Background
A description of the experience
Rudolf Steiner – Redemption of the Elementals [1909]
In these ancient times, all that surrounded people materially in the world was referred back to the four elements. The four elements – earth, water, air and fire are no longer acknowledged by modern materialistic science. But with the word ‘earth’ the spiritual science of that time did not mean what is meant by the word today. ‘Earth’ denoted a condition of matter, the solid state. In spiritual science everything to which we refer as solid was called ‘earthy’. No matter whether it was a solid limp of arable soil, a crystal, a piece of lead or gold or anything of a solid nature, it was termed ‘earth’.
