In the book *Occult Science—an Outline*[^1] you can read how the human being reached the stage where through the Spirits of Form he could be endowed with the germinal foundation for the ‘I’, the Ego. We know that man received the germ of his physical body from the Thrones, of his etheric body from the Spirits of Wisdom, of his astral body from the Spirits of Movement, and the germinal foundation for the ‘I’ from the Spirits of Form. Bearing this in mind we can say that man, in his outer stature, has been organised by the regular Spirits of Form into an Ego-bearing being and that this comes into manifestation in the first seven-year cycle of his life. But then the backward Spirits of Form who are the opponents of the regular Spirits of Form, put a stop to his growth. This is actually the antithesis of the first, most deeply inward experience in the human being, namely, the kindling of the consciousness of ‘I’—the Ego. This happens in the early years of life, in the innermost realm of being. The outermost manifestation, the form, is checked at a later age, as a final act. Thus we perceive two evolutionary—but antithetical—processes in the human being. Of the one I have said that it comes from without and moves inward, taking hold of the sentient soul and so on, in the twenty-first year of life. Then there is another evolution proceeding from within outwards until the growth of the physical form is checked. The one evolution, the regular evolution, proceeds from the spiritual to the corporeal, from within outwards and is of interest especially for education. The other evolution—which is a much less regular and also more individual process—proceeds from without inwards and, when the human being has reached a certain age, it comes to expression in the completion of the outermost principle—the physical body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":347,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/141/1913-01-14/p013","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.

Hence in the book *The Education of the Child in the Light of Anthroposophy* it was right to call attention to the first process of evolution which proceeds from within outwards, because it is only there that education is possible. On the other line of evolution—from without inwards—which is the line of individual development, it is impossible to make any actual impression. This is something of which account can be taken but which cannot be halted; neither can much be achieved in the way of education.

Und wir haben dargestellt, daß durch die Geister der Form - Sie können es selbst in der «Geheimwissenschaft im Umriß » nachlesen - der Mensch eigentlich in die Lage gekommen ist, die Anlage zum Ich zu bekommen. Wir wissen ja, daß durch die Throne der Mensch die physische Anlage, durch die Geister der Weisheit die ätherische Anlage, durch die Geister der Bewegung die astralische Anlage erhalten hat, und daß er also durch die Geister der Form die Anlage zu dem Ich in seinem physischen Leibe erhalten hat. Wenn wir dies ins Auge fassen, so können wir sagen, daß der Mensch in seinem äußeren Ausdruck durch die regulären Geister der Form zu einem Ich-Wesen zunächst hinorganisiert wird, und daß sich dies in seinem ersten Lebenszyklus ausdrückt; dann aber wird er durch die Widersacher dieser Geister der Form, durch die zurückgebliebenen Geister der Form, in seinem Wachstum aufgehalten. Damit haben wir in der Tat den Gegensatz zu demjenigen kennengelernt, was als erstes, als Innerlichstes zugleich beim Menschen auftritt: das Aufblitzen des Ich-Bewußtseins. Das tritt schon in den ersten Jahren auf, das Innerste. Das Äußerste, die Form, wird erst in späteren Jahren aufgehalten; das ist sozusagen ein Schlußakt. Damit haben wir die zwei Evolutionen im Menschen kennengelernt als etwas Entgegengesetztes. Von der einen habe ich gesagt: Sie kommt von außen und geht nach innen, sie ergreift im einundzwanzigsten Jahre die Empfindungsseele und so weiter. -— Dann haben wir eine andere Entwickelung der Tatsachen: diese geht von innen nach außen - bis zum Aufhalten des Wachstums der Form. Es geht vom Geistigen ins Körperliche die eine Entwickelung. Die regelmäßige, die vorzugsweise für die Erziehung interessant ist, sie geht von innen nach außen. Die andere, die viel unregelmäßiger, individueller ist, geht von außen nach innen und drückt sich aus, wenn der Mensch ein bestimmtes Alter erreicht hat, in dem Abschluß des Äußerlichsten, des physischen Leibes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":337,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/141/1913-01-14/p013"},{"locus":"GA 141/1913-01-14/p014","passage_number":14,"text":"So haben wir zwei im entgegengesetzten Sinne wirkende Entwickelungslinien im Menschen.
