With this characterization, the key is given to a deepened, imaginatively conceptual elaboration of the concept of the organism — or of "closedness." With an eye to agriculture, this concept opens the possibility of allowing an agricultural operation to arise anew out of the force of the consciousness soul and in conscious metamorphosis of the past. Were one to stop there, it would be only a — though conscious — repetition of what once was the peripheral shaping-through of farm and village bounds. But how does it stand with the metamorphosis of the former spiritual centre, the church? This centre shifts, in the course of the becoming self-aware of the human being, into the human being himself. He must learn, through the inner empowerment of his I-individuality, to awaken self-creatively the moral impulses that guide him in his work so that the macrocosmically given site-specificity of the farm develops essentially into the "farm individuality." Just as the threefold nature of the human being directs the gaze toward the vertical articulation of the farm, toward the Earth-Sun axis, so does the fourfoldness direct it toward the spatially horizontal orientation of the village bounds — the body of this individuality. The former opens the spiritual conception of the farm individuality; the latter, the paths of practice, of its realization, of the fulfilment of its essential being.
