Just place the way elements of the creative word are given through these experiences of speech sounds and the way that the most manifold and wonderful content and even a whole world content can be given through combinations of about 32 sound elements before your souls. Now try to imagine what things were like at such a time—and there were times when something like this was a reality for mankind—a time that lived with these 32 elements in a very active way and which felt how wonderful it was to be able to shape a world out of this experience of 32 speech sounds. One really felt that something spiritual was weaving in speech formation and in the pictorial shaping of words when one spoke; one experienced that gods were living in the speech sounds.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Numbers, Speech Sounds, and Apocalyptic Consciousness","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.

Da mußte ich auseinandersetzen, wie ein Erleben im Laute möglich ist, wie aber tatsächlich die Menschheit heute das Erleben im Laute verloren hat. Sie müssen nur sich einmal vor die Seele stellen, wie ja im Laute Elemente des gestaltenden und wesenden Wortes gegeben sind, und wie durch das Erleben dieser Laute der mannigfaltigste, ja der wundervollste Welteninhalt gestaltet werden kann durch die Kombination der etwa 32 Lautelemente. Versetzen Sie sich einmal in eine solche Zeit - und es gab ja Zeiten, wo der Menschheit das noch eine Realität war -, versetzen Sie sich in eine Zeit, welche ganz lebhaft weste in diesen Elementen der Laute und ganz lebhaft empfand das Wunderbare, das darin liegt, aus dem Erleben dieser 32 Lautelemente heraus eine Welt gestalten zu können. Man empfand wirklich in der Sprach-Gestaltung, in der bildenden Gestaltung des Wortes, das Weben eines Geistigen, das man miterlebt im Sprechen.
