SINCE WE ARE BORN WE ARE TAUGHT TO COMPETE, AND VERY SOON WE ARE IMMERSED IN A SERIES OF COMPETITIONS, MAKING US BELIEVE LIFE IS ALL ABOUT THAT: POWER. BEING THINGS AS THEY ARE TODAY IT SEEMS REACHING POWER IS MANY PEOPLE´S AIM IN LIFE. THE OTHERS WHO ARE NOT IN THAT GROUP ARE CAUGHT UP BY THAT COMPETITION LURE, AND START THINKING LIFE´S ABOUT IT – EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN´T GO FOR IT – AND TRY TO PASS THAT COMPETITION DRIVE AS A VALUE ON OTHERS. LATER IN LIFE WE REALIZE THE REALIZATION OF SUCH NOTION WAS NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA. THE REASON WHY IT´S NOT A VALUE ITSELF IN MOST CASES IS BECAUSE COMPETITION TURNS US INTO EGOIST BEINGS, ONLY CONCERNED WITH GAINING MORE MONEY AND MORE POWER. THIS BECOMES A NON-ENDING CYCLE WHICH EATS UP THE SACRED VALUE OF SERVING THE OTHERS, SINCE IT´S SIMPLY THE OPPOSITE TO POWER.
THE SECOND WORLD WAR SHOWED US HOW GERMANY, WANTING TO CONQUER POLAND, FINLAND, ROMANIA AND THE BALTIC STATES, AND THE SOVIET UNION WANTING TO TAKE PART IN THAT MANEUVER, WERE COUNTRIES WHOSE ONLY AIM WAS CONTROLLING MUCH OF CONTINENTAL EUROPE, NO MATTER THE FATALITIES INVOLVED. HAD GERMANY AND THE SOVIET UNION HAD LEADERS WHOSE AIM IN LIFE WAS TO BE PEOPLE´S REPRESENTATIVES, TRYING TO DO THEIR BEST TO HELP THEIR PEOPLE AND THE OTHER COUNTRIES´ ONES AS WELL, NO WWII WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. AND AGAIN POWER REASONS ARE BEHIND WWII AND ALL THE REST OF THE WORLDWIDE CONFLICTS TOO.
BESIDES THE POWER OF MONEY AND THE POWER OF STATUS IS THE POWER OF FAITH. KNOWING ONESELF, LOOKING INWARDS, BREATHING DEEPLY IN AND SLOWLY OUT, VALUING THE DAILY SMALL THINGS, THANKING GOD FOR EACH OF THOSE LITTLE PRESENTS IN OUR LIFE AND FOR THE HEALTH WE ENJOY, THE FAMILY AND GOOD PEOPLE AROUND US, DOING AS MUCH GOOD AS WE CAN ON A DAILY BASIS, BEARING IN MIND WE´RE CREATURES OF GOD WHO CAN MAKE POSSIBLE THE IMPOSSIBLE IS THE NUMBER ONE POWER OF ALL.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POWER OF MONEY OR STATUS BUT LACK THE ONE OF FAITH USUALLY DO NOT HAVE SOLID FOUNDATIONS. THEIR VALUES ARE MONEY AND STATUS BASICALLY, AND SO IT´S ONLY NATURAL TO THEM TO GET JEALOUS OF THE ONES WHO ENJOY HAPPINESS IN WAYS THEY´VE NEVER IMAGINED IN THEIR WILDEST DREAMS. WE´RE TALKING ABOUT 2 TEAMS. WE´RE EITHER ON GOD´S SIDE OR ON THE COMPETITION. SURE THE EVIL INSIDE THOSE AGAINST GOD HAVE ENLIGHTMENT ZERO REGARDING WHAT IS RIGHT, WHO IS TO BLAME, WHO IS NOT, WHAT STEPS TO TAKE, IN WHICH DIRECTION, WHEN, ETC…, AND THAT EVIL ALSO MAKES THEM GO AGAINST ANYTHING OUR TEAM CHERISHES. FOR SURE EVIL IS BEHIND LONDON´S LAST TERROR ATTACKS, MARCH 23, KILLING 4 PEOPLE AND HURTING 40 OUTSIDE THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. LET´S IMAGINE SOMEONE – HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAMIST TERRORISM – PUSHED THE SINGLE ATTACKER – BY THE WAY, A TEACHER – WHO COMMITTED SUCH CRIMES TO DO THEM, AND LET´S IMAGINE THAT TEACHER DID NOT WANT TO DO IT. WHY DID THE ATTACKER USE A KNIFE INSTEAD OF A GUN? LET´S IMAGINE IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT HIS IDEA BUT SOMEONE ELSE´S, AND THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS BRIBED BY THE CMTGS TO DO IT, BUT AS HE KNEW HE COULD BE CAUGHT BY MANY VIDEO CAMERAS ON THE STREETS HE DIDN´T MANAGE TO PASS THE TEACHER ANY GUNS. LET´S ALSO IMAGINE THE ONLY REASON WHY HE DID IT WAS BECAUSE THAT SOMEONE THREATENED TO KILL HIS CHILD. AND WHY ALL THIS? LET´S IMAGINE, THE CMTGS ARE BEHIND IT. WHY? BECAUSE CMTGS ARE BEING SPIED AND THEY KNOW IT, AND SO THEY ARE REALLY DESPERATE. IT´S CLEAR IT IS ONE MORE OF THE MANY ATTEMPTS TO SPREAD TERROR AMONG PEOPLE AND CONSEQUENTLY SUBTLY MAKE PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR PLANS, WHICH IS THE CMTGS´ ULTIMATE GOAL. GB PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY ASKED TO HAVE ACCESS TO MESSAGES ON WHATSAPP AND OTHER ENCRYPTED SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES AFTER FINDING OUT THE TEACHER HAD RECEIVED ENCRYPTED MESSAGES BY WHATSAPP. LET´S IMAGINE WHATSAPP IS A BIG ESCAPE ROUTE FOR TERRORISTS AND OTHERS, AND THEY ARE USING IT. LET´S IMAGINE GREAT BRITAIN P.M. IS FULLY RIGHT IN REQUESTING SUCH ACCESS SINCE LIVES ARE AT STAKE AND PLUS, SINCE WE DON´T HAVE ANYTHING TO HIDE, WE DON´T MIND ANYONE HAVING ACCESS TO WHAT WE´RE SAYING. LET´S IMAGINE CMTGS CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF A FREE WHATSAPP, AND THOUGHT OF THIS POSSIBLE ESCAPE IN ORDER TO PURSUE THEIR MANEUVERS IN THE DARK.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF EVIL INSIDE THOSE AGAINST GOD IS LAST TUESDAY´S CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK IN SYRIA. IT KILLED 70 PEOPLE AND 100 WERE TREATED IN HOSPITALS IN IDLIB, WHERE THE SURVIVORS SAID A TOXIC GAS WAS DROPPED FROM WARPLANES…THERESA MAY IS RIGHT WHEN SHE CALLS FOR AN INVESTIGATION BY THE ORGANISATION FOR THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS. IT´S TERRIBLE TO HEAR THAT HOURS AFTER SUCH ATTACK, AS IF THEY DIDN´T HAVE HAD ENOUGH, THEY ALSO HIT A HOSPITAL TREATING THE INJURED. ” “ DOZENS OF CHILDREN SUFFOCATED TO DEATH WHILE THEY SLEPT,” SAID AHMAD TARAKJI, THE HEAD OF THE SYRIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL SOCIETY (SAMS), WHICH SUPPORTS HOSPITALS IN OPPOSITION-CONTROLLED AREAS IN SYRIA. SMITH SAID: “…THE VICTIMS DON´T HAVE ANY PHYSICAL TRAUMA INJURIES. THERE IS FOAMING AND PINPOINTED PUPILS…THIS APPEARS TO BE SOME KIND OF ORGANO-PHOSPHATE POISON. IN THEORY, A NERVE AGENT. WHAT´S STRIKING IS IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE MORE THAN CHLORINE. THE TOXICITY OF CHLORINE DOES NOT LEND ITSELF TO THE SORT OF INJURIES AND NUMBERS THAT WE´VE SEEN.” “(SYRIA CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK TOLL RISES TO 70 AS RUSSIAN NARRATIVE IS DISMISSED.THEGUARDIAN). LET´S IMAGINE CMTGS ARE BEHIND THAT CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK AND LET´S IMAGINE THAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO IT AGAIN SOMEWHERE ELSE.
ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WE HEARD ON THE NEWS SOME SPANISH POLITICIANS WANTED TO PUT AN END TO THE BROADCAST OF THE HOLY MASS ON TV ON SUNDAYS. AND RIGHT AWAY THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO OUR MIND WAS: WHO NEEDS SUCH POLITICIANS TO SAY SUCH THING? REALLY NONE OF US! FIRST OF ALL, THE HOLY MASS IS A TRADITION IN SPAIN, A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY FOR MORE THAN 20 CENTURIES AND EVERYONE SHOULD RESPECT THE ONES WHO REALLY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS OUR MODEL TO FOLLOW. JESUS CHRIST SHOWED US OUR AIM IN LIFE IS TO SERVE THE OTHERS. JESUS CHRIST STARTED THE FIRST EUCHARIST IN THE LAST SUPPER, AND ENTITLED EACH ONE OF US TO DO THE SAME AS HE DID. THIS CONCEPT IS SO SACRED THAT THE CHALICE IN EVERY EUCHARIST SYMBOLIZES UNLIMITED POWER IF ONE WHO IS PURE OF HEART BELIEVES IT SO. AND ALL THIS TAKES US ALL THE WAY TO THE HOLY GRAIL.
ATTEMPTS TRYING TO HIDE THE TRUE NATURE OF THINGS ARE RECURRENT THROUGHOUT HISTORY. FOR INSTANCE, THE REASON WHY THE CHURCH OF ROME RESISTED THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE GRAIL TRADITION WAS NOT SIMPLY BECAUSE “THEY REJECTED THE POETIC IDEAS OF CABALRY NOVELS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF A GRIAL FAMILY CARRYING THE MESSIANIC LINEAGE” (LA HERENCIA DEL SANTO GRIAL. SIR LAURENCE GARDNER).
