Cathar Church Declaration of 1012

This church has no membership, save those who know they belong
It has no rivals as it is noncompetitive.
It is not self seeking–it seeks only to serve.
It knows no boundaries, for divisions are an illusion.
It acknowledges all great teachers of all the ages who have shown the truth of love.
Those who participate, practice the truth of love to the best of their ability.
It seeks not to teach but to be, and by being, enrich.
It recognizes that the way we are may be the way of those around us, because we are that way.
It recognizes that the whole planet as a being of which we are a part.
It recognizes that the time has come to shift from separation into oneness.
It does not proclaim itself with a loud voice, but in the subtle realms of loving.
It salutes all those in the past who have blazoned the path.
It admits no hierarchy, for no one is greater than another.
Its members shall know each other by their deeds and being, and by their eyes and no other outward sign, save the fraternal embrace.
It has no reward to offer, save that of the ineffable joy of being and loving.
Each shall seek to advance the cause of understanding, doing good by stealth and teaching only by example.
They shall heal their neighbor, their community and our planet.
They shall know no fear and feel no shame and their witness shall prevail over all odds.
It has no secret, no initiation, save that of true understanding of the power of love and that, if we want it to be so, the world will change, but only if we want to change.
All those who belong, belong; they belong to the church of love.

Consciousness

We are here in life for but one reason- to learn to climb through ascensions of consciousness into the true Selfhood which is within us-the Selfhood which is our real nativity, our home in God’s spirit

Creation and You!

"The reason why the Universe is Eternal is that it gives life to others as it transforms" Lao Tzu


Creation of - Soul of Light

The power of learning spiritual knowledge is to be able to know the soul in the light or darkness, as these are the substances the soul weaves around itself.

Just as the doctor of today must know how to navigate inside the living body in order to preserve the integrity of the body, so the soul too has an even greater and more delicate mystery to understand. 

Thoughts in relationship to time, and subtle substance changes of atmosphere, heat and cold and atmospheric pressures, speak another language to the student of the spirit.  It is this path of warmth and light in the cosmos that leads to the living spirit.

For the student of the spirit, his will is to seek and find the living spirit in and through nature. Only the light and the darkness of the world can reveal the truths of the soul in this living way. It is the greatest task set before the students. In accomplishments, the soul sheds layers upon layers of its thickened nature.  It must understand these as they fade in the cosmic world.

Knowledge becomes love.  The riddle is answered with 'how?'.

As the student must come to ponder the creation of man, he sees there the mystery of will and desire for creation. And like a candle made by a candle maker for the light it holds, so the souls of men are formed by the unknown and unseen power that creates it. But to know the creator of the candle, is the greatest of all mysteries to behold.
