The Message Rediscovered -Book XX

BOOK XX

	Due to disgust towards you, you were thrown onto the surface of the fields on the day you were born. EZEKIEL
	If you separate that which is precious from that which is vile. JEREMIAH

VÊTE RUINE

SALT

He who perceives only the exterior wrappings of beings and things is separated from God's essential and substantial unity until his blindness ceases with the birth of the Saviour's light.

It is the purity of the Mother's substance that will allow us to embody the splendour of the Father's essence, and thus become true sons of God throughout eternity.

The holy Scriptures have been complete since their beginning, and each new book revealed does nothing more than confirm them without adding anything or taking anything away from the mystery of the incarnate spirit, which constitutes their sacred foundation.

Teach us to hear you and obey you.
Teach us to love you and imitate you.
Teach us to receive you and mature you.
Teach us to conserve you and multiply you, oh Lord of imperishable life!

Who can say this without blaspheming and who can hear it without being scandalized? Our sacrifices and our crimes are equally illusory before God. Our blessings and our curses are likewise worthless before his greatness.

Why try to advance and why fear retreating? Why strive to ascend and why dread falling? For it is enough that the grace of the Unique One strips us of poisonous sin and that his love clothes us in golden splendour.

Our thoughts of love or hate are completely derisory before his splendour; only our repose and our goodwill in him are approved of by the Unique One.

Is the goodwill of our heart towards the Lord and his creation not enough to be forgiven for the imbecilic fault and to be saved from the foul death at the end of time?

For even our love for the Lord is only a reflection of his glory and it does not belong to us, while obedience and acceptance are the acceptable offerings of a heart buried in death and broken by exile.

Teach us, oh Purest One, to behave according to your holy will, and give us the intelligence of your sublime teaching, as well as the understanding of your sacred work.

We are all unworthy of receiving the word of God. Because of this, he does not stop reminding us mercifully of it so that we should never forget the humility of the creature and the glory of the creator.

If the world rejects our works and our gifts, let us turn towards God and let us offer him our attentive silence and our relaxed uselessness, which will certainly be more welcomed and more appreciated by the unique expert.

On asking my Lord one day: "What must I do to please you?", he replied to me: "Nothing, above all nothing, so that I might water you in total peace and so that I might mature you in total safety".

We shall stop our ablutions when we gleam with purity, and it is then that God's sun shall fully fertilize us, for it is a virginal and light heart that we shall offer to the Lord and it is a sown and dense heart that he shall give to us in exchange.

There are two ways to get out of everything, either from above or from below. He who leaves the world the high way is holy and saved. He who leaves it by the low way is mad and damned.

We shall await him in order to be awaited. We shall look for him in order to be looked for.
We shall find him in order to be found.
We shall repose in his peace in order to be unified in him.

Like the monkey who remains a prisoner in his gourd, his hand obstinately gripping the bait, it is also enough for us to let go of the fistful of mud that we stupidly clutch in this world in order to be returned to our primary freedom. However, everyone makes fun of monkeys, and no-one barely makes out his own greediness.

My Lord asked me once: "What shall you bring me on the day of judgement? " And I replied: "You in your secret in me". Then he said: "Very well. Go then, germinate, ripen and produce fruit for my harvest" and I cried bitterly at being still covered by the mud of the foreign land.

Who would still wish to argue with ignorant creatures when God converses with us so marvellously in our hearts?

10'

To put the mud of the world in order is a stopgap measure; to come out of it, there is intelligence!

Oh, music of musics!
Oh, perfume of perfumes!
Oh, flavour of flavours!

11'

The science of men organizes the pit of death, but the science of God delivers us from it forever.

How shall the spring that has not been tightened be released ? And how shall he who has not madly looked for the Lord in the world discover him in himself?

12'

God's judgement is not man's judgement, and what one exalts the other despises.

We shall pray in order to learn to praise, and we shall praise in order to learn to be silent before him.

13'

"When you love one another as I love you, you shall be one with me", says the Lord of the unity of love.

