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".

Other symbols
Ancestor, Art, Artist, Beauty, Blessing, Centre, Circle, Colors, Creation, Death, Dew, Elements, Faith, Fall, Fire, Food, Fruit, God, Gold, Goodwill, Heaven, Holy earth, Joy, Knowledge, Ladder, Light, Look, Love, Magnet, Metamorphose, Mother, Mountain, Mud, Name, Nature, Needs, Place, Poetry, Prayer, Purity, Quest, Realization, Redemption, Regeneration, Saint, Salt, Salvation, Science, Stone, Symbol, Temple, Tree, Vision, Water.

Saint and Sage

25/27. The life of the sage comes out of the death of the saint just as the life of the butterfly comes out of the death of the caterpillar, which becomes a chrysalis, and then, a miracle of resurrection. Likewise our lives shall come out again of the chaos of the dark lysis where the divine mystery of God's creation is renewed. Let those who know how to reflect look into this dark mirror!

25/18. The saint disembodies himself from the death of the world. The sage reincarnates himself in the life of God. Who is the ignorant one who sets them in opposition? Who is the expert who unites them?

23/77. The saint binds the soul and the spirit in God and overcomes the second death. The sage binds the soul, the spirit and the body in God and overcomes the first and the second death.

26/13. There are two ways back to God: either the dissolution in free and universal life, or the coagulation in it. The first way is taught by many and accomplished by a few. The second way is taught by a few and achieved by very few. He who separates them is ignorant. He who unites them is wise.

31/41. Did the light of life not come out of the union of heaven and earth? And are the two ways of God not miraculously united in it alone? The profane are ignorant of both, the half-instructed separate them and set them opposite one another; only the sages assemble them and unite them in the unity of God.
