As soon as we turn sincerely towards the Highest, our sins shall be forgiven.

And as soon as we reach him, in truth, they shall be miraculously removed from us.

Have we not worked for the glory of God and for the salvation of believers?

Shall the Lord of heaven and earth not make the seed he sows in the heart of upright men grow and multiply?

The way of the Highest is a way that washes and that sows. Did you know that?

It is also a way that makes grow and that multiplies in the incorruptibility of the Unique One.

Oh, resplendent Lord! have your prophets spoken in vain of your holy science that gives life and of your holy love that accomplishes the holy science in us?

Is there no longer any attentive intelligence and is there no longer any purified heart among us to achieve your holy and perfect unity?

Your sons work hard here below to make your salvation heard by exiled men.

But they are seated at table in your sun, where they celebrate your eternity as a day of joy that never ends.

Those who preach the word of God professionally in the world have to do so with love and with humility, for they do not manifestly possess the spirit and the body of the Lord of life.

Otherwise, the deaf would hear once more, the blind would see, the paralytic would walk, the dead would rise again, and all would give thanks to the almightiness of the Unique One.

Shall each believer not read daily for his family and for himself a page of the holy Scriptures, where the way of God is wisely represented?

Let our spirit not exclude any Scripture inspired by God, but on the contrary, let them all be honoured in our homes and in our hearts.

Many nonbelievers shall be converted and many rebels shall be saved, but not a single hypocrite shall be forgiven if he does not return to the sincerity of the love of God.

The adoration of the Lord of eternity could never be a sacrifice, a duty or a chore, for it is an incommunicable joy that love engenders in the freedom of God.

We shall endure our dryness with patience and we shall moisten it through the reading of the revealed Scriptures that deliver us from doubt.

The tombs of the sons of God are empty tombs; let us never forget it, so that our faith subsists in the miracle of life.

Let us listen to God's insane one who speaks to us: "On the day of the restitution of all things, God's chosen ones shall no longer know the filth of death, nor pain, nor illness, nor servile work, nor dirtiness, nor poverty, nor doubt, nor fear, nor hate, nor the darkness of exile".

10'

Their robes shall be of an immaculate white and their faces shall gleam like molten gold; their desires shall be fulfilled even before they are defined, and the joy of their peace shall be unanimous in the unique Splendour. It is not a worthless promise that is made to us here.

Let us examine carefully what the prophets of God say, and let us be wary of what the interpreters make them say.

11'

Do we not know that the last ones come first, and that the first ones come last in this world?

Those who weigh their servants' food and those who keep part of their wages shall also be put on rations one day, for they shall humbly beg for the stinking mud of hell that shall be their food and their salary.

12'

The right-thinking ones compromise with the world while continuing to speak in his name who condemned the world and its works.
Thus, they have become the worst hypocrites on earth, and the professed enemies of the master, whom they pretend to love like the Judases they are in reality.

12"

There is a mark that makes them unmistakeably recognizable: they blindly reject the Lord's true disciples, as the darkness blindly rejects the light of God.

We continue to preach the way of God in the desert, for we know that his word germinates in secret and that we shall see the formidable harvest transform the desert into a land of abundance.

13'

Who shall become simple enough and pure enough again to believe, to hear and to see the truth of the revealed mystery?
"Oh, magnanimous Lord! multiply your sons and your daughters, and give them your holy earth where nothing perishes."

We receive the promises of God spiritually and in image here below, before receiving them bodily and in truth on the day of the general resurrection and of the ineluctable judgement.

14'

Therefore, those who think they have received all on receiving the word of teaching fall into the pride that excludes them from the palpable possession of God's love.

A few chosen ones of God have received, right in this world, the spiritual and bodily gift of the Highest before the end of time.

15'

These are the cherished children of God, in whom he has placed all his trust, and the great witnesses of his judgement.

We can make use of machines to relieve us, but we must not adore them nor think that they shall save us definitively from death.

