Only in this way can man become an *ego-being*. For it is not merely in the process of sensing the resistance in his own inner world, in his processes of secretion, but through the fact that he opens his inner world and senses the resistance of the outer world, that he is able to evolve his ego-consciousness. Thus it is really wholly in the fact that man reopens himself outward that we find the basis for his physical egohood. At the same time, however, he must also possess the capacity to develop the organ of this egohood in the most manifold ways. And we have seen how the organ for the ego here fits itself into the circulatory course of the blood, which in fact passes through all these inner organs, in order to serve throughout the whole human organisation as an instrument for the egohood. Just as the egohood permeates soul and spirit in the whole man, so does the circulatory course of the blood physically permeate his entire organisation. And this organisation thereby evolves these two sides, so to speak: the inner human being in the seven organs, the sympathetic nervous system, the system of tissues, and predominantly in the digestive apparatus, etc.; and the other side that again opens outward, coming into connection with the outer world, a real “circulation” in the highest sense of the word.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Dadurch erst kann der Mensch ein Ich-Wesen sein. Nur dadurch, daß er nicht nur die Widerstände in seinem eigenen Innern in seinen Absonderungsprozessen spürt, sondern auch die Widerstände, die die Außenwelt ihm entgegensetzt, kann der Mensch sein Ich-Bewußtsein entwickeln. So ist in der Tatsache, daß sich der Mensch auch wieder nach außen aufschließen kann, die Grundlage gegeben für die physische Ichheit des Menschen. Damit aber muß der Mensch auch die Möglichkeit haben, in der mannigfaltigsten Weise das Organ dieser Ichheit auszubilden. Und wir haben ja gesehen, wie in der Tat das Organ der Ichheit, das Blut, sich eingliedert in den Organismus und wie der Blutkreislauf alle Organe durchzieht, um ein Werkzeug zu sein für die Ichheit. So wie die Ichheit geistig-seelisch den gesamten Menschen durchlebt und durchwebt, so durchzieht physisch der Blutkreislauf den gesamten menschlichen Organismus und wendet sich dabei gleichsam nach zwei Seiten, nach dem Innenwesen des Menschen mit den sieben Organen und so weiter, und dann haben wir wieder ein Sichaufschließen nach außen, ein In-Verbindung-Treten mit der äußeren Welt.
