VU ET RENIÉ

THE SAVIOUR

The work of God is accomplished over time, and the light is the reward for the patient imitator.

We shall seek God, first with great weariness, and finally in great rest.

The admirable sage is he who strips the earth, places the seed and awaits the harvest.

It is the soul of the great world that shall deliver and receive the soul of man, with his particular seed.

Our thoughts and our steps are worthless if God does not approve of them.
It is he who directs them mysteriously through the joy or through the sadness of the spirit, through the plenitude or through the desolation of the heart, through the euphoria or through the suffering of the rough body.

When death invites the sage to take a step with her, he shall take two, and death shall soon find itself overtaken and alone.
"Oh mysterious and divine game of the forgetfulness and knowledge of oneself!"

The love of God, which brings about man's enlightenment, leads to unique knowledge.
All the rest is therefore like useless mud that conceals nothing but death.

We shall have to return everything to earth and heaven.
Let us only pray that this does not occur before we have voluntarily accomplished this sacrifice in ourselves.

Poor or rich, scorned or glorious, the intelligent and instructed man adores God without considering further that which surrounds him.

Let us pray to arrive at the death of the world, already dead to the world.

Genius manifests the unconscious call towards God through the pains and the darkness of exile.
Holiness is the voluntary offering of oneself in the joy of the return to the origin of life.
Wisdom is the detached possession of the Universe and of oneself.

He who abandons the exterior world, on his own impulse or through the blows of fate, finally conquers the interior world of grace, love and union.
"The repose that loves, that knows, that possesses and that is able."

The whole secret lies in wanting what one desires, and in desiring God until one no longer knows what one desires.

The movement that engenders creation adds nothing to and removes nothing from the Being.

The vanity of the world can only be understood by experiencing its mirages and by pondering its reverses.

Evil is like the exterior face of the total God, and good is like the interior Being in his flesh.

A great deal of study, much time, much pain, much love and much learning are needed to become simple and natural again, but it is then a simplicity that is known and retained.

Outside we shall find a thousand things to distract us, but we shall not discover a single one capable of making us truly content like inner peace.

The truth is naked and simple; men see it more or less clearly according to the purity, according to the love and according to the knowledge of each one.

10'

It is grace that saves the good that is in us.
It is love that makes it perfect, but it is knowledge that accomplishes the mysterious and ultimate union.

Those who come from God use the same language and transmit to one another the true teaching through the ages.

11'

The blessing of heaven shall multiply the generous one and enlighten the believer.

He who knows God easily tolerates being considered as ignorant. He remains in his joy and shows indulgence toward all beings.

12'

The sun can only live on a pure earth separated from all faeces.

Meditation first of all causes great vertigo, then immense disillusionment and solitude as poignant as death. Subsequently it leads to intense admiration for the Mother and to the dazzled love of the Father. Finally, it gives peace in the union that engenders the truly perfect Son.

13'

Let us get rid of all passion for the world and all attachment to it. Let us go deeper into death, as far as her dark abysses.
Let us purify our life until the primary light.
Let us magnetize God until he engenders in us the sun of perfection.

He who trusts in men is ignorant of all related to them and does not know God.
"Mediocrity is to expect everything from others and nothing from God or from oneself."

14'

It is in earthly abjection that we shall know holiness better, but it is only in heavenly glory that we shall fully reproduce God.

At present God neither judges nor condemns anyone, but we all remain indebted through our thoughts, our words and our actions.

15'

No-one knows before the term of accomplishment that which he has decided for each one.

He who wishes to please men ousts God, for one cannot satisfy both the multitude and the Unique One.

16'

The grace of God is like immaculate water that frees the universes and returns them to the ultimate and primary Lord.

He who can know and correct himself easily becomes master of himself and of the world.

17'

There is only a small number of men capable of appreciating the dark origin of heaven and earth.

Knowledge of oneself allows one to endure all judgements and all abandonment in silence.

18'

He who shall rise up at the end of time shall govern heaven and earth, and everyone shall obey him like the heart that submits to love.

If it seems useless to vanquish ourselves, let us at least consider whether it is possible to command ourselves.

19'

All that we repel and all that we retain crushes us, but all that we accept and all that we give frees us.

It is easier to drag all men into the conquest of the world than to lead a single one of them to the possession of himself.
"The saint cries over the ones gone astray and runs away from the hypocrites. The sage is patient with the ignorant and even smiles at the wicked."

20'

Nature teaches the world, but men prefer to rave subtly which ends in nothing, rather than follow her step by step to discover what they are.

He who prepares himself for death with application shall not be surprised on the day of separation and of reunion.

21'

The sage is like the stone of a fruit that one puts aside indifferently, and like a bone that one flings away scornfully.

It is difficult to bow to the will of the Being because it is hard to recognize our present ignorance and impotence.

