The Grail MessageIn the Light of Truth: The Grail Message is the main work of Abd-ru-shin (Oskar Ernst Bernhardt, 1875-1941). It is a collection of 168 essays, presented to build upon each other, forming a complete picture of Creation. In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message gives spiritual support for the problems and questions in life: Where do we come from? Where do we go when we die? What about fate and karma, Divine justice, free will, the Mission of Jesus, the Son of God, the Laws of Nature and Creation, and many others. In the wide span of its subjects, In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message also gives information about the "Grail." While ancient sagas and legends, and modern art, depict the Grail as an earthly myth, without being able to provide a conclusive explanation of its significance, Abd-ru-shin describes the Grail as a spiritual reality of the highest order: it is the connecting point between the Creator and His Creation. According to the picture of Creation as given in the Grail Message, human beings are actually only guests on this earth. They came from a spiritual realm, which is far above the world of earthly matter, in order to begin a course of development leading down to this earth. This path continues for each person through repeated earth lives (reincarnation). Through experiencing man's inner, spiritual consciousness develops, grows, and matures. This is the prerequisite for the way back to the spiritual realm, which is the goal of his path of development: man can and should return to the immortality of the spiritual realm as a conscious spiritual entity, and thus enter "Paradise." The Laws of Creation provide each human spirit with support on his way. Unchangeably interwoven from the beginning, they bear within, like the Ten Commandments, the Love, Grace, and Justice of the Creator. To truly know and understand the way these laws work is essential for successfully navigating one's way through life. Therefore, the explanation of these Laws runs like a thread through the lectures of In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message. Also described in the work is the relationship between the sexes: "male" and "female" each represent a specific, separate "principle," each of equal value for the total Creation. Therefore, any claims by the sexes for special rights are untenable, as is the view that man and woman are the same in their qualities and nature. There is a polarity between man and woman, which, since it has been incorrectly understood in the past, has led over the centuries to constant battles between the sexes. The Grail Message explains that the only way to end the conflict is to recognize and understand the special qualities of each sex and their special tasks in Creation.
