	The [[etheric forebone]], occasionally also called the [[elementary backbone]] by [[Rudolf Steiner]], is an etheric organ which will in future be formed at the front of the [[human being]] as a counterpart and complement to the [[backbone]], with which it will later combine to form a closed system. It thus forms a kind of second, though purely etheric, spinal column. Through [[spiritual training]], if it is done in the right way, this development is already anticipated to a certain extent today {{GZ\|\|266b\|119}}.

	The etheric forebone, which descends in front from the head, is organised by the joint activity of the [[pineal gland\|pineal]] (''epiphysis cerebri'') and [[pituitary gland]] (''hypophysis'') and already announces itself today in the chain of chakras, which, however, are not etheric but astral organs. These soul organs, which are formed and activated in the astral body through meditation, push themselves off in the etheric body and thus gradually form the forebone. It lies behind the breastbone, which, however, man will no longer have in the [[7th post-Atlantean age]], when the forebone reaches maturity. {{GZ\|\|224\|40f}}		The etheric forebone, which descends in front from the head, is organised by the joint activity of the [[pineal gland\|pineal]] (''epiphysis cerebri'') and [[pituitary gland]] (''hypophysis'') and already announces itself today in the chain of chakras, which, however, are not etheric but astral organs.

	{{GZ\|Just as it has already been mentioned that that which - developed in a spiritual way - can lead to high virtues in the spiritual world, if allowed to flow down into the sense world, can lead to the strongest vices, so it is also with regard to the chakras and the elementary backbone. It is also possible to awaken the chakras and the elementary spine by certain actions without seeking moral firmness, but no conscientious clairvoyant will recommend this. The moment one crosses the threshold to the spiritual world, one comes close to the Luciferic and Ahrimanic beings in quite a different way from the way one encounters them in the physical-sensual world. And one experiences the peculiar thing, as soon as one has crossed the threshold, that is, as soon as one has lotus flowers and a backbone, that one immediately sees the Luciferic powers approaching.

In the spiritual world it is the other way round: there the Luciferic beings come from without and want to seize the lotus flowers, and the Ahrimanic beings come from within and establish themselves in the elementary backbone. And now, if one has not ascended in morality into the spiritual world, the ahrimanic and the luciferic powers form a strange alliance with each other.

All the leaves of the lotuses are tied together with the elemental backbone, man is tied up in himself, bound up in himself by his developed lotuses and by his elementary backbone.

	The formation of the etheric fore-bone is related to the process of memory formation. This is based on the fact that, on the one hand, a stream of etherised blood flows up from the heart and plays around the pineal gland, which now emits these forces like fine rays of light. On the other hand, a second etheric current flows upwards with the lymph fluid from the lower organism to the hypophysis. Memory is formed by balancing the tension between these two currents and absorbing what is to be remembered into the depths of the organism. This also applies to those forces that are stored up in the organs for the next incarnation. In conventional memory formation, what is first imprinted on the etheric body is passed on to the physical body. This does not happen with spiritual training. All the forces remain in the etheric body, are strengthened and thus make the etheric body a suitable living organ of reflection through which the experiences of the chakras can become conscious.

	{{GZ\|Seven such astral organs are distinguished. The first, the two-petalled lotus, is in the region of the root of the nose; the second, the sixteen-petalled, is at the level of the larynx; the third, the twelve-petalled, at the level of the heart; the fourth, the eight to ten-petalled, near the navel; the fifth, the six-petalled, a little lower down; the sixth, the four-petalled, still lower down, the swastika, which is connected with all that is fertilisation; the seventh cannot readily be spoken of. These six organs have the same significance for the soul world as the physical senses have for the perception of the sense world.\|94\|173}}		{{GZ\|Seven such astral organs are distinguished.

