Lets try this again,

maybe the grail, instead of the completion of the quest, is the structure that existence floats in.
The container and source of what is behind the illusion.

I had this bizarre experience once that involved an astral visit to a temple to undergo one of the initial trials of a buddhist monk,The trial of water.I won't go into the details,but I think that the grail as a model for 'the support for what it contains' can be seen as a model for the Universe.The actual substance,which is spiritually linked to the substance 'water',is part of one of the universes illusions,and that is the existence in this universe of -The Lego of God!.
I think water is but one indicator to me, on a number of fundamental spiritual levels,of the existence in this universe of either : parts of the divine that lie scattered, or aspects of higher dimensional forms of which we are partly made up from.Or both.
Its not that we are the classic Star Trek adage:'Bags of mostly water',but that a part of our consciousness is actually the consciousness of water,which might explain how our consciousness can travel about the body and even across space.The Big Start to the universe is more of a breaking apart of a unity that once existed,for the purposes of either reforming itself,evolving into something else.The human experience is the creation of a universal reintegration of spiritual and psychic forms,in absence of any discernable fluid structures,but with the knowledge of patterns and chaotic models.
The cup contains us.The grail is the universe.Which is why Jesus says,'this is my blood' which is obviously a spiritual metaphor.
Parcival hands a cup of water to King Arthur after having failed to find the grail,but what he hands him,is in itself,exactly what Arthur needed,as well as being a model for the existence of a spiritual elemental destiny.

Pardon my being so crude but the correlation between this Worlds' bloody new cycle and the feminine cycle are all to tempting to pass up. After all, what the Grail is abstractly is materialized in the microcosom in Woman.
