    Paganism is a mental and govern-mental State, which goes backwards from organisation to wildness. Its formula: Primo mihi et sequere naturam. It is always symptomatic, not of Evolution but of Revolution. It proceeds from a vicious instruction, the result of a vicious education. One complements the other, such as the verb to Have complements to Be (In French, Tr.), and the vicious being, either self poisoned or poisoned by his environment, turns everything vicious, even a true possession, let alone a false.
    His character is that of a philosophist and politician, anti-religious and anti-social. He is a philosophist and anti-religious because he subordinates universal Reason to individual reason, the objective criteria of the first to the subjective criterion of the second. He is politician and anti-social because that subversion of the understanding becomes superseded in the Volition, and he tends to seize, by all means, Legality to make it the opposite of Legitimacy.
    Periodic in its historical crises, chronic in the ontological cause, that morbid state is natural in the fallen human Spirit, deprived from his two true criteria that we shall study later on: Science and Life. In vain, he erects his own Philomania in a system, under the name of Philosophy and even Theosophy, his essence is Anarchy, and that Anarchy is: Fiat Voluntas Mea! Such is the Volition of Mankind. To create a rule and to presume that this rule is true by measuring it against other rules decorated with the names of Providence and Destiny, it is not to recognise any rule at all. It is to create three Gods, being two of them spare ones, and this it is, in fact, the intellectual Essence of Paganism, Polytheism of the highest degree.
    Fabre d'Olivet, to whom we shall refer later, attributed, after others, this doctrine to Pythagoras, but this has never been the doctrine of this great man. He knew rather well the Trimourti which, under different names, in the Indias, Chaldea, Egypt, Krishna had implemented as a substitute for the patriarchal Trinity, the same that was renamed by Saint John, Photo-Synthesis. Any concession that the founder of the actual Brahmanism might have wished to make, five thousand years ago, to the mental State of the Literate Soudras, was never intended to mean that Brahma, Shiva or Vishnu were anything else but the personification of the three Powers of the one and same God Creator, Transformer and Preserver, and this triad itself, was nothing else but the wanted inversion of the previous Trinity, lowered from the eternal Principle to the temporal Origin of Beings and Things; from the divine Universe to the astral Universe; from Biology to Physiology; from the World of Species to the Embriogeny of the Individuals; from Involution to Evolution.
    The mentality of that usurper caste, the Soudras, corresponded to the ancient primary Teaching and to some fragments of the secondary. Their homicidal cupidity had invaded and annihilated the social State of both peninsulas, their contemporary metropolis of Ninive and Babylon, the Templar Alliance of the Aryan Slavs, Argiens, Achéens (both refer to the Greeks, Tr.), and the hindu Pelages, reconstituted by Orpheus, the Ribhou of the Vedas. Therefore they were closed, both in terms of religious Law and Ontology, the meanings correspondent to the higher degrees of Revelation. With rare exceptions, they went alone from metropolis to metropolis expiating, by exposing to the most severe ordeals, their origins of revolutionary Yavanas, Mlechtas, Pinkshas, Soudras and Hyksos. This is what Pythagoras did, for more than twenty years, some would say forty. However, even after all the physical, moral, intellectual, spiritual purifications, the learned religious Corps would keep them under a long observation before re-opening in them the intimate Senses of Grace and of their life Up-above. In the majority of cases they would only reveal it to the residents.
    Regarding the learned masses, degenerated from the Orphic Word into their own wordiness, they were even further away from the Truth that Life is, than their lowest slaves were. Also, they have never seen in Philosophy anything else but their own egotistic Philomania, based on casuistic, on endless dialects, on mental and govern-mental anarchy. Moreover, these intellectual plebs, elevated to a class of leaders, will always be curious about while profaners of the lost Sophia.

    From Pythagoras to Hierocles the line of the horizon extends itself, almost fully, to accommodate secondary and tertiary Greek-Latin Studies, eleven centuries over sixty recount the best documented History of our terrestrial Humanity, because that History does not go beyond six thousand years, except for the sacred Books.
