When a human being moves upwards through Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition to a knowledge of the spirit, his inner soul life becomes ever more magnificent. Look at how little man knows about the human eye in his ordinary consciousness. But this eye is a whole cosmos, and like the macrocosm all of its details are marvelous and great. Every single organ in man becomes unveiled in a wonderful way in his physical body already. So that when an initiate looks around him he sees a world with the elements down below and its sun, moon and stars up above. If he looks into himself he sees that the eye, ear, lung, liver and every other organ is a world in itself, and that man's physical body is a marvelous interaction of worlds. Some of these worlds are finished, others are just beginning, some are sensory, others are half supersensible or entirely supersensible. Man really bears ever more worlds in himself as he works his way through one evolution after another.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Alpha and Omega: Christ's Manifestation in Apocalyptic Vision","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.

Schaut er in sich: Jedes Organ, Auge, Ohr, Lunge, Leber und so weiter ist für sich eine Welt, und ein großartiges Ineinanderwirken von Welten ist dieser physische Leib des Menschen: Welten, die fertig sind, Welten, die erst im Keime sind, Welten, die sinnlich sind, die halb übersinnlich, die ganz übersinnlich sind.
