If we look at the human being schematically and have any organ, lung or liver in him, we have forces in such an organ. These forces are not merely inner human forces, these forces are world forces. And when everything that is the external physical world and appears to us as the physical world, when all this has once disappeared with the end of the earth, what now exists as the inner forces of our organs will continue to work. One might be tempted to say that everything our eyes can see and our ears can hear, the whole external world, will fade away with the end of the earth. What covers our skin, what we carry within us, what is enclosed by our organization, is what spiritually contains that which will continue to exist when the external world that our senses see will no longer be there. In essence, something works within the human skin that lives beyond the earth; within the human skin lie the centers, the forces of that which works beyond earthly existence. We do not stand as human beings in the world merely to enclose our organs for ourselves; we stand in the world as human beings so that the cosmos itself is formed within our skin. In that which our ordinary consciousness does not reach, we enclose something that does not merely belong to us, that belongs to the world. Is what belongs to the world built out of the chaotic processes of waking dreaming?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eighth Lecture","site_heading":"Cosmic Thought and Human Consciousness: Beyond Logic","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.

Wenn wir den Menschen schematisch anschauen und haben irgendein Organ, Lunge oder Leber in ihm, so haben wir in einem solchen Organe Kräfte. Diese Kräfte sind nicht bloß innere menschliche Kräfte, diese Kräfte sind Weltenkräfte. Und wenn alles, was äußere physische Welt ist und uns als physische Welt vor das Anschauen tritt, wenn das alles einstmals mit dem Erdenuntergang verschwunden sein wird, so wird weiter wirken dasjenige, was jetzt als innere Kräfte unserer Organe existiert. Man möchte sagen, alles, was unsere Augen sehen, unsere Ohren hören können, alle äußere Welt ist eine Welt, die zunächst abklingt mit dem Erdenende. Was unsere Haut bedeckt, was wir im Inneren tragen, was umschlossen wird von unserer Organisation, das enthält geistig dasjenige, was fortbesteht, wenn die äußere Welt, die unsere Sinne sehen, einstmals nicht mehr da sein wird. Im Grunde genommen arbeitet innerhalb der menschlichen Haut etwas, was über die Erde hinauslebt; innerhalb der menschlichen Haut liegen die Zentren, die Kräfte dessen, was über das Erdendasein hinausarbeitet. Wir stehen als Mensch nicht bloß in der Welt, damit wir für uns unsere Organe umschließen, wir stehen in der Welt als Mensch, damit der Kosmos selber innerhalb unserer Haut sich gestaltet.
