Through nothing other than the fact that the sense activity on which day consciousness depends has ceased during sleep. The silence of this sense activity is expressed by the fact that the self-consciousness of the person disappears. This self-consciousness is bound to the activity of the external senses; when these are silent, it sinks into an abyss. In occult science this fact is expressed by saying: the human soul has withdrawn from the physical world. If one does not want to assert that a person ceases to exist when falling asleep and is reborn when waking up, it is not difficult to recognize that during sleep a person exists in a world other than the physical one. This world is called the astral world. The reader may accept this term for the time being as a name for that world of which man gets a presentiment through his dreams. The justification of this term will appear from other chapters of this book.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"43.

Durch nichts anderes als dadurch, dass jene Sinnestätigkeit, von der das Tagesbewusstsein abhängt, im Schlafe aufgehört hat. Das Schweigen dieser Sinnestätigkeit drückt sich dadurch aus, dass das Selbstbewusstsein des Menschen entschwindet. Dieses Selbstbewusstsein ist eben an die Tätigkeit der äußeren Sinne gebunden; schweigen diese, so versinkt es in einen Abgrund. Man bezeichnet diese Tatsache in der sogenannten Geheimwissenschaft dadurch, dass man sagt: Die Seele des Menschen hat sich aus der physischen Welt zurückgezogen. Wer nun nicht behaupten will, der Mensch höre beim Einschlafen auf zu sein und entstehe beim Aufwachen von Neuem, dem wird die Erkenntnis nicht schwerfallen, dass der Mensch während des Schlafes in einer andern als der physischen Welt vorhanden ist. Man nennt diese Welt die astrale. Der Leser nehme diesen Ausdruck zunächst als eine Bezeichnung für jene Welt hin, von der der Mensch eine Ahnung erhält durch seine Träume.
