If we disregard such important laws between the ages of seven and fourteen, then from the age of fourteen or fifteen a properly developing astral body cannot arise out of an inadequately developed etheric body. And now let us assume that we are dealing with a person who has brought special powers with him from previous lives, good and strong abilities, but for which he needs an astral body that can be ignited by high ideals. It depends, for example, on the astral body that one can flare up with righteous anger when one sees an injustice in one's surroundings, long before one can judge it in independent, clear thinking. Such qualities of a healthy astral body would have to be present, according to the nature of the person concerned, because he needs them so that what lives in him after his previous incarnations can come out. Now let us assume that we have neglected the principles that must be observed in order for the astral body to be born capable of devotion and enthusiasm at the age of 14 or 15. Then, despite significant talents, great abilities brought from earlier, the possibility of developing these talents is still lacking because the astral body does not allow these talents to emerge. It does not have those forces, those currents, which the I, which passes from embodiment to embodiment, must use to unfold its abilities. Now we have an I that could develop high abilities; but the organs of the astral body, through which this I could express its abilities, are crippled. The developmental current that regulates the progress of the sheaths has not come into its own.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.