16'

To organize oneself in the pigsty of exile is, in short, to want to organize oneself in the stench of the dung heap of death.

The kingdom of God is not constructed with stones and mortar, for it is the stone and the gold par excellence that needs neither mortar nor cutting.

17'

Is there anything more beautiful and higher than the family united in the Lord, that communicates to its children the love and intelligence of God?

No constraint in the learning of the way of God, which is all love and all freedom.
"Those who do violence to young souls prepare the henchmen of hell."

18'

Love and charity can be understood and practised only by those who have first understood and practised tolerance towards themselves and towards others.

He who refuses alms to God's seeker is not blessed, but he who refuses to give bread to him is surely damned.

19'

Therefore, the senseless one refuses everything, the prudent one offers bread, the believer provides a meal and alms, but the sage adds hospitality for the night.

We shall recognize the mediocre in that generosity of the heart offends them and in that the truth of God wounds them, for the dark quagmire is the lot they have chosen.

20'

One day, the senseless ones shall be discouraged by their own madness, for they shall rebound on them infinitely multiplied and they shall crush them with a blind and deaf ferocity from which nothing can deliver them.

We live in such a precarious state and that is so subject to death that we should beg God every day of our lives to teach us the way to our deliverance and of our restitution in the primary splendour.

21'

Alas! nearly all men have become used to death to the point of thinking it inevitable and irremediable, and many have forgotten it like beasts that only become aware of it again at the last moment of their life.

We should beg for our rescue before God with such tenacity that he is forced to grant it to us so as to rid himself of our mad insistence.

22'

The patience of the saints is not the brutishness of the beasts, and the quest of the sages is not the restlessness of the world.

How could we be so patient in this world of death when we are so impatient for the world of life?
Quickly, quickly, Lord! come to us and show us your holy light!

23'

Those who have resigned themselves to earthly exile may well organize themselves here below, but for us who hope for eternal life, how could we settle in the mortal agony of this world?

Perhaps we shall be sent away by the Lord with strokes of the whip on the day of the confrontation, for our work is tiny here below, and we waste a lot of the time allocated to us on worldly cares.
"Spare us the confusion of the wicked ones, oh, holy and perfect goodness!"

24'

Oh, Lord of goodness and of forgiveness! Grant us the time necessary for the quest for your holy secret and allow us to taste here below the first fruits of eternal life that you promised us from the beginning. Oh, come for our salvation, Holiest One, and descend into our purified hearts!

Do not let us lie in mortal agony in the world and do not abandon us to the mocking of the ignorant ones who reject you, Lord of compassion.

25'

For our faith wavers under the blows of death, and our love languishes in the darkness of exile.

All that distracts us from God's salvation in the world is bad, and all that makes us forget it is fatal.

26'

Alas! the men fallen from heaven have become used to the evil of death, and at present they no longer pay any attention to it at all.

Of what importance are the forms of our quest and of our mortal agony in this world, as long as we are reborn happily to the life that does not perish!

27'

The law of the world is a hard law of murder, of exile and of suffering.
The law of heaven is a sweet law of love, of freedom and of joy.

We shall recognize the true seekers of God in that boredom does not reside in them, nor even approach them in the world.

28'

The true children of God are never lonely or abandoned, for the quest for the Father occupies them night and day.

Nothing shall save us from misery, filth, illness, suffering, ignorance, fear, hate, despair, solitude and death, except the science of the most-knowledgeable God.

29'

And nothing shall transmit it to us but the love of those who possess it through inheritance since the creation of man, for their word is the love of God that comes to us as far as the earth of exile.

The true believers in God endure the world, but they do not compromise with it, for their goal is not to settle in it, but rather to seek in it the concealed entrance to the kingdom that does not perish.

30'

That which we think and that which we do in the world matter little in the end: it is that which we find in it of God that is all that shall matter for our final rescue; that is what is hard for many self-assured ones.

