The Message Rediscovered -Book XXIV

BOOK XXIV

	Watch, observe and question the ploughman, and learn from him that what is sowed is what is reaped. ISIS
	He knows what enters the bosom of the earth and what comes out of it. He knows what descends from the heavens and what ascends to them. KORAN

THE WELL

He who nourishes us does not criticize us, but those who leave us to perish are lavish with their boundless judgements and condemnations, for they think they are superior in the world.

Hypocrites who judge, you take care not to help to live those whom you condemn. You shall be judged in the same way. God shall take away from you all chance of salvation, and you shall stagnate in the desperation of death.

He is not like us, therefore he is mad, say the impious.

They are not like me, therefore they are dead, says the Lord of life.

On searching for the dying world we shall become magnets of death and we shall die.

On seeking the unique Living One, we shall become magnets of life and we shall live.

Oh, my Lord, do you not hear the ignorant shepherds who, in order to flatter the mediocre and the hypocrites, acclaim the profane science and its mercenary scholars in the holy place?
Violence, ignorance and vanity have invaded their hands, their spirits and their hearts, and here are those that lead astray and corrupt the flocks entrusted to their safe-keeping.
destroy your holy and precious images.
Oh come! holy Lord, with your whip and your crosier, with your cane and your sword, with your winnowing basket that sifts and separates the wheat from the chaff.

If there are still intelligent and inspired men of God in the Churches, these shall examine their Scriptures up to the secret foundation where the immovable and imperishable stone established by God, established of God, established in God shines.
These shall read the Book attentively, and the praise from their hearts shall rise towards the Highest like the pure flame of the holy offering.
These shall denounce without fear the accursed science that does violence to (This is the verse of the meeting and of the warning, which shall be repeated three times.) nature, beings and things, and that sells death at a high price to all.
These shall recall the science of God that does violence to nothing and nobody and that gives life freely to all.

The last saints shall not flatter the mediocre and the rebels who put pressure on them, for the quality of the last living ones shall be more precious to them than the multitude of incurable dead ones.

Is it not enough that one voice of God be raised in the world to denounce and bring down the prestigious ventures of the evil one? Or are there no longer any living ones to hear it?

Men may well distract themselves sometimes with their works, but they must never take them seriously, for they are worthless and dead. Only the work of God is alive forever.

When the science of God is manifested, all the work and all the inventions of men shall be discarded as useless. Only the reprobates shall remain submitted to servile work because of their blind pride.

Let us seek the blessed places where the sun, the moon and the stars shine, and where the helpful elements and earth encourage the humble seekers of God.

Wretchedness in the cold is only poverty in the sun, and it can become infinite wealth before God if we reap the gold that the Lord pours lavishly across the darkened world.

No more solitude, no more sadness and no more abandonment for him who converses in his heart with the Perfect One.

If we wish God to choose us, let us not omit to choose him too, and if we want him to choose us in his kingdom, let us not forget to choose him first in our hearts.

God is patient with the impatience of his prophets, for he wishes to give all the ones gone astray the greatest possible number of chances to return to him.

It has been said: "A thousand years for man are like one day for God, and one day for the Unique One is like a thousand years for men."

How many prepare themselves to enter the repose of God by abandoning the fallacious restlessness of the world and its worries renewed ad infinitum?

10'

How many enter the solitude of their heart, in order to pray, to praise and to contemplate the living God who is enough for everything?

How many withdraw to the holy mountain so as to get to know the imperishable companion, the unfailing friend, the unique Lord of heaven who gives life without mixture?

11'

How many cook in secret the mysterious and holy dew that comes from heaven, in order to manifest the admirable Saviour who delivers from death?

We try to emerge from the heap of those who are dying before God, not to plunge our brothers in the cesspool, but rather to help them also to come out of the darkness of death.
"Shall they not come with us towards the splendour that shines in heaven?"

12'

All our works are derisory before the work of life of the Highest.
Would we not have done better to adore him in silence, rather than write the Book for the ignorant vanity of this falsely-intelligent and falsely-learned time?

It is the essential and substantial word transmitted by the master that makes us the heirs to the Highest, on condition that we receive it in a holy way with gratitude and not profanely with malice.

13'

A few devoted saints and a wise expert could show once again to the believers the path that saves from the exile and the death of this world, if the hearts of men were not so deeply buried beneath the filth of sin.

Wild flocks are decimated by wild beasts, but protected flocks end up in the abattoir.
So let the believers therefore support themselves individually in God, without exposing themselves uselessly in the world.

