THE INTERNATIONAL ONLINE MAGAZINE
FOR CONSCIOUS LIVING...

We're in the world, but not of it. The essence of our "being" is non- material, and yet our feet are planted solidly on the ground. This is life: we make choices and experience their consequences and eventually all is brought to light, revealed for us to discover and consider.

Such is GrailWorld... Four times each year, through articles, interviews and images, GrailWorld Online takes another step in the journey towards understanding our place in the world.

IN FOCUS

Through in-depth reports, editorials and interviews with experts from around the world, GrailWorld looks into issues that affect our lives in ways we might not even have dreamed of... and poses questions that lead to epiphanies & "ah-ha!" moments.

"For these are moments only, moments of insight,
And there are reaches to be attained,
A last level of anxiety that melts
In becoming, like miles under the pilgrim's feet."
--John Ashbery

HEALTHY

Complete health goes beyond physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is inextricably linked to the world in a cycle of sustainability. GrailWorld shares the wisdom of today's environmentalists and healers, offering thoughts on what it will take to return to "wholeness."

"A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and who so journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

CREATIVE

Of course, we offer the best in music, art, literature, poetry and drama from around the world. But a "creative spirit" expresses itself through science, business, education and many other disciplines, too. When we say "creative," we don't just mean "art": we mean a manner of being.

" All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life."
-- M.C. Richards

CONNECTED

We are connected in every way imaginable: to each other, to the natural world around us, to the unseen world, and to the Source of all life. We talk about "connection" in all of its many guises.

" Through quantum physics we learned that
everything is interconnected. There are no discrete parts; when you do something to one part, it changes something in another part. Even the act of observing
a phenomenon changes it. Ultimately everything
is affected."
-- Dr. Friedbert Karger, plasmaphysicist,
The Max Planck Institute

AUTHENTIC

How do you know when something or someone is genuine? What does it mean to lead an "authentic life?" We get at the core of questions like these by looking at the big picture... You'll learn about the beauty of different peoples and cultures, the manner of our being, the perspective of years, and the wisdom of the ages.

"Conscience is the authentic voice of God to you."
-- Rutherford B. Hayes

CHILDLIKE

Children look at the world with such curiosity and wonder... They ask the obvious questions, and believe in the miraculous!

Whether you're five or fifty-five, you'll enjoy the wide-eyed openness GrailWorld brings to its stories and articles, delighting the child in us all...

"It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight
all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime
and touching, childlike and of the race of giants."
-- Honoré De Balzac

SPIRITUAL

Spirit is that unseen essence that brings everything to life. For instance, a stone--marble--infused with an artist's passion and vision speaks to us thousands of years later... Spirit never dies. It is universal and the common thread in every story. GrailWorld shares tales of personal journeys, discusses relevant topics from the truth-bringers in all cultures throughout the ages, and we also reprint extended excerpts or even complete texts from little-known, and sometimes well-known, spritual classics.

"The knowledge of Creation, spiritual knowledge,
is the real purport of all life!"
-- Abd-ru-shin.

MINDFUL

"Think ten times," you may have heard… "before speaking or acting..." an exercise in mindfulness that's easier said than done! GrailWorld will help by offering quotations, as well as reviews of books and movies that will inspire you to contemplate life's issues. Send us your comments and questions too. We want to be mindful of you, as well!

"Our everyday mind is distracted, running after whatever calls it, easily obsessed... This mind resists being in the present moment. This is not the mind we are looking for. The ensouled mind knows pure awareness."
-- James Thornton
