‘Let us now look at the world that surrounds us. The solid stones, the streams, the evaporating water that rises as mist and fog, the air – everything solid, liquid, gaseous and fiery – these are all, in fact, nothing but fire. Everything is fire – that is, densified fire. Gold, silver, and copper are densified fire. In the far distant past, everything was fire; everything was born of fire; but in all forms of densification, spirituality lies enchanted.’
Rudolph Steiner, The Spiritual Hierarchies and the Physical World: Reality and illusion
