"The Death of Papus"
From Papus, le -balzac de l occultisme: Vingt-cinq annees d occultisme occidental
by Dr. Philippe Encausse, Grand Master of L’Ordre Martiniste de Papus (Paris).
Translated under the auspices of l’Eglise Gnostique Apostolique in 2016 the “Year of Papus.”
Christ set forth with the dawn of our civilization. Papus acknowledged and loved him dearly. He drew strength and courage in his divine presence; he had realized the great law of Love and endeavored to apply it always and everywhere. And this was his only secret. He believed prayer to be highly important, and at times when he came across a difficult healing to secure or a favor to ask from “the friends” or even better, from a “friend”, or from the spiritual forces, he retired to his office in 7 Boulevard de Clichy, at Paris, to his apartment where Master Philippe had often visited, or as I have already mentioned, he went into the garden at the old church of Saint Peter of Montmartre and kneeled down before Christ who rests above…
In his, Advice to newcomers wishing to study the occult, provided below, Papus insists on the importance of the prayer and on the power of Christ:
"True esotericism is the Science of the adaptations of feelings. Feeling is the sole Creator in all planes, and an idea is a creator found only in the human mental plane, it hardly reaches the Higher nature. PRAYER is the greatest mystery and can allow for those who perceive in the Christ’s influence, and in the fact that God comes in flesh, to receive the highest influences in action in the Divine plane."
- PAPUS.
Finally, in the pamphlet printed of mysticism, which he had dedicated to the human soul before birth and after death, and which is used as a key to a gnostic book Pistis Sophia, a work of Valentin, Papus further describes the spiritual evolution of mankind, which before us is clear evidence of the importance he gave to the spiritual path.
“The First compulsory law is the rationalist stage: only facts strike the Mind. Then these facts disappear with the idea that they will develop, and all divisions between religions die out in the universal Love of the weak, and the soul gradually escapes from the worldly bases on which one’s efforts must be exercised. The enlightened becomes a Solitary and a mystic. And finally when Science is enlightened by Faith and Faith being coagulated by Science, these spiritual faculties must be devoted to help the weak evolve. Moreover, those who strive in conscious sufferings of the Third stage must seek for their purpose spiritual action even more than natural action. This is the righteous path disclosed by Jesus to all those who wish to follow him. The path of the masters of Life and Suffering can never be achieved through an Astral body; the spiritual body can alone reach this.”
Being faithful to the principles and the ideas developed by him; Gerard Encausse-Papus was voluntarily at the battlefront when the war broke out in 1914. The chief physician (with the rank of a captain) of an “ambulance” (the ambulance no. 14 with 5 Army corps of which 3 were Armed) which included 9 officers, 73 men (among which 52 were nurses), 12 cars and 31 horses, thus; he gave himself completely to his patriotic work. In fact, he saw this devotion to his motherland as a sacred duty. It gave such joy to be able to heal the wounds that were brought to him. Such an emotion, such a poignant pain in the presence of such painful suffering, and a taint of destructions! The lines that follow, being extracted by his last book before “death”, are glaring proof of this:
“In Chaumont-sur-Argonne, close to Pierrefitte, lies a dead young German in a trench, holding his prayer book close to his head and above his eyes…
"Poor victim from the folly of the great, I honor you and thus carry those who have enlightened you at the last moment of death with my prayers. Sensing death near you, you were brave to prepare your soul with the physical separation, and, dark hero, you have called the One who hears us all … May your deed be blessed. Whether you are an enemy to my motherland or an envoy of this vanity that had sacrificed the flower of its mankind only to fulfill the low satisfaction of their goal is no longer important.
"Smallest speck of sand in this devastating blow, you had left, you had obeyed, and you had become physically crushed in a trench at the middle of the French fields of France or near the woods … But if your body has returned back to this earth that had nourished and raised you, your Mind, which no material strength can take hold of, is free and can rise in glory within the Empyrean planes…
"Within the heart of Our Lord lie neither friends nor enemies when dreadful Death crosses over, there are only Minds that were sacrificed for the Ideal, and were terminated at the sudden end of their worldly journey.
"And the fragrance of the prayer has sanctified your last moments… and I passed over and felt your Mind, silenced in its well-earned evolution, and I also wanted to carry my prayers with yours...
"Enemies of yesterday, let us communicate in the ideal today, higher than human quarrels.
"You have a family, a poor child, a mother about to fall into tears, sisters who will remember, and brothers who will perhaps follow your path.
"And all, in their pain, will thus bow low and pray… Innocent victim of the blind ambitions against the conscious and bright evolution of free People, you carried out your duty, but the merciless hand of Fate had marked you with its finger, and your evolution is hence accomplished.
