des Letzteren Begriff, vom Standpunkt des Landbaus, mit der Idee der «landwirtschaftlichen Individualität» zusammenzudenken. So wie diese «ihr Wesen erfüllt», wenn sie als solche «aufgefasst wird», so fulfils the individuality of the human being, the I, with substance-of-being in the degree to which it spiritualizes its members — physical body, etheric body and astral body — through the force of the I; that is, frees them from their bondage to nature. The fulfilment-of-being of the I constitutes the human being's path of development across the incarnations. The more the I living in the body advances in the consciousness of its spirit-nature, the more it can extend itself, out of the surplus-force of its being, over extra-human nature and — transforming that nature through goal-directed activity — learn to «apprehend a farm as a kind of individuality». This apprehending is truly an inauguration into the future: namely, to implant the idea of development — now proceeding from the human being awakening to a higher humanity — into the become-being of nature. It means at the same time, out of the force of the higher I, to renounce what the body-bound, self-seeking I wills for itself. Therewith the path is shown by which Christianity can strike roots anew in the work upon the earth. This forward-looking vision grounds the inner disposition from which the farmer can give to nature in love what it does not have — a gift through which the working of the nature beings at a site can individualize itself into a higher whole.
