Ask yourself what a person usually has as a mental image of their physical body when they do not think about it too much. Of course, if you think about it a little, something else immediately arises. He has the mental image that the physical body is limited by the skin, and that inside it is actually a closed mass, which one thinks of as more or less solid or semi-solid. But we must take into account that hardly ten percent of the human body is really solid, that for the most part we are a column of liquid, that we constantly carry air within us, that through the airy we are constantly not separate from the outside world, connected to the outside world. The air that was just outside is then inside me; the air that I have inhaled, that has been processed in the body, is then outside. So that man, if he is to be understood completely in terms of his physical body, must be seen as a solid, liquid, air-like substance. And all this is permeated by the warmth element, which works in these different substances.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Fragen Sie sich doch selbst, was der Mensch gewöhnlich, wenn er wenig nachdenkt — natürlich, bei einigem Nachdenken ergibt sich das andere sogleich -, von seinem physischen Leibe für eine Vorstellung hat. Er hat die Vorstellung, daß der physische Leib durch die Haut begrenzt ist, und im Innern eigentlich eine abgeschlossene Masse ist, die man mehr oder weniger fest oder halbtest denkt. Aber man muß berücksichtigen, daß ja kaum zehn Prozent des menschlichen Leibes wirklich fest sind, daß wir zum größten Teil eine Flüssigkeitssäule sind, daß wir Luftartiges fortwährend in uns tragen, daß wir durch das Luftartige fortwährend ungeschieden sind von der Außenwelt, mit der Außenwelt zusammengeschlossen. Die Luft, die eben noch draußen war, ist dann in mir drinnen; diejenige Luft, die ich eingeatmet habe, die verarbeitet worden ist im Leibe, ist dann draußen. So daß der Mensch, wenn er vollständig seinem physischen Leibe nach aufgefaßt werden soll, angesehen werden muß als feste, flüssige, luftförmige Substanz.
