The Message Rediscovered -Book XXIII

BOOK XXIII

	They shall come from the Orient and the Occident, from the North and from the South, those that shall sit at table in God's kingdom. JESUS
	The darkness shall change into dawn, you shall be full of confidence and your wait shall not be in vain. JOB

UNE ÈRE VIT

THE UNITY

Natural needs have to be separated from the worship of God until they are absorbed in him effortlessly. Thus we shall avoid the division of the principal sin and its multiplication into particular sins, which end up discouraging people from the faith and the love of God.

We must allow for a certain tolerance towards ourselves and towards others, just as the Lord does with everyone, but we must keep most alert in our search for and frequenting of the Perfect One, for it is he alone who shall deliver us from the traps and temptations of the world if we ask him ceaselessly.

A true believer who cries to his Lord for help while swimming through the mud is worth more than a hundred thousand hypocrites who pretend to be pious and who have made their permanent home in their hidden dunghill.

Let us pray to our beautiful Lord without becoming discouraged and let us ask him for aid and assistance, for he shall keep us away from sin and, in the end, he shall even prevent evil from approaching us. It is a marvel that is easy for him.

In any case we have to imitate artificially the virtues engendered by the love of God, for we would prevent love from being born and from growing and we would remain prisoners of hypocrisy, which is worse than the greatest impiety.

Thus, it is better to pray to the Lord in our hearts with all our weaknesses, for in this way they shall become erased little by little; however by trying to eliminate them by ourselves, we shall do nothing but repress them and nourish them in the mud of malodorous sin.

let him go boldly into the world provided that he remains secretly in contact with his Lord in his heart; for when he has recognized, through personal experience, the void, the vanity and the mortal agony of the world, he shall come back cured forever to the bosom of the Unique One; and his Lord shall welcome him in a kindly way. This one shall never again feel like going outside and seeing what is happening there.

He who can remain outside the world does equally well, on the condition that he does no violence to himself, for, in that case, it is an enraged demon that thrives inside the skin of a sheep, and the last fall shall be worse than the first on the day of judgement, when the outer layers shall burst into pieces and the inside of all beings and all things shall be manifested.
"Lord, deliver us from the triumphant stupidity of the imbeciles; deliver us from the company of unyielding rebels; deliver us from the blind and beatific satisfaction of the mediocre."

If, by accident, an impious person or a hypocrite has a quick look at the Book, he releases it as though he has burned himself and pushes it far away from him.

Any old band of hypocrites or fakers can establish themselves and thrive under the cover of the holy Scriptures, without them being devalued as a result.

If a sincere believer happens to read some lines of the work, he does not want to put it down again, and he takes it home with him so as to get to know it in its entirety.
If a mediocre one opens the Book, he lays it down sniggering stupidly and looks around him for an opinion that reassures him in his death.

But many simple people who cannot discern the good tool from the bad workmen condemn everything en bloc and withdraw forever from the faith and love of God. The fate of the imbeciles is certainly not enviable, but that of the deceivers is inexorably inscribed in the stench of hell.

Each word of the Book can be held up to ridicule by the ignorant. What a punishment for them! They do not even know it. They move towards the abattoir with a black veil over their head and they mock those who call them to the freedom of life.

It is only madmen who exchange their life for wretched and transient things, for the price of a fantastic job in this world. There are no longer any sages who exchange their death for eternal life, for the price of an attentive repose here below.

Oh, Merciful One! come to our help in spite of ourselves, since our stupidity stops us even from shouting to you. Oh, All-Powerful One! awake in us faith in immortality and orientate our hearts towards your holy face so that we are reengendered in your purity and in your incorruptibility.

He who hands over his terrestrial life to God to obtain eternal life is a saint who is wise. He who hands over his eternal life to God to obtain God is a sage who is holy.

He who has recognized the unity of life does not feel ashamed to help an earthworm, for he knows beyond doubt that he aids himself by helping anything that lives.

Open your hand, open your spirit, open your heart, and life shall bathe you all over. Close your hand, close your spirit, close your heart, and death shall hem you in on all sides.

How can we not madly desire the outer layers of things, which are the goods of this world? But too much work, too many lies and too many crimes are necessary to acquire them, and when one has obtained them, they are like smoke that vanishes into the night.

