no Organismo Humano [em inglÃªs, Spiritual Relationships in the Human Organism], e
Hoje, gostaria de falar sobre como a vida do homem na Terra Ã©, em certo sentido, uma imagem inversa dessas experiÃªncias. A vida humana terrestre Ã© compreendida apenas quando suas manifestaÃ§Ãµes particulares podem ser relacionadas aos seus complementos no mundo espiritual, onde o homem passa a maior parte de sua existÃªncia.
Gostaria, primeiramente, de falar sobre algumas das maneiras pelas quais a alma humana se expressa durante a vida terrena, na medida em que podem ser relacionadas a experiÃªncias no mundo espiritual. A partir das minhas duas Ãºltimas palestras aqui, vocÃªs terÃ£o percebido que as experiÃªncias da alma humana entre a morte e o renascimento diferem essencialmente daquelas entre o nascimento e a morte. Aqui na Terra as experiÃªncias de um homem sÃ£o todas mediadas por seu corpo, seja o corpo fÃsico ou o corpo etÃ©rico. Nada do que ele experimenta na Terra pode se dar sem o apoio da natureza corpÃ³rea. PoderÃamos facilmente imaginar, por exemplo, que o pensar Ã© um ato puramente espiritual e que, da maneira como sucede na alma humana terrena, nÃ£o se relaciona a existÃªncia em um corpo. Em certo sentido, Ã© assim. Mas espiritualmente independente como o pensamento humano Ã©, ele nÃ£o poderia seguir seu curso aqui na existÃªncia terrena se fosse incapaz de receber o suporte do corpo e de seus processos. Posso me valer de uma comparaÃ§Ã£o que usei muitas vezes aqui em ocasiÃµes semelhantes. Quando um homem estÃ¡ caminhando, o solo em que caminha certamente nÃ£o Ã© a parte essencial de sua atividade â€“ a parte essencial estÃ¡ dentro de sua pele â€“, mas sem o apoio do solo ele nÃ£o poderia obter Ãªxito.
Ocorre o mesmo com o pensamento. Em essÃªncia, o pensamento certamente nÃ£o Ã© um processo cerebral, mas sem o suporte do cÃ©rebro ele nÃ£o poderia ter seu curso terrestre. Ã€ luz dessa comparaÃ§Ã£o, obtÃ©m-se uma concepÃ§Ã£o correta da espiritualidade, bem como das limitaÃ§Ãµes fÃsicas do pensamento humano. Em suma, meus queridos amigos, aqui na vida terrena nÃ£o hÃ¡ nada no homem que nÃ£o dependa do corpo como sustento. Carregamos nossos Ã³rgÃ£os dentro do corpo - pulmÃ£o, coraÃ§Ã£o, cÃ©rebro e assim por diante. Com saÃºde normal, nÃ£o temos percepÃ§Ã£o consciente de nossos Ã³rgÃ£os internos. NÃ³s os percebemos apenas quando doentes, e ainda assim de maneira muito imperfeita. Nunca podemos afirmar que possuÃmos conhecimento de um Ã³rgÃ£o por lhe termos olhado diretamente, a menos que estejamos estudando anatomia â€“ mas aÃ nÃ£o estamos estudando um Ã³rgÃ£o vivo. Nunca podemos dizer que temos a mesma visÃ£o de um Ã³rgÃ£o interno que temos de um objeto externo. Ã‰ caracterÃstico da vida terrena nÃ£o conhecermos o interior de nosso corpo por meio da consciÃªncia comum. Ainda menos um homem conhece do que ele geralmente considera de maior valor para sua existÃªncia corporal â€“ o interior de sua cabeÃ§a. Pois quando ele comeÃ§a a saber alguma coisa a seu respeito, via de regra, o conhecimento se mostra deveras desagradÃ¡vel â€“ dor de cabeÃ§a e tudo o que a acompanha.
