PROOF FROM SCRIPTURE

Genesis 3:15

No direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture. But the first scriptural passage which contains the promise of the redemption, mentions also the Mother of the Redeemer. The sentence against the first parents was accompanied by the Earliest Gospel (Proto-evangelium), which put enmity between the serpent and the woman: "and I will put enmity between thee and the woman and her seed; she (he) shall crush thy head and thou shalt lie in wait for her (his) heel" (Genesis 3:15). The translation "she" of the Vulgate is interpretative; it originated after the fourth century, and cannot be defended critically. The conqueror from the seed of the woman, who should crush the serpent's head, is Christ; the woman at enmity with the serpent is Mary. God puts enmity between her and Satan in the same manner and measure, as there is enmity between Christ and the seed of the serpent. Mary was ever to be in that exalted state of soul which the serpent had destroyed in man, i.e. in sanctifying grace. Only the continual union of Mary with grace explains sufficiently the enmity between her and Satan. The Proto-evangelium, therefore, in the original text contains a direct promise of the Redeemer, and in conjunction therewith the manifestation of the masterpiece of His Redemption, the perfect preservation of His virginal Mother from original sin.

Luke 1:28

The salutation of the angel Gabriel -- chaire kecharitomene, Hail, full of grace (Luke 1:28) indicates a unique abundance of grace, a supernatural, godlike state of soul, which finds its explanation only in the Immaculate Conception of Mary. But the term kecharitomene (full of grace) serves only as an illustration, not as a proof of the dogma.

God Himself tells us that nothing imperfect can enter Heaven (Cf. Revelation 21:27). Only the very good immediately enter Heaven and the very bad desrve Hell. Seeing as how, when we die, many of us will not fit in either of those two extreme ategories we must fit somewhere else; somewhere in the middle; this place is called Purgatory.

You see, the majority of people are neither so free from sin as to merit immediate entrance into Heaven, nor so bad as to be punished forever in Hell.

Let us compare human justice with that of divine justice. They are both somewhat similar because our human justice system is modeled after the divine justice system. Without the divine justice system we could have no human justice system.

Human justice recognizes big criminals and little criminals and punishes them accordingly. It has a jail to punish criminals for one, ten, or thirty days, and a penitentiary where it punishes many for several years to lifetimes. For instance, say in your community two men are arrested, one for speeding and one for murder; both are tried and sentenced to the penitentiary for life.

Do you consider that justice when one who speeds commits a lesser crime than the other yet gets the same punishment as the murderer?

If you deny Purgatory, then you are accusing God of dealing unjustly with His disobedient creatures.

Purgatory is the place where those who die with small sin(s) unatoned are punished for an amount of time appropriate to the amount and severity of the sin(s) as deemed by God. It is the final purification. Those who make it to Purgatory, die in the state of grace. They are the friends of God, who before death, were guilty of venial sin(s) or they failed to do sufficient penance for sins already forgiven.

The Catechism describes it as a process and not a place of purification after death for the saved. To claim that you are assured of your salvation and entrance into Heaven because you simply believe in Jesus is blasphemy. For if that were true you would have to be as perfect as God and Jesus which no human is capable of (which we, however, are to strive for). You would have to not have the ability to sin.

Muhammad was poisoned by the widow of a man he murdered. Unlike Jesus Christ, who gave his live to take aways the sins of the world, and whose tomb is empty, Muhammad died due to his own sin on June 8, 632 and his remains are still entombed.

IF THE MOUNTAIN WILL NOT COME TO MOHAMMED, MOHAMMED WILL GO TO THE MOUNTAIN - when the founder of Islam was asked to give proofs of his teaching, he ordered Mount Safa to come to him. When the mountain did not comply, Mohammed raised his hands toward heaven and said, 'God is merciful. Had it obeyed my words, it would have fallen on us to our destruction. I will therefore go to the mountain and thank God that he has had mercy on a stiff-necked generation

Hi all, I need some replies here or hve all the atheist seeking for prove that God do exit left the forum, lol,

Vatican approval

The teachings of Catholicism and faith healing are not diametrically opposed, even to the Vatican. Since the 1960s, the charismatic renewal movement within the church has advocated a more Pentecostal style of worship, including “charisms” such as speaking in tongues and healing. It has met, perhaps surprisingly, with general approval from church leaders.

In 1979, addressing the movement’s leaders, Pope John Paul II said charisms are “all part of the richness of the Lord. I am convinced that this movement is a sign of his action.”

