In the case of a severe physical insult, say to the mammary gland, the impact continues inwards in such a way that it shows, roughly speaking, a line of action within the skin that originates from the outside – in other words, a mechanical insult that continues inwards. In most cases of breast cancer, this will be the real origin. It could only be a prolonged process of overheating or burning. In the sense I am describing here, it will always be an insult that brings this about, speaking externally. Now, in this case, something occurs that strongly suggests the astral body at this point, which is otherwise absorbed by the etheric body. When the astral body suddenly appears at this point, it shows itself in, I would say, dim light; it appears as if it were burning. When it becomes so noticeable, then there is a tendency at this point towards the formation of a sensory effect, a carcinoma develops. There it is not a question of at least starting with the first seven vaccinations.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Discussion","site_heading":"Astral-Etheric Imbalance: Spiritual Diagnosis and Constitutional Remedy","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Bei einem starken physischen Insult, sagen wir bei einem Stoß auf die Brustdrüse, setzt sich der Stoß nach innen so fort, daß er innerhalb der Haut — grob gesprochen — einen Wirkungsverlauf zeigt, der von außen seinen Ursprung hat, — also ein mechanischer Insult, der sich nach innen fortsetzt. Für ein Brustkarzinom wird dies in den meisten Fällen der wirkliche Ursprung sein. Es könnte nur noch ein längerer Überhitzungs- oder ein Verbrennungsprozeß sein. Immer wird es in dem Sinne — äußerlich gesprochen, wie ich es hier anführe — ein Insult sein, der das herbeiführt. Nun tritt in diesem Falle das ein, was sehr stark an der Stelle den Astralleib erscheinen läßt, der sonst absorbiert ist vom Ätherleib. Wenn der Astralleib plötzlich an der Stelle erscheint, dann zeigt er sich in, ich möchte sagen, Glimmerlicht; er tritt auf, wie wenn er brennen würde. Wird er so bemerkbar, dann hat man an der Stelle die Tendenz zur Bildung einer Sinneswirkung, da entsteht ein Karzinom. Da ist es nicht eine Frage, daß man mindestens mit den sieben ersten Impfungen beginnen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":184,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/314/1924-04-23/p072"}],"english":["GA 314/1924-04-23/p072"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":184,"en_words":181,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.11,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6946,"original_word_count":6284,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"Meetings with Practicing Physicians","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA314/English/SOL2025/19240423m01.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.
