We see the Spirit which flows through the whole universe, we see material beings arise out of it, densifying, and we see again on the other hand beings which cause the solid to evaporate again. In all that surrounds us today as matter is something into which Spirit has flowed and become rigid. In every material being we see rigidified Spirit. As we need only bring the necessary heat to the ice to turn it into water again, so we need only bring the necessary Spirit to the beings around us to renew the Spirit in them. We speak of a rebirth of the Spirit which has flowed into matter and is hardened there. Thus does the astral body—the bearer of likes and dislikes, of desires and passions—appear to us not as something which could originate from physical existence, but as the same element as lives in us as conscious Spirit, as what appears to us as the element flowing through the whole world and being dissolved again out of matter, through a process of human life. What appears as last is at the same time the first. It has produced the physical body and likewise the etheric body, and when both have reached a certain degree of development appears to be born out of them anew.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Wir sehen den Geist, der das ganze Universum durchflutet, wir sehen aus ihm heraus die materiellen Wesenheiten entstehen, die sich verdichten, und wir sehen wieder auf der anderen Seite Wesenheiten, die das Feste wieder verflüchtigen. In allem, was uns heute als Materielles umgibt, ist etwas, in das der Geist hineingeflossen und darin erstarrt ist. So sehen wir in jeglichem materiellen Wesen erstarrten Geist. So wie wir dem Eise nur die nötige Wärme zuzuführen brauchen, um wieder Wasser entstehen zu lassen, so brauchen wir den Wesen um uns herum nur den nötigen Geist zuzuführen, um in ihnen den Geist erstehen zu lassen. Wir sprechen von einer Wiedergeburt des Geistes, der in die Materie hineingeflossen und darin erstarrt ist. So erscheint uns auch der astralische Leib — der Träger von Lust und Unlust, Begierde und Leidenschaft — nicht als etwas, was aus dem physischen Dasein hervorgehen konnte, sondern als dasselbe Element, das in uns auflebt als bewußter Geist, wie das, was uns erscheint als das die ganze Welt durchflutende Element, welches — durch einen Prozeß des menschlichen Lebens — wieder aus der Materie erlöst wird.
