The
Cross of the Holy Grail
By Abdrushin
Heavy remnants of the darkness surge around the
earth as its only remaining stronghold provided by human beings whose volition
and striving continually offer it new nourishment and grant it new space.
However, the denser and darker the environment of humanity on earth becomes,
the more radiantly apparent becomes the luminous Cross as a natural
consequence. The Cross that God in fulfillment of His Promises gave to the
earth for this dismal time and that He planted in the midst of the darkness for
the salvation of all those who in true humility plead for His help. It is the
radiant Cross of Truth in which stands anyone who comes from out of the Truth.
And to come from out of the Truth means : to come out of the Divine, for in the
Divine alone is the living Truth which manifests itself through this Cross. I
have explained before that this Cross is not a symbol, not an emblem but Living
Truth itself. In how far the human spirit can accept this fact so as to
understand the meaning of my explanation is his task alone. In this I cannot
help him nor feel as he does. He must endeavor ever and again to get clarity in
seeing the sign as being alive, that the sign is Life itself! Truth cannot manifest
itself other than in this radiant Cross; for this Cross is the Truth! Since
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came from out of the Truth , thisTruth was in Him
and thus the living radiant Cross. And since I, too, was sent by God, the
Father, from out of the Truth, as was prophesied, the Truth is also in me as
is, therefore, the living, radiant Cross, not as a symbol of the Truth but as
Truth Itself. Inseparable and unimitable. Note well, however, only the Cross
with a golden radiance! A pale, wan cross can be feigned by the darkness but
never the living, golden radiant Cross which is the Truth and not merely
signifies It.
And this Truth embodied by this Cross which I
bear ,which is alive in me , belongs to me as my own, is a part of me, is the
base and foundational Cross which all true adherants of the Grail Message
strive toward ; those who endeavor to adapt all their thoughts and actions to
the Word, i.e. to truly live in accordance with its meaning, whether in the
family or in working life. They are to be servants of the Truth! This does not
mean to just speak the truth always and everywhere, which is the way this is
usually understood, but to live according to the Truth in everything which
means to live „naturally“. However, the concept of „living naturally“ is being
distorted by the attempt to encapsulate the terms „natural“ and „nature“ in
ludicrous one-sidedness. The slogan „back to Nature“ has already led to such
nonsense as raw food diet, going barefoot or without stockings and much more.
After but a few generations men would have turned their bodies back down into
hairy animal bodies in a quite natural, but consciously brought about,
retrogression! This strange urge is not surprising since human souls,with only
a few exceptions, have been voluntarily degrading themselves for a long time
and to very low levels.! A side effect of this degradation is the unhealthy
maudlin enthusiasm for adopting indecencies as a delusional concept of
non-existing spiritual progress , supposedly in order to put an end to
prudishness. This is done in complete misunderstanding of the noble statement:
„Everything is pure to the pure of heart.“
Holy wrath grips the light spirits that
recognize how the pure meaning of this statement is flung into the gutter of
barely contained lust, by hands that are dripping with dung.
Get rid of these errors! It is merely abuse of
Nature and anything but living a „natural“ life! To live naturally means in
reality to live in accordance with the firmly established laws of God from out
of which everything developed. That is not to live against these laws but with
them!
Perhaps he will understand it better if he
replaces the word „Nature“ which so easily confuses him with the term „real
life“ or „living reality“ into which every man is placed and which, depending
on his own movements, obstructs and disturbs him or helps him to advance.
The purest origin of this „living reality“ or
„real life in its purest form“ is described for humanity with the word „Truth“.
Something that is alive and bears nothing untrue or false but only what is just
and true without any blurring or disturbance. This in turn is the cause of and
the condition for purest harmony! I purposely say „something alive“ rather than
„ a life“ since the term „life“ would evoke wrong images again in people, too
restricted.
To the one who followed me attentively, a gate
will have opened to a new perspective!-
Thus, you are to serve the Truth! You are to be
servants of the Truth and apply yourselves to the right life!
This, however, requires a complete inner
transformation of mankind since they deviated from the actual true, real life
to lead nothing but a sham life and must be considered inwardly dead, They are
dead for true life or the Truth!
The transformation of man may be called re-birth
or being born again!
The Son of God, too, once said: „unless someone
is born again he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God!“
This being born again already happens during
life on earth. Those who have the volition are enabled by the power of the Holy
Spirit which I am able to to give to them and which all those who have been
baptised by me have already received. But the power will also be received by
those people who are baptised by my disciples to whom I granted the power to do
so.
