Not every plant has its own particular astral body, but it is the case that the general astrality – spread over the surface of the earth as air is spread out physically – becomes specific. That which, as it were, descends from the earth's astral body to a particular flower, let us say a lily flower, expresses itself differently than that which descends to a clover flower. There the general astrality is specified.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Lecture","site_heading":"The Four Members and Cosmic-Astral Correspondences","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.
