Wille ist sozusagen etwas, was dem Menschen so unbekannt bleibt wie die Zustände des Seelischen im traumlosen Schlafe vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen. Man hat eigentlich, wenn man einem Willensimpulse sich hingibt, nur den Anfang und das Ende: Den Anfang in der Vorstellung, die Absicht ist, dies oder jenes zu vollbringen, das Ende, die Gestaltung der Bewegungsorgane zu Nützlichkeitszwecken in der Welt. Dasjenige aber, was im Menschen vorgeht, und was den eigentlichen Willensimpuls aus dem innersten tiefen Wesen des Menschen herausholt, das bleibt dem Menschen für das wache Bewusstsein unbekannt wie eben dasjenige, was im Schlafe vorgeht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":201,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-29/p010"},{"locus":"GA 277d/1923-07-29/p011","passage_number":11,"text":"Aber dazu ist ja gerade die hier gemeinte Geisteswissenschaft da, dass sie das tiefste innere Wesen des Menschen zur Offenbarung bringt, ja auch den Willen zur Offenbarung bringt. Wie wenig unser Zeitalter geneigt ist, auf so etwas einzugehen, zeigt ja der Umstand, dass es verhältnismäßig wenige Dezennien zurückliegt, dass Schopenhauer den Willen als etwas Blindes, als etwa an sich Finsteres dargestellt hat. Und erst, wenn er diejenige Erhellung erfährt, zum Beispiel im Moralischen, wo der Wille ganz heraufrückt, gewissermaßen heraufprojiziert wird in das Gefühlsmäßige, erst wenn er diese Erhellung erfährt, wird er zu dem moralischen Gehalte im Schopenhauerschen Sinne.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":99,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-29/p011"},{"locus":"GA 277d/1923-07-29/p012","passage_number":12,"text":"Anthroposophie muss ganz hinuntersteigen in das menschliche Wesen. Daher das geheimnisvolle Weben und Wesen des Willens, hineingestaltend in die menschliche Äußerung, in die menschliche Offenbarung, so wie das bei der Sprache eben durch die Vorstellung geschieht. Nun hat der Mensch Organe, in denen er den Willen offenbaren kann, durchaus getragen zu gleicher Zeit von dem, was der Mensch an seinen Willensbewegungen fühlt: Diese Organe sind Arme und Hände. Daher kann die Bewegung der Arme und Hände, die nur dann unterstützt wird — wie der Gesichtsausdruck unsere Sprache unterstützt -, die nur dann unterstützt wird von den Bewegungen der anderen Organe, der Beine oder Füße oder Bewegungen des ganzen Menschen im Raume, es kann, indem der menschliche Arm und die menschliche Hand in Bewegung gebracht werden, ebenso eine Willenssprache entstehen, wie eine Vorstellungssprache in der gewöhnlichen Sprache vorliegt, in der Lautsprache vorliegt. Nur muss man eben auf das Wesen der Sprache eingehen können. Geradeso wie das Kind sprechen lernt aus dem Unbewussten heraus, auf elementarisch-naive Weise in einem Lebensalter, in dem das Bewusstsein eben noch keine wache Rolle spielt, ebenso kann der Mensch lernen, dasjenige, das willensmäßiges Element ist, durch Bewegungen der Arme und Hände zum Ausdrucke zu bringen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":198,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-29/p012"},{"locus":"GA 277d/1923-07-29/p013","passage_number":13,"text":"Wie ist das dann, wenn der Mensch sich auf diese Weise äußert? Dann ist es so, dass wir sagen können: Äußert sich zum Beispiel die Dichtung durch die Lautsprache und künstlerische Behandlung, so ist alles nach der Kopfwesenheit des Menschen hin projiziert. Der Wille und das Gefühl erscheinen zwar die Sprache durchdringend, durchwellend, durchwebend, aber zu gleicher Zeit abschwächend. Der Dichter ringt danach, Gefühl und Wille in Rhythmus, Takt, in die Imagination des Lautlichen hineinzubringen. Und in demselben Maße, in dem ihm das gelingt, wird seine Sprache künstlerisch.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":88,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-29/p013"},{"locus":"GA 277d/1923-07-29/p014","passage_number":14,"text":"Gehen wir zur Eurythmie, so lassen wir hingegen zurücktreten — wir gehen auf den anderen Pol des Menschen -, wir lassen zurücktreten das Vorstellungsmäßige, wir bringen das Gefühl mit dem Willen, bringen das auf ebenso gesetzmäßige Weise zum Ausdrucke, wie sich der Mensch gesetzmäßig offenbart in der Lautsprache.