This one explains to us in detail the incarnation of God, without even knowing the virginal nature of the holy Mother; that other demonstrates to us the mystery of Christ, without even knowing the virtue of the sun that illuminates him.

14'

Finally, the ushers came and threw out all those who were waiting in the antechamber in the house of the Highest, but I continued to wait on the steps of the threshold, until sleep came to calm my despair and cover my solitude.

Therefore, too many scholars overwhelm us with their science, while they hear nothing, see nothing and taste nothing of the unique truth, for their knowledge of God is intellectual and bookish, instead of being experimental and experienced.

15'

And it is there that he found me and took me in his arms to console me, and when I awoke I was in his very bed. He smiled at me like an attentive and happy mother that has found her lost child again.

One day, returning to the world after a conversation with my Lord, I felt sudden nausea and frightful sadness. Thus I knew that my great pain was beginning here below, when in fact I thought it was over.

16'

When we have found the Lord in the inside of our heart, shall he perhaps make himself seen also outside in the world?
Oh, distinguished rarity! Oh, supreme confidence! Oh, terrifying test of the total gift!
How many have been able to bear without dying your visible presence and your incarnate splendour?

We shall think we are making a sacrifice by giving up the world and turning towards God. Then, we shall understand that it is the Lord who sacrifices himself by turning towards us.

17'

"We do not choose God, it is he who chooses us." By being in repose and remaining attentive, shall we perhaps hear him and see him one day here below?

How can we believe in God in this absurd world when the light of the Perfect One has not been seen to shine?

18'

Oh, infinite mercy of blind faith! Oh, amazing security of divine love!

There are no competitions, juries, examinations, prizes, medals or diplomas that count in the quest for the Highest.

19'

It is God's idlers and God's blessed ones who shall win the celestial stake, and not the workers and the intelligent of this world.

Only a broken heart, in which the Lord gently separates the truth from the lie, so as to come and dwell in it in all his rediscovered glory.

20'

He who keeps his eyes fixed on his Lord moves forward stepping equally over the gold and the mud of mixed creation.

The best way towards God is the greatest attention in the greatest abandonment, after the long and arduous quest in the darkness of faith.

21'

How difficult it is to find again the joy of one's Lord when one has pursued the world and when one has received in payment its flowers or its spittle!

We shall easily do without the exterior world on the day when we can no longer do without the interior Lord.

22'

Two things distress us: our estrangement from the Lord and our stupidity before his creation, but a third one terrifies us: the filth that masks for us the light of the Perfect One.

If the world reveals itself to us like a rotten plank, let us lean on the Lord who never shies away when a beloved one comes to rest in his bosom.

23'

We shall be able to love men all the more insofar as we ask nothing of them, and we shall be able to love our Lord all the more insofar as we ask all of him.

The best way to serve God is to be like a signpost that indicates the road of the unique Splendour for other men.

24'

How marvellous is the presence of the Lord, and how terrible is his absence!
Most secret companion. Most holy company. Most beloved one that is accompanied.

To contemplate one's Lord and organize the world is impossible. It is necessary to choose at the beginning so as not to hesitate at the end.

25'

Neither the joys nor the pains of this world must make us forget the refuge of unique candour.

He who approaches his Lord here below shall say: "My life has been a perpetual feast" and the others shall add: "He was a saint" after having spat on him. As for the wise possessor of the unity of the Unique One, very few shall recognize him in his mortal wrapping.

26'

God's idlers receive all from the hands of their Lord, while the workers of the world suffer severely to lack all here below.
"These idlers can work like the workers, but what worker could idle like these idlers?"

Having rejected their Lord, they have plunged themselves into horror to forget their grief, but they have only increased it tenfold. Who shall now give them back the peace of the Perfect One?

27'

How could the love of God and of the saints turn away from a being, however disfigured he may be because of the fall? Isn’t Satan himself likely to rejoin his Lord some time if he desires it once?

The Lord has not given us any recipes for coping in the mud of the world, but he has made us see how we can emerge from it altogether.

