In what has been developed as the form involved in consonantal movement consideration has been truly given to everything which must be taken into account when man attempts to penetrate into the outer world through speech. The person who sets himself the task of observing speech will see that man's confrontation with the outer world must consist on the one hand of living into the world vigorously; of making himself selfless and living out into the world. In the vowels he comes to himself; in the vowels he goes within and unfolds his activity there. In the consonants he becomes in a way one with the outer world although to varying degrees. These varying degrees of unification with the world are manifest in certain practices within language as well. In the development of the consonantal element in eurythmy, particularly in reference to the sensible-super-sensible observation of which I so often speak in introducing eurythmy performances,—it is necessary to take into consideration whether the human being objectifies himself. To discover whether man extroverts himself completely in order to grasp the spiritual element in the things outside him in a spoken sound, or if, despite this objectification of himself, he remains more within and does not go completely out of himself but instead reproduces the external within himself. That is a major distinction, by reason of which I must ask Mrs. Baumann to be so good and show us first of all the movement for “H”. Now please disregard this H-movement altogether and Mrs. Baumann will demonstrate the F-movement. And now keep an eye on what you can observe here in these two different movements. You can observe what is present by virtue of the human instinct in the attempt to enunciate the sound in question. Consider the pronunciation of H: actually you say H-a, you follow up with a vowel. It is impossible to sound a consonant without it being tinged by a vowel, you follow it up with an “A”. The pure consonant is vocalized, combined with a vowel. If you consider the “F” you will find that man's linguistic instinct places an “E” in front of it: e-F. Here the opposite occurs: an E is set before it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Consonantal Forms and Therapeutic Eurythmic Movement","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.

Nun, dasjenige was ausgebildet ist als Form des Konsonantierens, bei dem ist wirklich durchaus Rücksicht genommen auf alles, was in Betracht kommt, wenn der Mensch versucht, sprachlich in die Außenwelt einzudringen. Wer die Sprache beobachten will, der wird ja sehen, wie das Sich- Auseinandersetzen des Menschen mit der Außenwelt darinnen bestehen muß, daß der Mensch in einem Falle gewissermaßen sehr stark sich hinauslebt in die Außenwelt, daß er sich sehr stark entselbstet und in die Außenwelt hinauslebt. Beim Vokalisieren verselbstet er sich, beim Vokalisieren geht er nach dem Inneren und entfaltet da seine Tätigkeit. Beim Konsonantieren wird er gewissermaßen eins mit der Außenwelt, aber in verschiedenen Graden. Und dieses in verschiedenen Graden Einswerden mit der Außenwelt, das drückt sich auch in gewissen Betätigungen innerhalb der Sprache durchaus aus. Und es muß natürlich bei der Ausbildung des eurythmischen Konsonantierens, gerade bei diesem sinnlich-übersinnlichen Schauen, von dem ich oftmals spreche in den Einleitungen zu eurythmischen Kunstvorstellungen, bei diesem sinnlich-übersinnlichen Schauen muß scharf berücksichtigt werden, ob der Mensch nun vollständig sich hinausobjektiviert, um gewissermaßen das Geistige, das draußen in den Dingen ist, in dem Laut zu erfassen, oder ob er mehr, trotz des Sich-Objektivierens, noch im Inneren bleibt und nicht eigentlich ganz hinausgeht, sondern im Inneren noch das Äußere nachbildet. Da ist ein großer Unterschied, und ich bitte aus diesem Grunde, vielleicht ist Frau Baumann so gut und macht uns zunächst, sagen wir, vor eine H-Bewegung. Und jetzt, bitte, wenden Sie den Blick ganz ab von dieser H-Bewegung und Frau Baumann wird nun eine F-Bewegung vormachen. Und jetzt behalten Sie gut im Auge dasjenige, was Sie bei diesen verschiedenen Bewegungen, bei diesen zwei voneinander verschiedenen Bewegungen da beobachten können. Sie können da beobachten dasjenige, was Sie aus dem menschlichen Instinkt heraus in dem Aussprechen, in dem Auszusprechenversuchen des betreffenden Lautes darinnen haben. Nehmen Sie das Aussprechen des H. Eigentlich sprechen Sie ja dieses H in Wirklichkeit Ha; eigentlich sprechen Sie ja einen Vokal nach. Sie können ja auch einen Konsonanten nicht erklingen lassen, ohne daß er durch einen Vokal tingiert wird. Sie sprechen ein A nach. Der reine Konsonant wird vervokalisiert. Und wenn Sie nun das F betrachten, dann werden Sie sehen, daß aus dem menschlichen Sprachinstinkte heraus ein E vorgesetzt wird: eF. Es wird das Entgegengesetzte gemacht, es wird ein E vorgesetzt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":408,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/315/1921-04-14/p003"}],"english":["GA 315/1921-04-14/p003"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":408,"en_words":402,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4975,"original_word_count":5067,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Kristina Krohn with Anthony Degenaar","identified_edition":"RSP1983","book_title":"Curative Eurythmy","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA315/English/RSP1983/19210414p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
