How I discovered The Grail Message

Like most people, I was born into a religious sect, and it was impressed upon me that “we” were on the right path while every other group was on the wrong path. Based on this belief, I viewed other groups with suspicion and avoided them.

One day, while conversing with my uncle, he told me about this book and pointed out certain lectures in it with which he disagreed. I valued my uncle’s opinion highly because he was very learned and had introduced me to other works of literature that helped broaden my view of life in general.

On another occasion, while watching a television program, I saw a doctor who was a guest on the show. He expressed himself with great clarity, and I later discovered that his knowledge was derived from this book. Although his presentation impressed me, I recalled what my uncle had said and dismissed the impression it made on me.

Fast forward: I moved to a different town, and every Sunday evening there was a radio countdown that I enjoyed listening to. At the end of this program, another show came on immediately, always introduced with classical music. I never bothered to find out what the program was about, so I would simply switch to another station or turn the radio off.

One day, after the countdown program ended, my attention was drawn to another room, though I could still hear the radio from there. While attending to the task at hand, I was only half-listening to the broadcast, but the voice on the radio gradually captured more and more of my attention. I moved closer to the radio to give it my full focus. The voice belonged to a man who was reading lectures from a book called In The Light of Truth: The Grail Message. He read for about thirty minutes, after which listeners could call in, text, or email. He was bombarded with all sorts of questions, yet his responses were simple, logical, and clear.

This was the third time my path had crossed with this book. I did not take it into consideration then, but I decided I would tune in to the program the next time it was on air. This soon became a weekly habit, and I kept hoping someone would ask him a question he could not answer. That never happened. Many of the questions raised were the very ones I had on my own mind. Week after week, I was captivated by this man’s responses until I finally decided I must get myself a copy of the book.

I got the book (three volumes) and began reading non-stop. After finishing all three volumes, I had some reservations about certain lectures that I could not accept at the time, but the vast majority resonated deeply with me. Whenever a public lecture was held nearby, I would attend. I usually sat at the very back of the venue, observing everyone with suspicion. I kept waiting for that moment when I could say, “Gotcha! Your mask has fallen!” But nothing of the sort ever happened, and that moment never came.

It was not a lack of understanding of these lectures that caused my reservations; rather, I simply struggled to accept them because they were new. The explanations in the book were presented in a clear, logical, and entirely new light. I was so comfortable with the old ways - everything around me seemed to work fine, and I was surrounded by people who thought and acted like me - which is why I found it difficult to embrace this new revelation.

With these new revelations, along with some lingering reservations, I was eager to discuss this book with everyone I cared about. My uncle’s reservations made complete sense to me, yet I chose not to share my own with him. I also realized that others were not enthusiastic about my discovery; some even looked at me with concern or pity. Over time, I learned to contain my excitement and instead focused on gaining a deeper understanding of The Grail Message.

The reservations I had were all clarified through my experiences in the real world.

My experiences with The Grail Message

My exposure to the book - In The Light of Truth: The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin - was via the final authorized edition which has three volumes and usually comes with a green covering. The lectures are arranged to build up your spiritual knowledge which means you have to start with volume 1, Lecture 1 and progress in that order. Once you have completed volume 1 and you are interested in expanding your knowledge much further then you can obtain volume 2 and start with Lecture 1. And if you still feel the need to expand your knowledge much further, then obtain volume 3 and start with Lecture 1. If you decide to jump lectures and read them randomly, then this book will be of no benefit to you. If interested, you can make a purchase from here: GrailMessage.com

A few years later, I came across a different version of the Grail Message which is called The 1931 Edition. This version contains some Lectures that are accessible and not accessible in 'the final authorized edition'. The reasoning behind this was given here: The historical development of In The Light of Truth - The Grail Message.

At the same time, I came across two more books titled 'Resonances to The Grail Message - Volume 1 and 2'. This version also contains some Lectures that are accessible and not accessible in 'the final authorized edition'. The Lectures are more advanced so you must have completed either 'The final authorized edition' or 'The 1931 edition' before you can delve into these two. The reasoning behind the Resonances to The Grail Message can also be found via the external link provided above.

If you want copies of 'The 1931 edition of The Grail Message' and 'Resonances to The Grail Message - Volume 1 and 2', you can obtain them from here: In The Light of Truth: The Grail Message - 1931 edition and Resonances to The Grail Message.

The more I read, the more I came across writings centered on The Grail Message. One of such writings is: Other Lectures and Writings of Abdruschin. This book made a strong impression on me. I would suggest this book is read last (that is after reading 'The Final Authorized version - volumes 1,2,3', 'The 1931 Edition', and 'Resonances to The Grail Message - volumes 1 and 2') because you will need a very good exposure to The Grail Message before you can delve into this - in my opinion. The book can be obtained from here: Other Lectures and Writings of Abdruschin

If anyone is interested in reading In The Light of Truth: The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin, I would advise the individual to approach it in this order:

  • The Final Authorized version - Volumes 1,2 and 3

  • The 1931 Edition

  • Resonances to The Grail Message - Volumes 1 and 2

  • Other Lectures and Writings of Abdruschin

There are other writings that are centered on, or align with, the teachings of The Grail Message which helped broaden my understanding. I would suggest that at least The Final Authorized version - volumes 1,2 and 3 have been read before delving into any of these which are listed below in no particular order:

The key thing to always remember when reading is that the message is directed at the individual - that is, at you.
