"The 'I' acquires being and meaning from that with which it is connected." With these simple words in the book Theosophy, Rudolf Steiner sets the tone for a complex nexus: One’s own existence receives the imprint of the object of its activity. That with which 'the I' bonds is on the one hand connected to the past (body), can be taken hold of and shaped in the present (soul), and can lead to capacities to bring to realization one’s own existence out of future possibilities (spirit).
