Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            be the writing of their students were saved? I mean, there should be something about
            their real life and teachings.

                  – Unfortunately not, Isidora. The Inquisition destroyed everything everywhere.
            The Pope sent his vassals even to other countries to destroy any manuscript or any
            piece of birch bark they could find... We were looking for to save but could not save
            anything.
                  – But what about people? Could they keep something or could there be somebody
            who would save it through centuries?

                  – I don’t know, Isidora... I think that, even if someone had a record, then it was
            changed over time. In fact it is in man’s nature to refashion everything in his own way,
            especially when he does not understand much. So it is highly unlikely that something
            was saved as it was. It’s a pity, really... We have Radomir and Magdalena’s diaries,
            but they were written before the Cathars. Although I think that the Teachings had not
            changed since then.
                  – I am sorry for my confused thoughts and questions, Sever. I see that I’ve lost a
            lot refusing to come to you, but I am still alive and I can ask you while I breathe, right?
            Will you tell me how Svetodar’s life ended? I am sorry for interrupting you.
                  Sever smiled. He liked my impatience and thirst for knowing everything I could
            while I have time. So he gladly continued.

                  – Svetodar lived and taught in Occitania for only two years, Isidora; but these
            years became the most precious and happy years of his wandering life.
                  He spent his days, lit by Beloyar’s merry laughter, in his favourite Montsegur
            surrounded by the Perfect ones to who Svetodar honestly and sincerely tried to pass
            what the far away Wanderer had taught him for all those long years.

                                                           6
                  They gathered in the Temple of Sun  which increased tenfold the Living Power
            they needed and also protected them from undesirable "guests" which wished to get
            there secretly unwilling to appear openly.
                  Soon an unforeseen and quite amusing event happened, after which the closest
            Perfect ones (and later the rest of the Cathars) began to call Svetodar a "Fiery one".
            It  happened  during  an  ordinary  lesson  when  Svetodar  was  slightly  "careless"  and
            showed the whole of his Spirit... As is generally known, all the Perfect ones were seers
            and  the  sudden  appearance  of  Svetodar’s  blazing  Spirit  truly  shocked  them...
            Thousands of questions showered down on  him, many of  which  even  he  could  not
            answer.  Perhaps  only  the  Wanderer  could,  but  he  was  unattainable  and  distant,
            therefore Svetodar had to explain it somehow to his friends on his own... It is unknown,
            whether he succeeded in doing so or not, but since that day the Cathars began to call
                                   7
            him a Fiery Teacher .

           6
             The Temple of Sun was a tower specially built in Montsegur which let direct sunrays through the window at a certain time
           which made the Temple look truly magic. Also this tower concentrated and strengthened the energy which helped the Cathars
           who worked there to lighten the tension and spend less of their vital forces.
           7
             It’s true that the name of the Fiery Teacher is mentioned in some modern books about the Cathars. Regrettably, it is not a
           real one... Probably Sever was right, saying that people redo everything in their way, having little or no understanding... For
           example, I found recollections of the "last Cathar" Deodat Roche who said that the Fiery Teacher was a Schteiner(?!)... Here
           we go again. The people of Israel, which never were among the real Cathars, is forcefully "fastened" to everything Pure
           and Light...
