The form these illnesses take is connected with the whole nature of man. If someone to-day has bad moral traits, these may, to begin with, be confined to the life of soul. Because in the modern age the soul does not dominate the body to the extent that it did at the time of Christ Jesus, not every sin will come to expression in an external illness. We are, however, approaching conditions when the etheric body will again emerge and when the greatest care will have to be taken lest the bad traits of the soul, both in a moral and intellectual respect, should manifest physically as illnesses. Many of those semi-psychic, semi-bodily diseases—the so-called ‘nervous’ diseases characteristic of our time—are evidence that this epoch is already beginning. Because in their desires and their thoughts men have absorbed the disharmonies reigning in the outer world to-day, such factors can naturally only express themselves in phenomena such as hysteria and similar disorders.

The sin that is actually seated in the astral body and manifests as illness, is called ‘possession’ in the Gospel of St. Luke. It is the condition that sets in when a man attracts alien spirits into his astral body and when his better qualities fail to give him mastery over his whole nature. In human beings in whom the old state of separation between the etheric and physical bodies still persisted, the effects of evil qualities and attributes expressed themselves conspicuously at that time in forms of illness manifesting as ‘possession’. The Gospel of St. Luke tells how such people were healed through the mere proximity and the words of the Individuality now in Christ Jesus and how the evil power working in them was expelled.

(Luke V, 17–26). ‘The healing of one paralysed’ would be the correct rendering, for the Greek text here has the word ‘paralelymenos’, denoting one whose limbs are paralysed. It was still known in those times that these forms of illness are due to qualities of the *etheric body*. When it is said that Christ Jesus healed those who were paralysed, this shows that by the power of his Individuality, effects were produced not only in astral bodies but in etheric bodies too, so that it was possible for men with defects in the etheric body also to be healed. Precisely when Christ speaks of ‘deeper sin’—sin which reaches into the etheric body—He uses a particular expression, clearly indicating that the spiritual factor causing the illness must first be removed. He does not immediately say to the paralysed man: “Stand up and walk!” but concerns Himself with the cause that is penetrating as illness into the etheric body, and says: “Thy sins are forgiven thee!”—meaning that the sin which had eaten its way right into the etheric body must first be expelled. Ordinary biblical research does not enter into these fine distinctions; it does not perceive that what is here being shown is that this Individuality had an influence upon the secrets of the astral body and the etheric body—even upon those of the physical body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":278,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/114/1909-09-24/p039","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1909-09-24","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 114/1909-09-24/p029","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/114/1909-09-24/p029"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":273,"en_words":278,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Something then takes place in his astral body; he hears the word and suffers pain in his astral body. That is an example of mutual action between one astral body and another. Mutual action between one etheric body and another is far more deeply hidden; this involves delicate influences which play from man to man but are never perceived to-day. The most deeply hidden of all are the influences which reach the physical body, because owing to its dense materiality it conceals the working of the spiritual most completely. In the Gospel of St. Luke, however, we are also to be shown that Christ Jesus has power over the physical body. Here we come to a passage that would be quite incomprehensible to materialistic thinkers.

So too, if he would understand the conditions relating to the physical body, man must know that in respect of his physical organism he belongs to humanity as a whole, that influences are continually passing from one human being to another, and that he can in no way separate his physical health as an individual from the health of the whole of humanity.

Weil die Seele heute nicht jene Herrschaft über den Leib hat, die sie zur Zeit des Christus Jesus hatte, so wird nicht leicht jede Sünde auch zu einer äußeren Krankheit. Nach und nach nähern wir uns schon jenem Zustande wieder, wo der Atherleib wieder herausrückt.

Diese Zeit fängt jetzt schon an. Und viele von jenen Krankheiten, die als halb seelische, halb körperliche Krankheiten — die nervösen Erkrankungen unserer Zeit — hingestellt werden, bezeichnen den Anfang dieser Epoche.

Bei jenen Menschen, die noch die alte Trennung des Ätherleibes vom physischen Leibe hatten, äußerte es sich in hervorragendem Maße in jenen Zeiten darin, daß schlechte Eigenschaften, schlechte Qualitäten so wirkten, wie sie uns der Schreiber des Lukas-Evangeliums als Krankheitsformen schildert, die sich als Besessenheit darstellen. - Nun zeigt uns das Lukas-Evangelium, wie solche Menschen durch die Nähe und den Zuspruch jener Individualität, die in dem Christus Jesus war, geheilt wurden, wie das, was als Böses wirkte, aus solchen Individualitäten herausgetrieben wurde.

