LowLow alignmentMost translators re-paragraphed Steiner substantially. The locus identifies the same chapter or section, but paragraph-N to paragraph-N mapping is loose. For exact-quotation precision, compare with the German.
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.
Once we have developed this insight within ourselves, it is like a third dove that rises higher but always returns to us, thus connecting us with the archetype that is determined in Christ. When this realization has become completely alive within us, we surrender to Christ and die in Him. Exoterically, we say the words: E.D.N. - I.C.M. P.S.S.R. Esoterically, they cannot be written down.