10'

He who exploits his fellow men by deceiving them, how much he despises them, but how much he despises himself, and what sadness and what solitude also! It is even better to die, and that is what they eventually do, for there are many ways to kill oneself through despair and through disgust at oneself.

It is enough to make you an idiot while looking for the secrets of the world, but it is enough to make you become really mad while running after God's secret. Oh, Lord, give us back the purity, the incorruptibility and the peace of your garden of Eden.

11'

Purify our hearts with the fire of purgation and fertilize us with your heavenly love, by means of your wayfaring grace, oh Magnanimous life-giver!

Here we are like enraged beasts that rip themselves apart in the quagmire into which we have fallen, and the good have their throats slit cheek by jowl with the wicked in the great abattoir of death. Who would not be terrified every day of his life that he has been spared?

12'

Many are like corks floating on the sea of this world and are also, unfortunately, like dead pebbles in the sea of God. But some are like steadfast rocks in the sea of this world and are also, fortunately, like fish that swim in the sea of God.

Who can persuade stupidity and rebellion when combined? Who can vanquish meanness of the soul united with meanness of the spirit? Who can hope for anything from maliciousness in the service of avarice? Who can obtain grace in the face of obtuse prejudice nourished by morose resentment? The Lord can change everything if he so wishes in a twinkling of an eye! He is all-powerful to make the heavenly seed buried in the tomb germinate.

13'

He who truly loves God in his heart is not an idiot, nor a rebel, nor vile, nor cunning, nor miserly, nor stubborn, nor full of hatred. It is up to him to flee from the wicked and diligently seek his fellow man, so as to love him as he loves himself in the unity of the unique Lord of love and life.
"Miracle! the rebels come to God in their hearts when the hypocrites no longer condemn them in the world."

He who does not know how to cry over the misfortune of others like over his own, he who does not know how to rejoice over the happiness of others like over his own, and he who does not know how to laugh at his misadventures like he laughs at those of others cannot be taught by God, for he is still separated from the unity of the Unique One.

14'

We are not alone and abandoned in this world, we only need to listen to the voice that whispers in our hearts and to examine attentively that which comes to us and that which distances itself from us, silencing our personal wishes and judgements.

We shall not hide from our children that they are clothed in animal skin and neither shall we hide from them the appetites and needs of the Beast, and we shall present them as natural functions indispensable to the maintenance of incarnate life, functions of which no-one should be proud or ashamed, for they are transient.

15'

Thus, the Angel, when he is no longer subject to the Beast, shall be able to remain firmly turned towards the Lord, and the Beast, when he is no longer held in contempt by the Angel, shall feel neither rebelliousness nor vice, and the Lord shall be able to free us without a foolish struggle and without tearing up any part of our fallen and provisional compound.

And above all, we shall not mix them with the mysteries of God, in order to avoid shameful repressions, delirious complexes, wretched deviations, unanimous hypocrisy and the dreadful mess that results from the idiotic confusion of the Angel and the Beast, which we must clearly separate and not ridicule by denying the one and demeaning the other at the same time.

16'

For the Beast shall grow weaker in the darkness of the world, and the Angel shall grow stronger in God's light, and the final separation shall be accomplished without tearing and ripping. Many shall return to God when the men of God no longer concern themselves with anything but the things of God, that is, when they leave the things of the Beast to the Beast and those of the world to the world.

The sages accomplish everything in God, for there is no longer any separation for them, but this is done naturally, without violence, as when heaven unites with earth in a holy way to procreate all things.
He who truly loves God never hides from him.

17'

Who shall understand the liberation provided by the intelligent and humble acceptance of our fallen state? Who shall understand that we must first look towards our Lord before trying to organize or even contain artificially the mud of sin in which we lie dying?

Only these who have first separated can join together, for purification is accomplished in separation and union is achieved in purity.

18'

One day, the Angel shall return to rouse the Beast purified by fire, and the whole compound shall revive in the glorious and incorruptible unity of the Unique One.

God shall dissolve us and shall coagulate us once more in purity. Woe betide those who shall have chosen to install themselves in the quagmire of death, for this time they shall never again emerge from it.

19'

Never more shall there be repose or happiness for them in the perpetually dying and perpetually renascent stench of hell.

