It might seem as though the work of the I on the physical body is the basest; but it is in fact the highest. And the work on the physical body is more difficult than the work on the etheric body. When a person consciously begins to work on mastering the forces that work in the physical body through the I, then something else occurs to him. What works in the physical body are the same forces that work in the cosmos. When a person learns to control the forces of his blood and his breathing, he learns the magic of the cosmos. Then what he can do flows out of his physical body and into the universe, and that is a real, true work that can only begin when a person has reached a certain level of work on the etheric body. And because we begin with the regulation of our neighbor, with the regulation of breathing, the name breathing is also taken from 'Atma'. The more a person transforms in his inner physical nature, the more there is of the 'spirit man', of 'Atma'; there is a part of spirit matter in him that has been transformed.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Planetary Evolution and the Evolution of Humanity","site_heading":null,"date":"1907-05-20","location":null,"word_count":234,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/284/1907-05-20/p014","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Images of Occult Seals and Columns","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA284/English/SOL2024/19070520c01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Es könnte scheinen, als ob die Arbeit des Ich an dem physischen Leib das niedrigste wäre; es ist aber gegenwärtig das Höchste. Und die Arbeit an dem physischen Leib ist wiederum schwieriger als die Arbeit am Ätherleib. Beginnt der Mensch bewußt daran zu arbeiten, durch das Ich Herr zu werden der Kräfte, die im physischen Leibe wirken, dann tritt noch etwas anderes bei ihm auf. Was im physischen Leibe wirkt, sind dieselben Kräfte, die im Kosmos wirken. Lernt der Mensch die Kräfte seines Blutes, seines Atmens beherrschen, dann lernt er die Magie des Kosmos. Dann fließt das, was er kann, aus seinem physischen Leib hinaus, in das All ein, und das ist eine wirkliche, reale Arbeit, die dann erst beginnen kann, wenn der Mensch einen gewissen Grad seiner Arbeit am Ätherleib erreicht hat. Und weil man beginnt mit der Regulierung des Nächsten, was uns vorliegt — mit der Regulierung des Atmens -, so ist auch der Name des Atmens von «Atma» hergenommen.
