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.

Through trust in these powers and through meditation, we will come into ever stronger contact with them. But this connection can also be strengthened by studying nature and the cosmos; by recognizing the laws, essences and forces that operate there, and gradually sensing the spiritual forces that are the driving ones. Here one learns to understand the language of the hierarchies, God's language – thoughts of the cosmos are hidden in it.
