Eurythmy Performance

Now we must consider what this etheric or formative body, which is closest to the physical body and does not separate from it even at night during sleep, actually means for human beings. This etheric or life or formative body is the carrier of the thought element, the carrier of all those forces that form thoughts in human beings. The truth is that we form thoughts with the help of the physical and etheric bodies, and that we are only distant from thoughts during sleep — encountering them, so to speak, but in a chaotic way, dreaming when waking up or falling asleep — because in the state of sleep we are separated from our own inner being, from our ego and astral body, and also from the part that contains our thought life. In truth, we think all night long, but we are unaware of it.
