IS A CROSSBEARER A SEEKER OF THE TRUTH?

 

Question: 

Is a Crossbearer a seeker of the Truth?

Response:

A Crossbearer is, by nature, a seeker of the Truth. Walking the path of the Grail Message means striving daily to recognize and live in accordance with the Laws of Creation, ever seeking spiritual enlightenment. The Crossbearer’s journey is one of conscious effort—purifying thought, word, and deed to align with the Will of the Creator as revealed by Abd-ru-shin. 

To bear the Cross is to embrace the responsibility of inner transformation, to strive for clarity, and to live in harmony with the unchanging laws that govern existence. In this, the Crossbearer finds not only guidance but also strength in continuously absorbing the Grail Message and adhering to it steadfastly, striving to live aright. 

LIVING IN LINE WITH LOVE, PURITY, AND JUSTICE 

The Crossbearer’s path is inseparable from Love, Purity, and Justice, as these are linked with the Laws of Creation. True seeking is not a passive longing but an active striving, requiring steadfast commitment to these principles in daily life. Love, in its purest form, is free from self-interest, radiating warmth and uplifting all that it touches. Purity ensures clarity in thought and deed, preventing the seeker from being clouded by base desires or material illusions. Justice, as woven into Creation, is not shaped by human opinions but stands firm as the incorruptible Laws of Creation—offering each individual the fruits of his own volition. A Crossbearer who consciously aligns with these pillars draws ever closer to the Truth, living in harmony with the Divine Order. 

THE STAND OF THE GRAIL MESSAGE ON THE CONCEPT OF THE “SEEKER” 

To understand the position of the Grail Message on the concept of a "seeker," reference to the term “Truth-Seeker” is found in the lecture The Conflict, where the author of the Grail Message, in describing the attitude of the intellectuals towards seekers, stated: 

“The unfounded and paltry nature of the attacks is always quite strikingly apparent from the very fact that these are never kept purely objective! They are always a veiled or open defilement of the person of the Truth-seeker. This is done only by someone who is incapable of replying objectively. After all, a seeker for the Truth or a bringer of the Truth does not give himself personally, but he brings what he says. 

The word must be examined, not the person! It is a habit of the intellectuals to seek always to regard the person first, and then to consider whether they can listen to his words.”

CAN A CROSSBEARER COUNT HIMSELF OUT  FROM BEING A SEEKER? 

Can a Crossbearer exclude himself from the proclamations, calls, and exhortations in the Grail Message addressed to seekers? The answer lies in the very words of the Message itself: 

 “I am addressing earnest seekers only.”

– FOR YOUR GUIDANCE! 

“Therefore I once more urgently exhort you, seekers:‘Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure and then, above all, exercise the great power of silence if you wish to ascend.’”

– I-6. SILENCE 

“Everywhere there is night. Yet during the deepest affliction when everything, including what is better, is also in danger of sinking away, at the same time dawn will now break! But the dawn will first bring the travail of a great purification, which is inevitable before the salvation of all serious seekers can begin; for no helping hand can be offered to all those who pursue base ends!”

– I-18. WHAT SEPARATES SO MANY FROM THE LIGHT TODAY? 

These solemn calls in the Grail Message leave no doubt as to whom they are addressed. A Crossbearer cannot disregard the exhortations given to seekers. He is called to earnest striving, inner purity, and the strength to withstand trials and temptations, knowing that purification must precede ascent. The responsibility of a Crossbearer is one of active seeking and unwavering striving—not merely bearing the Cross in name, but bringing it to life through conscious deed.  

CONCLUSION 

Finally, one may ask: A Crossbearer is one who has come to conviction and recognition of Truth as proclaimed in the Grail Message. Can such a person still be called a seeker? My response to this with my present understanding is: Yes, a Crossbearer remains a seeker, but in a higher sense. Recognition of the Truth does not mark the end of seeking; rather, it deepens the responsibility of continuous striving. True conviction in the Grail Message is not a passive state—it is a living, unfolding process that demands ever-greater clarity, purity, and personal transformation. 

A seeker is one who actively strives for deeper understanding and alignment with the Laws of Creation. Even after coming to conviction, the Crossbearer must apply, refine, and embody the Truth in daily life. The author of the Grail Message warns against stand still, emphasizing that spiritual ascent requires constant movement. The moment one believes they have "arrived" and no longer needs to seek, they risk complacency and spiritual decline.

Thus, a Crossbearer is both one who has found and one who must continue to seek—not in uncertainty, helpless and uncertain  groping but in ever-deepening conviction and ever-purer striving.