"Tomorrow you will come back to earth, but you will drink the Lethe… victim unknown… I honor you and pray with you…”
(Nice, On the 19th of September, 1914.)
For months, Gerard Encausse-Papus dedicated himself entirely to healing. With his commendable dedication, he strove to fight against Death, to restrain soldiers moved out from the ambulance 14, from both physical and moral sufferings. Unfortunately, his physical body being exhausted by the great deal of work, overwhelmed by the continuous labor, added to this the prodigious activity of more than thirty years, could not resist any longer… Already, a diabetic patient, Encausse; the senior medical officer contracted tuberculosis and had to be evacuated. He was treated and was then transferred to the Tours military hospital and then to Paris where he continued his career as long as he had strength. He stayed up to the very end, faithful to his ideal. He was well aware that he would soon have to leave this physical realm. As I previously indicated, he had even claimed the date to be the 25th of October to some of his close friends…
Meanwhile, some strangers with a despicable mentality, worked a certain black magic against him. It all took place on the 10th of October. During the night of 9 to 10, “someone” had come to peg pins on the front door of our apartment. These pins were skillfully arranged, such that it formed a reversed cross (upside down) and a coffin … The following morning, while admiring (according to Papus) this “beautiful work”, he commented: “They will be returning for at least two times more but doubtlessly, I would be gone before that. I am not allowed to defend myself as I might and would have done early in my time.” However he took a sharp knife, stung his finger with it, and gathered a drop of fresh blood with which he drenched the bark of a small tree found in a small nearby garden. Finally, he carved a certain triangle on the door…
The same pins were found the following week as well. Still forming the coffin and the cross. The servant who had seen them on the previous night (while coming on duty), and who had become slightly psychic, conceived such a nervous shock that she kept trembling and shivering all day long. Furthermore, she obviously asked to leave the very next day!
During these eight days, Papus gradually worsened physically… He did not want to defend himself vigorously, or cause a “backlash” since that would be against Christian morality. A seriously sick customer asked him where she could repudiate it, he calmly answered: “In astral, dear madam.”
On the next day, he left this physical realm…
Indeed, it was the 25th of October, 1916 when his overwhelmed body, denied him from responding to any service. He was sent to the hospital de la Charite to consult his friend, the Professor Sergent, a worldwide renowned specialist in tuberculosis, who was also one of my teachers at the hospitals and whose memory I would like to honor here. While climbing the main stairway, he suddenly staggered, spitting a great amount of blood and collapsed, struck down by what was called; the time, the galloping consumption had weakened him. He was dead, simply where he had begun his medical career. Cruel and yet, quite a curious coincidence…
As his coffin, covered with the three French colours, was carried outside the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church, or where the ceremony was held, a piece of an angel’s hand (a finger and not an angel’s head as was mistakenly written in V.-E. Michelet’s Les Compagnons de la hiérophanie) broke away from one of the sculptures and fell right into the center of the crown which I had placed on the coffin. A symbolical yet a strange drop which resulted in a number of comments from the crowd of friends, the obliged, and the disciples who were literally overpowering the very church and the square, for there were just so many of them who had wished to pay their final tributes to Dr.Gerard Encausse-Papus, their master, their benefactor and their beloved friend.
Papus’s tomb can be found at the Père Lachaise Cemetery. You could reach there by getting off at the Gabmetta subway and entering through the Gambetta door (Père-Lachaise Avenue). Once you cross the door, turn to your left and follow the great hall. At the intersection of 89 and 93 divisions, turn to your right and go back the hall counting 32 tombs (on your left hand side). Pass between the grave 32 (Aubert family) and the 33 (Beauvais family), and follow the small path where you’ll find the tomb of Papus on your right side at the 38th tomb. His mortal remains rest with those of his father, mother and his sister, Louise. Both Master Philippe’s tomb, in Lyon, and that of Papus are always decorated with flowers…
It was on this tomb that Sedir, accompanied with his master and his friend at his final resting place, delivered an impressive valedictory address where, in the presence of a meditative crowd, he said, amongst other things:
"I may perhaps be giving way the secrets of a friendship to which I have boundless honor, but it seems to me that until the crowning achievement of this distinguished career, a voice says it out loud that a countless number are whispering their gratitude. The scholar, the philosopher with magnificent insights, powerful propagandists, the applauded speaker, the clairvoyant, the skillful practitioner, and all these admirable aspects united in the person of this man of virtue, whose venerable remains are confided today, to our common Mother.
"Let us tread on the heels of this great initiator who wished to be no more than our beloved companion and who had enough strength to conceal his suffering and woes under a constant smile.
