Esoteric Lesson
The human being receives the I. At first it approaches from the cosmos of the earth. It already has an effect on the emerging physical body, initially through the astral body, which surrounds the emerging human body like a shell. This happens around the time of the Lemurians. At that time, the human body was still very soft, a very soft mass, permeated by magnetic currents. Under the influence of the approaching ego, something like an invagination arose within it. Through this, one can see down to the etheric body. A dim perception begins, which opens more and more toward the outside. Previously, humans had a kind of dim perception inward, through which they could perceive other humans, animals, and their group souls.
