The direction from inside outward turns the attention toward the nexus of nature into which we work, with the ideas of spiritual research, in the making and applying of the preparations. Here we bring about a transformation in our own inward being, in the sense of a deepening of understanding — and equally a change in the "inner nature of nature." Both transformations stand in a spirit-real relationship to one another through the idea-borne will — that is, over the bridge of the work. Thus one can accompany every preparation step with the question: what transformation process is being accomplished? — as, for example, in the case of the chamomile preparation, when the chamomile blossoms, enveloped in the small intestine of the cow, are buried in the earth over winter. In the process of making all the preparations, transformation steps take place that lead to new substance-compositions with new properties. Each of these new substance compositions holds a potential of properties that, as fertilising force, brings about specific transformations in the living. Rudolf Steiner himself indicates the direction for our researching attention regarding these fertilising workings. He points out that as a working of the preparations, particular substance-transformations take place in the living, and he characterises their effects on soil and plants, for instance, as "enlivening," "health-giving," "making-reasonable," "making-sensitive."
