Our etheric body is now much more influenced by the physical body than it was in the case of the ancient Indians. And so it is that we have to work much more strongly and inwardly to influence the etheric body. We cannot resort to half-dreamlike images. We must subject everything to a sharp concentration, work on our inner being through strong soul concentration into the pure supersensible, not merely through pictorial concepts. Such a conception, which brings about a strong concentration of our inner being, can then have a much stronger effect on the etheric body, which is tied to the physical body. In order for the astral body to be able to influence the etheric body, it used to have to be outside the etheric body. But now the etheric body can also be influenced from within the physical body by the astral body. If we were to perform the same experiment that was common in the ancient mystery centers, and induce lethargy, we would be able to act on the etheric body. But when the consciousness of the earth and the mobility of thinking return, these would immediately extinguish what the astral body has impressed in the ether body. We have to strongly influence the ether body if we want it to retain what we have imprinted on it. The occult task today has become a different one, it is now more inward.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XVII.

Unser Ätherkörper ist heute viel stärker unter dem Einfluss des physischen Körpers, als dies bei den alten Indern der Fall war. Und so kommt es, dass wir viel stärker und innerlicher arbeiten müssen, um den Ätherleib zu beeinflussen. Wir können nicht zu halb traumhaften Vorstellungen greifen. Wir müssen alles einer scharfen Konzentration unterziehen, an unserem Inneren arbeiten durch starke seelische Konzentrierung in das reine Übersinnliche, nicht bloß durch bildhafte Begriffe. Eine solche Vorstellung, die eine starke Konzentration unseres inneren Wesens bewirkt, kann dann viel kräftiger auf den, an den physischen Körper gefesselten Ätherleib wirken. Damit der Astralleib auf den Ätherleib wirken konnte, musste er früher aus dem Ätherleibe heraus sein. Jetzt aber kann der Ätherleib auch innerhalb des physischen Leibes vom Astralleib aus beeinflusst werden. Würden wir dasselbe Experiment machen, das in den alten Mysterienstätten üblich war, und die Lethargie herbeiführen, so würden wir imstande sein, auf den Ätherleib einzuwirken. Aber wenn das Erdenbewusstsein und die Beweglichkeit des Denkens wieder zurückkehrten, würden diese sogleich wieder dasjenige auslöschen, was der Astralleib im Ätherleibe beeindruckt hat. Wir müssen den Ätherleib stark beeinflussen, wenn wir wollen, dass er das, was wir ihm eingeprägt haben, beibehält.
