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".

God
04/48 . God is like a fixed, dry fire, hidden in a moving, humid one. He who discovers it possesses the mastery of life.
10/59'. God is like the water that brings together the universes, and like the fire that matures them.
05/21'. God is like a treasure buried in the earth that we trample on, and like a secret hidden in the rain that falls on our heads.
03/61' . There is no difference between the two faces of God except that between stone and stone, but one is dark and the other shines magnificently.
26/24-28. God is not a delirious abstraction of the human spirit, as the descriptions of some believers might have us believe. He is a living reality that is seen, smelled, touched, tasted and that gives imperishable life. Is that not sufficient and is it not marvellous? Someone said: «No-one has eve seen God », but we say: «Everyone sees God every day, but no-one recognizes him». Oh, stupor of the dazzling obviousness that no-one sees! Oh, too-cruel humour of the Perfect One who gleams! Oh, accursed stupidity of our proud malice that totally blinds us! Only the obviousness of life is not seen nor believed here below. It is true that the obviousness of death is not better understood. Everything we say about God and everything we think about him is false. Only that which God is and that which God does is true. God is not a hypothesis, he is an incandescent cloud, a translucent stone, a living reality for ever. There are imbeciles who attempt to prove with words the existence or non-existence of God . It is certainly the funniest thing in the world, or the saddest. How can you demonstrate water to fish if not by removing them from it momentarily? And how can you demonstrate light to men, if not by plunging them into darkness for a while?
