etheric body of the plant becomes a visible image in its form — its time-gestalt. It is the medium of becoming, of the relationally ordered succession in time: for instance, the processual activity of the plant unfolding from germ through shoot to blossom. The formative-force-filled functional nature of the etheric body lifts the substances governed by the earth's central forces up toward itself and estranges them from their merely physical properties. It composes them into organic substance-compounds — proteins, carbohydrates, and so on — whose specific functional contexts bring the form of the plant to appearance. Life becomes appearance in the forms it creates with the help of earthly substances.
