Creating Together
Everyone who longs to help in forming the supporting currents for the spreading of the Way of the Grail may be certain that the beginning of such helping and supporting starts in his honest, just conduct towards other people, to which is to be joined the ever-brightening radiance of his knowing spirit, walking ever more surely in the recognition of the way that leads to the spiritual home
Thus is each one of us to walk through life
To hold alive within oneself, in all the hours of the day, the lasting awareness of the high meaning of existence is in itself already the setting-out upon the Way of the Grail, and therewith a joint creating of the supporting paths for helping others
Precisely therein, in the greatness and at the same time the simplicity of spiritual working, lies the first, self-acting mediation of a refreshing and strengthening kind for all our neighbours around us
It is also true that without this foundation of pure, joyful conduct towards one's fellow-men, filled with creative power, in intimate spiritual union with the Light and with the Grail, nothing further can be built up
Whatever is built without this initial foundation must in the end collapse, however firm such building might appear at the outset, seeming to need no foundation, replacing it with strength of will, with discipline, or with learning
No building-up that strives to be in union with the Light, with the Grail, can leave out this basic link, which lies in the living, pure vibrating of the human spirit
Order, discipline, the fulfilment of tasks, respect for the hierarchy of social arrangement, persuasiveness, the skill to solve even the most complicated technical matters – all this, however valuable such qualities are, can never stand in the long run unless the foundation just mentioned takes part in all activity at all times: the pure radiance of a spirit striving towards the Light, and, flowing from this striving, a constantly honest, just, harmonious conduct towards one's fellow-men
Only to this foundation can higher knowledge be joined, and the power flowing from it for seeking ways to improve the ordering of life here on earth
Only with such an inner attunement can the lofty helps of spiritual kind, sent forth by the exalted servants from the heights of the Grail, also unite themselves with man
And precisely in the fulfilment of this foundation – in the brightening, the whitening of the spiritual garment of every single human being – lies that longed-for “Kingdom of God on Earth”, sought by many for thousands of years
At the same time it holds true that a really wise, knowing man bears within himself the understanding that the earth, despite the great striving of many, is still far from the ideal state and perfection which might perhaps already be expected to show in this or that spiritually striving neighbour
A wise and mature spirit here on earth will always keep within himself composure and understanding when judging the conduct of other people
He will always want to look first for pure and honest motives in them
And even if he should experience disappointment again and again, his spirit will still carry the faith in the better, which may yet awaken in others after all
It is not for us to judge whether this or that fellow-man is to be condemned by the Light
Judgment, requital, the balancing of all that has arisen – that belongs always and solely to Him who, out of the Will of God the Father, is King in the halls of the Castle of the Grail
Parzival is he who has Power over all the threads of all that lives
As spiritual beings we are, and shall always remain, only inhabitants of the work of Creation – weavers, in whose hands lies the power and the ability to weave pure nobility and harmony in every moment of our existence, and thus to sound in accord with the great choir of the harmony of the whole of Creation
With this inner perceiving and living of the everyday, let those addressed by the Way of the Grail seek, then, ways and prospects that bring support to this Way
The support of anything that is to bear within itself the promise of union with the Light, with the Grail, and therewith the promise of real values, needs to vibrate in the full experiencing of Jesus' words about the Beatitudes
