Warmth – Seed of Connection and Transformation

Autumn Conference of the Natural Science Section at the Goetheanum
2 to 5 October 2025

In nature, warmth is the great transformative power among the elements. Only through warmth can the solid be transformed into the watery and formative element. And again it is warmth that carries the watery over into the airy. Its withdrawal transforms the airy back into the fluid, the fluid into the solid. As an element, warmth appears in fire, but as the transformative power of the elements it does not itself appear; it remains outwardly invisible. The power inherent in it forms an immediate transition into the etheric.
