Esoteric Lesson

The last esoteric consideration was devoted to the description of the processes of the etheric body, which expands more and more in meditation, and on the other hand to the inner concentration of the I within itself. Today's reflection will be devoted to more concrete matters. In sleeping human beings, we see the astral body and the ego lifted out of the physical and etheric bodies and living in the spiritual world. Why can human beings not consciously perceive this? Because the ego and the astral body constantly long for the physical body and strive for reunion with it. This is also the case after death. If a person suddenly became clairvoyant during sleep, they would see how spiritual beings work on their physical body. These are elemental spirits, servants of the hierarchies. Certain spiritual beings work on one particular sense of the human being, others on another sense. The human being has twelve senses, and so twelve different groups of elemental beings, who are servants of the higher hierarchies, work on them.
