In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message
Abd-ru-shin
In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message is a classic work that offers
clear and perceptive answers to questions which challenge every human
being. Written between the years 1923 - 1938, it is a collection of
168 essays addressing all spheres of life ranging from God and the Universe
to the Laws in Creation, the meaning of life, responsibility, free will,
intuition and the intellect, the ethereal world and the beyond, justice
and love. It answers eternal questions such as what does it mean to
be human, what is the purpose of life on Earth, and what happens to
"me" when I die. In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message explains the
causes and significance of the unprecedented crises facing humanity,
and our responsibilities to the future.
Concerning In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, Abd-ru-shin
writes, "I wish to fill the gaps which so far have remained unanswered
in the souls of men as burning questions, and which never leave any
serious thinker in peace."
Throughout The Grail Message readers are urged to weigh questions and
answers intuitively, to confront them within their own life experiences,
and only to believe that which they can perceive inwardly. Only through
this process can one reach true conviction in one's life.

"In the Light of Truth is a classic
work written some 60 years ago [that] carries the weight
of a time-tested message (nearly one million copies in print
world-wide.) The essential truth, the desire to challenge us,
to confront questions and answers within ourselves, shines through.
The serious seeker, the reader who is willing to make the effort
this book requires, will find inspiration, guidance, encouragement,
and truth."

"In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message,
which Oskar Ernst Bernhardt began to write in 1923 in Dresden,
has now been translated into almost all the civilized languages
of the western hemisphere, and is available ... around the
globe. It was forbidden in the 'Third Reich', but was also
on the list of banned literature in East Germany. These periods
of prohibition (in East Germany more than fifty years) markedly
curtailed the possibility of disseminating In the Light
of Truth and making it known. One wonders why a non-political
book like In the Light of Truth was still regarded
by political systems as a 'source of danger.' The reason,
perhaps, is that it sets up personal awareness of responsibility
and individual freedom of choice against all conformity. Furthermore
dogmatic limitations are alien to it, since it gives a comprehensive
understanding, on the basis of the Laws of Creation, of the
world and of life--beyond nationalities, races, and creeds."
