When the astral body enters in connection with the external world during the waking life of daytime, it must live together with the physical and etheric body; but when it extricates itself from the body, that is to say, during sleep, it is freed from these fetters of the physical and etheric body. Then something wonderful arises; the forces of the astral body then reach as far as the starry world, where the soul-Beings of the plants are to be found, and it draws its strength from that world. The astral body reposes in a world where the stars are embedded. This is the world of the Harmony of the Spheres, according to the Pythagoreans. It is a reality and not a mere fancy. If we live consciously in this world, we can hear the harmonies of the spheres, we can hear the stars resounding in their reciprocal forces and relations. In this sense, Goethe was an initiate, and in this meaning we should read the beginning of the Prologue in Heaven of “Faust:—","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Und da tritt etwas Wunderbares ein: da reichen die Kräfte des Astralleibes bis in die Gestirnenwelt, wo die Seelenwesenheiten der Pflanzen sind, und aus dieser Welt nimmt er seine Kraft. Der Astralleib ruht in der Welt, in der die Gestirne eingebettet sind. Das ist die Welt der Sphärenharmonie der Pythagoreer. Sie ist eine reale Wirklichkeit und keine Phantasie. Wenn man bewußt in dieser Welt lebt, dann hört man die Sphärenharmonien, dann hört man klingen die Kräfte und Verhältnisse der Sterne zueinander.
