32. The Grail was a cup that was used to slake the thirst of the crucified God.

When the son of god was speared through his heart some of the sacred blood ran into the grail,forever staining it and granting anyone having a virtuous heart who drank from it,immortality.
Today there are knights of commerce who seek the grail and immortality of a kind,but a false golden cup which is loaded with cash and stained with the blood of impoverished children,who every single day,die of complications due to a condition called poverty.

They contend that this way is just and proper,because the lord singled them out to have dominion over the earth and everything(Everyone)within it.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

This is a vital cornerstone of christianity,found on the first page of the first book which was written by moses in the torah and much later adopted at the council of nicaea for the bible in what is now called genesis in the old testament.
Moses set himself up to be the chosen one just as the uber-priveleged do today and who give charter to what was supposed to be a democracy of by and for the people.

Moses destroyed the so called commandments of god with the golden calf and we only have his word as to what actually happened on the mountain top.
In Arturian legend,a simple boy is chosen by god to lead the world to christianity after the fall of the western empires.
Arthur needed the grail so that he might rule eternally but his heart was made weary and so he abdicated.
Legend has it that one day,Arthur will return to rule again.

Today an empire is in sunset,the wealthiest,healthiest,happiest,productive and educated nation that the world has ever seen is slipping into decay just like every empire which came before it.
It is easy to say"oh they all got to be too big and the logistics were just too great an obstacle to overcome!".
But this is not quite the truth of it,now is it?
We ignore this at our own peril.
When material things become so important that wealth is needed to crush those who have none,that is the turning point where the foundations of empire,crumble.

At the end of the day,people are the only real treasure.
Not Money and not some eternal real estate giveaway in a bronze age fantasy.
After we depart this life,we live through those who come after us and believe me,they will judge us by what we do,right now.