14'

Deliver us, oh good Lord, from the sordid battle for a life dying in a rotten world, and make us heirs to your incorruptible, living and eternal light, so that we may adore you in the madness of the love that gives and receives without measure.

The powerless ones who recite ready-made prayers conceitedly think they are the only ones who pray properly, for they are ignorant of the praise to God that springs spontaneously from the heart of the inspired saint.
"God shall judge the dying who reject his living ones, and he shall turn away the dead who bully his envoys."

15'

The water sometimes springs from the rock in the desert, but it is more often a deceptive mirage than a palpable and vivifying reality. Let us not fall asleep in the hum of the Churches and cloisters; let us struggle in them for our liberation, uniting ourselves wholeheartedly with the Lord of love, of poetry and of true science.

We shall be known and alive in heaven thanks to God's work that does not perish, for our personal works shall disappear with the transitory world and our memory here below shall perish with time.
"The kingdom of the Perfect One is immutable, and its Lord does not lie."

16'

The Book is not for bleating sheep, nor for ravishing wolves. It is for the free children of God who bless the Lord in their hearts and who fervently seek his grace, his love and his salvation, before the fury of the incandescent cloud that shall consume all impure things.

Let us not make ourselves out to be important, nor scornful, nor saved, nor pure, so as not to be odious before the Lord, and above all, so as not to make the Lord odious in the world."

17'

The closer we are to the Lord of life, the more we shall hide it in the world, so as not to profane the love of the Unique One.
"The “respectable” people according to the world are not the “respectable” people according to God."

The sermonizers have succeeded in making God disgusting to the world, and the right-thinking ones have succeeded in making him the object of hate. A great success, in truth, for which they congratulate themselves in an imbecilic way like bad servants who have sent away their master's guests, with the intention of taking their place at the table. They shall be ignominiously driven out and replaced by new, more faithful and more intelligent assistants.

18'

The mediocre and the hypocrites submerge the Churches, and the atheists dominate the world. How shall the true believers subsist if the Lord does not come rapidly to help them?
Who has ever seen a good crop germinate and grow in a field of stones? Yet everything is possible for the Lord of life and love, who sows without reckoning, even in dead ash.

Let us receive with humility, but also with effusiveness and love, those who come to ask us for information about God and about his salvation, and let us recommend to them the assiduous reading of the wise and holy Scriptures, instead of rebuffing them with boring sermons and arrogant opinions.

19'

Servant of God, friend of God, children of God, lover of God are enviable, true, unique and secret titles. All the rest are, by comparison, like the titles of an ex-convict, of which there is nothing to be proud.

A good example of life in the love of the Lord is worth more than all the prepared speeches and all the platitudes delivered without inspiration.

20'

Those who reject the Book reject their own life without knowing it. Who shall unstop their ears if they do not wish to hear? And who shall open their eyes if they do not wish to see? Does the obviousness of the heavenly work not impose itself alone on the enlightened believers?

The Book is for those to whom it is given to receive it. It is God's justice, which is beyond the understanding of men.

21'

First of all, the prophets remind us of him who is, him who lives, him who remains immovable in oneself for eternity.

Hypocrites, the mediocre and atheists may well reject the Book; free believers shall propagate it with the aid of the Holy Spirit who inspired it, and their multitude shall cover all the earth if they remain united in God in their hearts, and if they do no violence to anyone in their faith.

22'

The Mother washes away our scum and the Father allies himself with our purity, for his glory is gleaming and pure like that of the sun. Thus, we must consume in ourselves all sin and wash all blemish, so that he might dwell in us and resurrect us in his heavenly splendour.

What is the use of triumphing here below, if it is triumphing in the mud of death that eventually kills us? Derisory triumph that the shrewd ones and the imbeciles madly pursue in this world.

23'

What a painful surprise at the end of time, when they see those that they despised because of their faith obtain eternal life, while they themselves shall reap only agony maintained parsimoniously.

23"

Oh, rich imbeciles, who despise the saints and the poor of God by letting them perish of misery in the world, one day you shall beg for your excrement as food, and rottenness shall serve as your bed and your clothes.

The freedom of God's children is an internal freedom that says everything and that does everything in rediscovered and guarded innocence.

24'

Oh you, the Radiant One! allow us to find you and eat you, so that we might dwell in your eternity and your glory without equal.

Let us ask for our right, but let us not demand it, so as not to put an obstacle to God's judgement.

25'

He who lives God's truth innocently is contradicted by no-one.

