40. Eurythmy Performance

So, my dear attendees, everything that is connected with the human vocal organs, the larynx and its neighboring organs, is basically a replica of the whole human being as a lawful organism in a remarkable way. One might say that all of the human organ systems are found in the larynx and its attachment organs, only in a cartilaginous form. The strange thing is that the organs of the larynx do not continue in muscle tissue like other human organs of movement, but that what arises from the human larynx in terms of movement possibilities, in terms of the beginnings of movement, passes directly into the surrounding air and thus produces sound and speech. But the person who has the opportunity to observe in a sensory and supersensory way, in which movements the human larynx produces that which becomes song for us, that which becomes language for us, becomes for us language, is able to transfer these movements, which are otherwise carried out by the larynx and its neighboring organs without our noticing them while we listen to speech, to the whole human being.
