It was inevitable that the Military and Religious Order of the Templars
and the Cathar movement had connections. They existed in a similar
space-time: essentially medieval Languedoc (former region of the South of
France). Catharism emerged in Europe, just as the Order of the Temple was
present in Europe as it was in the Holy Land. The two come from Christianity
and are only linked by this religious and societal origin.

Like the thought in these two streams, the religious / spiritual thought in
the Green Empire of the East and the West is a thought without nuances,
even simplistic, where the Good and the Evil are clearly defined and
separated .

Religious / spiritual thought in the Green Empire of the East and the
West also parallels Sufi thought in many ways.

Sufism finds its foundations in the Koranic revelation and is present since the
origins of the prophetic revelation of Islam. Sufism refers to what is referred
to in Islam as "ihsan / excellence", which itself is worshiping God as if we saw
him, i.e. Sufism aims to lead the initiate to vision and contemplation, which
moreover differentiates him from other sciences which are based on efforts of
thought, while the realized being obtains his science directly by unveiling and
vision.

Sufism professes that all reality has an apparent exterior aspect (exoteric)
and a hidden interior aspect (esoteric). Sufism doctrine is characterized by
the search for a spiritual state which allows access to this hidden knowledge.
