First of all, it is a matter of creating pleasure, that is, one should first act on the astral body. By the indirect route of pleasure and pain, we come to what can now be absorbed by us in the appropriate way. You see, anyone who looks at our social life today knows that countless pathological conditions are connected with it. When we look at the human organism, we see the physical body, the etheric body, the astral body and the I. Let us assume that a person has a task to perform that becomes habitual for him. What happens then? The physical body and the etheric body are involved in such work. When something becomes habitual for a person, when he does it, so to speak, because he has to do it, then the astral body is not involved. Observe the countless people sitting and working here or there, who hardly involve the astral body at all, except at most through annoyance and displeasure. Under the influence of such activities, a process takes place that we can call a process of solidification of the astral body. The astral body is in a healthy state when it can actively engage with the physical and etheric bodies. If you have made the astral body rigid and hardened, it is as if you have a machine in front of you that you cannot control. When the etheric body and the physical body switch off the astral body, it is not present during activities. The fact that it encounters resistance means that such a person feels the resistance not only as an illness, but as having this or that illness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":299,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/68d/1909-03-06/p019","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1909-03-06","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 68d/1909-03-06/p019","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68d/1909-03-06/p019"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"],"length_check":{"de_words":275,"en_words":299,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

These are not counteracted in the right way. Of course, a great deal of emphasis is placed on all kinds of useful things, such as gymnastics, for example. But the way it is done in our time does not promote intensive health care. The focus is too much on the physical body, on the idea that a limb must move in a certain way and that a person must perform this gymnastic exercise in a certain way, because it promotes the physical body. It will be understood that if one envisages that a very specific feeling of pleasure must be associated with each exercise, then one is, as it were, doing gymnastics in the astral body. Then harmony is established with the astral body. I knew a gym teacher who was an example of how gymnastics should not be done. He was a person who was proud that he understood anatomy. The man himself could not do gymnastics, he could only show how things should be done.

Harmony can only come about when one knows how the astral and etheric bodies can work healthily. When the instincts and desires are directed in a certain way, let us say, according to the general laws of the world, then the astral body will find within itself the strong power to rule over the etheric body and the physical body.

Schen Sie die zahllosen Menschen da oder dort sitzen und arbeiten, die kaum den Astralleib, höchstens durch Ärger und Unlust, beteiligt haben. Unter dem Einfluss solcher Verrichtungen geht ein Prozess vor sich, den wir nennen können einen Erstarrungsprozess des Astralleibes. Der Astralleib ist dann in einem gesunden Zustand, wenn er lebendig eingreifen kann in den physischen und Ätherleib. Wenn Sie den Astralleib starr und verhärtet gemacht haben, so ist das, als wenn Sie eine Maschine vor sich haben, die Sie nicht lenken können.

Er war ein Mensch, der stolz war, dass er Anatomie verstand. Der Mann selber konnte nicht turnen, er konnte nur angeben, wie die Dinge gemacht werden sollten.
