54. Eurythmy Performance

And so Johannes Thomasius appears in this scene, having gone through much. He has arrived at the point where he is now forced into a real, deeper introspection by the surprising things that assail his soul. And so, to a certain extent, his own person confronts him in the form of a double. That which one can feel in oneself as an admonishing second person under certain conditions, but which is basically the basis for true self-knowledge and also for true introspection, confronts Johannes Thomasius. I cannot say that he retouched it (?), because a direct experience is reproduced, because those admonitions, those invitations that this doppelganger speaks can actually be experienced in a directly real way.
