Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Nach zum Teil bruchstückhaften Mitschriften» (From transcripts that are in part fragmentary). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 246), which also speaks of "fragmentarischen Hörernotizen und Vortragszusammenfassungen". The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
Not only the normal rulers and leaders of development play into our culture, but also those beings who remained behind as leaders during the Egyptian Chaldean culture. They give our culture its materialistic coloring. Thus it is that so much emerges that looks grandly like a resurrection of the old Egyptian forces - also like a resurrection of old, good forces that were right then, and which now reappear caricatured in a materialistic reshaping.
