In all domestic animals, with the exception of dogs and cats, the nerve-sense pole is reduced in favour of the metabolic and limb pole. Consider the enormous metabolic performances of dairy cattle, pigs, the horse harnessed before the plough, and so forth. The openness of the soul element holds the organic processes of the etheric body — with particular emphasis on the rhythmic — in a specifically plastic and mobile condition of its own kind. Domestic animals have thus emancipated themselves from their wild kindred both in their earlier sexual maturity and higher fecundity, and also in their reproductive cycle and change of coat, which are no longer governed by the course of the year.
