You would get a totally wrong idea of what the water (the watery) is in man, if you had the picture that within the living human organism, one might find water, as it runs in a brook (see diagram, blue). This is not the case. In the brook, we have dead water, in the human organism we have a living liquid. Not only the plasma-liquid is living, all that is liquid in the human body is living. And in this liquid there are finely dissolved those solid parts, mentioned before, which are carried forth as it were, on the waves of the watery, also up into the eyes. Two different things meet now in the eye, the etheric organism of man (blue) fills out the eye, which is the optic nerve of the eye; and what is streaming now into this liquid which is filled by the etheric organism,—that is the astral picture which arises in the human astral body (red). And this (yellow) is what arises through the ego. That is what streams into here, and also streams further on.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Spiritual Rhythms in Human Organism and Perception","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.

Sie würden eine ganz falsche Vorstellung bekommen von dem, was im Menschen das Flüssige, das Wäßrige ist, wenn Sie sich innerhalb des lebendigen menschlichen Organismus vorstellen wollten (siehe Zeichnung, blau), daß man es da mit Wasser zu tun hat, so wie es im Bach fließt. Das ist nicht der Fall. Im Bach haben wir totes Wasser, im menschlichen Organismus haben wir lebendes Flüssiges. Es ist nicht nur die Plasmaflüssigkeit lebendig, es ist alles Flüssige im menschlichen Organismus lebendig. Und in diesem Flüssigen sind fein aufgelöst auch überall diese Ihnen früher schon genannten festen Bestandteile, die gewissermaßen auf den Wogen des Flüssigen fortgetragen werden, auch bis in die Augen hinein. Wiederum auf den Wogen der inneren Flüssigkeit strahlt der ätherische Organismus des Menschen in die Augen hinein. Im Auge begegnet sich jetzt zweierlei. Der ätherische Organismus des Menschen (blau) füllt das Auge aus, vom Auge den Sehnerv; und was jetzt in diese vom ätherischen Organismus ausgefüllte Flüssigkeit hineinströmt, das ist das astralische Bild, das im menschlichen astralischen Leibe entsteht (rot). Und dies hier (gelb) ist das, was durch das Ich entsteht.