28'

He who contemplates his Lord can laugh frankly at himself, after having cried about himself for a long time. He no longer has anything to fear of misery nor anything to expect of the riches of the world.

The saint is neither distant, nor important, nor superior with anyone, but he is truthful with everyone, and that is why he exasperates the hypocrites and the mediocre.

29'

Some have persevered with the love of their Lord in the midst of griefs and pains, but how many have remembered him amid the joys and possessions of this world?

How many, among the better ones, have been kept away from God by the mediocrity of those who teach his salvation! How confused shall be the ones gone astray who will have rejected the Lord because of the bad servants! But what shall be the fate of the mediocre servants who will have hindered men of goodwill!

30'

Any son of God, if he received the order, would reveal the secret of the Unique One, and all creation would revive in the primary splendour. Only the insufficiency of the mediocre and the malice of the wicked are opposed to it, but the Lord of the centre knows the hour of judgement.

Death cuts us down unexpectedly and rakes us up in the blink of an eye, and there go all our little worries and all our little thoughts, vanished in an instant.
Oh! Who shall have the intelligence to search assiduously for his Lord here below in order to obtain the victory of life?

31'

Let us not sleep on the Book, let us also put our hand to the resurrection and to the transfiguration of the darkened world; thus, we shall have the immortal and pure life of the beginning, which fulfils God's children.

Oh, believers scattered over the earth, you shall one day resuscitate and embrace one another in the name of God, crying for joy, like brothers and sisters who meet again in the place of their birth, and you shall live in the purity where there is no death.

32'

Have intelligence, and the light shall illuminate your way.
Have purity, and the Highest shall sow your field.
Have patience, and your land shall produce salvation.
Have simplicity, and heaven shall multiply your virtue.

Let us enter the repose and distance ourselves from the issues of the world, for it is the only means of obtaining the leisure and the peace that are indispensable to the quest for God that shall make us beautiful, rich, glorious, powerful and immortal, when we have found the unique treasure.

33'

Have heart, and you shall possess the treasure of the children of God.
Have sobriety, and you shall swim in the wealth that never dries up.
Have faith, and the Lord himself shall work for you.

It does not matter what we look like in the eyes of the world, it is only what we are before the Lord of truth that counts.
"The insults and spittle of the wicked shall add nothing to the garment of mud that covers us, just as they shall take away nothing from the core of light that lives in us."

34'

The intelligent of the world shall mock us and shall shower us with insults because of the word of the Lord of life, but it is enough for our joy that a simple and shrewd heart understands and practices here below God's way before the time of the great judgement, which shall consume all filth and shall separate all faeces from the glorious body.

34"

MARANATHA.
He is surely coming.

Not a thought, not a look, not a word, not a gesture for evil; thus, it will not take shape and life in us nor around us, and if it appears due to the effect of the ancient fault, we shall think the good, we shall see the good, we shall name the good and we shall accomplish the good, so that the light of life invades us and subsists alone in us and around us.

35'

Let us tie the good words around our neck and live with them until they have entered us.
First, let us rely on the Lord's Providence, then let us work in a holy way so as to give body to his transforming blessing.
"Who shall eat the word issued from heaven and earth so as to possess the life that does not perish?"

The jobs that are necessary for the maintenance of our lives do not amount to much for those who think about God more than about the labour of their hands.
"Deliverance from the curse of death flies towards him who prays to his Lord with love and with overcoming."

36'

Let us associate God with our works and with our suffering, but let us also associate him with our leisure and our pleasures, so that evil cannot enter us during the absence of the Perfect One.

Let the intelligent and the scholars of the world not get upset if they remain at the door of the Book with all their intelligence and with all their learning, and let them forgive us that which seems obscure to them, for we do not wish to convince nor to instruct them despite themselves.

37'

We must teach our brothers to pray to God so that they obtain his grace and his help, instead of carrying them on our back, which could not teach them to walk in faith, and which could not make us move forward on God's children's road to freedom.

If we are strong in our weakness, it is because then the strength of God lives fully in us and acts in our place.

