Upon This Rock




Matthew 16:17-19

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.


Rudolf Steiner: 


"Human evolution is a downward descent from the Universal One to separation; and then a stepwise ascent in conscious freedom to knowledge of one's connection to the universal. For this reason, seen from the mental plane, for human beings a dead stone is a model of higher life. In the stone the entire context and cosmic connections are still preserved; the causal law alone is at work in a stone. The external world provides the cause for the stone's movement. The stone extends from the mental plane into the physical because its pure thought resides serenely in it. Thus the Sun, which is at home as the physical image of the Logos in the mental plane, and the entire mineral kingdom are to be seen as a great laboratory for physical and chemical forces."
