Yet the efficacy of the valerian preparation goes beyond this. It does not exhaust itself in building the phosphorus released from the organic compounds back at once into the nuclear proteins of the microbes — thereby holding it in place for a time until it can be taken up by the cultivated plants. The microbial activity takes place in the moist-watery, least of all at first in the earthy-solid. The latter is only the case through the specialized activity of the soil animals, guided by an astral body. The efficacy of the blossom-juice of valerian appears by contrast as a general one — one that seizes all the sub-processes and brings them together, one that closes the proliferating metabolic activity of the manure heap into a self-contained whole. Under the influence of this preparation the manure heap develops into a kind of organism, in which the astral forces raying in from the periphery penetrate the chaos of decomposition. These forces form the astral organization of the manure heap, which — by virtue of the forces of the higher purely spiritual I-being dwelling within it — makes the phosphorus, now freed from all bonds, once again into a bearer. Through the addition of the valerian preparation there takes place a kind of re-endowment of the phosphorus, after it has, in its passage through the chaos of decomposition, shed its former spirit-bearership.
