Through self-development, through self-perfection, he can attain higher development. Then he can see the etheric body, which underlies the physical body as a very fine body. Everything that lives in a person comes from the etheric body. Plants have this in common with us; just as color belongs to the flower, so the etheric body belongs to the physical body for those who can see it. Many say that it is immodest to claim such a thing and think that no one can know this. But it is much more immodest to say this, because those who have not seen the matter cannot decide, but those who see can. No one can say more than: I do not know —, just as little as a blind man can claim that there are no colors because he does not see them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"42.
