In the Light of Truth Selected lectures from the Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin

For guidance!The bandage falls and belief becomes conviction. The mind only feels itself free and at peacewhen it is convinced. I am only addressing serious seekers. They must be capable and willing tojudge from an unbiased standpoint. Religious fanatics and irresponsible enthusiasts may holdaloof, for they are only detrimental to the truth and, as for the malevolent and the prejudiced, they will find their sentence in the Word.This message will only touch those who have a grain of truth left in them, and who wish torepresent a human being as he should be.To all such it will be a lamp to their feet and a staff in their hand, and will safely lead themout of the chaos and confusion prevalent today.The following exposition does not promulgate a new religion, it is intended as a guide for allhearers and readers to the way upwards, to the longed-for goal.Only he who starts of his own accord can advance spiritually. The fool who appropriates andmakes use of the ready-made opinions of others, is like one who dismembers his own sturdy legsand walks on crutches.As soon, however, as he boldly summons his slumbering abilities (they lie waiting to becalled to help him), he is putting his talent to account in obedience to the Will of the Almightyand will easily overcome all obstacles that seek to deter him.Therefore awake! Right faith is conviction and conviction only comes after submitting aquestion absolutely impartially to the test. See that you are awake and alive in God Almighty'swonderful Creation!Abdruschi

Yes, indeed, the tomb of Jesus was empty the third day! Is this a myth or a reality? Despised and rejected of men as a blasphemer, was his crucifixion a murder or a sacrifice? He was revered as Son of God, Son of Man, Lamb of God, and the Lion of tribe of Judah! Did Jesuss personality actually fit the billing of these self-contradictory designations? By inspiration? Does inspiration then automatically confer absolute literary authenticity on every ecclesiastical work selected by few individuals and published in sacred books? To what extent can we rely on this axiom? Made from the rib of Adam? Till this very moment, every male Jew is proud of his heritage of not being born as a woman or as a slave! So is it a burden of inferiority crises to be created as a woman? Most importantly, was Eve really a by-product from the rib of Adam? Homosexuality! The battle rages on, for and against. But is apparent attraction between homosexuals based on sexuality or due to other compelling reasons that result in same-sex couples walking down the aisle to tie the conjugal knot? These and other spiritually burning issues were deeply x-rayed. The work exposes barriers already set up assiduously by traditional beliefs, ideas, and schisms of religious dogmatisms. It challenged time-honored views and rent asunder many a false claim. Therefore, it is not unexpected if its contents attract relentless criticisms and opposition from circles of those already sided with rigidity and hypocrisy of philosophy and religions, particularly those professionally involved in the trade of perfidy. Truthfulness can never breed doubters nor idiosyncrasies of fundamentalism, whose main goal was to enslave minds of other human beings. It is on this basis that readers may recognize the true worth of this work.
