Southern France, 1120 AD
Once the angelic host was reassembled after their three hour long break, the Mother looked toward her massive, and captive audience. The angels seemed to be loving this sermon. Enjoying the story of the Holy Grail. Absorbing every word and emotion given to them from their Creators, the Mother and Father of all things.
It had seemed like eons ago that this many angels were gathered in one place at one time. The last time being the announcement of the creation of humanity. The angelic host was basking in the fellowship of being in the same area of so many like-minded spirits. The energy being felt throughout was amazing. And all were soaking it in. Allowing this energy to permeate throughout their entire beings.
The Mother smiled at the feeling of the host, and resumed the teachings, “While all these fascinating events were happening with the Knights Templar, another group was having its effect upon the Holy Grail. This group was known as the Bogomils, and they would help create quite a stir in southern France.”
“The Bogomils came from an area that today is called Bulgaria. They were named after a priest in the 10th century who had left the teachings of the church, and began to follow a Gnostic dualistic belief system. The same belief system that was taught long ago by Philip and Bartholomew in the same area. As a matter of fact, that is how he came to believe in the Gnosis. He came across a group of believers that stretched all the way back to Philip. For Philip’s church had never perished, it merely went underground during the rise of the Roman church. When Rome wished to do away with all other beliefs but their own. Destroying all Gnostics, and labeling them heretics during the reign of Constantine.
“The Gnostics of Bulgaria were very much like the Gnostics of Southern France. The main difference was that the church of Bulgaria was begun by Philip, and the one in France was begun by Mary Magdalene. But both were very similar in their beliefs and practices.
“Starting in the 10th century, the Bogomils began to migrate westward. Toward the area of southern France.”
A map shown onscreen displayed the migration route of the Bogomils. It began in Bulgaria, and the area near Constantinople in Turkey. Some seemed to be heading westward through eastern Europe to northern France. And finally settling in southern France. Another group of Bogomils went through Italy, before finally settling in southern France. Both groups were heading to the same area of the Languedoc region. It seemed to the host that these Bogomils knew exactly where they were heading.
The Mother spoke, “As you can see, the Bogomils knew where they were going.”
“You may be asking yourselves, how did they know where to go? How did they know that there would be a fellow group of Gnostics awaiting them in southern France? The truth is simple. Before Philip passed away from that world to this one, he told his closest followers of the secret of the location of Mary Magdalene, and her family. That they were secreted away to southern France for the protection of the holy royal bloodline. For the preservation of the Holy Grail.
“The reason for their departure from Bulgaria to France is that a message was sent one evening from the Father to many members of the Bogomils. It was a dream, telling them that it was time for them to join their brethren in France. Comparing their dreams, and interpreting its message, the members of the Bogomils assembled the next day, and decided that it was time to migrate. And that is exactly what they did. The Bogomils listened to the spirit of the Father, and headed westward.
“Once in southern France, it didn’t take very long for the Bogomils to find their fellow believers in France. It was a reunion of like-minded individuals. And both groups were pleased to know that they weren’t the only group who believed the same way. Yet there were a few differences. But these differences didn’t interfere in the evolution of both groups incorporating into one. The end result was the group that history calls, “The Cathars.” One group of people combined from two. The followers of Mary Magdalene, and the followers of Philip.
