What does the life body do in man? Growth and reproduction, everything that distinguishes the living being from the mineral. What is the highest expression of the life body? Reproduction, growth beyond itself. What becomes of this last expression of the life body when man consciously covers the path back to spiritualization? How is this reproductive power transformed, what becomes of it when it is purified, spiritualized? — In the human larynx you have the purification, the transformation of the reproductive power, and in the articulated vowel sound, in the human word, you have the transformed reproductive capacity. Analogous to the law “All is below as above”, we find the corresponding process in the physical: the breaking of the voice, the mutation at the time of sexual maturity. All that becomes spirit emanates from the word or the content of the word. This is the very first glimpse of Budhi, when the first articulated sound emerges from the human soul. A mantram has such a significant effect because it is a spiritually articulated word. A mantram is therefore the means for the chela to work down into the depths of his soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Lecture","site_heading":"Consciousness Transformation Through Body Spiritualization Stages","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.

Die Fortpflanzung, das Wachstum über sich selbst hinaus. Was wird nun aus dieser letzten Äußerung des Lebensleibes, wenn der Mensch den Weg zurück zur Vergeistigung bewußt zurücklegt? Worin verwandelt sich diese Fortpflanzungskraft, was wird aus ihr, wenn sie geläutert, durchgeistigt ist? — Im menschlichen Kehlkopf haben Sie die Läuterung, die Umwandlung der Fortpflanzungskraft, und in dem artikulierten Vokallaut, im menschlichen Wort das umgewandelte Fortpflanzungsvermögen. Analog dem Gesetz «Alles ist unten wie oben» finden wir den entsprechenden Vorgang auch im Physischen: den Stimmbruch, die Mutation zur Zeit der Geschlechtsreife. Alles, was Geist wird, geht vom Wort oder vom Inhalt des Wortes aus. Das ist das allererste Hereinscheinen von Budhi, wenn aus der menschlichen Seele der erste artikulierte Laut dringt. Ein Mantram wirkt deshalb so bedeutsam, weil es ein geistig artikuliertes Wort ist.
