At moments in our youth, one may have a dream, an image of the future and decide or, perhaps be steered by someone, to learn to play a musical instrument or towards taking up a sport. In the same vein, we may grow up sharing the various beliefs and outlook of our parents, family or other mentors. However, just as our future plans and visions may change from time to time, so at some point, especially in the zeal of emergent self-consciousness during adolescence, we may, in the light of our fresh adulthood, begin to seriously scrutinise the tenets of the religious and political perspectives we embraced in our youth. Or so the urge within us directs. However, if we do not, the emergent mind’s outlook is liable to narrow…

A warning sign of a society that finds itself in a serious spiritual bind is the rapid spread of all possible and impossible conspiracy theories. Hardly any subject, no matter how grotesque, is exempt from an epidemic of misinformation. Current developments, but also in some cases scientific findings that are centuries old, are ignored by a whole host of people within weeks and ‘alternative facts’ are accepted, be it the ‘fake’ moon landing, the collapse of the World Trade Centre (9/11), chemtrails from airplanes, denial of the overheating of the earth, including the effects of greenhouse gases, COVID-19 myths, right up to the claim that the earth is flat and that the politicians who govern us are in reality reptilians in disguise, and much more – really nothing is absurd…

Paul Schmitt A full-time clarinetist in an orchestra, Paul Schmitt’s lifelong quest to discover answers to seemingly unanswerable questions about human origin and existence, how the order of the world is organised, whether the cosmos arose by ‘chance’ or whether it was created and is enlivened by a higher power, whether man is a ‘biochemical machine’ leading a more or less meaningless and irresponsible existence, or whether we all have a destiny to be fulfilled that follows a higher order and meaning, led him on his spiritual path to the work In the Light of Truth – The Grail Message, which holds knowledge that goes beyond humanity's current level of understanding.…

Are we human beings, especially here in the ‘civilised world’, not masters at reinterpreting the truth? Do we not see everything that burdens us as a short, temporary phase on the way to boundless freedom and domination of our planet, which we already see as a fait accompli except for a few minor difficulties, the overcoming of which is only a matter of time? Thus are we not fully convinced that we can successfully tackle any problems and adversities that try to stand in the way of our expansionist drive, by using our intelligence and technology? And do we not finally tinker with nanotechnology, high-tech and chemical medicines as well as genetic engineering in seeking to ‘improve’ the perceived imperfections in nature, so that our final victory over the seemingly…

THE THREE VOLUMES of In the Light of Truth contain a total of 168 lectures whose contents, building upon one another, give a picture of Creation in entirety. The Author’s all-embracing view is based on well-known natural laws, which reveal the hidden connections of our existence and offer valuable guidance for the journey through life. The lectures assembled in these three volumes were written and developed by the Author, Abd-ru-shin, between the years 1923 and 1938. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? The Work In the Light of Truth is known throughout the world for its conclusive answers to the great questions of humanity, such as the meaning of life, justice, fate and why we live after death.