If we are searching for the world, let us work as much as possible. If we are searching for God, let us rest as much as we can.

26'

Each one admires his little person and each one is proud of his little works, without seeing that God and his work are the only immortal and admirable ones.

We have not asked for the submission or admiration of anyone, and we have imposed ourselves on no-one.
"Who shall follow us freely as far as the Lord of resurrection?"

27'

It is perfect renunciation that opens the gates of God's kingdom to us. It is perfect destitution that fills us with God's blessing. It is the perfect void that fills us with God's love.

Let him who knows of a similar book to this one publish it before God and before men, if he can. If not, let him publish what he has heard and what he has seen in his heart after having read it.

28'

That which is fixed comes from the earth.
That which is always moving comes from the water.
That which is smoky comes from the air.
That which is greasy comes from the fire.

Is there anything more absurd and more tragic than the fate of the impious who refuse to ask for anything from God in their hearts hardened by pride?

29'

They proclaim themselves strong and free in the world, but they die like beasts in hopeless abandonment and decay.

Why do those who speak about God feel themselves obliged to adopt those tones of pedants or the quavering of beaten dogs?

30'

Let us improvise our preaching so that it is experienced in God, or let us humbly remain silent in the world.

It is characteristic of man to be astonished by creation and to search for the creator.
It is characteristic of the Beast not to worry about it and to search only for itself.

31'

Many deny, many doubt, many believe, a few seek, a few understand, a few find, one or two live and rejoin the unity of the Unique One in heaven.

Our honour is to have recalled God's promise, guaranteed by his love, and accomplished through his science in his transforming glory.

32'

The Book that exalts the glory, the love and the science of God shall be the safeguard of the believers. Those who reject it shall perish in the worthless wait for him who becomes embodied before their blind eyes.

Neither believers nor atheists suspect God's science exists, hidden behind the symbols, writings and figures of revealed religions. Those who believe in it try to appropriate it through cunning and violence.
A few of them ask God for it in their heart, and scarcely one or two obtain it in the century.

33'

The master, on visiting the disciple's dwelling, broke everything except a bottle, then burned everything he could burn except the holy Scriptures, then extinguished the ashes with water except for a half-burnt stick. Finally, he opened all the windows, except that which faced north, and then he left for the south without a word.

No more drudgery, no more despair and no more defeat for him who obtains the aid of the Lord in the predicaments of this world.

34'

It is better to hold out your hand and enjoy the freedom and the joy of God's children than to possess the goods of the world and lack the main heavenly food.

How can we not doubt God in this world mixed with death? And how can we escape the desolation of this exile in perpetually renewed slavery, wretchedness and mortal agony?

35'

The nonbelievers rely on themselves to organize themselves here below. The believers rely on God to save themselves from the exile of this world. Here is all the difference between the reason of the senses and the folly of faith.

If God does not give us belief, we cannot believe by ourselves, nor even less so remain in the faith of saved and imperishable life that he has promised us in reward for our faithfulness to his law.

36'

We can weep over the impious ones, we cannot judge them and even less condemn them, for it is the Lord that chooses us and dwells in us according to his wishes, and not according to ours.

The true mark of God's children is that they ask everything of their Father without hesitating or doubting.

37'

Oh, holy Begetter, consume in us the rotting foreign woman and deliver us from the dark scum, so that we might shine in the light of life where you make your nest.

Too many worries, too many problems and too many temptations assail us here below for us to be able to devote ourselves in peace to the study of God's word and to the quest for his salvation.

38'

Let us first pray, then, for God to smooth the paths of our quest and for him to discharge us of alien worries, by making our faith stronger than the obviousness of our blind reason.

Whatever our assurance and whatever our distress, let us place ourselves every day of our life, together with our affairs, in the hands of the Lord of wisdom, who is the only one that can give us the victory and the peace which do not perish.

39'

Let us not reject that which seems to us dark at the beginning, for it is undoubtedly that which shall enlighten us in the end.
"Oh, holy light, which agrees to dwell in our death in order to resurrect our life!"

You who are thirsty for justice and honesty, you who seek peace and friendship, you who wait for freedom and love, come freely to the Lord and to his salvation, without worrying about obstacles, erected between God and men by the dead.

40'

We are not here to wait for men to come to us in dead temples, we are here to go to men and to install God in their living hearts.

Let us piously exchange our prayers so that God may bless them doubly.

41'

"Give up and die" are the words of the enemy.
"Seek me and live" are the words of the friend.

