JWK: MJL #10 - Of the Holy Grail

Johan Willem Kaiser - The Mysteries of Jesus in our Lives - Chapter 10

The saga of the Grail appears suddenly at the end of the twelfth century. It is the flower that opened from the soul of mankind as a response to the Pisces-Virgo era. Just like Gothic art, this flower opened around the middle of this era.

When recognized as such, the saga reveals its true meaning, as the Life symbolism of this era; as highest fulfilment of Life in the circumstances at hand. With the Spring equinox in Pisces the password for the highest realization of life had become: self-sacrifice, dying and being born in de-limitation of the self, by orientation towards the universal well-being. With that the secret of life took the form of the Pure Receptiveness, the Mother-Virgin. The caricature of this premise is of course chaotic contamination of the self and direct, not resulting but chased after Reception of the Divine. And therefore what we see unsurprisingly is the most shameless veneration of Mary, which starts to usurp the veneration of the Christ around the same time. A veneration which apparently is being nourished by the forced turning away of sexual life. A sublimation, which barely merits being called sublimation.