38'

Prayer and praise to God make the joy of saints and sages, but it is absence and silence that make the presence of God's word and the union of the perfect ones.

Let us not enter any competition in this world, for our performances are ridiculous before God.

39'

If we cannot push ourselves unto God, let us boldly pull him towards us. It might work better that way.

He who knows that God alone operates all in everything is not tempted to boast about his works here below. Let us therefore place our hope more in the Providence of the Lord than in the works of our hands. Hard words for the intelligent, for the courageous and for the reasonable of this world.

40'

Our works are useless without the blessing of the radiant Lord, for they can do nothing without it, while it can do everything without them; however, by uniting them through a natural means, we shall obtain the repose and the glory of God.

He who has learned to fall also knows how to pick himself up again without hurting himself, but he who has not learned this runs the risk of breaking one of his limbs or even his whole body due to his excessive rigidity.

41'

No-one knows the thickness of the mantle of filth that covers us, except the saint who consumes it, and no-one knows the weight of the light that dwells in us, except the sage who matures it in secret.

Let us not do anything that we would not also dare to accomplish in the presence of God.

42'

He who associates God with all his thoughts and with all his deeds becomes one with the Perfect One.

Those who will have been cleansed by the fire of Gehenna will have to be purified with middle water and revived by the celestial spirit so as to acquire the incorruptibility of the kingdom of God.

43'

Oil joins with salt by means of water, and water becomes fixed in salt by means of oil, and everything remains in One.

43"

Oh, humble ashes of mortification!
Oh, living water of blessing!
Oh, pure salt of baptism!
Oh, holy oil of resurrection!

Who shall study the Book and who shall travel along the way of the Unique One?
"When in doubt, let us place ourselves in the hands of God, who speaks to us through the interior voice, and let us do his will, for he knows perfectly the right, the left and the middle of man".

44'

Let us free our virginal queen, and she shall give us a son who shall save the human race and restore it in its primary splendour.
I.N.R.I.

Let us manifest the inside outwardly, as our handsome Lord, descended from heaven, has done.
"Blessing and curse proceed from the interior vision of the spirit and from faith in action through the word."

45'

Desire gives the substance.
Imagination gives the form.
The word gives the weight.
Faith gives life, but the purity of the heart is the only thing that allows for union with God the creator and renovator of all things.

The Providence of God is manifested preferentially through the mediation of believers of goodwill; but it can exceptionally act by means of spirits, or even directly by combining primordial elements.

46'

Let us not imagine the means of accomplishing our prayer, for the ways of the Lord's Providence are unpredictable, disconcerting and impenetrable for our petty reason.

God forms and dissolves images, but he saves some of them through the Son, who is similar to the Father.

47'

That which is clearly established inside is already on the way to being accomplished outside in the world.

All is potential in the hidden substance, and it is our thoughts that manifest the desirable or the undesirable.

48'

It is the world inside that shall change first, then the world outside shall also be made clear and beautiful.

It is our interior vision that we must exercise and animate until it appears alive and pure in the world.

49'

The living faith is mad and absurd, for it does not even take into account the reasonable appearances of death.

Let us neither imagine nor name the undesirable so as not to give it body and life in us and around us.

50'

It is safer to be with God than to be against anyone, for in this way we are certain of never being wrong, and of taking the shortest path.

Let us go there where the Providence of God smiles on us, and let us leave the ways where it impedes us.

51'

Let us go where the heavenly life is embodied in the pure and holy earth.

All that resembles a work of man is not of God, and shall disappear in the new world.

52'

He engenders his Mother, and his Mother engenders him in the world for the safeguard of the saints and the sages.

Hell is death maintained in us perpetually; it is life forever dying and being reborn; it is the stench and the horror of the rotting filth mixed with the light of life.

53'

Let us work all the days of our lives at separating and rejecting the filth of death that has invaded us since the primary fall, for it is a pleasant and holy job in the eyes of the Lord, who shall come to our aid by delivering us completely from her, this putrescent foreigner.