Since filth, rottenness, slavery, suffering, lying and death are inextricably linked to this world, what else can we expect but the absurd on wanting to organise ourselves in it, on wanting to dominate in it, or on accepting to decay in it or waiting to perish in it, even though it be in a holy way?

42'

Is not the only effective solution to seek solely the salvation of life, transmitted by the Lord descended from heaven and embodied among us for our reintegration in eternal and pure life? Is it not said: "Seek first the kingdom of God and its correct use, and all the rest shall be given to you in addition"?

The decadence of religions and initiations comes from the fact that the guardians, the believers and the seekers take the symbols, figures and rites to be the mystery itself, whereas they are nothing more than its images and reminders.

43'

The kingdom of God is not an abstraction or an image, nor a vague ideal. It is the only living and palpable reality that saves from death, from now on, here below.
Shall we finally understand?

It is better to believe stupidly in the unlikelihood of divine revelation than to demonstrate its apparent impossibility in an intelligent way.

44'

Profane science accomplishes incredible wonders every day, and shall God's science be powerless to save us from death?

The impious vainly hope to acquire by force that which they refuse to ask humbly of God. They shall surely end up broken into pieces by their own violence.

45'

Has the moment perhaps arrived for us to prepare ourselves to cross the blaze of raging fire? Who shall come out of it again unscathed like the seed of God?

We desire that no-one make use of the Book to judge or to condemn from outside, for it is always useless to be in the right, and it is often dangerous.

46'

We indicate as incomplete all the comments on the words inscribed in the Book, for the reflections of the thing are not the thing itself.

If the revelation of salvation were to become lost or to cease here below, who would deliver us from the agony of the world?

47'

Let us save our holy Scriptures from disappearing, so that they might also save us from alien death.

Let us unite a small number of chosen ones by the heart and let us promise before God: help, love and fidelity in this exiled world. Thus, the Lord in person shall bless our ventures and shall guide our quest.
"If we are struck down, let us return to God, and if we are fulfilled, let us bound towards him."

48'

If we do not search for God's salvation with constancy, with perseverance, with stubbornness, with stupidity, with frenzy, we shall obtain nothing but the outer layer of holy things.
"Should we not beg the world to obtain a portion of the dead things that it sells so dearly to everyone?"

The proud ones of the world do indeed suspect the truth of God, but they pretend to mock it in public, while they strive to do violence to it secretly through their dark and criminal machinations.

49'

Oh, super-intelligent ones who marvel at one another complacently in the filth of sin, your malice and your pride exclude you forever from the light of life where the holy Lord dwells!

All the explanations and all the experiences of the world and of ourselves are illusory, for they leave us ignorant, wretched and dying like before.
Only the love and the science of the Highest can save us from the darkness of death.

50'

All the scholars and all the geniuses of the world examine only the world and know only the dark world; thus, they are content with the derisory rewards of the world and go to oblivion and the death of the world like the animals they despise and exploit.

Everything that the proud think of the humble seekers of God, and everything that they make them endure, is like a gravestone that they bear on their own accursed back.

51'

It is disobedience and the absorption of a mixed fruit that have hurled us into death. It is obedience and the absorption of a pure fruit that shall re-establish us in life.

Everyone wants to improve his lot of dying men, but very few attempt to escape definitively from this lamentable condition.

52'

Everyone is passionate about the affairs of the impermanent world; very few consider studying the prodigious revelation of God's sons.

The holy Scriptures, which teach how to come out of death, are mortally boring for the dead. On the contrary, everything that plunges them into death fills them with boundless passion and enthusiasm.

53'

People impassioned of God shall find God and his life. People impassioned of the world shall find the world and its agonizing death.
"It is the frequenting of God that shall make us find the peace of God's house."

Few humans are curious about the revelation of the mystery of the fall and of the redemption, for few men have kept the memory and the taste of the pure and imperishable life of the beginning.

54'

We shall obtain only that which we truly desire and request, but we shall be fulfilled only with eternal life embodied in God.

We have been ordered to believe and to love. We have not been forbidden to seek and to know, but rather quite the contrary.

55'

Faith and love keep us safe until the day of forgiveness. Investigation and knowledge lead us from here below to eternal life, or to death without return.

Woe betide those who install themselves in the mud of this world and who fall asleep in its filth, for they shall not see the light of the Perfect One shine.

56'

Woe betide those who forget themselves in idleness or in work, in pleasure or in desperation, for their lot shall be the death from which no-one returns.

	Seek me and live. AMOS
	Oh, who shall let me know where to find him, how to arrive at his throne? JOB