“THE WORD “GRIAL” DERIVES FROM OLD FRENCH “GRADALE” (FROM LATIN “GRADALIS”) WHICH MEANS “ A BIG AND A BIT SWALLOW RECIPIENT WHERE DELICACIES ARE SERVED” (EN BUSCA DEL ARCA DE LA ALIANZA PERDIDA. SIMBOLO Y SEÑAL. GRAHAM HANCOCK).
“THE HOLY GRAIL IS A VESSEL THAT SERVES AS AN IMPORTANT MOTIF IN ARTHUR LITERATURE. DIFFERENT TRADITIONS DESCRIBE IT AS A CUP, DISH OR STONE WITH MIRACULOUS POWERS THAT PROVIDE HAPPINESS, ETERNAL YOUTH OR SUSTENANCE IN INFINITE ABUNDANCE” (WIKIPEDIA. THE HOLY GRAIL).
“THE HOLY GRAIL WAS A VESSEL USED BY CHRIST AT THE LAST SUPPER, GIVEN TO HIS GRANDUNCLE, ST. JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA (AD 63), IT WAS USED BY HIM TO COLLECT CHRIST´S BLOOD AND SWEAT WHILE JOSEPH TENDED HIM ON THE CROSS:
AFTER CHRIST´S DEATH, JOSEPH WAS APPARENTLY IMPRISONED IN A ROCK TOMB SIMILAR TO THE ONE HE HAD GIVEN FOR THE BODY OF HIS GRAND-NEPHEW. LEFT TO STARVE, HE WAS SUSTAINED FOR SEVERAL YEARS BY THE POWER OF THE GRAIL WHICH PROVIDED HIM WITH FRESH FOOD AND DRINK EVERY MORNING. LATER, ST. JOSEPH TRAVELLED TO BRITAIN WITH HIS FAMILY AND SEVERAL FOLLOWERS. HE SETTLED AT YNYS WITRIN (GLASTONBURY), BUT THE GRAIL WAS TAKEN TO CORBENIC WHERE IT WAS HOUSED IN A SPECTACULAR CASTLE, GUARDED ALWAYS BY THE GRAIL KINGS, DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH´S DAUGHTER, ANNA (ENYGEUS) AND HER HUSBAND, BRONS. CENTURIES LATER, THE LOCATION OF THE GREAT CASTLE OF CORBENIC BECAME FORGOTTEN. AT THE COURT OF KING ARTHUR, HOWEVER, IT WAS PROPHESIED THAT THE GRAIL WOULD ONE DAY BE REDISCOVERED BY A DESCENDANT OF ST. JOSEPH: THE BEST KNIGHT IN THE LAND, THE ONLY MAN CAPABLE OF SITTING IN THE MYSTERIOUS SIEGE PERILOUS. WHEN SUCH A MAN ARRIVED IN THE FORM OF GALAHAD, THE SON OF LANCELOT, ALONG WITH A MIRACULOUS, THOUGH BRIEF, VISION OF THE GRAIL ITSELF, A QUEST TO FIND THIS HOLIEST OF RELICS BEGAN. THROUGH MANY ADVENTURES AND MANY YEARS, THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE CROSSED BRITAIN FROM ONE END TO ANOTHER IN THEIR SEARCH. PERCEBAL DISCOVERED THE CASTLE IN A LAND THAT WAS SICKLY LIKE ITS SPEAR-WOUNDED KING. WHEN ENTERTAINED BY THIS “FISHER” OR “GRAIL KING”, HOWEVER, HE FAILED TO ASK OF THE GRAIL AND LEFT EMPTY-HAND. LANCELOT NEXT REACHED CORBENIC, BUT WAS PREVENTED FROM ENTERING BECAUSE HE WAS AN ADULTERER. FINALLY GALAHAD ARRIVED AND WAS PERMITTED ENTRY TO THE GRAIL CHAPEL AND ALLOWED TO GAZE UPON THE GREAT CUP. HIS LIFE BECAME COMPLETE AND TOGETHER GRAIL AND MAN WERE LIFTED UP TO HEAVEN” (KING ARTHUR IN LEGEND: THE HOLY GRAIL – BRITANNIA.COM).
“GERALD OF WALES (DIED 1223) CLAIMS HE WITNESSED THE EXHUMATION OF KING ARTHUR FROM A GRAVE DISCOVERED AT GLASTONBURY ABBEY IN AROUND 1190 OR 1191. HE STATES “ AND THERE WAS A LEAD CROSS FIXED UNDER … A STONE SLAB. I HAVE SEEN THIS CROSS, AND HAVE TRACED THE LETTERS SCULPTED INTO IT… AND THEY SAID: “ HERE LIES BURIED THE FAMOUS KING ARTHUR WITH GUENEVERE, HIS SECOND WIFE IN THE ISLAND OF AVALON”. SEVERAL NOTABLE THINGS ARISE FROM THIS INSCRIPTION: THAT ARTHUR HAD 2 WIVES, OF WHOM THE SECOND WAS BURIED WITH HIM, AND INDEED HER BONES WERE FOUND WITH THE BONES OF HER HUSBAND…THE PLACE WHICH IS NOW CALLED GLASTONBURY WAS IN THE OLD TIME CALLED AVALON. AND IT IS LIKE AN ISLAND, COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY MARCHES, WHENCE IT IS CALLED IN THE BRITISH TONGUE INIS AVALLON, THAT IS, THE ISLAND OF APPLES… IT WAS HERE, TO THIS ISLAND WHICH IS NOW CALLED GLASTONBURY, THAT MORGAN, A NOBLE MATRON AND THE RULER AND PATRON OF THOSE PARTS, AND ALSO CLOSE IN BLOOD TO KING ARTHUR, TOOK ARTHUR AFTER THE BATTLE OF CAMLANN FOR THE HEALING OF HIS WOUNDS” (THE ORIGINS OF KING ARTHUR – ROMAN OR WELSH?).
“AFTER HAVING DONE MUCH RESEARCH GRAHAM HANCOCK COMES TO THE CONCLUSION THE SYMBOL OF THE “SACRED BLOOD” RELATED TO THE GRIAL IN THE POPULAR CULTURE WAS AN ADDED GLOSA BY AUTHORS WHO CAME AFTER HIM. THIS CHRISTIANIZATION PROCESS HAD BEEN LAUNCHED BY THE CISTERCIAN ORDER, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE CISTERCIANS HAD BEEN DEEPLY INFLUENCED BY A MAN, ST. BERNARD OF CLARAVAL, WHO HAD JOINED THE ORDER IN 1112, AND WAS CONSIDERED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE OF HIS TIME BY MANY SCHOLARS. THE HOLY GRIAL OF PARZIBAL BY WOLFRAM VON ESCHENBACH (GERMANY), ONE OF THE FIRST MEDIEVAL POETS RESEARCHING THE GRIAL, IS DESCRIBED OF PARZIBAL WAS PROBABLY DELIBERATLY BUILT BY THE GERMAN POET WOLFRAM VON ESCHENBACH IN ORDER TO SHOW MANKIND A SORT OF CRYPTOGRAM OF THE ARK IN ORDER TO FIND IT”. LET´S IMAGINE THE STONE SYMBOLIZES GOD´S LAWS, THAT IS, THE 10 COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN BY GOD ON THE 2 STONE TABLETS. ACCORDING TO WOLFRAM “THE GRIAL, SINCE IT COULD ONLY BE CARRIED BY PEOPLE OF PURE HEART, WAS SO HEAVY THAT SINNERS COULD NOT LIFT IT FROM WHERE IT WAS AT”. WOLFRAM MENTIONS THIS IN HIS CRYPTIC PROSE: “THERE WAS A PAGAN PHYSICIAN CALLED FLEGETANIS (CHAPTER 9 OF PARZIBAL) WHO WROTE ABOUT THE GRIAL´S WONDERS FLEGETANIS SAID THAT WE´RE ALL AFFECTED BY THE PLANETS REVOLUTIONS. HE SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING CALLED GRIAL WHOSE NAME COULD BE READ IN THE STARS: “ A TROOP OF ANGELS LEFT THE GRIAL ON EARTH AND AFTER THAT THEY ROSE UP TO WHERE THE STARS ARE, AS IF THEIR INNOCENCE MADE THEM LEAVE”. WOLFRAM DESCRIBES THE GRIAL AS A SOURCE OF BLESSINGS AND FERTILITY FOR PEOPLE OF PURE HEART WHO CONTACTED WITH IT. ONE EXAMPLE AMONG MANY IS IN CHAPTER 5 OF PARZIBAL: “EVERY TIME SOMEONE STRECHED HIS HAND TO GET SOMETHING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GRIAL, THERE IT WAS, YOU GOT IT, ALL READY TO GO, HOT DISHES, COLD DISHES, JUST INVENTED DISHES , AND THE FAVOURITE ONES AMONG THE OLDIES…, BECAUSE THE GRIAL WAS A FRUIT OF BLESSINGS, A HORN OF PLENTY OF THE DELIGHTS OF THIS WORLD” (EN BUSCA DEL ARCA DE LA ALIANZA PERDIDA. SIMBOLO Y SEÑAL. GRAHAM HANCOCK).
THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND COMMENTS BACK UP THE EXISTENCE OF THE GRIAL:
1. THERE ARE REASONS WHY THE GRIAL WAS HIDDEN. CORRUPT ONES DIDN´T WANT PEOPLE OF PURE HEART TO BENEFIT FROM THE GRIAL SINCE THAT WAY THEY, AND ONLY THEY, WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT. CORRUPT ONES COULDN´T STAND BEING LEFT OUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN´T HANDLE SEEING OTHERS BEING HAPPY AND ENJOYING LIFE. THEY ALSO REALIZED THAT LETTING PEOPLE ACCESS THE GRIAL WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN PURE PEOPLE GETTING WHAT THEY DESERVED, AND THEY COULDN´T DIGEST SUCH REALITY.
