welcome, well come to day 46 of a season of peace and to the day marking the 778th anniversary of the siege at Montségur, France in the  the lands where Mary Magdalene carried out her ministry and the Holy Family / Essenes created the “New Bethlehem” after Yeshua’s resurrection… Montségur, the final stronghold of the Cathars during the Inquisition, was the sacred site where Roman soldiers searched for the Holy Grail and sought to destroy the last of the Cathars who were the spiritual initiates of Mary Magdalene and embodied teachings of lovingkindness and living in harmony with the land and another all of our relatives…

legend has it that on Wednesday, March 16, 1244, around 200 souls of Montségur who walked the way of love and refused to surrender their Cathar faith were burned en masse… some locals believe  that when the soldiers entered the space where the Cathars were captured, they had all dissappeared, perhaps ascending en masse…

let’s honor all brave souls who act in truth to power over by resounding the Cathar Creed as we imagine and be the New Jerusalem of peace conceived in love and lived in harmony, the sacred space always alive in the deepest core of the ground of being…

“It has no membership, save those who know they belong.

It has no rivals because it is non competitive.

It has no ambition – it seeks only to serve.

It knows no boundaries, for nationalisms are unloving.

It is not of itself because it seeks to enrich all groups and religions.

It acknowledges all great teachers of all the ages who have shown the truth of love.

Those who participate, practice the truth of love in all their being.

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, enriched.

It recognizes that the way we are may be the way of those around us because we are that way.

It recognizes the whole planet as a being of which we are a part.

It recognizes that the time has come for the supreme transmutation, the ultimate alchemical act of conscious change of the ego in to 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 hierarchy 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 outward sign, save the fraternal embrace.

Each one will dedicate their life to the silent loving of their neighbour and environment, and the planet, will carry out their task, however exalted or humble.

It recognizes the supremacy of the great idea, 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, our planet and living beings in whatever form they take.

They shall know no fear and feel no shame and their witness shall prevail over all odds.

It has no secret, no arcanum, 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 change.

All who belong, belong; they belong to the Church of Love.”

may we all journey along the path with heart deepening our connection to and alignment with source and our being one with beloved in this sacred moment of eternity, in every sacred moment of eternity…
