What then is the significance of this evolution by means of incarnations? It is that from incarnation to incarnation the ego works upon and transforms the three members of its being. It begins by first transforming its astral body. In the average man of today the astral body is not just as it was in the first earthly incarnation before the ego had worked upon it. In the first incarnation upon the earth the ego, working from within outwardly, transformed certain thoughts, feelings, and passions which originally had been given to men, and from incarnation to incarnation these were changed more and more through the activity of the ego. Thus it may be said that the human being has today not only the four members, physical, ether, and astral bodies, and ego, but through the activity of the ego within the astral body, he has now a member which is the actual creation of the ego itself. In each human being of today, the astral body is two-fold; it has one part that has been transformed by the ego, and another part not so transformed. This will continue and a time will come for every human being when his entire astral body will become a creation of his ego. It is the custom in oriental wisdom to call that part of the astral body, which has already been transformed by the ego, by the name of Manas; in English, Spirit-Self. Although the human being is still composed of his four members, we can now distinguish five parts: physical, ether, and astral bodies, and ego; and as fifth member, the transformed part of the astral body, Manas or Spirit-Self. Thus we may say that in every human being the astral body contains within it Manas or Spirit-Self, the work of the ego, the product of the activity of the ego.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":321,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/103/1908-05-19/p014","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maud B.

In the beginning there was only the physical body, and it was permeated by an ether and an astral body and an ego, but these belonged to divine higher beings who only dwelt within it. At the end of the Earth's evolutionary course, the human being will be entirely permeated by his ego. And this ego itself dwells within the astral body, when as Manas or Spirit-Self it permeates this astral body. The ego then permeates the ether body, which becomes impregnated by Budhi or Life-Spirit and the physical body becomes entirely transfused by Atman or Spirit-Man, also the product of the ego. What a tremendous difference between the creature at the beginning of this evolution and the same human being as he will be at the end of it! But by bringing this great difference clearly before our minds, what I purposely called a contradiction—the sleep state—then becomes comprehensible to us. The very form of the explanation in Esoteric Christianity makes it entirely intelligible to us. What then is this physical body that we shall have before us when the earth has reached the goal of its evolution? Will it be the present physical body? Not in any sense will it be the present physical body, but what the ego shall have made of it. This physical body, as well as the ether and astral bodies, will be wholly spirit-filled. But they were spirit-filled even before the human being transformed them into spirit through the activity of his ego. Even the stone, as we have said, is today permeated by the ether and astral bodies, and ego belonging to it, although they exist in higher spiritual realms.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":306,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/103/1908-05-19/p017","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-05-19","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-19/p016","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-19/p016"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 103/1908-05-19/p016"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":627,"en_words":646,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Dann wurde aber auch darauf hingewiesen, wo der Mensch in seiner Entwickelung gegenwärtig steht. Dieser Mensch, wie er aus diesen vier Gliedern besteht, bleibt gar nicht so, wie er uns erscheint. Wenn wir den Menschen rein aus den vier Gliedern aufgebaut betrachten wollen, müssen wir nicht den gegenwärtigen Menschen betrachten, sondern da müssen wir weit zurückgehen in der Entwickelung - bis in die lemurische Zeit. In der lemurischen Zeit gesellte sich zu dem Menschen, der damals aus physischem Leib, Ätherleib und astralischem Leib bestand, auch noch das Ich hinzu. Da konnte man im reinen Sinne sagen: Der Mensch bestand aus physischem Leib, Ätherleib, astralischem Leib und Ich. Nun ist seither jeder Mensch durch viele Verkörperungen hindurchgegangen. Was ist nun der Sinn dieser Entwickelung durch die Inkarnationen hindurch? Der Sinn dieser Entwickelung durch die Inkarnationen hindurch ist der, daß von Verkörperung zu Verkörperung das Ich arbeitet an sich, daB es umgestaltet die drei Glieder seiner Wesenheit. Es beginnt zunächst mit der Umgestaltung seines Astralleibes. Bei keinem heutigen Durchschnittsmenschen ist dieser astralische Leib so, wie er war, bevor das Ich in der ersten Erdenverkörperung an ihm gearbeitet hat. In der ersten Erdenverkörperung wandelte das Ich von innen heraus gewisse Vorstellungen, Empfindungen und Leidenschaften um, die dem Menschen ursprünglich gegeben waren; und von Inkarnation zu Inkarnation wird durch die Arbeit des Ich immer mehr umgewandelt. So daß wir sagen können: Der Mensch hat nicht nur heute die vier Glieder: physischen Leib, Ätherleib, astralischen Leib und Ich, sondern er hat durch die Arbeit des Ich innerhalb des astralischen Leibes einen Teil, der das Geschöpf des Ich selber ist. Und bei jedem Menschen zerfällt heute der Astralleib in zwei Teile: einen vom Ich umgewandelten Teil und einen vom Ich nicht umgewandelten Teil. Und immer weiter wird das gehen. Es wird für jeden Menschen eine Zeit kommen, wo sein ganzer astralischer Leib ein Geschöpf seines Ich sein wird. Man hat sich gewöhnt, in der morgenländischen Weisheit den Teil des astralischen Leibes, der vom Ich schon umgestaltet ist, Manas zu nennen, deutsch: Geistselbst. Dadurch besteht der Mensch immer noch aus seinen vier Gliedern; aber wir können da jetzt fünf Teile unterscheiden: physischen Leib, Ätherleib, astralischen Leib, Ich und als fünften Teil den umgewandelten Teil des astralischen Leibes, Manas oder Geistselbst. So daß wir sagen können: Bei jedem Menschen ist der astralische Leib so, daß er Manas oder Geistselbst enthält; das ist ein Werk des Ich, ein Produkt der Arbeit des Ich. Weiter wird der Mensch arbeiten an sich. Die Erde wird weitere Verkörperungen durchmachen. Der Mensch erlangt nach und nach die Fähigkeit, die heute schon von dem Eingeweihten erlangt werden kann: daß er auch an seinem Ätherleibe arbeitet. Ja, der Durchschnittsmensch arbeitet heute auch schon daran ; und soviel von seinem Ätherleibe umgestaltet ist zu einem Produkt des Ich, nennen wir dies die Buddhi oder den Lebensgeist. Und zuletzt kommt der Mensch dazu, seinen physischen Leib umzugestalten vom Ich aus; und soviel er am physischen Leib vom Ich aus umgestaltet, nennen wir dies Atman oder den Geistesmenschen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":550,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-19/p014"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-19/p015","passage_number":15,"text":"Lassen wir den Blick schweifen auf eine ferne, ferne Zukunft, wenn die Erde andere Planetenformen, andere Verkörperungen durchgemacht haben wird, wenn sie, wie wir im Okkultismus sagen, durch den Jupiterzustand, den Venuszustand und den Vulkanzustand gegangen sein wird.