When Pope Benedict XVI was still Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he wrote the foreword to a book on the charismatic movement. Criticizing “a world imbued with a rationalistic skepticism,” he wrote that charisms were “not just ancient history, over and done with.” He cautioned, however, against charismatic Catholics’ going too far and subverting the central role of the church’s hierarchy.

Dr. Olupona said that 10 or 20 years ago, the Nigerian Catholic hierarchy might have asked Father Mbaka to keep quiet. “But they realize that it’s a different story now,” he said. “If they did that now, they would be courting their own demise. People believe in him.”

Father Mbaka, a handsome 38-year-old, says he began his healing ministry in 1996 after discovering he had curative powers. “It is the work of the Holy Spirit,” he explains. “I can’t heal anyone as a human being. I am open to God as a channel. And the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk. Cancers disappear.”

He says those who doubt him will face God’s wrath. Three days earlier, a man in a neighboring state vehemently criticized his ministry. As punishment, Father Mbaka says, God struck the man blind. “If he repents, he will see again,” he says.

Every Wednesday, Father Mbaka’s all-night healing sessions draw thousands to the vacant lot he calls the Adoration Grounds, next to his Catholic parish. Around 10 p.m., after hours of preaching by his followers, he strolls in like a rock star.

The band at stage left blares - lots of drumming, blasts of trumpets, and occasional female vocalists. He holds a golden cross and wears the traditional finery of the Catholic Church; followers reach out to touch the hem of his gold and ivory robe
A dozen priests and almost 30 nuns follow him. There will be a Communion service later, and Father Mbaka needs help distributing the Eucharist to the swelling crowd.

“In America, I would not see a crowd one-hundredth the size of this one,” he tells the cheering crowd. “But the spirit of God is in Africa.”

Father Mbaka rattles off passages in Scripture that support his healing ministry. Luke, Chapter 7: “But say the word, and my servant will be healed.” Matthew, Chapter 19: “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Jesus’ own words, he says, are what will bring the miracles in a few short hours.

Father Mbaka’s flock is very poor, and he says he needs money to serve them. He wants to buy land in the country and build housing for orphans and the elderly. To support his dream, he made a fundraising swing though America a few months ago, including a stop in Dallas.

“In America, they have the money but not the worshippers,” he tells the crowd. “Here we have the worshippers but not the money.”

To raise cash, he has started selling his own private-label “healing water,” called Aquarapha. “God is using Aquarapha to heal a lot of diseases,” his newsletter says, next to a customer testimonial claiming that the water healed his swollen eyelids.

Father Mbaka acknowledges that most American Catholics would be skeptical of his ministry. It doesn’t bother him. “That’s the problem with the American church,” he says. “There is not enough faith. I believe the God of old is still the God of the present.”

ENUGU, Nigeria - Ejike Mbaka is telling a story. The 20,000 Nigerians gathered around him in the red-dust lot have gone quiet.

“Last week, there was a man who was mad, insane,” he begins, standing on a rickety stage. “For years, the doctors attempted to heal him. But the infirmity continued. He came to me for help.
“I gave him some healing water” - and here, some in the audience hold up the small plastic packages of water he sells, 45 cents each - “and told him to pour it in his ear on Sunday. Then pour it in his other ear on Monday.

“He did exactly that. And on Tuesday, a large frog crawled out of his ear. And he was cured.”

Appreciative cheers from the audience. “Such are the things God can do,” he says.

It’s about 10 p.m. When the sun comes up in the morning, the crowd will still be here - except for those injured thrashing on the ground under the Holy Spirit’s spell.

What’s remarkable about the scene isn’t what Ejike Mbaka says. It’s who he is. He’s not a witch doctor. He’s not a Pentecostal preacher. He’s an ordained Catholic priest.

After sunrise, he’ll go back to his parish, Christ the King Catholic Church, and hear confessions. But for now, he’s promising the crowd hundreds of miracles on this night. If they’re lucky, he might even repeat a feat he says he’s accomplished four times before: raising a man from the dead.

Scholars say Father Mbaka and his brand of Catholicism symbolize the impact that Christianity’s rapid expansion in the Third World could have on the faith: pushing mainline religion toward the supernatural.

“That is what is defining the face of Christianity in Africa now,” said Jacob Olupona, a native Nigerian and a religion scholar at the University of California at Davis. “The church is discovering how powerful a phenomenon it is, how popular it is with the people. And now they can’t stop it. So they go along with it.”

