Religion / Re: Did We Really Have Past Lives? by Solray: 10:53pm On Jan 07, 2008
I have read  some posts that seek to put down experiences relating to re-incarnation as induced by evil spirits, coupled with the warning for people to beware of the devil. I would like to say that the ignorance displayed in questions pertaining to the WHAT, WHY, AND HOW of man in creation is sad; the fear in many to investigate is regretable, but to justify this fear, and to a large extent an underlying indolence by quoting scriptures out of context is only deserving of righteous indignation.

We are given the ability and desire to seek knowledge for our spiritual development for it to be put to use. I would say again and again that BELIEF is completely different from TRUTH.

There was a time when man for hundreds of years BELIEVED, "and it was taught in state and religious schools as INFALLIBLE TRUTH" that the earth was flat, and people feared to travel far, less they fall over at the edge "into the depths of certain death and hell". The few early scientists and nature observers who first said the earth was round were persecuted.Today the TRUTH is now known, widely accepted and scientifically proven that the earth is indeed spherical, closer to round than flat. This led to western missionary incursions into sub-saharan Africa

Tydale, the translator of the Revised Standard KJ version of the Bible was burnt alife on the stake, because he dared to differ from many positions held by the church, as was the fate of many people who were declared heretics, witches and executed all across europe's history of martydom. Today most of these positions for which they were cruelly murdered are now accepted.

For students of spirituality, I would say go into nature. In it you will find the LANGUAGE OF TRUTH that GOD eternally speaks. Observe every belief you hold, every scripture against the background of its working and you will find all TRUTHS confirmed. Truth will then cease to be just book/scriptural knowledge that you easily quote or regogitate but one that is based on personal experiencing that you can call YOUR OWN.

Any call to "blind faith and belief" is against the Will of God. It does not lead to raising human beings with a free, clear upward gaze towards Him but only cultivate religious slaves. Our beliefs should grow and become convinctions based on absolute Truth.
I would be happy, and welcome positions that provide answers 'in specific details" to the questions raised concerning re-incarnation. Quoting a few scriptural verses such as " the devil--- but to steal-------" is begging the issue and do not seriously address any of the critical questions raised.

Hello Sexytitan!

As a check againt the possibility of getting too used to the earth and the lower lying worlds, a longing for the pure and luminous realms is implanted deep in our being. This causes an inner restlessness that urges us to ever move forward. That is why most of us intuitively feel THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME. There is NO ONE to whom the picture of a higher plane as not been REPEATEDLY SHOWN albeit at various times in the course if his journey on earth or the immedidate beyond. We are ALWAYS ABLE TO SEE OR HAVE IMPRESSED ON US by various means LIFE IN A STEP ABOVE THE CURRENT LEVEL OF LIFE AND SPIRITUAL MATURITY Believe me,a little peep into the nearest plane of light will reveal a beauty so wonderful and enthralling that all the earth promises will pale to little significance.

Return we all MUST. Either fully conssious to enjoy the blessings that pervades paradise or as unconcious spirit germs without a personality. 

The amount of help surrounding us to help us fullfil our goal, daily and hourly, is amazing . Much of it is not recognized,left unused. It takes an extremely stubborn volition,carried on for thousands of years, to maintain the lifestyle capable of binding the spirit to the earthly-material worlds such that he is forced to experience painful this-integration and loss of consciousness in the final reckonning. If after all the repeated opportunities, efforts to call out to him, teach,admonish and warn him he still fails, then he deserves the fate that shall befall him. Tough you would say! But in the end, destroying the personality to permit for a fresh start is the only help that can be afforded such a lost soul. It is Divine Love steeped in Justice.

It is well. We need not live in fear of the judgement. All we need do is constantly keep the lamp of our spirit oiled by the Word of God. Keep the inner flame burning.And when the time comes we shall be borne aloft.

Thank you Dorcasde for offering to help out with articles on evidence of re-incarnation as contained in the Bible.

Kobojunkie!

