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.

What the leading elements can be is embodied in the two powers that are trapped on both sides. This needed to be fanned. Evil had to come in. Evil is also needed to bring forth good. Ahriman is also used by the spiritual world to bring good. Something like a spark of life had to enter the materialism of Central Europe. How did it enter? Through the assassination in Sarajevo! In the physical world, death is death; in the spiritual world, it is something that revives. Who could have imagined that the Sarajevo attack would present itself to the occult observer in this way? Something as shocking as this has probably never been experienced before! - I myself have never experienced anything like it! Other occultists have not told me anything like this either.
