Award winning philosopher, author and activist Jake Lyron discovers new evidence on the meaning of the chalice symbol drawn from a range of other spiritualities and beliefs - Kabbalah, Taoism, psychology, genetics, Quakerism, Zen Buddhism, the Grail Romances, Greek mythology, Tarot and more. His elegant new theory of the grail as a symbol of receptiveness to truth and love unites science and spirituality with a radical new solution. Jake shows us the links between the Grail symbol and characters from Greek mythology and the Greek alphabet. More symbols are drawn into the exploration - the cup from the Tarot deck, the heart from playing cards and Cupid's arrow. Jake casts new light on the symbolism in Da Vinci's painting The Last Supper, previously overlooked by Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code. Mary Magdalene's role in the story and the concept of the bloodline of Christ are re-examined and false notions corrected.
Jake's scientific background provides him with an objective approach to the Grail mystery. Cutting through a raft of previous nonsensical theories, this new study will make the skeptics pause to think as much as it will please the mystics.
And now, true to the legend that the Grail is available to all, Jake offers the Grail to the world through this book. As a spiritual leader, Jake shows us how the lost spirituality of the Holy Grail is relevant to all of our lives - for our relationships, for war and peace, for the environment, poverty and the unity of mankind.
Jake maintains his reputation as a writer of great depth and discipline with new ideas which will challenge us to have different lives.
