Guest guest Posted November 12, 1999 Report Share Posted November 12, 1999 Namaste All, The Albigensians probably had Gnosticsm, however they were limited in area and are now gone. CATHAR PROPHECY In 1244 A.D. The Cathars made a prophecy about a Church of Love that was to come,in 1986. On a recent visit to the U.K. I came across this prophecy. I already had an interest in The Cathars,and had read about them,so I thought this would be of interest. The Cathars were a form of Christianity that had its base in Toulouse in France. They were dualistic and had a lot of teachings that were very close to original Christianity. Particularly with regard to the communion meal, which was also a feature of the Essenes. They also had no Priesthood as such but had Parfaits or Perfected Ones. They did not eat meat and they taught a philosophy that was similar in many ways to the Essenes or the Buddhists. Of course this put them on a collision course with the predominant Christian Sect of Catholicism and a crusade was undertaken to wipe them out.(Simon de Montfort etc). They were burned at the stake in their hundreds,as many as 300 at a time.The last Cathars were burned at the stake by the Holy Inquisition at their headquarters of Montsegur, Languedoc,France in 1244, but they left a prophecy. It is said that before the last attack on their fortress a few escaped with the "Cathar Treasure", which many take to mean their knowledge.................. The Prophecy. That the Church of Love would be proclaimed in 1986. It has no fabric,only understanding. It has no membership save those who know they belong. It has no rivals,because it is non-competitive. It has no ambition,because it only seeks to serve. It knows no boundaries,for nationalism's are unloving. It is not of itself,because it seeks to enrich all groups and religions. It acknowledges all great teachers of all ages,who have shown the truth of Love. Those who participate,practice the truth of Love in all their beings. There is no walk of life or nationality that is a barrier. Those who are,know. It seeks not to teach but to be and by being,enrich. It recognises that the time has come for the supreme transition,the ultimate alchemical act of conscious change of the ego into a voluntary return to the whole. 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 but have paid the price. It admits no heirarchy or structure,for no one is greater than another! Its members shall know each other by their deeds and being and by their eyes and by no other sign save the fraternal embrace. Each one will dedicate their life to the silent loving of their neighbour and environment and the planet,whilst carrying out their daily task,no matter how humble. It recognises the supremacy of the great ideal,which may only be accomplished if the human race practices the supremacy of Love. It has no reward to offer,either here or in the hereafter,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 neighbour,their community and our planet. They shall know no fear and feel no shame and their witness shall prevail over all odds. It has so secret,no arcanum,no initiation,save that of true understanding of the power of Love and that if we want to be so,the world will change if we change ourselves first. All those who belong,belong because they belong to the Church of Love.....Anonymous. Love and Blessings Tony. ===== http://members.xoom.com/aoclery/ (glossary incl?)