We shall know we are approaching the truth of God when we are less and less in agreement with the world, and when the world treats us in the same way.

31'

And we shall know we have reached the truth of God when we love men without following them, and when men love us while following us.

Let us present the Book at each door and to each heart. Those who receive it and those who reject it shall be their own judges.

32'

The will of God is like a river that flows towards an ocean of love. It is madness to want to oppose it to the exhaustion of the absurd.

Instead of doing violence to everything and torturing everything like rebels who think of establishing themselves in the world thanks to their cunning...

33'

let us attempt to discover the unique secret of life with the aid of God, like loving children subject to their mostknowledgeable Father.

The rich and the strong in God take on the task of aiding and supporting the poor and weak in God, so that the heavenly kingdom is repopulated even in its most lowly places.

34'

Even the mediocre can be saved, but on the condition of not stupidly opposing the saints who have agreed to answer for them.

Have the saints and the wise prophets not announced, despite all opposition, our rescue and our resurrection in God?

35'

And has our handsome Lord of forgiveness not endured all from us in order to save us from the dark exile where we are dying?

Oh, sublime poverty of him who has all!
Oh, sublime simplicity of him who knows all!
Oh, sublime weakness of him who can do all!
Oh, sublime peace of him who loves all!

36'

It is a salt, but it is also a sugar.
It is an earth, but it is also a fire.
It is a water, but it is also an air.
It is a light, but it is also an abyss.

Those who make the best of the lies and the death of the world are eventually devoured by lies and by death in this world.

37'

Oh, how marvellous and incredible is your truth of life, Lord! And how few of your children are capable of believing in it and seeking it here below!

Should we not burn with desire and impatience in our search for the divine treasure if we wish to have a chance of discovering it here below?

38'

For here is our senseless hope and our mad desire, which save us from doubt, from despair and from death.

What is the use of astutely prolonging our mortal agony in the world if it is not to seek in it the salvation of God that delivers from all death?

39'

Is it not enough for us to pass on God's torch in this darkened world without worrying about who shall receive it?
For it is he who wants it that receives it, and not he that we want!

For one saint that is recognized here below, how many remain unknown and pray for the salvation of souls?

40'

For one son of God who manifests himself in the world, how many work in secret for the rescue of souls and bodies?

Those who cannot bear to be scolded and corrected by men shall learn nothing from men.

41'

Those who cannot bear to be scolded and corrected by God shall learn nothing from God.

It is through the substance of virginity and through the essence of fertility that our life shall be re-established in the triumphant unity of the Unique One.

42'

Water us, Lord of heaven, with your holy dew that regenerates the souls, the spirits and the bodies disunited by the world's judgement of death.

42"

Oh, Holiest One! allow us to hear and accomplish your great mystery before the general jugement that shall bring everything to light.

Oh, Lord of knowledge! why do so many men fall asleep in the mud of the world? And why do those who stay a little more awake seek your secret outside of you?

43'

Oh, Lord of justice! why do so many men fall asleep in your word? And why do those who stay a little more awake look for you with so much difficulty?

Because those have not germinated in me, says the Lord of the secret.

44'

Because those have not looked for the good almond that is hidden beneath the outer layers, says the Lord of the mystery.

The Book shall be like a chain of living gold that shall bind together the children of God in the quest for his holy light of life.

45'

Those that meet with the Book in their hand shall give each other the kiss of peace and shall receive communion in the Lord of life.

Certainly, we shall be close to those that invoke us in their heart to lead them on God's way.

46'

When we meet up to read the Book, he who inspired it shall most certainly be amidst us.

The half-hearted ones that undertake the quest for the divine secret soon tire, and they return to their worthless occupations of the world as dogs return to their vomit.

47'

Those that are thirsty and hungry for the life of God are caught up by the holy quest as though by a powerful magnet that no longer leaves them time to turn their eyes towards the world.

The Churches compromise with the world in order to maintain multitudes of half-hearted ones in the blind observance of the revealed mysteries.

