Like a bolt from the blue: Behold, I make all things new

  

the pearl of great price

Your pineal gland is your metamorphosed heart from your last incarnation, and is the seed of your next incarnation.

  

Rudolf Steiner:  "For someone who really desires to undergo a kind of initiation it is certainly necessary to develop an impartiality which enables him to take everything he sees as something entirely new, however many prejudices his soul might previously have harboured in that respect. Everything must be treated as though it had arrived like a bolt from the blue. For it is a special characteristic of the spiritual world that we have to win it afresh at every moment if we desire to enter it."
