The Quest of the Holy Grail, the Search for the Stone of the Philosophersby whatever name we choose to call the

Great Workis therefore endless. Success only opens up new avenues of brilliant possibility. Yea, verily, and Amen!the task is tireless and its joys without bounds; for the whole Universe, and all that in it is, what is it but the infinite

playground of the Crowned and Conquering Child, of the insatiable, the innocent, the ever-rejoicing Heir of Space and

Eternity, whose name is MAN?

Let not this trouble you, Momus, said Isis, since fate has ordained a vicissitude of darkness and light. But the worst of

it is, said Momus, that they hold it for certain that they are in the light. And Isis replied that darkness would not be

darkness to them, if they knew it.

- Giordano Bruno, Spaccio della bestia trionfante

Netherisers intimations:

I

Everyone has their own personal truth that happened already in the past. This Truth is revealed for the first time at the

moment the individual comes to life. His bond with the Absolute is close and strong then. Yet with age, by degrees,

the said relation starts to disperse. He forgets about it, drifting apart from the moment when the Absolute was at its

greatest and purest form. Increasingly, his ability to unravel his own mystery of life by retaining communion with the

One starts to vanish. He can, however, regain his contact with the Eternal Light. This can be achieved by seeking for

the vestiges of the divine that are present within the places his soul was particularly entwined with during his

childhood, for instance. Thus, by means of contemplation on those places and on particular moments of epiphany thattook place within their framework, one can restore his connection to the Truth and feel immortal. Those moments of

epiphany were experienced either unconsciously or consciously, and they are later fully realised by spiritual

involvement towards the individuals memories.

II

Our understanding of the Absolute is suppressed by different conceptions which make us think of it as a personified

law-giver and judge. The pantheistic perspective, on the other hand, which consists in perceiving the Absolute

holistically as the One who can be described by each element which our reality consists of, gives us a deeper

comprehension of its extension, that is infinity, within our mind. Moreover, it is useless to attach any characteristics

such as good or bad to the Absolute, for he falls out of such simplistic classifications. It just is and reaches beyond any

human principles. We should constantly seek for different perspectives and for a means by which we could mount up

to the next perspectives being set higher than the previous ones. Thus, we will be able to ascend higher and higher

towards the Absolute. Yet it is important to be conscious of that that the Great Work is hence endless and ever-

evolving.

Alone and devious from afar he came;And, with a sudden influx overpowered

At sight of this seclusion, he forgotHis haste, for hasty had his footsteps beenAs boyish his pursuits; and sighing said,

"What happy fortune were it here to live!And, if a thought of dying, if a thought

Of mortal separation, could intrudeWith paradise before him, here to die!"

- William Wordsworth, The Recluse
