"It has no fabric, only understanding.
It has no membership, only those who know they belong.
It has no rituals because it is non-competitive.
It has no ambition, it seeks only to serve.
It knows no boundaries for nationalisms are unloving.
It is not of itself for it seeks to enrich all groups and religions.
It acknowledges all great teachers of all ages who have shown the truth of love.
Those that participate practice the truth of love in all their beings.
There is no walk of life or nationality that is a barrier, those who are know,
It seeks not to teach but be and by being enrich.
It recognizes that the way we are may be the way
of those around us, because we are that way.
It recognizes the whole planet as a being of which we are a part.
It recognizes the time has come for the supreme transmutation,
the ultimate alchemical act of conscious change of the ego
into a voluntary return to the whole.
It does not proclaim itself with a loud voice but in the subtle realms of loving.
It salutes all those in the past that have blazed the path but have paid the price.
It admits no hierarchy or structure, for no one is greater than another.
Its members shall know each other by their deeds and being
and by their eyes and by no other outward sign, save the fraternal embrace.
Each one will dedicate their life to the silent loving
of their neighbor and environment and the planet,
while carrying out their task, however exalted or humble.
It has no reward to offer either here or the hereafter,
save that of the ineffable joy of being and loving.
Each shall seek to advance the cause of understanding
doing well by stealth and teaching only by example.
They shall heal their neighbor, their community and our planet.
They shall know no fear and feel no shame
and their witness shall prevail over all odds.
It has no secret, no Arcanum, no initiation
save that of the true understanding of the power of love,
and that, if we want it to be so, the world will change,
but only if we change ourselves first.
All those who belong, belong, that is the unity of Love."
-Cathar Prophesy of 1244
