THE GRAIL MESSAGE
What inspires us to share the writings from Abdruschin, Ismaël, the Principals and Spiritual Helpers from the Beyond in this time of an re-awakening of human consciousness?
This promised of Jesus:
“When he the Spirit of Truth is come….” (John 15: 13).
The Spirit of Truth did come and in coming triggered the Final Judgment, His birth was also as little a fanfare as was Jesus’. Vilified and rejected just the same, He fared no better under the hostility of the modern-day Pharisees and scribes than Jesus did in His day.
Still, nothing would stop HIM from bringing to mankind the Truth, which is the Word of God in the GRAIL MESSAGE: In the Light of Truth, as Jesus had promised HE would do (John 15: 12-16):
"Verse 12. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you".
Jesus, however, did not write down any of His teachings for posterity. Hence what has been written and has been regurgitated over the Ages always begins with the words, Christ said!
The Disciple John gave an account of a conversation with Jesus among them and which He was reported to have passed on to them, as he perceived and remembered it. But long after Jesus was supposed to have it, long after His crucifixion and His return back to His Father.
“Everybody knows quite well that after weeks or months have elapsed, he is unable to describe without error what he once experienced and heard! He can never repeat it literally word for word. And if there are two, three, four or even ten persons who simultaneously heard or saw the same thing, they will give just as many different versions of it. Nobody today still doubts this fact (Abdruschin).
Nevertheless, in John's account of what Jesus said there is a tread that we can safely follow, as it runs throughout other biblical accounts of various conversations between Jesus and His Disciples, and that is that Jesus lamented that His Disciples could not understand Him, such as what Mark wrote:
"… but they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it" (Mark 9:32) .
Such a misunderstanding is clearly seen in the account Matthew gave about the birth of Jesus (Matt. 1: 21-23):
“21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Imanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Matthew, eagerly awaiting the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophesy, clearly expressed his opinion in his account of the birth of Jesus.
For Isaiah announced “Imanuel”, the Son of Man (Isaiah 7:14), while it is recorded that the angel announced “Jesus”, the Son of God! (Luke 1: 30-31).
Verse 30: And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
"These are clearly two different announcements, which would demand two different fulfillments, which would in turn be brought by two different Personalities. This contradiction should have longed served as a warning to everybody that these [biblical] writings must not be considered as the Word of God, but only as the personal opinion of their author!” (Abdruschin).
This is the Mission of the Son of man, as the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth: to guide humanity through The Grail Message to the Knowledge of the Light, without being cloistered in narrow forms of religion ("… therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you", (John 15:15).
The Mission of the Son of Man is not about reducing the path to only one religion, for all the paths of the religions that humans take can help them; indeed, all these paths can serve for us as a springboard for a time, until everyone discovers the Path of Truth, which stands above any religion.
IN SUMMARY: The teachings of the Grail Message explain the Laws of God in Creation and give the knowledge of life that is useful to mankind in recognizing the Will of God in life. With the help of this knowledge we: humans, who in the time of Christ were not yet mature in our spiritual understanding, are now able to live the sublime life, according to the Laws of God in every moment of our life, in thought, word and deed.

"Verse 12. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you".
Is The Bible The Promised Word Of Truth?
Thank Goodness for the prophets of old like Isaiah, and the great leaders like Krishna, Zoroaster, Lao Tse, Buddha, Mohammed and many more besides, through whose testimonies and accounts the foundations of our various world religions were laid. Additionally, there are the Disciples of Jesus, and the Apostle Paul, through whom the legacy of the teachings of Jesus lives on.Jesus, however, did not write down any of His teachings for posterity. Hence what has been written and has been regurgitated over the Ages always begins with the words, Christ said!

THE GRAIL MESSAGE: In The Light of Truth
The Grail Message is the last eternal Gospel, is a culmination of the parts of Truth that were already sown in every religion, allowing that individuals from various religions can now be able to find back the Path of the Light. That is to say, by going further than was revealed in one's religion, and this by allowing to expand his or her consciousness in a greater manner, in this way one would be able to exit the limitations imposed by each religion.This is the Mission of the Son of man, as the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth: to guide humanity through The Grail Message to the Knowledge of the Light, without being cloistered in narrow forms of religion ("… therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you", (John 15:15).
The Mission of the Son of Man is not about reducing the path to only one religion, for all the paths of the religions that humans take can help them; indeed, all these paths can serve for us as a springboard for a time, until everyone discovers the Path of Truth, which stands above any religion.