No, no, no, there is no peace, no stability and no organization possible in this world mixed with death. Those who claim the contrary are blind and stupid. Their intelligence and their courage are powerless to put in order the rottenness of death. Do they not see it clearly?

20'

This fallen world is no more than a small sample of hell, and yet nobody can rest in peace during the period of his short life. What, then, must hell be like, where God's blessing is totally absent?

Yes, surely, the blessing of the Lord shall wash us of the sin of death and his spirit shall raise us in our tombs, and we shall praise his holy Name forever.

21'

First of all, should we not burn the aggressive stench that binds us and poisons us from everywhere? For it is that which is an obstacle to the union of divine love.

We can install ourselves in this transient world, but only like travellers who take shelter in a waiting room.

22'

The final goal of humanity is not its installation in the world, it is its transfiguration and fixation in God.

Everything that is subject to fire is not God's, for God is the very essence of fire.

23'

Oh, density of pure gold in repose!
Oh, heat of pure metal in fusion!
Oh, sparkle of the volatilised splendour!

There are too many literary hacks writing about the mysteries of the Unique One, and not enough enlightened saints and not enough operative sages.

24'

Heavenly things and earthly things add to one another or subtract from one another. Only the Lord can divide them and mix them without confusion and without harm.

Some die of hunger in this world because they do not know how to lie, to steal or to kill, and others are showered with riches to the point of absurdity because they serve the destructive, homicidal demon. Likewise, in the future life, some shall be showered with heavenly goods to the point of absurdity because they shall have faithfully served their Lord, and others shall burst in the desolation of death with the demons they shall have followed like imbeciles. It is a thing that shall astonish many shrewd and simple ones.

25'

Is not every word of our language like a blasphemy before the word of the Highest?
Is not every breath from our mouth like a pestilent exhalation from hell before the purity of the incorruptible one?
Is not every gesture of our hands like the grimace of an ape before the ART of the Most-Knowledgeable One? And however, what splendour remains in us and waits underneath the mud of death! If only it could finally awake and make us the heirs to the glory of God!

Many who serve the Lord with their lips and not with their heart have placed their self-love above God's truth. Thus, they exclude from the churches those who scold them instead of becoming converted. Thinking of saving themselves, they plunge into hypocrisy and into the worship of their own person.

26'

If you now put a high price on that which you formerly rejected for a mouthful of bread, you are accursed in your intelligence, in your heart and in your goods, for you enrich the dead and you let the living ones around you die of hunger.

Oh, rich imbeciles, shall you not recognize that which is beautiful, that which is good and that which is true, when the thing is born before your blind eyes?
"What indeed attracts you is the money that things represent, and not the thing itself."

27'

Miserly and stupid people, you shall remain sunk forever in the mud of death, for the weight of your polluted money drags you down, and you stick to it, while it does not stick to you.

The Lord having begun to flow in me, we sang together a little song, like the wind does in burgeoning leaves on a spring morning.

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.

Oh, my Lord, rejoice in me and all shall thus be well, for your joy submerges all anxiety and even makes one laugh at death.

29'

Purge, water, fertilize, bind, shine, flow.
Cook, separate, unite, fix, sow, praise, rest.

He who has understood the Book does not explain anything to anyone, but he can certainly manifest something good and communicate something excellent.

30'

The true sage does not make speeches in the world. He digs, he waters his earth and he tastes the fruit of heaven and earth, which is the only true wealth.

An intelligent nation honours gifted and instructed men and employs them for great things.
An imbecilic nation despises them and lets them stagnate in poverty and in exile.

31'

The general decomposition finally pulls people down to earth with the mediocre who lead it, and the sages emerge once more from the chaos to reestablish God's law in the heart of the small protected group.

If we are tired, let us rest in God, and if we are bored, let us look for the mystery of the Unique One. Thus, God shall be our guide and our support at all times.

32'

If the Book does not make us touch the Lord of love and of life, then the Book can be thrown onto the dunghill with all the literature that raves in the void.

Who shall spend his life being grateful for his condition so as always to be helped by God, the unique Living One?

33'

Who shall tie the words of the Book around his neck? Who shall display them in his house? Who shall make them germinate in his heart?

