In the course of incarnations, the ego begins to work into the astral body. This makes it more perfect. The ability to distinguish between truth and error is only an achievement of later incarnations. Everything in life must first be learned through experience. Only through error does correct judgment develop. Even mathematical truths arise from the fact that the opposite is false. Human beings continually work on their astral bodies from their egos. For the clairvoyant, there is a great difference between looking at the astral body of a developed person and that of an undeveloped person. As a result of this working through of the astral body, there is a part in all human souls that is still filled with lower instincts and passions, and a part that has been spiritually reworked by the ego. Francis of Assisi, for example, had completely transformed and reworked his astral body. The occultist refers to that part of the astral body that has been reworked by the ego with the Eastern term “manas.”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VIII","site_heading":"Karma, Heredity, and the Evolution of Human Bodies","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.

Im Laufe der Inkarnationen beginnt das Ich in den Astralleib hineinzuarbeiten. Dadurch wird dieser vollkommener. Die Fähigkeit, Wahrheit und Irrtum zu unterscheiden, ist erst eine Errungenschaft der späteren Inkarnationen. Alles im Leben muß erst durch Erfahrungen erlernt werden. Nur durch Irrtum entwickelt sich das richtige Urteil. Auch die mathematischen Wahrheiten ergeben sich daraus, daß das Gegenteil falsch ist. Fortwährend arbeitet der Mensch von seinem Ich aus an seinem Astralleib. Es ist für den Hellseher ein großer Unterschied, den Astralleib eines entwickelten oder eines unentwickelten Menschen anzuschauen. Infolge dieser Durcharbeitung des Astralleibes findet sich in allen Seelen der Menschen ein Teil, der noch von den niederen Trieben und Leidenschaften erfüllt ist, und ein vom Ich geistig umgearbeiteter Teil. Franz von Assisi hatte zum Beispiel seinen Astralleib ganz verwandelt und umgearbeitet. Das, was vom Astralleib durch das Ich umgearbeitet ist, bezeichnet der Okkultist mit dem orientalischen Ausdruck Manas.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":164,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-07-05/p005"}],"english":["GA 94/1906-07-05/p005"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":164,"en_words":190,"ratio":1.16,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1454,"original_word_count":1369,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2023","book_title":"Popular Occultism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA094/English/SOL2023/19060705p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
