How does the average European person differ from such a “savage”? He says to himself about some urges: you may follow them, but he forbids himself from following others. He has moral concepts that forbid him one thing and allow him another; he has purified and cleansed his urges and passions, and if he is a little higher, he has certain ideals that he strives for. How does he differ from the “savage”? He has worked on his astral body, the body that is the carrier of desires and passions. The savage has not yet done this; he has not yet put any work into it, he still lives in his urges and desires, and the part of his body, the ego, lives in him as it has been handed down to him by the gods. The higher a person is, the more this divine inheritance works in him and transforms the other bodies. The idealist has transformed even more in himself, he has brought even more under the rule of the ego; and the person who has his instincts and passions so well in hand that nothing happens that he does not recognize as right and good, who is never carried away by his instincts and desires, has completely purified and ennobled his astral body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Wodurch unterscheidet er sich von dem «Wilden»? Er hat seinen Astralkörper bearbeitet, den Körper, der der Träger ist von Begierden und Leidenschaften. Das hat der «Wilde» noch nicht getan, er hat noch keine Arbeit darauf verwendet, er lebt noch in seinen Trieben und Lüsten, und der Teil seiner Leiber, das Ich, lebt in ihm, wie es ihm von den Göttern überliefert ist. Je höher der Mensch steht, desto mehr arbeitet dieses göttliche Erbteil in ihm und wandelt die anderen Leiber um. Der Idealist hat noch mehr umgewandelt an sich, er hat noch mehr unter die Herrschaft des Ich gebracht; und derjenige Mensch, der seine Triebe und Leidenschaften so in der Hand hat, dass nichts geschieht, was er nicht selbst als das Richtige und Gute erkennt, der sich nie mehr fortreißen lässt von seinen Trieben und Begierden, der hat seinen Astralleib ganz geläutert und veredelt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":220,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68d/1907-07-02/p033"}],"english":["GA 68d/1907-07-02/p033"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":220,"en_words":230,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6665,"original_word_count":6370,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Nature of Man in the Light of Spiritual Science","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068d/English/SOL2024/19070702p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
