Our Thought Life in Sleep and Wakefulness and in the Afterlife

Yes, I already know what is in the hearts of some people; I know that some would very much like it if this happened quite often. But it is not so easy for the younger generation. In this case, I and the astral body worked only through external impulses, and when the etheric body is able to work alone in the physical body, it often proves to be even more ingenious than what is often achieved when the ego and astral body are present. As I said, this is only to illustrate the fact that human beings have thoughts throughout the night, that is, the physical body and the etheric body of human beings, and are not present with their ego and astral body. For thoughts are formed directly from the outer world through the mediation of the etheric body, and then the physical body is called upon to help cherish the thoughts as a physical human being on earth.