“THE GRIAL GAVE OFF SUCH A BRIGHTNESS THAT CANDLES LOST THEIR GLOW, LIKE IT HAPPENS TO STARS WHEN THE SUN OR THE MOON COMES UP. THE GRIAL ACCORDING TO CHRETIEN WAS MADE OF PURE GOLD, BUT IT WASN´T THIS MATERIAL WHICH MADE THE GRIAL GENERATE SUCH LIGHT. THAT GIFT HAD TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE GRIAL WAS BATHED IN A BURNING HEAVENLY ENERGY. THAT´S WHY WOLFRAM IN PARZIVAL MENTIONS THE “STONE-GRIAL” AND SAYS THAT IT WAS CARRIED THROUGH THE STREETS IN PROCESSION BY REPANSE DE SCHOYE´S HANDS, WHOSE FACE SHONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT EVERYONE IMAGINED IT WAS DUE TO A REALLY BRIGHT DAWN. THAT WOMAN WAS A VIRGIN PRINCESS. THERE WAS AN AURA OF SAINTLINESS AND POWER SURROUNDING HER. SHE DID NOT CHOOSE TO CARRY THE GRIAL, RATHER THE GRIAL CHOSE HER, LIKE WOLFRAM SAYS IN THIS QUOTE:
“ONLY HER, NOT BY ANYBODY ELSE DID THE GRIAL ALLOW TO BE CARRIED BY”.
THE KEY WORDS MEANT THE RELIC WAS SOMEHOW CONSCIOUS OF WHO COULD CARRY THE GRIAL AND WHO COULDN´T.
2. WOLFRAM MENTIONS ANOTHER KEY CHARACTERISTIC OF THE GRIAL IN THIS QUOTE FROM CHAPTER 9 OF PARZIVAL:
“NO MAN CAN GET THE GRIAL BUT THE ONE RECOGNIZED IN HEAVEN AS DESTINED FOR IT”.
THIS SAME MESSAGE WAS DECISIVELY REITERATED IN CHAPTER 15:
“NO MAN WAS EVER ABLE TO GET THE GRIAL BY FORCE, APART FROM THE ONE WHO IS CALLED FOR IT BY GOD”.
3. THE SCULPTURES OF CHARTRES PLACED THE HOLY GRAIL ON PRIEST AND KING MELQUISEDEC´S LEFT HAND. BY THE WAY THIS WAS THE ONLY EFFIGY OF MELQUISEDEC IN THE WHOLE MEDIEVAL EUROPE.
4. ACCORDING TO EMMA JUNG, PSICOANALIST, SPEAKER , EMINENT PSICHIATRIST AND CARL GUSTAV JUNG´S WIFE, THE WAY THE LITERARY GENRE OF THE HOLY GRIAL APPEARED AT THE END OF THE 12TH CENTURY WAS AS SUDDEN AS SURPRISING. IN AN ERUDITE STUDY ON THE GRIAL LEGEND, BY THE JUNG FOUNDATION, SHE SAID THERE HAD TO BE SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT BEHIND THIS SUDDEN AND AMAZING APPARITION. IN FACT SHE CAME TO SUGGEST IN CONTE DU GRAAL BY CHRÉTIEN DE TROYES, AND IN PARZIVAL BY WOLFRAM, THE FIRST TWO EXAMPLES OF THIS GENRE, WE COULD SEE THE FIRST TRACES OF THE HOLY GRAIL. IT WAS IN 1182 WHEN CHRÉTIEN PUBLISHED HIS VERSION OF THE GRIAL, AND RIGHT AFTER THE DECLINE OF JERUSALEM WHEN WOLFRAM VON ESCHENBACH STARTED TO WORK IN PARZIVAL. IN PARZIVAL SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF KYOT IS MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES. WOLFRAM ADDRESSED HIM AS MASTER. ACCORDING TO LITERATURE EXPERTS KYOT WAS A 12TH CENTURY FRENCH POET, GUYOT DE PROVINS, WHO HAD GONE ON A PILGRIMAGE TO JERUSALEM SOMETIME BEFORE THE HOLY LAND ONCE AGAIN FELL INTO THE SARACENS´ HANDS. HE HAD ALSO BEEN A PART OF THE COURT OF HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR FREDERICK BARBAROSSA (1122-1190). FREDERICK WAS GERMAN, AND BEFORE BECOMING EMPEROR IN 1152 HE HAD BEEN DUKE OF SUAVIA. HE WAS NAMED EXPLICITLY EMPEROR BY THE CHRISTIAN KINGS. GUYOT/KYOT HAD BEEN INTIMATELY RELATED TO THE KNIGHTS OF TEMPLAR, WHO WERE THE GUARDIANS OF THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON, FROM WHERE THE ARK HAD DISAPPEARED IN TIMES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. IN PARZIVAL WOLFRAM REFERED TO THE KNIGHTS OF TEMPLAR FLATTERINGLY THIS WAY: “A NOBLE BROTHERHOOD…, WHO BY MEANS OF ARMS REJECTED MEN FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, TURNING OUT THE GRIAL WAS ONLY REVEALED TO THOSE WHO HAD BEEN CALLED TO MUNSALVAESCHE TO BECOME PART OF THE COMPANY OF THE GRIAL” (EN BUSCA DEL ARCA DE LA ALIANZA PERDIDA. SIMBOLO Y SEÑAL. GRAHAM HANCOCK).
“SINCE THE GOSPELS WERE WRITTEN WITH HIDDEN INTENTIONS TO AVOID ROMAN AUTHORITY CENSORSHIP, THEY´VE GOT MANY SYMBOLIC ELEMENTS WHICH EVEN NOWADAYS MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE TO UNDERSTAND THEM. ALL THESE OPAQUE REFERENCES, BASED ON THE ALLEGORIC LANGUAGE OF THE FIRST RITES OF THE SECT, LED TO THE TOTAL DEFORMATION OF CERTAIN FACTS. THE CONFUSION MADE SOME OF THESE EPISODES TO BE ACCEPTED AS SUPERNATURAL AND THAT CONDITION TURNED INTO A DOGMA” (LA HERENCIA DEL SANTO GRIAL. SIR LAURENCE GARDNER). IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND MUCH BETTER ALL ABOUT THE HOLY GRAIL LET´S HAVE A LOOK AT THE VERY START OF IT.
“AFTER THE JEWS REBELLION IN JERUSALEM (1ST CENTURY AC), THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL THE JEWS´ FAMILY´S FILES RELATED TO KING DAVID´S LEGACY WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE. AS THE ECLESIASTIC HISTORY BY EUSEBIO, BISHOP OF CAESAREA (PALESTINE) DURING THE 4TH CENTURY, THESE HEIRS WERE CALLED THE “DESPOSYNI” (“MASTERS” IN OLD GREEK). ONLY THE DESCENDANTS OF JESUS´S FAMILY WERE ENTITLED TO THAT TITLE. IT CORRESPONDED TO THEM TO KEEP THE SACRED LEGACY OF THE REAL HOUSE OF JUDA, A DYNASTIC LINEAGE WHICH STILL SURVIVES TODAY. MANY APPARENTLY DISCONNECTED HISTORICAL EPISODES HAVE BEEN INTENDED TO END UP WITH SUCH LINEAGE; HISTORICAL EPISODES SUCH AS THE WARS OF THE JEWS(1ST CENTURY AC), THE AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE WAR (18TH CENTURY), AND MANY CURRENT EVENTS HAVE ALL HELPED EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE ANGLICAN CHURCH, TO PERPETUATE THEIR MACHINATIONS. WHILE TRYING TO HIDE THE PRIMOGENITURE REAL RIGHTS OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, THE HIGH CHRISTIAN HIERARCHIES SET UP PUPPET REGIMES IN MANY COUNTRIES, AMONG WHICH THE HOUSE OF HANOVER (SAJONIA-COBURGO-GOTHA) IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. AND THEIR GOVERNMENTS WERE FORCED TO BACK UP CERTAIN RELIGIOUS DOCTRINES, WHILE OTHERS WERE DEPOSED DUE TO THEIR RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE”.
“THE APPARITION OF THE TERM “HOLY GRAIL” TOOK PLACE IN THE MIDDLE AGES. IT STARTS AS A LITERARY CONCEPT BASED ON A SERIES OF WRITTEN DISTORTIONS. IT DERIVES DIRECTLY FROM A TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY GRAIL, AND THIS ONE ITSELF COMES FROM THE PRIMITIVE FORMS SAN GRAAL AND SANGRÉAL. THE OLD ORDER OF SANGRÉAL WAS AN ORDER OF THE REAL SCOTTISH STUART HOUSE, WHICH WAS LINKED TO THE EUROPEAN ORDER OF THE SION REIGN. THE KNIGHTS OF BOTH ORDERS WERE FOLLOWERS OF THE SANGRÉAL, WHICH AS WE HAVE JUST SAID BEFORE, DEFINES THE TRUE NATURE OF THE REAL BLOOD OF JUDAH: THE LINEAGE OF THE HOLY GRAIL. BESIDES THE DYNASTIC CHARACTER OF THE HOLY GRAIL HAS GOT AN SPIRITUAL DIMENSION. MANY SYMBOLS REPRESENTED IT BUT THE MOST COMMON ONE WAS A CHALICE WHICH HAS, OR ONCE HAD, JESUS CHRIST´S BLOOD. THE HOLY GRAIL WAS ALSO ASSOCIATED TO A VINE, WHICH GROWS AND GROWS SINCE THE ANNALS OF HISTORY. A VINE´S FRUIT IS GRAPES, AND FROM GRAPES WE GET WINE. WINE IS THE LINK BETWEEN THE SYMBOLIC ELEMENTS OF THE CHALICE AND THE VINE. WE´VE ALWAYS RELATED IT TO JESUS´S BLOOD. CONSEQUENTLY, THIS TRADITION LAYS ON THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST (THE HOLY COMMUNION), AND THE PERPETUAL BLOOD CONTAINED IN SUCH CHALICE REPRESENTS, NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING AND LESS, THE MESIANIC GENEALOGY. IN THE ESOTERIC TRADITION THE HOLY GRAIL, THE CHALICE AND THE GRAPE TREE HAVE THE MEANING OF SERVICE, WHEREAS THE BLOOD AND THE WINE ARE RELATED TO THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OF REALIZATION. THE SPIRITUAL SEARCH OF THE HOLY GRAIL IS THEREFORE, A DESIRE OF REALIZATION THROUGH AN OFFERING OR SERVICE. THE SO-CALLED HOLY GRAIL CODE IS ITSELF A PARABLE OF THE HUMAN CONDITON, IN WHICH BY MEANS OF THE SEARCH OF A SERVICE, AND THROUGH IT, ONE REACHES THE REALIZATION. THE PROBLEM IS THAT A GREEDY SOCIETY, BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT ONLY THE STRONGEST ONES SURVIVE, HAS BURIED THE PRECEPTS OF SUCH CODE. TODAY IT´S CLEAR RICHESS, MORE THAN PURITY, IS A NECESSARY STEP TO BE ACCEPTED IN SOCIETY. THE OBEDIENCE TO LAW IS A DIFFERENT CRITERIA THOUGH.”
