3rd May 2015 - The Beginning and the End

Tonight let me start from the End.  And so it ends. As one closes, another opens such that the End is the beginning, and the Beginning is the end.

Merlin speaking to Galahad and Percival:
"You see, arriving in the presence of God is not the end of your quest but the beginning.  You began in innocence, and so shall you end. But this time the innocence is different because you have gained complete knowledge, where as a baby has only feelings."

Merlin to Arthur:
"I have led you into the secret places of your soul, now you must find them again, this time by yourself."

Merlin to Galahad and Percival:
" 'Behold the Grail,' Merlin whispered. 'The unfolding of your quest has led to a vision of the goal - the point of pure light, the diamond essence that burns within your soul.' "
" 'I have led you here out of your innermost desire, but now you must win the true Grail, not just its vision, for yourself.' "