As a sign of the power received to be re-born
and the commitment made therewith to serve only the Truth in every form the
Cross of the Holy Grail is borne which is the likeness of the living Cross of
Truth come to earth once again through me.
Every crossbearer must therefore be aware of
the responsibility he has taken on and be watchful so as to be able to always
regard it in faith, without having to blush or be ashamed. The Cross connects
him with me and thus with the power to make and complete his ascent; for as
long as he does not forsake his resolve the Cross will remain with him as a
sign of visible connection with me and through me with the living Truth, even
in the ethereal world and finally in the spiritual world. As he ascends it
becomes ever lighter and more radiant until It finally opens for him the gate
to the spiritual Grail Castle just as It will open for him the gate to the
earthly Grail Castle here on earth .
However, if he stains this Cross an
unimaginable burden will bear down upon him the pressure of which will
eventually crush and destroy him! For he perjured himself against what must be
most sacred to him, against life itself.
Therefore, this cross must not be worn
casually. It is not a trinket or a badge which can be tossed aside as soon one
is tired of it. Anyone who intentionally and casually puts aside this Cross, so
as to no longer keep the vow he made when he received it, then puts himself and
his spirit into a grave from which he will never be able to rise again!
This is true for every Cross, be it of silver,
of gold, or on a ribbon. It is not chosen as a membership badge but only
concerns the individual , each one alone. The cross does not grant him rights
toward another. It does not make mutual connections but always works and binds
only in a completely straight line to the origin of Truth itself. It holds him
as if he were tied to It with a lifeline which he can cling to when he falters,
if he so wills it. Such is the Silver Cross, which is held to be a sign of the
volition and the power to be re-born for the spiritual realm, for eternal life!
The golden cross signifies called ones who wish
to enter into direct service on earth, in order to help work, at my direction,
humanity and the upbuilding in fulfillment of the Divine Will. Just as the the
color of the gold is closer to the radiation of my Cross so it is to show that
the called ones in their innermost being as well as outwardly come close to me
personally, through the nature of their activity, that they connect my voliton
completely with theirs which requires that their activity be only in the
service of the Grail. If it is in the service of the Grail it must quite
naturally also be in mine since I am the Guardian of the Holy Grail. Thus the
bearers of the golden cross are obligated in their earthly activity primarily
to obey my Will.
However this obedience must not be
misunderstood. It is not the slavish, personal submission, but the voluntary
adoption of the exact direction of my Will, which rests only in the service of
God in the fulfillment of His exalted Will. And he who makes the Word of the
Grail Message truly come alive within himself and lives accordingly adjusts
himself to the Will of God and fulfills It, wherein lies obedience to me
personally. Therein lies also fulfillment of my volition. He who wishes to
serve me only to obey me personally, to please me, does not serve His Will nor
does he serve the Grail and can therefore not come close to me; for I value
only fulfillment of the Divine Will, nothing else.
It will always give me joy when a man endeavors
to fulfill the Will of God which rests in His Word, in the Laws of His
Creation. It is not difficult for a man to truly recognize the Will and soon to
distinguish between the true word from the false one ; for where the word is
not in harmony with the laws in Creation, i.e. with Nature, then the mistake is
in the word. Man will soon recognize within himself the harmony or the
dischord.
Such are the bearers of the golden cross. It
will be a large circle since the task on earth in the service of the Grail will
be great, greater than anything ever before. For this time it will intervene in
everything there is on the earth in the life of man. In the upbuilding it will
fundamentally reach into the ethereal and the spiritual sphere whence new power
streams to him in a continual exchange. The nature of the activity of the
golden crossbearers, however, is different. A part of them works independently,
following my direction, in various occupations while embodying the way in which
man is to work on earth. Newly awakened to life within themselves they are to
work among men as witnesses for the rightness of my Will. Another part serves
in support of my chosen Disciples, preparing and facilitating their path so
that the possibility for their fields of activity will not be restricted by
work that can be done by golden crossbearers.
For this reason no one must think that his
activity in the service is too small for him; there is no service at all that
would be so small as not needing to be done. Even the seemingly smallest
service is urgently required for the performance of a great, or even the
greatest task.
If only the smallest service is missing even
the greatest one would also be compromised. It can be compromised even by
negligent or careles performance of the small service. Moreover, even the
smallest service, if done in loyalty and purity, can be so elevated as to
noticeably reach into the greatest one. Whether something is to be considered
small or great is never determined by „what“ but always by „how“ it is done!
