Overview of the human nervous system

The nervous system is a part of the nerve-sense system and is divided into two main areas, namely the somatic nervous system, which was predisposed on the Old Moon, and the vegetative nervous system, which was already prepared on the Old Sun. The somatic (animal) nervous system is primarily the direct physical expression of the astral body. The cranial nerves are subject to the I-organisation.

The structure, function and development of the nervous system is studied by specialised sciences such as neurobiology, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy and other neurosciences. The medical discipline that deals with the functions, diseases and healing possibilities of the nervous system is neurology.

Nervous System and the Members of Man

„In the sympathetic nervous system, which penetrates the digestive organs, the etheric body predominates. The nervous organs which come into consideration here are of themselves only living organs. The astral and I-organisation do not organise them internally, but from outside. Therefore the influence of the I and the astral organisation, which are active in these nervous organs, is a strong one. Affects and passions have a lasting, significant effect on the sympathetic nervous system. Grief and worry gradually destroy this nervous system.

The spinal cord nervous system with all its branches is the one in which the astral organisation primarily intervenes. It is therefore the carrier of what is soulish in man, of the reflex processes, but not of what goes on in the I, in the self-conscious spirit.

The actual cranial nerves are those which are subject to the I-organisation. In them the activities of the etheric and astral organisation stand back.“ (Lit.:GA 27, p. 40f)