These six organs have the same significance for the soul world as the physical senses have for the perception of the sense world. An image of this is the so-called swastika. Through the above-mentioned exercises they first become lighter, then they begin to move. In today's man they are immobile, in the Atlantean they were still mobile, in the Lemurian they were still very lively. But they turned in the opposite direction then than they do today in the occultly evolved, where they turn clockwise. An analogy to the dreamlike clairvoyant state of the Lemurians is the fact that even in the mediums of today with atavistic clairvoyance the lotuses still turn in the direction as they once did in the Atlantean and Lemurian times, namely, counter-clockwise. The clairvoyance of mediums is an unconscious one, without thought-control, but that of the genuine clairvoyant is conscious and closely supervised by thought. The mediumship is very dangerous, but the healthy secret training is entirely harmless.\|94\|173}}

	In oriental tradition the seventh lotus flower, of which Rudolf Steiner does not speak further here, is largely unanimously called the thousand-petalled lotus flower. It is located as the parietal chakra near the pineal gland. Its activity is revealed in the head aura of the human being, in the halo.

	In the [[Atlantis\|Atlantean age]], the lotus flowers were still mobile, in the [[Lemuria\|Lemurian period]] they even moved very violently, but turned counterclockwise. This is also the case with today's mediums with atavistic [[clairvoyance]]. The clairvoyance of mediums, however, is an unconscious one that is not subject to thought control {{GZ\|\|94\|173}}.

			{{Main\|Etheric forebone}}

			The [[etheric forebone]], occasionally also called the [[elementary backbone]] by [[Rudolf Steiner]], is an etheric organ which will in future be formed at the front of the [[human being]] as a counterpart and complement to the [[backbone]], with which it will later combine to form a closed system. It thus forms a kind of second, though purely etheric, spinal column. Through [[spiritual training]], if it is done in the right way, this development is already anticipated to a certain extent today {{GZ\|\|266b\|119}}.

			The etheric forebone, which descends in front from the head, is organised by the joint activity of the [[pineal gland\|pineal]] (''epiphysis cerebri'') and [[pituitary gland]] (''hypophysis'') and already announces itself today in the chain of chakras, which, however, are not etheric but astral organs. These soul organs, which are formed and activated in the astral body through meditation, push themselves off in the etheric body and thus gradually form the forebone. It lies behind the breastbone, which, however, man will no longer have in the [[7th post-Atlantean age]], when the forebone reaches maturity. {{GZ\|\|224\|40f}}

			=== Importance of moral development ===

			If moral development is insufficient, the elementary backbone and the system of the chakras very easily become a point of attack for the adversary powers. The Luciferic powers push in more from the outside and seize the astral system of the chakras, while the Ahrimanic powers seize the etheric forebone. The system of the chakras is thus constricted with the etheric forebone and man is, as it were, bound within himself. Thereby a degree of egoism, lust for power and love of deception is formed which is quite unthinkable if man remains firmly in the physical world without spiritual training.

			{{GZ\|Just as it has already been mentioned that that which - developed in a spiritual way - can lead to high virtues in the spiritual world, if allowed to flow down into the sense world, can lead to the strongest vices, so it is also with regard to the chakras and the elementary backbone.

They are also called '''lotus flowers''', derived from the sacred [[w:Indian lotus\|Indian lotus]] (''[[w:Nelumbo nucifera\|Nelumbo nucifera]]''), because they show themselves to the clairvoyant gaze in a circular, flower-like form, which justifies their name. In modern man they stand still, but can be set in motion through spiritual training. In the advanced clairvoyant they rotate clockwise and thus open up to him the view into the spiritual world. Modern clairvoyance is associated with strict thought control.

	In the [[Atlantis\|Atlantean age]], the lotus flowers were still mobile, in the [[Lemuria\|Lemurian period]] they even moved very violently, but turned counterclockwise. This is also the case with today's mediums with atavistic [[clairvoyance]]. The clairvoyance of mediums, however, is an unconscious one that is not subject to thought control {{GZ\|\|94\|173}}.
