Everything that the nervous-sensory development experiences flows into the formation of the breath—and through this, the breath becomes a kind of airy gesture. And just as in everyday life, when language is not enough, we supplement it with gestures, with signs, just as signs have the ability to express something, so too is the sign internalized, formed as an air gesture in the air expelled in the breath. And this air gesture then conveys what is carried by language. But in this air gesture, the thought vibrates, weaves, and flows—the thought that is the abstract expression of the soul life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":148,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-07-08/p009","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1923-07-08","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 277d/1923-07-08/p009","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-08/p009"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"],"length_check":{"de_words":152,"en_words":148,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

The nervous-sensory system is, in a sense, only one pole of the human organization. The other pole is the motor system with everything connected with it. And in the ordinary gesture, the ordinary movement, the other pole already supports what is revealed as the air gesture influenced by the nervous system. But what is quite primitive as a gesture, incidentally supporting speech, can be further developed. Then there arises the formed gesture, the articulated gesture, then there arises the artistically formed gesture, which can then relate to the ordinary gesture in the same way that articulated, artistically perfected speech relates to the babbling of a child. One could say that what emerges in ordinary life is a kind of babbling in gestures, as opposed to what is to be revealed through eurythmy in perfect articulation as a trained, developed sign language.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":156,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-07-08/p010","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1923-07-08","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 277d/1923-07-08/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-08/p010"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 277d/1923-07-08/p010"],"length_check":{"de_words":151,"en_words":156,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.
