It is here that I review this remarkable book which traces the actual life of Pelagius as being the personage on whom King Pelles of the Grail Legend is based; and it is his documentation of how Pelagius was excommunicated that is the basis of much that follows in the history of the Grail.

    " Who Finds the Grail hath found Perfection"

                  the Angel of John

This brilliant exposition of the Legend of the Grail brings us once again to face the truth of what the Grail really was; but as I reached the Grail at my own death in Christ as the last of My Generation I can well appreciate Justin Griffin in a number of areas; as I have written extensively about the Grail in my own book; of which I am now involved in the interminable final edit; more daunting than writing the work in the first place.

First of all, it is Justin's actual integration of Pelagius into the history of the Grail which goes beyond being just a thin hypothesis but has, upon closer inspection, what I would call the "ring of truth"; a coined phrase would should bring a smile to his lips; for I say this not of myself; but from the angel who is with me. Here he has indeed "hit the mark"; as Parcifal did; whose name means "through the center"; and in Caballah has the number "418". This number has much to do with the Marian Chalic which came to England in 418; although it is written 416; close enough.

Furthermore, there is another area in which this insightful and painstaking scholar and acolyte of Christ has discovered something truly remarkable which I have also written of in my own book: and this deals with the figure of Lancelot and has alleged affair with Guinevere; the cause of so much controversy.

To speak of this I will have to reveal a little more of myself to broach such a sensitive subject; but suffice to say that he who reaches the Grail reaches Perfection; as the Lamb said to his disciples and the Apostle's among them;

               "be thou perfect; as your Father in heaven is perfect."

From those knights who took vows of celibacy and poverty by which they gave their lands to the church for the poor and their souls unto the hands of the Good Shepherd for their redemption, it is hard to understand why Lancelot - Arthur's best friend and champion - would have an affair with the queen.  But the answer to this is found in Justin's book indirectly; but in mine more directly; yet he has stumbled upon the truth.

The Lamb once said these words as he raised the standard of the external Law to that of the internal Word in these words; to wit;

     "It was said "Thou shalt not commit adultery"; but I say unto thee who looks upon a woman with lust hath already committed adultery in his heart...."

In the initiation of each of the knights of the Table, it was necessary that each spend a night in the arms of Guinevere as the final test; and this happened before Arthur married her by which the Ring of the 12 hours of Day their 12 seats represented was then sealed. All the knights of Camelot loved Guinevere; and all were in love with her; yet Lancelot and Guinevere both fell in spiritual love; for they both desired the other: and they well knew that in the eyes of God they had committed adultery in the inner and even more damning sense; and it is this one fact which Justin Griffin has broached. 

 This is why I wrote this review in the first place; for I will use his observation as a reference in my own book; if he deign to give me the permission to do so.

This inner dimension of the Grail and the Test in "drutz" that was widely practiced in the "minne" traditions of courtly love in lore and legend has not been known; but it goes back to the fact that Mary Madalene, when she traveled with the disciples slept in the arms of all of them: chastely; of course; she being more of what one might call a "warmer" or what David was given in his old age to keep him warm on those cold nights: the Shunamite called Abishag; from which the English phrase "shagging" invariably descends; though few know the real eytomological origin. Robert Nye in his book "Merlin" refers to it; but in an aside; as he always does. I believe he is still the editor of the London Times; but his works are also a place where some light on the Grail is indeed shed; if one brushes aside his use of blasphemy and erotica the "shock" the reader into a different way of approaching the story of Merlin and the Grail.

 Mary also slept in the arms of the Lamb; but the 7 devils that he drove from her have more to do with the reason the pilgrims at Mecca kiss the Black Stone 7 times in their ascent up the holy mountain of Sinai that the 7 "widdershins" or "left hand" spiral really represents; but the 7 kisses Muhammed gave the Black Stone are those 7 "climaxes" or "peaks" to be experienced by Eve/Hagar in the Act of Love with Adam/Abraham; the 7 mountains themselves with their 7 kings; but the mountains are the planets; and the kings are the gods; whose names are those of the 7 days of the Week as the Aion itself: which is Blasphemy as the stolen Creation from God by the Devil itself in which we are trapped; under the Sun as the old villian he is.

