But this is not the case. What is important is that, through a kind of sensory-supersensory seeing – if I may use this expression of Goethe's – the human organism has actually overheard what movement tendencies the larynx and the other speech organs perform when the sound language is heard. This sound language is formed between people by the execution of air vibrations. These air vibrations actually arise from the fact that certain movement tendencies in the speech organs, as it were, collide with the air and transform into these oscillating movements. If we go back to what is going on inside the larynx and its neighboring organs during speech, we are dealing with tendencies of movement that do not come to full expression because they are transformed into vibrations, but which can be observed through sensory-supersensible observation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":200,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277c/1920-10-10/p005","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1920-10-10","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 277c/1920-10-10/p005","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277c/1920-10-10/p005"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":209,"en_words":200,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

In this way, it is possible to reshape this principle artistically and extend it to the functional, to activity. What takes place in a certain way in the speech organs can be transferred to the whole human being or to groups of people in a different form, namely by shaping movements. This gives rise to a certain mute language, a language of movement. And just as we have in the lawful sequence of sounds, in the lawful sequence of words and so on, that which language reveals as the inner life of the soul, so too we can, in the lawful sequence of such movements, where one does not have the individual movements of facial expressions or pantomime or the gestural expression of the soul life, but where this soul life takes place in its own lawful order.
