"I sometimes think that now, in our day, the Grail Quest has been
reinaugurated.... This time the difference is, it isn't only men who will ride out."
___John Moriarty, "Turtle Was Gone a Long Time"
In an era when the Wasteland spoken of in the Grail legends seems an ever-present possibility, the time is dawning when all beings who are attuned to the well-being of life must step forward to be the questers of this generation: to go seek and find the Grail, to bring its gifts of spiritually restorative for different people, this may be different things. What is the quest today, and who becomes a quester? The quest is the solutions that embrace all levels of existence - not the material would only, but also the otherworld whose spiritual impulse beats beneath the pulse of the manifest world. The questers are drawn from all walks of life, men and women of all generations who long with all their hearts for the world and all that is in it to be healed, whole, and in harmony. They are not idealists who simply meditate and dream, they are strivers who long for this restoration more than they love their own lives, who are willing to endanger themselves. They are rising up now in every land, working in a variety of ways, but always keenly aware of how important is the reconnection of our own world with the other. The Grail itself is a bridge that links both worlds and that, by the agency of the questers, is able to dispense its healing to those places that need it most. This healing is the living currency of the otherworld, streaming between the worlds in a flood of creative ideas, technological solutions, and more mature ways of living. This quest awaits all who feel the world's pain as their own.
"Where is the Grail in your spiritual quest?"
