In den Einweihungsschulen wird daher besonders darauf hingearbeitet; der Schüler muss Übungen durchmachen, die es ihm ermöglichen, sein Temperament zu ändern, seinen Charakter zu überwinden; und diese Arbeit führt hinauf in höhere Welten. Alles das, was gelingt im Ätherleib umzuwandeln, sodass das Ich es beherrscht, das nennt man Lebensgeist oder Budhi.

Es mag sonderbar scheinen, dass durch das Höchste das Niederste im Menschen, der physische Leib, bearbeitet wird, doch müssen wir bedenken, dass dadurch der Mensch auch fähig wird, hinauszuwirken in die physische Welt, aus der der Menschenleib selbst seinen Stoff genommen hat. Der Eingeweihte auf dieser Stufe kann in den Kosmos hinauswirken! Durch eine Umwandlung des Atmungsprozesses wird diese Stufe erreicht, sie wird Atma genannt — Atma, das heißt Atmen, weil es zusammenhängt mit dem Atmen —, oder auch Geistesmensch.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":109,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68d/1907-07-02/p038"}],"beads":[{"from":[31],"to":[31],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[32],"to":[32],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[33],"to":[33],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[34],"to":[34],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[35],"to":[35],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[36],"to":[36],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[37],"to":[37],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[38],"to":[38],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
