The fact is that the nerve-strands on the human back continually form an E. In this forming of the E lies the way in which man's inward perception of himself which is factually differentiated, in the brain, comes into being. Yesterday we attempted to reproduce this E-building which actually takes place in a plane; you will find that what we attempted to reproduce shows through the outward movement and the position of the movement how this inward E-making in man sums itself up into the vertical. As the head puffs itself out and wants to become a horn-blowing cherub, this E-process, this pulling-oneselftogether-in-points, sums itself up in the vertical, in the upright line. It is a continuous and successive fastening together of E's which stand one above another; that expresses clearly what one observes taking place in weaklings. They have the tendency to continuously stretch their etheric bodies. They want to extend the etheric body rather than to pull it together into a point, which would be the real antithesis to the activity of the head. That is not the case however: they try to stretch the etheric body thereby making a repetition of the point. And this extension which makes its appearance in people who are becoming weak—not the extension in the physical, but in the etheric body—will be counteracted by shaping that E of which we spoke yesterday.","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.

Sehen Sie, beim E, da ist eigentlich das vorhanden, daß der Mensch sich innerlich fassen will, sich innerlich zusammenziehen will. Daher ja auch in der Eurythmie das Berühren seiner selbst, dieses Gewahrwerden seiner selbst: Sie nehmen sich einfach wahr, wenn Sie den rechten Arm über den linken legen. Geradeso, wie wenn Sie einen Gegenstand draußen empfinden, wenn Sie ihn angreifen, so nehmen Sie sich selbst wahr. Noch deutlicher wäre das also ausgedrückt, wenn Sie einfach mit der linken Hand den rechten Arm umfassen würden - in der Kunst müssen die Dinge alle angedeutet sein -, aber wenn Sie hier das einfach fassen würden, so betasten Ste sich selber. Das Sichselber-Betasten, das ist in dem eurythmischen E besonders zum Ausdruck gekommen. Und dieses Sich-Betasten, dieses Sich-selber-Betasten, das ist ja durch den ganzen menschlichen Organismus durchgeführt. Und Sie können es studieren, dieses Sich-selber-Betasten, wenn Sie einfach das Verhältnis studieren, indem am Rücken des Menschen sich äußern diejenigen Nervenverläufe, die in der gewöhnlichen Physiologie irrtümlich die motorischen, und diejenigen, die die sensitiven genannt werden. Da, wo dieses Motorische, das aber im Grunde genommen auch ein Sensitives ist, da, wo dieses Motorische mit dem Sensitiven zusammenkommt, entsteht eine solche Art des Umfassens. Es ist so, daß tatsächlich die Nervenstränge fortwährend am menschlichen Rücken ein E bilden, und daß in diesem E-Bilden wirklich auch das Zustandekommen des Sich-innerlich-Fühlens des Menschen liegt, was dann nur im Gehirn differenziert zur Tatsache wird. Dieses E-Bilden, das also eigentlich in der Ebene verläuft, wir haben es gestern versucht nachzubilden. Und Sie werden sehen, daß das, was wir gestern versucht haben nachzubilden, direkt in der äußeren Bewegung und in der Bewegungslage andeutet, wie das innerliche E-Machen des Menschen sich eigentlich summiert zu der Vertikalen. Wie sich der Kopf aufplustert, wie der Kopf ein Blaseengel werden will, so summiert sich dieses E-Werden, dieses Sich-im-Punkte-Zusammenfassen, das summiert sich in der Vertikalen, in der Höhenlinie.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":319,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/315/1921-04-14/p028"},{"locus":"GA 315/1921-04-14/p029","passage_number":29,"text":"Es ist aber [ein] fortwährendes, aufeinanderfolgendes Sich-Zusammenfassen übereinanderstehender E’s; und das drückt ja wirklich aus, was nun deutlich hervorgeht, wenn man beobachtet Schwächlinge.
