Such is the living-into the principle of metamorphosis, which is active everywhere in nature and which can become a key of cognition precisely for what leads toward a progressive understanding of the preparation plants and toward the capacity to enliven, through the path of preparation, the relationship between soil and plant. Metamorphoses accomplish themselves in the mercurial connecting link between the substance-process of the root (the Sal, or earthly, pole) and that in the blossom (the Sulphur, or cosmic, pole). With regard to form, the reverse holds: the blossom dies into the highly differentiated forms of its organs through the working of earthly forces. The root, on the other hand, continues growing under the influence of cosmic forces at the root tip and shows — especially in the taproot — a more unified form (see also the chapter "The Composition of the Yarrow Preparation," p. 361 ff.). The agent of metamorphosis is the mercurial in-between; meditatively thinking-beholding one's way into it schools and enlivens thinking.