Some within the church worry about this nudging of conventional Christian doctrine toward the mystical. But others, including Father Mbaka, say it’s a welcome return to the early days of Christianity, when earthly signs of God’s power were a regular and acknowledged part of the faith. He quotes Psalm 97 to emphasize God’s force: The mountains melt like wax before the Lord.

“I believe that, as a Catholic priest, I am a healing instrument of God to my generation,” he says. “The whole environment is charged for a miracle.”

Whether God exists?

Objection 1. It seems that God does not exist; because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word "God" means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable; but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.

Objection 2. Further, it is superfluous to suppose that what can be accounted for by a few principles has been produced by many. But it seems that everything we see in the world can be accounted for by other principles, supposing God did not exist. For all natural things can be reduced to one principle which is nature; and all voluntary things can be reduced to one principle which is human reason, or will. Therefore there is no need to suppose God's existence.

On the contrary, It is said in the person of God: "I am Who am." (Exodus 3:14)

I answer that, The existence of God can be proved in five ways.

The first and more manifest way is the argument from motion. It is certain, and evident to our senses, that in the world some things are in motion. Now whatever is in motion is put in motion by another, for nothing can be in motion except it is in potentiality to that towards which it is in motion; whereas a thing moves inasmuch as it is in act. For motion is nothing else than the reduction of something from potentiality to actuality. But nothing can be reduced from potentiality to actuality, except by something in a state of actuality. Thus that which is actually hot, as fire, makes wood, which is potentially hot, to be actually hot, and thereby moves and changes it. Now it is not possible that the same thing should be at once in actuality and potentiality in the same respect, but only in different respects. For what is actually hot cannot simultaneously be potentially hot; but it is simultaneously potentially cold. It is therefore impossible that in the same respect and in the same way a thing should be both mover and moved, i.e. that it should move itself. Therefore, whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another. If that by which it is put in motion be itself put in motion, then this also must needs be put in motion by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover; seeing that subsequent movers move only inasmuch as they are put in motion by the first mover; as the staff moves only because it is put in motion by the hand. Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover, put in motion by no other; and this everyone understands to be God.

The second way is from the nature of the efficient cause. In the world of sense we find there is an order of efficient causes. There is no case known (neither is it, indeed, possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself; for so it would be prior to itself, which is impossible. Now in efficient causes it is not possible to go on to infinity, because in all efficient causes following in order, the first is the cause of the intermediate cause, and the intermediate is the cause of the ultimate cause, whether the intermediate cause be several, or only one. Now to take away the cause is to take away the effect. Therefore, if there be no first cause among efficient causes, there will be no ultimate, nor any intermediate cause. But if in efficient causes it is possible to go on to infinity, there will be no first efficient cause, neither will there be an ultimate effect, nor any intermediate efficient causes; all of which is plainly false. Therefore it is necessary to admit a first efficient cause, to which everyone gives the name of God.

The third way is taken from possibility and necessity, and runs thus. We find in nature things that are possible to be and not to be, since they are found to be generated, and to corrupt, and consequently, they are possible to be and not to be. But it is impossible for these always to exist, for that which is possible not to be at some time is not. Therefore, if everything is possible not to be, then at one time there could have been nothing in existence. Now if this were true, even now there would be nothing in existence, because that which does not exist only begins to exist by something already existing. Therefore, if at one time nothing was in existence, it would have been impossible for anything to have begun to exist; and thus even now nothing would be in existence--which is absurd. Therefore, not all beings are merely possible, but there must exist something the existence of which is necessary. But every necessary thing either has its necessity caused by another, or not. Now it is impossible to go on to infinity in necessary things which have their necessity caused by another, as has been already proved in regard to efficient causes. Therefore we cannot but postulate the existence of some being having of itself its own necessity, and not receiving it from another, but rather causing in others their necessity. This all men speak of as God.

The fourth way is taken from the gradation to be found in things. Among beings there are some more and some less good, true, noble and the like. But "more" and "less" are predicated of different things, according as they resemble in their different ways something which is the maximum, as a thing is said to be hotter according as it more nearly resembles that which is hottest; so that there is something which is truest, something best, something noblest and, consequently, something which is uttermost being; for those things that are greatest in truth are greatest in being, as it is written in Metaph. ii. Now the maximum in any genus is the cause of all in that genus; as fire, which is the maximum heat, is the cause of all hot things. Therefore there must also be something which is to all beings the cause of their being, goodness, and every other perfection; and this we call God.

