"In the Light of Truth" - The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin
Abd-ru-shin’s work “In the Light of Truth” – The Grail Message, was written in German (“Im Lichte der Wahrheit”). It consists of 168 sequential lectures, which build upon one another. The Grail Message conveys to the reader and listener an insight into the working of the Laws of Nature and of Creation, which expresses the Holy Will of God. In a comprehensible manner the author describes the working of the different Laws which are interwoven right up to the finest ramifications. As an example, the effect of a grain of corn bringing forth a multiple harvest of corn follows a pattern according to the laws. However, this principle of nature is not restricted to the world of plants alone, but the lawful effects also return to the human being as a consequence of the thoughts and deeds generated by him. Man harvests many times over from the seed which arises from his volition, and such a harvest can then bring him joy or sorrow. In this regard however, the thought that the personality of a human being is restricted to only a single earth life must be broadened, for the human being is a wanderer who has lived on this planet earth in several embodiments as a human being. Thus, what happened on this earth in the dim and distant past was the work of present day human beings, for we were also involved in these epochs in earlier incarnations.
The themes Abd-ru-shin illuminates in His Work encompass the meaning of life and the task humanity on earth has to fulfil. Furthermore, the difference in the nature of man and woman is explained, in which particularly everything womanly finds expression in a manner which is finer and striving towards the Light.
If he follows the descriptions of Abd-ru-shin with an open mind, the reader arrives at a basis for the ability to perceive that which the different cultures on this earth call “God”. God, as the Creator of all things, in His Creation becomes truly perceptible only to those human beings who adapt themselves unconditionally to this Creation and the Laws active therein.
In this connection, there can be no separation between belief and science for both have the same origin and require an objective examination which can only take place free from any sort of restraints in order to grasp them.
In the foreword to his work “In the Light of Truth” – The Grail Message, Abd-ru-shin writes:
“The bandage falls, and belief becomes conviction. Only in conviction do liberation and redemption lie!
I speak only to those who earnestly seek. They must be able and willing to examine this objective matter objectively! Religious fanatics and anchorless enthusiasts may remain aloof from it; for they are harmful to the truth. The malevolent however, and the unobjective shall find their judgement in the words themselves.
The Message will strike only those who still carry within them a spark of truth, and the longing to truly be human beings. To all those it will also become lamp and staff. Without detours, it leads out of all the chaos of the present-day confusion.
The following word does not bring a new religion, rather it should be the torch for all earnest listeners or readers in order to find therewith the right path, which leads them to the longed-for height.
Only he who bestirs himself can advance spiritually. The fool who uses extraneous aids for this in the form of the ready-made opinions walks his path only as if on crutches, whilst his own healthy limbs are ignored for this.
But the moment he boldly uses all the abilities that slumber within him awaiting his call, as tools for ascent, he makes use of the talent entrusted to him in accordance with his Creator’s Will, and will easily overcome all obstacles, which may cross his path distractingly.
Therefore awake! Only in conviction does the right belief lie, and conviction arises solely through relentless weighing and examining! Stand as living ones in your God’s wonderful Creation!”
