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.

Since Munich in 1907, coordination instead of subordination. Harmony in esoteric teachings. The difference between exoteric and esoteric observation: in exoteric observation, the speaker bears the responsibility; in esoteric observation, the responsibility lies with the being behind the speaker, whose mouth he uses. We must regard the esoteric lessons as messages from these beings.
