For example, the significance of the number three was taught by saying: “Let us consider the development of a plant and pay attention to three things.” Let us start with the plant germ. You have an inconspicuous, small plant germ, from which the plant gradually develops. We can depict this in a drawing by letting the plant germ diverge in a radiating manner, up to the leaves, flowers and fruit. Now the germ has become a plant and then the plant germ has become a plant again. What has diverged in the plant to become leaves, flowers and fruit is all wrapped up together in the germ; it has, as it were, slipped into the germ. In a developed plant, everything is revealed in the senses. Then the senses enter into a completely different realm, into the germ. There we have in the germ the senses as small as possible and the spiritual as large as possible.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Sie haben einen unscheinbaren, kleinen Pflanzenkeim, aus diesem entwickelt sich nach und nach die Pflanze. Wir können das zeichnerisch so darstellen, daß wir den Pflanzenkeim strahlenförmig auseinandergehen lassen, bis zu Blättern, Blüten und Frucht. Nun ist der Keim zur Pflanze und dann aus der Pflanze wiederum der Pflanzenkeim geworden. Was in der Pflanze auseinandergewickelt zu Blättern, Blüte und Frucht geworden ist, das alles ist im Keim zusammengewickelt, es ist gleichsam hineingeschlüpft in den Keim. In einer entwickelten Pflanze ist alles im Sinnlichen offenbart. Dann geht das Sinnliche in ein ganz Rleines hinein, in den Keim.
