FINDING THE HOLY GRAIL

  As seekers whose paths converged in a mystery school, professions in psychology and healers of our childhood wounds, weve long been aware of our own yearnings to experience something mystical, larger than ourselves. Accompanied by a constant, imperceptible feeling that we came from ‘somewhere else, our interactions with friends, clients, students and colleagues indicate that these feelings are not only common but perhaps universal. Virtually every culture has some tradition aimed at satisfying the spiritual quest for the Holy Grail. Some of the most ancient seekers utilized chanting, drumming and hallucinatory plants, while more contemporary ones have turned to meditation, mind-altering drugs and technology. Our experiences have provoked several critical questions. What exactly is the Holy Grail” that so many are seeking What drives this quest Why does finding the Grail seem so elusive Is it possible to get beyond being a seeker and become a finder Historical Perspective Our research reveals that much of the historical record of humanity’s quest for mystical Grail experiences is stored in Sumerian cuneform tables, Egyptian temples, Greco-Roman art and sacred Mesoamerican sites. Virtually all of the art, myths and temples from these ancient cultures contain step-by-step descriptions for having Grail experiences: expansion of consciousness, experiencing unconditional love, interactions with other dimensions, and the attainment of enlightenment. While these information repositories are readily available to us, they were carefully crafted to hide their real meanings from all but the most spiritually advanced. Investigative mythologists such as William Henry have worked to decode these ancient mythical records in an attempt to determine, What exactly is the Holy Grail While the quest for the Holy Grail is an ancient theme, it appeared in the West only around 1180 AD. It is similar to other mythic quests such as Jason and the Argonauts quest for the Golden Fleece, the Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor, and the tale of Cupid and Psyche. While all involve the concept of seeking, it is significant that only the search for the Holy Grail involves human blood. Some legends about the Grail say it was the cup used at the Last Supper and at the crucifixion to collect the blood flowing from Jesus side and later hidden in a castle in Britain. Over the centuries, the location of the castle was forgotten. These events turned into legends about the Grail being hidden in a mysterious castle surrounded by a wasteland and guarded by a custodian known as the Fisher King who suffered from a wound that would not heal. His recovery and the renewal of the blighted lands depended on his finding the Grail. British legends prophesied that the Grail would one day be rediscovered by the best knight in the landthe only man noble enough to make such a perilous journey. Galahad, Lancelot’s son, had a miraculous, though brief, vision of the Grail that set him on his quest. According to legend, he was permitted entry to the Grail Chapel and allowed to gaze on the great cup. His life became complete, and together, Grail and man were lifted to heaven. This illustrates a critical part of the legend: the knight who found the Grail would, like Galahad, become illuminated or self-realized. Unfortunately, the quest for the Holy Grail has become overly identified as an external search, rather than an internal journey of self-mastery. The early Christians with their Grail legends were not the only ones seeking mystical experiences to enlighten them and take them to heaven. Many indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica, particularly the Mayans, believe that center of the Milky Way Galaxy is the universal Source of creational energy, and that this energy begins as sound then becomes light. We have concluded, like the Mesoamericans, that the crux of the quest for the Holy Grail is to attune ourselves with the frequency of Galactic Center so that our soul can reunite with Source. Mesoamerican myths say that our souls originate at Galactic Center and return there between incarnations. Our research suggests that humans have become energetically separated from Source and unity consciousness because of alterations to the vibrational fields of language, color, music and timekeeping that once electromagnetically attuned us with Galactic Center. The impact of these changes on human consciousness has been immense, literally trapping us in duality. Human language, first called Babel, initially served as an avenue for expressing Godliness through the perfection of mathematics. Babel’s literal meaning is gateway to God. The Romans, with the Vatican’s blessing, substituted Latin for Hebrew as the language for sacred texts. Latin, which forms the foundation for many contemporary languages, lacks Hebrew’s mathematical perfection and ability to connect humanity directly to God. Indeed, the only way to recover language’s original sacred purpose, according to Henry, is to use the English language to synthesize and integrate key words and concepts from all languages into something he calls the Language of the Birds. This is one of the names given to the primordial speech considered by many linguists humanity’s Mother Tongue or Babel. Those who can speak this language are said to have command over the elements and are able to perform what appear to be miracles. The Language of the Birds is a vowel-only phonetic code that Henry found woven through many languages. Genetic and linguistic research indicates that the five vowels correspond to the five letters used to represent DNA and RNA: A, C, T, G and U. Initiates of the Language of the Birds who are able to speak or tone these vowels in certain ways know that these sounds permanently activate the DNA of all those who are able and willing to hear these sounds. Perhaps this is the true esoteric meaning of the Biblical phrase for those with ears to hear. Sound healer Jonathan Goldman, who writes about this ancient harmonic language in Healing Sounds, believes that it once allowed humans to communicate telepathically with all of nature’s creations. He theorizes that the Language of the Birds used sound to transmit information, and may be similar to sounds used by dolphins to transmit three-dimensional holographic thought-forms. Color, which as an aspect of light is ultimately an expression of sound, results from combining three primary hues. Today these are red, blue and yellow: the foundation for all modern color schemes. When combined, red, blue and yellow produce a muddy brown. The original primary colors were actually red, green and violet, which combine to produce brilliant white light when projected on a screen. The impact of this dubious change on human consciousness is immense, as it effectively dumbs down our visual perception. Musical sounds or tones were originally attuned to Source and are believed to be the frequencies used by God to create the cosmos in six days. Sacred chants such as the Gregorian contained notes that connected humanity to Source and, as a result, increased health and longevity. Current musical scales lack these six primary frequencies, known together as the Solfeggio Scale, which was only recently rediscovered. One of the Solfeggio notes, known as Mi, is the exact frequency used by genetic engineers to repair DNA. Prior to the rise of the Roman Empire, the first hour of the day began at 6 p.m. rather than at midnight, as shown in this figure found in Dr. Leonard Horowitz’ book, “DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral.”
