Through this we understand waking and sleeping in the same sense in which we understand many other things in this world, as a permeation by one another of the various members of the human entity. If we consider a waking person from this point of view, we shall say that in him are present the four members of the human entity, the physical body, etheric body, astral body, and the Ego, and that they are linked together in a certain way. What results from this? The fact of ‘being awake.’ For we could not be awake were we not so to descend into our corporeality that our attention is distracted by the external world. Whether we are awake or not depends upon a certain regulated co-operation of our four members. And again, whether we are asleep or not depends upon the proper separation of our four members. It is not enough to say that we consist of physical body, etheric body, astral body, and Ego, for we understand man only when we know to what extent the various members are linked together in a certain state, and how intimately they are connected. This is necessary to an understanding of human nature. Now let us examine how these four members of man are linked together in the case of a normal person. Let us set out from the standpoint that the condition of man when awake is the normal condition.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Dadurch verstehen wir Wachen und Schlafen in jenem Sinne, in welchem wir mancherlei in der Welt verstehen müssen: als das Sich-Durchdringen der verschiedenen Glieder der menschlichen Wesenheit. Betrachten wir von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus einen wachenden Menschen, so sagen wir: In dem wachenden Menschen stecken darinnen vier Glieder der menschlichen Wesenheit: physischer Leib, Ätherleib, astralischer Leib und Ich, und sie stecken in einer bestimmten Weise ineinander. Was folgt daraus? Eben das Wachen! Denn es könnte der Mensch nicht wachen, wenn er nicht so hineinsteigen würde in seine Leiblichkeit, daß die Aufmerksamkeit durch die Außenwelt abgelenkt würde. Gerade von einem ganz bestimmten, geregelten Zusammenwirken der vier Glieder des Menschen hängt es ab, daß der Mensch wacht. Und wieder von dem richtigen Getrenntsein seiner vier Glieder hängt es ab, daß der Mensch schläft. Wir reichen damit nicht aus, daß wir sagen: Der Mensch besteht aus physischem Leib, Ätherleib, astralischem Leib und Ich, sondern wir verstehen den Menschen erst dann, wenn wir wissen, in welchem Grade die verschiedenen Glieder bei einem bestimmten Zustande miteinander verknüpft sind, wie sie ineinanderstecken. Das ist das Wesentliche für die Erkenntnis der menschlichen Natur. Nun betrachten wir die Art des Zusammengefügtseins der vier Glieder des Menschen, wie es uns beim wachenden Menschen entgegentritt, als das Normale. Wir wollen einmal von diesem Begriff ausgehen: als das Normale den Zustand des wachenden Menschen zu betrachten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/120/1910-05-21/p014"}],"english":["GA 120/1910-05-21/p014"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":274,"en_words":295,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6440,"original_word_count":6592,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSP1984","book_title":"Manifestations of Karma","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA120/English/RSP1984/19100521p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
