As you see, we live our life from within-outwards.

Es ist ein gewaltiger Unterschied in der Astralwelt, ob man einen Gedanken ausspricht, der wahr ist, oder einen erlogenen. Ein Gedanke bezieht sich auf irgendeine Sache und ist dadurch wahr, daß er mit der Sache übereinstimmt. Es trägt sich zum Beispiel irgendwo eine Tatsache zu, und von dieser geschieht eine Wirkung in die höheren Welten hinauf. Jemand erzählt diese Tatsache wahr: dann strahlt vom Erzähler ein Astralgebilde auf, das sich mit dem von der Tatsache selbst herrührenden Gebilde vereinigt, und beide verstärken sich. Diese verstärkten Formen dienen dazu, unsere geistige Welt immer gegliederter und inhaltsvoller zu machen, wie wir sie brauchen, wenn die Menschheit vorwärtskommen will. Erzählt man die Tatsache nun aber so, daß sie nicht mit dem Geschehnis übereinstimmt, daß sie erlogen ist, dann trifft die Gedankenform des Erzählenden zusammen mit der, welche von der Tatsache ausgeht, beide prallen aufeinander und eine gegenseitige Zerstörung geschieht. Solche explosionsartigen Zerstörungen durch Lügen wirken, wie ein Geschwür am Leibe wirkt, das den Organismus zerstört. So töten Lügen die astralen Gebilde, die entstanden sind und entstehen müssen, und hemmen oder töten so einen Teil der Entwickelung. Tatsächlich bringt ein jeder, der die Wahrheit sagt, die Entwickelung der Menschheit vorwärts, und der, welcher lügt, hemmt dieselbe. Daher gibt es ein okkultes Gesetz: Die Lüge ist, geistig angesehen, ein Mord. Sie tötet nicht nur ein Astralgebilde, sondern sie ist auch ein Selbstmord. Ein jeder, welcher lügt, legt sich selbst Hindernisse in den Weg. Überall sind solche Wirkungen in der geistigen Welt zu beobachten. So sieht auch der Hellseher, daß alles, was man denkt, fühlt und empfindet, seine Wirkungen auf dem Astralplan hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":276,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/99/1907-05-30/p009"},{"locus":"GA 99/1907-05-30/p010","passage_number":10,"text":"Alles, was der Mensch an Neigungen, Temperament, bleibenden Charaktereigenschaften hat, was man nicht nur vorübergehend denkt, strahlt fortwährend nicht nur bis in die astrale Welt, sondern bis in die devachanische Welt hinein.

Viele Menschen jammern zum Beispiel über Schmerz und Leid. Aber von einem höheren Gesichtspunkte aus ist es gar nicht berechtigt, darüber zu jammern, denn sind sie überwunden und ist man bereit zu einer nächsten Verkörperung, dann sind Leid und Schmerzen die Quellen von Weisheit und Besonnenheit und einem Überschauen der Dinge. Sogar in einer neueren Schrift, die aus der materialistischen Anschauungsart der Gegenwart entstanden ist, finden wir den Ausspruch, daß in der Physiognomie eines jeden Denkers etwas zu finden ist wie kristallisierter Schmerz. Das, was da der materialistisch denkende Schriftsteller sagt, ist dem Okkultisten längst bekannt, denn die größte Weisheit der Welt wird erworben durch das ruhige Ertragen von Schmerz und Leid.

Krankheiten, die man erträgt, kommen im nächsten Leben oftmals als besondere Schönheit in der Körperlichkeit zum Vorschein, so daß viel körperliche Schönheit, die man beim Menschen findet, durch Krankheit im vorhergehenden Leben errungen ist. Das ist der Zusammenhang zwischen der Verletzung des Körpers durch Krankheit, namentlich auch durch äußere Verhältnisse, und der Schönheit. Man kann auf diesen ganz merkwürdigen Zusammenhang das Wort des französischen Schriftstellers Fabre d’Olivet anwenden: Wenn man das Menschenleben betrachtet, erscheint es oft so wie das Entstehen der Perle in der Perlenmuschel. Erst durch eine Krankheit der Muschel entsteht die Perle. — So ist es tatsächlich auch im Menschenleben: Schönheit steht karmisch im Zusammenhang mit Krankheiten und ist deren Ergebnis. Wenn ich nun aber sagte: Wer schlechte Leidenschaften entwickelt, der schafft sich die Disposition zu Krankheiten —, so muß man streng festhalten, daß es sich hier um die innere Disposition zu Erkrankungen handelt.
