The bearer of all these transformations is the astral body. Consequently it changes essentially every day through the external impressions which you take in. But this is not the case with the etheric body. If you wish to have an idea of this imagine the following:—If you were a choleric child at the age of eight, you will probably still lose your temper even to-day. Only a few people succeed in transforming themselves to such an extent as to change also their habits, inclinations, temperament and character. This does not in any way contradict what I have explained above. The astral body is indeed connected with pleasure and pain and the other sensations, but when these have become habitual and so-called character traits, then they are rooted in the etheric body; and if we wish to transform these habits, then the etheric body must be transformed, for it is the bearer of every habit and character-trait.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Nur müssen Sie sich klarmachen, daß dieses viel schwieriger ist und langsamer vor sich geht. Der Unterschied der Umarbeitung von Astralleib und Ätherleib ist folgender: Bedenken Sie einmal, was Sie mit acht Jahren gewußt haben, und was Sie seit Ihrer Jugend sich alles angeeignet haben! Der Träger aller dieser Umwandlungen ist der Astralleib; er verändert sich also sozusagen tagtäglich ganz wesentlich durch alles das, was Sie an äußeren Eindrücken in sich aufnehmen. Anders aber ist es mit dem Ätherleib. Wollen Sie sich davon eine Vorstellung machen, dann stellen Sie sich folgendes vor: Waren Sie mit acht Jahren ein jähzorniges Kind, dann sind Sie wahrscheinlich auch heute noch manchmal jähzornig. Nur wenigen Menschen gelingt es, sich so zu verändern, daß sie auch ihre Gewohnheiten, ihre Neigungen, ihr Temperament, ihren Charakter umwandeln. Darin liegt durchaus kein Widerspruch mit dem oben Gesagten. Der Astralleib hat zwar zu tun mit Lust und Leid und unseren Leidenschaften; sind diese Leidenschaften aber zur Gewohnheit, zu sogenannten Charaktereigenschaften geworden, dann liegen sie verankert im Ätherleib; und wenn wir solche Gewohnheiten umwandeln wollen, dann muß sich der Ätherleib umwandeln, denn dieser ist der Träger aller Gewohnheiten und Charaktereigenschaften.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":219,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-18/p006"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-18/p009","GA 100/1907-06-18/p010"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":219,"en_words":234,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2886,"original_word_count":2708,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1942","book_title":"Theosophy and Rosicrucianism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA100/English/ANS1942/19070618p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
