HE WHO SERIOUSLY and therefore honestly seeks the Truth must first cleanse himself completely within.
That is to say, he must empty of all that he has so far learned and read, putting it completely aside,
as well as shutting out every person; and then he must intuitively experience the "Word" quietly within himself,
like a child standing before something new. Not for nothing does man often find in children the most unerring
judgement of things and people, because they face everything impartially and innocently.
It sounds easy, but it is actually the hardest thing for the man of today. There is no greater obstacle for him than just this.
And since I demand serious seeking as the basic condition for being able to absorb the intrinsic contents of the Grail Message,
I therewith make on man the greatest demand that can ever be made on him. Thus I simultaneously and quite definitely exclude
from the outset all those who pride themselves on their own knowledge. A sifting, by which only the humble can receive the palm
of true recognition in logical reciprocal action, while others leave empty-handed.
To recognize all this intellectually will be reserved, with a few exceptions, solely for the new generation which will
survive the present time; for only the purified intellect, which has been forcibly cleansed of all the dross of the present
errors and vanities through experiencing, will bring the uninfluenced potentiality necessary to grasp it!
This new generation, however, is not to be expected in centuries to come, but is already living, and will become new
only because the various ages who belong to it will emerge purified from the wheels and stones of the mills that even now are
beginning to grind! While others will be crushed in them.
Such a serious seeker will not look for alliances, he will not join any sects nor feel the urge to unite with others.
He will inwardly digest everything by himself, since no one else is able to help him do so. Only in this way will it become alive
within him and be his possession, which he cannot share with others.
