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.

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 .

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...
