It is to this stream of force that man specially owes his upright position. We do not find this current in animals, they are bound to the earth by their front limbs. In respect of the form and size of the human etheric body we may say that in its upper part it is an exact image of the physical body. The lower parts are different; here they do not coincide with the physical body. There is a great secret underlying the relationship between the etheric and physical bodies, one which throws a strong light upon human nature. The etheric body of a man is female, that of a woman is male. This explains the fact that in each man's nature there is much that is feminine, and in each woman's nature there is much that is masculine. In the animals the etheric body is larger than the physical body. Thus, for example, in the case of the horse the clairvoyant sees that his etheric body projects above his head like a cap.","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.

In bezug auf Gestalt und Form und Größe des menschlichen Ätherleibes kann man sagen, daß derselbe in seinen oberen Partien ein vollständiges Ebenbild des physischen Leibes ist. Anders ist es mit seinen unteren Partien, welche nicht mit dem physischen Körper übereinstimmen. Dem Verhältnis von Ätherleib und physischem Leibe liegt ein großes Geheimnis zugrunde, das tief hineinleuchtet in die Menschennatur: der Ätherleib des Mannes ist weiblich, derjenige des Weibes ist männlich. Dadurch wird die Tatsache erklärt, daß wir in jeder Mannesnatur viel Weibliches, und in jeder Frauennatur viel Männliches finden. Bei den Tieren ist der Ätherleib größer als der physische Leib.
