And by learning earthly language or by taking up the word in earthly song, human beings are, in a sense, subject to what emanates from the earth; they are subject to gravity. But the human organism is most subject to gravity in the human movement system. When humans walk, when they move their arms and hands, the forces of gravity are constantly at work in these movements of the human organism. Humans overcome the forces of gravity to some extent—with every step we take, we fight with our free, weightless organism against the gravity that weighs upon us, to which we are subject as humans in earthly life.