Ora, meus queridos amigos, se entre a morte e um novo nascimento nÃ£o tivÃ©ssemos a experiÃªncia de olhar para dentro de nÃ³s mesmos e de encontrar o mundo do espÃrito, aqui na Terra nÃ£o haveria tal coisa como moral. O que retemos dessa experiÃªncia dos seres no mundo espiritual, quando entramos na vida terrena, Ã© uma inclinaÃ§Ã£o para a vida moral. A forÃ§a dessa inclinaÃ§Ã£o se dÃ¡ proporcionalmente Ã clareza com que, entre a morte e o novo nascimento, o homem experimentou a convivÃªncia com os espÃritos do mundo superior. E qualquer um que, em um sentido espiritualmente correto, examine essas coisas, sabe que os homens imorais, como resultado de sua vida anterior na Terra, tiveram uma experiÃªncia muito embotada dessa existÃªncia espiritual. Mas, se entre a morte e um novo nascimento, pudÃ©ssemos experimentar apenas o que nos torna um com os seres do mundo superior, e nunca pudÃ©ssemos experimentar a nÃ³s mesmos, entÃ£o seria impossÃvel alcanÃ§armos, na Terra, a liberdade, consciÃªncia da liberdade, consciÃªncia da nossa personalidade, que Ã© fundamentalmente idÃªntica Ã consciÃªncia da liberdade. Assim, quando, na Terra, desenvolvemos moralidade e liberdade, elas sÃ£o memÃ³rias do ritmo que experimentamos no mundo espiritual entre a morte e um novo nascimento. Ao direcionarmos nosso olhar Ã alma, podemos falar mais precisamente sobre o que nela ecoa: por um lado, tornar-se um com os seres espirituais e, por outro, nossa experiÃªncia da consciÃªncia espiritual do eu. O que durante a vida terrena permanece em nossa alma como um eco de nos tornarmos um com os seres do mundo espiritual Ã© a capacidade para o amor. Essa capacidade para o amor estÃ¡ mais intimamente relacionada Ã vida moral do que se pensa.Pois sem a capacidade para o amor, nÃ£o haveria vida moral aqui na Terra; tudo isso surge da compreensÃ£o com que nos depar
amos com a alma de outrem, e do esforÃ§o para realizar o que fazemos a partir dessa compreensÃ£o. Comportarmo-nos abnegadamente com os demais e agirmos moralmente no amor sÃ£o essencialmente ecos de nossa vida em comunhÃ£o com seres espirituais, entre a morte e o renascimento; e isso permanece conosco depois da nossa experiÃªncia do que se poderia chamar de solidÃ£o â€“ pois Ã© sentida como solitÃ¡ria a experiÃªncia do nosso eu no mundo espiritual quando, por assim dizer, expiramos. A inspiraÃ§Ã£o Ã© como uma experiÃªncia de seres espirituais; a expiraÃ§Ã£o Ã© como uma experiÃªncia do nosso eu. Mas sentir-se solitÃ¡rio â€“ bem, esse sentimento tem seu eco aqui na Terra na nossa capacidade para a lembranÃ§a, nossa memÃ³ria. Como seres humanos, nÃ£o terÃamos memÃ³ria se ela nÃ£o fosse um eco do que descrevemos como um sentimento de solidÃ£o. Somos indivÃduos reais no mundo espiritual porque â€“ nÃ£o posso dizer que seja porque nos retiramos para dentro de nÃ³s mesmos â€“ mas porque somos capazes de nos libertar dos espÃritos superiores dentro de nÃ³s. Isso nos torna independentes no mundo espiritual. Aqui na Terra somos independentes porque somos capazes de lembrar nossas experiÃªncias. Pense no que seria de sua independÃªncia se, em seus pensamentos, vocÃª tivesse que viver sempre no presente. Seus pensamentos lembrados sÃ£o o que possibilita que vocÃª tenha uma vida interior. Lembrar nos torna personalidades aqui na Terra. E lembrar Ã© o eco do que descrevi como a experiÃªncia de solidÃ£o no mundo espiritual.