“THE IDYLLIC DEMOCRACY WAS DEFINED AS THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. HOWEVER REALITY PROVES IT WRONG SINCE IN MOST CASES THEY GOVERN THE PEOPLE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE, WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT A DEMOCRACY SHOULD BE, AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IDEA OF SERVICE. THEREFORE, IT TOTALLY OPPOSES THE HOLY GRAIL CODE. THE ONES IN POWER USUALLY MANAGE TO TWIST THE IDYLLIC SOLIDARITY RAISING OVER THEIR PEOPLE. POWER CONTROLS INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, FREEDOMS AND PROSPERITY. POWER DETERMINES WHO IS POLITICALLY CORRECT AND WHO´S NOT. IN SOME CASES IT DOES EVEN DECIDES WHO MUST SURVIVE AND WHO MUST NOT. MANY OF THOSE ARE AFTER INFLUENTIAL POSITIONS IN ORDER TO HAVE MORE POWER OVER THE REST. SERVING THEIR OWN INTEREST THEY BECOME SOCIETY MANIPULATORS, IGNORING MOST PEOPLE´S RIGHTS. THE RESULT IS THAT INSTEAD OF SERVING THE PEOPLE THEY SET UP A SERVANT SYSTEM.”
“THE SEARCH OF THE HOLY GRAIL IS GUIDED BY A DESIRE OF SINCERE PERSONAL REALIZATION. IT´S THE CLUE TO HARMONY AND TO UNITY EVERYWHERE WE LOOK AT. THE HOLY GRAIL CODE RECOGNIZES PROGRESS THROUGH ACHIEVEMENT AND IT´S TOTALLY DEMOCRATIC. BOTH, IN ITS PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DIMENSION, THE HOLY GRAIL CONCERNS EQUALLY BOTH LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS. WHO SERVES THE HOLY GRAIL? IT SERVES THOSE WHO SEARCH BEYOND THIS PHYSICAL WORLD DESPITE THE TOUGH MOMENTS, SINCE THEY ARE THE TRUTH LEADERS. ”
“JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, JESUS CHRIST´S UNCLE, AND HIS 12 DISCIPLES GOT TO BRITANIA AND KING ARVIRAGO MADE THEM FEEL AT HOME AND GRANTED THEM WITH SOME LAND WHERE THEY BUILT A CHAPEL. AFTER A DISASTROUS FIRE IN 1184, HENRY II OF ENGLAND GRANTED THE COMMUNITY WITH THE PRIVILEGE OF RESTAURATION SINCE GLASTONBURY WAS A PLACE WHERE SAINTS RESTED AND A PLACE FOUNDED BY JESUS CHRIST´S DISCIPLES. AT THE SAME TIME A STONY CHAPEL WAS BUILT AND LATER ON THIS ONE WOULD TURN INTO A BIG BENEDICTINE ABBEY, ONLY EXCEEDED BY SIZE AND IMPORTANCE BY WESTMINSTER ABBEY. PRESTIGIOUS FIGURES RELATED TO GLASTONBURY ARE ST. PATRICK (THE FIRST BISHOP DURING THE 5TH CENTURY), AND ST. DUNSTAN (BISHOP FROM 940 TO 946).”
“THE GREATEST THREAT FOR THE CHURCH DURING THE LAST YEARS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE CAME FROM THE DEPOSYNI (DIRECT DESCENDANTS OF JESUS CHRIST´S FAMILY, THE LORDS´ HEIRS) SET UP IN GALIA, KNOWN AS THE DYNASTY OF THE MEROVINGIANS, A MALE LINEAGE DESCENDANT OF FISHERMAN KINGS. NOT ONLY WERE THE MEROVINGIANS RELATED TO THE OLD NAZARENS BUT ALSO KEPT THE TRADITIONS FROM BIBLICAL TIMES. MEROVEO WAS THE FOUNDER OF THE MEROVINGIA DYNASTY. WHEN HE DIED HIS SON, CHILDERICO, TOOK OVER. WHEN CHILDERICO DIED IN 481 CLODOVEO SUCCEEDED HIM. CLODOVEO WAS THE MOST PROMINENT OUT OF ALL MEROVINGIAN KINGS AND WAS THE FOUNDER OF THE FRANC DYNASTY. CATHOLICISM RUN THE RISK OF BEING SWEPT AWAY FROM WESTERN EUROPE, WHERE BEST BISHOPS WERE ARRIANS. CLODOVEO WAS NEITHER ARRIAN NOR CATHOLIC, BUT ROME JERARCHY WANTED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS MARRIAGE TO THE CATHOLIC BURGUNDIA PRINCESS CLOTILDE. CLOTILDE TRIED TO MAKE HIS HUSBAND CLODOVEO CONVERT TO CATHOLICISM BUT IT WASN´T UNTIL 496 WHEN SHE SUCCEEDED IN IT. THAT YEAR CLODOVEO AND HIS ARMY WERE AT WAR AGAINST THE ALAMAN TRIBES WHO TRIED TO INVADE COLOGNE. SURPRISINGLY, ONCE IN THEIR WHOLE MILITARY CAREER THE MEROVINGIANS WERE LOSING THE BATTLE. IN A MOMENT OF DESPERATION CLODOVEO INVOKED THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AND RIGHT AWAY THE ALAMAN KING FELL DEAD. ONCE THE ALAMANS SAW THEIR CAPTAIN DEAD THEY RETIRED. AT THAT MOMENT CLOTILDE MADE IT CLEAR IT WAS JESUS CHRIST WHO HAD HELPED THEM WITH THE MEROVINGIAN VICTORY. ALTHOUGH CLODOVEO WASN´T THAT CONVINCED, CLOTILDE WENT IN SEARCH FOR ST. REMIGIO (REIMS BISHOP) WHO BAPTIZED CLODOVEO. DUE TO THEIR CAPTAIN´S LOYALTY ALMOST HALF THE MEROVINGIAN WARRIORS FOLLOWED CLODOVEO AND WERE BAPTIZED. CONVERSION TO CATHOLICISM HAPPENED IN GREAT NUMBERS AND THE CHURCH COULD SAVE ITSELF FROM EXTINCTION. FROM THAT MOMENT ON THE ROMAN AUTHORITIES HAD TO PROMISE LOYALTY TO CLODOVEO AND TO HIS DESCENDANTS. THEY PROMISED HIM A NEW SACRED EMPIRE DIRECTED BY THE MEROVINGIANS WOULD RISE AGAIN. CLODOVEO DIDN´T HAVE ANY REASONS TO DOUBT ROME´S ALLIANCE BUT UNINTENTIONALLY CLODOVEO BECAME AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE BISHOPS IN ORDER TO CONSPIRE AGAINST THE MESIANIC DESCENDANCY. THE CHURCH THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET THE ARRIANS FROM BORGOGNE AND AQUITANIA CONVERTED TO CATHOLICISM, AND SO THEY PUSHED CLODOVEO TO THEIR INVASION. HOWEVER, ROME HAD A DIFFERENT PLAN WHICH WAS TO TAKE THE MEROVINGIANS AWAY WHENEVER THEY WEREN´T USEFUL ANYMORE AND PUT IN THEIR PLACE THE ROME BISHOP INSTEAD AS THE SUPREME CHIEF OF GALIA. IN 511 AFTER MANY MILITARY SUCCESSES CLODOVEO DIED IN PARIS. HIS REIGN WAS DIVIDED AMONG HIS 4 SONS: TEODORICO, CLODOMIRO, CHILDEBERTO AND LOTARIO. THE LAST ONE TO DIE WAS LOTARIO IN 561. LOTARIO WAS SUCCEEDED BY HIS SONS: SIGEBERTO AND CHILPERICO. FOUR GENERATIONS AFTER IT, FROM CHILPERICO´S DYNASTY, DAGOBERTO II WAS BORN. HE BECAME KING OF AUSTRASIA IN 674. BACK THEN, A COUNCIL OF IMPORTANT BISHOPS HAD REDUCED THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND IMPOSITIVE POWER OF THE REAL HOUSE. THE DESMANTLEMENT OF THE MEROVINGIAN REIGN BY ROME HAD ALREADY STARTED.”
“IN 1184, AFTER HENRY II DIED HIS SON RICHARD I DECIDED TO CUT THE SUBSIDY HIS FATHER GRANTED GLASTONBURY ABBEY WITH FOR THEIR RECONSTRUCTION. AFTER THIS THE GLASTONBURY MONKS BEING BROKE, THOUGHT OF DIGGING SOME HOLES”, PROBABLY IN ORDER TO FIND SOMETHING THAT COULD BE WORTH A LOT, BUT “WHAT THEY FOUND WAS THE MORTAL RESTS OF KING ARTHUR AND QUEEN GINEBRA. THEY ALSO FOUND A CROSS EMBEDDED IN A ROCK WITH AN INSCRIPTION WHICH SAID: “HERE LIES KING ARTHUR IN THE ISLE OF AVALLON WITH HIS WIFE GINEBRA”. NOT ONLY DID THEY FIND KING ARTHUR´S TOMB BUT THEY ALSO HAD GATHERED EVIDENCE TO STATE GLASTONBURY WAS THE ISLE OF AVALLON. FROM THAT MOMENT ON THE ECONOMICAL SITUATION OF GLASTONBURY MONKS GOT BETTER SINCE THOUSANDS OF PILGRIMS WENT TO GLASTONBURY. THE RESTS OF BOTH BODIES WERE BURIED IN 2 POLICROMATED COFFRES IN A BLACK MARBLE TOMB BEHIND THE ALTAR. PILGRIMS PROVIDED THE MONKS WITH LOTS OF DONATIONS AND SO THEY GOT TO RESTORE WHAT WAS IN NEED. WHEN HENRY VIII EDICTED THE DISSOLUTION OF THE MONASTIC ORDERS, GLASTONBURY ABBEY HOUSED MANY RELICS, WHICH DISAPPEARED TOGETHER WITH THE MONASTERY, LEAVING NO TRACE BEHIND OF ANY OF THEM, AND NOBODY HAD ACCESS TO KING ARTHUR´S AND GINEBRA´S RESTS SINCE THEN. ONLY AN INSCRIPTION REMINDS US ALL OF THE LOCATION OF SUCH TOMB.”