    Behold four centuries that this millennium of enslaving Paganism, of anti-social Bourgeoisie is the sole mental and govern-mental model of all European Universities, both sacerdotal and undenominational.
    Clergyman and Clergieman, this we shall differentiate elsewhere, stamp the same cliché of Anarchy into as many books as pupils. The latter, in their turn, stamp everything: Science, Art and Life, Legislation, Politics and Morals. But, the more one researches, the more the re-casting lowers the already sterile and mortal imitation of the Christian genius of our races.
    Each learned person, licensed in such a fashion, from the prince who inherits a throne to the lowest scholarship holder in a seminary or high school, gets the same vulgar instruction, the same commonplace mentality. Education might be a bit different where a Christian Hall is established, and only if that Hall has the possibility of offering such a type of education. But this possibility is getting rarer and rarer, almost exceptional, due to the parceling out of fortunes, to the uprooting of existence, to the anarchy of the economy, to the results of the same classic system incapable of managing the world it pretends to govern. Nevertheless, religious instruction and education is reduced, for everybody irrespectively, to pure and simple catechisation.
    These facts thrown on a pair of scales show a huge increase in weight favouring Paganism and a huge decrease in detriment of Christianity. Hence, it is the intellectual demagogy of the pagans, very weakly tempered with a pinch of Christian bourgeoisie, seated in every European throne as well as in every Clergy chair, inclusive of those of High Studies and compared Religion, the acme of that Anarchy.
    One does not need to be a great clergyman to see, as a result, that the Light of the Mysteries of the Father and the Holly Spirit is absolutely absent from top to bottom of those undenominational hierarchies. Simultaneously, the same Light contained in the Mysteries of the Son, Hierophant and King of the Universe, Word creator, Incarnated, Resurrected and Glorified is completely dimmed by this mental and govern-mental Paganism.
    Therefore, Instruction is made for Life and not the opposite, in the same way that the Law is made for Man and not Man for the Law, according to the word of Saint Paul.
    This is always the methodology of the Word formulating Life in everything, and in this case dealing with Life in Society. Education is therefore superior to instruction, for the first upholds the Being and the second upholds the Having. One is essential, the other assistant. But the character of the classic Spirit is that of replacing the Word with its wordiness and of superseding what is spiritual in order to usurp what is temporal. It wants to be both: Teaching Reason and State Reason, secular head and arm. Education is therefore its sole agent, because the political imitation of the pagans it is exclusive of the Being, and leads solely to one demonic possession.
    One could have millions and be nothing. One could have nothing and be of a priceless value. The sole value of Instruction depends on the use one makes of it; the same with fortune, talent, beauty.
    When the Hellenists of the Areopagus absolve Phryneus of all her crimes, for she is covered in shame, Themis marks the backs of those boars of the terrestrial Venus for the triumphal car of the roman butcher. This is the penitentiary system substituting the absence of education. The Mystery is such: it is necessary for Life in society to devour death and every cause of collective death. Also, one thousand years after Zoroastre, Moses repeats: "Our God is a devouring fire." Military history, from Babylon to nowadays, is but a long and painful commentary on that not less terrible word.

    Practical observation and direct experience of Paganism are before our eyes every single day. It is the passing infancy and adolescence of the family, under the scales of the political State usurper of the social State and its power of Teaching. Once public instruction is uprooted such is the Tree of Death, roots in the air, its spirit walking upside-down. It gets from Society, represented by the Family, a good and true amount of living gold, marked J.-C. Jesus Christ and, through incorrect transmutation, produces a false coin in leather marked J.-C. Julius Caesar, Hierophant and Emperor of the pagans.
    The child is a white page in which one could write every and anything, Heaven or Hell. He or she is a dear little human savage in whom one could graft all flowers of the two trees of Paradise. On his right, invisible, there is one Angel of Light, but on his left, a black Demon. The Angel brings the seven radiant Gifts of the Holly Spirit, the Universal; the Demon brings his seven tenebrous presents of the individual Self Spirit. Therefore, there starts in the cradle, a fight between the christian Revolution and the pagan Reaction, and that invisible battle between Light and Darkness is visible in the toddler.
