It might be thought that a person must first have the body in front of him before he can work the organs into it. He might say: “If I could take out the astral body and have it in front of me, I could then mould the organs into it.” That would not be the right way, and above all, it is not the way for modern initiation. Certainly an initiate who is able to live in the spiritual worlds could mould the organs like a sculptor, when during the night the astral body is outside. But that would entail doing something with a person of which he is not conscious; it would mean interfering in his sphere of freedom, with the exclusion of his consciousness. We shall see why this has not been allowed to happen for a long time past, and particularly not at the present time. For this reason, even in esoteric schools such as the Pythagorean or old Egyptian, everything had to be avoided whereby the initiates would have to work from outside upon the astral body which was taken out of the physical and etheric bodies of the neophyte. This had to be avoided from the very outset. The first step towards initiation had to be undertaken with man in the ordinary physical world, in the same world where man perceives with the physical senses. But how can this be done? For it is exactly through physical perception coming into earthly evolution that a veil has been drawn over the spiritual world formerly perceived by man, although but dimly. How can one work from the physical world upon the astral body? Here it is necessary that we should consider what happens with regard to our ordinary everyday sense perceptions. What happens in these cases? What happens while man is perceiving all day long? Think of your daily life, follow it step by step! At every step the impressions of the outer world press in upon you, you perceive them; you see, hear, smell, etc. When you are doing your work impressions storm upon you all day long and you work upon these impressions with your intellect. The poet who is not an inspired poet permeates them with his fantasy. All this is true! But all this cannot, to begin with, lead man to the consciousness of the super-sensible spiritual which lies behind the sensible and material. Why does it not come to his consciousness? Because all this activity which man exercises with respect to the surrounding world does not correspond with the essential nature of the human astral body as it exists to-day. When in the primeval past the astral body proper to man saw the pictures of the astral perception rise up—those pictures of joy and sorrow, of sympathy and antipathy—inner spiritual impulses were present, causing something to rise in man which formed organs. These were killed when man had to allow all the influences from outside to stream in upon him, and at the present time it is impossible for anything to remain in the astral body from all the impressions received during the day which could mould it plastically.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":551,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/104/1908-06-18/p012","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-06-18","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p014","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p014"},{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p015","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p015"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 104/1908-06-18/p014","GA 104/1908-06-18/p015"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":943,"en_words":979,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

These work through the physical senses upon the etheric and astral bodies, until the ego becomes conscious of them. The result of what affects the physical body is expressed in the astral body. When the eyes receive impressions of light, these influence the etheric and astral bodies and the ego becomes conscious of them. So, too, with the impressions made upon the ears and other senses. Thus the whole of one's daily life affects the astral body through-out the day. The astral body is continually active under the influence of the outer world. Then in the evening it withdraws from the physical body. It now has no power in itself to become conscious of the impressions in its present environment. The ancient forces of the distant past were killed with the first perception of the present sense world. During the night it has no power because the entire life of the day is incapable of leaving anything in the astral body which could work formatively upon it. All the things you see around you produce effects as far as into the astral body, but that which then takes place is unable to create forms capable of becoming astral organs. It must be the first step of initiation to allow a person to do something during the life of the day, to allow something to play into his soul, which continues during the night when the astral body is withdrawn from the physical and etheric bodies. Imagine that—pictorially expressed—something were given to a person while he is fully conscious, which he has to do, which he has to allow to happen, and which is so chosen, so constructed that it does not cease working when the day is over. Imagine this activity as a sound, which continues when the astral body is withdrawn; this resounding would then constitute the force which worked plastically on the astral body, as at one time external forces have worked upon the physical body. This was always the first step of initiation—to give a person something to do during the life of the day, which has an after-effect in the life of the night. What is called meditation, concentration, and other practices which a person undertakes during his daily life, are nothing but exercises of the soul, the effects of which do not die away when the astral body withdraws, but reverberate, and then in the night become constructive forces in the astral body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":428,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/104/1908-06-18/p013","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-06-18","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p014","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p014"},{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p015","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p015"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 104/1908-06-18/p015"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":943,"en_words":979,"ratio":1.04,"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 was the first step, which was also called catharsis, purification. It did not yet constitute activity in super-sensible worlds; it consisted in exercises of the soul which the pupil performed during the day as a training of the soul. It consisted in adopting certain forms of life, certain feelings, a certain way of treating life, so that it could reverberate; and this worked upon the astral body until it had been transformed, until organs had developed in it. When the pupil had progressed so far that these organs had developed in the astral body, the