The astral body builds the nervous system into this bodily complex. All unconscious movements, all reflexes depend on the sympathetic nervous system, which extends symmetrically on both sides of the spinal cord. We call the part that extends into the abdominal cavity the solar plexus. In the Lemurian period, the sympathetic nervous system was the actual astral organ of perception. At that time, it was of a different nature and served clairvoyance. Under the influence of the sentient soul, the spinal cord was incorporated, which then became the brain under the influence of the mind soul, with the two cords of the spinal cord puffing up and widening at their ends, as it were. The forebrain did not develop until the end of the Atlantean epoch.

Das heißt, der Mensch wird begreifen lernen, was das Geistselbst eigentlich ist; der Mensch wird drinnenstehen in Manas. Manas wird endlich in sich selbst wirken.

Das Denken mit dem Denken zu begreifen, das Denken im Denken zu erhaschen, die Ewigkeitsschlange fertig zu runden, das ist die Aufgabe der fünften Unterrasse. Das Denken ist das Organ, wo sich zunächst das menschliche Wesen wie an einem Zipfel ergreift. Dies im Menschen anzuregen, ist der Zweck meines Buches «Die Philosophie der Freiheit».","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":107,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-10-31/p012"}],"beads":[{"from":[5],"to":[5],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[6],"to":[6],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[7],"to":[7],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[8],"to":[8],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[9],"to":[9],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[10],"to":[10],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[11],"to":[11],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[12],"to":[12],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
