He can make him think that a chair is a horse, or that the chair is not there, or again that there is nobody in a room which is really full of people. The *Initiate* consciously exercises a power whereby he can blot out from his vision the physical body of the person in front of him. Then, in place of the physical body he beholds, not an empty space, but the etheric body. This body somewhat resembles the physical body and yet it is different. It takes on the form of the physical body, extending slightly beyond it. The etheric body is more or less luminous and fluidic. Instead of organs there are currents of diverse colours, the heart being a veritable vortex of forces and streaming currents. The etheric body is the ‘etheric double’ of the material body. Man possesses it in common with the plants. It is not produced by the physical body as naturalists might be led to believe; on the contrary, the etheric body is the builder of every living organism. In the plant, as well as in man, it is the force of growth, rhythm and reproduction.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Wie kann man ihn verstehen? Wir wissen, daß die Hypnose ein anderes Bewußtsein weckt, nicht nur in dem hypnotisierten Subjekt, sondern auch in dem Hypnotiseur, der seiner Versuchsperson alles, was er will, suggerieren kann. Er kann bewirken, daß sie einen Stuhl für ein Pferd hält, aber er kann ihr auch suggerieren, daß der Stuhl nicht da ist oder daß in einem Zim-. mer voller Leute niemand ist. Der Eingeweihte kann nach Belieben diese Fähigkeit auf sich selbst anwenden und sich dazu bringen, den physischen Körper der Person, die er vor sich hat, sich abzusuggerieren. Alsdann bemerkt er anstelle des physischen Leibes nicht eine Leere, sondern den Ätherleib. Dieser Leib ist ähnlich dem physischen Leibe, jedoch etwas von ihm verschieden. Er entlehnt von ihm die Form, geht aber etwas über ihn hinaus. Er ist mehr oder weniger leuchtend und fließend. Seine Organe erscheinen als Strömungen von verschiedenen Farben, und anstelle des Herzens finden wir ein wahres Knäuel von Kräften, einen Wirbel von Strömungen. Der Ätherleib ist also ein wirklicher, ätherischer Doppelgänger des physischen Leibes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":176,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-05-29/p010"},{"locus":"GA 94/1906-05-29/p011","passage_number":11,"text":"Diesen Leib hat der Mensch gemeinsam mit den Pflanzen.