If we feel abandoned and sad, if we are tempted and agitated, let us immerse ourselves in the reading and the meditation of the wise Scriptures, which shall suffuse us with the joyous light of the Purest One.

54'

Let the desire and the will of our creator and donor, holiest and wisest Father, be accomplished in us perfectly, and let the pure rediscovered unity of the three worlds place us into the eternal presence of the Living One who IS.

He who has found the light of the Lord can abandon the Book; God shall establish him in peace through his love, just as he has introduced him into grace through his blessing.

55'

The purity of the Lord shall invade the whole earth and shall consume the filth of death, erasing our sin through the unheard-of miracle of the separation and the holy union.

55"

For the height of mortification manifests heavenly life, which in turn engenders the eternity of God's peace.

The proud obstinacy of man is such that the weaknesses of his flesh and the fragility of his condition do not succeed in returning him to the liberating and renewing humility where God's secret reposes.

56'

He who cultivates his garden and digs his own earth carries out a job that is agreeable to God. Most certainly, the Lord's snow shall consume his sin and he shall shine before all nations, and his word shall have the density of fermented gold.

Some receive the word of resurrection and life directly and entirely, but others can only absorb it little by little and with great difficulty.
Those who reject it are already excluded without knowing it.

57'

Let us not go astray in the dispersion of our hearts, nor in the agitation of our spirits nor in the works of our hands. Let us rather remain in the perseverance of the quest for the Unique One, which shall fulfil us well beyond our desires.

Also, if we are allowed to cry with joy about the former, we are recommended to be patient with the latter, and above all not to put them off with blind and deaf intransigence.
"Priests condemned Jesus to torture and soldiers nailed him to the cross[1]."

[1] Variant: add after "the cross." : "All of them still wear uniform so that anyone can easily recognize them. Is that our fault?"

58'

Who shall rejoin the Lord of the centre from this world?
Who shall return to the pure and inexhaustible Father before the universal judgement?
Who shall go through the darkness of earthly exile once again?
Who shall overcome the test of the mortal fall?
Who shall follow the Lord of resurrection here below?

Let us praise the Blessed One for all that we have and thank him for all that comes to us. Thus, we shall always be fulfilled and rich in the Lord.

59'

A good encounter is worth more than a thousand good ideas, and the frequenting of the Lord is worth more than all the riches of the earth.

When the ignorant of this world treat us as if we were useless, idlers and cowards because of our quest for the divine treasure, we may consider ourselves quite fortunate, because we shall be assured of being on the way of the unique Splendour.

60'

The rebel and those who serve him bustle about in blind dispersion and in frenzied work. The Lord and his nearest delight in the unity of the heart and in the holy repose of the accomplishment of all things.

The souls of the believers and the blood of the impious shall not rise up against us on the day of reckoning, for the Book shall be our witness before the Highest, and everyone shall remain silent before the prodigious revelation of the Unique One, but some shall rejoice while others shall weep bitterly.

61'

Oh, intelligent ones! where will your tricks be?
Oh, scholars! where will your lights be?
Oh, workers! where will your works be?
Oh, mediocre! where will your judgements be?
Oh, important ones! where will your assurances be?
Oh, hypocrites! where will your disguises be?
Oh, mockers! where will your witticisms be?

Let us place our causes in the hands of the Lord of justice, and our sleep shall be peaceful and no blemish shall throw a shadow over the light of our hearts.

62'

Oh, All-Blessed One! remove the sack and the dead ash that blind us so that we can see your light of wisdom and so that we can praise forever your holy NAME in your rediscovered glory.

Let us be demanding with ourselves, but let us do violence to nothing, either within or without; let us instead ask for the help of the All-Mighty One, who constantly holds out a helping hand to us.

63'

That which we have done with our hands totters and already collapses behind us, but that which we have to do with our heart can become imperishable like the heavenly stone. "The ignorant ones separate brutally that which the sage unties with patience."

