43. Consciousness – Life – Form

GA 46/46-03-43/p001 · English MediumMedium alignmentSome paragraph re-numbering between this translation and the German original — the locus may slip by a paragraph or two.

The existence of the present human being is characterized not by just one, but by several states of consciousness. The usual one is the one in which the human being finds himself from awakening to falling asleep. In this state, he perceives things through his senses and forms ideas from his sensory perceptions. This is how the physical world comes into being for him. And the powers of his soul, his thinking, feeling, willing and acting, also relate to it.