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
Chegamos agora a um conceito extraordinariamente sutil. Pense em como, de fora, temos que viver nossas aÃ§Ãµes novamente com nosso ego e com nosso corpo astral. A capacidade de fazÃª-lo Ã© adquirida na proporÃ§Ã£o do grau de amor que desenvolvemos. Esse Ã© o segredo da vida, no que diz respeito ao amor. Se um homem Ã© realmente capaz de desprender-se de si mesmo no amor, amando ao prÃ³ximo como a si mesmo, aprende o que precisa durante o sono para experienciar, ao contrÃ¡rio, plenamente e sem dor, o que deve ser vivenciado dessa forma. Porque, nesta hora, ele deve estar completamente fora de si mesmo. Se um homem Ã© um ser sem amor, surge uma sensaÃ§Ã£o quando, fora de si, ele tem que experimentar as aÃ§Ãµes que realizou sem amor. Isso o retÃ©m. Pessoas sem amor dormem como se â€“ para usar uma metÃ¡fora â€“ tivessem falta de fÃ´lego. Assim, tudo o que somos capazes de cultivar em nÃ³s por meio do amor se torna verdadeiramente frutÃfero durante o sono. E o que Ã© assim desenvolvido entre irmos dormir e acordar atravessa o portÃ£o da morte e subsiste no mundo espiritual. Aquilo que se perde entre a morte e o renascimento, quando vivemos junto aos os seres espirituais dos mundos superiores, Ã© recuperado por nÃ³s como uma semente, durante a vida terrena, por meio do amor. Pois o amor revela seu significado quando, com seu ego e corpo astral, o homem, dormindo, estÃ¡ fora de seu corpo fÃsico e corpo etÃ©rico. Entre ir dormir e acordar, seu ser essencial se amplia, se ele estÃ¡ cheio de amor, e se prepara bem para o que lhe acontecerÃ¡ depois da morte. Se ele nÃ£o tem amor e estÃ¡ mal preparado para o que lhe acontecerÃ¡ apÃ³s a morte, seu ser se estreita. A semente para o que acontece apÃ³s a morte repousa preeminentemente no desdobramento do amor.
Durante nossa vida na Terra, entre o nascimento e a morte, nossas memÃ³rias sÃ£o extraordinariamente fugazes; apenas imagens permanecem. Reflita sobre quÃ£o pouco essas imagens retÃªm dos eventos vivenciados. Basta se lembrar da indescritÃvel tristeza sofrida diante da morte de alguÃ©m muito prÃ³ximo, e imaginar intensamente o estado interior da alma a isso associado; e entÃ£o observar como isso aparece como uma experiÃªncia interior quando, depois de dez anos, vocÃª a evoca. Tornou-se uma sombra pÃ¡lida, quase abstrata. Assim Ã© a nossa capacidade de recordaÃ§Ã£o: pÃ¡lida e abstrata, em comparaÃ§Ã£o com o pleno vigor da vida imediata. Por que nossa lembranÃ§a Ã© tÃ£o fraca e sombria? Ela Ã©, de fato, a sombra de nossa experiÃªncia do eu entre a morte e um novo nascimento. Compreendida nessa experiÃªncia do eu estÃ¡ a faculdade de lembrar, de modo que ela realmente nos confere a nossa existÃªncia. Aquilo que nos dÃ¡ carne e sangue aqui na Terra nos confere, entre a morte e um novo nascimento, a faculdade da memÃ³ria. LÃ¡ a memÃ³ria Ã© robusta e vigorosa â€“ se Ã© que posso usar tais expressÃµes para o que Ã© espiritual â€“ depois ela incorpora carne e enfraquece. Quando morremos, durante alguns dias â€“ tenho frequentemente descrito isso â€“, o Ãºltimo resquÃcio de memÃ³ria ainda fica presente no corpo etÃ©rico. Se, ao atravessarmos o portÃ£o da morte, voltamos o olhar para nossa vida passada na Terra, a memÃ³ria se esvai. E dessa memÃ³ria desabrocha o que a forÃ§a do amor na Terra nos deu como forÃ§a para a vida apÃ³s a morte. Assim, a forÃ§a da memÃ³ria Ã© a heranÃ§a que recebemos de nossa vida prÃ©-terrena, e a forÃ§a do amor Ã© a semente para o alÃ©m-morte. Eis a relaÃ§Ã£o entre a vida terrena e o mundo espiritual.
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.
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.