22'

The child of God shall negotiate easily the twists and turns of the Book and shall follow faithfully the way that leads to the more than Perfect One.

Death painfully surprises those who ignore the perennial nature of the divine soul and the discontinuity of the terrestrial support.

23'

The sewer of the world exudes rottenness for everybody, but the sage is the only one to detect the ancient perfume entombed in death.

The grace of God is like the heavenly water that makes everything green again.

24'

Let us bless the holy Mother, for if we have emerged through her, we shall also re-enter through her ministry.

The Mother only shows herself naked to pure and simple souls; thus, he who falls asleep in God will wake up in his presence.

25'

When we have conquered individual immortality we shall have to abandon it in order to penetrate God's repose.

Since we must abandon everything one day, it is wise to get used to doing without anything from now on.

26'

Let us strive to become like gold, which is extremely incorruptible and malleable in its precious purity.

Desires that are not oriented towards God accentuate our mourning and make us sink into death.

27'

To always see God behind the appearances that present themselves to us allows us to make use of the world without becoming its slave.

Fervent desire led by a patient will becomes a force that can separate and unite, kill in the world and revive in God.

28'

Evil is not what goes against us, it is what prevents us from being simple and pure. Likewise, good is not what flatters us, but rather what brings us closer to God and unites us with him.

Death is a phenomenon that needs to be studied for a long time before being able to truly dominate it through the power of the living God embodied within us.

29'

He who opens himself to God shall germinate like the stone of a fruit that one waters, but he who closes himself to life shall become like a stone that is removed from the path.

Oh that our final breath and our final thought be in God, so that we might enjoy the long awaited deliverance!

30'

To receive communion is to allow God to enter us and us to enter him; it is to absorb life and to be absorbed by it.

Man was created free, but he no longer knows it; otherwise he would return immediately to his source, which is God.

31'

Let us follow those who teach us generosity, and we shall have abundance in everything.

He who has been instructed banishes the illusion and makes the divine reality appear. He knows that everything emerges from the Unique One and that everything goes back into him.
He knows himself completely and becomes alive and free like his eternal Father and Mother.

32'

Precious water seems contemptible in its simplicity, and that is why the world neglects it, but the dead earth that appears adorned with so many promises costs the lives of men submitted to appearance.

Thus, everything that has entered universal man must necessarily emerge from him, for he himself is the cause and the effect, and this means that all that has emerged from him must go back into him and lead him to the perfection of a new and perfectly accomplished generation.

33'

One needs to have the patience to break the bone in order to taste the marrow, and to take time to examine the earth before exploring heaven, in order not to forget life by sheer force of running after its shadow.

All that man sows he harvests, and all that he receives he restores.
Thus, the hidden life has neither beginning nor end.

34'

Let us turn back towards the holy stone that engendered us in the beginning, and we shall know the grace, the love and the glory of God.

Man's intermediate nature does not permit him to unravel the true from the false without the aid of God.

35'

Too many subtleties lead to madness, and too many desires lead to slavery.

The multitude of disappointing experiences that are accomplished in the world rarely leads man to look for God in himself.

36'

The art of the gardener, the art of the potter and that of the doctor are united in the art of the sage, in order to manifest the light of God in the world.

There are men as huge as the Universe, and others who are as small as an atom. Love makes the generous bigger through union with God. Hate makes the mediocre smaller through division in death.

37'

Be like he who IS, without place, without space and without time in the eternity of movement, and become like he who IS BORN with body, with measure and with weight in the eternity of repose.
"Only he who has become reunited with the heart of the Unique One is no longer subject to change."

37"

One death engenders the other, and one life foretells the next; that is God's justice.

The angel fell for having turned his face away from his god, and man died for having wanted to know the limits of his Being.

38'

Wisdom is to prefer the hidden quality of each thing to the dark clothing of the world.

The patience of love consists in putting everything back into the hands of God and in staying awake in the night of this world.

39'

The sage employs fire to mature; the others use it to kill.

To command men is to identify with them through love and to behave as one desires.

40'

The Living One is obeyed by the whole Universe, and the great water itself is his servant.

Man's first prayer demands great generosity of heart and great courage of spirit. It can be helped by joy or by pain, but preferably it should be the fruit of clear meditation.

41'

God makes his light shine in the darkest abysses, and then love fortifies the secret Being, according to the faith of the spirit and according to the generosity of the heart.

The Saviour becomes incarnate in the snow of the north and manifests himself in the sand of the south.

42'

A saint is worth more than the nation that rejects him, and a sage is worth more than the world that ignores him.

The light of the sun is like the secret life of seeds fashioned by the fire of the Lord.

43'

The great water nourishes the Universe and remains whole. The great fire saves the world and reposes in its own unity.

He who discards the stone of the fruit obeys the law without knowing it, and something can be picked by the world, but he who plants collaborates with God, and the fruit belongs only to him.