Who does better: he who hides his wisdom, or he who hides his ignorance?

34'

He who does violence to nothing inside and outside sees everything grow in him and around him without effort.

Oh, believers of all religions, of all races and of all nations, recognize yourselves as the children of the unique God and support yourselves amid the growing tide of the impious.

35'

Let us accept our making a mistake and let us be able to recognize it. Let us learn to correct ourselves and let us know how to keep on the way without violence, and God shall teach us everything we wish to know.

It is useless to run after the author, we would find nothing but the void that dwells in an idiot in God, which would teach us nothing. The Book is sufficient for all works and for all rest.

36'

Let us strive to be the instruments of Providence, which nourishes the sages, the saints and the simple ones, for it is an easy way of participating in the growing blessing of the Unique One.

How could those that have transformed the formidable revelation of the holy Scriptures into hypocritical, muddy morality recognize right now, under the symbolic figures of their faith, the incredible truth of the unique God and Principle?

37'

There they are like illiterates who fiercely defend the books that none of them can read, but which all know through the images that illustrate them, and there they are who blindly reject him who has learned to read once more and wants to make known to them the means to their rescue.

These do well in transmitting blindly the mysteries of which they no longer know the foundation, but how can they judge the truth of a Scripture for which they do not have the key?

38'

Of course, God punishes them for their conceited pretentiousness. What amazing humour to have his treasure thus guarded and transmitted by blind fanatics, to offer it in secret to those he loves and who venerate him in their heart!

Some among them who think themselves more enlightened than the rest say of the Book: "It is a dream", for, living in a dream, they take the dream for reality and, inversely, reality for the dream. Who can wake them from their mortal drowsiness before the staggering judgement of the end?

39'

A good corrective has indeed brought the rebellious woman back onto God's holy way. The absurdity of suffering shall perhaps one day lead the reasonable ones of the faith to no longer rave in spirit! Such a miracle is easy for the Lord; we have an example of it before our eyes.

The stump has flowered again, the flower has given its scent and the fruit has matured heavily without anyone suspecting it.
"Who shall eat the gift of God? And who shall be penetrated by his splendour?"

40'

God jokes well with a poor idiot without instruction and without diplomas, so why would he not want to converse seriously with intelligent ones full of learning and laden with qualifications?

The denomination "right-thinking one" has become synonymous with hypocrite and with mediocre one in the world. Let us make the name "believer" become synonymous with free man detached from everything in the love of God.

41'

Before boiling the dirty linen, one has to soak it, otherwise, one cooks the filth instead of removing it, and the final state is worse than the initial one, for the dirt is fixed in the fabric and can no longer be removed.

Let our quest and our life be firstly for ourselves, and thus we shall be neither misunderstood nor disappointed by the mediocre, we shall be neither deceived nor bullied by the powerful, and we shall not be misled by the world.

42'

There are saints according to the world who repress their instinctive nature and there are sages according to the world who follow their instinctive nature. There are saints according to God who follow their intuitive nature and there are sages according to God who embody their heavenly nature. The last of these are the only survivors!

Little intelligent ones, rest a moment, look at great nature, contemplate the great ART, before death disperses you as playing cards are shuffled. Thus, your spirits and your souls shall open to the mystery of creation and to the love of the creator and shall fix themselves in him forever.

43'

Do you seriously intend to replace with compliments the food, clothing and heating that have been lacking for those who have all their lives sought deliverance for everybody? Hypocrites, help rather those who freely search for their Lord here below while there is still time for them and for you.

How many have come out again of their tombs among all the sages and among all the saints in the world? And how many among them have not even entered them at all? The word of the latter is more precious than any other for the intelligent who seek beyond particular creatures.

44'

A few sages have guessed the beginning of the beginnings, but how many of them have conceived of it clearly? How many have embodied it visibly? How many have held it in their hands? How many have fixed it in their heart? How many have united themselves to it for eternal life?

Only rediscovered innocence can reconcile men with God, with nature and with themselves.

45'

Only the knowledge of God can save them from the alternation of life and death, if they so wish.

Let us leave the Book and be content with the thing which the Book speaks of, for it alone can content us definitively if we possess it in its integrity.

46'

Before being separated, earth and heaven formed just one single thing. Thus, by uniting them again, we shall form the unique thing of the beginning of the beginnings.

