Each plant comes into connection with the extraterrestrial universe, particularly at certain seasons of the year when spirit-currents flow in from above, from the blossom and the fruit of the plant down into the roots below, streaming into the earth. And just as we turn our eyes towards the light and see, so do the root-spirits turn their faculty of perception towards what seeps downwards from above, through the plant into the earth. What seeps down towards the root-spirits is something which the light has sent into the blossoms, which the suns warmth has sent into the plants, which the air has produced in the leaves, which the distant stars have brought about in the plants structures. The plant gathers the secrets of the universe, sinks them into the ground. Just as we find the roots busied about, woven-about by the gnome-beings in the vicinity of the ground, observing with pleasure the upward-striving direction which they give, the elemental beings of the water, the undines, are in connection with the leaves. During the growth process, the plant comes into another domain, that of spirits living in the airy-warmth element. As the gnomes are of the earth element, the undines are of the water element, and the sylphs are of the air element. After it has passed through the sphere of the sylphs, the plant comes into the sphere of the elemental fire-spirits, the salamanders. These fire-spirits are the inhabitants of the fire element. When the warmth of the earth is at its height, or is otherwise suitable, they gather the warmth together. Just as the sylphs gather up the light, so do the fire-spirits gather up the warmth and carry it into the blossoms of the plants. Pay attention not only to the trees, but all the small plants around you. Depending where you are there can be a multitude of plants. Dont forget the moss you are walking on. Have a closer look how those tiny plants are growing.