48'

This is a great human charity, but it is also a great danger, for it distances the best ones from the effective quest for the holy and wise mystery.

The world prefers quantity to quality.

49'

But God prefers quality to quantity.

All have fallen asleep on the divine promise and each one goes reassured about his business in the world, believing himself automatically saved through the quest and through the gift of a single one.

50'

And those who try to bring God's promise up to date are considered in the eyes of the sleeping mediocre as madmen and heretics, so vague and remote does God's gift appear to them.

You shall be blamed, coloured peoples, for having received the Book of deliverance from the hands of a white man.

51'

Reply: "We are honoured to have received this gift, and you are dishonoured for having rejected it".

The true seekers of God succeed or die in the attempt, but they never retreat, for they have guessed the divine enormity of the goal they pursue.

52'

Nothing shall be lost from the holy and wise quest of the children of God, for the Lord is merciful towards those who have put their faith, their love and their goodwill in him.

The faint-hearted, the mediocre, the ignorant and the right-thinking will shower us with their discouragement, their reproaches, their sarcasm and their impediments of all kinds in our quest for the divine treasure.

53'

For it is the wicked devil who speaks and who acts through them in order to distance us from the kingdom of God, where he no longer has any power over us. Let us flee from them without turning round and let us not associate them with our salvation.

We shall not worship the human figures, the animal figures, the symbols or the images that are here to remind us of the divine mysteries, but they are nothing on their own.

54'

Idolatry is to confuse the appearances of the thing of God with the thing itself, and is to remain led astray by the outer layers that hide the pure and substantial almond of imperishable life.

Oh! gleaming cohort of sages and saints of God, who have endured victoriously the sarcasm, the insults and the blows in the quest for the Lord of truth...

55'

inspire in us the patience that shall vanquish the opposition of the profane world where we lie in mortal agony seeking God's salvation, which is deliverance from the claws of death.

All those who do not pray to God and who do not seek his salvation night and day, or do not hope for it, are wasting their time here below.

56'

Those who doubt it have only to visit an ossuary, and if there is still some remains of intelligence in them they shall no longer doubt on coming out of there.

Blind fanaticism is like unbelief and like impiety before God, for it prevents one from knowing the source of grace and from discovering the ocean of love.

57'

When we know the origin and the basis of divine life we shall be grateful and humble forever in the rediscovered Lord.

Those who reach God are at first stunned, then they laugh and cry, and finally they admire and praise for the eternity.

58'

The prudence of the Lord is unique, and his secret is of an astonishing and perfect humour. God's seers bear witness to this from now on.

Oh, believers of the message! your depth and your unity shall be recognized if you recognize the legitimacy and the continuity of the revealed Scriptures.

59'

The true religions are those that preach resurrection, judgement and life in God for the chosen ones, or outside of God for the reprobates.

All the teachings lavished upon us so that we behave well in the world shall not prevent our dying in it ignorant and powerless with regard to God's salvation, if we do not seek it every day of our life.

60'

There is only one true goal for man here below, which is to come out of death with the aid of God, as did the handsome Lord of resurrection. But the secret of God belongs exclusively to him, and he transmits it to whom he wants, without anyone being able to force it.

God shall let his salvation be seen only to those whom the world does not satisfy, to those who do not bustle about in it, to those who do not settle in it.

61'

For we shall obtain everything according to the measure of our heart, and not according to the malice of our spirit or the skill of our hands.

Believers in God, open your ears and your hearts while you are still alive on the earth, for soon it will be too late to seek God's salvation.

62'

Oh, believers in God! do not wait to be returned to dust to look into the secret of your hearts, for then it shall be too late to manifest anything in life.

There is no peace for the seekers of the world, not even when they have found the world, because then, what sadness, what solitude and what slavery!

63'

There is no peace for God's seekers as long as they have not found God, but then, what joy, what union and what deliverance!

