Organismus. Ela estÃ¡ contida no volume nÃºmero 218 da EdiÃ§Ã£o CentenÃ¡ria Completa [em
inglÃªs, Complete Centenary Edition] dos trabalhos de Rudolf Steiner.
Chegamos agora a um conceito extraordinariamente sutil. Pense em como, de fora, temos que viver nossas aÃ§Ãµes novamente com nosso ego e com nosso corpo astral. A capacidade de fazÃª-lo Ã© adquirida na proporÃ§Ã£o do grau de amor que desenvolvemos. Esse Ã© o segredo da vida, no que diz respeito ao amor. Se um homem Ã© realmente capaz de desprender-se de si mesmo no amor, amando ao prÃ³ximo como a si mesmo, aprende o que precisa durante o sono para experienciar, ao contrÃ¡rio, plenamente e sem dor, o que deve ser vivenciado dessa forma. Porque, nesta hora, ele deve estar completamente fora de si mesmo. Se um homem Ã© um ser sem amor, surge uma sensaÃ§Ã£o quando, fora de si, ele tem que experimentar as aÃ§Ãµes que realizou sem amor. Isso o retÃ©m. Pessoas sem amor dormem como se â€“ para usar uma metÃ¡fora â€“ tivessem falta de fÃ´lego. Assim, tudo o que somos capazes de cultivar em nÃ³s por meio do amor se torna verdadeiramente frutÃfero durante o sono. E o que Ã© assim desenvolvido entre irmos dormir e acordar atravessa o portÃ£o da morte e subsiste no mundo espiritual. Aquilo que se perde entre a morte e o renascimento, quando vivemos junto aos os seres espirituais dos mundos superiores, Ã© recuperado por nÃ³s como uma semente, durante a vida terrena, por meio do amor. Pois o amor revela seu significado quando, com seu ego e corpo astral, o homem, dormindo, estÃ¡ fora de seu corpo fÃsico e corpo etÃ©rico. Entre ir dormir e acordar, seu ser essencial se amplia, se ele estÃ¡ cheio de amor, e se prepara bem para o que lhe acontecerÃ¡ depois da morte. Se ele nÃ£o tem amor e estÃ¡ mal preparado para o que lhe acontecerÃ¡ apÃ³s a morte, seu ser se estreita. A semente para o que acontece apÃ³s a morte repousa preeminentemente no desdobramento do amor.
Estudem a crianÃ§a atÃ© a troca de dentes. NotarÃ£o como o poder da lembranÃ§a, da memÃ³ria, gradualmente se desdobra. Inicialmente, Ã© bastante elementar. A crianÃ§a possui certa memÃ³ria, mas ela se torna uma forÃ§a independente apenas no momento de troca da dentiÃ§Ã£o, estando completa em seu desenvolvimento quando a crianÃ§a estÃ¡ madura para a escola. SÃ³ a partir daÃ que podemos comeÃ§ar a edificar a memÃ³ria. Antes disso, ao enfatizarmos a memÃ³ria, tornamos a crianÃ§a rÃgida e criamos uma condiÃ§Ã£o de alma esclerÃ³tica para sua vida posterior. Quando lidamos com crianÃ§as antes da troca de dentes, trata-se de receberem as impressÃµes do presente da maneira correta. Ã‰ entre a troca da dentiÃ§Ã£o e a puberdade que podemos empreender a edificaÃ§Ã£o da memÃ³ria.