“… A MANUSCRIPT WRITTEN CENTURIES EARLIER THAN THE 12TH CENTURY SUGGESTS KING ARTHUR REALLY EXISTED. IN THE HISTORIA BRITTONUM FROM THE 9TH CENTURY THE WELSH MONK NENNIO, IN 830, DESCRIBES ARTHUR, SIMPLY, AS A WARRIOR WHO AFTER THE ROMANS WITHDREW IN THE 5TH CENTURY, WON THE ANGLOSAXON INVASORS IN THE BATTLE OF BADON. ACCORDING TO THE 8TH CENTURY HISTORIAN BEDA, IN HIS WORK ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE, THE BATTLE OF BADON TOOK PLACE IN 493. SUCH HISTORIC EVENT WAS ALSO REGISTERED BY THE BRITISH MONK GILDAS IN HIS WORK ON THE RUIN AND CONQUEST OF BRITAIN (545). ALTHOUGH GILDAS OMITS THE NAME OF THE BRITISH LEADER, A CLOSE REFERENCE IN THE WELSH ANNALS (950), 200 YEARS BEFORE THE 1ST ROMANCE, POINTS OUT ARTHUR AS THE LEADER IN BADON. ALTHOUGH THE WELSH ANNALS WERE WRITTEN A CENTURY LATER THAN THE WRITING BY NENNIO, AND THEY SEEM TO GIVE THE WRONG DATE (519) IN RELATION TO BADON, NO OTHER NAME EXCEPT ARTHUR IS KNOWN AND ASSOCIATED TO THE BRITISH VICTORY IN SUCH BATTLE. CONSEQUENTLY, AMIDST THE DISCONNECTED EVIDENCE WHICH HAS SURVIVED THE BEST CANDIDATE TO BE THE BRITISH LEADER IN BADON BATTLE IS OWAIN DDANTGWYN, AND HIS POWER HEADQUARTERS, VIROCONIUM:
AND FROM A MILITAR PERSPECTIVE, AND IF NO MORE EVIDENCE IS GATHERED, OWAIN DANTGWYN IS THE BEST ARTHUR DISCOVERED UP TO NOW. THEREFORE, ALREADY SEVERAL HISTORIANS ACCEPT ARTHUR COULD HAVE VERY WELL BEEN THE BRITISH LEADER OF THE LAST AND DEFINITE MILITAR RESISTANCE AGAINST THE ANGLOSAXONS AT THE END OF THE 5TH CENTURY. THE ANGLOSAXONS FROM GERMANY AND SCANDINAVIA CONQUERED ALL ENGLAND, AND THE BRITONS – THE CELTS FROM THE PLACE – WERE FORCED TO RETIRE TO WALES. AS ARTHUR SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A BRITON LEADER LEGENDS TALK ABOUT HIS DEEDS BEING KEPT MAINLY IN WALES, BEFORE BEING A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION, FROM THE 12TH CENTURY ONWARDS TO THE MEDIEVAL ROMANCES. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ORIGIN OF SOME OF THE TOPICS IN THE ARTHUR MEDIEVAL ROMANCES COULD BE FOUND IN THE PRIMITIVE WELSH OR CELTIC TRADITIONS:
”
“ONCE JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA GATHERED JESUS´S BLOOD LEFT PALESTINE AND NICODEMUS, A FRIEND OF HIS ( A CONVERSE ROMAN OFFICER) WENT WITH HIM. NICODEMUS TOOK WITH HIM A BUST OF JESUS CHRIST ( AS HE SAW HIM CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS), WHICH HE HIMSELF MADE AND LEFT IN LUCCA. JOSEPH AND HIS COMPANIONS WENT ON A TRIP TO THE LAND (WHITE COUNTRY) WHICH THE LORD HAD PROMISED JOSEPH. WE LEARNT LATER ON THAT COUNTRY CORRESPONDS TO SOMEWHERE IN GREAT BRITAIN. WHEN JOSEPH DIED HE LEFT INSTRUCTIONS SO THAT THE ORIGINAL GRAIL – THE ONE USED TO COLLECT JESUS´S BLOOD – REMAINS IN HIS DIRECT DESCENDANTS´ HANDS. AFTER THE 3RD DAY JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED, JEWS DISCOVERED JESUS´S BODY HAD DISAPPEARED AND ACCUSED JOSEPH OF HAVING TAKING IT AND SO THEY IMPRISONED HIM, AFTER CONFISCATING THE SACRED CHALICE. JESUS CHRIST APPEARED IN JAIL WRAPPED UP IN A BRIGHT BEAM OF LIGHT AND RETURNED THE GRAIL TO JOSEPH TELLING HIM HE HAD AWARDED HIM THE CUSTODY OF THE HOLY RELIC. BESIDES THAT, JESUS CHRIST GAVE INSTRUCTIONS TO JOSEPH ABOUT HOW TO CELEBRATE MASS AND TELLS HI THAT THE CUP MUST BE CALLED “CHALICE”. HOWEVER, STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, ROBERT DE BORON IN HIS WORK JOSEPH D´ARIMATHIE ( THE MOST POPULAR MEDIEVAL ROMANCE ) REFERS TO IT AS THE GRAIL. FINALLY, AFTER JERUSALEN WAS SACKED BY THE ROMANS IN THE YEAR 70 AC, JOSEPH WAS RESCUED AND FLED TO BRITANIA WITH HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW BRON. BRON HAD A SON, ALEIN, WHOSE SON WAS PERCEVAL. EACH ONE OF THOSE MEN WAS KNOWN AS THE RICH FISHERMAN, A SECRET TITLE FOR THE ONE WHO HAD THE GRAIL. ROBERT DESCRIBED THE GRAIL PHYSICALLY AND MENTIONED THE WORD GRAIL COMES FROM THE OLD FRENCH WORD “AGREE”, WHICH MEANS “DELIGHT, QUENCH”, INDICATING THE CUP PROVIDES US WITH SPIRITUAL RELIEF. THEREFORE, IF PERCEVAL WAS BRON´S GRANDCHILD AND CONTEMPORARY OF JOSEPH IN THE 1ST CENTURY PALESTINE, HOW COME WAS HE STILL ALIVE IN THE 5TH CENTURY, ARTHUR TIME, THE TIME WHEN ROBERT LOCATED PERCEVAL? THE GRAIL IN PARZIVAL BY WOLFRAM IS NOT A DISH, NOR A CHALICE, NOR A BUST, BUT A MAGIC STONE CALLED THE LAPSIT EXCILLIS (LATIN. LAPIS EXILIS) WHICH MEANS SMALL STONE.”
-“SUMMING UP THE FOLLOWING 8 STORIES (ORIGINAL ROMANCES) WRITTEN ABOUT THE GRAIL (1190-1220) BACK UP ITS EXISTENCE:
1. LE CONTE DEL GRAAL BY CHRÉTIEN DE TROYES (C. 1190).
2. 2 ANONYMOUS CONTINUATIONS ABOUT THE STORY OF CHRÉTIEN (C.1195): IN THE 1ST CONTINUATION THE ANONYMOUS AUTHOR TELLS US THE HOLY GRAIL FLIES AROUND THE ROOMS SERVING FOOD. IN THE SAME STORY, ANOTHER OBJECT DESCRIBED AS THE HOLY GRAIL APPEARS; IT´S A STONE BUST OF JESUS CHRIST.
3. JOSEPH D´ARIMATHIE DE ROBERT DE BORON. IN HIS WORK ROBERT DE BORON GIVES A PRECISE DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGIN AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE GRAIL, AND STATES IT WAS THE CUP WHERE JESUS CHRIST DRANK DURING THE LAST SUPPER, THE ONE JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA GOT FROM PILATES AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION.”
4. DIDCOT PERCEVAL (C. 1200). ACCORDING TO THE ANONYMOUS AUTHOR THE ORIGINAL STORY WAS WRITTEN BY A MONK CALLED BLAYSE. HERE AGAIN THE HOLY GRAIL IS THE CUP OF THE LAST SUPPER WHICH WAS TAKEN TO GREAT BRITAIN, TO THE WHITE CASTLE IN THE WHITE COUNTRY, WHERE IT WAS WATCHED OVER BY JOSEPH ´S DESCENDANTS:
IN THIS ROMANCE THE HOLY GRAIL ISN´T DESCRIBED. WE´RE ONLY TOLD VISIONS INSIDE IT TOOK PLACE. DIDCOT PERCEVAL DESCRIBED KING ARTHUR AS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. ACCORDING TO THIS STORY, THE ROUND TABLE REPRESENTS THE TABLE OF THE LAST SUPPER, AND KING ARTHUR, AS THE LEGITIMATE HEAD OF THE CHURCH, WAS SITTED ON JESUS CHRIST´S PLACE, AS JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA ONCE DID BEFORE HIM. THIS WRITING STATES AS WELL JESUS CHRIST NAMED JOSEPH GUARDIAN OF THE GRAIL, MEANING KING ARTHUR IS ALSO PLAYING THAT ROLE. IN DIDCOT PERCEVAL BRON IS THE GRAIL´S GUARDIAN AND PERCEVAL BEING BRON´S SUCCESSOR IS HIM WHO, FINALLY, MUST PROTECT THE GRAIL”
5. IN PARZIVAL BY GERMAN WOLFRAM VON ESCHENBACH (C. 1205) THE HOLY GRAIL IS MAGIC STONE CALLED LAPSIT EXCILLIS.
6. PERLESVAUS, WRITTEN SOME YEARS AFTER DIDCOT PERCEVAL, IS SO SIMILAR TO DIDCOT PERCEVAL THAT PROBABLY CAME FROM THE SAME SOURCE. IN PERLESVAUS JESUS CHRIST TOLD JOSEPH ABOUT THE MYSTERIES OF MASS, SOMETHING WHICH ACCORDING TO THE CHURCH WAS STRICTLY RESERVED TO CATHOLIC PRIESTS ORDAINED BY CATHOLIC SUCCESSION OF SAINT PETER. IN THIS ROMANCE, PERCEVAL HEARD A VOICE WHO TOLD HIM TO GIVE OUT THE RELICS FROM THE GRAIL CHAPEL AROUND THE MONASTERIES AND CHURCHES NEARBY. IN PERLESVAUS KING ARTHUR IS THE GRAIL GUARDIAN WITH THE SAME RIGHTS AS BRON OR PERCEVAL.
