It is the task of every teacher; it concerns every teacher. We must, in our lessons, see to it that the children experience the beautiful, artistic, and aesthetic conception of the world; and their ideas and mental pictures should be permeated by a religious /moral feeling. Such feelings, when they are cultivated throughout the elementary school years, will make all the difference during the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth years. For a child whose feelings for the beautiful, for the aesthetic conception of the world, have not been stimulated will during puberty easily become overly sensual, even perhaps erotic. There is no better way of counteracting the erotic feelings than through the healthy development of the aesthetic sense for the sublime and beautiful in nature. If you succeed in making the children feel deeply the beauty, the colors, in sunrise and sunset, in the flowers, experience the sublime splendor of a thunderstorm—if, as it were, you cultivate in them the aesthetic sense—you will do more for them than is done by the often absurdly practiced sex education given to children at an ever younger age. It is the feeling for the beautiful, an aesthetic confrontation with the world, that counteracts the erotic feeling. By experiencing the world as beautiful, the human being will also attain the right, healthy relation to his or her body, will not be tormented by it, as happens in eroticism.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Five","site_heading":"The Astral Body's Emergence and Adolescent Moral Development","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

So muß man auch differenzieren in bezug auf dasjenige, was in diesem Lebensalter ganz besonders wichtig wird, das ich eben jetzt charakterisierte, nämlich in bezug auf die Art und Weise, wie sich überhaupt das Subjektive im Verhältnis zur Außenwelt gestaltet hat; denn man soll ja in diesem Lebensalter das Subjektive zum eigenen Leibe, ätherischen Leib und physischen Leib in ein Verhältnis setzen. Das setzt voraus, daß man überhaupt zur Außenwelt ein entsprechendes Verhältnis gewonnen hat. Und darauf hin kann man schon die ganze Schulzeit hindurch arbeiten. Es geht also durchaus dasjenige, was für dieses Lebensalter wichtig ist, die ganze Schulzeit hindurch den Lehrer und die Lehrerin an. Wir müssen ja in der Zeit, während wir unterrichten, auch darauf sehen, daß die Kinder Empfindungen bekommen, erstens von religiös-moralischer Art — das ist ja etwas, was oftmals besprochen worden ist — und auch, daß die Kinder gewisse Empfindungen, Vorstellungen bekommen, die sich auf das Schöne, auf das Künstlerische beziehen, auf das ästhetische Auffassen der Welt. Das wird besonders wichtig im 13., 14., 15.

Wenn Sie die Kinder dazu anleiten, die Schönheit und den Glanz von Sonnenaufgang und Sonnenuntergang zu empfinden, die Schönheit der Blumen zu empfinden, wenn Sie sie anleiten dazu, die Erhabenheit eines Gewitters zu fühlen, kurz, wenn Sie den ästhetischen Sinn ausbilden, dann tun Sie viel mehr, als mit den manchmal fast bis zum Blödsinn getriebenen sexuellen Unterweisungen, die man heute dem Kinde nicht früh genug beibringen kann. Schönheitsempfindung, ästhetisches Gegenüberstehen gegenüber der Welt, das ist dasjenige, was die Erotik auf das gehörige Maß zurückschraubt.
