These statements appeal to individual powers of judgment. Out of a striving cast of mind, the person active in agriculture must endeavour to work out in concepts a thought-picture of the essential nature of the human being as microcosm. This thought-picture becomes the key to an understanding of the macrocosm and, concretely, to an understanding of a portion of it: the agricultural operation. It furnishes the ideas according to which this macrocosmic portion can be shaped into a self-contained whole, into an organism — into the body of "a kind of farm individuality." The ideational foundation for this takes form when the sense-perceptible and natural-scientific facts are raised in thought into the meaning-giving context of the findings of supersensible anthroposophical spiritual research. It is the thinking-pictorial grasp of this context of meaning that is at issue. Within it rests the germ of a new becoming of agriculture. This becoming unfolds under the "idea-sun" of the human spirit growing aware of itself; it is this spirit that guides the active hand toward meaning-filled work.
