We must again and again withdraw from a given sense-impression, that is to say, we must alternate between the impression and a condition when we have no impression. For our consciousness to be normal as regards sense-impressions depends upon our being able also to withdraw the senses from the impression that is being made upon them; sense-perception must always be subject to these brief alternating conditions.

But in experiencing what goes on in the senses, we experience the outer world at the same time. I beg you to disregard entirely things that may be known to you from treatises on the physiology of the senses and so forth. I am not now referring to any of these things but to the fact that is perfectly accessible to ordinary human understanding, namely, that the process which takes place in the senses can more readily be grasped as something that extends into us from without and in which we participate, than as something we bring about inwardly through our organism. Hence it is also a fact that in the senses our astral body is practically in the outer world. Especially when we have deliberately surrendered ourselves to sense-perceptions of the outer world, our astral body is actually almost entirely submerged in the outer world, though not to the same extent in the case of all the senses. It is *completely* submerged in the outer world while we sleep. So that from this point of view sleep is a kind of enhancement of surrender of the senses to the outer world. When your eyes are closed, your astral body also withdraws more into the interior of the head; it belongs more to you yourself. When you look out in the normal way, then the astral body draws into the eye and participates in the outer world. If it passes entirely out of your organism, then you go to sleep. Surrender of the senses to the outer world is, in fact, not what is ordinarily supposed, but as regards consciousness is really a stage on the way to going to sleep.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":316,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/219/1922-12-22/p016","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1922-12-22","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 219/1922-12-22/p016","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/219/1922-12-22/p016"},{"locus":"GA 219/1922-12-22/p017","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/219/1922-12-22/p017"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 219/1922-12-22/p016","GA 219/1922-12-22/p017"],"length_check":{"de_words":288,"en_words":316,"ratio":1.1,"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 wenn Sie das Auge selbst betrachten: es ist zwar durchlebt, aber es ist merkwürdig ähnlich einem physikalischen Apparat. Wir können so merkwürdig ähnlich im Auge die Vorgänge charakterisieren, wie wir sie auch in einem physikalischen Apparat charakterisieren. Die Seele umfaßt gewiß die Vorgänge, die auf diese Weise entstehen, aber man kann schon sagen, daß die Sinnesorgane das sind, was ich öfter als Bezeichnung dafür gewählt habe: daß die Sinnesorgane oder die Sinnesgebiete wie Golfe sind, welche die Außenwelt in unser eigenes menschliches Innere hineinsendet.

Wenn Sie ordentlich nach außen gucken, dann zieht sich der astralische Leib in das Auge hinein und nimmt an der Außenwelt teil. Geht er ganz heraus aus Ihrem Organismus, so schlafen Sie.

Da merkt man, daß der Mensch, indem er mit seinem astralischen Leib aus seiner Umgebung in seinen physischen und Ätherleib hereinkommt, das jetzt auf dem Wege des Vollatimungsprozesses tut. Der astralische Leib, der in den Sinnen tätig ist, berührt die feinen Verzweigungen des Atmungsvorganges, greift gewissermaßen in die feinen Rhythmen ein, in denen sich der Atmungsvorgang in die Sinnesgebiete fortsetzt. Der beim Aufwachen aus der Außenwelt in den physischen und Ätherleib hereinziehende Astralleib ergreift den ganzen Atmungsprozeß, der sich zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen selbst überlassen ist.

Er verläuft natürlich nicht gesondert. Nicht nur in diesem Augenblicke, sondern in jedem Augenblicke steht natürlich im menschlichen Organismus die Atmungsbewegung in innigem Zusammenhang mit den übrigen Vorgängen im Organismus. Aber in der Erkenntnis, in der inspirierten Erkenntnis kann das abgetrennt werden. Man verfolgt, wie der astralische Leib auf den Wegen des Atmungsrhythmus in den physischen Leib hereinkommt, und lernt da etwas kennen, was sonst völlig unbewußt bleibt. Nachdem man alle die Zustände durchgemacht hat, welche objektive — nicht subjektive — Gefühlszustände sind, die dieses Hereinkommen begleiten, weiß man, daß, indem der Mensch nun nicht bloß ein Sinnenwesen, sondern ein Atmungswesen ist, er in derjenigen Welt wurzelt, welche ich in meiner «Geheimwissenschaft» die Welt der Archangeloi genannt habe.
