The mineral kingdom holds the crystallized thoughts of the Cosmos – it is the realm in which the eternal speaks thru physical form – an expression of the Divine Creative Word - the Prima Materia made manifest - & it is the foundation on which the human will builds itself - an anchor of hope & steadfastness – the foundation for Spirit & matter. This first week of Advent is a stepping-stone, giving us the opportunity to contemplate & configure this foundation - as we live into how the physical mineral world inspires a soulful relation in the building up of our powers of strength & service – carving out a grounded, reflective inner stability - a steady, firm foundation for our transformation. The inner work of Advent lays a cornerstone upon which the structure of our spiritual life can rise to meet the Christ light.
“As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight, / you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. / For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” ~1 Peter 2:4-6 In ‘Signs and Symbols of the Christmas Festival’ GA 90a, Birth of the Light’, Rudolf Steiner describes how Advent is a recapitulation of the past 4 cultural epochs in our human evolutions (Indian, Persian, Chaldean, Greco-Roman) connected with the evolution of the entire Universe – moving from: Unity to Duality, into the reality of The Trinity &, ultimately, to the Birth of Christ in the human soul. “Each Advent is an opportunity to re-live, in miniature, the great drama of humanity’s spiritual evolution. It begins in the depths of the mineral realm with the stone, and ascends through the realms of life, to meet the Divine.” During the Advent-tide we lay the Christic Cornerstone - our spiritual foundation for the New Year. The physical body is especially put to the test, tasking us to recover the moral potential of revolution thru karmic Justice.
At this 100-year milestone marked by the grave of Rudolf Steiner, humanity stands at a new Turning Point – a Crossroads - where we are invited to awaken in our reckoning & converge with the great Cosmic mission which gives Earth its meaning & humanity its goal. ~hag
