selection principle. The headings are this index's own; none is taken from a chapter title of Steiner's.

usage. This entry lists where Rudolf Steiner's collected works (the Gesamtausgabe, GA) treat the subject. It contains no quotations: the headings, scope lines and notes are this index's wording, not Steiner's. Under each heading Steiner's own books (GA 1 to 28) come first, then articles and notes (GA 29 to 46), then lectures in date order. A text is listed when it treats the subject or the point its heading names, not when the word merely occurs. A paragraph number marks the one passage that is the point; otherwise the reference is the whole chapter or lecture. A book's defining paragraph is also listed in German where the German edition numbers it differently. A lecture with more than one English translation is listed once. Texts with no English translation are listed in German, and so are the esoteric lessons (GA 266), whose German is the original record; each reference's witnesses name every language the site serves it in. A reference marked as listeners' notes was written down by others (a listener, a newspaper, the minutes), one marked report by others is another person's account of a meeting or event, one marked mixed sources comes from a volume that holds both listeners' records and texts in Steiner's own hand, and one marked may be abridged is a translation shorter than the German. Read a passage before saying what it contains.

Alias notes4

alias note (sentient body). Used for the whole astral body in the lectures and in the education essay (GA 34), which pair the two names. In Theosophy (GA 9), which divides the human being into three bodies, three soul members and three spirit members, and in lectures that follow that division, it names the bodily part of the astral body, apart from the sentient soul. see Soul body, sentient body and sentient soul

alias note (soul body). Used for the whole astral body in early lectures and in An Outline of Esoteric Science (GA 13), which offers it as the more exact name; in Theosophy (GA 9) it names the part of the astral body that the sentient soul permeates, so that soul body and sentient soul together are the astral body. see Soul body, sentient body and sentient soul

alias note (Empfindungsleib). The German of sentient body: the whole astral body in the lectures, which pair the two names, and the bodily part of it in the division of Theosophy (GA 9) into three bodies, three soul members and three spirit members. see Soul body, sentient body and sentient soul

alias note (Seelenleib). The German of soul body: the whole astral body in early lectures and in GA 13, and in Theosophy (GA 9) the part of it that the sentient soul permeates. see Soul body, sentient body and sentient soul