7. AND 2 MORE STORIES IN THE PROSE VULGATE CYCLE (C.1220), WHERE THE HOLY GRAIL HAS GOT 2 APPEARANCES:
- THE LAST SUPPER CHALICE,
- AND A SACRED BOOK, THE ONE WRITTEN BY JESUS CHRIST.”
“AROUND THE YEAR 1200 THE WORD GRAIL MUST HAVE BEEN USED AS A JACK OF ALL TRADES, IN ORDER TO UNIFY THE SACRED RELICS ASSOCIATED WITH JESUS CHRIST, IN OPPOSITION TO THE OTHER SAINTS´ RELICS. FOR SURE ALL OF THEM ARE LINKED TO THE BIBLE, LIKE THE SWORD WHICH BEHEADED JOHN THE BAPTIST, THE LANCE WHICH PENETRATED JESUS CHRIST´S SIDE, SOLOMON´S BELL AND THE BUST OF JESUS CHRIST SCULPTED BY NICODEMUS (EL VOLTO SANTO SHOWN IN LUCCA´S CATHEDRAL IN LA TOSCANA. IN FACT, PERLESVAUS DESCRIBES A CHAPEL BUILT SPECIALLY TO HOUSE THOSE RELICS, WHICH THE AUTHOR REFERS TO AS “THE SAINTS OF THE GRAIL”. HOWEVER, SINCE THE END OF THE 13TH CENTURY THE WORD GRAIL WAS ALMOST USED EXCLUSIVELY TO REFER TO THE CUP OF THE LAST SUPPER.
“IN EVERY ROMANCE THE GRAIL OR GRAILS APPEAR CUSTODIED BY PERCEVAL´S FAMILY, THE DIRECT DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA. WHEN IT COMES TO EXPLAINING THIS LINEAGE MOST AUTHORS AGREE JOSEPH WAS NAMED GUARDIAN OF THE GRAIL BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. IT´S HERE WHERE THE RELEVANCE OF THE HOLY GRAIL LIES, SINCE IT´S A CLEAR SYMBOL OF AN APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION ALTERNATIVE.” (EN BUSCA DEL SANTO GRIAL. GRAHAM PHILLIPS)
LET´S IMAGINE KING ARTHUR WAS A ROMAN EMPEROR LIKE GRAHAM PHILLIPS SUGGESTS WHEN HE MENTIONS THE HISTORICAL FACT “ACCORDING TO DIDCOT PERCEVAL IN RELATION TO BRITANNIA (5TH CENTURY) BEING THE ONLY SAFE EMPIRE PLACE FROM THE BARBARIC INVASION, WHICH TOOK PLACE DURING THE TIME OF THE HISTORIC ARTHUR (C.480). IF AT THE END OF THE 5TH CENTURY THE HISTORICAL ARTHUR WAS CONSIDERED EMPEROR BRITONS PROBABLY HAD HIM AS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH BACK THEN AS WELL, SINCE AFTER THE 5TH CENTURY THE POPE WAS NOT CONSIDERED THE UNIVERSAL HEAD OF THE CHURCH. GILDAS TELLS US THAT IN THE LATE 5TH CENTURY (70S) THE BRITON LEADER WAS A ROMAN BOSS CALLED AMBROSIO AURELIO, AND IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY IN THE YEAR 488 WHEN ARTHUR SUCCEEDED AS THE LEADER OF THE BRITONS AND RESUMED THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ANGLOSAXON INVASORS” (EN BUSCA DEL SANTO GRIAL. GRAHAM PHILLIPS).
THE FOLLOWING 10 FACTS BACK UP THE EXISTENCE OF KING ARTHUR:
1. “DIDCOT PERCEVAL, LANCELOT AND PERLESVAUS FROM THE VULGATA DESCRIBE ARTHUR AS THE GUARDIAN OF THE GRAIL.
2. DIDCOT PERCEVAL DESCRIBES ARTHUR AS ROMAN EMPEROR.
3. THE DREAM OF RHONABWY (12TH CENTURY WELSH WORK) WHICH IS SUPPOSSEDLY BASED ON A PRIMITIVE EPIC HIGH MIDDLE AGED WELSH POEM, CONTAINS THE OLDEST DESCRIPTION OF ARTHUR´S SWORD, WHICH HAS A DRAWING WITH 2 SNAKES IN ITS GOLDEN HANDLE.
4. THE SONG OF LLYWARCH THE OLD CONFIRMS DURING THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES THE KINGS OF POWYS WERE CONSIDERED TRUE EMPERORS, AND IT ALSO SHOWS ARTHUR WAS ONE OF THEM.
5. DIDCOT PERCEVAL DESCRIBES ARTHUR AS EMPEROR AND HEAD OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. IF HISTORICAL ARTHUR WAS CONSIDERED EMPEROR AT THE END OF THE 5TH CENTURY THEN THERE ARE MANY CHANCES BRITONS COULD HAVE RESPECTED HIM AS WELL AS HEAD OF THE CHURCH. AT THE END OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE MANY PEOPLE CONSIDERED THE EMPEROR AS THE HEAD OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
6. ARTHUR IS DESCRIBED IN THE ROMANCES AS HEAD OF THE CHURCH, ROMAN EMPEROR AND THE HOLY GRAIL GUARDIAN. HISTORICAL ARTHUR COULD HAVE VERY WELL BEEN THOSE 3 THINGS: HEAD OF THE CHURCH, ROMAN EMPEROR, AND THE HOLY GRAIL GUARDIAN. THE HOLY GRAIL ROMANCES REFER TO A GRAIL WHICH THE GRAIL FAMILY OWNED. THEREFORE, IF THE HISTORICAL GRAIL WAS THE HOLY CHALICE IT SEEMS OWAIN DDANTGWYN´S DESCENDANCE WAS THE LEGITIMATE GRAIL FAMILY IN THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES.
7. WHEN WE GO BACK TO CUNEGLASUS, OWAIN´S FIRST-BORN, WE FIND OUT 3 INDEPENDENT GENEALOGIES WHICH REGISTER THE WELSH 9TH CENTURY GOVERNOR´S LINEAGE, HYWEL AP CARADOC. THE 3 GENEALOGIES, THE OLDEST INCLUDED IN THE WELSH ANNALS, RECOGNIZE HYWEL AS MEIC´S DESCENDANT. MEIC WAS CLUNEGLASUS´S THE MONK NENNIO, AUTHOR OF HISTORIA BRITTONUM (THE OLDEST WRITING LEFT ON ARTHUR´S BATTLES) WAS CONTEMPORARY OF HYWEL, AND BESIDES THAT HE WAS A NATIVE OF BANGOR, WHICH IS A FEW KMS AWAY FROM RHOS. THEREFORE, HE PROBABLY GOT ARTHUR´S INFORMATION FROM THAT DIRECT DESCENDANT.
8. ACCORDING TO JOHN ROUS, A 15TH CENTURY CLERGYMAN FROM WARWICK, WARWICK WAS THE PLACE OF ARTHUR´S COURT, WHICH MEANS THE CASTLE WAS CAMELOT. ALTHOUGH WARWICK CAN´T HAVE BEEN THE HISTORIC RESIDENCE OF ARTHUR IT VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN THE PLACE WHERE ROMANCES LOCATED CAMELOT FOR THE 1ST TIME.
9. IF OWAIN DDANTGWYN WAS THE HISTORICAL ARTHUR THEN OWAIN GLENDOWER WAS HIS DIRECT DESCENDANT. GLENDOWER USED A 9TH CENTURY EMBLEM WHICH HAD ARTHUR IN THE 14TH CENTURY THE NORMANS CONQUERED WALES, WHERE THE SAXONS HAD FAILED, AND LEFT OWAIN GLENDOWER IN THE NORMAND PROVINCE OF POWYS TURNED INTO A LORD. SUBMITTED TO THE ENGLISH KING HENRY IV´S AUTHORITY GLENDOWER STARTED TO REBEL, AND WAS PROCLAIMED KING OF WALES BY HIS FOLLOWERS. DURING THAT UPRISING OWAIN GLENDOWER PROCLAIMED HIMSELF KING ARTHUR´S DESCENDANT, AND LED HIS TROOPS UNDER A BATTLE FLAG WITH A GOLDEN DRAGON.
10. AN ANONYMOUS PROSE ROMANCE FULKE LE FITZ WARYN (C.1260) TALKS ABOUT FULK FITZ WARIN (C.1160-1258), WHO BECAME A LORD IN WHITTINGTON (SHROPSHIRE), AND SAYS HE WAS THE ONE WHO FOUND OUT THE HOLY GRAIL. THIS ROMANCE PRESENTS FULK NOT AS POWYS´S KING´S SIMPLE HEIR BUT AS ARTHUR´S LEGITIMATE HEIR, THAT IS, OWAIN DDANTGWYN´S DIRECT DESCENDANT. BESIDES THAT FITZ WARIN WAS THE HOLY GRAIL´S GUARDIAN. MERLIN HAD ALREADY PROPHETIZED FULK´S COMING, THE SAME WAY AS HE DID WITH ARTHUR.” (EN BUSCA DEL SANTO GRIAL. GRAHAM PHILLIPS).