Your views are well taken. I agree with you in saying that Doing The Will of the Father is not what man can achieve on his own.It must be said the he has a duty to keep the volition alive and surely help will come to him from God who in His Wisdom and Love populates the whole creation with many physically invisible chain of servants of His Will,who as Light vessels receive the power and blessings from on high and pass them lovingly to earthman for his ready use.He has given us all we need to make the walk with Him as easy as a child at play.

Righteousness is right standing with God. Earthman is on the path of development and The Wisdom and Love of God makes room for the erring one.I beg to say that man's righteousness is only "as filthy as rags" when he attempts to put it at par and equate with the Holiness of God. It is "pharisaical" when "in his own eyes" he sees himself above other men on account of "his perception" of the value of his good works.

The author of The Grail Message advises that the way to proceed on the path of doing the will is to avoid a "desperate struggle" to enforce the good,but an all embracing volition for the good,boundless and free should be allowed to well up from deep within, the point where humanity makes contact with divinity and flow outwards, pervading every thought and "bringing it to the obedience of Christ", (parenthesis Pauline) in a natural, unassuming, AND CHILDLIKE manner. Otherwise his effort will be like that of a man fighting the seven headed hydra snake. No sooner had he cut one than the other just cut grows and then it becomes all effort,no progress exercise. A weary to the soul.

I have tried what he taught and it works fine for me.

Now I realise, the thought that it is so difficult to achieve is one of man's worst enemies. Attempts have been to put him at rest by presenting to him an all too broad and easy road that plays to his love of ease, and is currently exploited,used as a bait by religious charlatans for the mass capture of souls,the bigger the congregation the better. 

I rest my case on this take by saying in all sincerity, keep up your faith kobojunkie, remain diligent and true and one day when you drop your physical body, you will Mount Up back home,borne by His Grace and ever watchful Love. May it be so - Amen! 

Peace and happiness be unto you!   

Cheers.

Hello Kobojunkie!

You views are well taken. Permit to me to respond.

Until now I have refrained from directly quoting scriptures. But Christ said "Not all who call me Lord,Lord will go to heaven but those who do the will of my father" AND "If you love me you will do the Will of my Father who sent me" Why is it that we are very quick to accept the GRACE and get all worked up if anything reminds us TO WORK?.

YES we are to abide in Christ even as He abides in us! This at the same time IS EVIDENT IN DEEDS which ultimately fullfil the conditions laid down by the laws.

This will be very hard for many religious folks to take. ANYBODY WHO FULLFILS THE LAW IS AT THE SAME TIME A CHRISTIAN IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. A CHRISTIAN IN DEED. This will be clear and TRUE only for that one who is capable of looking FROM ABOVE DOWNWARDS not BELOW UPWARDS. The latter, LOOKING FROM BELOW UPWARDS is the very limitation of religion to which, sadly, many well meaning people even amongst the highest ranks of the disciples of the vaious religions are subject.   

Now with regard to your mention of the fact that Christ spoke in simple terms, as opposed to what you and a few others imply is the complex language of the knowledge and revelations given to man in The Grail Message, I have this to say.

When Christ said "I am the bread of life that came from heaven,he who eats my body will live forever" It is recorded that many of his listeners exclaimed "this is a hard saying" and many who have been disciples and followers left him that day,amongst whom were teachers of the law. When the Jews confronted him with why he is teaching something new since they already had the Laws of Moses contained in the Torah, he responded by saying he had come to fullfil the law not to abolish it. Did they believe him? No. Did they recognize the new in what he brought? NO.The pharisees and saducees sent him to pilate, the common mob cried "crucify him!" What was the charge laid against him"blasphemer of the very One Who in His Love sent him"Only a few among the Jews accepted Him and His teachings.

That is man for you,nothing has changed.That man who has closed himself inwardly will always find a "plausible" excuse.Tell him you had a vision that there is life after death, he would say its a figment of the imagination. Speak with the authority of a prophet and he will label you a fraud. If Jesus Christ came back to earth as man,believe me those who will oppose Him the most will be adherents of todays christian religion,fathers of the churches.

