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 Erinnerungsaufzeichnungen von Teilnehmenden» (From participants' records written from memory). Rudolf Steiner Verlag Gesamtverzeichnis 2022, volume subtitle. The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.

Now it is not only the breathing of man that is so much greater in the spiritual world in relation to the cosmic, [but] we have to think of everything magnified 25,920 times. - Small things that we hardly notice here, a small mistake, for example, that we almost overlook, takes on a different sound in the spiritual world. There it has a tremendous influence. Everything in our soul life takes on meaning by being magnified 25,920 times.
