The Temple and the Grail | Free Book
The Mysteries of the Order of the Templars and the Grail and their
Significance for Our Time
In the popular imagination, the Holy Grail – part of the legendary
romance of King Arthur – belongs to the realm of myth. The Knights
Templar also have a legendary, enigmatic aspect. Despite the immense
volume of historical research available, plausible explanations to the
'mystery' at the core of their practices have yet to be revealed.By
studying these two themes side-by-side and showing their inner
relationship, Veltman reveals valuable new perspectives. On the one
hand he demonstrates that the 'poetic imagination' of the Grail
mystery has its origin in concrete historical events; and on the other
hand, that the true history of the Knights Templar is, essentially,
esoteric.Combining historical research with insights gained from the
work of Rudolf Steiner, Veltman presents an impressive survey of the
subject, beginning with the pre-Christian Mysteries and ending with a
vision of Michaelic Christianity. He analyses the significance of the
holy city of Jerusalem, the Temple of Solomon, the Temple Legend, the
Grail Temple, the Rosicrucians, the Templars' gold, and the fraught
question of evil. In addition, he sketches the continuation or
metamorpho¬sis of the Grail and Temple impulses into the future,
including the critical 'balancing' role of Europe between East and
West. To become effective, this important European task – which, he
says, is continually being thwarted – must be properly understood
within the realm of human consciousness.
