The second step of the preparation has until now been considered only under the physico-spatial aspect. To this is added the temporal aspect. The yarrow spheres remain, hung above the earth and there exposed to the forces of warmth and air and to the light of the sun, from spring through summer until autumn (Figure 26, II, p. 363). During this time, above all in summer, air and warmth and the moisture-sheath of the earth are permeated by etheric and astral forces that ray in directly from the sun and from the planetary periphery, especially that of the sub-solar planets. What lives spiritually in these forces allows the plants to grow; they configure themselves in their inexhaustible abundance of forms. This working of forces — holding sway as it were horizontally in warmth, air and moisture — is received by the blossom mass within the enclosing sheath. Again it will be the substantial constitution of the bladder that mediates what lives in the succession of time, and it will be its organ-form that preserves the imprint of each individual moment.
