Under normal conditions this etheric body is assimilated by the cosmos. This absorption is somewhat complicated, as I have shown you in many different ways. Before the Mystery of Golgotha, however, and even after Golgotha, particularly in the Eastern regions, something quite distinctive was possible. When the human being after death surrenders such an etheric body, certain beings are able to inhabit this etheric body; they then become etheric beings with these etheric bodies that have been laid aside by human beings. In Eastern regions, therefore, it now happens that not dead people but all kinds of demonic spirits are induced to inhabit etheric bodies laid aside by human beings. Such demonic spirits that inhabit the etheric bodies laid aside by human beings are taken into the Eastern lodges. The Western lodges thus have the dead who have been directly confined within matter; the Eastern lodges of the left have demonic spirits, spirits that do not belong to earthly evolution but who creep into earthly evolution by occupying the etheric bodies vacated by human beings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Aber vor dem Mysterium von Golgatha, und auch noch nach dem Mysterium von Golgatha, namentlich in östlichen Gegenden, war etwas ganz Bestimmtes möglich. Wenn der Mensch einen solchen Ätherleib abgibt nach dem Tode, so können gewisse Wesenheiten diesen Ätherleib beziehen; sie werden dann ätherische Wesenheiten mit solchen von den Menschen abgelegten Ätherleibern. So daß es vorkommt in östlichen Gegenden, daß, jetzt nicht tote Menschen, aber allerlei dämonische Geister veranlaßt werden, abgelegte Ätherleiber von Menschen anzuziehen. Und solche mit Ätherleibern von Menschen angetanen dämonischen Geister, die werden in die östlichen Logen aufgenommen.
