A Cathar Gnostic Codex: Henri de Nebours

This Codex is not meant for the exultation, nor denunciation of any belief. Rather, it offers a partial explanation into some of the deeper mystical aspects of Cathar Gnostic philosophy as understood by the advanced educated perfecti. Another reason is to dispel the view that Catharism is a pessimistic philosophy. Rather than possible damnation of the soul their beliefs ascended, for they yearned desperately for the reunion of the Divine Spark (our unchanging individuality, our very essence, as distinct from our soul) with The Source. Birth - death - re-birth, until eventually, all will be re-united with The Source. To me, no salvation, no damnation, but eventual joy for all - equals - no pessimism. Please consider this Codex, a mere insight into Gnostic Catharism, realising the roots of this Gnostic knowledge have far more ancient origins. The primary purpose for this Codex is to assist those it is destined for; to make or take from the Codex whatever is of benefit.
