given, bearing with him life, magnificence and truth. This stone resembles a flame. The love
of the Verb eternal is a love of fire; this fire filled the world, and he wants that all the spirits
burn in him, He is so small, this stone, that one can press it with the feet without feeling it.
The Son of God justified the etymology of the word calculus. Obeying until the death and
the death of the cross, it vanished. Either man, but worm of ground, opprobrium of mankind
and contempt of the rabble, it put itself under the feet of the Jews, which pressed it without
feeling it. If they had recognized God, they had not drawn up its cross. There is more: today
Jesus is small and null in all the hearts which do not like it, This splendid small stone is round
and equal to itself on all its faces. The round form, the shape of the sphere points out the
eternal truth, without beginning nor end. This equality of aspect which presents on all sides
the spherical form indicates the justice which will weigh all with equity, returning to each one
what is owe him. What will give the small stone, each one will keep it eternally. This stone is
extraordinarily light. The Verb eternal does not weigh anything; it supports by its virtue the
sky and the ground. It is intimate with each one, and is seized by nobody. Jesus is ainé of
the creatures, and its excellence exceeds them all; it appears with which it wants, where it
goes, carried by its immense lightness; our humanity is assembled over all the skies and
sat down with the right-hand side of the Father. " the white stone is given to the
contemplator; it bears the new name, that that one only connait which receives it " All the
spirits which are turned over towards God receive a proper name. The name depends on
more or less excellent dignity their virtues, and height of their love " Our first name, that of
our innocence, that which we receive with the baptism, is decorated of merits of Jesus-
Christ. If we return in grace, after lost baptismal innocence, we let us receive from the Holy
Spirit a new name, and it will be a name eternal ". Summarizes and makes that words of
truth enclose with dignity a book which is only the humble echo of the most mysterious
verbs of our Occident. Removed from all them logosophie initiatory, the designs which we
have just presented are in substance in a small book fallen into the lapse of memory and
which had with the feather of a mystic with whom one makes the honor of an affiliation
rosicrucian: the adviser of Eckhartshausen. We want to conclude by summarizing the Cloud
on the Sanctuary and while indicating, if one wants to arrive at the nodes which it describes,
the consultings of the work which is entitled Some features of the interior Church, of Ivan
Lopoukhine, which recalls, for the satisfaction of the needs for the heart, the Imitation of
Jesus-Christ. " This interior Church really exists in a certain plan of Invisible, since the
creation of the world and will remain until the end of time. In fact the Holy Spirit informs itself
of it the members, and who presents to them the truth in all the parts of nature. The
members of this Church do not belong only to the ground. Its goal is to prepare the reign of
God; it is by its influence, by its collaboration, or with its contest, that any light is descended
on the ground, there germinated and y bore fruits. It is treated on a hierarchical basis, and in
its constitution, and its initiation. " the first degree, and low, consists in the moral good by
which the simple will, subordinated to God, is led. The means whose spirit of this school is
useful are called inspirations " the second degree consists in the reasonable intellectual, by
whom entendement of the man of good, which is plain with God, is crowned with the
wisdom and the light of knowledge: the means whose spirit is useful for this one are called
interior illuminations " the third degree finally, and highest, is the whole opening of our interior
sensorium, by which the interior man arrives at the objective vision of the truths metaphysics
and real " This one is the highest degree in which the faith passes in vision, and the means
whose spirit is useful for that are the real visions " Here are the three degrees of the true
school of interior wisdom, of the interior community of the light. The same spirit which
matures the men for this community distributes also its degrees by the coercion of the
subject matured " This interior school is communicated, according to the circumstances, at the
external schools which receive it according to their capacities; its members never are
convened nor joined together in body, unless that is not necessary. God is the head and it
is also obeyed by all, whatever the work that it assigned to them. The input in this school is
in ourselves but one finds the gate only when one is ripe, i.e. when one conceived the true
base of humility, of died with selfishness and of confidence in the kindness of the Father "
