1931-1938: Reverberations of the Grail Message, periodical “Die Stimme”

Chapter 03

After the publishing of the large edition of the Grail Message in the year 1931 – so called in contrast to the small edition of 1926, – 59 serialised individual lectures were published up to 1934.

These 59 individual lectures were compiled by him along with the lecture Unsubstantiate and the epilogue How the Message is to be absorbed, as the work Reverberations of the Grail Message Volume I, and published in this form also by the publishing company Der Ruf LLC, Munich, in 1934. (Table of Contents in the annex)

The sequence of lectures in the Reverberations of the Grail Message Volume I also deviated from the sequence of the previous publishing as individual lectures. For example, at the beginning of this edition, there was the lecture The Holy Word, which had previously been published as an individual lecture with the serial number 25. Also some individual lectures were given new titles, for example, The White Knight as The Necessary Balance, Christmas 1932 as The Star of Bethlehem, On 30 December 1932 as A New Law, Good Friday 1933 as It is finished! As well as Easter 1933 as Let Easter arise within you!

A further 38 individual lectures (Nos. 60–97) were published as such between 1934 and 1937, and were available for purchase. They were published by Der Ruf publishing company LLC, Munich, and later on by a self-publishing organisation on Vomperberg: the Maria Bernhardt publishing company, Vomperberg.

Abd-ru-shin had already released some of these lectures, duplicated in the form in which he had originally dictated them, before assigning to the second revised version the same serial number for dissemination. The lectures The Primordial Spiritual Planes I to VII were previously released under the title The Spiritual Planes I to VII. For example, the first reading of the lecture The Spiritual Planes V took place on 22 April 1935 and it was released in this version shortly thereafter. The revised version, entitled The Primordial Spiritual Planes V, was released in 1936/37.

Lecture No. 73, Easter 1935, was released by Abd-ru-shin under the title The Book of Life, and lecture No. 80, Pentecost 1935, under the title The Living Word.

There also followed the still unnumbered individual lectures Pentecost, Everything must become New! and The Mountain of Salvation.

The author may have originally planned to compile a second volume of Reverberations of the Grail Message from these individual lectures. As a result of both the historical and the spiritual development, this never happened. Should such an edition of Reverberations of the Grail Message Volume II currently be in circulation, there is no way that it could it be authentic.

The increasing publishing difficulties of Der Ruf publishing company LLC., Munich, due to the ever-increasing pressure of the National Socialist regime, caused Abd-ru-shin to publish ten further lectures and Questions and Answers in the year 1937 in the magazine Die Stimme (The Voice) issued by Die Stimme publishing company AG, Zurich.
