While we are living here in our physical and etheric bodies, our astral body, as a member of our being, is subject to the laws of nature, and in all its movements and functions lives entirely under those laws. On leaving the physical and etheric bodies, the astral body enters the super-sensible world and is subject to super-sensible laws, which are completely different. The astral body, too, is changed. While we are awake it is, as it were, in the straitjacket of nature's laws. Then it goes to sleep, which means that it leaves the physical and etheric bodies and moves in a world whose laws are in tune with its own freedom. Now what is this world? It is a world giving freedom of movement to the Ego-organisation which, together with the astral body, is then outside the physical and etheric bodies. Every night the Ego becomes free in the world to which the astral body carries it—free to carry out its own will in this world where the laws of nature no longer prevail.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Der astralische Leib ist etwas ganz anderes geworden. Er hat gewissermaßen die Zwangsjacke der Naturgesetze an vom Aufwachen bis zum Einschlafen. Er schläft ein, das heißt, er dringt aus physischem und ätherischem Leib heraus, und er bewegt sich in der Welt freier Gesetzmäßigkeit, die seine ihm angemessene Gesetzmäßigkeit ist. Und in was kommt er da hinein? Er kommt nun hinein in eine Welt, das heißt, er bringt uns als Menschen in eine Welt hinein, die für das Ich, für die eigentliche Ich-Organisation, die nun im astralischen Leib drinnen ist und mit ihm aus dem physischen und Ätherleib herausgeht im Einschlafen, eine freie Beweglichkeit gibt; das Ich wird frei in der Welt, in die es der astralische Leib hineingetragen hat. Jede Nacht wird das Ich in einer Welt frei, in der die Naturgesetze nicht gelten, in der das Ich frei vom Zwang der Naturgesetze schalten und walten kann. Wenn wir zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen stehen und uns unser astralischer Leib befreit hat von den Naturgesetzen, wenn nicht mehr die Gravitation, nicht mehr das Gesetz der Energie, wenn gar nichts mehr von allen diesen Gesetzen gilt in der Welt, in die wir jetzt eingetreten sind, dann ist die Bahn freigegeben für jene sittlichen Impulse, die nur hier sich, ich möchte sagen, unter dem Zwang der sinnlichen Weltordnung in der Welt ausleben können, in der wir sind zwischen dem Aufwachen und Einschlafen. In einer Welt, in der das Sittengesetz nun dieselbe Kraft und Gewalt erlangt, wie hier die Naturgesetze haben, lebt das Ich vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen. Und in dieser Welt kann das Ich etwas vorbereiten. Das Ich kann in dieser Welt, in der es befreit ist im Schlafzustande von den Naturgesetzen, vorbereiten dasjenige, was es dann auszuführen hat, wenn es durch die Pforte des Todes geschritten ist. Über diesen Weg vom Tod bis zu einer neuen Geburt werden wir dann in den weiteren Vorträgen zu reden haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":348,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/227/1923-08-22/p038"}],"english":["GA 227/1923-08-22/p030","GA 227/1923-08-22/p031"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":348,"en_words":368,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"evidence":["length"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5015,"original_word_count":5460,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Violet E.
