We are able to say that the situation is such that the astral body is stimulated in a cosmic sense. Remember that from going to sleep to waking up the astral body is coloured in accord with its moral reactions, as I have shown yesterday. On waking up it enters into an ether body structured by the cosmos. It has to follow it and adapt to it. And we are able to say that cosmic astral powers influence human astral powers.

His eyes, his senses would roam over experiences in the outside world, but he would have no concepts based on geometry and mathematics to make connections between them. This is just one instance, one of those where geometry, which holds true for the cosmos, enters into interaction with principles that apply only in the earth environment. Rational concepts of mathematics and geometry enter into empirical experience gained on earth. This interaction is continuous, and it takes place in such a way that the spirit self is the consciousness active in it. Observing the world from a mathematical point of view, people have no idea, of course, that as they do so, the spirit self has them by the scruff of the neck.

If someone is in sympathy with all that is good, the most beautiful powers of the universe will be able to enter. If people develop their inclinations towards evil, their astral bodies will wither away. During sleep, the astral body assumes different nuances of colour for different levels of feeling and inner responsiveness (Fig. 43, reddish, yellow, pink, mauve). We may say that individual people sparkle up in their astral bodies during sleep depending on the way they are. The astral body represents our inner state of heart and soul during waking hours. This, as it were, pours into the soul universe, and human beings experience themselves in this pouring-out process in so far as their inner state has changed, but in a situation where they encounter the world of the spirit in that inner state.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":188,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/208/1921-11-13/p029","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1921-11-13","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 208/1921-11-13/p034","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/208/1921-11-13/p034"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":198,"en_words":188,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Aber auch da ist es so, daß in dem Augenblicke, wo beim Aufwachen das Ich und der astralische Leib heranschlagen an den physischen Leib und den Ätherleib, und in dem Augenblick, wo sie beim Einschlafen wiederum sich herausziehen, daß da eine Wechselwirkung stattfindet, welche von einem Bewußtsein geregelt wird, zu dem der Mensch auch nicht mit seinem für die wache Betätigung geeigneten Bewußtsein herankommt. Der Mensch kann ja in einer gewissen indirekten Weise auf das Aufwachen und Einschlafen einen Einfluß haben.

Wir können sagen: Für den Astralleib ist es ja so, daß er angeregt wird im kosmischen Sinne. Denken Sie, daß vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen der astralische Leib ja durchaus seinen moralischen Empfindungen nach, wie ich gestern dargestellt habe, tingiert wird. Beim Aufwachen dringt er ein in den kosmisch gestalteten Ätherleib. Da muß er sich nach diesem richten, da muß er sich ihm anpassen. Und wir können sagen: Die kosmisch-astralischen Kräfte wirken auf die menschlich-astralischen Kräfte. Man kann das sehr gut verfolgen in einem besonderen Falle.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":159,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/208/1921-11-13/p030"},{"locus":"GA 208/1921-11-13/p031","passage_number":31,"text":"Denken Sie sich, der Mensch hätte nicht durchgemacht dieses Leben zwischen dem Tod und einer neuen Geburt — wie ja das Tier es nicht durchgemacht hat -, sondern er käme so zur Welt, wie es die Aristotelische Weltanschauung fordert: Er würde ein neugeschaffenes Wesen bei seiner Geburt sein. Er brächte sich nicht die Wirkungen früherer Erdenleben und des Lebens zwischen dem Tod und einer neuen Geburt in das Leben herein. Dann würde der Mensch seinen Blick schweifen lassen, seine Sinne schweifen lassen über die äußeren Erfahrungen, aber er würde niemals diese äußeren Erfahrungen durch Begriffe, Vorstellungen der Geometrie und der Mathematik verbinden. Das ist nur ein Fall, aber es ist einer derjenigen Fälle, wo das, was für den Kosmos gilt, die Geometrie, in eine Wechselwirkung tritt mit dem, was nur für die irdische Umgebung gilt. Es wird das Irdische durchsetzt, die empirische Erfahrung wird durchsetzt von dem rationellen Mathematisch-Geometrischen. Aber diese Wechselwirkung findet fortwährend statt, und sie findet so statt, daß darin das Geistselbst als Bewußtsein wirkt. Davon wissen natürlich die mathematischen Weltenbetrachter nichts, daß, während sie wirklich mathematisch betrachten, eigentlich immer das Geistselbst sie hinten beim Schüppel hat. Aber sie beachten das nicht, weil sie sich beschränken auf die Reflexion, die im gewöhnlichen menschlichen Bewußtsein davon vorhanden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":209,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/208/1921-11-13/p031"},{"locus":"GA 208/1921-11-13/p032","passage_number":32,"text":"Dann erst, wenn der Mensch weder im Schlafe noch im Aufwachen oder Einschlafen ist, sondern wenn er voll untergetaucht ist mit seinem Ich und seinem astralischen Leib in den Ätherleib und in den physischen Leib, dann ist das gewöhnliche heutige Bewußtsein vorhanden, dann ist der Mensch nur hingegeben alldem, was heraus ist aus Geistesmenschen, Lebensgeist und Geistselbst. Wenn der Mensch angelangt sein wird auf jener Stufe des Daseins, die er haben wird, wenn die Erde die Metamorphose zum Jupiterdasein im Sinne meiner «Geheimwissenschaft im Umriß» wird durchgemacht haben, dann wird es so sein, daß der Mensch nicht mehr äußerlich durch Geometrie sich einen Würfel bilden wird und dann finden wird, daß diese ideelle Würfelform paßt auf das kristallisierte Salz, sondern er wird das als eine Einheit erblicken. Er wird so weit hingegeben sein an die äußere Welt, daß er gewissermaßen in dem Salz selber drinnen stecken wird.

Wenn der Mensch seine Neigungen entwickelt zum Bösen, dann wird sein astralischer Leib verkümmern. Für alle Stufen des Fühlens und Empfindens im Inneren gibt es gewisse Tingierungsnuancen, die der astralische Leib während des Schlafzustandes annimmt (siehe Zeichnung Seite 200, rötlich, gelb, rosa, lila). Man kann sagen, so wie der Mensch ist, so erfunkelt er in bezug auf seinen astralischen Leib während des Schlafzustandes. Der astralische Leib ist ja das, was während des Wachzustandes die Seelenverfassung ausmacht, die Gemütsverfassung. Diese Gemütsverfassung, die ergießt sich gewissermaßen während des Schlafzustandes in das seelische Universum, und in dieser Ergießung erlebt sich dann der Mensch, indem er seine Seelenverfassung verändert hat, aber indem er mit Bezug auf seine Seelenverfassung vor der seelisch-geistigen Welt steht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":198,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/208/1921-11-13/p034"},{"locus":"GA 208/1921-11-13/p035","passage_number":35,"text":"Würde der Mensch, indem er mit seinem astralischen Leibe da hinauslebt, eindringen können in das Bewußtsein des Lebensgeistes, dann würde er sprechen können zu dem, was mit seinem astralischen Leib geschieht.