“LET´S REMEMBER THE GRAIL FAMILY IN THE DIDCOT PERCEVAL: “IT´S WELL KNOWN THE GRAIL WAS HANDED TO JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, AND HE HIMSELF, ONCE HE DIED, PASSED IT ONTO HIS BROTHER-IN –LAW WHOSE NAME WAS BRON. BRON HAD 12 CHILDREN AND ONE OF THEM WAS ALAIN LI GROS. THE FISHERMAN KING NAMED ALAIN GUARDIAN OF HIS 11 BROTHERS. ALAIN CAME TO THIS COUNTRY FROM JUDEA, JUST AS OUR LORD HAD COMMANDED HIM…AND AS YOU WELL KNOW ALL, ALAIN LI GROS WAS PERCEVAL´S FATHER, WHO THANKS TO HIS GRANDFATHER BRON WAS CALLED FISHERMAN KING. IN RELATION TO THIS ROMANCE FULKE LE FITZ WARYN THE ORIGIN OF THE PERCEVAL LEGEND IS AT THE END OF THE 11TH CENTURY, IN THE HISTORIC CONTEMPORARY FUGURE OF BLAYSE, WHO CAME FROM SAN ASAPH IN THE NORTH OF WALES AND WAS A CLERGYMAN OF WHITTINGTON IN 1090. BLAYSE WAS PAYNE PEVERIL FULK´S GREAT-GRANDFATHER. PAYNE PEVERIL WAS LORD OF WHITTINGTON. BOTH NAMES ARE REGISTERED IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK AND IN THE FEET OF FINES (13TH CENTURY). NOT ONLY PERCEVAL IS SIMILAR TO PEVERIL, BUT PERCEVAL WAS ALAIN LI GROS´S SON. IN DIDCOT PERCEVAL PERCEVAL´S FATHER IS CALLED ALAIN LI GROS (“CRUX” MEANS CROSS IN LATIN, AND “GROES” MEANS CROSS IN WELSH). PAYNE PEVERIL´S WIFE, LYNETTE WAS A DIRECT DESCENDANT OF OWAIN DDANTGWYN, AND THEREFORE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY WHO WATCHED OVER THE CHALICE, THE HISTORIC GRAIL. IN FULKE LE FITZ WARYN, THE ONE WHO DISCOVERED THE GRAIL WAS PAYNE´S GREAT GRANDSON, WHO LIVED ABOUT A CENTURY LATER. AFTER TRAVELLING AROUND EUROPE HE FINALLY RETURNED HOME TO FIND OUT THE GRAIL IN HIS OWN CHAPEL CRYPT, IN WHITTINGTON: “AND THERE, IN THE CHAPEL OF ST. AGUSTIN, LIKE FULK WAS PURE HE FOUND THE GRAIL, THE ONE OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR HANDED JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA”. PROBABLY IT WAS LYNETTE WHO, AS DIRECT DESCENDANT OF ARTHUR, REQUESTED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHAPEL TO GUARD THE CHALICE”.
“IN FULKE LE FITZ WARYN APART FROM THE GRAIL THERE´S ALSO A TEXT DESCRIBED AS GRAIL, AS A SECOND RELIC. IN THE PARAGRAPHS OF PEVERIL, THE ORIGINAL ROMANCE OF THE GRAIL, WRITTEN IN WELSH AND WHOSE AUTHOR WAS PROBABLY BLAYSE, IN THE ROMANCE OF FULKE WE´RE TOLD IF A MAN ASPIRES TO BE ENLIGHTENED HE WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN POWER AND WISDOM. THAT VERSE CONTINUES SAYING: “ THE GRAIL, THE BOOK OF THE SACRED CUP, TELLS US THIS”. AS THE WORDS “SACRED CUP” SEEM TO REFER TO JESUS CHRIST MORE THAN TO THE CUP, AND THE MENTIONED BOOK APPEARS IN THE ROMANCE OF THE VULGATA, THE GRAIL SEEMS TO CORRESPOND TO A SECRET TEXT, WHICH REPRODUCES THE EXACT WORDS PRONOUNCED BY JESUS CHRIST. IF THE ROMANCES OF THE GRAIL WERE SIMPLE ALLEGORIES REGARDING AN APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION ALTERNATIVE IN THE FIGURE OF JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, THEN THIS BOOK OF THE SACRED CUP WAS PROBABLY AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE GOSPEL. IN FULKE LE FITZ WARYN THERE´S A POWERFUL CONNECTION WITH A PARAGRAPH OF PEVERIL. THIS KING TELLS PERCEVAL THAT IN ORDER TO BE A WISE KING HE WILL HAVE TO FIND BALANCE BETWEEN WISDOM AND POWER. PERCEVAL, TAKEN ABACK BY THE FISHERMAN KING´S ADVICE, DID NOT DARE ASK ANY QUESTIONS TO HIS HOST. HOWEVER, IN PEVERIL PERCEVAL ASKS THE QUESTION: ”WHO SERVES THE GRAIL?” AND BRAN, THE FISHERMAN KING BEING SATISFIED WITH IT, OFFERS HIM THE BOOK AND ANSWERS HIM: “THE GRAIL SERVES THE FISHERMAN KING”. ALTHOUGH THE BOOK STILL GIVES OUT A GREAT BRIGHTNESS IT´S NOW WHEN PERCEVAL IS ABLE TO READ THE TEXT”.
“LA FOLIE PERCEVAL (C.1330) TELLS US CLEARLY THE GRAIL IS A BOOK WHICH CONTAINS JESUS CHRIST´S SECRET WORDS. WHEN THE GNOSTICS STATE THEY HAVE JESUS CHRIST´S SECRET WORDS IT´S THEN WHEN WE NOTICE THE FIRM EXISTING CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GRAIL ROMANCES AND GNOSTICISM. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 4TH CENTURY, THE TIME WHEN CATHOLICISM WAS SET UP, THE CHURCH DECIDED TO INCLUDE ONLY 4 EVANGELISTS IN THE BIBLE: MATHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN, DESPITE THE FACT OTHER TEXTS EXISTED, SUPPOSEDLY DIRECT ONES, FROM JESUS, LIKE THE GOSPELS OF THE NAZARENS, USED IN JERUSALEM BY THE FIRST CHURCH. CONSTANTINE THE GREAT (C.272-337) PROHIBITED ALL THOSE GOSPELS AND ORDERED TO DESTROY ALL THE COPIES. HOWEVER, GNOSTICS CONTINUED TO DEVOTE THEIR TIME TO TEACHING THE GOSPEL THEY BELIEVED IN , THE ONE IN WHICH THEY FOUND JESUS´S SECRET WORDS. JESUS´S SECRET WORDS ARE THE KEY SUBJECT IN THE GRAIL ROMANCES. FOLIE EVEN HAS A BOOK CALLED HOLY GRAIL AND THIS ONE CONTAINS JESUS´S SECRET WORDS, WRITTEN BY HIS DISCIPLE DÍDIMO (APOSTLE THOMAS), THAT IS, A GNOSTIC GOSPEL, DISCOVERED IN EGYPT IN 1945, PROTECTED BY SOME 4TH CENTURY SCROLLS. THEREFORE, THOMAS´S GOSPEL COULD BE THE HOLY GRAIL WHICH APPEARS IN FOLIE, THE ORIGINAL ROMANCE OF THE GRAIL. THOMAS´S SECRET GOSPEL WAS WRITTEN IN COPTIC, ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE TRANSLATION OF A 2ND CENTURY GREEK EDITION. THIS ONE AND OTHER GNOSTIC TEXTS DATE FROM THE 4TH CENTURY AND THE ONE WHO HID THOMAS´S SECRET GOSPEL MANAGED TO SAVE IT FROM THE DESTRUCTION CATHOLIC AUTHORITIES WOULD HAVE INFLICTED. THOMAS´S GOSPEL IS THE MOST SACRED TEXTS OUT OF ALL THOSE GNOSTIC WRITINGS. IT WAS FOUND IN 1945 IN NAG-HAMADI, UPPER EGYPT, BY 2 ARAB FARMERS. THIS GNOSTIC TEXT CONTAINS 114 SECRET PARABLES FROM JESUS. STILL SOME FRAGMENTS OF THE GOSPELS ARE KEPT IN THE OLDEST ONE OF ALL, THE RYLANDS FRAGMENT WHICH HAS 6 VERSES FROM JOHN´S GOSPEL (C.125). NOWADAYS THE GRAIL IS NO LONGER A CRAFT OBJECT, RATHER IT REPRESENTS THE SEARCH FOR THE KNOWLEDGE, FOR THE TRUTH“(EN BUSCA DEL SANTO GRIAL. GRAHAM PHILLIPS).
AND THAT´S WHAT WE´RE HERE FOR. ONE OF OUR KEY AIMS HERE IN LIFE IS SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH. THE AIM OF THIS WHOLE PROJECT OF WRITING A MONTHLY DOCUMENT I´M COMMITTED MYSELF TO IS ALSO THE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH AND ALSO SERVING ALL OF YOU, MY BROTHERS.
