It is dim and nebulous, and not yet irradiated by the light of the Ego. When man became earth-man, this consciousness was outshone by the Ego-consciousness. The astral body, however, is still within us, and we might ask how it was that our astral consciousness could be so dimmed and eliminated that the Ego-consciousness could fully take its place? This became possible because through man's impregnation by the Ego, the earlier connection between the astral body and the etheric body was greatly loosened. The earlier and more intimate connection was, so to speak, dissolved. Thus before the Ego-consciousness, there existed a far more intimate relationship between man's astral body and the lower members of his being. The astral body penetrated further into the other members than it does today. In a certain respect the astral body has been wrested from the etheric and physical bodies.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Dieses astralische Bewußtsein ist beim Menschen, als er Erdenmensch geworden ist, überleuchtet worden, übertönt worden von dem Ich-Bewußtsein. Nun ist aber der astralische Leib noch immer in uns, und wir können fragen: Wodurch ist das geschehen, daß unser astralisches Bewußtsein überhaupt hat übertönt, ausgeschaltet werden können, so daß das Ich-Bewußtsein ganz an seine Stelle treten konnte? -— Das wurde dadurch möglich, daß durch die Befruchtung des Menschen mit dem Ich die frühere Verbindung zwischen astralischem Leib und Ätherleib zu einer viel loseren gemacht worden ist. Es ist sozusagen die frühere innigere Verbindung gelöst worden. Also es war vor dem Ich-Bewußtsein eine viel innigere Verbindung vorhanden zwischen dem astralischen Leib des Menschen und den niedrigeren Gliedern seiner Wesenheit. Es drängte sich der astralische Leib viel mehr hinein in die andern Glieder, als er es heute tut.
