If we think that we leave it inside, how would we stand in the world? Imagine that everything you detach from your organism, so to speak, so that you can control it at will with your ego, with your personality, everything would surge in your organism. You would not say: I will – but you would feel the surging of your blood that drives you to your movements; you would not say: I take up the pen – but you would feel the mechanism of your arm muscles. You would feel yourself inside, losing yourself in the world, if you did not tear the world of phantasms away from your organism. Your independence would disappear. What moves within you, what lives within you, would be only a continuation within your skin of what is outside. Man must therefore say to himself: the grass grows out of certain forces outside my skin, within my skin my spleen grows, my liver; but I would not feel any difference if I could not tear my phantasms away from what organizes within me. Out there, I do not tear something away; I take the entity in its totality. Within my skin, I tear away the world of my phantasms. In this way I come to my independence. This is how we can find the bed, the substrate for the 'I'-ness in man. That is the other pole of inner experience.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirteenth Lecture","site_heading":"Ideas and Growth Forces: Bridging Prenatal and Posthumous Existence","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.

Denken wir, wir ließen sie drinnen, wie stünden wir dann da in der Welt? Denken Sie sich, alles das, was Sie gewissermaßen innerlich loslösen von Ihrem Organismus, sodaß Sie es mit Ihrem Ich, mit Ihrer Persönlichkeit willentlich beherrschen, alles das würde wallen in Ihrem Organismus. Sie würden nicht sagen: Ich will - sondern Sie würden verspüren das Wallen Ihres Blutes, das Sie zu Ihren Bewegungen treibt; Sie würden nicht sagen: Ich ergreife die Feder sondern Sie würden verspüren den Mechanismus Ihrer Armmuskeln. Sie würden sich drinnenfühlen sich verlierend in der Welt, wenn Sie nicht losreißen würden die Welt der Phantasmen von Ihrem Organismus. Ihre Selbständigkeit verschwände. Was sich in Ihnen bewegt, was in Ihnen lebt, wäre nur eine Fortsetzung innerhalb Ihrer Haut von dem, was draußen wäre. Der Mensch muß sich daher sagen: Da wächst das Gras aus gewissen Kräften heraus außerhalb meiner Haut, innerhalb meiner Haut wächst meine Milz, meine Leber; aber ich würde nicht einen Unterschied empfinden, wenn ich nicht losreißen könnte meine Phantasmen von dem, was in meinem Inneren organisierend wirkt. Da draußen reiße ich nicht etwas los, da nehme ich die Wesenheit in ihrer Totalität. Innerhalb meiner Haut reiße ich los die Welt meiner Phantasmen. Dadurch komme ich zu meiner Selbständigkeit. — Dadurch ist es überhaupt möglich, daß wir das Beet, den Untergrund für die Ichheit im Menschen finden.
