In fact, because of certain limitations which cosmic laws impose on us in the natural order of things, our ego and astral body are very close to our physical body and etheric body in a case like this, so that if we are asleep on a train journey our ego and astral body are right inside all the rattling, rumbling and braking going on in the wheels and the engine of the train. And it is just the same on a modern steamer. We are inside everything going on around us. We are inside these not exactly musical experiences in our surroundings, and you need only have taken the very first steps in initiation to notice on waking up that when the ego returns with the astral body into the physical body and etheric body they bring with them what they experienced while they were being squeezed through the machinery, for they really were inside the moving machinery right up to the moment of waking.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Wir sind tatsächlich zunächst wegen gewisser Beschränkungen, die uns kosmische Gesetze naturgemäß auferlegen, mit unserem Ich und unserem astralischen Leibe in einem solchen Falle vorzugsweise in unmittelbarer Nähe unseres physischen und Ätherleibes, so daß wir mit unserem Ich und Astralleibe, wenn wir in einem Eisenbahnwagen fahrend schlafen, im Grunde genommen ganz darinnen sind in alldem Gebremse, Gerolle und Getöse, das mit den Rädern und der Maschinerie des Zuges und so weiter zusammenhängt.
