For we must also bear in mind the physical body. As to the physical body, it is especially important to observe in the first epoch of life how the human being places himself through his Karma into the world. The kind of physical body we have depends on this. For by our Karma we place ourselves into a certain family, belonging to a certain nation and so forth. Thus we get quite a definite kind of body. But not only so. Think how much the course of our life depends on the situation into which we place ourselves, in that we enter a certain family.

In our former incarnation we stood in this or that relation to this or that human being. (I mean now, not in a particular part of our life—for that belongs to a different chapter—but throughout our life.) All this we assimilate. We carry it through the gate of death, and through these forces we bring ourselves once more into a certain family, a certain situation or set of circumstances. Thus we may say: That which places our physical body into life and works on through our physical body—that is what shapes the situations of our life. (It goes on working, of course, through our succeeding lives.) And now it receives a counter-force through the Ego. The Ego works so to annul the given situations of our life. It battles against all that determines our circumstances. Thus we may say: The physical body works so to *create* life's situation; and the Ego works to *re-create* it. In the working together of these two-battling one with another—another stream of Karma enters our life. For? there is always present in man on the one hand what strives to maintain him in a certain situation, and on the other, what strives to lift him out of it. Thus I would say, primitively speaking, 1 and 4, and 2 and 3, work upon one another. (See the diagram at the end.) And in manifold other ways the four strings play together. The way we come into connection with fresh human beings in a given life according to our Karma, depends on 1 and 4 and their connections. And this leads back in turn to our relationships of life in former lives. The way we find our connections in calling, work and occupation depends on 2 and 3 and on their mutual interplay.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":346,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/172/1916-11-13/p031","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1916-11-13","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 172/1916-11-13/p021","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/172/1916-11-13/p021"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":388,"en_words":491,"ratio":1.27,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Für den physischen Leib kommt für die erste Lebensepoche vor allen Dingen in Betracht, wie der Mensch durch sein Karma sich hineinstellt in die Welt. Schon was wir für einen physischen Leib haben, hängt ja davon ab, denn wir stellen uns durch unser Karma in eine bestimmte Familie hinein, die einer bestimmten Nation und so weiter angehört. Dadurch bekommen wir einen ganz bestimmt gearteten Leib. Aber nicht nur, daß wir einen ganz bestimmt gearteten Leib bekommen, sondern wieviel, denken Sie, hängt ab von dem Verlauf unseres Lebens, von der Situation, in die wir uns hineinbegeben, indem wir uns in eine bestimmte Familie hineinstellen. Damit ist ja schon der Ausgangspunkt für unendlich vieles in unserem Leben gegeben. Und in der Tat, wirksam im physischen Leib, um den physischen Leib könnte man besser sagen, sind in der Zeit, in der sich der physische Leib besonders entwickelt, in den ersten sieben Lebensjahren, Kräfte, welche herrühren jetzt nicht aus ‘dem Beruflichen und Berufsmäßigen der vorhergehenden Inkarnation, sondern herrühren von dem, wie wir mit Menschen in der vorhergehenden Inkarnation zusammengelebt haben, indem wir in dieser oder jener Beziehung zu diesen oder jenen Menschen gestanden haben nicht in irgendeinem Lebensteil — das kommt auf ein anderes Gebiet -, sondern das ganze Leben hindurch. Das wird verarbeitet. Tiefe Beziehungen bilden sich ja heraus zu unserer Seele, indem wir zu Menschen in Beziehungen treten. Das tragen wir durch die Todespforte, und durch diese Kräfte bewirken wir, daß wir uns wieder in eine bestimmte Familie, in eine bestimmte Lebenssituation hineinstellen. So daß wir sagen können: Dasjenige, was schon gewissermaßen unseren physischen Leib hineinstellt, durch unseren physischen Leib wirkt, das ist das, was die Lebenssituation gestaltet. Das wirkt natürlich weiter durch das folgende Leben, und das erlangt jetzt die Gegenkraft durch das Ich. Das Ich wirkt auslöschend auf die Lebenssituationen, aber es wirkt im Kampfe mit dem, was determiniert in der Lebenssituation. So daß man sagen kann: Physischer Leib: Lebenssituation schaffend; Ich: Lebenssituation umschaffend. Durch das Zusammenwirken von diesen beiden, durch einen Kampf, den diese beiden bewirken, wird eine andere Karmaströmung ins Leben eingreifen. Denn immer ist vorhanden im Menschen das, was ihn in einer bestimmten Situation erhalten will, und das, was ihn herausheben will aus der bestimmten Situation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":388,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/172/1916-11-13/p021"}],"beads":[{"from":[30,31,32,33],"to":[21],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
