Consciousness soul

From AnthroWiki

The consciousness soul (German: Bewusstseinsseele) is a transformed part of the astral body. During the Earth's evolution it emerged, when during the hyperborean time after the separation of the sun the earth condensed to the water state and the etheric body of the humans at the same time condensed to the light ether (Lit.:GA 13, p. 225). The stimulators of the consciousness soul are the Jupiter beings (Lit.: GA 98, p. 198, GA 102, p. 59f). The consciousness soul is further formed by the I working unconsciously reshaping the physical body and reflecting this activity back into the astral body. This unconscious work of the I began at the end of the atlantic time and is striving towards a climax in our present cultural epoch. The consciousness soul is born as an independent member of the human beeing at the age of 35. Through appropriate spiritual training the consciousness soul is transformed into the imaginative soul (Lit.:GA 145, p. 176f). At the same time, the spirit self is already initially formed.
