Although Eastern Europe has been part of the Christian world for more than a thousand years, its spiritual identity remains a mystery. This mystery, says Sergei Prokofieff, cannot be solved fully without looking behind outer events and seeking spiritual-metahistorical-dimensions of reality. By illuminating the illusion of apparent history, Prokofieff reveals the forces that work to hinder true human progress--the materialistic Brotherhoods of the West and the occult aspects of the Jesuits and Bolshevism. Such adversarial groups have created a "karma of materialism" that the Eastern Slavic peoples have taken upon themselves out of their "exalted willingness for sacrifice."

Sergei Prokofieff shows how, from the earliest times, the future "conscience of humanity" flowed from hidden mystery centers in Hibernia into the Eastern Slavic peoples. Consequently, qualities of "compassion, patience, and willingness for sacrifice" developed in their souls, creating a truly Christian "Grail mood." Despite incalculable suffering--from persecutions of the Mongol hordes to the Bolshevik experiment of the 20th century--this quality has become an unconquerable force.

Will humanity be able to use the present opportunity granted by this sacrifice to fulfill the primary purposes of the present cultural epoch? Can the future mysteries of the Holy Grail be fulfilled?
