In the last podcast I told you the beginning of the Arthurian legend of Perceval and his quest for the grail, written by the French poet Chrétien de Troyes in the 12thcentury. This story, and others about King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable, were part of an important cultural conversation, a conversation about the rights and authority of the individual. 

Perceval’s quest for the grail is easily understood as a quest for self-realization, and an assertion of the need felt by each and every one of us, to know ourselves, be ourselves, and meet our destiny on our own terms. The right to make such a quest must be claimed over and over again.

Now I want to share the last part of Perceval’s story, about his fateful meeting with the Fisher King. This is an opportunity to consider the larger significance of the personal quest for self-realization, and its importance for our community.
