Yesterday indeed we saw how first of all we have to point to man's head. In a certain sense this human head is really a kind of independent form of being. You can picture to yourselves the human skeleton and how easily the head can be detached; it can be lifted off like a ball. It is true that in reality the separation between the three members of man's nature is not so simple that we can describe what can thus easily be lifted off like a ball as the head part. Things are not so definitely separated. We have gradually to work ourselves away from the purely diagrammatic away too, from what nature herself suggests, to a living feeling, a living experience And, as you saw, I had yesterday to draw not indeed three circles lying next each other, but one circle for the head, a second circle that overlapped the head, and a third circle that overlapped both the others. So that if we would draw threefold man diagrammatically in accordance with his physical nature, we should have to show him thus: Head part (see circle *A* in diagram 1; body (oval); and the limb-system; really three balls even if these balls have to be drawn out longwise. With the head part, with what is here shown as the red circle A, is connected the spiritual which is, as you saw yesterday, a young formation (see small yellow circle) This spiritual part of the head is a young spiritual formation whereas the head itself is an old physical formation, a physical form-being. For the head, what is applied to man in general is pre-eminently right; it is not right when applied thus in general but for the head it is right. What with regard to the head, I have shown here as white, spiritual, is outside the head when you are asleep. When you are awake it is united with the head and then for the most part inside the physical head. It is therefore separated most easily from the physical head, going out and coming back inside again.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Threefold Man and Cosmic Consciousness 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.

Es ist ja durchaus so, daß aus unserem gegenwärtigen Geistesleben heraus wenig Empfindungen vorhanden sind für das Verständnis des Wesens des Menschen, so wie es erfaßt werden muß vom geisteswissenschaftlichen Standpunkte. Allein, wir müssen uns doch bemühen, an dieses Menschenwesen heranzukommen. Die wichtigsten Vorstellungen, die man auch über das Gesamtleben des Menschen gewinnen muß, über die Entwickelung des Menschen zwischen dem Tode und einer neuen Geburt, auch sie sind nur zu beherrschen, wenn man ausgeht von einem solchen Verständnisse, das an diesen dreigeteilten Menschen anknüpft.

In einem gewissen Sinne ist dieses Haupt des Menschen wirklich eine Art selbständige Formwesenheit. Sie können sich ja selber hinstellen vor ein Menschenskelett, und Sie können leicht das Haupt abheben. Wie eine Kugel können Sie es abheben. In Wirklichkeit ist allerdings die Trennung zwischen den drei Gliedern der menschlichen Natur nicht so einfach, daß man sagen könnte: Dasjenige, was man da vom übrigen Skelett so bequem abhebt wie eine Kugel, das ist dieser Hauptesteil. -— So streng sind die Dinge nicht geschieden. Aber man muß sich ja allmählich herausarbeiten aus dem bloßen Schematismus, auch aus dem, den einem die Natur selbst nahelegt, zu einer lebendigen Empfindung. Und ich mußte ja gestern schon, wie Sie gesehen haben, nicht etwa drei nebeneinanderliegende Kreise aufzeichnen, sondern einen Kreis für das Haupt, einen zweiten Kreis, der dieses Haupt übergriff, und einen dritten Kreis, der wiederum beide übergriff. So daß, wenn man schematisch den dreigeteilten Menschen zeichnen würde nach seiner physischen Wesenheit, man eben ihn so zu zeichnen haben würde, daß man sagt: Der Hauptesteil (siehe Zeichnung roter Kreis A), der Rumpfteil (oval, gelb), und dann der Gliedmaßenteil (orange) -, eigentlich drei Kugeln, wenn auch diese Kugeln in die Länge gezogen werden müssen. Mit dem Hauptesteil, also mit dem, was hier als roter Kreis A bezeichnet worden ist, mit diesem Hauptesteil steht das Geistige, das, wie Sie gestern gesehen haben, eine junge Bildung ist, im Zusammenhange (hellschraffhierter kleiner Kreis, weiß). Dieses Geistige des Hauptes, das ist eine junge geistige Bildung, während das Haupt selbst eine alte physische Bildung, eine physische Formwesenheit ist. Bei dem Haupte ist daher vor allen Dingen richtig, was man sonst im allgemeinen für den Menschen anführt, was aber in dieser Allgemeinheit, wie man es anführt, nicht ganz richtig ist; für das Haupt ist es richtig. Was ich hier als Weißes, Geistiges bezeichnet habe in bezug auf das Haupt, das ist, wenn Sie schlafen, heraußen aus dem Haupte. Wenn Sie wachen, ist es mit dem Haupt vereinigt, ist zum größten Teile im physischen Haupte drinnen. Es kann sich also am leichtesten vom physischen Haupte trennen; es geht heraus und geht wiederum zurück, hinein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":370,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/183/1918-08-25/p004"}],"english":["GA 183/1918-08-25/p003","GA 183/1918-08-25/p004"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":474,"en_words":455,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 183/1918-08-25/p003","GA 183/1918-08-25/p004"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6522,"original_word_count":6517,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LRZ254","book_title":"Mysteries of the Sun and of the Threefold Man","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA183/English/LRZ254/19180825p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
