Dear Mr. Whitmore, It was your own choice to make this "book report" on the Grail Message, and others' choice to heed or to ignore your opinions. For those who you have suceeded in influencing, you shall bear the responsibility. What I say to you is this: you have understood little if anything of the Grail Message, described it very poorly and superficially, and done grave injustice to "In the Light of Truth" all around. I feel sorry for you, but I can do nothing to help you other than to attempt to correct the extremely poor impressions you have given about it. Almost everything you have said about the Grail Message is flat wrong. It is much more of a reflection upon you than upon the Grail Message. At this point, I would most seriously advise you to retract your statements about the Grail Message, and admit to people that you know nothing essentially about it, and to forget your words. If you want to find peace in your heart. I have said it before, and I'll say it once again: Those who seriously and objectively seek the answers to the great spiritual questions in life may want to consider examining the Grail Message as the value of the vast knowledge which it mediates to the human spirit. The Grail Message speaks solely to earnest seekers, all others should hold aloof. For their own good. If you are content with the Bible, and the existing interpretations thereof, then by all means, please stick with the Bible. And for Mr. Whitmore's sake, please ignore his childish effort to report on what he does not know. He himself will one day be grateful that his words died out without bad effects.
