All other worlds, with the exception of these three, hardly come into consideration when it is a question of human development; the relevant three are the physical, astral and mental worlds. During the day condition of consciousness, we are in the physical world; there, in a certain sense, we have purely and simply the physical world before us. We must only direct our senses outwards in order to have the physical world as such before us. But the moment we look on the physical world with interest, approach it with feeling, we are already partly in the astral world and only partly in the physical world. Only the beginnings of living purely in the physical world are present today in human life; for example, when one simply contemplates a work of art without experiencing any wish to possess it. Such a contemplation of a work of art is an important act of the soul, when, forgetful of self, one works as though on a spiritual task. This living purely in the physical world, forgetting oneself, is very rare. It is only seldom that nature is looked at in pure contemplation, for usually many other feelings are involved. Nevertheless, this selfless living in physical nature is of the very greatest importance; for only so can man have a true consciousness of self. In all other worlds the ordinary man is still immersed in a world of unconsciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":259,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/93a/1905-10-06/p003","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1905-10-06","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 93a/1905-10-06/p003","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93a/1905-10-06/p003"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":233,"en_words":259,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

It is very rare to have thoughts which are not so connected. Man only has such higher thoughts when senses awaken for the mental world, so that he not only thinks the thoughts, but perceives them around him as beings. He then has the same consciousness of self in the mental world as that possessed by the Chela, the Initiate. When someone tries to eliminate first the physical world around him, then all impulses, passions, changes of mood and so on, usually no thoughts are left. Let us only try to picture everything that influences man inasmuch as he lives in space and time. Let us try to call up before the soul everything connected with the place where we live and the time in which we live. Everything that the soul continually has within it as thoughts is dependent on space and time. All this has a transient value. One must therefore pass on from the reflected impressions of the senses and allow an enduring thought content to live in one in order gradually to develop devachanic senses. A sentence such as that from ‘Light on the Path,’ “Before the eyes can see they must give up tears”,[^1] holds good for all times and all places. When we allow such a sentence to live within us, then something lives in us which is beyond space and time. This is a means, a force, which gradually allows devachanic senses to awaken in the soul for the eternal in the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":261,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/93a/1905-10-06/p005","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1905-10-06","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 93a/1905-10-06/p005","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93a/1905-10-06/p005"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":272,"en_words":261,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

It is only gradually however that he has come into this situation. He was not always in the physical world; only by degrees did he become physical and acquire physical senses. Previously he was on the higher planes. He descended from the Astral Plane to the Physical and before this from the Mental Plane. The latter we divide into two parts, the Lower Mental or Rupa Plane, where everything is already differentiated, and the Upper Mental or Arupa Plane, where everything's undifferentiated in a germinal condition. Man has descended from the Arupa Plane through the Rupa Plane and the Astral Plane to the Physical Plane. Only on the Physical Plane did he become conscious of self. On the Astral Plane he is not conscious of self and on the Rupa and Arupa Planes still less so. On the Physical Plane man for the first time came into contact with external objects in his immediate surroundings. Whenever a being encounters external objects, this marks the beginning of self-awareness. On the higher planes life was still completely enclosed within itself. When man lived on the Astral Plane the only reality he had arose out of his own inner life. This was in its very nature a picture consciousness. Even though this was a vivid experience it