Title: Memória e Amor

Estudem a crianÃ§a atÃ© a troca de dentes. NotarÃ£o como o poder da lembranÃ§a, da memÃ³ria, gradualmente se desdobra. Inicialmente, Ã© bastante elementar. A crianÃ§a possui certa memÃ³ria, mas ela se torna uma forÃ§a independente apenas no momento de troca da dentiÃ§Ã£o, estando completa em seu desenvolvimento quando a crianÃ§a estÃ¡ madura para a escola. SÃ³ a partir daÃ que podemos comeÃ§ar a edificar a memÃ³ria. Antes disso, ao enfatizarmos a memÃ³ria, tornamos a crianÃ§a rÃgida e criamos uma condiÃ§Ã£o de alma esclerÃ³tica para sua vida posterior. Quando lidamos com crianÃ§as antes da troca de dentes, trata-se de receberem as impressÃµes do presente da maneira correta. Ã‰ entre a troca da dentiÃ§Ã£o e a puberdade que podemos empreender a edificaÃ§Ã£o da memÃ³ria.
Hoje a ciÃªncia da fisiologia nÃ£o atingiu o ponto em que pode descrever detalhadamente o processo que acabamos de desenhar. A ciÃªncia espiritual Ã© capaz disso e a ciÃªncia fisiolÃ³gica certamente alcanÃ§arÃ¡ tal entendimento, pois essas coisas podem ser descobertas a partir da observaÃ§Ã£o atenta da natureza humana. Pode-se dizer que, quando emitimos um som ou uma nota, primeiramente, a cabeÃ§a Ã© acionada. Mas da cabeÃ§a procede a mesma faculdade que, interiormente, na alma, confere a memÃ³ria, que sustenta o som e o tom: isso vem de cima. Ã‰ inconcebÃvel alguÃ©m poder falar sem possuir a faculdade da memÃ³ria. Se sempre nos esquecÃªssemos o que estÃ¡ contido no som ou no tom, nunca serÃamos capazes de falar ou de cantar. Ã‰ precisamente a memÃ³ria incorporada que perdura no tom ou som; por outro lado, no que concerne ao amor, mesmo em seu sentido fisiolÃ³gico â€“ no processo respiratÃ³rio que dÃ¡ origem Ã fala e ao canto â€“ tem-se um testemunho claro no pleno volume interior do tom que chega ao homem na puberdade, quando o amor encontra expressÃ£o fisiolÃ³gica durante o segundo perÃodo importante da vida: isso vem de baixo. AÃ estÃ£o os dois elementos juntos: de cima, o que estÃ¡ na base fisiolÃ³gica da memÃ³ria; de baixo, o que estÃ¡ na base fisiolÃ³gica do amor. Juntos, eles formam o tom na fala e na canÃ§Ã£o. AÃ estÃ¡ sua interaÃ§Ã£o recÃproca. De certa forma, Ã© tambÃ©m um processo de respiraÃ§Ã£o que percorre toda a vida. Assim como inspiramos oxigÃªnio e expiramos diÃ³xido de carbono, temos unidas em nÃ³s a forÃ§a da memÃ³ria e a forÃ§a do amor, encontrando-se na fala, encontrando-se no tom. Pode-se dizer que falar e cantar, no homem, sÃ£o um intercÃ¢mbio alternado de permeaÃ§Ã£o pela forÃ§a da memÃ³ria e pela forÃ§a do amor.
