I came across this very close to 12:12AM on the day of sacred triune: 12-12-12. That is today.
I don't believe in hocus-pocus or woo woo or any of that, as a rule. I believe in what the sacred Earth has revealed to me through her majestic beauty and the relatives who share it. Sometimes these things have been of another nature of reality than what is commonly perceived. I am blessed to recognize my lack of understanding doesn't trump the existence of what I experience.
Upon that, I share this, and wish you all that is sacred, today and always.
The Cathar's Creed of 1244
(Remembered; for its time has come)
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 (mystery), 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.
