What is here referred to, among other things, as "cosmic silicic acid" designates an immaterial, etheric-astral condition. "We could gradually, by continuing to manure in a haphazard way, prevent the earth from absorbing what is active in the way of silicic acid, lead, mercury" — "what comes in from the cosmic periphery and must be taken up into plant growth." The earth loses its capacity to receive these cosmic substances. To counteract this loss, a specially prepared manure is once again needed: the dandelion preparation. It mediates to soil and plant the capacity that belongs to the dandelion in a quite particular way — to bring potassium and silicic acid into such a reciprocal relationship within the life processes of the plants that they acquire the capacity to draw in the "cosmic silicic acid." In the dandelion this reciprocal relationship comes about precisely through the fact that it lifts the two earthly substances taken up through the root — potassium and silicic acid — out of the inorganic-physical state into an etherised condition. The milky sap is in its omnipotence closer to its archetypal image, yet even in this form of appearance it is an image of the same as are its rhythm in stasis and movement and the intensification of that rhythm from the root, through the leaf rosette, culminating in the flower heads. The dandelion is "a kind of messenger from the heavens"; its appearance announces as much.
