It is not surprising therefore that this is a condition of which we are not aware. Anyone unaware of sleep will be equally unaware of this condition. And yet it is a form of awakening! As our astral body will awake abnormally when it has sunk too deeply into the etheric and physical bodies, so will our etheric body awake in an abnormal manner when it penetrates too deeply into the physical body. But this will not be perceived by us, because it is an awakening to a consciousness even more vague than the consciousness of pain. Let us suppose that a person has really in an earlier life done something that between death and re-birth is so transformed that the etheric body itself awakens, that is, it takes intense possession of the physical body. If that happens there awakes within us a deep consciousness that cannot however be perceived in the same manner as other experiences of the human soul. Must it, however, be ineffectual because imperceptible? Let us try to explain the peculiar tendency acquired by a consciousness which lies still one degree deeper.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Kein Wunder daher, daß das auch ein Zustand ist, der vom Menschen gar nicht empfunden wird. Wie er nicht im Schlaf empfindet, so empfindet er auch jetzt diesen Zustand nicht. Und doch ist es ein Aufwachen! Wie unser astralischer Leib abnormerweise aufwacht, wenn er zu tief hinuntertaucht in den Ätherleib und physischen Leib, so wacht der Ätherleib in abnormer Weise auf, wenn er zu tief in den physischen Leib hineintaucht. Nur kann es der Mensch nicht wahrnehmen, weil es das Aufwachen zu einem noch dumpferen Bewußtsein als das Schmerzbewußtsein ist. Aber nehmen wir an, der Mensch hätte wirklich in einem früheren Leben so etwas vollzogen, was sich zwischen Tod und neuer Geburt dazu umwirkt, daß der Ätherleib für sich aufwacht, das heißt, intensiven Besitz ergreift vom physischen Leib. Wenn das geschehen ist, lebt auf im Menschen ein tiefes Bewußtsein, das aber nicht in der Weise wahrgenommen werden kann, wie die sonstigen Erlebnisse der menschlichen Seele wahrgenommen werden. Braucht es deshalb nicht zu wirken, weil es nicht wahrgenommen wird? Versuchen wir uns klarzumachen, was ein Bewußtsein für eine eigentümliche Tendenz erhält, wenn es anfängt, um einen Grad tiefer zu liegen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":215,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/120/1910-05-21/p026"}],"english":["GA 120/1910-05-21/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":215,"en_words":218,"ratio":1.01,"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.
