This tremendous difference strikes at the very roots of human existence. We must be quite clear about this difference for it is enormously important for the being of man. We do not survey the world simply through a single state of consciousness. We learn to know the world only when we understand the form of consciousness which, for example, was common to the children of ancient Chaldea. It resembled our own dream state, though it was more active, capable of stimulating the individual to action. Today it would be considered to be a pathological condition. This condition of waking consciousness that we find so prosaic today and take for granted was unknown in those times. I use the term prosaic advisedly, for to concentrate on the physical aspects of man and depict them in this guise is prosaic. This would not be readily admitted, of course, but it is so. In ancient Chaldea man was perceived both as a physical entity and as endowed with an aura, as I have described.

Wir erleben zwei, den dritten nur angedeutet als Traumzustand: Wachen, Schlafen, Träumen. Diese drei Zustände erlebte nicht so im Tageswechsel der alte Chaldäer, sondern er erlebte einen dumpfen, schlafenden Bewußtseinszustand bis in die Zwanzigerjahre hinein; dann einen Zustand, in dem er mit der Welt lebte, einen Wachzustand, wo er sagte, daß er aufgewacht sei, bis in die Fünfzigerjahre hinein. Und dann einen Zustand, wo die anderen von ihm sagten: Der nimmt sein irdisches Bewußtsein in die geistige Welt hinein. Der ist jetzt so, daß er viel mehr weiß als die anderen. — Man sah zu den Alten als zu den Wissenden hinauf. Heute tut man das nicht. Heute betrachtet man sie als alte Schöpse, die schwachsinnig geworden sind.

Wir schauen eben einfach die Welt nicht nur durch einen Bewußstseinszustand an. Man lernt die Welt nur kennen, wenn man weiß, wie der Bewußtseinszustand ist der beim Kinde zum Beispiel im alten Chaldäa vorhanden war. Er gleicht, das heißt, er ist nicht gleich, sondern er ist nur ähnlich unserem Traumzustand. Aber er ist ein viel lebendigerer Traumzustand. Er ist ein Traumzustand, aus dem heraus gehandelt wird. Heute tritt das als Krankheitszustand auf. Was heute krank ist, war bei den Chaldäern ein Bewußtseinszustand des Kindes. Und der Tageszustand, den wir heute so philiströs empfinden, war noch nicht vorhanden. Ich sage philiströs, denn daß wir alle Menschen in ihren physischen Konturen haben, meine sehr verehrten Anwesenden, das ist ja philiströs; die Menschen in ihren scharfen Konturen wahrzunehmen und sie gar zu malen in diesen scharfen Konturen, ist philiströs. Gewiß, man wird das nicht zugeben, aber es ist so. Dieser Zustand, der war also im alten Chaldäa noch nicht vorhanden, sondern da sah man eben, wie ich es beschrieben habe, die Menschen physisch und aurisch. Und im Alter sah man durch den Menschen durch bis in die Seele hinein. Es war ein dritter Bewußtseinszustand, der heute ausgelöscht ist, denn es ist der Zustand, wo wir traumlos schlafen.

Darauf wird gar kein Wert gelegt, was der Mensch erlebt, wenn er ohne Träume schläft, denn davon weiß er in der Regel gar nicht viel zu erzählen. Es gibt ganz wenige Menschen, die wissen einem schon noch zu erzählen, was sie im traumlosen Schlafe auch heute noch erleben; aber es gibt eben ihrer wenig, sehr wenig.
