43. Consciousness – Life – Form

The human body has only penetrated as far as the fourth level of consciousness in the present. The initiate can reach the higher levels of consciousness. But they also lead him to higher worlds. The development of man is to be imagined in such a way that the physical body has formed itself through the first three stages and has currently assumed such a form that it still shows two other forms of consciousness during sleep as remnants of previous stages. The first stage has been completely erased by evolution. The three higher levels of consciousness of the initiate cannot at present express themselves in the physical human body because the body cannot develop organs for them. They are prophetic prefigurations of forms that this physical body will yet take.
