From the ancient British tales of King Arthur and his knights through
the medieval Central European sagas of Parzival, right up to
modern-day blockbuster novels and films, the Grail has long maintained
its enigmatic presence in western culture. It is said to be many
things: a lost and priceless treasure, the chalice cup of the Last
Supper, the cup that caught Jesus Christ's blood from the cross on
Golgotha, or even a secret royal bloodline...Basing his presentations
on far-reaching spiritual research, Rudolf Steiner gave profoundly
esoteric, multifaceted insights into the mysteries of the Holy Grail.
Collected together for the first time in a single volume, together
with commentary and notes, these passages offer vivid tableaux with a
multiplicity of meanings: a story that speaks to the human soul with a
depth and complexity that intellectual interpretations alone cannot
begin to fathom. Just as Parzival had to encounter and engage with
veils of illusion and valleys of shadow and doubt, Rudolf Steiner
presents us with a similarly challenging path.
This book is more than a treasure of thought and insight: it invites
us to embark on a personal quest to develop the abilities and vision
required for grasping the elusive Grail itself. As editor Matthew
Barton writes: "_The vessel of the Grail gradually descends towards us
and comes into focus as we raise ourselves individually to it by
piercing through the illusions of materialism, acknowledging that we
ourselves can ultimately become true vessels for the spirit_."
