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.

When we transform our mistakes in this meditative way, we build a temple within ourselves to which we can always retreat from the noise of life, where we can gather strength and draw power, calm, and enthusiasm. We will thus feel more and more intensely that we are one big family gathered around its shining center, the masters of wisdom and harmony of feelings, from whom life and light flow down to us. Our goal will then always shine before us like a bright star that nothing can darken.
