There are people today, for example, who say: Actually, there is no substance, only movement. A witty brochure has recently been published that takes the view that everything is movement. It really says that when a person walks from one place to another, he does not carry what appears to us to be his substantiality from one place to another, but only movement, and by walking to the other place, he adds a new movement. This is thought of in terms of the pattern of the sun being up there, the solar particles are moving, they are dancing; by dancing, something does not go from the sun to us, it is said, the nearest ether environment dances, and the ether dances down to us. Only the movement is transmitted, it is said, and that is perceived as light. In this perceptive book, this whole ether dance is applied to the human being. The whole human being is actually just a dance. When I go to the next place, I create a new movement and so on. One would just like to advise the good man, when he walks, never to forget that he is creating the movement again, otherwise he would have to disappear into nothingness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"49.

Da gibt es heute Leute, die sagen zum Beispiel: Eigentlich gibt es keine Substanz, sondern nur Bewegung. Es ist in der letzten Zeit eine geistreiche Broschüre erschienen, die den Standpunkt einnimmt, dass alles Bewegung ist. Da wird wirklich gesagt, wenn der Mensch von einem Ort zum anderen geht, so trägt er nicht etwa das, was uns als seine Substantialität erscheint, von einem Ort zum andern, sondern das ist nur Bewegung, und indem er zum anderen Ort geht, reiht er eine neue Bewegung an. Das ist ganz nach dem Muster dessen gedacht, dass da oben die Sonne ist, die Sonnenteilchen sind bewegt, sie tanzen; indem sie tanzen, geht nicht etwas von der Sonne zu uns, sagt man, die nächste Ätherumgebung tanzt, und es tanzt der Äther bis zu uns herab. Nur die Bewegung wird übertragen, sagt man, und das wird als Licht empfunden. Dieser ganze Äthertanz wird in diesem scharfsinnigen Buch auf den Menschen angewendet. Der ganze Mensch ist eigentlich nur ein Tanz. Wenn ich an den nächsten Ort gehe, so erzeuge ich eine neue Bewegung und so weiter. Man möchte dem guten Mann nur raten, wenn er geht, ja nur niemals zu vergessen, dass er die Bewegung wieder neu erzeugt, sonst müsste er ins Nichts hinein verschwinden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":233,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68b/1909-02-13/p062"}],"english":["GA 68b/1909-02-13/p062"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":233,"en_words":229,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8301,"original_word_count":8161,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Circular Flow of Man's Life within the World Of Sense, Soul And Spirit","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068b/English/SOL2024/19090213p01.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.
