In the castle of the Grail, every night there is a ceremony of solemn character . While this wonderful cult is taking place, the Fisher King is lying on a bunk enduring his pain . All his guests enjoy the Grail wine, except the Fisher King who is wounded in his bed, and cannot drink from it . This impossibility of drinking Grail wine is the worst deprivation that can exist, since it is incapable of tasting beauty and holiness even when you have them right there to enjoy them. All are served, except the Grail King, the wounded King. All its members are aware that their King is the object of Grail deprivation.
This great deprivation of the wounded King Fisher means that if our inner capacity is hurt, no external effort can change it . In this principle lies the meaning of the wound of the King.
Taking the example of Jonhson R. “How many times have women told their man: <
How does the fisherman's king's wound heal, that is, the wound of any man?
The cure of the King will take place when an innocent fool arrives at the court and asks the King a certain question . This was prophesied a long time ago by a court jester . If we start thinking, there are many traditions that put the salvation or healing of our deepest wound in the hands of those who least expect it. That is to say, it will be in charge of that person whose aspect of “fool” will distract us from his healing gifts.
What does this mean?
This myth wants us to teach that the most naive part of man will be the part that will heal and heal that deep wound of King Fisher.
So how does a fisherman king's wound heal?
What the legend suggests is that in order for a man to heal his King Fisher's wound he has to look back, he has to dive into his teenage years, when he was a fool, and find the moment in which He was injured . It is essential that man allows his consciousness to let in something different and that it changes it . In other words, if the man continues with his King Fisher mentality, his wound will never heal . But nevertheless, if that man is allowed to travel towards his youth where he acted as a naive and silly young man, he will be able to find the medicine that will definitely heal his wound.
If you do not become like a child, you will not be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Following the story of the myth, we will go on to tell the story of a humble and naive child who will be the one to heal the Fisher King.
This young native of Wales, Nazareth, is so humble that he does not even have a name when he first appears, later he is named as Parsifal, a word that means innocent fool . The deepest meaning of that name is the one that joins opposites predicting its role as a healer. Who would have thought that a naive and humble young man would be the hero to cure the Fisher King?
With this the myth is meant to denote that the exoneration or redemption of man will come from the least thoughtful place . In other words, it means that for King Fisher's wound to heal, one will have to go through an experience that teaches about humility.
Parsifal is an orphan father child, so he has been raised by his mother, called Pena del Corazón. He has no brothers or brothers, he knows nothing about his father's death or anything that has to do with him. Parsifal has been raised in a primitive way, he is a peasant, he has not gone to school, nor did he receive instruction of any kind, he wears simple clothes and does not ask questions.
A day like any other, at the beginning in his teens Parsifal was playing outside when suddenly five gentlemen arrived riding with his impressive clothing and equipment. Parsifal was stunned, he had never seen anything like that. This young man ran home to tell his mother that he had seen five gods, and that he wanted to join them.
His mother, seeing that he could not convince him to stay, since if he undertook such a trip with those men, he would be following in the footsteps of his father, who had been a knight and had found death in a very absurd and silly way, so that Parsifal's mother began to cry. At that time Pena del Corazón, his mother, tells his son that his father had been a gentleman and had died while rescuing a beautiful maiden. His two brothers had also been knights and had also died. This is why his mother had taken Parsifal to the farthest place he could find to raise him and protect him from the same fate his father and brothers had.
Pena del Corazón gave his blessing and left Parsifal free, without his protection. And he gives him a simple garment that he has woven for him, and advises him to respect beautiful women and the urgency to not ask too many questions . This is all the legacy left by his mother to Parsifal.
This is how Parsifal embarks on his path in search of the knights. On his way he crosses paths with people to whom he asks Where are the five gentlemen?
Thus he went on a long road full of feats and teachings, typical of every young man who faces the real world. This is how much walking comes to the Grail Castle. This act of entering the King Fisherman's castle is very dangerous, since it means the passage from the outside, ordinary world, current to the imaginary, symbolic world, to the Grail castle.
Parsifal is in the celebration of the great castle, where four maidens attend to him, and one of them takes him with the Fisher King, who apologizes for not being able to get up from his berth since he is badly injured. " Within the framework of such greatness, we understand that Parsifal has encountered the inner world, the place of the spirit, the place of transformation ... In the Grail castle there is the possibility of receiving gifts but Parsifal does not pass the necessary test." A teacher that Parsifal had met along the way taught him many things about cavalry, etc. and within those lessons I indicate that in front of the Grail I should ask a certain question in order to be worthy of his munificence. But Parsifal preferred to remain with the advice of his mother who told him not to ask many questions, so this young fool remained silent before the splendor of the wonderful Grail castle. “ It is understandable that a sixteen-year-old farmer does not have the strength or courage to ask the most important question of life at that time . For that, I should have been aware . ”
In this history of the Grail Castle, the most crucial moment of our inner life is symbolically expressed . “ All the young people come awkwardly to the Grail castle at some time around fifteen or sixteen and have a vision that determines much of the rest of their life . As a Parsifal, they are not prepared for it and do not have the capacity to ask the question that would make the experience within them conscious and stable . You cannot expect young people to do anything other than reach the castle, feel overwhelmed by it and, the next morning, find themselves again in the same ordinary world ... Most men remember a magical half hour in their youth in the that the whole world shone and showed its beauty difficult to describe ” . Many relegate this event to oblivion, but many others, like Parsifal, will spend their lives searching for the Grail castle again.