But in all these, ALWAYS it's only those who have ears who will hear when a call from the Light rings out to men.The deaf -spiritually dead will pass by the moment for a new inner awakening.
Religion / Re: Did We Really Have Past Lives? by Solray: 11:02pm On Dec 30, 2007
Hello Dorcasde and Sexynitan!

I understand the theme of the experience you share. I had my personal experiences as well. In my teenage years I had a recurrence of an early childhood . Earlier in my life at about the age of 6, I fell sick and was pronounced "clinically dead". I found myself standing beside my body, could see my parents weeping,was led by a guide who took me up on an Island from here I could see the lower worlds below me. Pictures of my preceeding life was shown to me. The purpose of my current earthlife was revealed to me. The experience was branded on my soul and continues to guide me today. Well I made to tell the pastor in the church I was attending then, no sooner had I begun than he cut me off,verses were quoted that suggested my experiences were not founded on truth and special prayer sessions were called for. As you would imagine, I silently endured it while it lasted. I learnt a lesson that some dreams/visions are for you alone, for your own spiritual maturing, and if you share them with others, few if any would understand you.HA DOGMA! If you have the benefit of peeping into the reallife, you can only smile at what some people zealously uphold,to the point that they may kill,destroy or politely undermine your reputation if you dare to differ.

BUT I KNOW THAT I KNOW RE-INCARNATION IS A FACT OF LIFE.

On the subject I have this to say.

1.Re-incarnation is a fact of life, guided primarily by the creation law of reciprocal action.
2."A film of forgetting" is placed over our soul so that we may live in the present in our current lives
3.By the working of Divine Providence and Wisdom,those to whom pictures of their previous lives are clearly revealed is to aid them in closing a previous cycle or gain insight into present circumstances to help with their choices.
4. I would strongly advise anyone against subjecting himself to hypnosis,so called astral travels or any artificial means of stimulating the recollection of past lives. This is very possible BUT IN EVERY SINGLE CASE HARMFUL TO THE SOUL AND INVARIABLY THE BODY,the fact that it may not be immediately visible in the body or psychy notwithstanding.If it does not come naturally to you,then you don't need to know.Trust in the Perfect Wisdom of God to guide you.
4. It is not a question of recycled energy.The human spirit is a distinct entity, and we come and go always as human beings,not perhaps as a lion in one life, and maybe a bull in this one and then as man again in another, as some eastern teachings claim.
5.The real-inner core of earthman is spirit. This is indestructible. What is subject to destruction is his Ego-Personality.He is originally a spirit seed grain sown into the worlds of matter in order to gain self and ultimately God-consciousness and return fully matured to experience the bliss that pervades in his real home.One earthlife is insufficient for the human spirit to gain the spiritual maturity needed for him return to the point of his origin, paradise of the human spirit,hence the need for repeated earthlives.
6. However it is not a case of ENDLESS incarnation and re-incarnation, there is a time limit set to this period of maturing. A time when for man it is EITHER OR. Ascent to the regions of light or being sucked into the funnel of this-integration where the ego is destroyed and the spirit seed/germ returns to the origin,from whence he set forth unconscious, without a personality. The millenia spent in the pilgrimage to gain thereby becomes a complete waste,not the mention the torments associated with the process of tearing apart the self-consciousness acquired.

7.For many of us this may well be the last we would experience life on earth. WE STAND IN THE TIMES.THE JUDGEMENT. When figuratively speaking we have to sit for the final exam in the school of life.

8. Live completely in the present as if this is your very last chance not only to make good for past actions, but ascend to those regions were the cycle of coming into being,ripening and decay as operates in the material worlds those not hold.

9.Re-incarnation has been a widely held belief amonst all peoples,the fact that it dates back to the time when people lived in exclusive communities without the the exchange of information possible in today's world should indicate the possibility of this being a reality to the questioning mind.