44'

He who knows where life emerges from and where it enters again leaves the world and meditates adoring the Unique One.

To share the joys and the pains of others means increasing our experience beyond all limits; it is to converse with madness; it is to learn to love repose.

45'

Let us seize the truth of the Book before the hour of death, for then it would be too late to apply it usefully.

The part is the image of the whole and man is like the Universe; however one is half veiled, while the other is fully veiled.

46'

The sage is like a gold nugget hidden in a pocket of salt that is enclosed in a mountain of stone that rises in the middle of the desert.

All that man desires can be obtained by the ministry of the Father and of the Mother who stay awake in him as in the Universe.

47'

The inspired man shall lead nature to its term, which is God.
"We have not completed our request yet, and here we are fulfilled even beyond our desire."

Happiness is to gather together our desires in the great light in order to stay free in God.

48'

Let us consider the water of our rock and we shall see the stars, the moon and the sun shine in ourselves.

Each thing is impregnated by he who has possessed it. Therefore, in each man the perfume of God persists.

49'

It is the great water that shall lead the ferment of man unto God.

Who shall bring into view the Living One, the most pure, the more than Perfect One?

50'

Grace can only open generous hearts already provided with heavenly water.

Man was created free to remain with God; right now he experiences that, outside the creating fire, there is nothing but palpable darkness and death.

51'

The life of this world is like a hidden game, destined to test the perspicacity of God's children.

The unmentionable is like the union of the three purities hidden in the darkness of the beginning.

52'

Nature comes out of earth and is perfected in oneself up to the peace of God.

Clumsy bodies and souls fall easily into orgy.
Exhausted bodies and souls slip rapidly into delirium.
Purified bodies and souls are easily sustained in truth.

53'

"Helping nature never means depriving it or forcing it."
It is by experiencing the work of God and his holy promise that we shall be saved here below, and not by believing in it without preparing anything, purifying anything and maturing anything.

The sage prefers God made present to all the pasts, all the presents and all the futures of the world.

54'

"Ignorance that knows itself is a wisdom that is silent."
The will of God is the absence of all preconceived judgement in man.

The exterior is multiple, apparent and illusory.
The interior is unique, hidden and real.
The whole is nameless.

55'

The origin of the holy light is a secret that God reveals to the chosen ones of his heart.

The knowledge of the Unique One is like the wisdom and the madness of the sages.
The search for the multiple is like the madness and the wisdom of the world.

56'

No Being could disappear completely in death, but all of them may rot and sink there indefinitely, or on the contrary, emerge from it to be reborn in the totality of free and pure life.

The three emanations of the Being seemed as though emulsified in the nonbeing and formed the hierarchy of the worlds.

57'

Hidden nature shall be freed, purified and magnified up to her divine origin, to become the wife of the magnificent Lord.

Therefore, all that exists involves a divine part, however diminished it is.

58'

Evil has fragmented man infinitely, but it could not kill him completely.

It is therefore necessary to examine everything carefully before rejecting or accepting anything in the proposed work.

59'

God cannot be called nothingness, according to certain confused and badly taught spirits, who therefore unsettle those that search for the truth.

The further a creature is from its source, the more imperfect, impure and close to death it is.

60'

To entrust the Book to a mocker is to sink him in his straying and add to his secret burden.

The Book is dedicated to the glory of God, for the deliverance of men and for the plenitude of saints and sages.
"A great doctrine presented by mediocre people may seem nonsense."

61'

The ultimate knowledge shall be exercised from inside and outside, for it shall reach a unique place like the divine fire, which moves in the infinite time of the great water.

The intelligence of the holy books shall be granted to God's children according to the capacity of their love for him.

62'

He who remains in secret adoration is carried by the water of the Lord.

Some men shall receive here a magnificent revelation and shall cry with joy.
Others shall see only a nameless absurdity and shall snigger with contempt.

63'

God instructs us with love and patience, but misfortune sanctions his infallible word.
Let us therefore never separate ourselves from the holy books that spin the link that unites us with the Lord of all wisdom.

Impurity, pride and avarice are so blinding to perverse men that, always ignoring their own straying, they sink further and further into the most opaque and most foul death.

64'

To instruct a brute or show interest in him before he requests it is to expose oneself unnecessarily to abuse and blows.
"Only divine grace makes our hidden life bloom, and only the love of the Lord fixes it in eternity."

	Oh Earth! I place this man in your bosom. May you return him restored to me at the time of the triumphant regeneration of the world!... May we form part of those who will aid the regeneration of the world! ZARATHUSTRA
	To me who would adore thee, oh wise Lord, with good thoughts, grant me, according to justice, the successes of one world and of the other, the corporal and that of thought, in order to sustain myself through them and place myself in happiness. ZARATHUSTRA