The fifth way is taken from the governance of the world. We see that things which lack intelligence, such as natural bodies, act for an end, and this is evident from their acting always, or nearly always, in the same way, so as to obtain the best result. Hence it is plain that not fortuitously, but designedly, do they achieve their end. Now whatever lacks intelligence cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence; as the arrow is shot to its mark by the archer. Therefore some intelligent being exists by whom all natural things are directed to their end; and this being we call God.

Reply to Objection 1. As Augustine says (Enchiridion xi): "Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works, unless His omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil." This is part of the infinite goodness of God, that He should allow evil to exist, and out of it produce good.

Reply to Objection 2. Since nature works for a determinate end under the direction of a higher agent, whatever is done by nature must needs be traced back to God, as to its first cause. So also whatever is done voluntarily must also be traced back to some higher cause other than human reason or will, since these can change or fail; for all things that are changeable and capable of defect must be traced back to an immovable and self-necessary first principle, as was shown in the body of the Article.

Nnamani Is Behind Armed Attack On Me – Mbaka

Fiery Catholic Priest, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has accused the Enugu State Governor, Chimaroke Nnamani of sponsoring the recent armed attack on him in the city.

16th May
By Anene Ugoani,Correspondent, Enugu.

He told a news conference at the weekend in his residence at the Christ the King Parish, Ekulu, GRA, Enugu, that Nnamani has for a long time been making efforts to get him killed.

Said he: "No one is in doubt that the governor has been pursuing me. He is the principal suspect in the latest attempt to assassinate me. God miraculously delivered me. I called on Jesus and His mother to provide angels for me. The number of bullets the six armed men fired at me can fill one polythene bag.

"This miraculous escape should be a message to the Enugu State government that darkness can never prevail over light. Whoever is digging a grave for me, will fall into the grave himself. The Holy Bible on the dash board of the vehicle trapped the bullets fired at me. There is power in the Bible. If you don’t have a Bible, go now and buy one".

Contacted, Commissioner for Information, Enugu State, Mr. Igbonekwu Ogazimorah said the police verdict on the incident was explicit, having described it as a robbery attack.

He said there was no motivation or gain for the governor or the state government to attack or sponsor same against Mbaka as the government was too busy pursuing people-oriented programmes.

Six gunmen attacked Mbaka in the early hours of May 9 on Park Avenue as he was driving home from the residence of the Bishop of Enugu Catholic Diocese, Rt. Rev. Anthony Gbuji.

Mbaka and three young orphans in the Mitsubishi Jeep with registration No. KP461-KJA, escaped unhurt but the front and rear windshields of the vehicle were badly shattered with bullets.

At the news conference, the priest flayed the Enugu State Commissioner of Police (CP), Charles Dawodu, for telling reporters that he was attacked by armed robbers.

He said: "It was an assassination attempt, not armed robbery. The armed men first confirmed that I am Fr. Mbaka before they started to shoot at me. I had between N50,000 and N60,000 in the car. Nobody touched it. The GSM handset in my pocket was left intact. They never searched me. I keep wondering why the Commissioner of Police lied to reporters that I was attacked by armed robbers."

In the abstract, the details of Marvin Gaye's death read like a Biblical parable: Man hollers at wife. Son, defending mother, hollers back at father. Father hollers at son. Son smites father. Father kills son.

But the devil is in the details.

The slaying, 20 years ago this spring, was the climax of a long-festering, pathological relationship between the troubled, drug-addled soul singer and his oddball father.

Their relationship featured violence, competition, humiliation, rancor and hate. They had argued and fought most of their lives, perhaps because they were too much alike to ever hope to get along.

Each was deeply conflicted.

Marvin Sr. was a terminally out-of-work fundamentalist preacher who ranted against the sins of indulgence. Yet he was an avid consumer of vodka and a zealous cross-dresser.
Like his dad, Marvin Jr. was a contradictory character, made up of equal parts hubris and self-loathing, boundless egomania and debilitating insecurities.

He consumed prodigious amounts of cocaine and as a result spent his life in debt, despite earning millions.

"How much have I spent in toot over the years?" Gaye mused a few years before his death. "I don't want to know... Enough to certify me as a fool. You'd have to call me a drug addict and a sex freak."

True, sex was another of Gay's singular contradictions.