My personal experience regarding the subject led me to research keenly on it, not that I doubted my experiencing but to understand how men have put it down in religious contexts. Though many people of the Christian religion may vehemently oppose any suggestion of re-incarnation.It has to be said that IT WAS TAUGHT ALL OVER THE EARLY CHURCH UNTIL 555 A.D. At the Ecumenical Council  held in Constantine, a simple majority of the church elders present voted to remove those books explicitly dealing with re-incarnation from the Bible.Those who voted "for" did so because they felt it made people slack in diligently living the Word of God and postponing the time when they must set a limit for having to atone.The intention is understood, but it compromised a Truth of life, AND BELIEVE ME MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED SILENTLY BECAUSE OF THIS, as the disquiet the experience raises in their souls simple can't be dulled by the call TO BELIEVE.

Those who want proof of this decision/happening may consult the records of church history. They will find it for sure.Inspite of that decision, there are still a few instances where the fact of re-incarnation is evident in the Bible as it is today. I willl not quote them, not that I don't know them,but let those who wish to find out for themselves do so on their volition.

I will end by saying that God Almighty rules the worlds in Perfect Wisdom and Love. At various times he has sent teachers, prophets who taught men, each bringing the knowledge suitable and adapted to the level of spiritual maturity of the particular people in question. These teachings were to form a rung in A SINGLE STEP LADDER IN THE PEDESTAL OF TRUTH if man left them the way they were mediated INSTEAD OF MAKING RELIGIONS OUT OF THEM. He has sent many to warn us of the impending dangers. Look at nature and see everywhere the sign of aging, setting the stage for a new era, a new earth. He once sent His Son Jesus Christ ,AN EMBODIMENT OF HIS DIVINE LOVE whose coming lifted the earth in its rotation away from the funnel of disintegration to permit us still more time and chance to make good,for salvation,before the closing of the cycle in the Last Judgement.Now again a message that SWINGS IN HIS JUSTICE calls out to man in the work "In The Light of Truth" The Grail Message, taking man through his beginning up to his current state, and then giving him the knowledge that lays the foundation for the world of tomorrow.

Hello Hmpwise!

May I kindly refer to one of the comments you made;" The best way to God is the individual and his accumulated karma" I am not trying to pick holes in your submission but like to put forth a perspective. If it pushes you to delibrate more deeply on both your comment and my response then I am happy.

There is only ONE WAY to the KINGDOM OF GOD. This WAY is none other than the DIVINE LAWS - Living in obedience to their dictates and in harmony with the Will of Him from Whom they issued - GOD. All that the various teachings around which men have built religions seek to do is teach us to live in such a way as to swing harmoniously with the laws

My emphasis on THE KINGDOM OF GOD is not a play on words as a superficial consideration may suggest. Man is spirit. His point of Origin-actual coming into being is the spiritual realm - kingdom of God "in heaven' -paradise of the human spirit.

God is enthroned above all the worlds. Above the Divine, which is higher than the spiritual. Man cannot step into the Divine, not to mention directly meeting personally with HIM.Why? Nothing can go beyond the level of its origin. 

Man cannot go to God, he can only enjoy a consciousness of His Power, His Love and Abounding Grace. He can  experience a most profound and intimate sense of oneness - a belonging to Him - a part if His Eternal Love. He is then at peace with himself and all creation.This fills him with supreme joy and in his happiness IS CONTENT TO BE. To live in this state perpetually is THE MEANING OF LIFE, To acquire this consciousness and gain the spiritual maturity/perfection necessary for this is the purpose of our pilgrimage, our journey through the lower-lying worlds.

My friend!More about the paths and karma later.

FOR NOW LET US ALL TRULY BE! EVEN IF BUT A MOMENT,AMEN!

Greetings Dorcasde!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate the complement.

