Let us once more look back to the time when the human astral body with the ego was immersed in the matrix of a common divine astral substance. As you follow this evolutionary course, you find that development took place in such a way that it is possible to describe it schematically. In the beginning, your whole astral being was embedded in the common astral substance and through the processes which we have just described, the physical and etheric enclosed it like surrounding shells. Thus individual human beings became separated from the general astral substance as detached parts. It was as though you had a fluid substance here before you and were dipping out parts of it. The detachment of the individual human consciousness from the divine consciousness runs parallel with the formation of the physical body. Thus we may say that the further we progress, the more we see how the separate individual human beings enclosed in the shell of the physical body, develop themselves as parts which are severed from the common astrality. It is true, the human being had to pay for this becoming independent by the darkening of his astral consciousness. Therefore he looked out from the sheath of his physical body and beheld the physical plane. The ancient clairvoyant consciousness, however, gradually disappeared.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Die Herausentwickelung geschah ja so -— wenn Sie diesen Gang der Entwickelung verfolgen -, daß wir sie uns schematisch beschreiben können. Da war ursprünglich Ihr ganzes Astralisches eingebettet in das allgemeine Astralische, und durch die Vorgänge, die wir eben geschildert haben, bildeten sich das Physische und Ätherische wie Schalen herum. Dadurch wurden die einzelnen Menschen als abgesonderte Partien aus dem allgemein Astralischen herausgeschnürt, wie wenn Sie eine flüssige Substanz vor sich haben, und Sie schöpfen Teile heraus. Parallel ging mit dieser Bildung des physischen Leibes die Abschnürung des einzelnen menschlichen Bewußtseins vom göttlichen Bewußtsein. So daß wir, je weiter wir vorwärtsschreiten, sagen können: Wir sehen, wie - in die Schale des physischen Leibes eingeschlossen - die einzelnen individuellen Menschen sich herausbilden als Partien, die sich absondern aus der allgemeinen Astralität. Freilich muß der Mensch dieses Selbständigwerden dadurch bezahlen, daß sein astralisches Bewußtsein verdunkelt wird; dafür schaut er aus der Schale seines physischen Leibes hinaus und sieht den physischen Plan.
