Eucharist

A Theological Argument Concerning Admission to the Holy Eucharist 

It is a principle of sound spiritual order that the Sacred Mysteries are reserved for those who have been prepared to receive them. The profane world, lost in the sleep of matter and governed by the disordered passions of the Individual, cannot receive what it does not comprehend. To offer the deeper sacraments to a soul not yet awakened by the initial light of Baptism would be to pour living water upon stone. This principle is just and guards the sanctity of the path of Reintegration (Réintégration).

Yet, the Holy Eucharist presents itself as a unique and singular case, a mystery that transcends the very order it establishes. While the other sacraments are indeed stages upon the path, the Eucharist is the source of the path itself.

The other sacraments—Baptism, Confirmation, Penance—are primarily actions of the Holy Spirit upon the soul, operations that awaken, strengthen, and realign the will. They are divine forces applied to the immortal Person (Personne) to aid in its struggle. The Eucharist, however, is not merely an action; it is the infusion of a divine substance. It is The Word (Verbe) Itself, the eternal Logos, veiled under the contingent forms of bread and wine. It is not a force that pushes the soul along the path; it is the very seed of divine life from which the path grows.

Every human being, however deeply fallen into the illusion of matter, carries within the dormant spark of their divine origin, a particle of life (parcelle de la vie). Baptism is the formal, sacramental awakening of this spark. But what if the spark, stirred by a sincere and unexplainable desire, turns toward the fire before the formal rite has occurred? What if a soul, unknown to the Church but not to God, approaches the altar with a heart already open?

To interrogate such a one would be an act of profound pride (orgueil), for it would place the priest in the seat of judgment over the inner state of a soul, a mystery known only to the Absolute. It would be to value the external sign (the rite of water) over the internal reality it signifies (the soul’s turning toward the light). The role of the minister is to dispense the mystery, not to guard its gates against those the Spirit Itself may have called.

Therefore, we must consider that the Eucharist possesses a dual power. For the baptized and initiated, it is Nourishment, the spiritual food that sustains the awakened second, spiritual consciousness (conscience seconde) on its arduous journey. But for the unbaptized yet sincere seeker, it can be the Seed, the very "shock of return" (choc en retour) that shatters the shell of the material consciousness and plants the living Word (Verbe) in the soil of a receptive heart. To deny this sacrament to a soul that seeks it in reverence would be to deny The Word (Verbe) its full power to create and regenerate wherever it finds good ground.

The invitation to the altar is therefore universal, while the responsibility of reception rests within the conscience of the one who approaches. We do not cast pearls before swine, for a heart that sincerely seeks the divine presence is never swine. We offer the Bread of Life freely, trusting that The Word (Verbe) Itself knows best where it will take root and flourish.
