THE "PURE ONES" AND THEIR DOCTRINE 81<br />

Tabor, where he revea<strong>le</strong>d to his discip<strong>le</strong>s <strong>the</strong> real substance of his body. Since <strong>the</strong><br />

fall of Lucifer, Jesus Christ was <strong>the</strong> greatest of all angels, <strong>and</strong> for this reason he is<br />

cal<strong>le</strong>d <strong>the</strong> "Son of God." When Jesus said that he wasn't of this world, but ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

from above it, <strong>the</strong> Cathars applied this passage of <strong>the</strong> New Testament not only to<br />

<strong>the</strong> spiritual nature of <strong>the</strong> Savior, but also to his body. With this e<strong>the</strong>real body <strong>the</strong><br />

Eon Christ entered <strong>the</strong> body of Maria, like <strong>the</strong> "Word of God," through her ear. He<br />

<strong>le</strong>ft her as pure as he had entered her, without taking any of her matter. For this<br />

reason, he never cal<strong>le</strong>d her "mo<strong>the</strong>r," <strong>and</strong> this is why he said to her, "Woman, what<br />

do I have to do with you." 15<br />

The Cathars did not recognize <strong>the</strong> reality of <strong>the</strong> mirac<strong>le</strong>s of Jesus. How could<br />

he cure physical illnesses when he considered <strong>the</strong> body an obstac<strong>le</strong> to <strong>the</strong><br />

redemption of <strong>the</strong> soul? When he cured <strong>the</strong> blind, he was curing men who were<br />

blinded by sin <strong>and</strong> allowing <strong>the</strong>m to see reality. The bread that he divided among<br />

<strong>the</strong> five thous<strong>and</strong> was his Word, <strong>the</strong> bread of <strong>the</strong> soul that gave real life. The storm<br />

that he calmed was <strong>the</strong> storm of passions un<strong>le</strong>ashed by Lucifer. In this respect, it is<br />

possib<strong>le</strong> to apply <strong>the</strong> words of Christ: The written word kills, but <strong>the</strong> spirit brea<strong>the</strong>s<br />

life.<br />

Because <strong>the</strong> body of Christ was not of Earthly nature, his crucifixion was only<br />

an apparition; this was <strong>the</strong> only way possib<strong>le</strong> that he could rise to Heaven. A<br />

heavenly ascension with a body of f<strong>le</strong>sh <strong>and</strong> blood appeared absurd to <strong>the</strong> Cathars.<br />

A human body cannot go to heaven; an Eon cannot die.<br />

Ye judge after <strong>the</strong> f<strong>le</strong>sh, I judge no man.<br />

JOHN 13:15<br />

For <strong>the</strong> Occitan heretics, <strong>the</strong> passion of Christ represents nothing o<strong>the</strong>r than<br />

<strong>the</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>iose myth of <strong>the</strong> "sacrifice of love" that renders divine.<br />

The total Christ has not appeared on Earth,<br />

His divine human image must still be comp<strong>le</strong>ted,<br />

Once when <strong>the</strong> salvation of <strong>the</strong> World will be consummated, <strong>the</strong><br />

rendition, when God <strong>and</strong> man unite in a form, living in <strong>the</strong><br />

Spirit Also <strong>the</strong> image of Jesus, ref<strong>le</strong>cted in all ways, will become agitated
