Thus the polar essential properties of the six preparation plants, in their working together, are disposed to create an all-encompassing synthesis — namely, the formation of a preparation of the becoming, sun-filled middle between the heights and the depths. Through the inner empowerment of this middle, the soil, the diaphragm, is able to develop toward ever greater self-activity. On the alkaline side, the threefoldness of yarrow, chamomile and stinging nettle opens the forces of substance upward from below to the diaphragm-soil; on the acid side, the threefoldness of oak bark, dandelion and valerian opens the forces of substance downward from above. Valerian occupies a special position insofar as it, through the bearership of phosphorus, opens up the extra-cosmic sphere of spirit — the world of the archetypal images of essential being (Fig. 36, p. 462).