By the way, I completely share your concern about posting lectures from the Grail Message on this thread. It is in my opinion an infringement on copyright laws, where express permission is not given by the Publisher. And I doubt that is the case here. I have written directly to a couple of people who have done so in this thread, to express my very grave concerns. Besides, the lectures contained in the Grail Message follow sequentially in terms of building precept upon precept,beginning from what is familiar and preparing the human spirit for new revelations that are given in the later stages .The author himself advises new readers not to read randomly, but page after page. To post them randomly in this thread defeats that aim.

The best way to proceed for those who have read the work and desire to lead others to it is, for me, to draw peoples' attention to the work by sharing their understanding, hoping that each individual will take the step to have a direct personal experience with the work "In The Light of Truth", The Grail Message. In this way his seeking becomes his personal responsibility,as is demanded by spiritual laws which hold that every man be free to exercise his own will. 

May the New Year bring you many happy moments of joyful experiencing. Stay blessed.

Hello Pilgrim,

You have asked adherents of the Grail Message to answer the question of salvation and redemption! I and a few others have done so.

I would like to have not only your response to my posting, but your personsl take on the issue.
Religion / Re: The Holy Grail? (Grail Message) by Solray: 4:40pm On Dec 29, 2007
Hello Kobojunkie, warm greetings!

I read your thread and would like to remind you that every good teacher who wants to enlighten his pupils on any subject would begin from what that pupil is most familiar with as he must build on previous/current knowledge. The laws of creation are not new to man, it is true, but mans understanding of their working in maintaining the whole of creation and shaping his destiny is suspect. The current state of world affairs in all spheres of life is a clear pointer. Let us assume his understanding has been without flaws, but you would agree with me that there would not come a time that men would exhaust the knowledge of the Wisdom of God. There would always be a need to move up a step higher in our recognitions; a need to extend spiritual knowledge in consonance with the development of the worlds. If you read the Grail Message, I am sure you will find at least one new thing that has not been said anywhere concerning the development of creation. And if that is all you gain it will have been worth the while. Personally, it has been a most rewarding exercise.

The purport of my posting these statements and sharing the knowledge, for me, as well for others with similar persuasion contributing to this thread, and anyone for that matter, who has a good grasp of the need to respect man's free will in spiritual matters is not to convert anyone, but encourage and stimulate the urge to seek true knowledge, as all men of genuine insight, spiritual forerrunners, prophets and Envoys of the Light have repeatedly  enjoined.   

Man need not fear in making bold steps to examine anything that lay claim to the Truth. We issued forth from the Truth and have it in us to recognize it. And when we do, we owe it to our ourselves to embrace it and apply it to our daily lives, even if that means accepting that what we held to be true before then was falsehood.
Religion / Re: The Holy Grail? (Grail Message) by Solray: 8:43am On Dec 29, 2007
Hsmpwise, your comments are noted and you show some deal of understanding about spiritual matters. I have this to say in response. First, there are many first school leavers who have read the Grail Message and who demonstrate a better understanding OF THE SENSE in the knowledge communicated, than most others like myself who boast several university degrees. Secondly, if I were you, I would not put the knowledge about The Grail Castle mediated in the work "IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH" as "in your words" pure gibberish. The Grail Castle doesn't exist "FOR YOU" because "YOU" cannots see it, neither have you permited yourself the posibility to understand the connections in the structure of creation.

Right now you cannot see me or tell my sex, not where I am located,unless perhaps you are gifted with the ability to see beyond gross -physical matter. Now can you imagine how very ridiculous you will sound if you not only deny my existence, but get my sex wrong before those who are presently with me,who can see,hear and touch me?

My mother has not been to the four walls of a school, but she once asked what the Grail is, and I told her, from the knowledge I gathered from reading the Grail Message, that it is THE POINT from which the power that sustains all creation flows. She not only confirmed its possibility, and holding it as true, but went further to explain its necessity, justifying why it is so in a manner that most Professors with all their learning can't. She is one for whom the partition between this world and the beyond is not so thick, therefore she had absolutely no difficulty in putting A TANGIBLE FORM to this point and infact educated me on why it must be that only that which is perfect must exist within this point/vicinity. One could have written a good book from her recognitions.     

