Abd-ru-shin’s

civil name was
Oskar Ernst Bernhardt.

During the years 1923 – 1938 he gave lectures
which he later combined into the work

“In the Light of Truth”

He addressed readers of his work with the following words: “In 1927 I have already pointed out that the reader should pay attention only to the word itself and not the bringer. To seriously examine the works and only accept what each one can recognize for himself as true with real conviction is my special advice, because only on such a basis can benefit arise out of it.”