Many have fallen because they considered their
service too small and trivial;instead of giving value to the service by the way
they performed it , it was often taken too lightly so that the greatest part
had to suffer, and the called one came to fall, a fall from which he can never
recover. Every service is part of and absolutely necessary for the whole; and
everyone must employ his full devotion, his full attention and all his energy
for its fulfillment. When a person is asked to perform only a small service and
he fulfills it joyfully, with all his skill, then he makes this service
valuable, and before God he counts in the fulfillment exactly as much as one
who has to perform the greatest service. There is no difference.
However, he who feels slighted and considers
his service to be too small shows therewith that he is no longer worthy of
wearing the golden cross! He disrespects the honor granted him and is no longer
worthy of such Grace. The image is that of the chosen Disciples standing ,their
feet firmly set in the circle of the designated number of golden crossbearers,
their hands reaching out to me and being the connecting link to the entire
humanity!
If the foundation on which they stand is not
pure and clear, vigorous and loyal because of the discontent and of the nature
of the golden crossbearers , then this unsound condition becomes noticeable as
far as up to me, since I must, in the circle of my Disciples, stand perfectly
within human purity so as to , drawing from the Divine Itself, transmit only
that which is pure to all humanity. Therefore, everyone must stand firmly at
his assigned post or he will definitely be cast away so that another, more
grateful for being allowed to serve, can take his place. This much as for the
Golden Cross.
The Crosses with the stone on the ribbon
signify chosen ones who were called already before being born in order to form
that circle around me which is necessary for me to fulfill my mission on earth.
It is not a military scheme nor is it a matter of class or caste or has any
resemblance to any kind of earthly custom when these chosen Disciples here on
earth take a position toward humanity which entails , even requires, a wide
distance. The distance is not brought about outwardly, it is not created
artificially but is something quite matter- of- fact and natural and has a very
lasting effect in the ethereal and even more so in the spiritual sphere. It
arises automatically, simply out of the nature of the matter.There is no other
way.If I myself can justifyably be called Envoy of God, then humanity does not
go wrong in calling my chosen Disciples Spiritual Envoys. The term is justified
by the mission on earth which is solely for the purpose of being united with
me. The reason for the mission dates back thousands of years. Their being on
earth has had a single purpose: to be here at the hour of fulfillment and to
fulfill their respective task faithfully. A second crucial reason for the
distance lies in the reception of the Holy Power through me, which enables them
to bless and baptise those who ask for it. This is not possible for anyone else
on earth. The effect of the spiritual law is quite automatic and results quite
naturally in the necessary distance. In the spiritual and ethereal spheres
reduction or disregard of the distance is impossible and for humanity on earth
it is now law to keep the same distance, namely for all human spirits who
strive toward the Light. No one may consider himself to have equal rights.
There is no right so great as to grant liberties against my Disciples! Either
in demands or merely in wishes! Anything forbidden as a matter of course in the
spiritual realm must no longer be trespassed against by those who bear the
Cross of Truth! This does not apply to particular details but to everything,
without exception, pertaining to life on earth! In this all bearers of the
golden Cross in their preferential status of having been called already must be
examples to the others. Through absolute adherance and through their activity
they must set examples for the entire humanity, so that it will never come to a
decline!
In all circles there is common service with the
uniform goal of striving upward, every one at his assigned post. However,
community in earthly matters never comes into consideration. Since the
upbuilding of the Kingdom of the Millenium in the service of the Holy Grail
concerns the entire earth and, beyond the earth, has proceded throughout the
entire Creation, the absolute necessity of fulfilling the natural distance
requirements must be observed with iron strictness from the start! Only in this
way can the immutable spiritual lawfulness be observed which must now be
complied with in earthly happenings also, so as to prevent from occurring again
the presumptious laxity that causes such confusion as to make every earthlife
in our present time a pain rather than a joy and had to lead to ruin.
Upon you small initial circle on earth there is
now placed a high obligation. And in this too you must become radiant examples
for the new kingdom! Live according to the laws already now, show the
conviction of your will by fulfilling them, so that through your ways , through
your nature people, when they climb this mountain in search of help, will
understand these ground rules to be a natural matter of course and will carry
them out into all the world! Through your living example you will make it easy
for them, you will open their souls!
In the beginning it may be hard for you to
wrestle free from your former views, to renounce desires which may have arisen
from false concepts of Divine laws which lead to happiness and harmony only if
they are adhered to. Bear in mind that harmony does not consist of one tone,
but of a variety of tones flowing toward one goal, forced by a strict guidance
and immutable laws!
