astral levels opens. Primary matters then flow over to the astral level and start the
development of the neurons’ astral body (Chapter 2).

In human beings, a child’s brain should absorb a certain critical amount of information,

preferably of high quality. A variety of many kinds of information should be absorbed
before the age of 4 to 6 years for the overall development of the brain. If the brain does
not receive a critical, minimal amount of information by the age of 4-6 years, its
neurons fail to fully develop etheric bodies. Only full development of the etheric body
can provide the necessary changes in a neuron’s microcosmic curvature to open the

qualitative barrier between the etheric and astral levels. A brain without a fully
developed etheric body cannot evolve any further. It can provide all the biologically
necessary requirements of an organism, but it would be impossible to discern any
signs of intelligence in the thinking and actions of such a child. The condition just
described occurs in only two situations:

a) When the child’s brain does not receive at least a minimal quantity and quality

of information from the external environment, or the quality and quantity of the
information that is received is not sufficient to change the qualitative structure of
the cerebral neurons. An example illustrating this point can be taken from the real
life cases of the “Mowgli,” small children, who, by chance, are raised by wild animals.
Their behavior and life style are entirely consonant with the behavior and life style of
the animals that nurtured them. When such children are brought into human society,
they continue behaving like animals and are never able to acquire human behavioral

traits.

b) Sometimes it is impossible for a child’s brain to develop normally because of
genetic problems or the existence of various types of infections and their secreted
toxins present in the cerebrospinal fluid. This results in inborn or acquired mental
retardation with varying degrees of severity. In some cases there is no development at

all, or when it does occur, it is so far below normal that it also eventuates in mental
retardation.

However, if the brain receives the required quantities and qualities of information in
time, the necessary change in the microcosmic curvature of the neurons is effected and
the qualitative barrier between the etheric and astral levels disappears. This initiates
the formation and evolutionary development of the astral bodies of the cerebral

neurons. Upon completion of the development of the neuronal astral body, the
microscopic curvature of the neuron changes by a value of ∆λ'3 (Chapter 2) and the
qualitative barrier between the astral and mental levels of the cerebral neurons
disappears.

Conditions are then established for the formation and evolution of the mental bodies

of the neuron. Along with the evolution of each of the bodies (etheric, astral, and
mental) the properties of the physical neurons change significantly as does the ability
