HallowQuest lesson 30 - The Grail Realm

[PathWalker]

This set of lessons - connected with the Grail realm, could well be begun at the Autumn Equinox, but if like me you're lagging, don't give up if you don't hit the dates suggested in the book. Just keeping going is the most important thing I think.

 

So in this first lesson of the Grail realm we look at Grail Ten - the Grail castle by the sea, with some discussion about the connection between the time of year and the Grail suit. There are three questions, and then a meditation of entering and exploring the Castle.

 

Then you'll find the ceremony for Grail Hallow. There is a ceremony for each Hallow as we come to their suit.These are very ritualized, but if they don't chime with your own spiritual path I'm sure they could be altered to suit you, but still help you align to and acknowledge the energy of the suit emblem.Do feel free to discuss and comment on any of my interpretations on this.  :)

Lesson 30 - October 20th 2014 - gales and dark of moon.

 

I've never kept up with the timetable for this Quest, but feel that continuing to plod along is better than giving up. But the Grail suit has been the hardest for me, and I've broken off several times during this set of lessons. But in encouragement of anyone else who may do this one day, I'm posting about my halting steps :)

 

Questions for lesson 30

 

1. What vision of wholeness and completion calls to you at this time?

 

I feel rather selfish that all the things that spring first to mind are personal. I’m wanting to get the decorating of the two newly-empty rooms finished, so as to finally feel the upstairs is sorted how I wanted it. I’d like to get a couple of straight-forward textile projects finished, to clear the way to work on other more challenging things. I’d like to be able to work in the garden, getting everything put as it should be for winter.

In world terms, I really want to see the day when Ebola infection numbers start to drop, and when vaccines and treatments start to save the lives of those most at risk.

 

2.  Call to mind the people who make you feel content and peaceful in your life: what qualities do they intrinsically manifest?

 

Qualities of love or affection for me, humour, gentleness and kindness, wisdom.

 

3.  What factors make you feel spiritually “at home”?

 

An open attitude to spiritual beliefs. A place that doesn’t try to have each and every brand new gadget. Plain acceptance of my vegetarianism. A place where people are more important than things.

Meditation

 

I'm not going to post my mediation notes here, it was very personal and emotionally difficult. But I would say it took me three attempts to complete this one, and I found it hard but enlightening. It sums up my whole overview - that the Quest is a lifetime journey, a particular way of seeing your spiritual path. Of course other folks might feel completely different, and the more people who gradually work on this and write and comment on these pages, the more wel will learn from each other  :)

 

Blessings to all
