If we wish to study the laws underlying the foundation of the physical body we must look to super-sensible laws determining man's destiny. If we look towards that which rules in the astral body and finds its embodiment in the physical body, we have something that is not so spiritual, so super-sensible, but something that melts from the sense-perceptible into the super-sensible. For the part that falls away from the human embryo becomes so to say more and more atomistic. The nearer the human being approaches birth the more it dissolves materially and becomes increasingly spiritual. For that which is attached to the human being as astral body and etheric body has originated through the spiritualising of those parts of the embryonic sheaths which fall away.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Perception of the Nature of Thought","site_heading":null,"date":"1915-01-10","location":null,"word_count":141,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/161/1915-01-10/p017","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"M.

Im Grunde genommen ist alles das, was hier oben ist (über der Abgrenzung), der verborgene Teil der Menschennatur. Wenn wir die in der physischen Leibesanlage wirksamen Gesetze studieren wollen, müssen wir hinblicken auf das, was im Menschen schicksalbestimmende Gesetze, übersinnliche, schicksalbestimmende Gesetze sind. Wenn wir hinschauen auf das, was im Astralleibe waltet und seine Verkörperung findet im physischen Leibe, dann haben wir nicht so Geistiges, nicht so Übersinnliches, aber wir haben ein sich vom Sinnlichen ins Übersinnliche Auflösendes. Denn das, was da abfällt von dem menschlichen Embryo, das wird immer, ich möchte sagen, atomistischer und atomistischer, je mehr der Mensch zur Geburt heranreift; es geht materiell seiner Auflösung entgegen. Und in demselben Maße, in dem es materiell seiner Auflösung entgegengeht, wird es geistiger und geistiger, denn was sich da angliedert an den Menschen als astralischer Leib und ätherischer Leib, das entsteht durch die Vergeistigung dieser abfallenden Teile der Hüllen, der embryonalen Hüllen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":213,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/161/1915-01-10/p016"}],"english":["GA 161/1915-01-10/p016","GA 161/1915-01-10/p017"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":213,"en_words":186,"ratio":0.87,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6461,"original_word_count":6540,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"M.
