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".

Poetry

05/09. Let us pray so that death finds us praising God with true poetry and adoring him with pure love.

14/55. The final poetry of love and of knowledge appears in the silence of God. «Today I go to everyone, but who welcomes me and who listens to me? Tomorrow everyone shall come to me, but who shall I receive? And who shall I hear?», says the Lord of grace and love.

16/02. Do we no longer know how to recognize the tone of God's truth nor the language of holy poetry ? Would it not be because our wretched reason, our little intelligence and our assured mediocrity have stifled in us the voices of humility, inspiration and love, which do not deceive the true children of God?

19/01. The prophets have spoken to us of the substance and the essence of God, but we dissect their texts to discover in them history, morals, poetry or divination. Oh, stupid blindness of the intelligent and the scholars! Oh, self-satisfied mediocrity of the believers!

02/80'. The mad and holy poet who hears God and translates him. He blazes while lighting up the world and speaks of life to the rocks of the earth until he awakens them from their solitary death. His joy and his sorrow are incommunicable.

14/58. He sings himself in every one of his poets . He announces himself in every one of his prophets. He plays with himself in every one of his children. He praises himself in every one of his believers. He loves himself in every one of his saints. He knows himself in every one of his sages. He shines in every one of his sons.

06/23. Poets sing of the despair of the fallen God, but none of them provides the remedy for the evil that knocks us down. Artists are prodigal in admirable works, but none of them transports us to the living fire.

14/51. Poets and artists are lovers who do not consent to converse with God without signs and without witnesses, while sages and saints do. «Oh, extreme bashfulness of holy loves! Oh, sweet light of divine union!»

18/11. The poets and artists sing of lost beauty, but very few know that they are weeping for their repudiated Lord. «Evil IS NOT, but it remains as the casing of that which IS.»

23/28'. The poet who holds the morning star in his hands sings like a joyful little child. Those who hold only the mud of the world cry bitterly for their lost life.
