Of the phenomena that run their course in the lifeless, one can say: "They show themselves as governed by forces that radiate from the being of substance, from the — relative — centre-point toward the periphery. The phenomena of life show substance governed by forces that work from outside inward, toward the relative centre-point. At the transition into life, substance must withdraw from the radiating forces and submit to the in-streaming ones. [...] It is drawn into the forces that stream in toward the earth from the extra-terrestrial, from all sides [...] From all sides they work inward, these forces, as though striving toward the centre of the earth."