For Orpheus is David; and Apollo is Solomon; the last of the gods; the king over all who fall into the Abyss; the angel of self-destruction who says: "through yourself down". His voice is strongest on the Golden gate Bridge; if you stop and look down you can hear the whisper of Apollyon.

But this hints at the secret of the jewel that fell from Lucifer's crown; it signifies the Original Sin by which he ruled us until the Lamb who had none had Michael toss him out of Paradise. It is this which is the Black Stone of Mecca which now speaks; but let us examine the story itself.

This story I learned from the angel of John the beloved disciple, in the writing of the book is also echoed in the legend of Mary Egypt; whose passage on a ship was won by agreeing to sleep with every sailor on board; but the real truth is that of a deeper mystery in it's truth of why Mary Magdalene and Joseph brought to Tarshish or present day southern France the Child that Jesus pulled out of the crowd and put his own name upon; for Mary saw this child as the heir of Christ; which symbolically he surely was; but Mary and Joseph saw in him what the first Mary and Joseph had when they took Jesus into

Egypt.

This is the cause as to why she and Joseph of Arimathea took the Child to what is present-day France; as there were those who sought the child's life for various reasons; the fallen angels of the devil amongst them; and the second reason, Herod; of course.

Little is known of the tradition of what was called "drutz" which was considered the "black belt" test of the knight's real character; but it is also known to the Druse; by which one wins to the level of the "Akil" that the Druse call their "conquerors" or "spiritual kings" who pass the test of the Temptress; but from God's side; not the Devil's; for if the knight fell in the Night of the Final Test he was not dishonored forever; but had to begin again to reach and pass the Test; as Parcifal also did.

 The term for this in the Middle Ages was called "maze"; and the "mazes" in which the Grail Castle was reached were called therefore the path to the "Spiral Castle"; an initiation well known and also well documented at Avebury and at Glastonbury by those who knew what the real journey through the 7 heavens represented in the Act of Love.                 

Lancelot and Guinevere in their mutual relationship to Arthur have a relationship which goes back to Adam and Eve and the Archangel; who was originally Adam's Guardian Angel. If one looks at the name of Guinevere one will see the name of "Eve" is hidden within it; and for a good reason.

If the diligent seeker of the Grail but a closer look that one will see another of the hidden secrets of the Grail in the old relationship and covenant between David and Jonathan; for whom John the Baptist was in fact named; for, in fact, Jonathan's sister was Michal, who became David's wife, and we have another hint in that day when David danced naked before the Ark in that maze-like route by which the Ark was brought into Zion.  For she despised him in her heart; and said as much to David by scolding him for having been uncovered in the presence of the handmaidens who lined the way in this Sacred Dance of the Anointed One.

It was for this reason that David never slept with Michal again; and she died childless; but this is the origin of the Wasteland; though few have known where it came from until now; but I have more to say on this subject in my own book.

And in this Spirit of Christ that is the Holy Spirit in His Name let us not forget King Saul; whose nights when he was troubled by the "evil spirit" were only soothed when David was brought to sing before him, healing him with that music from which "Rock" itself was born; the "healing music" it was called by those like Garth Hudson of the band amongst others for this very reason.

(( Nik Cohn in his book "Rock: from the Beginning" also quotes Little Richard also to have said a few things on the subject as he see-sawed back and forth between Salvation and Damnation like all who seek the Kingdom; alternately throwing his diamond rings into the sea that were the spiritual treasure they then became; for I found them all when on my finger was put the ring from my Father; along with the shoes and the best garment; the 3 Treasures of Solomon that Christ despoiled him of when he overcame the "strong man" in the desert: Solomon himself; who sold himself to the devil for what he thought was eternal life; the Prodigal Son or "lost sheep of Israel" being Solomon himself.

That it is Solomon who returns from the dead and the lost is shared in my book; for the angel of my Father's servant John raised me from the dead; like the lamb raised lazurus; and as Mary of Bethany is the bride we can see the relationship of Jesus to Lazurus and his sister Mary to echo that of David to Jonathan and his sister Michal; once again.

