But since the physical body of the human being forms a unity with the human soul member in its third part, we first have two parts plus one plus another two, that is, five parts: physical body, etheric body, soul body, intellectual soul, consciousness soul, in which the I shines forth. This I is a very interesting point in the aura. At one point, the I becomes perceptible. Within the outer oval, you will find a strange, blue-shimmering or blue-iridescent spot, also oval in shape. It is actually like when you see a candle flame; but with the difference that the astral colors have compared to the physical colors, it is as if you saw blue in the middle of the candle flame. This is the I that is perceived within the aura. And that is a very interesting fact. No matter how far a person develops, no matter how far they train their clairvoyant gifts, at this point they first see this blue I-body, this blue light body. This is a veiled sanctuary, even for the clairvoyant. No one can see into the actual self of another person. Even for those who have developed their spiritual senses, this remains a mystery at first. Only within this blue shimmering spot does something new shine forth. There is a new flame forming, shining in the center of the blue flame. This is the third member, the spirit. This spirit again consists of three members, like the other components of the human being. Oriental philosophy calls these Manas, Buddhi, Atma. These three components are so developed in today's human beings that actually only the lowest part, the spirit self — that is the correct translation for Manas — is developed in the predisposition of today's thinking human beings. This Manas is just as firmly connected to the highest link of the soul as the sentient soul is to the soul body, so that once again the highest part of the soul and the lowest part of the spirit form a whole, because they cannot be distinguished. In the aura, one sees the highest link of the soul in the center of the blue shimmering spot where the I is located, and one sees the spirit shining within the I. Today, the spirit has developed to the level of manas in humanity. The two higher parts, buddhi and atma — the life spirit and the spirit man — are developed in their potential, and we will see how they will develop further when we talk about reincarnation and karma in the next lecture.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Nature of the Human Being","site_heading":null,"date":"1904-10-13","location":null,"word_count":450,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/53/1904-10-13/p018","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"UNK2014","book_title":"The Origin and Goal of the Human Being","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA053/English/UNK2014/19041013p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/53/1904-10-13/p018"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/53/1904-10-13/p018","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.

Da aber des Menschen physischer Leib in seinem dritten Teile eine Einheit bildet mit dem menschlichen Seelenglied, so haben wir zuerst zwei Teile plus einen plus weitere zwei, also fünf Teile: physischer Leib, Ätherleib, Seelenleib, Verstandesseele, Bewußtseinsseele, in der das Ich aufleuchtet. Dieses Ich ist ein ganz interessanter Punkt in der Aura. An einer Stelle wird das Ich wahrnehmbar. Da finden Sie innerhalb des äußeren Ovals eine merkwürdige, blau flimmernde oder blau schillernde Stelle, auch ovalförmig. Es ist eigentlich so, wie wenn Sie eine Kerzenflamme sehen; aber mit der Differenz, die die astralen Farben gegenüber den physischen Farben haben, ist es so, wie wenn Sie in der Kerzenflamme in der Mitte das Blau sähen. Das ist das Ich, das da wahrgenommen wird innerhalb der Aura. Und das ist eine sehr interessante Tatsache. Wenn der Mensch auch noch so weit sich entwickelt, wenn er auch noch so weit seine hellseherischen Gaben ausbildet, an dieser Stelle sieht er zunächst diesen blauen Ich-Körper, diesen blauen Lichtkörper. Das ist ein verhangenes Heiligtum, auch für den Hellseher. Niemand kann in das eigentliche Ich des anderen hineinschauen. Das bleibt selbst für denjenigen, der seine seelischen Sinne entwickelt hat, zunächst ein Geheimnis. Nur innerhalb dieser blau flimmernden Stelle glänzt Neues auf. Da ist eine neue Flammenbildung, die im Mittelpunkt der blauen Flamme aufglänzt. Das ist das dritte Glied, der Geist. Dieser Geist besteht wieder aus drei Gliedern, wie die anderen Bestandteile des Menschen. Die morgenländische Philosophie nennt diese Manas, Buddhi, Atma. Diese drei Bestandteile sind bei den heutigen Menschen so ausgebildet, daß eigentlich nur der unterste Teil, das Geistselbst — das ist die richtige Übersetzung für Manas — in der Anlage bei dem heutigen denkenden Menschen entwickelt ist. Es ist dieses Manas ebenso fest verbunden mit dem höchsten Gliede der Seele wie die Empfindungsseele mit dem Seelenleib, so daß wieder das Höchste der Seele und das Niederste des Geistes ein Ganzes bilden, weil man sie nicht unterscheiden kann. Man sieht eben in der Aura das höchste Glied der Seele in dem Mittelpunkte der blau flimmernden Stelle, wo das Ich sitzt, und man sieht aufleuchten innerhalb des Ich den Geist. Der Geist ist heute bei der Menschheit bis zum Manas entwickelt. Die beiden höheren Teile, Buddhi und Atma — Lebensgeist und Geistesmensch —, sind in der Anlage entwickelt, und wir werden sehen, wie sie sich weiter entwikkeln werden, wenn wir im nächsten Vortrag über Reinkarnation und Karma sprechen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":418,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/53/1904-10-13/p018"}],"english":["GA 53/1904-10-13/p018"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":418,"en_words":450,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5725,"original_word_count":5568,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"UNK2014","book_title":"The Origin and Goal of the Human Being","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA053/English/UNK2014/19041013p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"discrepancy","checked_against":["GA 53/1904-10-13/p018"],"missing_from_translation":["Schiller"],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","bead_length_ratio":1.08,"likely_cause":"unresolved","note":"NAME MISMATCH between this English passage and its German counterpart.
