One could say that in our time there are certain endeavors of which we only know the later stages, nothing of the origin. If our movement is to have greater significance, it must gain this, among other things, by connecting in some way to the origins of humanity. And so it is a matter of searching, as it were, for the sources of this art form. The most diverse artistic endeavors have actually arisen — as one becomes convinced when one goes back to the sources through occult science — when, to put it briefly, human beings express their own nature, which is initially immediate to them, in a certain way and imitate it in the physical world. This is how all artistic endeavors have arisen. Experiences that take place in the subconscious are made visible in the outer world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Address on Eurythmy","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-02-19","location":null,"word_count":218,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277a/1918-02-19/p004","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1912–1918","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277a/English/SOL2024/19180219p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Man kann sagen: Es existieren in unserer Zeit diese oder jene Bestrebungen, von denen man nur spätere Stadien kennt, nichts vom Ursprung. - Wenn unsere Bewegung eine größere Bedeutung haben soll, so muss sie unter anderem dies auch dadurch gewinnen, dass sie in mancher Beziehung an Ursprüngliches in der Menschheit anknüpft. Und so handelt es sich darum, gewissermaßen nach den Quellen dieser Kunstform zu suchen. Die verschiedensten künstlerischen Bestrebungen sind ja — man überzeugt sich davon, wenn man durch okkulte Wissenschaft zu den Quellen zurückgeht -, sind ja eigentlich dadurch entstanden, wenn ich mich kurz ausdrücken will, dass der Mensch sein eigenes Wesen, das zunächst an ihm unmittelbar ist, in einer gewissen Weise aus sich heraussetzt und in der physischen Welt nachahmt. So sind alle künstlerischen Bestrebungen auch entstanden. Erlebnisse, die im Unterbewussten ablaufen, werden sichtbar in der äußeren Welt gemacht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":219,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277a/1918-02-19/p004"}],"english":["GA 277a/1918-02-19/p004"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":219,"en_words":218,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1533,"original_word_count":1498,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1912–1918","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277a/English/SOL2024/19180219p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
