A Path to True Enlightenment

The Cathars believed in a dualistic cosmology, where the material world was seen as a realm of imperfection and suffering, while the spiritual realm represented purity and enlightenment. Their teachings emphasized the need to transcend the limitations of the physical body and embrace the divine nature within. Through a rigorous path of self-discovery and spiritual practices, the Cathars sought to liberate themselves from the cycle of rebirth and attain union with the ultimate reality.

  • Wisdom

These rituals involved a purification ceremony, a laying on of hands, and the transmission of sacred knowledge. The Cathars believed that through these rituals, they could access the divine realm and break free from the chains of reincarnation.
