			{{GZ\|Let us look at the cerebral fluid. It has certain movements within itself. They are an image of the etheric body. But man acquires the etheric body by descending from the spiritual worlds into this physical world; he does not yet have it within the spiritual worlds. But when man takes hold of his physical body, he already has his etheric body. In a sense, he draws the ether from the cosmos. And only when he has drawn the ether from the cosmos can he unite with the physical, which is then imparted to him through heredity. So that we already bring with us that which lives inwardly in the etheric body of man by taking hold of our physical body.

			Suppose, then, that the human germ comes into being in the body of the maternal organism. We examine that which is liquid in this human germ. This is not done in ordinary physiology. In ordinary physiology, one only examines the germ in so far as it contains solid matter or at least in so far as it can be observed as solid matter. The liquid is not examined at all. But if one were to examine the liquid, one would discover how in the liquid, especially in the cerebral fluid, there is an image of what has slipped into the physical man and what was first expressed in the etheric body when the ether was brought in.

			Thus we can say: When the physical body is here (see drawing), when the physical germ of man is formed - I am not drawing the solid now; what I am drawing there is to be the liquid germ of man (red) - that which is present as I and astral comes down from the spiritual world. What has already been drawn in as ether (yellow) slips in here. By simply submerging the human being in the physical body, that which the human being brings in from outside is absorbed into the liquid organism. So if you were to examine the cerebral fluid of the child in its movements, you would have to say: This is actually a photograph of what the human being was before he united with his physical body. You see, this is very important, that one can actually say: In the cerebrospinal fluid, that is, in the movements of the cerebrospinal fluid, one would find a photograph of what preceded the conception.\|212\|58f}}

			== Creation out of light ==

			Using the [[butterfly]] as an example, we can see that all animal beings, as well as man, are created out of light.
