there a substance and three principles whose whole forms chaos from where spouts out<br />

the running water fountain, the Mercury of the philosophers. <strong>The</strong> Sulphur of the<br />

philosophers proceeds of the putrefaction; it is the heart. Salt proceeds of the calcination; it<br />

is the form. Mercury, the child, comes from the conjunction; when it is coagulated, one<br />

obtains fixed Archée and the Dyeing. <strong>The</strong> manifestations of Tétragramme are always with<br />

half buckled; they send their rays on this world during their day, and these rays are<br />

assimilated during their night; the man receives these rays by the prayer and is assimilated<br />

them by work. <strong>The</strong> prayer, it is Ash, a fire supplied with the Chaos, and which volitilizes the<br />

fixed grounds; work, it is the fixer of the fluid, which reproduces the image of the higher<br />

things; it must be guided by Rouach Hochmael, the spirit of Wisdom, and its type is the<br />

luminous pyramid, motionless symbol of the infinitely active Trinity. *** Let us summarize all<br />

these ideas by extracts of Joachim de Flore who has the merit to employ a rather clear<br />

language and little technique. One will find them also expressed in the writings of the<br />

Brothers of the Free-Spirit. OF THE SON MAKES FLESH AND OF THE SPIRIT MADE<br />

BREATH. SEVEN GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT. " the Verb being made flesh was lived<br />

among us. II was God-Born; he which was invisible by the simplicity of its nature, it was<br />

done visible by its assimilation with the human nature. II wanted to be personified by the<br />

mystery of the voice among the visible men, in such way that those which could not<br />

manage by contemplation to penetrate the divine mysteries were brought to sublime for<br />

visible examples " Because it is not the same those which are spiritual and of those which<br />

are carnal. <strong>The</strong> eyes of spiritual are opened with the divine things. But for that the seven<br />

gifts of the Holy Spirit are necessary for them, gifts which the Spirit which is God distributes<br />

to each one as it it Thus likes " When the Spirit is spread in the hearts of faithful to Pentecost,<br />

it y effuse. " he is blowing whereas the Son is incarnation and it is not for the example of<br />

visible things that he makes better, but by the blowing of its gifts " (Apocalypsis).<br />

THE LOVE SUBSTANCE OF THE SPIRIT "<br />

For all those which will want to have the knowledge of the Love, which is the origin and the<br />

end of all the virtues and all the efforts, they have only to see what is hatred. Because<br />

hatred is of all things most odious, that which should never be forgiven. Thus, that the man<br />

does not consider anything more hateful than hatred, thus it is of God, who appears entirely<br />

only by the Love. I say to you, if it happens that your close relation, so even he is your<br />

brother, shows difficult character in his relations with you, and so however you know that he<br />

loves you at the bottom of his heart, you will support his acrimonies with a certain<br />

indulgence. If on the contrary you know that it hates you, of some care, of some caresses<br />

that it surrounds you, you will not be able to support his presence. II is certain that hatred is<br />

worst iniquity, it is such as the pit of Charybde, something the monstrous one which wraps,<br />

chokes and kills. And one can live only by the Spirit, which is the Love in its substance " It<br />

does not have a sin more serious there than hatred. It is said to me that there are others of<br />

them. Not, and, in my turn, I say that those which want to become the followers of the Truth<br />

have initially to listen to the truth " Because it is certain that there is remission for which sins<br />

against the Spirit, neither now, nor never, because the Spirit is the Love of God and that<br />

which does not have the Spirit does not have the Love. However, the Love goes towards<br />

the Love. Where there is hatred, it is not the Spirit, i.e. there is only death " (Apocalypsis<br />

Nova) the FATHER EAST FORCES --- the SON, SAPIENCE --- the SPIRIT, LOVE. "<br />

Without the Love, the religion is only one external appearance. However, the Love comes<br />

and proceeds of Wisdom, but not of the puerile wisdom of the men; it comes from divine<br />

Wisdom and this is why divine Wisdom precedes it. II does not have there higher virtue.<br />

One can say that Sapience and the Love are two priceless goods. However of both the<br />

Love is highest, because it is the emanation of the Holy Spirit " Thus, Wisdom proceeded<br />

of the Force, because the Force inspires the fear which leads to Wisdom; then Wisdom has<br />

an end which is the Love. <strong>The</strong> age of the Father is that of the Power, origin of fear; the age<br />

of the Son is that of Sapience, and that of the Spirit will be révèlera by the Love. " In the