was nevertheless only a picture that arose within him. Of this, present daydreams are only a weak reminder. When for instance an astral human being approached salt, this affected him unconsciously and a picture of it would have arisen within him. If he approached someone who was sympathetic to him he would not have seen him externally, but a feeling of sympathy would have arisen within him. This life in the astral was one of absolute selfhood and separateness. Only on the physical plane can man relinquish his separateness, in that through the medium of his senses he perceives objects, merges himself with his surroundings, with the Not-I. Therein lies the importance of the physical plane. If man had not set foot on the physical plane, he would never have been able to relinquish his separateness and turn his senses outwards. This is actually where work on the development of selflessness begins. Everything except pure contemplation of physical things belongs more to the Ego. One must accustom oneself to live on higher planes just as selflessly as man has begun to do on the physical plane, albeit up to now but rarely. The objects of the physical plane compel man to become selfless and to give something to the object, which is Not-I. In regard to wishes, to that which lives in the soul, man still orders his life in accordance with his desires. On the physical plane he must learn to renounce, to free his wishes from self. That is the first step.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":477,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/93a/1905-10-06/p006","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1905-10-06","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 93a/1905-10-06/p006","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93a/1905-10-06/p006"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":483,"en_words":477,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Der Mensch ist aber erst allmählich in diese Lage gekommen. Er war nicht immer in der physischen Welt, er ist erst nach und nach physisch geworden, hat erst nach und nach Sinne bekommen. Vorher war er auf den höheren Planen. In die physische Welt kam er vom Astralplan herunter und vorher von dem Mentalplan. Diesen teilen wir ein in zwei Abteilungen, den unteren Mentalplan oder Rupaplan, wo schon alles differenziert ist, und in den oberen Mental- oder Arupaplan, wo noch alles undifferenziert, samenhaft ist. Der Mensch ist heruntergestiegen von dem Arupaplan durch den Rupaplan und den Astralplan zum physischen Plan. Erst auf dem physischen Plan ist der Mensch selbstbewußt geworden. Auf dem Astralplan ist er jetzt noch nicht selbstbewußt, und auf dem Rupa- und Arupaplan ist er es noch weniger. Auf dem physischen Plan traten dem Menschen zum erstenmal Gegenstände von außen entgegen, unmittelbar in seiner Umgebung. Wenn überhaupt einem Wesen Gegenstände von außen entgegentreten, dann ist der Anfang zum Selbstbewußtsein gemacht. Auf den oberen Planen war das Leben noch ganz im Inneren beschlossen. Als der Mensch auf dem Astralplan lebte, hatte er nur eine Wirklichkeit, die aus seinem eigenen inneren Leben aufstieg. Ein richtiges Bilderbewußtsein hatte er da. Wenn dies auch lebhaft war, so waren es in Wirklichkeit doch nur Bilder, die in seinem Inneren aufstiegen. Die heutigen Träume sind ein schwacher Rest davon. Wenn zum Beispiel ein astraler Mensch sich etwa Salz genähert hätte, so hätte das Salz unbewußt auf ihn gewirkt und es wäre ein Bild davon in ihm aufgestiegen. Das Bild des salzigen Geschmackes wäre in seinem Inneren aufgestiegen. Wenn er auf einen anderen Menschen zugegangen wäre, der ihm sympathisch gewesen wäre, so hätte er ihn nicht von außen gesehen, sondern es wäre in ihm ein Gefühl der Sympathie aufgestiegen. Es war dieses Leben im Astralen ein Leben vollständiger Selbstheit und Sonderheit. Erst auf dem physischen Plane kann der Mensch seine Sonderheit aufgeben, indem er mittels der Sinnesorgane Gegenstände wahrnimmt, zusammenschmilzt mit der Umwelt, mit dem Nicht-Ich. Darin liegt die Wichtigkeit des physischen Planes. Ohne daß der Mensch den physischen Plan betreten hätte, wäre er überhaupt nie dazu gekommen, die Sonderheit aufzugeben und seine Sinne nach außen zu kehren. Tatsächlich beginnt hier die Arbeit an der Selbstlosigkeit. Alles andere als die reine Kontemplation der äußeren physischen Dinge ist noch mehr dem Ego angehörend. Man muß sich gewöhnen, auf höheren Planen ebenso selbstlos zu leben, wie man es auf dem physischen Plane, wenn auch bis jetzt nur spärlich, angefangen hat. Die Gegenstände des physischen Planes zwingen den Menschen, selbstlos zu werden und dem Gegenstande, der nicht «Ich» ist, etwas zu geben. In bezug auf die Wünsche, auf das, was in der Seele liegt, richtet sich der Mensch noch nach seiner Begierde. Er muß auf dem physischen Plane lernen zu entsagen, seine Wünsche zu entselbsten.
