man is free
to
believe or to persist in incredulity.

It is God who reveals profound and hidden
things, who knows what is in the darkness, and the light remains with him.
