You see, I didn't know the man and therefore don't know how he lived. Perhaps you knew him? Then you can answer certain questions. Did you know him well? Well, you see, with a person like that, it is very important to consider whether he had a woman or someone else in his life. Perhaps it could have been you who constantly told him how harmful it is to drink so much alcohol? (This is confirmed.) Now, there we have something that will lead us on the trail. He had people around him who always admonished him not to drink so much because it is not good for him. With this man, as they say, it went in one ear and out the other. This is another popular saying that is not without foundation. It is true that man is so constituted that certain things go in at one ear and out at the other. Why? Well, because the astral body does not hear them. The ear is only the instrument of hearing. The astral body does not hear.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

(Das wird bestätigt.) Nun, da haben wir gleich irgend etwas, was uns auf die Spur führen wird. Er hat in seiner Umgebung Leute gehabt, die ihn immer ermahnt haben, er solle nicht so viel trinken, weil das nicht das Richtige ist und er sich damit schadet. Bei dem Mann ist das, wie man sagt, bei dem einen Ohr rein-, bei dem andern Ohr rausgegangen. Wiederum eine volkstümliche Redensart, die gar nicht so unbegründet ist. Es ist schon so, daß der Mensch für gewisse Dinge so gestimmt ist, daß sie bei dem einen Ohr rein-, bei dem andern Ohr rausgehen. Warum? Nun, weil der astralische Leib die Dinge überhört.
