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.
Yes, my dear friends, let us consider that which has entered into earth evolution through the Mystery of Golgotha. Earlier, before the Mystery of Golgotha, man's relationship to his folk-spirits was different from what it is now. In the past, man stood before his national spirit and Christ was not yet there. Now, however, since the Mystery of Golgotha, a possibility has been created for people to turn to the spirit of the people with a christened soul.
