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
Se alguÃ©m tem uma imagem na memÃ³ria de algo experimentado na vida fÃsica vinte anos antes, uma pessoa saudÃ¡vel e reflexiva nÃ£o a considerarÃ¡ uma experiÃªncia presente; Ã© da natureza da prÃ³pria imagem da memÃ³ria que a relacionemos a uma experiÃªncia passada. Quem olha de forma clarividente para o que a alma vivencia durante o sono, em ordem inversa, nÃ£o conecta isso ao presente; mas ao futuro apÃ³s a morte. Assim como qualquer pessoa percebe que sua lembranÃ§a de algo vivido vinte anos antes se refere Ã quele tempo passado, tambÃ©m quem vÃª o estado de sono por meio da clarividÃªncia sabe que o que enxerga nÃ£o tem significado para o presente, mas prenuncia o que deverÃ¡ ser experimentado apÃ³s a morte, quando tivermos que percorrer, ao reverso, tudo o que tivermos feito na Terra. Ã‰ por isso que essa imagem do sono Ã© meio-realidade, meio-aparÃªncia: estÃ¡ relacionada ao futuro. Logo, para a consciÃªncia comum, Ã© uma experiÃªncia inconsciente daquilo por que o homem tem de passar, que chamei em meu livroTeosofia de mundo da alma. E a consciÃªncia intuitiva e inspirada, descrita em meu livroO conhecimento dos mundos superiores, reÃºne, a partir da observaÃ§Ã£o do sono, o que o homem tem que passar durante o primeiro estÃ¡gio apÃ³s a morte. Essas coisas nÃ£o sÃ£o meras fabricaÃ§Ãµes; sÃ£o claramente observadas, uma vez que o dom da observaÃ§Ã£o tenha sido adquirido. Portanto, desde ir dormir atÃ© despertar, o homem vivencia, sem o seu corpo, o que fez com ele quando acordado.
Assim, meus queridos amigos, comparei a experiÃªncia do homem em conexÃ£o com seres superiores no mundo espiritual, que alterna com sua experiÃªncia do eu, com a respiraÃ§Ã£o: inspiraÃ§Ã£o e expiraÃ§Ã£o. Em nosso processo respiratÃ³rio e nos processos relacionados com a fala e o canto, podemos reconhecer uma imagem da â€œrespiraÃ§Ã£oâ€ no mundo espiritual. Conforme eu jÃ¡ disse, nossa vida no mundo espiritual entre a morte e um novo nascimento alterna entre a contemplaÃ§Ã£o do eu interior e o tornar-se um com os seres das hierarquias superiores; olhar de dentro para fora, tornar-nos um com nÃ³s mesmos. Isso ocorre tal como inspirar e expirar. Inspiramo-nos e depois nos expiramos; e isto Ã©, obviamente, uma respiraÃ§Ã£o espiritual. Aqui na Terra, esse processo de respiraÃ§Ã£o se torna memÃ³ria e amor. E, de fato, a memÃ³ria e o amor tambÃ©m atuam juntos aqui na vida fÃsica terrena como uma espÃ©cie de respiraÃ§Ã£o. E se com os olhos da alma vocÃªs forem capazes de ver corretamente esta vida fÃsica, serÃ£o capazes de observar em uma importante manifestaÃ§Ã£o da respiraÃ§Ã£o â€“ no falar e no cantar â€“ a atuaÃ§Ã£o fisiolÃ³gica conjunta da memÃ³ria e do amor.
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
Hoje, desejei tratar de um desses pontos de vista, meus queridos amigos, para que, de certo Ã¢ngulo, vocÃªs formem uma imagem de como o homem estÃ¡ conectado com o mundo espiritual. Espero que possamos continuar ampliando esses estudos em um futuro nÃ£o muito distante.
