The wonder of the soil conceals itself in its inconspicuousness. The substances and forces make themselves sense-perceptible in the forms of the earth; their working and being remains hidden, and is to be sought in all the realms of existence — of sub-nature, nature, and supra-nature. There are beings and forces that bring about breakdown, decay and death (sub-nature); those that work physically-mechanically and constitute the physical body in plant, animal and human being; further, those that bestow life in the kingdoms of nature; and finally those that, in the animal kingdom, endow and sustain the soul. The spirit, which comes alive in the self-consciousness of the human being as supra-nature, is poured out over the kingdoms of nature and creates for itself in all form-building an image.
