Fourth Lecture

In our time, our basic tone is not the Greek inner life of impulses, and in particular we do not have within us that which is only now beginning in the evolution of humanity and is to find expression in our constitution. In a sense, the human being rising from tranquility must not only transition to standing, but also to walking. They must artistically become acquainted with the sphere of the will alongside the sphere of the emotions. This can only be achieved by transforming the universally symmetrical into the symmetrical with only one axis of symmetry. So that one can say: at the moment when we transform the building motif into one that has only one axis of symmetry, we have expressed in the building not only the experience of the human being who is moving from rest into feeling, but also that of the human being who is moving from feeling into will, into walking. A progressive motif is the motif of the will.