It is the joyous and peaceful possession of that which is, that which moves and that which rests that makes the enlightenment and happiness of the sage.

47'

The more we seek the approval of men, the less we shall obtain that from the Unique One.

Are you thinking of doing something good without the sun, without the moon, without the stars, without air, without water, and without earth? Then you are ignorant of agriculture, which is the science of God.

48'

There is nothing good in the whole Book, except for a few small insignificant sentences that everyone reads, but that nobody really understands or practises.

We have not written such a Book at such a time to then be inundated with trivial questions.

49'

Any wisdom that leads to hard labour is certainly the worst of madnesses.

Who teaches without profaning?
Who severs without judging?
Who lives the present?
Who sleeps in the storm?
Who makes rich without becoming poor?

50'

Who manifests heaven in himself?
W ho receives and who gives without measure?
Who acts without disturbing?
Who rests without extinguishing?
Who is one with the Unique One?

If we desire wealth, let us begin by giving from our poverty, and let us continue by giving from our superfluity.

51'

If we wish for security, let us begin by becoming humble, and let us continue by becoming invisible in everything.

If we desire power, let us begin by supporting some weak ones, and let us continue by protecting them all.

52'

If we wish for freedom, let us begin by not doing violence to the nature of other beings, and let us continue by letting our own nature repose in itself.

If we wish to acquire a good reputation, let us begin by saying good things about our friends, and let us continue by praising even our enemies.

53'

If we wish for happiness, let us begin by taking hold of all that is of the world, and let us continue by giving it up completely.

If we desire instruction, let us begin by studying a thousand things, and let us continue by studying a single thing.

54'

If we wish for holiness, let us begin by thinking of others, and let us continue by thinking only of God.

If we desire the arts, let us begin by training severely our spirit and our hands, and let us continue by letting them go freely.

55'

If we wish for wisdom, let us begin by looking at the world, and let us continue by looking into ourselves.

If we desire immortal science, let us begin by studying nature, and let us continue by imitating it very closely.

56'

Only the fact of a certain perfection allows one to attain great perfection and remain in it for eternity.

If you have found the unity of the Unique One, tear out the pages of the Book and let them fly away in the wind while humming a joyful song.

57'

If not, do not leave them day or night until they penetrate your understanding and until they lead you to the mud that neither wets nor stains anything.

The more we struggle, the more we sink in the world.
The more we rest, the better we shall float in heaven.

58'

It is not the work that counts, nor the worker, but the thing which the work and the worker speak of.

Let us not have the conceited pretension of monopolizing God for ourselves alone, for the Father is for all those who love him in their hearts, and not for those who profanely give sermons in the world.

59'

Each man and each woman is God's priest and priestess in their own home, for the conservation and transmission of the holy Scriptures and of their revealed mysteries.

How can the degenerate disciples of the master judge the love of the master for someone? And how can they admit to or exclude anyone from the love of the wise and holy master, if they do not know either the will or the secret love of the master?

60'

Their judgements have become derisory because their self-love has profanely substituted God's love. They have the keys to the kingdom in images but not in reality, and they do not tolerate that another receives them from God's hands without their approval.

We have taken up the habit of the charlatan, for the disinterested despise of the world is less difficult to bear than its interested admiration.

61'

The Book is like the ark that carries and transmits the secret of the Unique One. Many shall carry it, but few shall penetrate it.

The profession that allows us to live by helping others to live is a blessed profession, whatever it may be.

62'

The trade that allows us to live by threatening the life of others is an accursed profession, whatever it may be.

The bird charmer does not seize any of them, and that is why they all come to him without fear. Likewise, the sage apprehends no-one, and that is why everyone confides in him without distrust.

63'

The sage begins his work, but lets nature accomplish it in his place; thus, he works while resting, and everything works out for him effortlessly, for he obstructs nothing.

The mixture of elements that forms the multiple combinations of creation is like the mixture of playing cards that forms the multiple combinations of the game; and the elements return to the mass and are then combined once more, as the playing cards return to the pack and are redistributed without real increase or decrease, for neither profit nor loss exist for the immutable that IS.

