"...when we work with tools or till the soil or do any other knd of work, but especially when we weave something into the fabric of the social order, then we are doing something that does not concern human beings alone, but belongs to the whole universe. When a steam engine is built, or when a telephone or a lightning conductor or a table is constructed, or if a sick person is healed, people assume as a matter of course that these are things which take place merely within human evolution on the earth. But that is not the case...events take place in the whole of the universe when something happens here on earth. This is a profound truth..."
--Rudolf Steiner, Ideas for a New Europe.
