For it is thus that man is not plant, but man. He has the faculty, time and again to destroy the form as soon as it arises; for he excretes the carbon<\/strong><\/strong>, bound to the oxygen<\/strong>, as <\/m>carbonic acid<\/em>. Carbon<\/strong> in the human body would form us too stiffly and firmly \u2014 it would stiffen our form like a palm. Carbon<\/strong> is constantly about to make us still and firm in this way, and for this very reason our breathing must constantly dismantle what the carbon<\/strong><\/strong> builds. Our breathing tears the carbon<\/strong><\/strong> out of its rigidity, unites it with the oxygen<\/strong> and carries it outward. So we are formed in the mobility which we as human beings need. In plants, the carbon<\/strong><\/strong> is present in a very different way. To a certain degree it is fastened \u2014 even in annual plants \u2014 in firm configuration. (Steiner 2007:23)<\/p>\n

But we must now go farther. I have placed two things side by side; on the one hand the carbon<\/strong><\/strong> framework, wherein are manifested the workings of the highest spiritual essence which is accessible to us on Earth: the human Ego, or the cosmic spiritual Being which is working in the plants. Observe the human process: we have the breathing before us \u2014 the living oxygen<\/strong> as it occurs inside the human being, the living oxygen<\/strong> carrying the ether. And in the background we have the carbon<\/strong><\/strong>-framework, which in the human being is in perpetual movement. These two must come together. The oxygen<\/strong> must somehow find its way along the paths mapped out by the framework. Wherever any line, or the like, is drawn by the carbon<\/strong><\/strong> \u2014 by the spirit of the carbon<\/strong><\/strong> \u2014 whether in man or anywhere in Nature there the ethereal oxygen<\/strong>-principle must somehow find its way. It must find access to the spiritual carbon<\/strong><\/strong>-principle. Flow does it do so? Where is the mediator in this process? (Steiner 2007:23)<\/p>\n

But now, all that is thus developed in the living creature, structurally as in a fine and delicate design, must eventually be able to vanish again. It is not the Spirit that vanishes, but that which the Spirit has built into the carbon<\/strong><\/strong>, drawing the life to itself out of the oxygen<\/strong> as it does so. This must be able once more to disappear. Not only in the sense that it vanishes on Earth; it must be able to vanish into the Cosmos<\/em>, into the universal All. (Steiner 2007:26)<\/p>\n
