80 PART TWO<br />
he decided to cheat <strong>the</strong>m with a new strategy: He wanted <strong>the</strong>m both to sin in order<br />
to make <strong>the</strong>m his slaves forever. When he put <strong>the</strong>m in paradise, he forbade <strong>the</strong>m—<br />
to give more encouragement to <strong>the</strong>ir natural curiosity—to eat from <strong>the</strong> tree of<br />
science. He transformed himself into a snake <strong>and</strong> seduced Eve, who in turn<br />
induced Adam to commit <strong>the</strong> original sin.<br />
Lucifer knew very well that God had also forbidden <strong>the</strong> first pair to eat <strong>the</strong><br />
wretched fruit. Because God would never want to see <strong>the</strong> multiplication of<br />
Lucifer's nature, Lucifer acted as if <strong>the</strong> prohibition of eating <strong>the</strong> fruit came from<br />
himself, to triumph in this way with greater certainty.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> Cathars, <strong>the</strong> app<strong>le</strong> of <strong>the</strong> tree of science was <strong>the</strong> symbol of <strong>the</strong> original<br />
sin: <strong>the</strong> sexual union of man <strong>and</strong> woman. Through carnal sin, Adam <strong>and</strong> Eve were<br />
disobedient. The sin of <strong>the</strong> f<strong>le</strong>sh, however, was <strong>and</strong> continued to be <strong>the</strong> most<br />
serious grievance, because it was committed with <strong>the</strong>ir full approval <strong>and</strong><br />
represented a conscious rebellion of <strong>the</strong> soul against God.<br />
Humanity had to reproduce, because Lucifer needed fresh souls. In <strong>the</strong> new<br />
bodies produced by Adam <strong>and</strong> Eve, he confined all <strong>the</strong> angels who had ab<strong>and</strong>oned<br />
<strong>the</strong> ce<strong>le</strong>stial regions with him.<br />
And <strong>the</strong>n, with <strong>the</strong> death of Abel, murder entered in <strong>the</strong> world!<br />
After a whi<strong>le</strong>, God had compassion with <strong>the</strong> fal<strong>le</strong>n angels who had been<br />
expel<strong>le</strong>d from Heaven <strong>and</strong> transformed into humans. So he decided to reveal<br />
himself to <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>and</strong> sent his most perfect creature down to <strong>the</strong> Earth, his supreme<br />
angel, Christ, who would assume an outwardly human appearance. Christ came to<br />
<strong>the</strong> world to indicate how <strong>the</strong>y could return to heaven, to <strong>the</strong> Kingdom of <strong>the</strong><br />
eternal light. 14<br />
I am come a light into <strong>the</strong> world, that whosoever believeth on me should not<br />
abide in darkness. Whi<strong>le</strong> ye have light, believe in <strong>the</strong> light, that ye may be <strong>the</strong><br />
children of <strong>the</strong> light.<br />
JOHN 12:46, 36<br />
Christ did not become a man, a creature of Lucifer; he only appeared as one.<br />
He only gave <strong>the</strong> impression that he ate, drank, taught, suffered, <strong>and</strong> died,<br />
revealing to humans a sort of shadow of his real body. This is <strong>the</strong> reason he could<br />
walk on water <strong>and</strong> transform himself on Mount
