Christ is the Spirit of the Earth

“As truly as your soul and spirit dwell within your physical body, do also the soul and spirit of the Earth dwell within the body of the Earth — that earthly body which consists of stones, plants, and animals and upon which you tread. This soul and spirit, this Earth Spirit, is the Christ. Christ is the Spirit of the Earth.”

– Rudolf Steiner, The Gospel of John: Lecture VII: The Mystery of Golgotha
