He has his etheric body through which he lives continually in a time-process extending back to a little before his birth, when he drew together this etheric body out of the general cosmic ether. He has his astral body through which his life extends over the whole period between his last death and his last descent to earth. And he has his ego through which he reaches back into his previous life on earth. Thus, when we speak of the various members of man's being we must speak, in each case, of his extension in time. We bear our former ego-consciousness within us today, but unconsciously. How? If you want to study how you must realise that man, here in the physical world, is not only a solid body, a fluid man and an airy man, but an organism of warmth as well. This is also the way to approach the ego. Everyone knows this, at least in a very partial way. If we measure a person's temperature we get different degrees of fever in different parts of the body. But there are different temperatures throughout man's whole organism. You have one temperature in your head, another in your big toe, another inside your liver, another within your lung. You are not only what you find drawn in definite outlines in an anatomical atlas. You have a fluid organism in constant motion. You have an organism of air which permeates you continually, like a mighty, symphonic organism of music. And, in addition, you have a surging organism of warmth, differentiated with respect to temperature. In this you yourself live. Indeed, you feel that this is so. After all, you are not very conscious of living in your shin-bone, or in any other bone, or in your liver, or in your vascular fluids. But you are very conscious of living in your warmth, though you do not distinguish between your ‘warmth-hand’, ‘warmth-leg’, ‘warmth-liver’, etc. Nevertheless this differentiation is there, and if the temperature differences proper to the human warmth-organism are absent or disturbed, we feel this as illness, as pain.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":366,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/234/1924-02-02/p033","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1924-02-02","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 234/1924-02-02/p034","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/234/1924-02-02/p034"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":418,"en_words":366,"ratio":0.88,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

When we perceive the astral, we hear the music of the spheres which sounds towards us or, we might say, from out of ourselves. (For our own astral body leads us back to our pre-earthly life.) And when we advance farther to the form of cognition that attains the highest degree of love—when the power of love becomes a cognitive force—when, to begin with, we see our own existence flowing from a former life on earth into this present life, we feel this former life in the normal differentiation of the ‘warmth-organism’ in which we are living. This is real intuition. We live in this. And when some impulse arises in us to do this or that, it does not only work, as in the astral body, out of the spiritual world, but from still farther back—from our former life on earth. Our former life on earth works into the warmth of our organism, and kindles this or that impulse. Thus we see in the earthly, solid man the physical body, in the fluid man the etheric body, in the airy man the astral body, and in the warmth element the ego proper. (The ego of the present incarnation is never complete; it is always developing.) It is the ego of the former life on earth, working in subconscious depths, that is the ego proper. And when you perceive a man clairvoyantly you are led to say: lie is standing here and I see him, to begin with, with my external senses.

Und Sie sind bei alledem ein wogendes, warm-kalt Organisiertes, ein Wärmeorganismus, und in diesem Wärmeorganismus leben Sie selber drinnen. Das spüren Sie auch.

Aber daß Sie in Ihrer Wärme leben, davon haben Sie ein starkes Bewußtsein, wenn Sie das auch nicht differenzieren, wenn Sie auch nicht sagen: Da ist meine Wärmehand, da ist mein Wärmebein, da ist meine Wärmeleber und so weiter; aber es ist da, und ist es einmal gestört, ist nicht die menschlich angemessene Differenzierung im Wärmeorganismus vorhanden, dann spüren Sie es als Erkrankung, als Schmerz.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":418,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/234/1924-02-02/p034"},{"locus":"GA 234/1924-02-02/p035","passage_number":35,"text":"Wenn man das Ätherische schaut, wenn man mit dem entwickelten Bewußtsein zur Bildhaftigkeit, zur Imagination gedrungen ist, dann hat man webende Bilder.
