We have said that in anyone who aspires to initiation and has attained it, higher organs have been developed. How is this accomplished? It is a matter of understanding the human astral body in the state in which it exists in its purity. During the day this astral body is immersed in the physical body. There the forces of the physical body act upon it; it is not then free. It carries out the demands of the physical body; hence it is impossible to begin the development of these higher organs during the day. It can be begun when the astral body is out of the physical body, in sleep; only then can the astral body be moulded. The human astral body can only have its higher sense organs developed when they are carved into it during sleep, while outside the physical body. But we cannot manipulate a sleeping human being; that would not be possible for the modern man, if he wishes to perceive what is happening to him in sleep. If you have him in an unconscious condition, then he cannot observe this. Here there seems to be a contradiction, for the astral body is not conscious of its connection with the physical body during sleep. But *indirectly* it is possible that during the day the physical body is acted upon and the impressions which it then receives remain within the astral body when this is withdrawn at night. Just as the impressions which the astral body receives from the surrounding physical world have been impressed upon it, so in like manner we must do something quite specific with the physical body, in order that this something be imprinted upon the astral body and then be formed in it in the proper manner. This happens when the human being ceases to live in his customary way during the day, allowing random impressions to enter his consciousness, and takes his inner life in hand by means of a methodical schooling in the manner described. This is called Meditation, Concentration or Contemplation. These are exercises which are as strictly prescribed in the schools for the purpose, as microscopy is prescribed in the laboratories. If a person carries out these exercises, they act so intensely upon him that the astral body is plastically re-shaped when it withdraws during sleep. Just as this sponge adapts itself to the form of my hand as long as I hold it there, but forms itself again according to the forces inherent in it as soon as I release it, so in like manner is it with the astral body; when in sleep it withdraws from the corporality, it follows the astral forces invested in it. Thus it is during the day that we must undertake those spiritual activities by means of which the astral body, during the night, is plastically formed so that organs of higher perception are developed in it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":505,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/103/1908-05-30/p014","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-05-30","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30/p016","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30/p016"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 103/1908-05-30/p016"],"length_check":{"de_words":478,"en_words":505,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

This is the specifically Christian course. 3. Again one can work through a combination of feeling and will. This is the Christian-Rosicrucian method. To consider the Yoga practice would carry us too far, and it would also have no relationship to the Gospel of St. John. We shall consider the specifically Christian initiation and explain its basis. You must think of this form of initiation as one which a person belonging to the present social order could hardly undergo. It demands a temporary isolation.

Let us describe how the Christian neophyte must live in order that he may pass through these stages. The first stage is what is called “Washing the Feet.” Here the teacher says to the pupil: “Observe the plants. They have their roots in the ground; the mineral earth is a lower being than the plant. If the plant were able to contemplate its own nature, it would have to say to the earth; it is true I am a higher being, but if thou wert not there, I could not exist; for from thee, O earth, I draw most of my sustenance. If the plant were able to translate this into feeling, it would then bow itself down to the stone and say:—I bow myself before thee, O stone, thou humbler being, for I am indebted to thee for my very existence! Then if we ascend to the animal, it would have to behave in a similar manner toward the plant and say: Indeed it is true, I am higher than the plant, but to the lower kingdoms I owe my existence! If in this manner we mount higher and reach the human being, then each individual who stands somewhat higher in the social scale must incline himself to the lower and say: To those on the lower social level I owe my existence! This continues on up to Christ-Jesus. The Twelve who are about Him are at a level lower than Christ-Jesus; but as the plant develops out of the stone, so does the Christ grow out of the Twelve.

Wir sagten, daß bei dem, der die Einweihung anstrebt und erhält, die höheren Organe herausmodelliert werden. Wie macht man das? Es handelt sich darum, daß man den Astralleib des Menschen abfaßt da, wo er in seiner Reinheit zu haben ist. Während der astralische Leib im Tagwachen untergetaucht ist in den physischen Leib, wirken die Kräfte des physischen Leibes auf den Astralleib; da hat man ihn also nicht frei. Da folgt er dem, was der physische Leib will, da kann man sozusagen nichts anfangen mit ihm. Man kann etwas anfangen mit ihm, man kann nur dann ihn modellieren, wenn er im Schlafe aus dem physischen Leibe heraus ist. Nur dadurch kann der Astralleib eines Menschen die höheren Sinnesorgane ausgebildet erhalten, daß man sie ihm hineinziseliert, während er außerhalb des physischen Leibes ist, im Schlafe. Nun kann man aber am schlafenden Menschen nicht herumhantieren. Das wäre beim heutigen Menschen nicht möglich, wenn er das, was mit ihm geschieht, wahrnehmen soll. Wenn Sie ihn im bewußtlosen Zustande haben, kann er das nicht wahrnehmen. Hier scheint ein Widerspruch vorzuliegen, denn der Astralleib ist sich seines Zusammenhanges mit dem physischen Leibe nicht bewußt, während der Mensch schläft. Aber indirekt geht es zu machen dadurch, daß man während des Tagwachens auf den physischen Leib wirkt, so daß die Eindrücke, die der physische Leib während des Tagwachens erhält, im Astralleib bleiben, wenn dieser sich herauszieht. Geradeso wie sonst im Astralleib die Eindrücke, die er durch die umliegende physische Welt erhält, eingedrückt sind, so muß man etwas ganz Spezifisches mit dem physischen Leibe anfangen, damit das sich in den astralischen Leib eindrückt und dann in der entsprechenden Weise ausgebildet wird. Das geschieht nun, indem der Mensch nicht immer so in den Tag hineinlebt, wie es sonst der Fall ist, und Eindrücke von da und dort hereinkommen läßt, sondern indem er in der durch eine methodische Schulung vorgeschriebenen Art sein inneres Leben in die Hand nimmt. Man nennt das Meditation, Konzentration oder Kontemplation. Das sind Übungen, die ebenso streng vorgeschrieben sind in den entsprechenden Schulen wie in den Laboratorien das Mikroskopieren und so weiter. Wenn ein Mensch solche Übungen macht, wirken sie so intensiv auf ihn ein, daß der astralische Leib, wenn er herausrutscht während des Schlafes, sich plastisch umgestaltet. Gerade so wie der Schwamm hier, solange ich ihn in meiner Hand habe, sich den Formen der Hand anpaßt, aber sobald ich ihn wieder loslasse, sich wieder nach den Kräften formt, die in ihm sind, ebenso ist es mit dem astralischen Leibe: Wenn er im Schlafe aus der Leiblichkeit heraustritt, folgt er den astralischen Kräften, die in ihm angelegt sind. So muß man während des Tagwachens diejenigen geistigen Verrichtungen vornehmen, durch welche in der Nacht der astralische Leib sich so plastisch gestaltet, daß er in sich die Organe bildet zum höheren Wahrnehmen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":478,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30/p016"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30/p017","passage_number":17,"text":"Nun kann man diese Meditation in dreifacher Weise einrichten.
