Thus the etheric body may truly be called a narrator; it recounts the story of the growth of the world. While the physical body of man is like a sum-total of pictures painted by an unknown artist, the etheric body proves to be a kind of story-teller who narrates in its own inner happenings the story of the world itself. And the more deeply a person is engaged in occult development, the wider the range of the stories. The etheric body of a person who has undergone comparatively little occult development manifests to the clairvoyant vision perhaps only a few generations which have preceded him in physical ancestry—for this development is still also shown in the etheric body of man. But the further a person carries his occult development, the more possible it becomes to see in his etheric body the various civilisations of humanity, the various incarnations of this or that individuality; yea, even to ascend to cosmic development and see the share of the Spirits of the Higher Hierarchies in it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture X","site_heading":"Physical and Spiritual Transformation Through Occult Development","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Ein Mensch, der verhältnismäßig wenig in okkulter Entwicklung begriffen ist, der zeigt in seinem Ätherleib vielleicht für den hellseherischen Blick ein paar Generationen, die ihm in physischer Vererbung vorangegangen sind; denn dieses Werden zeigt sich auch noch im Ätherleib des Menschen.
