“The woman dies. She is dead. She must die in order to return to life. She is the warrior’s companion, existing only in his mind, in his spirit. Only with the memory of his beloved in his heart can the initiate achieve the Grail.” - Miguel Serrano. Nos: Book of the Resurrection
"The land of the Grail trembles, I tremble, No other light can compare with the light of the Grail".
"He who has foreseen it or dreamed it is lost to this world. Because the Grail is the driving force behind every enterprise".
"It is at the origin of the war we are fighting. Once we stepped on to the road which leads to the city where the Grail is kept, it would have been better to never embarked on this enterprise then to abandon it"
Nos: Book of the Resurrection (translated, from the Spanish Nos: Libro de la Resurrección, in collaboration with the author by Gela Jacobson) is a book by Chilean diplomat Miguel Serrano. The author states in the introduction: "it is neither a poem, nor a novel, nor a philosophical essay, although it contains a little of each of these."
Depiction of Lucifer and identifications
In it Lucifer is defined as he "whom others have called" Apollo, Abraxas, Shiva, and Quetzalcoatl, also Odin-Wotan (and to the Cathars, Luci-Bel). "He came down from the Morning Star, Venus." As leader of the losing side of a stellar battle, he descended to the North Pole where he founded Ultima Thule, the capital of Hyperborea. The Grail is identified as having been a jewel which fell from his crown (broken by the sword of the enemy during his battle in the heavens). "He is the God of the Defeated Ones in the Kaliyuga" and "the supreme Guide of the Pilgrims of the Dawn" who will be the victor "when the Golden Age returns."