next thing was that everything which had been formed there should be imprinted in the etheric body. Just as the characters on a seal are imprinted in sealing-wax, so must everything which has been formed in the astral body be imprinted in the etheric body. This imprinting is the next stage of initiation; it was called illumination. For it brought with it an important stage in initiation. A spiritual world then appeared around the pupil, just as formerly the sense world was around him. This stage is also characterized by the fact that the events of the outer spiritual world do not express themselves as physical objects do, but in pictures. At this stage of illumination the spiritual world first expresses itself in pictures. The pupil sees pictures. Think of the ancient initiate I referred to yesterday who saw the group-soul of a people. When he had progressed to this stage, he at first saw this group-soul in pictures. Imagine an initiate such as Ezekiel, who, when his illumination began, became aware of spiritual beings as folk-souls, group-souls; he felt himself in their midst; he saw group-souls in the form of four symbolical beasts.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":308,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/104/1908-06-18/p014","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-06-18","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p016","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p016"},{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p017","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p017"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 104/1908-06-18/p016","GA 104/1908-06-18/p017"],"length_check":{"de_words":312,"en_words":308,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Das mußte schon beim ersten Angreifen der Sache wegbleiben. Es mußte eben der erste Schritt zur Einweihung unternommen werden am Menschen in der ganz gewöhnlichen physischen Welt, in derselben Welt, wo der Mensch mit seinen physischen Sinnen wahrnimmt. Aber wie das machen, da ja doch gerade das physische Wahrnehmen, als es in der Erdenevolution eintrat, einen Schleier über die geistige Welt gezogen hat, die der Mensch früher, wenn auch bei dumpfem Bewußtsein, hat wahrnehmen können, wie also von der physischen Welt aus auf den astralischen Leib wirken?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":275,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p014"},{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p015","passage_number":15,"text":"Da müssen wir uns vor die Seele führen, wie es ist mit diesem gewöhnlichen sinnlichen Wahrnehmen des Tages. Was geschieht denn, während der Mensch tagsüber wahrnimmt? Denken Sie einmal an Ihr tägliches Leben, verfolgen Sie es von Schritt zu Schritt. Bei jedem Schritt dringen Eindrücke der Außenwelt an Sie heran. Sie nehmen sie wahr, Sie sehen, hören, riechen und so weiter. Die Eindrücke bei dieser oder jener Arbeit stürmen den ganzen Tag an Sie heran, Sie verarbeiten sie mit Ihrem Intellekt. Der Dichter, der nicht selbst ein Inspirierter ist, durchdringt sie mit seiner Phantasie. Das ist alles wahr. Aber alles dies kann zunächst nicht dazu führen, daß das Übersinnlich-Geistige, das hinter dem Sinnlichen und Materiellen ist, dem Menschen zum Bewußtsein kommt. Warum kommt es ihm nicht zum Bewußtsein? Weil diese ganze Tätigkeit, die der Mensch gegenüber der Umwelt ausübt, dem astralischen Leib des Menschen, so wie er heute seiner eigentlichen Wesenheit nach ist, nicht entspricht. Damals, als in urferner Vergangenheit der astralische Leib, der dem Menschen eigen war, die Bilder der astralischen Wahrnehmungen aufsteigen sah, jene Bilder von Lust und Leid, von Sympathie und Antipathie, da waren die inneren Impulse vorhanden, die geistigen Impulse, die im Menschen aufsteigen ließen, was Organe formte. Diese sind ertötet worden damals, als der Mensch fähig wurde, alle Einflüsse von außen auf sich zuströmen zu lassen. Heute ist es nicht möglich, daß aus all den Eindrücken, die der Mensch während des Tages erhält, im astralischen Leib etwas bleibt, was bildsam, plastisch für ihn ist. Der Vorgang des Wahrnehmens ist so: Den ganzen Tag über kommen die Eindrücke der Außenwelt an uns heran. Diese wirken durch die physischen Sinne auf den Ätherleib und astralischen Leib, bis sie dem Ich bewußt werden. Im astralischen Leib drücken sich die Wirkungen dessen aus, was auf den physischen Leib ausgeübt wird. Wenn Lichteindrücke stattfinden, so empfängt das Auge Eindrücke. Der Lichteindruck gibt einen Eindruck auf den Äther- und Astralleib, und das Ich wird sich dieses Eindruckes bewußt. So verhält es sich auch mit den Eindrücken auf das Ohr und die anderen Sinne. Dieses ganze Tagesleben wirkt daher den ganzen Tag über auf den Astralkörper ein. Der Astralkörper ist immer tätig unter der Einwirkung der Außenwelt. Jetzt tritt er abends heraus. Da hat er in sich keine Kräfte, um die Eindrücke bewußt werden zu lassen, die jetzt in seiner Umgebung sind. Die alten Kräfte des Wahrnehmens in der urfernen Vergangenheit sind ertötet worden beim ersten Wahrnehmen der gegenwärtigen Sinneswelt. In der Nacht hat er keine Kräfte, weil das ganze Tagesleben ungeeignet ist, etwas im astralischen Leib zurückzulassen, was bildend auf den Astralleib wirken könnte. Alle Dinge, wie Sie sie ringsherum anschauen, üben Wirkungen bis auf den Astralleib aus. Aber was da bewirkt wird, ist nicht in der Lage, Gestaltungen zu schaffen, die zu astralen Organen werden könnten. Das muß der erste Schritt der Einweihung sein: den Menschen während des Tageslebens etwas tun zu lassen, in seiner Seele sich etwas abspielen zu lassen, was fortwirkt, wenn der astralische Leib in der Nacht herausgezogen wird aus dem physischen und Ätherleib. Also denken Sie sich, bildlich gesprochen, es würde, während der Mensch bei vollem Bewußtsein ist, ihm etwas gegeben, was er zu tun hätte, was er abspielen lassen sollte und was so gewählt wäre, so gegliedert, daß es nicht aufhörte zu wirken, wenn der Tag vorüber ist. Denken Sie sich diese Wirkung als einen Ton, der fortklingt, wenn der Astralleib heraus ist; dieses Fortklingen wären dann die Kräfte, die nun an dem astralischen Leib so wirkten, so plastisch arbeiteten, wie einstmals die äußeren Kräfte am physischen Körper gearbeitet haben. Das war immer der erste Schritt der Einweihung: den Menschen während des Tageslebens etwas tun zu lassen, was nachklingt im Nachtleben. Alles das, was man genannt hat Meditation, Konzentration und die sonstigen Übungen, die der Mensch vorgenommen hat während seines Tageslebens, sie sind nichts anderes als Verrichtungen der Seele, die nicht in ihren Wirkungen ersterben, wenn der Astralleib herausgeht, sondern die nachklingen und in der Nacht zu bildenden Kräften werden im astralischen Leib.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":668,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-18/p015"},{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-18/p016","passage_number":16,"text":"Das nennt man die Reinigung des Astralleibes, die Reinigung von dem, was dem Astralleib nicht angemessen ist.
