I have given these both talks within this small circle by means of which I wanted to stimulate the sensation in you to look at that what spiritual science intends for the whole human life universally. If I succeeded in doing so, it would be already enough. Since the task of spiritual science is not really fulfilled if we learn single theoretical concepts. The task of spiritual science is fulfilled if it intervenes in everything, in every life, and spiritualises this life. It is inevitable in our fifth culture-epoch within that nation to which this task is assigned to cause spiritualisation, to understand these matters, to cause a sense of responsibility concerning development. It is easy to criticise the human development, rather easy. However, this does not concern, because the matters which happen happen with necessity, even if they counter that which as it were the good progress intends with the human beings.

One does not know it, but one maltreats them. Since there is basically nothing more countering the human nature than to let start the children from the seventh year already learning the school objects and to teach them as pupils as one does it presently. One would really experience something especially advantageous if one grew up quite differently and such matters that are taught already in the seventh year would be taught only in the ninth or tenth years. Mind you, that I do not say this intending that it should not happen, because the general cultural progress demands it, it must be like that. But the counter pole must be created. And particularly while we maltreat the etheric bodies of the children terribly on one side because we have certain types of school lessons because we stamp something into them for which they are good in no way during these years, we must create eurythmy as a counter pole and supply just that what is eurythmy for the children, so that their etheric bodies have the balance in these movements indigenous to them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":223,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/159/1915-03-14/p044","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1915-03-14","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 159/1915-03-14/p029","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-14/p029"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":534,"en_words":547,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Wir haben, um den Nerv der Sache zu verstehen, eben einiges gehört, woran man heute gar nicht einmal denkt, und wenn ich durch diese beiden Vorträge, die ich jetzt in diesem engeren kleinen Kreise gehalten habe, wirklich nichts anderes erreiche, als daß in Ihnen die Empfindung angeregt wird, man müsse noch mehr auf das hinschauen, was Geisteswissenschaft in universeller Beziehung für das ganze menschliche Leben will, so ist das schon genug. Denn damit, daß wir uns einzelne theoretische Begriffe aneignen, wird wirklich die Aufgabe der Geisteswissenschaft nicht erfüllt. Die Aufgabe der Geisteswissenschaft wird erfüllt, wenn sie eingreift in alles, alles Leben, und dieses Leben durchgeistigt, dieses Leben spiritualisiert. Und notwendig ist es in unserer fünften Kulturepoche innerhalb desjenigen Volkes, dem insbesondere diese Aufgabe zufällt, die Spiritualisierung herbeizuführen, diese Dinge zu verstehen, ein Verantwortlichkeitsgefühl in bezug auf die Entwickelung herbeizuführen. Die Menschheitsentwickelung zu kritisieren, ist leicht, recht leicht. Darum handelt es sich aber nicht, denn die Dinge, die geschehen, geschehen mit Notwendigkeit, auch wenn sie demjenigen widersprechen, was gewissermaßen der gute Fortschritt mit den Menschen will. Nun müssen wir in einer gewissen Beziehung etwas, was diesem guten Fortschritt eigentlich widerspricht, in unserer Kultur herinnen haben und herinnen lassen. Unter diesen mancherlei Dingen, die dazugehören, ist zum Beispiel dieses, daß wir im Grunde genommen eigentlich wegen unseres gegenwärtigen Kulturstandpunktes unserer Zeit, wie man sagt, um des Fortschrittes willen, unsere Kinder vom zartesten Alter an zu malträtieren beginnen. Man weiß es nicht, aber man malträtiert sie. Denn es gibt im Grunde genommen nichts der menschlichen Natur Widersprechenderes, als die Kinder vom siebenten Jahre an schon anfangen zu lassen, die Schulgegenstände zu lernen und sie schulmäßig zu unterrichten, wie man- es gegenwärtig tut. Es könnte einen wirklich als etwas besonders Glückliches treffen, wenn man ganz anders heranwüchse und solches, was schon im siebenten Jahr an die Menschen herangebracht wird, erst im neunten oder zehnten Jahre bekäme. Aber das wird wohlgemerkt nicht in der Absicht etwa gesagt, daß es nicht geschehen solle, denn der allgemeine Kulturfortschritt fordert es, es muß so sein. Aber es muß der Gegenpol geschaffen werden. Und während wir auf der einen Seite dadurch, daß wir gewisse Arten des Schulunterrichtes haben, namentlich die Ätherleiber der Kinder schrecklich malträtieren, weil wir ihnen etwas einprägen, wofür sie in diesen Jahren absolut nichts taugen, müssen wir im Zuführen der Eurythmie einen Gegenpol schaffen und gerade das, was Eurythmie ist, den Kindern zuführen, damit der Ätherleib in diesen ihm eingeborenen Bewegungen den Ausgleich hat. Eurythmie wird etwas werden, was ganz allgemein ist, denn die Entwickelung erreicht nicht ihr Ziel dadurch, daß man einseitig vorwärtsgeht, sondern daß man in Gegensätzen vorwärtsgeht. Man muß immer den Gegenpol schaffen, den Gegenpol geltend machen. Entwickelung bewegt sich in Gegensätzen. Und der Malträtierung des Ätherleibes durch den heutigen Schulunterricht muß ein Gegenpol geschaffen werden, in dem Elastischmachen, dem naturgemäßen In-Bewegung-Bringen des Ätherleibes in dem Sinne, wie es in den ersten Anfängen in unserer Eurythmie versucht wird. So hängt etwas, was vielleicht viele heute noch «unsere Eurythmie» nennen, wirklich mit demjenigen zusammen, was ich den universellen Charakter unserer geistigen Bewegung zu nennen habe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":534,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-14/p029"}],"beads":[{"from":[42],"to":[28],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[43,44,45],"to":[29],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
