The Quest for the Holy Grail has been the subject of innumerable books, essays, movies, scholarly papers, and assorted other treatments since its formal delineation in the twelfth century AD; its popularity has not diminished one bit in almost 800 years. It is an utterly fascinating subject with something for everyone! There are kings and queens; there is loyalty and betrayal; there are gallant knights coming to the rescue of damsels in distress; evil monsters; cryptic clues to an elusive mystery that can "save the world;" and a whole host of major and minor characters sure to excite the senses, delight the mind, and feed the soul!

When one seriously begins to examine all of this literature, the complicated approaches of the various works and their contradictory results, one tends to hesitate to add anything to so vast a body of erudite composition. There is almost nothing that hasn't been said or written about it from one perspective or another.

The present writer was always attracted to the stories of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. This was only natural, considering my patronymic of birth: Knight. Thus, a great many books on the subject were read and digested at a very early age. But, my general opinion of them was that they were fantasies or children's stories. There was no "real" grail; it was just a pretty tale. They were nice to read and imagine in times of idleness, but I felt that I needed to get about the REAL work of "finding God." I didn't realize that, in a very real sense this is the true nature of the Grail quest.

In any event, I concentrated many years on this "finding God" business. For me it was as essential a thing to do as it was necessary to breathe.

I started in pretty basic ways: believing nothing, testing everything; and over the years I gradually worked my way through the hard sciences to the "soft" sciences to the "para-sciences." I analyzed and categorized everything as I went and, at the "end," I thought I had pretty well run the gamut. My categories were more varied and extensive than those of many people, but they were categories nonetheless - and I was pretty satisfied with them. At the end, I had more or less reconciled myself to never really knowing God except through "mind" - in a sense that is broader than "thinking" and includes transcendant emotional states - and mind was, after all, as far as I could see, the beginning and end point of everything. Cogito ergo sum. And because I think, I feel. That was all we could know.

And that is where matters rested until the events described in Amazing Grace (available from Amazon.com). It was through the interaction with "myself in the future" that the most important clues began to manifest. I will be presenting many of these clues and the discoveries they pointed to as we go along. But just for the moment, let me highlight one of the more interesting "break-throughs."
