43. Consciousness – Life – Form

Thus we look back into the remote past of evolution; we survey four stages through which the physical human body has passed. But we also look into the future, in which the three forms of consciousness, which are today accessible to initiates in higher worlds, will find their realization in the physical world. Our world will be replaced by a future one in which physical human bodies will have organs through which a self-aware human being will perceive an eternally moving world of images, and indeed see himself as such. And further on, one sees a world in which the images will be permeated by harmonious sounds that will express their inner essence. Finally, a world with a spiritual nature, but which will have poured out its spirit into physical nature.