Marketed as Motown's lover man, he was a misogynist who beat the women he professed to love—a trait he inherited from his father. He sang ballads and duets about soulful romance, yet forced his lovers into degrading and kinky acts that satisfied his sadism and voyeurism.
"The dark side of life and the dark side of the mind really fascinated him," Janice Hunter, Gaye's second wife, told biographer Steve Turner. "There was stuff that I can't even talk about that just went so deep, so dark and so bizarre... Forbidden, dangerous, scary, off-the-wall ways of thinking and behaving."

Gaye barred Hunter from pursuing her dream of becoming a singer.

"I'm the last of the great chauvinists," he told David Ritz, another biographer. "I like to see women serve me—and that's that. In Jan's case, serving me meant feeding my fantasies—my evil fantasies."

Gaye was a chronic masturbator and connoisseur of pornography. He struggled with fear of flying, stage fright, impotence and other forms of sexual dysfunction, paranoia, irrational jealousies and homophobia.

He was envious of men who sang in lower registers than he could because he feared his voice would seem effeminate by comparison. Growing up, kids teased him about his "sissy" father, Marvin Pentz Gay Sr. Marvin Jr. added the "e" to his stage name as a teenager.

At his father's insistence, Marvin Jr. spent the first third of his life suppressing all urges to indulge in secular vices. Once freed of his father's rule, he spent the final two-thirds of his life indulging every vice that struck his fancy.

Yes, Marvin Sr. shot and killed Marvin Jr. on April 1, 1984. But their story is much more than a "domestic dispute," as old school cops might call it.

God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way.

By a roadway in the wilderness, He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today.

God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way

The Holy Grail
The Holy Vessel in the Grail-castle, as a symbol of the purest divine Love, as the pledge of Father-God's eternal goodness and the departure point for the outgoing divine power

The Holy Grail
-Abdruschin-
-In The Light Of Truth-
»
Manifold are the interpretations of the poetic works which exist about the Holy Grail. The most serious scholars and researchers have occupied themselves with this mystery. Some of their work has high moral value, but it all bears within it the great fault that it shows only a building up from the earthly upwards, while the main thing, the ray of Light from above downwards, which alone could bring animation and enlightenment, is lacking.

All that strives from below upwards must come to a halt at the boundary of material substance, even when it is permitted to attain to the highest. In most cases, however, with the most favourable pre-conditions, barely half of this way can be covered. But how far then is the way yet to the true recognition of the Holy Grail!

This intuitive perception that it is so unattainable finally makes itself felt with the researchers. The result is that they try to take the Grail as a purely symbolic designation of a concept, in order thus to give it the high place which they quite rightly sense inwardly to be necessary for this designation. In so doing, however, they are really going backward, not forward. Downward instead of upward. They are deviating from the right way which the poetic works already indicate in part.

Only these allow the Truth to be divined. But only to be divined, because the high inspirations and visionary pictures of the poets were made far toTo earthly through the intellect co-operating in the transmission. They endowed the reproduction of what was spiritually received with the image of their earthly surroundings at the time, in order thus to make the meaning of their poetic work more understandable to men, in which nevertheless they still did not succeed, because they themselves could not come close to the real essence of the Truth.

The Parsifal is a great promise. The deficiencies and errors, which through their all too earthly way of thinking the poets of the legends have added, distort the real essence of this Figure. Parsifal is one with the Son of Man, Whose Coming the Son of God Himself proclaimed.

An Envoy of God, with a bandage before His spiritual eyes, He will have to go through the most severe earthly hardships, outwardly as man among men. After a certain time, freed from this bandage, He must again recognise His Starting-point and with it Himself, as well as clearly seeing His Mission before Him. This Mission will likewise bring a redemption for the seriously-seeking humanity, linked with a rigorous Judgment.

For this, however, not just any human being can be assumed, much less still is the possible experiencing of numerous or even of all men to be recognised in it; but it will be only one quite definite, especially sent One.

No spiritual-substantiate one, however high and pure and radiant, is able to cross the boundary to the Divine. The boundary, and the impossibility of crossing it, lies also here, as in the spheres or planes of Material Creation, simply in the nature of things, in the difference between the species.

As uppermost and highest is God Himself in His Divine Unsubstantiality. Then next and somewhat lower comes Divine Substantiality. Both are eternal. Only then is this joined by the Work of Creation, going deeper and deeper, becoming denser and denser in descending planes or spheres down to the finite World of Gross Matter, which becomes visible to human beings.

The ethereal in Material Creation is what men call the beyond. Thus what is beyond their earthly, gross material ability to see. Both, however, belong to the Work of Creation, and are not eternal in their form, but subject to change for the purpose of renewal and regeneration.

