In the case of the direction of gaze from without to within, we submerge — in the exercise of will, that is, in the work itself — into the spirit-reality of the world. What takes place within remains largely unconscious; as, for instance, when in making the yarrow preparation we stuff yarrow blossoms into a stag's bladder. We would not do it at all if the will were not impulsed by the spirit that indwells the idea we have approached in understanding along both of the aforementioned paths of research. Thus the idea-content that lights up in thinking consciousness is tested in the doing — initially experienced as a purely outer process. It is tested as an inner process against the hidden spirit-reality in which this idea-content, in the doing, creatively establishes a new relationship. This path from without to within is a path of practice — that is, of year after year
