the preparation manuring stands in the service of a progressive development of the Earth and of the human being. It lends to agricultural and horticultural work a new, a higher meaning. Its practice leads in reality to a new working- and researching-disposition, to a new artistry. The impulse toward this manuring does not spring from an external occasion or even from the fulfilment of a norm, but from an impulse that has become a matter of the heart. The more this is the case, the freer and therewith the more individually artistic becomes the deed of its practice. The significance of the biodynamic preparations for Earth and human being can only open itself on the path of knowledge of the spirit; this challenge will appear to many as too demanding. But if one engages with it without prejudice, one soon becomes aware that the source which calls to action is not to be sought outside in the world, but purely within oneself. The results — the idea-forms — of spiritual research are this source. It spreads light over what one at first still does groping in the dark. The inner certainty, however, grows gradually in the alternating thinking and doing of these ideas. Here it is "not a matter of momentary success, but of unconditional working." "For no failure is ever decisive for the truth of a spiritual impulse whose working has been inwardly seen through and taken hold of."
