Georg Unger, former head of the Mathematical-Astronomical Section, was a mathematician with a choleric temperament. This combination made him quite good with concise formulae, including questions of life. Georg said that we can learn in three ways. The etheric body learns through repetition. You could keep practicing eurythmy\u2019s threefold stepping, lift-carry-place, for a lifetime. The astral body, on the other hand, learns by realizing something once. For example, to gain a holistic view of the world, it\u2019s good to know that the oceans flow at the same pace as the human gait: between one and two metres per second. Anyone who walks resonates with the water body of the Earth! The \u2018I\u2019 enhances both forms of learning by allowing itself to be inspired by what\u2019s new, like the astral body, and then dealing with this new independently and individualizing it, which requires repetition, like the etheric body. In the past, anthroposophical training focused on introductory courses, or in Unger’s language, \u201castral learning,\u201d and on reinforcing already acquired knowledge, or \u201cetheric learning.\u201d Now, personal approaches and individualization have become central. Now, the \u2018I\u2019 is learning, Georg Unger would say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
