Look at a child. One could be tempted to say that these innocent features came from the father or mother, an uncle or an ancestor. However, everything within the child expresses itself in the features, in the gestures of the hands and in all its movements. What slumbers in the child strives to come to expression. Finally the individual emerges and the physiognomy becomes an expression of the individual soul, while previously it showed more of a family type. In primitive man the individual soul is usually still slumbering and has but a meagre existence. In the course of many incarnations and efforts the individual emerges, the soul aquires more power over the physical body, and the physiognomy takes on the imprint, or the expression of the inner man. An immature person expresses little of the power of the soul. Gradually man matures, and full maturity is reached when the inner word has become flesh completely—when the outer has become an exact imprint of the inner, so that the spirit shines through the flesh. This however, John only understood once his higher self had appeared clearly before his astral eyes. It stood in front of his astral eyes and he knew: This is I. Today have I experienced it on the astral plane. However it will gradually descend as it did in Him, who I followed. This is the deep relationship between Christ Jesus and the divine man that exists in every man. This is the deep inner experience of John.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":275,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/94/1906-02-19/p028","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1906-02-19","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 94/1906-02-19/p026","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p026"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 94/1906-02-19/p026"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":291,"en_words":295,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

The number 165 should not be read as 165 but as 561—as reflected writing. Everything appears reversed on the astral plane. Even time is reversed. When you follow someone on the astral plane you start, to begin with, from where he is. Then you go back to his birth. You can follow him on the physical plane forwards; on the astral plane backwards. Leaving the physical body is like this: It is as though we were leaving the temple of the physical body and were laid hold of from all sides. This is the occurrence which John wants to describe. He left his body in order to experience the Christ, his own higher divine self, confronting him. People around him have their astral bodies bound strongly to their physical bodies as if with fetters. Had John remained like them he would have continued to be fettered to his physical body. Now let us read how this occurrence is described pictorially and symbolically in the John Gospel, chapter 8, verses 58 and 59: “Jesus said unto them, verily, verily I say unto you: Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them”, through the hindrances. With this ends the eighth chapter. This is the passing out of the astral body from the physical body. The final act, leading to the leaving of the physical body and to higher vision, usually lasts three days. When these three days are up, one attains a consciousness on the astral plane comparable to that previously experienced on the physical plane. Then one is united with the higher world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":303,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/94/1906-02-19/p033","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1906-02-19","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 94/1906-02-19/p030","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p030"},{"locus":"GA 94/1906-02-19/p031","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p031"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 94/1906-02-19/p030","GA 94/1906-02-19/p031"],"length_check":{"de_words":311,"en_words":303,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Kann etwas in uns bewußt werden, das bloß in unserem Inneren lebt? Solange es bloß in unserem Inneren lebt, ist es uns nicht bewußt. Was subjektiv ist, was der Mensch in sich trägt, dessen ist er sich nicht bewußt. Ich möchte einen groben Vergleich gebrauchen, um das zu verdeutlichen. Sie alle haben ein physisches Gehirn, aber Sie sehen es nicht. Man müßte es herausschneiden, dann könnten Sie es sehen. Derselbe Grund, nur in einer etwas anderen Weise, liegt vor dafür, daß Sie Ihr höheres Ich nicht sehen. Es ist das Ich in Ihnen drinnen. Es muß aber heraus, wenn Sie es wahrnehmen sollen, und das kann nur auf dem astralischen Plan geschehen. Wenn es herausgeht und vor Ihnen ist, dann ist in geistiger