The ignorant of the world shall mock God's science like those who seek it and will say: "If the thing were true, everybody would know it." Thus, they cut themselves off from the lordly secret for ever, and their light remains buried in the darkness of death.

64'

When all has become evident and clear, but there where no hand will be able to stretch out to seize the resplendent life of God's children, who shall weep and shall truly rejoice?

If we do not know how to pray, let us simply say: "My Lord and my God" and the dark void of our hearts shall change into the plenitude of the holy light of the chosen ones, and we shall hear the voice of the Most-Secret One and we shall do his will without vainly arguing.

65'

The outside does not amount to much for him whose light shines within, for he sees through the outer layer and penetrates beyond death.
"The more we consume our outer layers, the more resplendent shall be our light under the gaze of the Highest. That is what the wicked shall not understand."

We shall call ourselves incapable, useless and stupid when we rest in the contemplation of the Unique One; or else we shall call ourselves charlatans, jugglers and clowns when we teach his holy law in the world.

66'

It is not up to us to take ourselves seriously, nor to demand of others that they do so. That is up to God, who is the only one to see the inside of creatures clearly.

Thus, nobody shall be able to insult us or stain us, and the door shall remain closed to the proud, the hypocrites and the mediocre.

67'

As for us, it is enough that our hearts germinate in the darkness of the world, flower in the light of the Unique One and become fixed in his glorious sun.

A multitude of goods engenders a multitude of worries, and too many things distract us from the quest for the Unique One; but poverty is only possible there where heaven and earth are generous and gentle.

68'

Let us liquidate the superfluous so as not to be dispersed among the multiplicity, and let us constantly verify, through the inspiration of the Unique One, the need for our action and the rectitude of our quest in the world.

We think we are intelligent, honourable and important, and this prevents us from living pleasantly in the simplicity and in the joy of God's children.

69'

It is better to pass for a madman by talking of the things of God, than to pass for a sage by talking of the things of the world.

There is no success in the world for he who seeks God, but only failures and repeated blows, most opaque darkness and solitude that makes him cry over himself, but what a reward at the end, when the light of the Unique One illuminates God's children's way!

70'

One must be mad for God to believe beyond the sinister appearances that blind us, that crush us and that drive us to despair here below. So let him make us mad, so that we become wise and find the light of life that is never lacking for those who have once known it!

The most evident state of the unique Splendour is free and pure life. Thus, let us not victimize anything or anyone, be it in thought, word, or deed, if we wish the Subtlest One to establish his dwelling in our purified hearts.

71'

Oh, compassionate Lord, move away from our bones the horrible stench that kills; remove from our hearts the dark filth that blinds us and make your light of life shine over your reconciled children.
Oh, wisest and holiest Renovator! Oh, all-powerful and hidden Saviour!

The companion who rebels against the holy quest of her companion would be rejected in the end, and her remorse would be most cruel, for she would have had the greatest of all chances in this world.
"The fate of each one rests in his heart, and the Lord of equity is the sole judge."

72'

Oh, women! your malice in the world is great, but your intelligence in God is small. Therefore, retain your thoughts and judgements with regard to your fellow-being and do not despise the seekers of God, so as not to burn one day in the devouring fire of tardy regrets.

He who remembers God loves God.
He who loves God hears God.
He who hears God obeys God.
He who obeys God imitates God.
He who imitates God knows God.
He who knows God embraces God.
He who embraces God becomes one with God.

73'

Eternal glory to the living and splendid Lord who inspires his sages and his saints and saves them from death.

M.O.I.O.M.

"Perfect faith is simple and absurd; that is why it is all-powerful."

73"

There is an important and urgent prayer that we must repeat every day of our exiled life:
"Deliver us, all-powerful Father, from the disgusting filth that submerges us on all sides, so that we become resplendent once more in your purity, and fertilize us with your holy love, so that we become fixed in you for eternity."

AMEN.

	The stone hidden in the darkness and the shadow of death. JOB
	There, there will be a way that shall be called the holy way. No impure one shall pass along it... Those who will follow it, even the simple ones, shall not go astray from it. ISAIAH
