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.
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.
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.
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.