Beziehung dasselbe geschehen, wie wenn Sie auf einen Teller ein physisches Gehirn legen und es zum Objekte Ihrer sinnlichen Anschauung machen würden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":152,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p027"},{"locus":"GA 94/1906-02-19/p028","passage_number":28,"text":"Diesen Vorgang schildert der Schreiber des Johannes-Evangeliums: Das eigene höhere Ich tritt vor ihn, das eigene höhere Ich, das in seiner Vollendung den Christus darstellt. Wenn Sie das wissen, dann erst werden Sie gewisse Andeutungen, gewisse Wahrheiten der ersten Kapitel des Johannes-Evangeliums verstehen können. Einzelnes werden Sie sehr gut verstehen, wenn Sie nur das nehmen, was ich bis jetzt schon gesagt habe. Man bezeichnet in der okkulten Sprache dasjenige, worin zunächst dieses Ich wohnt, den physischen Körper, den es sich aufgebaut hat, um darin zu wohnen, als den Tempel. So daß man sagt: Die Seele wohnt in dem Tempel.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":99,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p028"},{"locus":"GA 94/1906-02-19/p029","passage_number":29,"text":"Es ist nun keine ganz schmerzlose Prozedur, wenn die Seele zum ersten Male aus dem Tempel des Leibes herausgehen soll, so daß sie draußen sichtbar ist. Dieses Verlassen des Leibes ist nicht schmerzlos. Alles, was diesen höheren Zusammenhang mit dem physischen Leibe bildet, das sind nicht so leicht zu lösende Fesseln, was Sie sich ungefähr so vorstellen können: Nehmen Sie an, Sie sind mit einem Gegenstande durch Fesseln verbunden und reißen ihn los - Sie werden schmerzliche Eindrücke durch dieses Zerreißen haben. Das ist durchaus ein Vorgang wie ein Zerreißen, wenn der Astralleib herausgeht aus dem physischen Leib, wenn er wahrnehmbar herausgeht. Das Heraustreten beim Schlaf ist etwas anderes, da nimmt der Mensch überhaupt nichts wahr. Tritt er aber bewußt heraus, dann werden die Schmerzen wahrnehmbar.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":126,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p029"},{"locus":"GA 94/1906-02-19/p030","passage_number":30,"text":"Wenn der Mensch nun anfängt, astral bewußt zu werden, dann treten ihm die Dinge auf dem Astralplan im Spiegelbild entgegen. 165 dürfen Sie nicht 165 lesen, sondern 561, also wie im Spiegelbild geschrieben. Alles erscheint im Astralplan umgekehrt. Sogar die Zeit ist umgekehrt. Wenn Sie einen Menschen auf dem Astralplan verfolgen, so gehen Sie zunächst aus von dem Orte, wo er ist. Dann können Sie zurückgehen bis zu seiner Geburt. Rückwärts können Sie ihn verfolgen; auf dem physischen Plane — vorwärts, auf dem astralen Plane - zurück. So erscheint uns das Heraustreten aus der physischen Körperlichkeit. Es ist, wie wenn wir den Tempel des Leibes verlassen würden und gepackt würden von allen Seiten. Das ist der ° Vorgang, den Johannes schildern will, der darin besteht, daß er aus sich herausgetreten ist, um den Christus, sein eigenes höheres göttliches Selbst, vor sich zu erleben. Die Menschen, die um ihn herum sind, sind so, daß sie streng, wie mit Fesseln, ihren Astralleib an ihren physischen Leib gefesselt haben. Wäre Johannes so geblieben wie sie, dann wäre er weiterhin an den physischen Leib gefesselt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":181,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p030"},{"locus":"GA 94/1906-02-19/p031","passage_number":31,"text":"Nun lesen Sie, wie dieser Vorgang bildlich, symbolisch im Johannes-Evangelium Kapitel 8, Verse 58 und 59, geschildert ist: «Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: ehe denn Abraham ward, bin ich. - Da hoben sie Steine auf, daß sie auf ihn würfen. Aber Jesus verbarg sich und ging zum Tempel hinaus, mitten durch sie hindurchstreichend», durch die Hindernisse. Damit endet das achte Kapitel. Das ist der Vorgang des Heraustretens des Astralleibes aus dem physischen Leibe. Gewöhnlich dauert solch ein Vorgang, ein letzter Akt, der zu diesem Heraustreten führt, um den Menschen völlig sehend zu machen, drei Tage. Wenn diese drei Tage um sind, dann erlangt der Mensch ein ebensolches Bewußtsein auf dem astralen Plan wie früher auf dem physischen Plan. Dann vereinigt er sich mit der höheren Welt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":130,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-02-19/p031"}],"beads":[{"from":[27],"to":[25],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[28,29],"to":[26],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[30],"to":[27],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[31],"to":[28],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[32],"to":[29],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[33],"to":[30,31],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
