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: «Gedächtnisaufzeichnungen von Teilnehmern sowie Notizen von Vorträgen» (Participants' records written from memory, and notes of lectures). Rudolf Steiner Verlag Gesamtverzeichnis 2022, volume subtitle. The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.

> Strive for fire > Seek fire > Then you will have fire > Kindle the fire > Add the fire > Cook fire in fire > Throw body, soul, and spirit into the fire > Then you will have fire, dead and alive > It will turn black, yellow, white, and red > Give birth to your children in the fire > Feed, water, and nourish them in the fire > Thus they live and die in fire > And are fire and remain in fire > Their silver and gold will all become fire > And will finally become a fourfold philosophical fire.
