If we consider the forces which shape the human head—of course you must not think of the physical substances, but of the formative forces, of that which gives to the head its physiognomy, its entire character, its phrenological expression—if we consider these forces, we find them to be those of the metabolic and limb system belonging to the previous incarnation which have now become *form*. Thus we have in the head the transformation of the earlier metabolic organism, and if we consider what we possess as a metabolic and limb system in this present incarnation, these formative forces are found to be undergoing a metamorphosis and shaping the head for our next incarnation. Therefore, if we understand the building of the human form we can, as it were, look back, through a corresponding development of the idea of metamorphosis, from the human head of today to the metabolic system of the previous incarnation; and we can look from the present metabolic system forward to the head formation of the next incarnation.

Ich erinnere an etwas, das die meisten von Ihnen bereits von mir gehört haben. Wenn der Mensch durch den Tod geht, so bleibt ja der physische Leib in den Erdenkräften zurück; der ätherische Leib löst sich auf in die kosmischen Kräfte hinein und der Mensch findet weiter sein Leben, sein Dasein durch die Gebiete, die da liegen zwischen dem Tod und einer neuen Geburt. Nun sagte ich, daß wir am Menschen selbst die Formkräfte verfolgen können, die von einem Leben in das andere hinüberragen. Wir wissen ja, daß der Mensch im wesentlichen ein dreigliedriges Wesen ist mit drei selbständigen Gliedern. Ich meine zunächst in bezug auf die Formkräfte des physischen Leibes, der physischen Organisation. Wir haben die Nerven-Sinnesorganisation, die natürlich über den ganzen Leib sich ausbreitet, aber wesentlich im Haupte lokalisiert ist, wir haben die rhythmische Organisation, Atmungsrhythmus, Zirkulationsrhythmus und andere Rhythmen; dann haben wir die Stoffwechsel-Gliedmaßenorganisation, die wir als eine zusammenfassen, weil ja das Bewegen des Menschen organisch innig zusammenhängt mit dem Stoffwechsel. Sie wissen ja, jeder Mensch hat ein anders geformtes Haupt. Wenn wir nun diese Kräfte nehmen, die das Haupt des Menschen formen — Sie dürfen natürlich dabei nicht an die physischen Substanzen denken, sondern an die Formkräfte, an dasjenige, was dem Haupte seine Physiognomie, seinen ganzen Charakter, seinen phrenologischen Ausdruck gibt —, wenn wir diese Kräfte nehmen, so sind das die in die Form übergegangenen Kräfte aus dem Gliedmaßen-Stoffwechselorganismus der vorigen Inkarnation. Also wir haben im Haupte, im Kopfe, die metamorphosische Umbildung des Gliedmaßen-Stoffwechselmenschen der vorigen Inkarnation. Und wenn wir wiederum das nehmen, was wir als unsere Gliedmaßen, als unseren Gliedmaßen-Stoffwechselorganismus in dieser Inkarnation haben, so gehen diese Formkräfte eine Metamorphose ein und bilden unser Haupt für die nächste Inkarnation. Also wir können, wenn wir die menschliche Gestaltung verstehen, direkt durch eine entsprechende Ausbildung des metamorphosischen Gedankens gewissermaßen vom heutigen menschlichen Haupte zurückblicken auf die Gliedmaßen-Stoffwechselorganisation der vorigen Inkarnation, und wir können von der jetzigen Gliedmaßen-Stoffwechselorganisation blicken auf die Hauptesorganisation der nächsten Inkarnation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":342,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-02/p003"}],"english":["GA 205/1921-07-02/p003","GA 205/1921-07-02/p004","GA 205/1921-07-02/p005"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":342,"en_words":388,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6018,"original_word_count":6058,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"May Laird-Brown","identified_edition":"AP1946","book_title":"Psychoanalysis in the Light of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/Psych/English/AP1946/19210702p02.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","note":"rsarchive's lecture list spells the credit 'Mary Laird-Brown'; the lecture pages of this edition print 'May Laird-Brown', which is served.","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
