Der Raum ist leer. Betrachten Sie aber auf dieselbe Weise irgendein lebendes Wesen, also Pflanze, Tier oder Mensch, dann ist dieser Raum, den der physische Körper einnimmt, nicht leer, sondern noch immer ausgefüllt mit einer Art Lichtgestalt, und das ist eben der vorhin erwähnte Ätherleib. Dieser Ätherleib ist nicht bei allen Lebewesen gleich, sondern sogar außerordentlich verschieden, auch in bezug auf die Form und das Größenverhältnis verschieden zu dem physischen Körper des betreffenden Lebewesens, und zwar ganz nach der Entwickelungsstufe, auf der das Lebewesen steht. Bei den Pflanzen ist dieser Ätherleib noch ganz anders geformt als die Pflanze selbst; beim Tier ist er der äußeren Tierform schon ähnlicher, und beim Menschen stellt sich der Ätherleib als eine Lichtgestalt dar, die der Form nach fast genau dem physischen Leibe entspricht. Sieht man sich zum Beispiel ein Pferd von diesem Standpunkte aus an, so sieht man außerhalb des Kopfes, vor der Stirn, diesen Ätherleib ziemlich weit herausragen in Form einer Lichtgestalt, die sich aber der Form des Pferdekopfes ungefähr anpaßt, während Sie beim heutigen Durchschnittsmenschen den Ätherleib nur oberhalb des Kopfes und zu beiden Seiten desselben ganz wenig herausragen sehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":233,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-17/p016"},{"locus":"GA 100/1907-06-17/p017","passage_number":17,"text":"Was nun die Substantialität des Ätherleibes anbelangt, so macht man sich gewöhnlich falsche Vorstellungen von der Stofflichkeit dieses Ätherleibes.
