We have often heard that the physical body is sustained by the etheric body. This is the architect of the physical body, which must not be viewed as if only chemical processes took place in it. We will be wrong if, by observing only the chemical processes, we simply ask in a materialistic fashion what happens to the chemical substances. Beyond the etheric body, we must remember, is the astral body. Through it are expressed the instinctive feelings and in certain respects the various aspects of the soul. When we behold man from the standpoint of spiritual science, we find that his etheric body as well as his physical body are inter-penetrated by his astral body. We must not see only one side but also perceive the astral body beyond the physical. Added to these is the ego, the fourth member of the human being. We have the total man before us only when we see in him this fourfold being. Only with the total fourfold man before us can we do justice to the scope of the problem of nutrition. Only then can answers be given to the question of how these four members of man's organism react to the influences of various diets.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"27.

Es ist immer darauf aufmerksam gemacht worden, wie man von der rein physischen Welt aufsteigen kann zu der geistigen. Und wir haben an dieser Stelle oft gehört, dass der physische Leib etwas ist, was vom Äther- oder Lebensleib aufgebaut wird. Dieser ist der Bildner, und wir dürfen den physischen Leib nicht betrachten, als ob sich nur chemische Vorgänge in ihm abspielen würden. Wir gehen fehl, wenn wir uns in materialistischer Weise bloß fragen: Was geschieht mit den chemischen Stoffen? — wenn wir bloß auf die chemischen Vorgänge sehen. Wir müssen uns erinnern, dass hinter dem Ätherleib noch der astralische Leib ist, und der astralische Leib ist der Ausdruck der Triebempfindungen, ist in gewisser Beziehung der Ausdruck des Seelischen, und wenn wir den Menschen geisteswissenschaftlich betrachten, so ist sowohl sein Ätherleib wie auch sein physischer Leib durchaus durchdrungen von diesem astralischen Leib. Wir dürfen nicht einseitig davon sprechen, sondern wir müssen hinter dem physischen Leib auf den astralischen Leib schauen. Dazu kommt noch das Ich des Menschen, das vierte Glied der menschlichen Wesenheit. Dann erst haben wir den ganzen Menschen vor uns, wenn wir ihn als diese viergliedrige Wesenheit betrachten. Und dann erst können wir sprechen von dem Umfange der Ernährungsfrage, wenn wir uns auch Antwort geben können darauf: Wie wirken diese unter dem Einflusse dieser oder jener Ernährung?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":302,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68d/1909-01-08/p009"}],"english":["GA 68d/1909-01-08/p022"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":302,"en_words":226,"ratio":0.75,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 68d/1909-01-08/p009"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5612,"original_word_count":5597,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"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/SOL2024/19090108p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