Eigentlich sollte es heißen die «Heilung eines Gelähmten», denn im griechischen Texte steht an dieser Stelle das Wort «paralelym&nos»; das bedeutet einen, der an seinen Gliedern gelähmt ist. Von diesen Krankheitsformen wußte man in jenen Zeiten noch, daß sie von den Eigenschaften des Ätherleibes herrühren. Und indem uns geschildert wird, daß der Christus Jesus auch solche heilt, die gelähmt sind, wird uns gesagt, daß durch die Kräfte seiner Individualität nicht nur Wirkungen bis in die Astralleiber hinein erzielt werden, sondern bis in die Atherleiber, so daß auch solche Menschen, die in ihrem Atherleibe schadhaft sind, heilende Wirkungen erleben können. Gerade wo der Christus von dem spricht, was als «tiefere Sünde» bis in den Atherleib hinein seinen Sitz hat, da gebraucht er einen besonderen Ausdruck. Das weist ersichtlich darauf hin, daß das krankmachende Geistige erst weggeschafft werden muß; denn er spricht nicht gleich zu dem Gelähmten: «Stehe auf und wandle», sondern er geht auf die Ursache, die als Krankheit bis in den Ätherleib hinein wirkt, und sagt: «Deine Sünden sind dir vergeben», das heißt: was sich als Sünde in den Atherleib hineingefressen hat, das muß erst fort. Auf diese feineren Unterscheidungen geht aber die gewöhnliche Bibelforschung nicht ein, sie sieht nicht, daß hier gezeigt ist, wie diese Individualität Einfluß hatte auf die Geheimnisse des Astralleibes und auch auf die des Atherleibes. Ja, sie hatte sogar auf die Geheimnisse des physischen Leibes Einfluß.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":273,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/114/1909-09-24/p029"},{"locus":"GA 114/1909-09-24/p030","passage_number":30,"text":"Warum wird in diesem Zusammenhange von den Geheimnissen des physischen Leibes als sozusagen von den obersten Geheimnissen gesprochen? Sogar für das äußere Leben ist zunächst die Einwirkung von Astralleib zu Astralleib die offenbarste. Sie können einen Menschen verletzen, wenn Sie zum Beispiel ein haßerfülltes Wort sagen. Das ist ein Vorgang in seinem astralischen Leibe. Er hört das verletzende Wort, er empfindet das als Leid in seinem astralischen Leibe. Da haben Sie den Austausch zwischen Astralleib und Astralleib. Viel verborgener ist schon das, was Austausch ist zwischen Ätherleib und ÄAtherleib; dazu gehören schon feinere Wirkungen von Mensch zu Mensch, die heute gar nicht mehr beachtet werden. Aber die verborgensten sind die Wirkungen, welche auf den physischen Leib gehen, weil der physische Leib am meisten durch die dichte Materialität die Wirkungen des Geistigen verhüllt. Nun aber soll uns auch gezeigt werden, daß der Christus Jesus Herrschaft hat über den physischen Leib. Wie wird das gezeigt? Da berühren wir ein Kapitel, das den heutigen materialistisch denkenden Menschen ganz unverständlich sein würde. — Es ist gut, daß nur vorbereitete Kenner der Geisteswissenschaft bei diesem Zyklus beisammen sind; denn wer nur von der Straße hereinkäme, der würde das, was heute gesprochen wird, für ganzen Wahnsinn halten, auch wenn er das andere nur für halben oder viertel Wahnsinn hielte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":213,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/114/1909-09-24/p030"},{"locus":"GA 114/1909-09-24/p031","passage_number":31,"text":"Der Christus Jesus zeigt, daß er durchschauen kann durch die physische Leiblichkeit und bis in dieselbe hineinwirken kann.

Wenn man geistig wirken will, so kann man nicht den Menschen als ein in seiner Haut abgeschlossenes Wesen betrachten. Es ist hier schon oft gesagt worden, daß unser Finger gescheiter ist als wir. Unser Finger weiß, daß das Blut in ihm nur dadurch fließen kann, daß es in dem ganzen Leibe ordentlich fließt, und er weiß, daß er verdorren muß, wenn er von dem übrigen Organismus getrennt wird. So müßte der Mensch auch wissen, wenn er die Verhältnisse seines Leibes durchschauen würde, daß er seiner physischen Organisation nach zur ganzen Menschheit gehört, daß fortwährend Wirkungen von dem einen auf den anderen übergehen und daß man gar nicht seine physische Gesundheit als Einzelmensch abtrennen kann von der Gesundheit der ganzen Menschheit.
