We have shown how the human being opens himself again to the outside world in his breathing and so forth, in order to enter into direct contact with the physical world. We may now go even further, since we have seen how hard it is to apply ordinary concepts to these things, and say that, so long as we confine ourselves to the inner man, we can go only as far as the alimentary canal; for, inasmuch as the extensions of the seven organs reach into the alimentary canal and show themselves there (the liver empties through the gall-bladder into the duodenum) and show their influence in the digestion, we at once disclose, through the impact of this inner cosmic system on the alimentary canal, something which amounts to the reopening of ourselves to the outer world. Thus it is really an opening outward when the human being declares himself ready to receive nutritive substances from without; and hence we need reckon the inner man only as far as the boundary of the alimentary canal. Then we have also another opening outward through the breathing, on the one hand, and on the other hand through the higher organs which serve the functions of the soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Er würde aber nicht eine Ausbildung des Ich-Bewußtseins erreichen können; das kann er nur erwerben, wenn er sich nicht bloß in seinem Inneren erlebt, sondern sich auch nach außen aufschließt. Hier haben wir wiederum ein Sichaufschließen nach außen zu verzeichnen. Wir haben ja schon früher davon gesprochen, wie es dem Menschen durch die Atmung möglich wird, unmittelbar mit der Außenwelt in Verbindung zu treten. Jetzt können wir weitergehen und sagen: Sofern wir den inneren Menschen betrachten, dürfen wir eigentlich nur bis zum Verdauungssystem gehen, denn wir können sagen: Insofern Ausläufer der Organe des inneren Weltsystems bis zum Verdauungskanal sich hinwenden, haben wir in diesem Anstoßen des inneren Weltsystems an den Verdauungskanal schon ein Sichaufschließen nach außen zu sehen, denn der Mensch ist gleichsam bereit, Nahrungsstoffe von außen aufzunehmen. Indem er mit aus der Umwelt entnommenen Nahrungsstoffen in enge Berührung tritt, ist er eigentlich schon nicht mehr nur innerlich. Ein weiteres Sichaufschließen nach außen haben wir kennengelernt in der Atmung, und in noch höherem Maße ist es zu erkennen in jenen Organen, die den seelischen Funktionen dienen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":218,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/128/1911-03-28/p012"}],"english":["GA 128/1911-03-28/p012","GA 128/1911-03-28/p013"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":218,"en_words":363,"ratio":1.67,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 128/1911-03-28/p012"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.33,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11683,"original_word_count":8803,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSPC1951","book_title":"An Occult Physiology","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA128/English/RSPC1951/19110328p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