64'

Magnificent Lord, who dwells in the holy land and who purifies it of the sin of death, invade me and inspire my spirit and my soul, so that I am submitted to your delivering grace and your fertilizing love, like all angelic creatures who sing your praises eternally, Oh Purest One, oh Most-Perfect One, oh Most-Gracious One, oh Most-Knowledgeable One, oh Most-Bounteous One, oh Gentlest One, oh Most-Loving One who IS.

The science of Satan does violence to beings and things and leads to slavery in abject death.

65'

The science of God perfects beings and things and leads to freedom in the sweet-smelling life.

65"

Each one can easily judge where the mortal complication of hell is, and where the vivifying simplicity of heaven is.

If we do not give up our works and ourselves, and if we do not become empty and free inside and out, there is no deliverance, here below or elsewhere, for anyone.

66'

Let us not cling on to anything or anyone, and we shall thus avoid the heavy burdens and the final drowning, for we shall float easily on the divine ocean where the Lord shall take us into his holy ark.

To accept a failure gladly is to prepare a victory already.

67'

Let us put everything and ourselves into God's hands and we shall be joyful and free.

The revelation of our God of light and life constitutes the basis of all religions and of all true philosophies taught by God.

68'

Just as the drunkard can no longer do without wine, the saint can no longer do without God, and the drunkenness of one and the other makes reasonable people smile.

Shame on you, blind clerics, because you have risen up proudly like a wall between God and men, instead of stooping humbly like a bridge before them!

69'

They have made a personal cheese from the universal milk of the holy Church, and they have installed themselves inside without worrying about the seekers, the faithful and the abandoned. The Lord observes them through the dark crust of sin.

Those who have goodwill in God and not in themselves shall work to reestablish the purity, simplicity, love and knowledge of the Church in their hearts and in their houses, without worrying about the prerogatives or the illusory sole rights of the shepherds full of pride.

70'

Those that God chooses and to whom he sends his Holy Spirit are necessarily superior to those that men elect in their councils, for those that see the light are above those that feel with their hands the darkness. Do we not understand that the gift received from God prevails over the lesson learned from men, and that the light of heaven accomplishes the Scripture here below?

The enormity of God's revelation can only be understood by the sons of God; the mediocre are irremediably excluded from it.

71'

Death shall be powerless against the one who has eaten God, for the light of life shall dwell in him forever.

Men may well exclude other men from their human organizations. Not one of them can exclude anyone from the love of God.

72'

Thus, we should not fear the judgement of men that is made in the world, and we should not doubt the love of God, who is patient even with those that have gone astray the most.

Let us give a large part of our lives to the Lord, and the Lord shall give us his own immeasurable part.

73'

The greatest prayer is to listen.
The greatest praise is to be silent.
The greatest meditation is to think no more.
The greatest action is to rest in God.

To love life is to help life and is to accept movement and change, which are inherent to life.

74'

The blow that strikes us today perhaps prepares us for the blessing that shall be showered upon us tomorrow. Who knows?

The prophets have no need of ready-made prayers, for the Spirit of God inspires them supernaturally.

75'

The stinking filth shall be destroyed by fire, and the dark filth shall be separated by water.

It is wrong to continually draw men's attention to their innumerable sins, for they become discouraged and abandon the religion that has become stupid through the fault of the mediocre and ignorant, well-intentioned in themselves and not in God.

76'

It is better to orientate the hearts of sinners towards the Lord, whose grace and love shall deliver them from their darkness more surely than all of their efforts put together. The trust in God is worth more than the trust in oneself for survival.

The saint binds the soul and the spirit in God and overcomes the second death.

77'

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

The end shall see the struggle of those that practice the science of God, which is integration of life, against those that practise the science of Satan, which is mortal disintegration.

78'

The makers of life shall be established in life, and the makers of death shall be driven back to death without remission. Let each one consider his work attentively, while there is still time to abandon bad actions.

The enemies of God fight against the temporal Churches, which are complicated, multiple, transient and particular.

79'

God's friends fight for the spiritual Church, which is simple, unique, eternal and universal.

79"

Thus, everyone works for the unity of the Unique One.

	I have struck down all the work of your hands, and you have not returned to me. HAGGAI
	Is it not God's will that people work for fire, and that nations tire themselves out for nothingness? HABAKKUK
