Why can't I buy the 1931 edition of the Grail Message or the Resonances to the Grail Message in your shop?

The non-profit status Grail Message Foundation is the central point for the dissemination of Abd-ru-shin's main work "In the Light of Truth - The Grail Message".

The Grail Message Foundation exclusively disseminates the final edition authorised by the author himself ("Ausgabe letzer Hand") of the work "In the Light of Truth – The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin.

In his last years on earth, the author undertook revision and restructuring of the Grail Message and only this edition should be circulated.

The Grail Message Foundation is obligated to comply with this express wish of the author – as was made public by Maria Bernhardt and Irmingard Bernhardt.
