The Dualism of the Cathars |
In this world, mankind must take into account the existence of two ‘different nature orders’:
The World of the Origin, perfect, the Realm of Christ where Light, Force, Unity and Love prevail. It is the ‘Motherland’ of the Spirit-Soul Man, the true creation wanted by God.
‘All things were made by Him.’
And a dialectical world, a world of fantasy, a degraded reflection and caricature of the perfect and celestial World. It is a field of endless change in which the opposites keep fighting; a place of ‘mingling’ in which all that is eternal in the earthly man – the Light-Soul – is trying to liberate itself, to be born again, in order to return to the original Field of Life.
When the divine Spark is awakened in the heart of man, he recognises the action of the ‘two natures’ and can then devote his life to the process of ‘rebirth’ of the Light-Soul.
‘To them who have received Him, He gave the power to become Children of God.’
