Let us assume, for example, that you stick yourself with a foreign object like a splinter. Your body can react in two ways. Suppose you cannot extract the foreign object so that it remains inside you. Then two things can happen. The constructive force active in the flowing blood surrounds the foreign object. It gathers around the object, but in doing so it moves away from its own customary position. This immediately leads to a preponderance of the nerve activity there. Then an exudate-like formation begins to encapsulate the foreign object. When this happens, the following takes place in that part of the body: whereas usually, when there is not a foreign object in that spot, the etheric body penetrates the physical body in a certain way, in this situation the etheric body is unable to penetrate the foreign object; instead, within this area a bubble will form that is filled out only with the etheric. We have within us a small portion of the body that contains a foreign object and where a small portion of the etheric body is not organized by the physical. In this case it is important to strengthen the astral body in that spot to such an extent that it can be effective in the small portion of the etheric body without the help of the physical body. Through this encapsulation our body has actually made use of the destructive forces, separating out these destructive forces in a small section of the body and then incorporating into it the healing etheric body. This will then have to be supported by the astral and the ego through an appropriate treatment.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Invisible Man Within Us","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-02-11","location":null,"word_count":295,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/221/1923-02-11/p024","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA221/English/Singles/19230211p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Nehmen Sie einmal an, Sie stechen sich irgendwo einen Fremdkörper ein (siehe farbige Zeichnung 3, gelb). Das Verhalten Ihres Leibes zu diesem Fremdkörper kann in zweierlei Art vor sich gehen. Nehmen wir an, Sie können den Fremdkörper nicht herausziehen, er bleibt drinnen. Dann kann zweierlei geschehen. Rings um den Fremdkörper ist tätig die aufbauende Kraft in dem fließenden Blute (rot). Die sammelt sich rings um den Fremdkörper an, ist aber von ihrer Stelle gerückt. Das führt dazu, daß die Nerventätigkeit sogleich anfängt zu überwiegen. Es sondert sich um den Fremdkörper eine exsudatartige Bildung ab (blau). Der Fremdkörper wird eingekapselt. Dadurch, daß das geschicht, bildet sich an der Stelle des Körpers das Folgende: Während sonst, wenn wir keinen Fremdkörper an der Stelle haben, dort in einer gewissen Weise der ätherische Leib in den physischen Leib eingreift, wird der ätherische Leib jetzt in den Fremdkörper nicht eingreifen können, sondern dadrinnen wird gewissermaßen eine Blase entstehen, die nur vom Ätherischen ausgefüllt ist (rote Striche). Wir haben in uns ein Stückchen Leib, das einen Fremdkörper enthält, und wo ein Stückchen ätherischer Leib nicht vom Physischen durchorganisiert ist. Da kommt es dann darauf an, dadrinnen den astralischen Leib so stark zu machen, daß er ohne die Hilfe des physischen Leibes bei dem Stückchen Ätherleib wirken kann. Und durch diese Einkapselung hat sich eigentlich unser Leib an die abbauenden Kräfte gewandt, um diese abbauenden Kräfte in einem Stück Leib herauszusondern und da nun den heilenden Ätherleib einzugliedern, der in der entsprechenden Weise aber dann durch eine richtige Behandlung unterstützt werden muß von dem Astralischen und dem Ich.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":281,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/221/1923-02-11/p023"}],"english":["GA 221/1923-02-11/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":281,"en_words":295,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 221/1923-02-11/p023"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5682,"original_word_count":5487,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA221/English/Singles/19230211p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
