The Mistery of Belicena Villca transformations : it seemed as if the entire efforts of the people were suddenly coordinated in a joint spiritual endeavor , in a project whose permanent realization was the generation of the brilliant civilization of Oc . Poetry , music , dance , choral singing , literature , reached there great splendor , while developing a Romance language of exquisite semantic precision , very different from the more barbarian language of the Eastern Franks : It was the " language of Oc " or " langue d ' Oc ", which gave its name to the country of Languedoc . In the structure of that nascent civilization , as one of its fundamental elements , Catharism was to emerge , which would no longer be a " Catholic heresy ”, as the Golen Church claimed , nor a religion transplanted from Asia Minor , as others claim . On the contrary , Catharism was the formal expression of the re-linking that existed a priori in Occitan society : it was the Gral , thus believed by all , that re-linked Occitan society and constituted the foundation of the Cathar religion .
But the Gral , when communicating the next coming of the Universal Emperor , also announced the War , the inevitable conflict that his Presence would pose to the Powers of Matter , perhaps the Final Battle if the times were ripe for it . The " historical moment " of the appearance of the Gral therefore required a special predisposition of the people to face the crisis that fatally would happen : it was time for spiritual awakening and material renunciation , to clearly discriminate between the All of the Spirit and the Nothing of Matter . Now you will understand , Dr . Siegnagel , why the Cathars organized as a Church and dedicated themselves to publicly preach the Hyperborean Wisdom : they were preparing the people for the historic moment , they were strengthening its Will and trying to acquire the " State of Grace " that the times demanded . If the Universal Emperor came , Kristos Lucifer would be closer than ever to the captive Spirit in Man , favoring its liberation : that is why the Cathars announced the imminent arrival of Lucibel , and encouraged the people to forget the World of Matter and fix the inner eyes only on Him . If the Universal Emperor arrived , deeply spiritual men would be required , who possessed the Hyperborean Wisdom and were transmuted by the Memory of the Origin , for the revelation of the Naked Truth of Himself , that is , it would take Men of Stone : that ' s why the Cathars formed and launched thousands of troubadours , initiates in the Cold Fire Cult of the House of Tharsis ; they had the mission to travel the country and ignite in the Nobles of the Blood , Nobles or plebeians , rich or poor , the Cold Fire Flame , the L-ove of the Goddess Pyrene , whom they named simply as " the Lady ", or " the Wisdom "; and the Nobles of the Blood , if they understood the Trovar Clus , became Newly-wed Knights with their Sword , a Vrune of Navutan , which they sometimes consecrated to a Lady of flesh and blood , to a Kâlibur Woman who was capable of immortalizing them Beyond the Infinite Blackness of Her Sign of Death .
Twenty-First Day
The urgency of the times had forced the Cathars to expose themselves publicly , an act that would cause , sooner or later , the inevitable attack of the Catholic Church . The Benedictines , Cluniacs and Cistercians soon began to raise their protests : as early as 1119 , that year when the nine Golen are installed in the Temple of Solomon , Pope Calixtus II fulminates the excommunication against the heretics of Toulouse . But such measures had no effect . In 1147 the Abbot of Clairvaux , Saint Bernard , Golen Chief of the Templar conspiracy , travels the Languedoc receiving everywhere samples of hostility on the part of the people and the lordly nobility . Since then it will be the Cistercians who will be in charge of stirring up the hatreds and forming a new Perseus people to destroy the " Occitan Dragon ". But the Cathars , far from being daunted by these threats , summon in 1167 a General Council in St . Félix de Caraman : there they resolve to divide the country , in the same way as the Catholic Church , into bishoprics and parishes .