I will understand if you are having a problem with the name by which this point of creation is called, and the mention of this in The Grail Message, which from the premise in your submission makes it 'a subject of a religious belief" rather than an invoilable truth.  But clearly, you must see the simple logic and truth embodied in this conception, if the "intelligence" you exhibit in your post is anything to go by.   

The Grail Castle stands living and true. Fortunately its existence is not dependend on, or affected by our beliefs and perception. A majority yes vote by man is not needed to validate its existence. Whether he accepts it or not is his concern alone. AS FOR ME, I have drawn immensely from the help afforded man from The Grail and wish that all men conscioulsy enjoy the blessings streaming forth from THE source, instead of passively, as is the case today.
,
If we can grasp that the Truth in any matter is One and our opinion of it does not count, then we would have the right soil within us to search more deeply into whatever is presentred to us and in the process grow from one level of spiritual maturity to another.irrespective of our race,creed or religion. AH! What limitation this word religion causes, with what chains it binds the spirit of man!
Religion / Re: The Holy Grail? (Grail Message) by Solray: 8:57pm On Dec 28, 2007
I have been refreshed by the views expressed by hnd holder,(though I am very concerned about his posting of lectures from the Grail Message), pilgrim and most especially Nwankwo on this thread. Pilgrim posed a question that bothered on REDEMPTION and I have this to say. MY views are based on my understanding of the Knowledge mediated in The Grail Message on the question. My advice is that everyone serious about being enlightened should examine the work personally.

The knowledge contained in The Grail Message indicates that Salvation and Redemption lie in THE WORD OF GOD. The WORD is expressed in the LAWS OF CREATION that men have called divine or natural laws. They have been and never changed and I like to refer to them as THE SCRIPTURE WRITTEN BY GOD’S OWN HAND. These laws embody the JUSTICE AND LOVE OF GOD. When a man lives in such a way that he stands spiritually bright and alert such that his words, thoughts and actions swing in Justice and Love, not only will redemption,by which is meant remission of sins come to him, but far more than that is ASCENT TO THE LUMINOUS HEIGHTS – PARADISE OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. The laws in their working WILL BEAR HIM THERE.

REDEMPTION LIES IN THE FULFILMENT OF THE LAWS OF GOD. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR MAN SAVE THIS. He must so LIVE THE WORD that it becomes an integral part of his very being so that wherever he is in any part of creation, he spreads only blessing, joy and happiness and LOVE. ALL THE LAWS IN THEIR FINAL WORKING CULMINATE IN LOVE. 

If you are a "Christian" you may want to ask how this position matches with the "popularly held concept' of Redemption by Jesus Christ. The following could be said in this regard;

1.Jesus is the Son of GOD. He came from Him. He was the WORD IN FLESH.
2.Being a part of the WORD and ONE with it, The WORD he spoke is for man SALVATION AND REDEMPTION. They bear the WILL OF GOD THE FATHER AND MARK MY WORDS – FULLFIL THE LAWS because they swing in PERFECT LOVE AND JUSTICE.
3.They not only point the way to paradise, but they constitute the VERY STEP LADDER THERETO. That is why HE could say “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh to the Father but by Me”
4.To receive salvation and redemption by Christ is TO EAT OF HIS BODY AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD. This means to let His Word come alive in you, such that they become part of you. Doing the will of the Father becomes the air you breathe. This is how confessing Him as Lord and Savior is to be understood and lived.
5.REDEMPTION IS NOT IN THE CRUCIFIXION, NOR THE BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS. This act does not in any way swing in THE PERFECT LAWS OF JUSTICE AND LOVE. It was plain murder, PERIOD.
6.Redemption is not made possible by PROPITIATION, but by REPENTANCE followed through by right living on a consistent basis.
7.LIVING THE WORD causes an Inner Rebirth, same as being Born Again. The force of its purity and power consistently maintained, in time, burns out any dark covering,ocassioned by foul thoughts or deeds, dropping them off as a matter of cause. Evil cannot FASTEN ITSELF TO SUCH A ONE and he becomes INDEED FREE. Simple as ABC.


