The true and original human germ, the primal Vach, however, already contained the three following members in itself. Man may still expect three higher members as well, and then only will he be a true image of the Word of creation, the primal Word. It was pointed out to the pupil that only to the initiate could the true nature of the physical, etheric and astral bodies be made clear. Today man is himself only when he expresses his “I am,” when he keeps in mind what is entirely his own. Only then is he fully Man. The other members are manifest, but in them he is still unconscious. In the fourth, however, the Vach becomes manifest.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Primeval Human Form and Cosmic Initiation Mysteries","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.

Drei höhere Glieder hat der Mensch noch zu erwarten, dann wird er erst ein getreues Abbild des Schöpfungswortes, des Urwortes sein. Und darauf sollte der Schüler hingewiesen werden, daß nur dem Eingeweihten die wahre Natur des physischen, ätherischen und astralischen Leibes klar sein konnte. Heute ist der Mensch er selbst nur, wenn er sein «Ich bin» ausspricht, wenn er das ins Auge faßt, was ganz sein eigen ist. Nur da ist er ganz Mensch. Die anderen Glieder sind zwar auch offenbar, aber da ist er noch unbewußt. Aber im vierten ist die Väc offenbar geworden: «Im vierten spricht der. Mensch!» Das war der Satz des Veda. Wenn das Wort des Ich ertönt, so tönt der vierte Teil der Väc.
