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

And when we finally reach the point where we act in a good and noble way, it is the God within us who is good. As we become more selfless, we will notice, for example, that we no longer feel fear or terror. If a loud noise suddenly occurs next to us, we will no longer startle as we did before. The God who makes us act good and noble is our archetype. Our archetype created us into what we are now. And we must become the image of our archetype again.