I STARTED WRITING POETRY WHEN I WAS SEVENTEEN. THE REASON WHY I SOMETIMES CHOOSE THIS GENRE TO EXPRESS SOMETHING I WANT TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THAT´S THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY TO DO IT. THE SAME REASONS BLAYSE (12TH CENTURY) PROBABLY MUST HAVE HAD WHEN HE SUPPOSEDLY WROTE PEVERIL, THE ORIGINAL ROMANCE OF THE GRAIL. WHEN WE THINK OF THE FACT AUTHORS CHANGED THE NAME OF THE KNIGHT PEVERIL TO PERCEVAL, AND OTHER AUTHORS LIKE WOLFRAM CHANGED IT TO PARZIVAL, AND OTHERS TO PEREDUR IN THE WELSH VERSION WE CAN´T HELP BUT WONDER WHY. ONE OF THE REASONS BEHIND IT MAY WELL BE TO MAKE US THINK OF THE DIFFERENT NAMES AS RELATED TO EACH OTHER, TO MAKE US REALIZE IMPORTANT THINGS ARE NOT SO EASY TO SEE, AND TO MAKE US SEARCH FOR WHAT´S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US, SINCE KEY THINGS ARE USUALLY HIDDEN LIKE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE, WHICH SOMETIMES ARE NOT SO OBVIOUS. ALL THESE AUTHORS CONSCIOUSLY CHANGING THE NAME OF PEVERIL TO DIFFERENT ONES MEANT TO MAKE US STOP FOR A MINUTE AND SAY: “WHAT´S GOING ON HERE?”. WHAT THEY PROBLABLY WANTED US TO THINK WAS THE SAME AS THEY DID WHEN THEY CHANGED THE NAMES OF PEVERIL, SINCE THE SAME HAPPENED WITH JESUS´S SACRED WORDS, WHICH WERE DESTROYED ALONG THE WAY BY THE 1ST CMTGS. JESUS´S SACRED WORDS ARE WHAT WE CALL WISDOM. WHENEVER A PERSON IS WISE AND POWERFUL THERE´S SOMETHING ELSE THAT PERSON NEEDS IN ORDER TO KEEP DOING THINGS RIGHT OVER THE LONGEST PERIOD OF TIME POSSIBLE AND THAT IS BALANCE.
REGARDING BALANCE LET´S BEGIN BY SAYING THAT THERE ARE COUNTRIES WHERE SOME OF THEIR TRADITIONS LEAD THEIR PARENTS ALMOST INTO PUSHING THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF THEIR HOUSES WHEN THEY ARE 18, MAKING THEM FEEL THEY BOTHER THEM AND CREATING IN THEM A FEELING OF BEING UNWANTED. ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE OTHER COUNTRIES WHOSE TRADITIONS ARE ON THE OTHER EXTREME AND THEIR MOTHERS MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE TO RETAIN THEIR “CHILDREN” AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. FOR SURE WHAT´S MISSING HERE IS BALANCE.
SINCE THE BALANCE GAME WE´RE TALKING ABOUT IS BETWEEN SERVING THE OTHERS AND POWER LET´S ROUND IT OFF SHOWING ALL OF YOU ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO START OFF THE DAY SERVING THE OTHERS. HERE IT GOES: WHILE EACH ONE OF US IS STILL IN BED IN THE MORNING, BEFORE WE GET UP, WE CAN SPLENDIDLY START OFF THE DAY SAYING THE FOLLOWING PRAYER TO GOD; BUT BEFORE SAYING THE PRAYER WE MUST DO 2 THINGS:
1) THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING WE HAVE AND TELL HIM HOW MUCH WE LOVE HIM.
2) WE MUST MAKE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS 1ST ON OUR FOREHEAD, 2ND ON OUR MOUTH, 3RD ON OUR CHEST AND FINAL ONE THE GENERAL ONE (HEAD TO STOMACH).
ONCE WE´VE GONE THROUGH THOSE 2 KEY STEPS WE´LL BE READY TO START TALKING TO GOD THE FOLLOWING WAY:
1. FIRST WE SAY THE MAN OF SORROWS – ACT OF CONTRITION PRAYER:
“Jesus, Son of God – Man of Sorrows
He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief…. He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. – Isaiah 53:3
He came unto His own, and His own received Him not…. – John 1:11
For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishment, but most of all because they offend thee, my God, who art all-good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin.
+ In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” (MAN OF SORROWS-ACT OF CONTRITION PRAYER-ADOREMUS BULLETIN,DIC 2007).
2. AND THEN THE PRAYER IN QUESTION: “LORD, WITH THE PRAYER I´M ABOUT TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW I WANT TO SAVE ALL THE SOULS WHO DIED A LONG TIME AGO, ALL THE ONES WHO HAVE JUST DIED AND THE ONES WHO WILL DIE TODAY. (BEFORE WE START THE PRAYER WE MUST MAKE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS FROM OUR FOREHEAD TO OUR NOSE AND FROM 1 SIDE OF OUR FOREHEAD TO THE OTHER ONE WHILE WE SAY: “BY THE SIGN OF THE HOLY CROSS”. THEN WE MAKE ANOTHER SIGN OF THE CROSS FROM OUR NOSE TO OUR CHIN AND FROM OUR CHEEK TO CHEEK WHILE SAYING: “OF OUR ENEMIES”. AFTER THAT WE MAKE A 3RD SIGN OF THE CROSS GOING FROM THE CHIN TO THE CHEST AND ACROSS FROM SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WHILE WE SAY: “DELIVER US LORD , OUR LORD”. AND FINALLY WE MAKE A BIG 4TH CROSS FROM THE CENTER OF THE FOREHEAD TO THE CHEST AND FROM SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WHILE SAYING: “IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT”). HERE IT GOES MY LORD:
“OH, JESUS, I ASK YOU TO GRANT ME THE GRACE OF SAVING ONE SOUL FOR EVERY BEAT MY HEART TAKES, TOGETHER WITH THE ONES FROM YOUR HEART, MY LORD, AND TOGETHER WITH THE BEATS OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF YOUR HOLY MOTHER TAKES, I BEG YOU TO LISTEN TO ME FOR YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD AND YOUR DIVINE MERCY, AMEN”. AFTER SAYING THIS AWSOME PRAYER ON A DAILY BASIS WE WILL BE SERVING GOD 1560 MINUTES, 24H, 365 DAYS BY THE NUMBER OF YEARS WE END UP LIVING, THATS A LOT OF DAYS OF SERVING THE OTHERS. WOW!!
IF WE WERE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION “WHO SERVES THE GRAIL?” WE WOULD SAY IT SERVES THOSE WHO SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH. HOW COME? WELL, SINCE THE UNIVERSE IS ENERGY AND EACH ONE OF US IS ENERGY AS WELL THERE´S NO OTHER WAY OF BEING AROUND HERE BUT BEING ON THE SAME WAVE LENGHT OR ON A DIFFERENT ONE. WHAT WE MEAN IS IF WE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH IN EVERYTHING IN OUR LIFE THEN, AND ONLY THEN WILL BE IN THE POSITION OF GETTING WHAT EACH ONE OF US DESERVES. LET´S REMEMBER THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, WHICH IS THE GRAIL AS WELL SINCE IT ONLY SERVES PURE HEARTS, THE ONES WHOSE LIVES ARE GOOD, REQUIRED OF THE ONES HOLDING IT OR THE ONES WHO WANTED TO GET CLOSE TO IT OF SEEING EYE TO EYE WITH IT, THAT IS, WITH PURITY, WITH GOD. THE SAME HAPPENS WHEN THE CUP AND THE HOST AT EVERY EUCHARIST CELEBRATED. BOTH THE CUP AND THE HOST ARE THE GRAIL, BUT THEY´LL ONLY SERVE ANYONE OF US IF AND ONLY IF WE DESERVE IT. DO WE DESERVE IT? THAT´S THE KEY QUESTION EACH ONE OF US MUST BE ASKING EACH OTHER THIS VERY MOMENT. IF WE HAVEN´T DONE OUR HOMEWORK IT´S JUST ABOUT TIME TO GET STARTED. AND THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT IS BY START SERVING THE OTHERS. YOU KNOW HOW. JUST OPEN YOUR EYES AROUND YOU, OPEN YOUR HEART, FORGET ABOUT YOU AND YOUR EGOIST DESIRES AND GET DOWN TO IT.
ONE 2017 MOVIE WHICH TALKS ABOUT THIS KEY IDEA IS LIFE DIRECTED BY DANIEL ESPINOSA AND STARRING JAKE GYLLENHAAL, REBECCA FERGUSON, RYAN REYNOLDS, HIROYUKI SANADA, ARIYON BAKARE AND OLGA DIHOVICHNAYA. HERE WE SEE HOW EACH ONE OF THE 6-MEMBER INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION CREW SACRIFICED HIS LIFE IN ORDER TO SAVE THE REST. THIS FILM REALLY SHOWS VERY WELL THIS IDEA OF SERVING THE OTHERS. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT. BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU GO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR EMOTIONS. IT´S FUNNY BUT LATELY I´VE NOTICED NOBODY IN THE MOVIE ROOMS CRIES WHENEVER ONE OF THOSE EXTREMELY MOVING SCENES COMES ALONG AND FORCES US, TO GO IN SEARCH OF OUR KLEENEX, MAINLY TO AVOID THE REST FROM SEEING OUR FACES ALL IN TEARS WHEN WE´RE HEADING FOR THE WAY OUT. BUT BEFORE THAT TAKES PLACE WE´VE EXPERIENCED THE UNIQUE SOUND OF OUR NOSE BEING BLOWN ON OUR KLEENEX, BEING THE ONLY NOISE, THE ONLY ONE MOVED BY THAT WONDERFUL SCENE WHICH REMAINS IN OUR RETINA FOR AGES, AND ALL THAT MAKES US WONDER WHY THE REST DON´T CRY OR SHOW ANY FEELINGS WHATSOEVER. IS IT BECAUSE HUMAN BEINGS ARE LOOSING TOUCH WITHIN THEMSELVES MORE AND MORE AS TIME GOES BY? SURELY THINGS POINT THAT WAY, AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT, SPECIALLY IF WE WANT TO BE LUCKY WINNERS. AND WE´RE TALKING GRAIL, THE ONE WHO´S IN FRONT OF US, IN THE EUCHARIST, IN THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE, SINCE GOD, OUR LORD, THE CRADLE OF ALL ENERGIES AND OF EVERYTHING IS WAITING FOR EACH ONE OF US TO BE ON THE SAME WAVE LENGTH TO SERVE US. BUT LET´S REMEMBER ONLY FISHERMAN KINGS, THAT IS, HUMAN BEINGS WHO SAVE OTHERS, WHO SERVE OTHERS ARE SERVED IN RETURN. GOD, THE UNIVERSE, THE GRAIL IS ALL THE SAME AND THEY WORK THIS WAY. WE LOVE GOD AND WE THANK GOD FOR THIS, FOR YOU AND FOR EVERYTHING. THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING IN FRONT OF US EVERYDAY. LET´S HOPE FOR THE DAY EACH ONE OF US DESERVES TO BE SERVED. AMEN.