    Not yet firm on his almost feet, he is one of the naked charming type, he is the only good one and the one that we can love. In his own way, he is already stating the declaration of human rights... individual human rights. Very soon, this will mean that duties are for parents; but the Angel is there!
    How happy do they look, watching the hatching of those beautiful flowerings of the first year of age, that ranunculus of free-thinking, free-consciousness, free-action with all their consequences, from the secretly absorbed jam pot, to the colic and the damaged socks. But the Angel makes a sign: Religion and Society are there! Jesus represented by the Father, Church by the Mother; for the depth of conjugal bond measures all the height of eternal Life. His mother is also very content, for the holly Spirit of Jesus lives in her, assuming happily all the duties of love that command all the young rights that were born. And her love does not want any more wings, so gross it is! does not want any more freedom of thinking, of conscience, of action, but all the chains, all the burdens are so light!
    Like the divine Master washing the feet of the Apostles, she gives herself totally to her celestial servitude, to the falsity of the so loved savage. Jesus says: " May the one who wants to be the first among all of you, also be the first to serve you." Words of a great gentleman of Heaven that only mothers can understand because they have the celestial understanding, that of the Heart.
    Blowing on him her spirit and her soul together with her life, she wants her ranunculus to become the most beautiful of the roses of both human and divine Paradise. But in the present order of the world, and above all, of its spirit, very few women can free themselves from that seraphic slavery, very few who do free themselves, know how to keep their clairvoyant love from the bondage of their own idolatry. Here, the danger starts; the danger that the Angel fears and the Demon awaits for.
    The cradle and the cot are the center of the eternal epic, that of Life. That smiley tiny being is the biggest and the most serious thing that might simultaneously be of interest to Heaven and Earth, in present times, in future terrestrial and celestial times, not only to the family but also to Society.
    This is why the divine Master wants us to let the children go to him; this is why he says: "The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who resemble children." To resemble children, it is to listen and understand. The child, as well as the woman, has the true understanding, that of the heart; the child listens to everything one says, but he only understands by example. Also, the educator must live what he preaches, otherwise he is only instructing without educating, what is worst than to leave somebody in ignorance. Worst, because the School of Life is the only real one; all the Universities reunited would not be worth the humblest lesson from Life.
    The little worker has that schooling at his poor parents place, and in that fashion he projects beyond the heart, all the learned classes 'made in university'. Of the seven black gifts of the Self Spirit, he hardly possesses the two last ones, and this is because he has nothing of himself, or very little, except for the affections which are goods of Being, more than of Having, and are actually the only True goods.
    But education must not be limited by the know-how-to-live of the World, for that would be only to know about what "appears to be" and not what really "Is", which is the real knowledge of Life. The latter without the former embalms the last depths; the former without the latter is a box of ointment which, although perfumed on the surface, it is rancid down the bottom.
    Where can we find nowadays that essence, that spirit of Life? Rarely in the soul of the learned ones; yet a bit within dedicated being or of voluntary discipline, priests and soldiers of vocation; a lot among poor people, within those who carry the weight of the day, without security for the future, within the working class knights, above whose shoulders contemporary Paganism weighs so much. But even this won't last long, thanks to the learned mendicants of the universal suffrage, those knights of the industry of politics.
    "It is harder for a rich-man to enter the Kingdom of God, than for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle" - said Jesus (the Eye of the Needle was one of the short doors of Jerusalem.) Richness is all that one has in oneself, starting with instruction; and, when that instruction is false, when one does not believe one is the sole responsible recluse before God, better to have nothing; richness, in this case, will only serve to make the 'Me' heavier, leaving it inflated. When the Lord recommends simplicity of spirit, he understands by that the availability for reflection upon Life, from heart to head; but if the head is filled with useless and nonsense things, it becomes the biggest objector and its Reflection is closed to Incidence.
