The soul body has been interiorized, leading to the experience of hunger and thirst, of pain-sensations and so forth. Upon the streaming life-processes of the plants these astral forces work from without — forming, shaping, configuring, damming. They form and dam the streaming life into the shape of the root differently than into the shapes of the stem, the leaf, the blossom. The formative forces unite with the streaming life and create for themselves an image in every manifest form of a plant species, modified through the site-specifically varying interplay of the forces of earth and cosmos. When one looks at the species diversity of the grasses and cereals, the herbaceous, perennial, shrubby, and arboreal life of a farm and their overall composition, there reveals itself in their sense-perceptible forms what works in concealment as formative-force-bearing streaming — living itself forth as the etheric organisation of the farm organism as a wholeness.