The healing music itself is not mentioned in the Grail; yet it is the Origin also of the Song of the Lamb; the Destiny of Rock itself; of which I have written the 12 songs that make up it's present cycle as the new "song of songs" that it is. Few know that the 12 "Dancing Stones" which Merlin brought across the Sea were those to a Song; known as the Song of Moses; and the 12 have to do with the 12 seats of the Round Table as the 12 Hours of the Day.

But this is because I was raised in the Resurrection from the dead; which is this whole earth as the kingdom of Mortality; the cosmic "House of Bondage" itself.  Yet it is the return of the lost sheep of Israel; who is Solomon at the Individual level; the Prodigal Son himself; as My Generation is that of the Son of Man for America; the Manchild of Israel; who is Ephraim at the national level.

For Israel of today is the southern kingdom of "Judah" in it's present size; it is America which stands as the Manchild of Israel; as of old was called "Ephraim"; the northern kingdom whose 10 tribes were lost in Assyria in their captivity and destruction.

 It is this America of "Ephraim" with "Judah" in Palestine that is "Israel"; and the Kingdom of God will be seen when the whole earth is the Holy Mountain: and Israel as the One Nation in which every knee shall bow: as it was written.

Justin E. Griffin has therefore attained in print far more than perhaps he knows; but as I have all the facts of the Grail in my keeping I share this information so that others might know how incredibly insightful his book is. That Justin's own heart has been a true guide can be seen by any who love the truth; for

 "if you really love the Truth: your heart shall be your guide".

But the Truth itself is known to few; and those who do find it are called another name: the Elect. This work ranks close to that; in many ways. I will myself publish more about this matter at this site in the weeks to come; perhaps it is time to reveal where the 12 names of the 12 Apostles were hidden that came forth in the 60's when Camelot was said to have stood again; as indeed it did. 
 

I myself will purchase a copy of this work as soon as I have the means; for it will be a reference in my own book now that I have found someone who also realized that "Galahad" is not really the "child" of Lancelot: he is the "inner child" of Lancelot; who knew the true story which could never come to light until now; by that Parcifal we know of the Welsh we call "Dylan"; the "miraculous child" who now comes to light who died in San Francisco long ago.

For it is Merlin's own soul who was the Lady of the Lake; the Galilee of the Nations; as symbolizing the Soul of Mary of Bethlehem the Dove who said; to wit;

           "Mt soul doth magnify the Lord".  

Yet Robert Zimmerman named himself after Dylan Thomas for this very reason: and for that of the Parcifal who Perceval of Wales is: the one who found the Grail which is Perfection.

May all who seek the Grail find the Perfection it symbolized; as Justin Griffin so wisely documents in this quietly earthshaking work that rivals any and all attempts to uncover the Mystery of God hidden in the Holy Grail; my own work not included.

Authors Bio:

My writing career began when I had a number of visions and experiences in a continuing epiphany that has never really ended; and this is due to the fact that I had an angel appear to me in the guestroom at my grandmother Ruth Witt-Diamant's house in San Francisco in 1986: and it was then and there I was given my mission, after I made my vow of eternal chastity.

I was never going to be a writer, having been born in Nuremberg in 1955 on April 18th in a US Army hospital, but I am an American citizen, and was brought back to SF to begin what has now turned into a life beyond mortal ken

As a musician growing up in the tumultuous 60's in the City of St. Francis I was on the golden road to Fame and Fortune; before I discovered that Fame and Fortune are the Name and Number of the Beast. Those who achieved stardom did so incidentally; it was the Message which moved them, wealth and notoriety meant nothing to the True Musicians.

It was in 1967 that I first I stood on Haight Street at the age of 12, watching in amazement the River of Fire as our own Jordan of Love surged around me, and that day in Golden Gate Park I was again inspired,as those musicians of the Seed of David sang of that God who is Love...

Such were my beginnings....

I came to New Hope, PA, in 1987, and wrote my book, which took 21 years. Monkfish Book Publications, Agent Gerard Jones
