Organismus. Ela estÃ¡ contida no volume nÃºmero 218 da EdiÃ§Ã£o CentenÃ¡ria Completa [em
inglÃªs, Complete Centenary Edition] dos trabalhos de Rudolf Steiner.
Esse processo rÃtmico constantemente repetido pode ser comparado com duas coisas diferentes aqui na existÃªncia fÃsica terrena. Pode ser comparado com a inspiraÃ§Ã£o e a expiraÃ§Ã£o, e tambÃ©m com o sono e a vigÃlia. Na existÃªncia fÃsica na Terra, ambos sÃ£o processos rÃtmicos â€“ ambos podem ser comparados com o que venho descrevendo. Mas com os processos que ocorrem no mundo espiritual entre a morte e o renascimento, nÃ£o se trata de saber algo de uma forma puramente abstrata, ou â€“ devo acrescentar â€“ para a satisfaÃ§Ã£o de curiosidade espiritual; trata-se de reconhecer a vida na Terra como uma imagem do supraterrestre. E surge necessariamente a questÃ£o: o que acontece na vida terrena que se assemelha a uma faculdade de memÃ³ria nÃ£o possuÃda pelo homem em sua consciÃªncia comum, uma faculdade que pode ser possuÃda por seres das hierarquias, arcanjos? O que hÃ¡ na vida fÃsica que Ã© como uma memÃ³ria de se viver no mundo dos seres espirituais, ou como uma memÃ³ria de se experimentar a si mesmo lÃ¡?
Pois bem, por que descemos ao mundo fÃsico do mundo espiritual? VocÃªs poderÃ£o deduzir, a partir do que eu disse aqui da Ãºltima vez, que as forÃ§as que nos mantÃªm juntos com os seres espirituais superiores decaem. Aqui na vida fÃsica, envelhecemos porque as forÃ§as que nos mantÃªm em conexÃ£o com a Terra fÃsica diminuem; lÃ¡, enfraquece o que nos mantÃªm ligados aos seres espirituais. Diminuem principalmente as forÃ§as que permitem que nos apreendamos em meio aos seres espirituais e que nos possibilitam sermos independentes. No mundo espiritual, por um perÃodo considerÃ¡vel antes de descermos Ã Terra, perdemos a capacidade de conviver com os seres espirituais. Com o auxÃlio dos seres espirituais, formamos a semente espiritual de nosso corpo fÃsico, que enviamos primeiramente; daÃ nos apropriamos de nosso corpo etÃ©rico e prosseguimos. Ilustrei-lhes isso em minha Ãºltima palestra. Nossa capacidade de viver com seres espirituais no mundo espiritual desbota e percebemos como, por meio das forÃ§as da lua, nos aproximamos cada vez mais da Terra. Sentimo-nos como um eu, mas cada vez menos capazes de compreender as regiÃµes espirituais, ou de nos manter nelas; tal capacidade se torna cada vez mais dÃ©bil. Temos um sentimento crescente de que o desfalecimento prevalecerÃ¡ sobre nÃ³s, no mundo espiritual. Isso cria uma necessidade de que aquilo que nÃ£o mais conseguimos carregar conosco â€“ o sentimento do eu â€“ seja sustentado por algo externo, a saber, nosso corpo: surge uma necessidade de sermos sustentados por um corpo. Eu poderia dizer que, gradualmente, temos que desaprender a voar e aprender a andar. VocÃªs sabem que estou falando figurativamente, mas a imagem estÃ¡ em absoluto acordo com a verdade, com a realidade. Ã‰ assim que encontramos o caminho para nosso corpo. O sentimento de solidÃ£o encontra um refÃºgio no corpo e se converte na faculdade da lembranÃ§a, e temos que nos empenhar para alcanÃ§ar um novo sentimento de comunhÃ£o, na Terra. Isso se
Descrevi esse estado de sono sob um determinado aspecto, a Ãºltima vez que estive aqui. Agora quero acrescentar algo sobre os processos entÃ£o mencionados. Eu sei que essas coisas sÃ£o facilmente mal compreendidas. Repetidamente, ouve-se dizerem: â€œDa Ãºltima vez, ele descreveu a experiÃªncia do homem entre dormir e acordar, e agora ele estÃ¡ nos contando algo diferente sobre issoâ€. Meus queridos amigos, se lhes digo o que um oficial vivencia em seu posto de trabalho, isso nÃ£o contradiz o que mais tarde lhes direi sobre ele, quando no seio de sua famÃlia. As duas coisas caminham juntas. Portanto, vocÃªs devem ter claro que, quando conto experiÃªncias entre o dormir e o acordar, nÃ£o se trata de toda a histÃ³ria, assim como Ã© possÃvel um oficial ter uma vida em famÃlia, fora de seu posto.
Esta Ã© a glÃ³ria essencial da arte: ela nos leva, por meios simples, ao mundo espiritual, no presente imediato. Quem Ã© capaz de olhar para a vida interior do homem dirÃ¡: de modo geral, o homem se lembra apenas das coisas que vivenciou no curso de sua vida terrena atual. Mas a forÃ§a pela qual ele se lembra dessas experiÃªncias terrenas Ã© a forÃ§a enfraquecida de sua existÃªncia como um eu na vida prÃ©-terrena. E o amor que ele Ã© capaz de desenvolver aqui como um amor universal da humanidade Ã© a forÃ§a enfraquecida da semente que frutificarÃ¡ apÃ³s a morte. E assim como no canto e na fala declamatÃ³ria aquilo que um homem Ã© deve estar unido, pela memÃ³ria, Ã quilo que ele pode dar ao mundo por meio do amor, assim tambÃ©m Ã© em toda arte. Um homem pode experimentar uma harmonia de seu eu com o que estÃ¡ fora, mas a menos que seja capaz de mostrar externamente o que estÃ¡ dentro dele â€“ seja no tom, na pintura ou em qualquer outro ramo da arte â€“, a menos que mostre na superfÃcie o que ele Ã©, o que a vida fez dele, qual Ã© o conteÃºdo essencial de sua memÃ³ria, ele nÃ£o poderÃ¡ ser um artista. Tampouco Ã© um verdadeiro artista aquele que Ã© acentuadamente inclinado a ser egotista em sua arte. Somente aqueles dispostos a se abrir para o mundo, os que se tornam um com seus semelhantes, os que desdobram o amor, sÃ£o capazes de unir esse desdobramento do amor intimamente a seu prÃ³prio ser. AltruÃsmo e egotismo se unem em uma Ãºnica corrente. Confluem naturalmente e mais intimamente nas artes sonoras, mas tambÃ©m nas artes plÃ¡sticas. E quando, por meio de um certo aprofundamento de nossas forÃ§as de conhecimento, nos Ã© revelado como o homem estÃ¡ conectado a um mundo suprassensÃvel, no que diz respeito ao passado e ao futuro, podemos tambÃ©m dizer que o homem tem um antegosto presente desse vÃnculo, no criar e fruir artÃstico. Na verdade, a arte nunca adquire todo o seu valor se nÃ£o estiver, em certa medida, de acordo com a religiÃ£o. NÃ£o que tenha d
