Cathar Truth

About the Book

This is the story of my encounter with a monk from a shared past life in the thirteenth century. His message to me was “I want you to remember the Gilded Rose. It could be useful for you now. We were the Pure Ones, who were rent asunder for official gain in the Languedoc South, France. We were put to the rack in the Inquisition. It was not your fault. I love you, I forgive you, and I want you to be happy.” My thirty-five years of research of the fascinating life and times, origins, and beliefs of these Pure Ones known as Cathars are detailed in this book. They were taught by Mary Magdalene in the first century and persecuted by the church of Rome in a forty-year Crusade ending in their ultimate defeat at Montsegur in 1244. This book is my tribute to all those thousands, if not millions, of good Christians/Cathars, who stood fast for their truth in the face of certain death. It leads you into understanding their relationship to Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the Holy Grail, the Troubadours, the Shroud of Turin, the Knights Templar, the Ark of the Covenant, the Sacred Feminine, and more. This deeply researched book will enrich your spiritual life and give you insights into the beliefs and gentleness of a hitherto unknown world—the Church of Love—brutally suppressed by the medieval Church of Rome because they refused to obey the Roman Church's man-made rules.

About the Author

Beverley E. Gould has had an interest in Past Lives and Life after Death since her Near Death Experience in 1972. She has already published two books .."Child of the Universe"...a slim volume of poetry, and "Sacred Journey.....On Earth as it is in Heaven"...a story demonstrating the reasons for Reincarnation. Her third book "Cathar Truth" is very dear to her heart and she regards it as her magnus opus because of the extensive research undertaken to bring back into the light the truth about her beloved Cathars. Her pursuit of truth led her into studying Theology at The Faculty of Theology attached to Melbourne University. Confident then in her ability to write lucidly about complex issues and weigh up religious and spiritual matters, she set off on her journey to find out the truth of the Pure Ones and the words of her Monk. The result is a fascinating read. Beverley E. Gould lives with her husband and daughter in Melbourne Australia. She is an Author, Poet and Visionary Artist.
