WHAT IS THE GRAIL MESSAGE?

On “What is the Grail Message?”, Werner Huemer wrote:

What is the Grail Message? This question is frequently asked in view of the title of the work, which is uncommon for our time.

The Grail Message is a compilation of altogether 168 lectures in three volumes concerning all the fundamental questions of our life. The lectures were written in the twenties and thirties of the 20^th century and offer an explanation of the World, a picture of Creation on the basis of natural Laws. At the same time the lectures contain valuable basic elements, as a help in life, for through the knowledge mediated in the Grail Message the reader is again to be brought closer to Life, to be led back to God.

In doing so the Grail Message addresses itself directly to the individual, without regard for his denominational affiliation. It speaks to the innate experiences of the individual human being, his strengths and also his weaknesses. In this way each reader has the opportunity to rediscover in his own life what is stated and subsequently to perceive it as true. Thus spiritual experiences, borne by the intuitive perceptions, together with intellectually familiar, matter-of-fact logical reasoning, can combine to form an all-embracing and complete World-picture in which there is no separation between the world that is visible and the great world “beyond the five senses” – nor any separation between scientific and religious striving for knowledge.

The lectures of the Grail Message, which permit an inexhaustible knowledge on the part of their author to be discerned, often give in succinct words only decisive hints for resolving important questions of life and are intended to be – as expressed in the Foreword – the “shining light and staff” for all human beings in quest of the Truth.

Yet it is a very simple path that becomes discernible through the Grail Message. It leads far away from any mysticism or esoteric abstraction, but makes considerable demands on every human being who would follow it. So for instance, it is not only readiness for independent, objective, impartial thinking that is to be developed, but above all a “firm volition for what is good”, which also includes the endeavour to “give purity to one’s thoughts”.

This work on oneself, that is to lead the human being to spiritual maturity, to develop him to become a strong, free personality, must be done by each individual for himself. Clinging to scientific or denominational dogmatism and the tradition-bound, customary or blind belief are against the very striving towards true humanity which the Grail Message wishes to further.

Instead the reader is to come from belief to conviction. This possibility is presented by the Grail Message, since the explanations are distinguished by a complete, logical consistency. They are developed on the basis of what are designated as “Primordial Creation-Laws”, whose activity can readily be experienced and followed by every human being.

But since experiencing and recognising constantly stimulate each other, furthering progress while encountering no inconsistencies whatsoever in the Grail Message, one also never comes to an end of reading the three volumes of this work…
