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 and every other group were on the wrong path. Based on this impression, I viewed every other group with suspicion and avoided them.

One particular day, while conversing with an uncle of mine, he told me about this book and pointed out that there are certain lectures in the book that he disagrees with. I regarded my uncle's opinion quite highly because he was very learned and introduced me to other literatures which helped broaden my view about life in general.

Another time, I was watching a program on TV and there was this doctor who was a guest on the program. He expressed himself with such clarity and I later found out his knowledge was derived from The Grail Message. Even though his presentation made an impression on me, I remembered what my uncle said and dismissed the impression made on me.

Fast forward, I moved to a different town and every Sunday evening, there was this countdown on radio that I enjoyed listening to. At the end of this program, another programs comes on immediately and the introductory song was always classical music. I never cared to find what the program was about so I would just switch to another program or switch off.

On one particular day, after the countdown program ended, my attention was diverted to a different room and I could still hear the radio from this room. While I attended to the task at hand, I was partially listening to the presentation on radio and what this voice on radio was saying was getting my attention more and more. I moved closer to the radio to give full attention to this voice on radio. The voice was that of a man who was reading Lectures from a book called In The Light of Truth - The Grail Message. He reads for about 30 minutes and the remaining 30 minutes, listeners will either call-in, text or email. He was bombarded with all sorts of questions and his responses were simple, logical and clear.

This is the third time my path was crossing with this book, I did not take this into consideration then but decided that I was going to tune in to the program the next time it comes on air. This became a weekly habit and I was hoping someone was going to ask him a question he had no answer to. This never happened. Some of these questions that were asked, were also questions that I had on my mind. Week in, week out, I was captured by this man's responses that I decided I must get me a copy of this book.

Got me the book (3 volumes) and started reading non-stop. After reading all 3 volumes, I had some reservations about certain lectures which I would not accept then but at the same time, the vast majority of the Lectures resonated within me. When a public lecture is held and is within reach, I would attend. I would sit at the very back of the venue and still observed everyone who attended with suspicion. I was waiting for that moment when I could say: 'Gotcha!'. Your mask has fallen, but nothing of such happened and that moment never came.

It was not a case of not understanding these Lectures that I had reservations about but I simply struggled to accept them because they were new.

With these new revelations and some of my reservations, I was eager to discuss this book with any and everyone I cared about. The reservations my uncle expressed made complete sense to me but I did not share my reservations with him. I also realized that people were not keen about my discovery and some of them looked at me with concern and pity. With time, I learnt to contain my excitement and focused more on gaining deeper understanding of The Grail Message.

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

My experiences with The Grail Message

My exposure to the book - In The Light of Truth: The Grail Message by Abdrushin - was via the final authorized edition which has 3 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 accessible and not accessible on '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 accessible and not accessible on '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', 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 crossed paths with more and more writings centered on The Grail Message. One of such writings is: Other Lectures and Writings of Abdruschin. This book made a big 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 Abdrushin, 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 which are centered on or aligns 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 you must always remember when reading is that the message is always addressing the individual and that is, yourself.
