In a similar way to the human being, higher spiritual beings also have corresponding members of their being.

The term members refers in anthroposophy and theosophy to all the independently appearing elements which in their totality make up the essence of the human being. The human being is not exhausted in the sensually visible material body, but also has higher bodily, soul and spiritual members which can only be experienced supersensually. What thus appears as a multiplicity, however, forms a unity for higher cognition.

„That in higher reality there is a unity, what for human experience separates itself as a multiplicity of seven members[1], remains thereby unchallenged. But this is precisely what higher knowledge is there for: to show the unity in everything that appears to man as a multiplicity in immediate experience because of his physical and spiritual organisation.“ (Lit.:GA 7, p. 112)

In a similar way to the human being, higher spiritual beings also have corresponding members of their being.