THIS IS POSSIBLE FOR ANY MAN NO MATTER HIS EARTHLY RELIGIOUS PROFESSION. Irrespective of his religion, a genuine human being living in harmony with these laws will find salvation and redemption. The deciding factor is not the type of religion but the STATE off his inner being.

Righteousness correctly understood is RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD. To say that this is not possible with man except through the shedding of blood is a cruel attempt at mocking the The Love of God and what more His Holiness. If any man sins, all that is needed is for him to approach the Throne of Grace with a repentant heart and contrite spirit and the Lord in His Perfect Love will show mercy. And if he stays his course the sin will be forgiven and completely wiped off in the closing of the cycle of that particular action. In this sense redemption does not just fall onto his laps, as he must work to prove himself worthy of the Grace.

On a lighter note, Pilgrim and to others of the same persuasion; if I wronged you,realised, repented and sought your forgiveness, would you ask for me to cut of my right arm to appease you? I hope not. If you cannot bring yourself to ask for that how much the Creator of All the Worlds Who Alone is truly Holy?
Religion / Re: The Holy Grail? (Grail Message) by Solray: 2:07pm On Dec 28, 2007
It is a most erroneous PERCEPTION, to assume that there are many Gods and many truths.Anyone who is earnest about seeking for spiritual knowledge must have as a basic foundation the convinced knowledge that there is only ONE GOD, ONE POWER AND ONE TRUTH. JUST AS THE SAME NATURAL LAWS OPERATE IN ALL COUNTRIES WITHOUT CHANGE IN FORM, INDICATING THEY ISSUE FROM ONE SOURCE. This implies that there is nothing like Budhist, Islamic or Christian truth. If a budhist, moslem or christian plants a grain of maize, the harvest will be a maize cob for all parties irrespective of their personal wishes, beliefs or geographical location. SUCH IS THE NATURE OF TRUTH.

The truth would not plead for man's acceptance.  And the belief that he has a say on what is truth, is both self deceit, and arrogating to himself something that does not belong to him. MAN CAN ONLY RECOGNIZE TRUTH, NOT DECIDE IT. Whether he does recognize it, and therewith adjust his WHOLE LIFE to it as a matter of course OR NOT. WHATEVER CHOICE, HE BEARS CONSEQUENCES, GOOD OR BAD, METED OUT BY THE EFFECTS OF THESE LAWS WITHOUT RECOURSE TO HIS OPINION OR FEELINGS.


The whole of creation and the laws by which it is maintaIned is infact THE SCRIPTURE WRITTEN BY GOD'S OWN HAND. The basic laws are three. The Law of Reciprocal Action, The Law of Spiritual Gravity, and The Law of Homogeneity. They bear THE TRUTH and swing in JUSTICE,LOVE AND PURITY. They have issued from THE WILL OF GOD, THE CREATOR OF ALL THE WORLDS and like HIM have been from THE BEGINNING AND WILL REMAIN FOR ETERNITY. They are PERFECT, hence unchangeable. AND SHOULD BE FOR MAN THE YARDSTICK FOR MEASURING TRUTH, upon which we can base our beliefs and spirituality.

The Grail Message like no other work on earth offers a clear, intelligible explanation of the working of these laws. I have read and studied other spiritual books and found many contradictions in the scriptural statements, and intepretations that have informed the beliefs and doctrines of the major world religions and IN EACH have identified A PLETHORA OF CONTRADICTIONS when weighed against THESE LAWS. I have studied and delved into the Grail Message FOR TWENTY YEARS and I am yet to find ONE CONTRADICTION, if you weigh the proclamations and explanations against the working of these laws.

I CHALLENGE YOU TO REALLY EXAMINE THE WORK "IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH, THE GRAIL MESSAGE"  AND IF YOU FIND ONE CONTRADICTION,JUST ONE,PUBLISH IT AND PLEASE CONTACT ME AND DRAW MY ATTENTION.
