This passage is not Rudolf Steiner — the editor. This passage is one of the notes the editor printed after the lecture under the heading "Synopsis" (see `footnote`), NOT lecture text. Words it quotes from other authors or from Steiner are the note's quotations and must not be quoted as the lecture.
Record: unknown. How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here. Unknown is not an assurance of a stenogram: check the edition's own notes before resting an argument on one word.
But the Mystery of Golgotha also saved mankind in that Age from a threatened calamity. Certain spiritual powers, hostile to man, inspired the Graeco-Persian thinkers of the Academy of Jundi-Shapur with a diabolical idea. They planned to give man certain knowledge two millennia before it was due. This would so bind his soul to his body that the soul also would partake of physical death, and would have no future spiritual evolution. This was to have taken place about A.D. 666.