    This is why, either one should not have any Instruction, except for the basics, or that all possible Instruction be reduced to simplicity, unity, and to the humility of individual reasoning before the incidence of the Word-God in the universal reflection of mankind.
    Therefore, we shall only make reference to the three races of the true terrestrial and celestial hierarchy; but let us not anticipate what should follow, and let us go back to the little pampered child, to whom the entrance in the Kingdom of Heaven is difficult. The woman in the Church is the only educator; man in the Lord is the only educator. The child who does not feel that mastery of love and wisdom, becomes the master of paternal and maternal idolatry. Little by little, the small reason subordinates the great, small will subdues the median will, the small superseded plant subordinates the entire garden and the gardener of the conjugal Eden. As years go by, the mentality of the little one will be developed around a box of defended toys, a Noah's Arc of idols, all a pagan philosophy in their use, and he will quickly transform that philosophy in govern-mental want, gentile approach, after breaking everything. The present gets shady, the future is dark. The Demon laughs, the mother cries, she loses more and more the firm direction and does not know where from to get help. In vain, she invokes the secular paternal arm: cane, martlet, smacking, the full arsenal of the Wisdom of Solomon shows itself impotent there, where Gospel disarmed wisdom has already brought everything to perfection.
    The angel prays; guardian of the seven social virtues, religious compassion is the mother of filial compassion. The priest comes to the help of the maternal priestess. He has the tenderness, but to it he adds his sweet gravity of the two first races, those of sacrifice, sacerdotal and royal. Like a ray, the blow of the Holly Spirit comes forward from him who exorcises the Self Spirit and in which one rectifies the mental of the rebellious child. The mother places her knees over those of her model, the Church, catechisation resumes the undecided, if not compromised, work. Catechisation starts the divine graft at the point where it can succeed, when the Word, through the lips of the mother, taught the Word in its divine source: the Prayer, and it would give itself, through the young woman, the answer of the Living-God: smiles, cuddles, kisses, light and heat of Life.
    The catechism is the primary Teaching, the best that might exist. But where is, behold, that Teaching of the second race, that makes superior that of the first? They are both, therefore, vital to the virile age, to the initiatic phases of life, to the initiation and conduct of individuals, and, through their Fraternities, as through the Orders of their races, to the conduct of Societies.
    The Gospel has but one Light, that of eternal Life; but that Light has several degrees, from the candle to the bulb, from the bulb to the Moon, from the Moon to the living Sun of existences and their spirits.
As soon as the first communion is accomplished, the child leaves the gold doors of the Church opened over the City of God, because the bronze doors of the University dazzle, swallow him and close themselves again. Terminated is the education of Life. It has just started, but the instruction of death will blow it over. Behind the bars where Cerebrus veils, the child will descend again to the degree he just surmounted, he will change his soul and spirit. Afterwards, the other degrees of the abyss open themselves before the young man; from puberty to virility, the mental of the soul feels over it, little by little, the weight of the glacial Spirit, death, the politics taught by the mercenaries of Government, instead of the warm spirit of Life, the social of all arbitrary devotion. The graft again dries out, the savage regains his rights, the sap of the senses usurps that of the heart and, not exorcised any longer, the young spirit dresses itself either in rebellion or sucumbs to imposed acceptance.
    But, behold, the magic lantern of Paganism that starts its projections, its invocations and helas! its mortal reincarnations over an attentive mass of young mediums, living souls.
Homer, Horace, Virgil, Demosthenes, Cicerus, from all the saturnals of philosophical individualism and politicians, sophists and rhetors, all the lycantropy bourgeoisie of the Roman She-wolf, all the mediocratic Hydrotropy of the Greek He-goat.
    Such as an infernal possession descends onto the children! and how can they resist, for it has the reason of adult men, it misses a complete education, it misses an integral teaching, controlling one by one each doctrine, to check its errors or the truths having per baseline two objective criteria which we will deal with in the second part of this book.
