You know from the innumerable times we have referred to it that man can only be understood when we know that he has a fourfold structure of physical body, etheric body, astral body and ego. These four members of man's being are connected with and dependent on one another in the most manifold ways. Each member influences the other, and therefore they are in constant connection one with another. But this cooperation is very complicated. It takes a very long time for man to get to know these connections as well as the relationship of these members to certain forces, processes and beings in the cosmos as a whole. For man has a connection with the cosmos through each of his members; a connection which is continuous—and this again is very important—but which is also variable. What we know as the physical body, etheric body and so on are connected with one another but also with the cosmos, the whole world about us. For what we have within us is also to a certain extent outside us, and so we could say that we can best get to know these inner and outer connections if we observe man both in a waking and sleeping state.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Sie alle wissen - es ist das ja unzählige Male hier erwähnt worden -, daß man den Menschen nur erkennen kann, wenn man ihn versteht aus dem Aufbau seiner vier Glieder, dem physischen Leib, dem Ätherleib, dem Astralleib und dem Ich. Diese vier Glieder der Menschennatur stehen in den mannigfaltigsten Beziehungen und gegenseitigen Abhängigkeiten. Jedes Glied wirkt auf das andere und somit wirken sie durchaus im Zusammenhang miteinander. Aber dieses Zusammenwirken ist ein sehr kompliziertes. Der Mensch kann diese Zusammenhänge nur sehr langsam und allmählich kennenlernen, ebenso die Beziehungen dieser Glieder zu gewissen Kräften, Vorgängen und Wesenheiten im ganzen Kosmos. Denn der Mensch steht durch alle seine Glieder in einer fortdauernden - und das ist auch wieder sehr wichtig —, und zwar wechselnden Verbindung mit dem Kosmos. Was wir erkennen als physischen Leib, Ätherleib und so weiter hängt miteinander zusammen, aber ebenso auch mit dem Kosmos, mit der ganzen um uns sich ausbreitenden Welt. Denn das, was wir in uns haben, ist in einer gewissen Weise auch draußen, außer uns, und so dürfen wir sagen, daß wir diese Beziehungen nach innen und außen wohl am besten erkennen, wenn wir einmal den Menschen im wachenden und im schlafenden Zustande betrachten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":220,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/107/1908-12-21/p005"}],"english":["GA 107/1908-12-21/p005"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":220,"en_words":227,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4295,"original_word_count":4111,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Pauline Wehrle","identified_edition":"RSP1981","book_title":"The Being of Man and His Future Evolution","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA107/English/RSP1981/19081221p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
