In regard to what belongs to the brain and spinal cord, man first works consciously on the physical plane through the human ego [Gap in the text ...] He has at present no influence on anything else. He has for instance no influence on the circulation of the blood. Such things are developed by degrees. Here other beings co-operate, Deva beings, so that all creatures having a blood circulation are dependent on Deva forces for its regulation. The astral body is permeated and worked upon by different Deva forces. The lowest work on the astral body. Higher forces work on the etheric body and still higher Devas on the physical body, the most perfected body possessed by man. The astral body is strikingly less perfect than the physical body. The physical heart is indeed very clever; the stupid one is the astral body, that directs into the heart all kinds of heart poisons. The most perfect part of man is the physical body, less perfect is the etheric body and still less perfect is the astral body. What is only in its beginnings, the ‘baby’ in man, is the ego Organisation. This is the four-fold man, which contains the ego as the temple contains the statue of a god.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XII","site_heading":"The Four-Fold Human Being and Evolutionary Development","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

An dem, was zum Gehirn und zum Rückenmark gehört, arbeitet der Mensch erst auf dem physischen Plane bewußt durch das menschliche Ich ... (Lücke im Text.) Auf anderes hat der Mensch zunächst keinen Einfluß. Er hat zum Beispiel keinen Einfluß auf den Umlauf des Blutkreislaufes. Nach und nach bilden sich erst solche Dinge heraus. Da arbeiten andere Geister, Devanaturen mit, so daß alle Wesen, sofern sie einen Blutkreislauf haben, darauf angewiesen sind, daß Devakräfte diesen regeln. Den Astralleib durchsetzen und bearbeiten äußere Devakräfte. Die niedrigsten arbeiten am Astralleibe. Höhere Kräfte arbeiten am Ätherleib und noch höhere Devas am physischen Körper, an dem vollkommensten, den der Mensch hat. Der Astralleib ist bedeutend weniger vollkommen als der physische Körper. Das physische Herz ist tatsächlich sehr gescheit, aber was dumm ist, ist der Astralkörper, der dem Herzen alle möglichen Herzgifte zuführt. Das Vollkommenste am Menschen ist der physische Leib, weniger vollkommen ist der Ätherleib, noch weniger vollkommen ist der Astralleib. Das was eben anfängt, das «Baby» im Menschen, ist das Ich.
