They can take possession of the physical body less and less and shape the etheric body after themselves less and less. They have to be brought out so that they can then be properly brought back in again. The astral body has to be permeated by visualized suffering, by compassion. And the ego has to be permeated by fear. When the ego experiences fear, it strengthens itself. And the ego survives this fear because it is only presented through the image. So the ego does not perish under fear, it endures the fear, it undergoes the crisis, the catharsis, and as a result has a strengthened power to take possession of the physical body again every morning. Likewise, through compassion, through looking at suffering, the astral body is strengthened, making the etheric body more and more similar.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Man muß sie herausbringen, damit sie sich dann wiederum in der richtigen Weise hineinstellen. Man muß den astralischen Leib durchströmen von angeschauten Leiden, von Mitleiden. Und man muß das Ich durchströmen von Furcht. Wenn das Ich die Furcht erlebt, dann stärkt es sich. Und das Ich übersteht diese Furcht, weil sie eben nur durch das Bild vorgeführt wird. Das Ich also geht nicht zugrunde unter der Furcht, es übersteht die Furcht, es macht die Krisis, die Katharsis durch, und hat dadurch eine verstärkte Kraft, um den physischen Leib wiederum jeden Morgen in Besitz zu nehmen. Ebenso wird durch das Mitleid, durch das Anschauen des Leides, der astralische Leib verstärkt, sich den Ätherleib immer ähnlicher und ähnlicher zu machen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":162,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/211/1922-03-31/p021"}],"english":["GA 211/1922-03-31/p021"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":162,"en_words":167,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4722,"original_word_count":4679,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Mysteries of the Sun and Death and Resurrection","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA211/English/SOL2024/19220331p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
