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.
Now it may be important, after we have considered so many things in relation to life between death and a new birth, to draw attention to something else: to the way in which after death the one who has passed through the gate of death is looked at. He has the opportunity to perceive the soul, the spiritual - the soul-spiritual. Now one must imagine that this perception is a spiritual co-experience.
