In The Light of Truth,
The Grail Message
The
Grail
Message
of
Abd-ru-shin
mediates
the
knowledge
of
the
upbuilding
of
Creation.
In
simple
words,
it
explains
the connections without a gap, and gives a complete survey of all the activities in Creation.
It
is
directed
solely
to
the
individual
human
being,
irrespective
of
creed,
nationality
or
race,
because
it
is
he
alone
who
has to bear the responsibility for everything he thinks, says and does.
Surely
and
unswervingly,
it
shows
him
the
way
he
has
to
follow
in
order
to
find
true
happiness
even
here
on
earth,
which means to attain inner peace and joyful activity.
The
root
of
all
evil,
of
present
and
past
afflictions
and
distress,
lies
only
with
the
individual
human
being.
If
he
turns
earnestly
towards
the
good,
everything
else
also
becomes
good.
It
has
an
immediate
effect
upon
marriage,
upon
the
family,
and
finally
also
upon
the
entire
people,
which
can
only
then
develop
its
own
characteristics
and
its
own
culture
to the highest degree.
In
the
Grail
Message,
detailed
explanations
are
given
as
to
what
the
free
will
of
man
really
is,
what
intellect
and
intuitive
perception, soul and spirit signify, their tasks and their relation to each other.
The
three
great
Laws
of
Creation
-
the
Law
of
Reciprocal
Action
(the
Law
of
Sowing
and
Reaping),
the
Law
of
the
Attraction of Homogeneous Species, and the Law of Gravitation - are explained in all their greatness and simplicity.
Thus
we
learn,
for
instance,
that
the
Law
of
Sowing
and
Reaping
(Galatians
6,
7)
applies
not
only
to
the
earthly
seed,
but
also
to
man’s
actions
and
thoughts,
which
through
the
working
of
the
incorruptible
Laws
of
Creation
ripen
into
fruits,
corresponding
exactly
to
good
or
evil
volition,
of
which
man
alone
must
taste.
Thoughts,
intuitive
perceptions
and
deeds
are
very
effective
forms
or
“works”
(Revelation
14,
13)
that
remain
connected
with
their
author
until
he
severs
himself
from
them.
They
form
his
“fate”,
and
some
times
he
is
struck
by
“blows
of
fate”
which
he
cannot
account for, although the cause of these was given by him in former earth-lives.
It
is
repeatedly
emphasized
in
the
Grail
Message
how
important
to
man
is
the
knowledge
of
the
Laws
of
Creation,
for
the
very
reason
that
his
spirit
possesses
the
ability
to
recognize
the
Will
of
God
in
these
Laws.
A
true
upbuilding
is
only
possible if man bases his entire earth-life on the Laws of Creation. Thereby he fulfils the Will of God.
We
must
take
these
Laws
as
they
are,
unchangeable
and
eternal,
always
the
same,
just
as
God,
Who
has
woven
them
into Creation, is always the same, the Eternal One.
Further
important
questions
that
move
the
seeking
man
are
dealt
with
clearly
and
objectively,
whether
they
concern
fate,
hereditary
sin,
the
meaning
and
purpose
of
life,
birth
and
death,
the
beyond,
incarnation,
the
sexual
problem,
marriage;
or
the
Mission
of
Christ
and
His
death
on
the
Cross,
the
Son
of
God
and
the
Son
of
Man,
the
mystery
of
Lucifer, the Last Judgement, the Cosmic Turning-Point, the Holy Grail, the Grail Castle.
As
regards
the
Grail
Castle,
Abd-ru-shin
says
that
it
really
exists
at
the
summit
of
the
Spiritual
Creation,
far
above
the
Paradise
of
the
human
spirits,
as
the
point
of
power
transmission
of
the
radiations
which
come
from
the
Divine
Sphere
above
for
the
lower-lying
parts
of
Creation.
In
the
Revelation
of
John,
the
Grail
Castle
is
called
“the
Temple
of
God” (Revelation 11, 19).
Only
from
this
height
can
an
unbroken,
comprehensive
view
over
the
entire
working
of
Creation
be
given
in
a
Message
from
the
Grail.
Hence
the
name
“Grail
Message”,
which
in
addition
receives
special
significance
because
it
appears
at
a
time when mankind stands at an important turning point.
The
Grail
Message
stands
absolutely
on
the
ground
of
Christ’s
teaching.
It
merely
takes
into
consideration
the
fact
that
the
man
of
today
has
so
trained
his
intellectual
thinking,
has
so
keenly
sharpened
his
instruments
for
thinking,
that
the
childlike
simple
belief
which
Jesus
demanded
at
that
time
no
Longer
suffices
for
him
to
be
able
to
follow
the
way
to
God.
For
that
reason,
the
Grail
Message
explains
Christ’s
teaching
in
a
language
adapted
to
man’s
present
way
of
thinking.
Thus,
a
knowledge
is
mediated
to
him,
giving
him
that
certainty
out
of
which,
in
place
of
belief,
there
gradually grows the conviction necessary today.
An
example
of
this
is
given
here
from
the
lecture
“Ascent”
from
Volume
I:
“And
so
it
must
rise
steadily
upwards
towards
the
longed-for
Light.
An
evil
volition
presses
the
spirit
down
and
makes
it
heavy,
whereas
a
good
volition
uplifts it.
“For
this,
too,
Jesus
has
already
shown
you
the
simple
way
leading
unerringly
to
the
goal;
for
deep
truth
lies
in
the
simple words: ‘Love thy neigbbour as thyself!’
“With
these
words
He
gave
the
key
to
freedom
and
ascent!
Because
it
is
an
irrefutable
fact:
What
you
do
for
your
neighbour,
you
do
in
reality
only
for
yourselves!
Solely
for
yourselves,
since
according
to
the
Eternal
Laws
everything
returns
to
you
without
fail,
good
or
evil,
either
already
here
or
there.
It
will
surely
come!
Thus
you
are
shown
the
simplest of ways in which this step to the good volition is to be understood.
“You
should
give
to
your
neighbour
with
your
being,
your
nature!
Not
necessarily
with
money
and
goods.
For
then,
those
without
means
would
be
excluded
from
the
possibility
of
giving.
And
in
this
being,
in
this
‘giving
yourself’
in
the
relation
with
your
neighbour,
in
the
consideration
and
respect
you
voluntarily
offer
him,
lies
the
‘love’
of
which
Jesus
speaks;
lies
also
the
help
you
give
to
your
neighbour,
because
it
enables
him
to
change
himself
or
ascend
further,
because he gains strength from it.”
