This happens all the time. Every ray of light, every piece of nourishment that a person takes in, is an interaction between the person's inner being and the outside world. The regulator is the astral body, and essentially the relationship is regulated by needs, by pleasure and pain, by desire. What a person desires, he appropriates, and the faculty of desire is the expression of the astral body. [This is what man demands of his environment.] You see, then, that man fulfills various tasks through his limbs. This now requires a significant distinction to be made with regard to the limbs in the whole of human life. This distinction will become clear to us when we consider the nature of sleep. When a person sleeps, all desire and suffering, all interaction with the outside world, everything that the astral body conveys, has sunk down. No sensible person will say that a person decays in the evening and is reborn in the morning. His astral body is there, but not as it is during the day. While during the day this astral body dwells in the physical body and allows the things of the outside world to flow out through the organs of the physical body and processes them, at night it is separated from the physical body, it does not touch the physical body. This is not the case with the etheric body. What it has to do continues during sleep.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Während der Ätherleib des Menschen hauptsächlich im Inneren arbeitet, die Organe vergrößert, von [innen] heraus in der Fortpflanzung arbeitet, ist der Astralleib dasjenige, was da ist, um das Äußere dem Inneren zugänglich zu machen und mit ihm zu verbinden. Das geschieht fortwährend. Jeder Lichtstrahl, jedes Stück Nahrung, das der Mensch aufnimmt, ist eine Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Inneren des Menschen und der Außenwelt. Der Regulator ist der Astralleib, und im Wesentlichen wird das Verhältnis geregelt durch die Bedürfnisse, durch Lust und Schmerz, durch das Verlangen. Dasjenige, was der Mensch begehrt, eignet er sich an, und das Begehrungsvermögen ist der Ausdruck des Astralleibes. [Solches verlangt der Mensch von der Umgebung.] Sie sehen so, dass der Mensch verschiedene Aufgaben erfüllt durch seine Glieder. Das bedingt nun einen bedeutenden Unterschied in Bezug auf die Glieder im ganzen Leben des Menschen. Uns wird klar werden dieser Unterschied, wenn wir uns das Wesen des Schlafes vor Augen stellen. Wenn der Mensch schläft, sind hinuntergesunken Lust und Leid, alle Wechselwirkung mit der Außenwelt, alles, was der Astralleib vermittelt. Kein vernünftiger Mensch wird sagen, dass der Mensch am Abend vergeht und morgens neu entsteht. Sein Astralleib ist da, aber nicht so wie am Tage. Während am Tag dieser Astralleib im physischen Körper wohnt und durch die Organe des physischen Leibes die Dinge der Außenwelt auf sich ausströmen lässt und verarbeitet, ist er in der Nacht getrennt vom physischen Leib, berührt er den physischen Leib nicht. Beim Ätherleib ist das nicht der Fall.
