Martinez de Pasqually: Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings
The Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings was incomplete at the time of the death of its enigmatic author, Martinez (Martinés) de Pasqually (c.1727-1774). Pasqually had intended his treatise to be a commentary on the salvation history of man from the advent of Adam to the ascension of Christ, but what we have survives through the redacted copies of his two personal sectaries, Pierre Fournié (1737-1825) and Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin (1743-1803). Like his contemporary, Emanuel Swedenborg, Pasqually wrote of the mysteries of man's communication with angels, demons and spirits. His treatise is a systematic engagement with the cause and origins of evil, and how it is to be overcome as part of God's plan for the redemption of humanity.
