And just as the physical generative organs transmit bodily life, so the organs of speech — tongue, larynx and breath — transmit spiritual life like an ignition device. In the physiological, the close connection between voice and procreation is obvious. We encounter it in the song of the nightingale, in courtship display, voice change, vocal magic, in singing, cooing, crowing, roaring. We can truly call the larynx the higher sexual organ. The word is the power of procreation for new human spirits; in the word, man achieves a spiritualized creative power. Today, man rules the air with the word, by shaping it rhythmically and organically, by stirring it and enlivening it. On a higher level, he is able to do this in the liquid and finally in the solid element. Then you have transformed the word into the creator's word, for man will achieve this in his development because it was originally so. The life body, emanated from the word of the primal spirit, - this is to be taken literally. That is why Budhi is called the “word”, which means nothing other than: I am.","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.

Und wie die physischen Zeugungsorgane leibliches Leben, so geben die wortzeugenden Organe - Zunge und Kehlkopf, Odem - geistiges Leben weiter wie Zündungsapparate. Im Physiologischen ist der enge Zusammenhang zwischen Stimme und Zeugung offensichtlich. Er tritt uns entgegen im Nachtigallensang, im Balzen, Stimmwechsel, Stimmzauber, im Gesang, Gurren, Krähen, Röhren. Wir können geradezu den Kehlkopf das höhere Geschlechtsorgan nennen. Das Wort ist Zeugungskraft für neue Menschengeister, der Mensch erreicht im Worte eine vergeistigte Schöpferkraft. Heute beherrscht der Mensch die Luft mit dem Wort, indem er sie rhythmisch-organisch gestaltet, erregt, belebt. Auf höherer Stufe vermag er das in dem flüssigen und zuletzt in dem festen Element. Dann haben Sie das Wort umgestaltet zum Schöpferworte, Der Mensch wird in seiner Entwickelung das erreichen, denn es war ursprünglich so da. Der Lebensleib, hervorgeströmt aus dem Worte des Urgeistes, - das ist wörtlich zu nehmen.
