In contrast, the universe constantly tends to disperse the human being's formative forces or etheric body throughout the world. When a person is in the state between falling asleep and waking up, the forces at work in what remains in bed, in the physical and formative forces, actually work in such a way that the physical body continually, if I may express it this way, wants to connect with the earth. It wants to become similar to the earth, it wants to become completely earthly. The formative forces or etheric body wants to disperse into the universe. And when we rediscover our physical body and our etheric body when we wake up in the morning, it is actually the case that, when we enter our physical body, it tells us: the earth has taken hold of me throughout the night, the earth wanted to shape me into dust. Only because you held me together through your ego and your astral body yesterday and the preceding days on earth have I remained a physical body; the forces of cohesion continued to work in me. Likewise, the formative forces or etheric body says: I have only kept the human form because I have adopted the habit of being like you. Actually, during the night, while you were sleeping, while you were away from me, the forces of the universe wanted to scatter me to the four winds.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Wenn der Mensch in dem Zustande ist zwischen dem Einschlafen und dem Aufwachen, dann wirken in dem, was im Bette bleibt, in dem physischen und in dem Bildekräfteleib, eigentlich die Kräfte so, daß der physische Leib fortwährend, wenn ich mich so ausdrücken darf, sich mit der Erde verbinden will. Er will der Erde ähnlich werden, er will ganz irdisch werden. Der Bildekräfte- oder Ätherleib will sich in das Weltenall zerstreuen. Und wenn wir des Morgens beim Aufwachen unseren physischen Leib und unseren Ätherleib wiederfinden, so ist es eigentlich so, daß, indem wir da in den physischen Leib hineinkommen, er uns sagt: Mich hat die Erde in Anspruch genommen während der ganzen Nacht, mich wollte die Erde zu Staub formen. Nur dadurch, daß du mich den gestrigen Tag und die vorhergehenden Erdentage zusammengehalten hast durch dein Ich und durch deinen astralischen Leib, bin ich noch ein physischer Leib geblieben; es wirkten in mir die Kräfte des Zusammenhaltens fort. - Ebenso sagt der Bildekräfte- oder Ätherleib: Eben nur, weil ich die Gewohnheit angenommen habe, dir ähnlich zu sein, habe ich die menschliche Form behalten.
