That which has just now been said is based upon facts revealed as the result of spiritual investigation. We are not advancing theories, but actual cases which have been observed, and which can be investigated by the methods of Spiritual Science. We commenced this lecture by referring to the most ordinary facts—the healing powers of the etheric body of the plants. We then showed how through the addition of the astral body in the animals the etheric body is less active. And we saw further how through the reception of the Ego which develops an individual life for good or evil, truth and falsehood, the astral body which, in the case of the higher animals only hinders the healing power, again adds something new to man, namely the karmic influences of disease which flow into him out of the individual life. In the plant there are no inner causes of disease, because disease is still something outside, and the healing powers work without being weakened. In the lower animals we find an etheric body but with such healing powers that it can even replace certain parts; but the further we rise the more does the astral body imprint itself into the etheric body and thereby limit its healing powers. The animals do not survive in reincarnations; therefore that which is in the etheric body is not connected with any moral, intellectual or individual qualities, but only with the common type. In man, however, that which he experiences in his Ego works down into the etheric body. Why then do the experiences of childhood in the realm of feeling we have mentioned manifest themselves only in light diseases? Because we are able to find in the same life the causes of much that manifests itself as neurasthenia, neurosis, hysteria. But we shall have to look for the causes of severer cases of disease in the moral causes set up in the previous life because that which is experienced morally and intellectually can only be fully implanted in the etheric body on passing over to a new birth. On the whole, the etheric body of man cannot embody the deeper moral activities in one life, although we shall still hear of exceptional cases, and indeed of very important ones.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Bei den niederen Tieren haben wir noch einen Ätherleib mit solchen Heilkräften, daß er selbst Glieder ersetzen kann; aber je weiter wir hinaufsteigen, desto mehr prägt sich der astralische Leib dem Ätherleib ein, und dadurch schränkt der Astralleib die Heilkräfte des Ätherleibes ein. Aber weil sich die Tiere nicht in Reinkarnationen fortpflanzen, hängt das, was im Ätherleibe ist, nicht zusammen mit irgendwelchen moralisch-intellektuellen oder individuellen Qualitäten, sondern mit dem allgemeinen Typus.
