The etherisation of the blood means that, starting from the heart as the centre of the blood circulation, the finest physical components of the blood are continuously transformed into etheric substance in the smallest quantities in the waking state of the human being. From the heart towards the head a current of etherised blood rises and plays around and illuminates the pineal gland. These etheric powers of the heart penetrate the brain and radiate even beyond the head (if sufficiently strong, this appears to the imaginative gaze in the head aura as a halo). Only through these etheric forces are we at all able to grasp thoughts that are not completely bound to the egoistic needs of the organism. Aristotle still had an inkling of this. Since the blood of the Christ was shed on Golgotha, the Christ force can unite with this etheric current.

At the same time, astral forces also rise, although they cannot penetrate the skullcap, but accumulate and condense here. But they draw in outer astral forces, which lay themselves over the skull like an astral cap. The inwardly rising astral forces, in which there are desires but also tremendous wisdom, meet here with the outer astral world wisdom. These etheric forces described here are essentially involved in the formation of memory.
