Thus the attitude of mind, the tendency to think along particular lines, works upon the physical body. A spiritual or a materialistic attitude of mind is by no means without importance for the next incarnation. A man who has some knowledge of the higher worlds—he need only believe in their existence—has in his next life a well centred physical body and tranquil nervous system, a body which he has well in hand, including the very nerves. On the other hand, a man who believes in nothing except what is to be found in the world of the senses, communicates this kind of thinking to his physical body and in the next incarnation has a body prone to nervous diseases, a frail, fidgety body in which there is no steadfast centre of will. The materialist scatters himself in pure details; the Spirit binds together, for Spirit is Unity!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Aus einer gewissen intimen Erkenntnis des Karmagesetzes ist überhaupt die geisteswissenschaftliche Bewegung hervorgegangen. Sie haben eben gesehen, wie Dinge, die im Ätherleib liegen, im nächsten Leben auf den physischen Leib wirken. So wirkt die Gesinnung, die Neigung zu denken, in einer ganz bestimmten Art zu denken, auf den physischen Leib, und so ist es für eine nachfolgende Inkarnation nicht gleichgültig, ob Sie in Ihrer Gesinnung spirituell oder materialistisch sind. Ein Mensch, der etwas von höheren Welten weiß — er braucht nur an die höheren Welten zu glauben —, hat in seinem nächsten Leben einen zentrierten physischen Leib, dessen Nervensystem ruhig wirkt, den er in der Hand hat, bis in die Nerven hinein. Ein Mensch dagegen, der nur gelten lassen will, was in der Sinnenwelt ist, der pflanzt diese Gesinnung fort auf seinen physischen Leib und hat in der nächsten Verkörperung einen solchen, der zu Nervenkrankheiten disponiert ist, einen zappeligen physischen Leib, der keinen festen Willensmittelpunkt hat.