"Let us shed no more tears; for they will only hold him back in the shadows. And let us rejoice, as he had rejoiced for three days, intending to finally join the almighty Practitioner, the authentic Pasteur of souls, the eternal and beloved Friend to whom he was his loyal servant."
Such was his life and carrier, which was however regrettably too short! From a doctor of bodies and souls, to an ardent spiritualist and then to a devoted soldier of Christ, was all; Gerard Encausse-Papus.
With the honor and joy of being his son, I may perhaps be likely to adorn him with all his virtues and sacrifices. But I am certain it would not turn out to be an impartial or any constructive effort. I therefore consider it my duty to state here that, in the world of “Les compagnons de la Hiérophanie”. Eliphas Levi, Saint Yves d' Alveydre, Stanislas de Guaita and Barlet placed him significantly higher in the philosophic and the high traditional science domain.
Whereas Papus had the lavish and the learned verb of Eliphas Levi, who through his work, was posthumously his first master, together with the powerful insight and the great culture of Saint Yves d' Alveydre, the literary talent and the philosophic acuteness of Stanislas de Guaita, the encyclopedic and deep erudition of Barlet, while on the other hand, he was a brilliant director and effectively served the cause of spiritualism, correspondently to the mission to which he had been attributed by the divine Will.
As did Louis Lucas, he could conciliate the depths of the theoretical views of Antiquity with the outcome of the power of contemporary experimentation. It must be realized here that this was certainly a significant effort…
Rejected by some, misunderstood and defamed by others, certain freemasons treating him as “Jesuit” and certain intolerant Catholics calling him the “limb of Satan”, scoffed by a number of “strong minds”, he nevertheless continued to lead the good fight for the defense of a cause, which he knew was just: that of Christian spiritualism, of the union of Science and Faith, and he finally succeeded! This is what all criticisms done in good faith must or should realize.
During this hectic existence and this stupendous life – of fifty one years - Gerard Encausse-Papus, like everyone else, had his own agonies, sorrows, and failures as well. But he triumphed, being able to hide his sufferings and personal fears within a constant smile, for which he was committed to carry with his cross that was nevertheless quite heavy at times, along with several other things…
This is what I wish to remind of his biography which, if inexorable Fate had not harshly decimated the head teachers of the compagnons de jeunesse and of the highly qualified followers of Papus, would have benefited from being entrusted to a more highly competent and scholarly pen than mine. But even after sixty-two years after his “death”, what greater joy can there be for me to honor his memory once more, which I believe is inspired by my subsidiary affection, my full gratitude and my infinite respect.
And while anticipating on the great Gerard Encausse-Papus, how could I not mention this heart-felt profound thought, from the centuries-old Persian poet, Saadi:
When you were born, you cried, and the world rejoiced…. yet you lived your life so that when you die; the world cried and you rejoiced.

In his, Advice to newcomers wishing to study the occult, provided below, Papus insists on the importance of the prayer and on the power of Christ:
- Always choose a center where prayers (regardless of the cult) are practiced.
- Remember that true masters do not make books, and place simplicity and humility over all science. Distrust pontiffs and those who call themselves perfect.
- Do not restrict one’s freedom with an oath, chaining an individual within a clergy, or within a secret society; only God is entitled to receive an oath of passive obedience.
- Remember that all invisible powers come from Christ, God comes in flesh through all planes, and never enter the invisible level through relationships with an astral or a spiritual being not confessing the Christ in this way. Do not seek to gain “powers”, wait until the Heavens give them to us as long as we deserve to have them.
- Never judge the actions of another and do not condemn our fellow men. All spiritual beings may attain salvation through tests, sufferings, or with a life of dedication, regardless of his Christ or philosophy. Whether he is Christian, Israelite, Muslim, Buddhist or a free thinker, all human beings are equipped with the required capabilities to evolve in the celestial plane. Judgment is solely in the hands of the Father and not in mankind’s…
- Strongly believe that mankind is not forsaken by the Heavens, even at times filled with denial and doubt, and that we have our presence in the physical plane for the sake of others and not for ours.
- Remember that physical purification through food is childishness, unless it is supported by astral purification, charity, silence, spiritual purification and the efforts of not thinking or speaking ill of absentees. Bear in mind that prayer, which gives all peace of Heart, is preferable than any magic, which would give no more than vanity itself.
"True esotericism is the Science of the adaptations of feelings. Feeling is the sole Creator in all planes, and an idea is a creator found only in the human mental plane, it hardly reaches the Higher nature. PRAYER is the greatest mystery and can allow for those who perceive in the Christ’s influence, and in the fact that God comes in flesh, to receive the highest influences in action in the Divine plane."
