Eurythmy is not something arbitrary, arising from the same spirit as other contemporary endeavors. It asks: What movements are best for the ether body of the modern human being in pedagogical and hygienic terms, what movements best lead to an understanding of true artistry and best immerse the human being in full, true life? I therefore believe that eurythmy will become popular in our circles and be accepted as something that can help a great deal. You cannot teach your children Anthroposophy directly, but they can do eurythmy and will be able to cope with the life they are heading for in a completely different way than if they do not do eurythmy.