Obtemos a ideia acertada disso se dissermos: antes de descerem Ã Terra vocÃªs estavam no mundo espiritual e viviam lÃ¡, conforme descrito. O grande esquecimento veio. No que sua boca profere, do que sua alma se lembra, em como sua alma ama, vocÃªs nÃ£o reconhecem o eco do que eram no mundo espiritual. Na arte, entretanto, recuamos alguns passos da vida, por assim dizer, e nos aproximamos do que Ã©ramos em nossa vida prÃ©-natal e do que seremos em nossa vida apÃ³s a morte. E se formos capazes de reconhecer como a memÃ³ria Ã© um eco do que tÃnhamos na vida prÃ©-terrena, e como o desdobramento do amor Ã© a semente do que teremos apÃ³s a morte; se por meio do conhecimento do espÃrito imaginarmos o passado e o futuro da existÃªncia humana, na arte invocamos ao presente â€“ na medida do possÃvel para o homem em sua organizaÃ§Ã£o fÃsica â€“ invocamos o que nos une ao espÃrito.
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
Prova abundante disso reside na maneira como a arte se desenvolveu. Originalmente era uma com a vida religiosa. Nas eras primitivas da humanidade, ela era imbuÃda nos cultos religiosos. As imagens que os homens formavam de seus deuses eram a fonte das artes plÃ¡sticas. A tÃtulo de exemplo, recordemos os MistÃ©rios da SamotrÃ¡cia a que alude Goethe na segunda parte de Fausto, onde fala dos Cabiros. [Vide ciclo de palestrasGoetheanism as an impulse for man's transformation,Dornach, janeiro de 1919.] Em meu estÃºdio em Dornach tentei fazer um desenho desses Cabiros. E o que resultou disso? Foi algo muito interessante. Simplesmente me propus a desvendar intuitivamente a maneira como os Cabiros teriam aparecido nos MistÃ©rios da SamotrÃ¡cia. E imagine sÃ³: cheguei a trÃªs jarros, mas jarros, Ã© verdade, moldados plÃ¡stica e artisticamente. A princÃpio fiquei pasmo, embora Goethe tenha realmente falado de jarros. O assunto ficou claro para mim apenas quando descobri que esses jarros ficavam sobre um altar: entÃ£o, algo semelhante a incenso era colocado neles, as palavras sacrificiais eram cantadas, e pelo poder das palavras de sacrifÃcio â€“ que nos tempos mais antigos da humanidade carregavam uma forÃ§a de estÃmulo vibratÃ³rio bastante diferente de qualquer coisa possÃvel hoje â€“ a fumaÃ§a do incenso era formada na imagem desejada da divindade. Assim, no ritual, o cÃ¢ntico imediatamente se expressava plasticamente na fumaÃ§a do incenso.
A humanidade realmente adquiriu a arte da vida religiosa. E Schiller tem razÃ£o ao dizer: â€œSomente no alvorecer da beleza se avanÃ§a para a terra do conhecimentoâ€, que geralmente se encontra citado nos livros como â€œSomente atravÃ©s da porta da beleza se avanÃ§a para a terra do conhecimento.â€ Se um artista comete um lapso, isso Ã© passado para a posteridade. A leitura certa, Ã© claro, Ã©: â€œSomente no alvorecer da beleza se avanÃ§a para a terra do conhecimentoâ€. Em outras palavras: todo conhecimento vem por meio da arte. Fundamentalmente, nÃ£o hÃ¡ conhecimento que nÃ£o seja intimamente relacionado Ã arte. Ã‰ apenas o conhecimento ligado ao exterior, Ã utilidade, que aparenta nÃ£o ter ligaÃ§Ã£o com a arte. Mas esse conhecimento sÃ³ pode se estender ao que, no mundo, um mero lapidador saberia sobre pintura. Assim que na quÃmica ou na fÃsica se vai alÃ©m â€“ estou falando figurativamente, mas vocÃª sabe o que quero dizer â€“ do que a mera retificaÃ§Ã£o de cores implica, a ciÃªncia se torna arte. E quando o artÃstico Ã© compreendido em sua natureza espiritual da maneira correta, ele gradualmente avanÃ§a para o religioso. Arte, religiÃ£o e ciÃªncia eram uma coisa sÃ³, e ainda Ã© possÃvel termos uma noÃ§Ã£o de sua origem comum. Isso alcanÃ§aremos apenas quando a civilizaÃ§Ã£o e o desenvolvimento humano retornarem ao espÃrito; quando levarmos a sÃ©rio a relaÃ§Ã£o existente entre o homem aqui, em sua existÃªncia fÃsica terrena, e o mundo espiritual. Devemos nos apropriar desse conhecimento sob os mais diversos pontos de vista.
