Although directly linked to physical movements, eurythmy is one of the subjects that can show, perhaps more clearly than any other, how the unification of body, soul, and spirit can be practiced methodically within class lessons. In the future, many other activities will have to stand alongside eurythmy, offering possibilities as yet undreamed of by people today, and working even more directly into the soul and spiritual realm. Such possibilities are inherent in what has already been given, and waiting to be realized; the way is there. Even if our first efforts in eurythmy are far from perfect and limited in scope, the principles of eurythmy will eventually overcome all imbalance in gymnastics, which is the result of today’s materialistic influences.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XVI.

Es werden Dinge ihr zur Seite stehen müssen, die nach gewissen Richtungen näher ins Geistig-Seelische noch hinarbeiten in der Eurythmie, von denen heute überhaupt die Menschheit sich noch nichts träumen läßt, die aber auf der weiteren Verfolgung des eben angedeuteten Weges liegen.
