The difference between inanimate and animate bodies is that in inanimate bodies the materials of which they are constituted follow physical, chemical laws only; but in animate bodies the various materials are combined with one another in a very complicated manner, and only under the influence of the etheric body can they be held together in this form, which to-them is unnatural and is forced upon them. The physical materials have the constant tendency to group themselves according to their own nature; this signifies the destruction of the living body and the etheric body fights continually against this destruction.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"The Seven Principles of Human Nature and Development","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Im belebten Körper dagegen sind die Stoffe in sehr komplizierter Weise miteinander verkettet, und nur unter Einwirkung des Ätherleibes können sie sich in dieser ihnen unnatürlichen, aufgedrungenen Gruppierung halten.
