Our inquiries have led us to a picture of man as a sensible-supersensible organism composed of three dynamic aggregates – physical, etheric, astral. As three rungs of a spiritual ladder they point to a fourth, which represents that particular power in man by which he distinguishes himself from all other beings in nature. For what makes man differ from all these is that he is not only fitted, as they are, with a once-for-all given mode of spiritual-physical existence peculiar to himself, but that he is endowed with the possibility of transforming his existence by dint of his free will – that indeed his manhood is based on this capacity for self-willed Becoming.
