A Brief History and Objectives of

The Willehalm Institute Press Foundation

(based on slightly updated excerpts from its legal charter)

 

The Willehalm Foundation  for Anthroposophy as Grail Research, Royal Art and Social Organics can refer to a several feats of arms in its more than twenty years of existence since it was founded in 1985 in Switzerland and moved to Amsterdam in 1986, where it was commercially registered as such on February 25, 2005. 

In 1999, it translated and published the book How The Grail Sites Were Found – Wolfram von Eschenbach and the Reality of the Grail by the former Swiss Grail researcher and army officer Werner Greub 1907-1997), which was presented in America (Upstate New York), Canada (Montreal) and England (London).  Part I of this Grail research report develops step by step that Wolfram von Eschenbach's source for his epic poem Willehalm as well as for his so-called Grail romance Parzival, the ‘legendary’ Master Kyot the Provençal, was none other than Willehalm, historically known as the medieval Franconian Guillaume d’Orange, paladin of Charlemagne, patron saint of the knights  and founder of the original House of Orange in the South of France at the end of the 8th century. With the same Swiss precision and solid reasoning the second part of this Grail research report then establishes on the basis of the original Middle High German version an amazingly detailed  Parzival geography with as its central point the location of the Grail castle Munsalvaesche in de Arlesheim Hermitage, an ancient Celtic holy site, near Basle, Switzerland.  This first part was afterwards published under the title Willehalm-Kyot in a Dutch translation and presented on February 2, 2002 in the Old Church in Amsterdam as a marriage present to the present Dutch crown prince William-Alexander and his bride (in absentia). The second part Parzival is appearing simultaneously with this publication on May 18, 2008. Also appearing on this date on the occasion of the World Book Market in Amsterdam is a Dutch version of The Just Price – World Economy as Social Organics by the German anthroposophist and philosopher Herbert Witzenmann (1905 – 1988), which is a guide to realizing the Grail impulse for the 21st century: transforming the so-called invisible hand that holds the scepter over an ‘unholy’ world economy into a righteous one by ‘resurrecting’ and realizing the medieval concept of ‘just price’ through economic associations. 

 

From this to Operation Twins seems indeed a big, even far-fetched step. However, this book may serve to once prove that by helping to free Europe during the Cold War period from the dangers of nuclear catastrophes, its author  has secretly performed in our present times a similar deed as did Willehalm more openly in his time (the 8th and 9th centuries), 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 through the fulfilment of this necessary precondition could thereafter on the thus liberated or safe-guarded Christian soil take place the historic events known as Parzivals  revolutionary self-enthronment as King or Master of the Holy Grail known as the great miracle of the Star of Munsalvaesche. 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 stated 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 and, on the other hand, as the assumed Spiritus Rector of the Grail events in the 9th century, so as to be able to properly evaluate his hitherto underrated role in the development 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 or social organics: a new science of world economy as the harmonious, guided 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 freedom fighters, 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.

 

I hope that the reader with some measure of goodwill has come to understand that the publication of Operation Twins  does justice to the above-mentioned objectives and that the renewed call made by the author and publisher for supporting this publication and the remainder of the trilogy will be heeded. Further books by the same author are in the make, such as Confessions of a Disgruntled Spy, and the forthcoming  The Golden Tip, which is a sort sequel to what some regards as Mitric’s masterpiece Nederland’s Maffia and which shows even more conclusively the entanglement between the over- and underworld.
