We have to change over to the sphere of active, living thinking in order to experience our etheric body. What we then have to bear in mind is that in that world everything is different from what we experience while bound to the physical world of the senses. In the first place the things and happenings we know from the aspect of the physical world appear in quite a different light in these higher worlds. As it is, the things and events encountered in the physical world are after all only final manifestations. They have their source in the higher worlds; so that we then see more into the primary origins of our surroundings in the physical world. But apart from that, when in the physical world we have, to begin with, the world well known to ordinary consciousness, where man is surrounded by the three kingdoms of nature besides his own. But when we rise to those powers of cognition—in my books I have used the expression ‘Imaginative Cognition’—which enable us to experience our own etheric body or the body of formative forces, we enter the etheric world. And we have sufficiently developed and strengthened our faculties when we have kindled the inner light and can experience ourselves, as it were, in the Second Man, in the body of formative forces; we then enter the world which, at any rate to begin with, reveals itself to us in images: the world of the Angeloi, Archangeloi and Archai.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Wir müssen in die Sphäre des aktiven Denkens, des erlebten Denkens übertreten, wenn wir an unseren Ätherleib herankommen wollen. Wir müssen uns nur vorstellen, wie ja dann alles, was um uns als Welt ist, anders ist, als solange wir innerhalb der physisch-sinnlichen Welt sind. Vor allem nehmen sich die Dinge und Vorgänge, mit denen wir aus der physischen Welt bekannt sind, ganz anders aus in diesen höheren Welten. Wir haben ja nur die letzten Wirkungen an den Dingen und an den physischen Vorgängen in der physischen Welt um uns. Diese Dinge und diese Wirkungen sind aber in den höheren Welten begründet. Wir sehen also dann gewissermaßen dasjenige, was ursprünglicher ist von diesen Dingen, als das, was uns in der physischen Welt vorliegt. Aber abgesehen davon: Wenn wir in der physischen Welt sind, so haben wir ja zunächst jene Welt, die dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein gut bekannt ist, die Welt, in der der Mensch umgeben ist von den drei Naturreichen und von seinem eigenen Reiche; wenn wir aber aufsteigen zu denjenigen Erkenntniskräften — ich habe sie in meinen Büchern die imaginative Erkenntnis genannt —, durch die wir gewahrwerden unseren eigenen ÄÄther- oder Bildekräfteleib, dann betreten wir eben die ätherische Welt. Und wenn wir uns so weit erkraftet haben, wenn wir uns innerlich so durchleuchtet haben, und uns gewissermaßen in dem zweiten Menschen, in dem Bildekräfteleib erleben, dann treten wir auch ein in die Welt, die sich uns wenigstens zunächst in ihren Bildern offenbart, in die Welt der Angeloi, Archangeloi, Archai.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":289,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/84/1923-04-22/p005"}],"english":["GA 84/1923-04-22/p005"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":289,"en_words":296,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.9,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4753,"original_word_count":5285,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LZ0290","book_title":"The Spiritual Development of Man","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA084/English/LZ0290/19230422p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
