past, the people of the Jews were informed of God only by his power which inspired fear;<br />

he adored in the fear. It was only part of God. Today, by the Son, the Christians know<br />

Sapience. But these only will know truly God, and entirely, which will know its Love by<br />

knowing the Holy Spirit. And this light will shine fully only in the third age ". (Psalterion<br />

Décacorde). *** God, according to Fludd, is this pure and catholic unit which<br />

includes/understands any multiplicity and which, before Creation, must be regarded as a<br />

transcendent being, alive in oneself, of a life without limits, in which all the things which must<br />

become explicit is implicitly contained. <strong>The</strong> universe was formed by Him on the model of a<br />

world preexistent prototype in the idea divine and exteriorized in a triple way. Monade<br />

eternal, without coming out of its own central profondity, has three dimensions: the point, the<br />

square and the cube. <strong>The</strong> unit multiplied by itself gives for square the unit; and this square<br />

multiplied by the unit gives the cube, i.e. another unit. Such is the image whereby the world<br />

created comes out of its source first and re-enters there. <strong>The</strong> Verb of God is triple. He is<br />

initially the Lord Jesus-Christ, our Saver; he is then it by what God created the world and<br />

by what he preserves any thing; he is finally the word of the Law, which informs the men<br />

and raises to the Kingdom eternal. However the word of God is his will; and its will, they are<br />

the covered angels of its power; but the men do not hear not physically its word because<br />

they would be pulverized; Adam is only with whom it conversed. He does not speak to<br />

the men any more but internally, in a universal language that each one translated at once in<br />

his particular language; those to which it speaks are consequently illuminated and become<br />

prophets and indicators. <strong>The</strong> Verb of God, in his creative action, is an eternal and invisible<br />

light which illuminates the worlds and the men. <strong>The</strong> word of the man directs the animals and<br />

acts on its similar; but, if it could realize, by the christic faith, works of God, his word would<br />

achieve miracles on miracles; if we had only large faith like a grain of sénevé, we would be<br />

Masters of the whole ground and of its inhabitants For the Rosicrucian brotherhood, the<br />

enigma of the world was only the perpetual descent of the Verb in the flesh and the<br />

regeneration of this one by the Spirit; the Abyss becomes the Light by mercy; God is<br />

carried out in the Man by the Messiah. This output, to employ the language of Boehme, is<br />

carried out of any eternity. <strong>The</strong> divine plan, according to the Rosicrucian brotherhood, is filled<br />

by triple gasoline of Jéhovah, the Holy Spirit and Jesus. For the school of XVIIe century,<br />

this ternary is solved into quaternary by Maria, and quinary when this Maria goes down in<br />

microcosm where it takes the name of Sophia. Thus, the divine gasoline which, in Eternity, is<br />

composed of God, the Person and the Verb, appears, in Time, like Père, Fils and Spirit,<br />

and becomes visible in our world in the form of Jesus Christ, God and man. Such are the<br />

two Paradises, celestial and terrestrial. (Madathanus). Tri-a God, or Jéhovah, very created<br />

anything, in Chaos, by the action of the Spirit. <strong>The</strong> primum Hyle of Wise in is extracted;<br />

there are firmament, the animals, the minerals, the plants, the macrocosm whose center is<br />

quintessence; microcosm, most perfect of the creatures; the man, the image of God, with his<br />

immortal heart which is a celestial and invisible fire. This human creature fell; but comes the<br />

Messiah, light of the grace and nature; thus, we must become aware of the Large Book of<br />

Nature while starting with the Omega, or the star of the nights, then while meditating by the<br />

virtues of the crucifiée <strong>Rose</strong>; then by concealing Alpha, the result. meditation, fertilizing sun<br />

(1) (Madathanus). <strong>The</strong>re are three admirable things: God and the Man, the Mother and the<br />

Virgin, the Trinity and the Unit; just as there are three primary colours: yellow, blue and red.<br />

(Madathanus). <strong>The</strong> Virgin, the Church and the Heart are the three wives of the Verb, in the<br />

Sky, on the Earth and in the Man. It is this triple specification of the Nature Gasoline which<br />

Kabbalistes call Shekinah, or divine splendour; they represent Shekinah in the shape of a<br />

pink. No human eye saw God; the prophets and the saints saw only the glory which wraps<br />

it; its image more resembling is the heart of the man. Only those which have the pure heart<br />

will see God, when they arrive at the perfection. On this ground It condescends to appear<br />

sometimes with right during their sleep. One sees immediately that there is, in the<br />

phenomenon of the redemption of the men, two opposite elements: one coming from in<br />

top, Grace; the other coming from in bottom, ourselves, the Merit. When the Verb helps us<br />

by means of the first, it seems Fils of God; when it goes down on our level to acquire the