It is a Chalice, in which there is a ceaseless bubbling and surging like red blood, without ever overflowing. Radiantly enveloped by the lightest of Light, it is granted only to the purest of all the Spiritual-Substantiate ones to be able to look into this Light. These are Guardians of the Holy Grail! When it is said in the poetic works that the purest of men are destined to become Guardians of the Grail, this is a point which the blessed poet has made all too earthly, because he was unable to express himself differently.

No human spirit can enter into this hallowed Shrine. Even in its most perfect spiritual substantiality, after returning from its course through the World of Matter, it is still not etherised enough to cross the threshold, thus the boundary. Even in its highest perfection it is still too dense to do so.

A further etherisation for it would have to be equivalent to complete disintegration or combustion, because from its origin its species is not adapted to becoming even more radiant and luminous, hence even more etherised. It cannot bear it.

From time to time on the Day of the Holy Dove, the Dove appears above the Vessel as a renewed token of the unchanging Divine Love of the Father. It is the Hour of Communion, which brings renewal of Power. The Guardians of the Grail receive it in humble devotion, and are then able to pass on this miraculous Power which they have received.

On this depends the existence of the whole Creation!

It is the moment when in the Temple of the Holy Grail the Creator's Love radiantly pours forth to bring new life, a new creative urge which, pulsating downwards, spreads through the whole Universe. With it goes a trembling through all the spheres, a holy awe of joy filled with diving, of great happiness. Only the spirit of earthman still stands aside, without intuitively perceiving what is happening just to him at that moment, what an immeasurable gift he apathetically accepts, because his self-restriction in the intellect no longer allows him to grasp such greatness.

It is the moment of life-supply for the whole Creation!

The constant, necessary recurrence of a ratification of the Covenant which the Creator keeps with His Work. Should this supply ever be cut off, should it fail to appear, then all that exists would slowly have to wither, grow old and decay. Then would come the end of all days, and only God Himself would remain, as it was in the beginning! Because He alone is Life

Man should cease to regard the Holy Grail only as something intangible; for it really exists! But the human spirit, owing to its nature, is denied the possibility of ever beholding it. Yet the blessing that streams forth from it, and which can be and also is passed on by the Guardians of the Grail, can be received and enjoyed by the human spirits if they open themselves to it.

In this sense some of the interpretations cannot exactly be called wrong, as long as in their explanations they do not try to draw the Holy Grail itself into them. They are right, and yet again not right.

The appearance of the Dove on the appointed Day of the Holy Dove indicates the sending each time of the Holy Spirit; for this Dove is in close association with Him.

But that is something which the human spirit is only able to grasp figuratively, because by the nature of things the human spirit at its highest development can in reality only think, know and perceive intuitively up to the point from which it came itself, thus as far as the species that is one with its purest nature of origin. That is the eternal Spiritual Substantiality.

Even in its thinking it will never be able to cross this boundary. Nor can it ever grasp anything beyond it. This is so self-evident, logical and simple that every human being can follow the train of thought.

What is above this, however, will and must for this reason always be and remain a mystery to mankind!

Hence it is also wrong to declare that the human spirit issues from God the Father Himself and returns to Him. The origin of man is Spiritual Substantiality, not Divine Unsubstantiality. Therefore even on attaining perfection, it can only return as far as to Spiritual Substantiality. It is right to say that the human spirit originates in the Kingdom of God and can therefore also, when it becomes perfect, return again into the Kingdom of God, but not to God Himself.

Later there will yet follow detailed lectures about the individual divisions of Creation, which are quite different in their essential nature.

At the highest height of each one of these planes of Creation there is a Grail Castle as the necessary place of transition and power-transmission.

Formed in accordance with the essential nature of the Creation-planes concerned, this is always a replica of the real, highest Grail Castle which stands at the summit of the whole Creation, and which is the Starting-point of the whole Creation through the radiations of Parsifal.

Amfortas was Priest and King in the lowest of these replicas of the Grail Castle, which stands at the summit of the plane of all the human spirits who have developed from spirit seed-grains, thus closest to mankind on earth.

To buy an island is the same as courting a woman, you can never explain exactly why you love her, it's chemistry-something you cannot define-a feeling that you can stay forever

I feel so close to you. You remind me of my mother. Can we have sex soon?

I love you like sunshine, draft beer, and breasts. Big breasts.
