THE WILLEHALM INSTITUTE PRESS FOUNDATION
In 1985, Robert Jan Kelder
founded The Eremos Institute for Grail Research, in Arlesheim, Switzerland. The Institute moved to Amsterdam in
1986, where it changed its name, widened its scope and was commercially registered
as The Willehalm Institute Press Foundation on February 25, 2005.
In 1999,
the Institute published How the Grail Sites Were Found – Wolfram von Eschenbach and the Reality of the Grail by the former
Swiss army officer Werner Greub and presented it in
America, Canada and England. In this
Grail research report it is developed that Wolfram von Eschenbach's
source for his epic poem Willehalm and for his famous Grail romance
Parzival, the ‘legendary’ Master Kyot the Provençal, was none
other than Willehalm himself, historically known as the
Franconian Guillaume d’Orange,
patron saint of the knights and founder of the House of Orange in the South of
France at the end of the 8th century.
The move
from this book to Operation Twins by Slobodan
Mitric, published in 2005, seems far-fetched.
However, The Golden Tip may also serve to
once establish that by helping to end the Cold War and free Europe from the
dangers of nuclear catastrophes, the author has behind the scenes performed in
our times a similar deed done in public by Willehalm, when as the supreme
commander of the Carolingian army defending the Spanish Mark, he prevented the
Christian occident from being trampled over and occupied by the invading
Saracens. Only after the fulfilment of this precondition could on the thus
liberated and safe-guarded Christian soil take place the event known as Parzival’s revolutionary self-enthronement as Master of the
Holy Grail, described by Werner Greub as The Star of Munsalvaesche, a repetition of the Star of Bethlehem. Now
the question is what manner of spiritual power of imagination can establish
itself in a free and reuniting Europe.
This power may be called the renewed Willehalm impulse and this ideal ought
to be the driving force for the management of the Willehalm Foundation.
Three
of the seven statutory objectives of the Willehalm Foundation are:
1. To perform and publish research
concerning the life and work of Willehalm
as, on the one hand, the supreme commander of the Carolingian army in
the Spanish Mark in the 9th century and, on the other hand, after his
retirement from active duty as the spiritus rector of
the Grail events, so as to be able to properly evaluate his hitherto underrated
role in the history of the Christian Occident with respect to matters of
defence and security as well as the themes of spirituality and religion;
2. To perform research in order to
demonstrate how the Willehalm impulse emerged at the beginning of the 20th
century in Central Europe in a new form in the anthroposophy founded by Rudolf
Steiner (1861-1925), also called science of the Grail, with her social
component, the idea of the threefold social organism: freedom in the cultural
life, equality in the rights sphere and brotherhood in the economy. Also known
as social organics: in the form of a science of world economy understood as the
harmonious interaction between the production factors nature, work and capital
to achieve fair, just prices.
3. To
translate, publish, present and further the works of non-anthroposophical
writers and fighter for freedom and justice, who also in the spirit of the
Willehalm impulse are striving to bring to the fore on the one hand the true,
the good and the beautiful in mankind and human society and on the other hand
to expose and withstand the false, the bad and the ugly for what it is, or in
Manichaean sense transform it.
