In reality, as I have often discussed, it is only imbued with the power of thought to the extent that our dreams are imbued with the power of thought. What we experience, so to speak, in the shadow of the world of personal feeling, we now experience in its true form: the I, as it descends from the periphery of the world, from the world of etheric substance, as it, instead of dissolving into the indefinite, pushes towards the center of its own being. And in this comprehension, which transforms the ordinary emotional experience into a real thought experience and thus into a real cognitive experience, in this experience we grasp what is called the astral body in anthroposophical knowledge of man. The astral body appears to us as given to us by the world when we look out from our center. We discover how, as it were, what is our astral body is exuded from the etheric force arrangements. It is as if we were suddenly not living in ourselves, but living in the air we breathe in — as if our body were standing there objectively and we were not in this body, but in the air we breathe in — and it is as if we felt that our external physicality was merely this body of air that penetrates into the human interior. It is as if we were looking into the human organs, as if we were approaching the human form in its externality.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Es ist in Wirklichkeit - ich habe das oftmals auseinandergesetzt — nur insoweit durchdrungen von der Gedankenkraft, wie unsere Träume von der Gedankenkraft durchdrungen sind. Dasjenige, was wir also gewissermaßen im Weltenschatten des persönlichen Fühlens erleben, das erleben wir nun in seiner wahren Gestalt: das Ich, wie es heruntersteigt aus der Weltenperipherie, aus der Weltenätherizität, wie es sich, statt zu zerfließen ins Unbestimmte, hindrängt nach dem Mittelpunkte des eigenen Wesens. Und in diesem Erfassen, das das gewöhnliche Gefühlserlebnis zu einem wirklichen Gedankenerlebnis, daher auch zu einem wirklichen Erkenntniserlebnis macht, in diesem Erlebnis erfassen wir dasjenige, was in anthroposophischer Menschenerkenntnis der astralische Leib genannt wird, der astralische Leib, der uns erscheint als uns von der Welt gegeben, wenn wir aus unserem Zentrum herausblicken. Wir entdecken, wie gewissermaßen herausträufelt aus den Ätherkraftanordnungen dasjenige, was unser astralischer Leib ist. Es ist uns so, wie wenn wir plötzlich nun nicht in uns leben, sondern lebten in Atemluft, die wir einatmen — wie wenn unser Körper objektiv dastünde und wir nicht in diesem Körper wären, sondern in der Atemluft, die wir einatmen —, und es ist uns so wie wenn wir fühlten, daß unsere äußerliche Körperlichkeit lediglich eben dieser Luftkörper wäre, der eindringt in das menschliche Innere, es ist uns so, wie wenn wir da in die Organe des Menschen hineinsähen, wie wenn wir erst uns annäherten der menschlichen Form in ihrer Äußerlichkeit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":250,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-24/p023"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-24/p023"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":250,"en_words":274,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6644,"original_word_count":6275,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Art and Anthroposophy The Goetheanum Impulse: Summer Art Course 1921","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA077b/English/SOL2024/19210824p01.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.
