Nun, dadurch, dass das Ich und der astralische Leib während unseres gesamten Erdenzustandes jedes Mal in den Schlafzuständen nähere Verbindungen mit der Außenwelt eingehen, dadurch stehen sie in der Tat, ich möchte sagen in einem ganz intimen Verhältnis zur Außenwelt und können dadurch auch dasjenige vermitteln, was in den Offenbarungen der Menschenwesenheit als Unbewusstes sich in das Bewusste hineinbegibt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":188,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-22/p009"},{"locus":"GA 277d/1923-07-22/p010","passage_number":10,"text":"Denken wir also daran: Wir sprechen; wir sprechen in Vokalen, wir sprechen in Konsonanten.

Es ist ja in Wahrheit so, dass wir den Gedanken mit Hilfe des physischen und Ätherleibes formen und dass wir im Schlafzustande nur deshalb vom Gedanken fern sind - ihn gewissermaßen nur treffen, aber in einer chaotischen Weise, träumend beim Aufwachen oder Einschlafen -, es ist ja nur deshalb so, weil wir im Schlafzustande mit unserem eigenen Inneren, mit unserem Ich und Astralleib, auch von dem Teil getrennt sind, der unser Gedankenleben enthält.

Wird ein Mensch in Bezug auf die Handhabung seiner Organisation, wenn ich mich so ausdrücken darf, schlampig erzogen, dann drückt sich das auch in der schlampigen Handhabung seiner Gedanken aus.

Suchen wir zum Beispiel nach jener eigentümlichen Gestaltung, welche, sagen wir der menschliche Lippenapparat annimmt, um gewisse Konsonanten zu formen, so kann man nicht beim Menschen stehenbleiben, wenn man dieses, ich möchte fast sagen geheimnisvolle Gestalten von Lippe, Zunge und so weiter kennenlernen will.

Aber im Wesentlichen ist die Bimbam-Theorie [so: Man] nimmt an, dass so, wie bei dem Glockenschlag ertönt etwas von dem Inneren des äußeren Dinges, so ist es - nun jetzt nicht immer durch das Hören, aber für die Wahrnehmung der anderen Sinne - für die Vorgänge und Dinge der Außenwelt [so], dass der Mensch in der Lage ist, sich in sie hineinzuversetzen.