Im Anfang war von diesem Menschen nur der physische Leib vorhanden. Durchdrungen war dieser physische Leib von dem Ätherleib, Astralleib und Ich, aber die gehörten göttlichen, höheren Wesenheiten an; die wohnten nur darinnen. Am Ende der Erdenlaufbahn ist der Mensch durchdrungen von seinem Ich; und dieses sein Ich wohnt selber in dem Astralleib, wenn es als Manas oder Geistselbst den astralischen Leib durchzogen hat. Dieses Ich hat dann den Ätherleib durchzogen, er ist ganz und gar durchsetzt von der Buddhi oder dem Lebensgeiste; und der physische Leib ist ganz und gar durchzogen von Atman oder dem Geistesmenschen, den Produkten des Ich. Ein ganz gewaltiger Unterschied zwischen dem Menschen am Anfange seiner Entwickelung und dem Menschen am Ende seiner Entwickelung! Gerade aber, wenn wir uns diesen Unterschied recht vor die Seele führen, wird das, was von mir absichtlich als ein Widerspruch hingestellt worden ist, der Schlafzustand, erklärlich werden. Gerade aus der Form, wie die christliche Esoterik dies erklärt hat, wird uns alles verständlich werden. Wir müssen uns klar werden: Was ist denn das, wenn die Erde am Ziel ihrer Entwickelung angelangt sein wird, was uns dann als physischer Leib entgegentritt? Der physische Leib von heute? Der ist es ganz und gar nicht! — sondern das, was das Ich aus diesem physischen Leibe gemacht haben wird. Ganz durchgeistigt wird dieser physische Leib sein, ebenso der Ätherleib und ebenso der astralische Leib. Durchgeistigt war er aber auch schon, und auch der Ätherleib und der astralische Leib, bevor der Mensch von seinem Ich aus sie durchgeistigte. Selbst der Stein ist heute, wie wir gesagt haben, durchgeistigt vom Ätherleibe, Astralleibe und Ich, die in höheren geistigen Welten lebend zum Stein gehören. So werden wir verstehen, daß die christliche Esoterik recht hat, wenn sie sagt: Ja, das, was wir heute vor uns haben als physischen Menschenleib, das kann der Mensch noch nicht beherrschen; denn der Mensch ist noch nicht am Ende seiner Entwickelung angelangt, wo er von seinem Ich aus bis in den physischen Leib hinein arbeiten wird. Auch was er im Ätherleib hat, kann er noch nicht beherrschen; das wird er erst beherrschen können, wenn die Erde im Venuszustande sein wird. Der Mensch kann also von seinem Ich aus noch nicht physischen Leib und Ätherleib beherrschen. Dann erst kann er sie beherrschen, wenn er Buddhi und Atma ausgebildet haben wird. Aber es muß ein solcher physischer und Ätherleib auf geistige Art beherrscht werden. Es muß dasjenige, was der Mensch selbst dem physischen Leibe und dem Ätherleibe einst geben kann, auch jetzt schon in ihnen sein. Auch heute müssen die geistigen Teile schon im Ätherleibe und im physischen Leibe sein, die einst das Ich ihnen geben kann. Diese waren im Anfange schon darinnen im physischen Leibe, als der Mensch auf dem Saturn war; sie waren in ihm, als er auf der Sonne war, und sie sind in ihm geblieben. So sagt die christliche Esoterik mit Recht: Im physischen Menschenleibe ist heute schon das, was einst in ihm sein wird, wenn der Mensch am Gipfel seiner Entwickelung sein wird, aber es ist göttlicher Atman, es ist göttlich-geistige Wesenheit; und es ist im Ätherleib schon die Buddhi drinnen, aber sie ist göttlicher Lebensgeist. Und der Astralleib des Menschen, haben wir gesagt, bestehe aus zwei Teilen, aus dem Teile, den der Mensch schon beherrscht, und dem, den er noch ‚nicht beherrscht. Was ist denn nun in dem drinnen, was er noch nicht beherrscht? Auch ein Geistselbst, aber göttliches Geistselbst! Nur in dem Teile des astralischen Leibes, in dem das Ich schon tätig war seit der ersten Inkarnation, ist das eigentliche Geistleben des Menschen. So haben wir den Menschen vor uns.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":627,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-19/p016"}],"beads":[{"from":[15],"to":[14],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[16],"to":[15],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[17,18],"to":[16],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
