Man ist dann im äußeren Lichtäther und schaut die Bewegungen seines Lichtleibes. Warum kann man das nicht im gewöhnlichen Leben? Warum geschieht es nicht, wenn zum Beispiel Fräulein Scholl der Gräfin Kalckreuth gegenübertritt und sie wiedererkennt - ich nehme jetzt an, daß ein Hellsehen nicht vorliegt -, daß unter gewöhnlichen Umständen Fräulein Scholl sich an ihr Erinnerungsbild, das heißt, an ein Vorstellungsbild von der Gräfin Kalckreuth erinnert und nicht wahrnimmt, was sie sonst wahrnehmen könnte: das innere Schwingen ihres Ätherleibes, so daß sie das innere Erlebnis haben würde: Aha, so hat mein Ätherleib immerfort geschwungen, wenn er der Gräfin Kalckreuth gegenübergetreten ist? - Licht würde dann Licht wahrnehmen, nämlich das Äußere, weil das Ich und der astralische Leib von Fräulein Scholl die Bewegungen, die immerwährend tendierten Bewegungen des eigenen Lichtleibes wahrnehmen würde und diese in der richtigen Weise so zu deuten wüßte, daß sie auch sagen würde: Das sind die Bewegungen, die mein Lichtleib immer ausgeführt hat, wenn ich der Gräfin Kalckreuth gegenübergestanden habe.