Christ has ridiculed death and has ridiculed the wicked. The word of such a master is certainly a word of life that has to preserve us from discouragement and doubt in all circumstances.

64'

Who shall emerge of the tomb once more behind the Lord of resurrection, so as to be a new example of the almightiness of God and a brilliant confirmation of the faith of believers?

The Book is magnificent and he who inspired it is radiant in heaven. Do we not see him? Do we not hear him?

65'

God shall hide us under his robes of light, or he shall make us shine in the darkness of the world. His is the glory and the forgiveness.

However poor and however abandoned we appear in the world, we must keep our faith and our hope in the mercy of the Unique One, who observes us to see how we react in the exile of death.

66'

Shall we not recognize the inspired teaching that rings out in the plenitude of the word from among the delirious words that ring out in the void of the profane world?

Our state in the world has no importance at all before God, for what matters in his eyes is what we believe, what we seek and what we find here below.

67'

The beggar covered in mud who hides in his heart and in his hand God's jewel is worth more than everyone who rejects him.

Now that we have read the Book, there will never again be an excuse for us if we neglect God's salvation.

68'

For the Book is like a magnet that gathers the souls gone astray in death to offer them to God.

Oh, believers in God! take fresh heart for the Lord sees your hearts exposed without being ashamed of your wretched state in the world.

69'

Oh, believers in God! let your hope germinate and let your faith flower once more, for the Lord sees you shining through the exile of death.

Have we not given a marvellous fruit, like a good tree planted by the Lord in the land of exile?

70'

Those who eat this fruit shall return to God's paradise, and they shall never leave it again thanks to their experience of death.

Have we not produced the Book in the abandonment and in the solitude of the world, without weakening and without doubting God?

71'

Have we not accomplished God's will, despite the obstinate opposition of the profane world?

Let our meetings be holy and joyful in honour of the Lord who presides in our loving hearts!

72'

He is here receiving communion with us. Do we not see him through the dark outer layer that still covers us?

Oh, the joy of those who rally to God!
Oh, the faithfulness of the lovers of the Unique One!
Oh, the passion of the seekers of life!

73'

Oh, the sweetness of the children of God!
Oh, the security of the saved saints!
Oh, the brilliance of the sons of God!

Oh, simple children of God! do not reject the Lord because of those who disfigure him and who betray him in his own house.

74'

Go to him in all confidence in your hearts, serve him and love him as the best of all of you.

Thus, you shall be received in his kingdom, while the hypocrites shall be thrown back into the darkness of the outside.

75'

Hardly anybody believes in the judgement of God any more, yet we shall all see it, and the surprise shall leave us voiceless and motionless.

Once again, the promise of salvation is given to the exiled ones that suffer and that pray to God for their deliverance.

76'

Once again, the gate of the kingdom is open for those who are thirsty for the pure and imperishable life that is resplendent in God.

It is quite natural that we struggle with all our might and with our own means against the misery, against the illness and against the death that constantly threaten us here below.

77'

But our efforts must not make us forget the quest for the salvation of God, which is the only thing that can deliver us for ever from the yoke and the exile of death.

Those who preach to us of heaven and who bury themselves in the petty things of this world are hypocrites who sow the hate towards God in the heart of exiled humans, instead of making his holy and perfect love flower there.

78'

The salvation of God is not, as some teach it, a remote and vague possibility. It is an immediate and palpable reality for him who attains it here below. This is what we must all know.

78"

Let us never be ashamed of giving up a limited and vague opinion to adopt a more precise and broader idea of the salvation of God, for we shall thus open up and germinate in God, instead of stagnating and decomposing in the world.

	There are two extremes that those who have given up the world should avoid. A life dedicated to pleasures and passions, degrading, sensual, base, without nobility, without benefit; and a life devoted to mortifications, painful, without nobility, without benefit. BUDDHA
	We have drunk the ambrosia, we have become immortal, we have seen the light, we have found the gods. VEDA
