122. Clairvoyance, Magic and Initiation

During childhood and youth, the content of the astral body has been withdrawn from consciousness - it has poured into the physical body -; after death, full consciousness of what has connected with the astral body in external experience must arise again. - And the initiate knows the I and its connection with the physical body. The I must be completely adapted to it - it must have it as thought content -; for this the time that has passed since the external circumstances have changed completely was necessary - the I does not enter into the same circumstances; the next post-earthly life will then be longer or shorter, depending on whether the person has become more or less alien to the spiritual during their life on earth.
